Chairmans Statement (contd)

Top Gloves remarkable strong growth and stellar performance are due to its excellent teamwork, prudence, staying focused in our business and forging ahead towards the right business direction. I am pleased to present the Chairmans review for the Group for the nancial year 2007.
2007 marks the sixth year that Top Glove has been listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and indeed, we are proud to share with you our commendable results, with special thanks to our 800-strong customers operating in more than 180 countries, our valued shareholders, our staffs, our worldwide business associates, suppliers, bankers and friends. Top Gloves remarkable strong growth and stellar performance are due to its excellent teamwork, prudence, staying focused in our business and forging ahead towards the right business direction. As at 31 August 2007, Top Glove has 18 factories supported by 322 highly efcient and advance production lines churning out about 28 billion pieces of premium quality gloves per annum. These gures are not exhaustive as we foresee continuous strong growth in demand in the global glove business. To cater for the strong demand for our gloves, we are very much driven by expansion in production capacity and tight operational controls resulting in consistent high quality gloves. The year under review proved to be yet another year lled with challenges, including the drastic increase in the cost of raw materials such as the price of raw latex, fuel cost, the strengthening of the Malaysian Ringgit, Thai Baht and China Renminbi against the US Dollar. However, with sound business strategies and concerted efforts from all, we managed to weather the difcult times and performed well given the circumstances. This is further complimented by effective cost-cutting measures and initiatives to increase customer satisfaction. In the pipeline is the high possibility of acquiring rubber plantations to have a better control over the highly volatile latex price.

Adopting good Customer Relationship Management (CRM) practices, our Marketing department has been successful in working closely with all our global customers to share part of the rising costs through the acceptance of higher glove prices. Likewise, when there is a drop in price of raw materials, we will share the benets with our customer by offering them more competitive prices. This way, it will always be a win-win situation for both parties. We will always have our customers interest in mind. We have also set ambitious targets for the company to achieve and also to ensure that we maintain the condence that our shareholders have given to the Board of Directors to grow the company from strength to strength, year after year. Business challenges are inevitable in todays ever highly competitive and challenging global business arena. However, I am happy to say that our highly professional and dedicated management team has continuously put in relentless efforts in ensuring the smooth running of our daily operations, continue to improve and working towards zero mistakes by innovating and also undertaking extensive and effective measures to overcome challenges and obstacles. By having effective organizational team activities under various departments in Top Glove, we are able to build and strengthen our positions in the different markets.We believe that not only has this strengthened our positions but it has also allow us to take full advantage of any favorable market situations. Optimization of such areas allows us to have enough resources to overcome any adverse external challenges. Our daily practice of maintaining a good working environment for the employees has also played an important role and helped to better position ourselves for the future growth of the company. Continuous Research & Development (R&D) efforts have enabled Top Glove to be competitive by coming up with innovative productions methods and cost effective measures to produce consistently high quality gloves for our customers. OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS Our continuous focus on robust growth has positioned us to be The Worlds Largest Glove Manufacturer. Today, we are supported by 16 glove factories that are strategically located in Malaysia, Thailand and China with an immense strong production capacity of about 28 billion pieces of gloves per year (and increasing), from our 322 advance and highly efcient production lines. Besides that, we have 2 other latex concentrate plants that have the production capabilities to churn out 90,000 tones of wet latex per annum, which is expected to contribute to about 80 percent of our latex concentrate for in house consumption. We will continue to excel with our carefully planned strategies and continuous innovation in our quest to improve on our quality, manufacturing process, product range and standards. With the completion of our acquisition of Medi-Flex Limited (Medi-Flex) in March 2007, we are putting in relentless efforts to turn Medi-Flex around within the shortest possible time.

The general success of the company is outlined by the simple business rules that are strategically implemented to achieve a better understanding of the market. These business rules are implemented at all levels and factories: 1. 2. 3. 4. Do not lose your shareholders money; Do not lose your health; Do not lose your temper; and Do not lose your customers.
COOPERATION & TEAM WORK At Top Glove, we have always stressed on the importance of teamwork within the organization as this will enable us to spearhead our objectives and overcome obstacles along the way. Strategic planning and distribution of responsibilities to all team members will ensure that work load is distributed evenly. By having these structured programmes, it will enable all team members to achieve their respective targets. With a strong work force of 8,300 from factory workers right up to the management staff in various departments, it is important to stress on teamwork if we are to meet the demands of our more than 800 customers worldwide. Each and every individual in the company plays an important role in meeting the targets and directions set. This strong will and determination are pre-requisites to bring the Group to a higher level of success. I strongly believe that the good co-operation and teamwork among our staff at all levels, together with good knowledge and experience as well as their own individual specialty will further encourage the distribution of good knowledge at all levels. This learning cycle will increase the efciency of our operations and improve productivity at a minimal cost via the adoption of new technology in our operational areas. I believe that improvement in these areas will be benecial for both the short and long term goals of the Company. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE The Top Glove Group continued to achieve another year of remarkable revenue growth of 24% to RM1,228.9 million for the nancial year ended 31 August 2007 against RM992.6 million recorded in the previous nancial year. The growth was mainly attributed to the continued increase in customer base globally, higher volume of sales contributed by the increased capacity, as well as, to our continued ability to pass on the increase in operating cost. Against this backdrop, the Group continued to turn in record prots for year 2007. Pre-tax prot registered of RM118.6 million represented an increase of 29% over the previous record pre-tax prot of RM91.8 million achieved in 2006, whilst net profit grew by 32% year-on-year to RM103.8 million from RM78.4 million achieved in 2006. Earnings per share rose to 36.16 sen from 29.21 sen in 2006. Total assets of the Top Glove Group increased from RM762.1 million as at August 2006 to RM1,053.3 million in August 2007, an increase of 38%, a reection of the Group increase in asset base. In line with the strong nancial performance for the year, net assets also rose by 124% to RM637.2 million from RM284.1 million. DIVIDENDS In line with the favorable results, the Board of Directors is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 6% (tax exempt) amounting approximately RM9.0 million and a 6% (with tax 26%) amounting to approximately RM6.7 million for the nancial year ended 31 August 2007. The proposed nal dividend is subject to the shareholders approval in the forthcoming Ninth Annual General Meeting. The company had on 4 July 2007 declared an interim dividend of 8.0% (tax exempt) amounting to RM12 million in conjunction with the third quarter ended 31 May 2007 financial results announcement. Payment of the interim dividend was made on 13 September 2007.

Therefore, on a full year basis, subject to the shareholders approval for the proposed nal dividend, together with the interim dividend already declared and paid, will represent a total dividend of 20% for the nancial year ended 31 August 2007 as compared to a total dividend of 18% for the nancial year ended 31 August 2006. This would translate to a 2% increase in gross dividend payment. The total dividend proposed/paid represents a distribution to shareholders of 27% of the Groups net prots for this nancial year. FUTURE PROSPECT Top Glove has been in the expansion mode since our listing in year 2001 and this is attributed to the increase in demand of the world rubber gloves usage which currently stands at 123 billion pieces per annum and is still growing at an increasing rate of between 10 to 12 percent per year. In the pipe lines, we have projects that will enable us to increase our market share to the targeted 25% by December 2007. To meet our target, we will concentrate heavily on human resources training and improving our gloving process. The Group has emphasized on improving our standards especially in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) as well as extensive Research & Developments projects both internally and externally. All these measures are carried out carefully to anticipate the continuous strong growth and demand for our new products in the global market. In view of the increasing stringent health standards and awareness throughout the world, Top Glove is playing its role by producing premium quality gloves to help protect and enrich human lives. Collaboration with external parties, particularly government agencies to improve the production and manufacturing process has been given priority to ensure that we meet the targeted cost effectiveness. Latest addition to the array of products is by introducing polyethylene aprons and gloves, which are widely used in the non medical elds. Promotional efforts have been carried out by participating in both medical and non medical tradeshows to capture both segments of the glove markets. Participation and new targets have been identied to enable our marketing team to open up this niche markets which have tremendous potentials to increase gloves usage. Moving forward, we are also aggressively extending our network to Eastern Europe. Having joined European Union (EU), the health standard in Eastern Europe has also improved and complied with the high European health standards. Countries from Latin America are also continuously in the frontline to use more gloves as the need has arisen with the effect greater health awareness and the emergence of new diseases. IN APPRECIATION I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all our existing shareholders for giving us the opportunity to work together and maintaining the trust, support and condence in building a good relationship with various parties. To our business associates, customers, suppliers, bankers, business analyst and fund managers, we would like to thank you for your contributions and initiatives taken to enable us to make the year 2007 a successful year for all of us.

Kenyataan Pengerusi
Pertumbuhan yang kukuh dan prestasi cemerlang Top Glove adalah lahir dari hasil semangat berpasukan yang jitu, pendekatan perniagaan yang bijaksana dan tumpuan berterusan kepada perniagaan kami agar ia bergerak maju ke arah yang betul. Saya dengan sukacitanya membentangkan kepada anda Kenyataan Pengerusi Kumpulan bagi tahun kewangan 2007.
Tahun 2007 merupakan tahun keenam Top Glove disenaraikan di Papan Utama Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad dan kami berasa sungguh bangga untuk berkongsi dengan anda keputusan yang cemerlang. Kami ingin mengucapkan terima kasih khas kepada 800 pelanggan yang beroperasi di lebih 180 buah negara, kepada para pemegang saham kami yang tidak ternilai, kepada kakitangan kami, kepada rakan perniagaan, pembekal, ahli bank dan kawan kami di seluruh dunia. Pertumbuhan yang kukuh dan prestasi cemerlang Top Glove adalah lahir dari hasil semangat berpasukan yang jitu, pendekatan perniagaan yang bijaksana dan tumpuan berterusan kepada perniagaan kami agar ia bergerak maju ke arah yang betul. Sehingga 31 Ogos 2007, Top Glove mempunyai 18 buah kilang yang disokong oleh 322 mesin pengeluaran yang cekap dan canggih dalam mengeluarkan lebih kurang 28 bilion helai sarung tangan berkualiti setiap tahun. Angkaangka ini masih meningkat oleh kerana kami menjangkakan pertumbuhan yang memberangsangkan dalam permintaan perniagaan sarung tangan getah dalam pasaran dunia. Untuk memenuhi permintaan kukuh bagi sarung tangan kami, peningkatan aktif dalam kapasiti pengeluaran dan melaksanakan kawalan operasi yang ketat dalam mengeluarkan sarung tangan yang berkualiti tinggi secara konsisten telah dijalankan. Tahun 2007 ini merupakan satu lagi tahun yang penuh dengan cabaran apabila ianya melibatkan peningkatan harga kos bahan mentah seperti harga lateks mentah, bahan api, dan peningkatan nilai Ringgit Malaysia, Baht Thailand, dan Renminbi China berbanding dengan nilai Dolar Amerika Syarikat. Namun demikian, dengan adanya strategi perniagaan yang sempurna serta usaha bersatu daripada semua pihak, kami telah berjaya mengatasi segala cabaran dan mencapai prestasi cemerlang dalam keadaan tersebut. Di samping itu, langkah-langkah dan daya usaha bagi mengurangkan kos yang berkesan telah diambil untuk mempertingkatkan tahap kepuasan pelanggan. Dalam usaha meningkatkan kawalan terhadap harga lateks yang sentiasa turun naik, berkemungkinan besar Kumpulan akan mengambil alih dan melibatkan diri dalam sektor perladangan khususnya ladang getah. Selaras dengan keperihatinan terhadap kepentingan para pelanggan, kami telah melaksanakan amalan Pengurusan Hubung-Baik Pelanggan (Customer Relationship Management). Oleh itu, bahagian Pemasaran telah berjaya bekerjasama rapat dengan semua pelanggan di seluruh dunia untuk berkongsi kos pembuatan yang kian meningkat. Kami berjaya menyakinkan mereka dalam menerima harga sarung tangan yang lebih tinggi. Namun demikian, apabila harga bahan mentah menurun, kami akan berkongsi faedah ini dengan mereka melalui penawaran harga yang lebih saingan agar kedua-dua pihak dapat mencapai manfaat dan keadaan yang saling menguntungkan. Malah, kami juga telah menetapkan sasaran untuk dicapai oleh syarikat dan memastikan kami dapat mengekalkan keyakinan para pemegang saham yang diamanahkan kepada Lembaga Pengarah untuk memperkembangkan syarikat dan mencapai kejayaan dari tahun ke tahun. Dalam arena perniagaan sedunia yang penuh saingan hari ini, cabaran perniagaan memang tidak dapat dielakkan. Namun demikian, saya dengan gembiranya ingin menyatakan di sini bahawa pasukan pengurusan kami yang profesional dan penuh dedikasi sentiasa berusaha untuk memastikan operasi harian berjalan dengan lancar, peningkatan mutu kerja dan berusaha ke arah keadaan silap sifar dengan pengambilan langkah-langkah yang membawa pembaharuan secara menyeluruh serta berkesan demi mengatasi berbagai cabaran dan halangan.

Dengan keberkesanan aktiviti berpasukan di pelbagai jabatan di Top Glove, kami dapat membina dan memperkukuhkan kedudukan di pasaran yang berbeza. Kami percaya bahawa langkah ini bukan sahaja telah memperkuatkan lagi kedudukan, tetapi juga membolehkan kami mengambil kesempatan sepenuhnya terhadap mana-mana keadaan pasaran yang menguntungkan. Dengan mengoptimumkan bidang-bidang tersebut kami dapat memperolehi sumber yang mencukupi untuk mengatasi pelbagai cabaran luar. Di samping itu, kami telah mengekalkan suasana kerja yang baik bagi para pekerja yang juga turut membantu dalam penyediaan untuk mencapai kadar pertumbuhan pada masa depan. Usaha Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan yang berterusan ini telah mengekalkan kedudukan kami yang penuh saingan menerusi kaedah pengeluaran inovatif dan langkah keberkesanan kos untuk pengeluaran sarung tangan yang berkualiti bagi memenuhi permintaan pelanggan-pelanggan kami. TINJAUAN MENYELURUH OPERASI Tumpuan berterusan untuk mencapai pertumbuhan yang kukuh telah membolehkan kami mencapai kedudukan sebagai Pengeluar Sarung Tangan Getah Terbesar di Dunia. Kini kami memiliki 16 buah kilang sarung tangan yang terletak di lokasilokasi strategik di Malaysia, Thailand dan China dengan kapasiti pengeluaran lebih kurang 28 bilion helai sarung tangan setiap tahun (dan terus meningkat) melalui 322 mesin pengeluaran yang canggih dan amat berkesan. Selain itu, kami mempunyai 2 lagi loji lateks pekat yang mempunyai kapasiti pengeluaran untuk mengeluarkan 90,000 tan metrik lateks basah setahun dan ini dijangka menyumbang kepada kira-kira 80 peratus lateks pekat bagi keperluan dan penggunaan dalaman Kumpulan. Kami akan terus berusaha mencapai prestasi cemerlang dengan perancangan strategi yang teliti dan inovasi berterusan dalam usaha mempertingkatkan kualiti, proses pengeluaran, rangkaian serta piawaian barangan. Dengan selesainya pengambilalihan Medi-Flex Limited (Medi-Flex) pada Mac 2007, kami sedang giat berusaha untuk memulihkan kedudukan Medi-Flex dalam tempoh yang sesingkat mungkin. Setakat ini, Medi-Flex telah berjaya memperbaiki kedudukannya dengan ketara setelah menggunakan tatacara operasi dan amalan perniagaan Top Glove. Pasukan petugas telah ditubuhkan di semua peringkat dan jabatan untuk memastikan syarikat dapat mencapai matlamat yang ditetapkan. Malah kami telah memberi tumpuan semula kepada kekuatan dan kelebihan Medi-Flex dalam teknologi pengeluaran sarung tangan bilik bersih (clean room gloves) dan kepakaran lain. Selain dari itu, kami menganggap bahawa pengambilalihan syarikat ini sesuai dengan struktur kumpulan demi meningkatkan imej Top Glove sebagai Satu Pusat Sumber Sarung Tangan Komprehensif bagi pelanggan pelanggan yang sedia ada dan juga pelanggan pelanggan baru pada masa yang akan datang. Saya dengan sukacitanya ingin berkongsi dengan anda bahawa melalui teknologi dan keperisian automatik, kami dapat menghasilkan sarung tangan berkualiti dengan kos yang lebih berkesan. Kilang-kilang kami kini dilengkapi dengan mesin pengeluaran yang berdaya saing, cekap dan direka untuk beroperasi dengan lebih laju dan mantap dalam penghasilan sarung tangan yang berkualiti. Saya percaya dengan kawalan yang sempurna, Kumpulan akan dapat menguasai bahagian pasaran yang lebih luas pada masa yang akan datang. Sehubungan dengan ini syarikat penuh yakin dengan pertumbuhan yang berterusan menerusi usaha berpanjangan seperti aktiviti pemasaran yang agresif dan langkah kawalan kos dan kualiti yang lebih ketat dan bermutu. Kejayaan menyeluruh syarikat adalah berdasarkan beberapa prinsip perniagaan mudah yang telah dilaksanakan secara strategik untuk mencapai tahap kefahaman yang lebih baik tentang pasaran. Prinsip perniagaan yang dilaksanakan di semua peringkat dan kilang adalah seperti berikut: 1. 2. 3. 4. Tidak mendatangkan kerugian kepada para pemegang saham; Lebih menitikberatkan kesihatan badan anda; Tidak mudah hilang sabar; dan Tidak kehilangan pelanggan.

Program berstruktur tersebut akan memastikan keseluruhan anggota pasukan dapat mencapai matlamat masing-masing. Dengan jumlah pekerja sebanyak 8,300 orang yang terdiri dari pekerja kilang sehingga kakitangan pengurusan dalam berbagai jabatan, adalah penting bagi kami menegaskan semangat berpasukan dalam memenuhi permintaan lebih 800 pelanggan di seluruh dunia. Setiap individu di dalam syarikat memainkan peranan penting dalam memenuhi sasaran dan arah yang telah ditetapkan. Hasrat dan keazaman yang kuat ini adalah prasyarat untuk membawa Kumpulan ke tahap kejayaan yang lebih tinggi. Saya percaya bahawa kerjasama dan semangat berpasukan di antara kakitangan kami di semua peringkat, bersama-sama dengan pengetahuan dan pengalaman yang meluas, serta kepakaran setiap individu akan menggalakan kakitangan berkongsi pengetahuan di semua peringkat. Proses pembelajaran ini akan meningkatkan kecekapan operasi kami dan memperbaiki produktiviti dengan kos yang minimum menerusi penggunaan teknologi baru di dalam bidang operasi. Saya percaya bahawa pembaikan dalam bidang-bidang tersebut akan memanfaatkan matlamat jangka pendek dan jangka panjang Syarikat.

Sebahagian besar pertumbuhan tersebut disebabkan pertambahan jumlah pelanggan yang berterusan di seluruh dunia serta jumlah jualan yang lebih tinggi hasil daripada peningkatan kapasiti pengeluaran serta keupayaan kami untuk memindah kenaikan kos operasi. Dalam keadaan tersebut, Kumpulan terus mencapai rekod baru dalam keuntungan bagi tahun 2007. Keuntungan sebelum cukai berjumlah RM118.6 juta atau peningkatan sebanyak 29% berbanding dengan keuntungan sebelum cukai pada tahun lepas yang berjumlah RM91.8 juta yang tercapai pada tahun 2006, manakala keuntungan bersih bertambah sebanyak 32% dari tahun ke tahun kepada RM103.8 juta dari RM78.4 juta yang tercapai pada tahun 2006.

Dividen interim tersebut telah dibayar pada 13 September 2007. Oleh itu, bagi tahun kewangan yang sepenuhnya, dan tertakluk kepada kelulusan pemegang saham untuk dividen akhir yang dicadangkan, maka bersama-sama dividen interim yang telah diumumkan dan dibayar, jumlah dividen bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Ogos 2007 ialah 20% berbanding dengan jumlah dividen sebanyak 18% bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Ogos 2006.

PROSPEK MASA DEPAN
Top Glove telah melaksanakan pelbagai rancangan perkembangan sejak disenaraikan pada tahun 2001 untuk memenuhi peningkatan permintaan penggunaan sarung tangan getah di seluruh dunia yang sehingga kini berjumlah 123 bilion setahun. Jumlah ini masih terus meningkat dengan kadar pertumbuhan di antara 10 hingga 12 peratus setiap tahun. Kami telah merancang projek-projek yang akan membolehkan peningkatan bahagian pasaran kepada sasaran yang dirancang iaitu, sebanyak 25% menjelang Disember 2007. Untuk mencapai sasaran tersebut, kami akan menumpukan perhatian kepada latihan sumber manusia dan mempertingkatkan proses pembuatan sarung tangan. Kumpulan telah menekankan untuk meningkatkan piawaian kami, khasnya dalam Amalan Baik Pengilang (Good Manufacturing Practice) serta projek Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan yang menyeluruh secara dalaman dan luaran. Segala langkah tersebut telah dilaksanakan secara teliti untuk menjangkakan pertumbuhan dan permintaan yang kukuh dan berterusan bagi produk baru kami di dalam pasaran dunia. Memandangkan tahap piawaian kesihatan yang semakin ketat serta kesedaran yang kian meningkat di seluruh dunia, Top Glove memainkan peranannya sebagai pengeluar sarung tangan berkualiti tinggi untuk membantu melindungi dan mempertingkatkan lagi jangka hayat manusia. Tumpuan kami adalah untuk bekerjasama dengan pihak-pihak luar, khususnya agensi-agensi kerajaan demi memperbaiki proses pengeluaran dan pembuatan agar kami dapat memenuhi keberkesanan kos yang disasarkan. Di antara produk terbaru kami ialah apron dan sarung tangan polietilena (polyethylene) yang digunakan secara meluas dalam bidang-bidang bukan perubatan. Usaha promosi gigih telah dijalankan dengan menyertai pameran perdagangan perubatan dan bukan perubatan untuk menembusi kedua-dua segmen pasaran sarung tangan ini. Penyertaan pameran dan sasaran baru telah dikenal pasti untuk membolehkan pasukan pemasaran kami membuka pasaran khusus yang mempunyai potensi besar demi menambah penggunaan sarung tangan. Meninjau ke arah masa depan, kami juga sedang memperkembangkan rangkaian kami secara agresif ke Eropah Timur. Setelah menganggotai Kesatuan Eropah, piawaian kesihatan di Eropah Timur turut dipertingkatkan demi mematuhi piawaian kesihatan Eropah yang tinggi. Negara-negara dari Latin Amerika juga terus menambah penggunaan sarung tangan oleh kerana keperluan yang meningkat dari tahap kesedaran kesihatan yang lebih tinggi dan kemunculan penyakit baru. PENGHARGAAN Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menyampaikan penghargaan dan ucapan terima kasih yang ikhlas dan tidak terhingga kepada seluruh pemegang saham kerana memberi peluang kepada kami untuk bekerjasama, serta mengekalkan kepercayaan, sokongan dan keyakinan dalam menjalin hubungan baik dengan pelbagai pihak.

Notes to the Financial Statements

31 August 2007
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The principal place of business of the Company is located at Lot 4969, Jalan Teratai, Batu 6, off Jalan Meru, 41050 Klang, Selangor. The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and the provision of management services. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 12. There were no signicant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the nancial year. The nancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 12 November 2007. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.1 Basis of Preparation The financial statements comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable Financial Reporting Standards in Malaysia. At the beginning of the current nancial year, the Group and the Company had adopted new and revised Financial Reporting Standards (FRSs) which are mandatory for the nancial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006 as described fully in Note 2.3. The nancial statements of the Group and of the Company have also been prepared on a historical basis. The nancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) and all values are rounded to nearest thousand (RM000) except when otherwise indicated. 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the nancial and operating policies so as to obtain benets from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has such power over another entity. In the Companys separate nancial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in prot or loss. (ii) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The nancial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the Company. All the subsidiaries are consolidated using the merger method of accounting except for the subsidiaries of Top Glove Sdn. Bhd., which are accounted for under the acquisition method.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation (contd) (ii) Basis of Consolidation (contd) Acquisition of subsidiaries that meets the conditions of a merger are accounted for using the merger method. Under the merger method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries are presented as if the merger had been effected throughout the current and previous years. In the consolidated financial statements, the cost of the merger is cancelled with the nominal values of the shares received. Any resulting debit difference is adjusted against the consolidated capital and revenue reserves. Subsidiaries accounted for using the purchase method are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated nancial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Acquisitions of subsidiaries that do not meet the conditions of a merger are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in prot or loss. Minority interests represent the portion of prot or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group. It is measured at the minorities share of the fair value of the subsidiaries identiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date and the minorities share of changes in the subsidiaries equity since then. (b) Associates Associates are entities in which the Group has signicant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Signicant influence is the power to participate in the nancial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not in control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated nancial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment in associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Groups share of net assets of the associate. The Groups share of the net prot or loss of the associate is recognised in the consolidated prot or loss. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of such changes. In applying the equity method, unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the associate. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Groups net investment in the associate. The associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains signicant influence until the date the Group ceases to have signicant influence over the associate.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (b) Associates (contd) Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. Any excess of the Groups share of the net fair value of the associates identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Groups share of the associates prot or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. When the Groups share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Groups net investment in the associate, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. The most recent available audited nancial statements of the associates are used by the Group in applying the equity method. Where the dates of the audited financial statements used are not coterminous with those of the Group, the share of results is arrived at from the last audited nancial statements available and management nancial statements to the end of the accounting period. Uniform accounting policies are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. In the Companys separate nancial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in prot or loss. (c) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of business combination over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. (d) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benets associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the nancial period in which they are incurred. Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment except for freehold land are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Capital work-in-progress are also not depreciated as these assets are not available for use. Leasehold land is depreciated over the period of the respective leases which range from 50 to 99 years. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimate useful life at the following annual rates:

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each nancial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benets embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benets are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in prot or loss. (e) Impairment of Non-nancial Assets The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairment loss. For goodwill that have an indenite useful life the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date or more frequently when indicators of impairment are identied. For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Groups CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benet from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or CGUs fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specic to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated rst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis. An impairment loss is recognised in prot or loss in the period in which it arises. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in prot or loss.
59

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (f) Inventories Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the rst-in, rst-out method. The cost of raw materials comprises costs of purchase. The costs of nished goods and work-in-progress comprise costs of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate proportions of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. (g) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classied as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a nancial instrument classied as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of nancial instruments classied as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank, deposits at call and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignicant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. (ii) Other Non-Current Investments Non-current investments other than investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the prot or loss. (iii) Marketable Securities Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on aggregate basis. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis while market value is determined based on quoted market values. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of marketable securities are recognised in prot or loss. On disposal of marketable securities, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in prot or loss. (iv) Trade Receivables Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identied. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date. (v) Trade Payables Trade payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (g) Financial Instruments (contd) (vi) Interest Bearing Loans and Borrowings All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (vii) Equity Instruments Ordinary shares are classied as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. The consideration paid, including attributable transaction costs on repurchased ordinary shares of the Company that have not been cancelled, are classified as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the sale, re-issuance or cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sales consideration and the carrying amount is recognised in equity. (viii) Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative nancial statements are not recognised in the nancial statements. (h) Leases Assets acquired by way of hire purchase are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum hire purchase payments at the inception of the hire purchase, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum hire purchase payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to determine; otherwise, the Companys incremental borrowing rate is used. Hire purchase payments are apportioned between the nance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total hire purchase commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised as an expense in the income statement over the term of the relevant hire purchase so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for assets purchased under hire purchase is consistent with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment as described in Note 2(d). (i) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying ecomonic benets will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specic to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as nance costs.
61

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (j) Income Tax Income tax on the prot or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable prot for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the nancial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable prot will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting prot nor taxable prot. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in the prot or loss for the period, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or the amount of any excess of the acquirers interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination. (k) Employee Benets (i) Short term benets Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. (ii) Dened contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into seperate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufcient assets to pay all employee benets relating to employee services in the current and preceding nancial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the prot or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). Some of the Groups foreign subsidiaries make contributions to their respective countries statutory pension schemes. (iii) Equity compensation benets The Companys ESOS allows the Groups employees to acquire ordinary shares of the Company. The total fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve within equity over the vesting period and taking into account the probability that the options will vest.The fair value of share options is measured at grant date, taking into account, if any, the market vesting conditions upon which the options were granted but excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date.
62

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (k) Employee Benets (contd) (iii) Equity compensation benets (contd) At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable on vesting date. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the prot or loss, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period. The equity amounts is recognised in the share option reserve until the option is exercised, upon which it will be transferred to share premium, or until the option expires, upon which it will be transferred directly to retained earnings. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to equity when the options are exercised. (l) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benets associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. (i) Sale of goods Revenue is recognised net of sales taxes, discounts and returns upon the transfer of signicant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are signicant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs and the possible return of goods. (ii) Management fees Management fees are recognised when services are rendered. (iii) Interest income Interest is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. (iv) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the Groups right to receive payment is established. (m) Foreign Currencies (i) Functional and presentation currency The individual nancial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated nancial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Companys functional currency. (ii) Foreign currency transactions In preparing the nancial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entitys functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
63

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.2 Summary of Signicant Accounting Policies (contd) (m) Foreign Currencies (contd) (ii) Foreign currency transactions (contd) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are included in prot or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in either the functional currency of the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in prot or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Groups net investment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or the foreign operation, are recognised in prot or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Companys net investment in foreign operation, regardless of the currency of the monetary item, are recognised in profit or loss in the Companys nancial statements or the individual nancial statements of the foreign operation, as appropriate. Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in prot or loss for the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recognised directly in equity. (iii) Foreign operations The results and nancial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (RM) of the consolidated nancial statements are translated into RM as follows: Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate prevailing at the balance sheet date; Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the year, which approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions; and All resulting exchange differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve within equity.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of foreign operations on or after 1 January 2006 are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreign operations and translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Goodwill and fair value adjustments which arose on the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries before 1 January 2006 are deemed to be assets and liabilities of the parent company and are recorded in RM at the rates prevailing at the date of acquisition. (n) Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specic borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in prot or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.3 Changes in Accounting Policies and Effects Arising from Adoption of New and Revised FRSs The MASB has issued a number of new and revised FRS and Interpretations that are effective for nancial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006. Except for the changes in accounting policies and their effects as discussed below, the new and revised FRS and Interpretations above do not have any other signicant impact on the nancial statements of the Group and the Company: (a) FRS 2: Share-based Payment Prior to 1 September 2006, no compensation expense was recognised in prot or loss for share options granted. The Group and the Company recognised an increase in share capital and share premium when options were exercised. Upon the adoption of FRS 2, the total fair value of share options granted to employees is recognised as an employee cost with a corresponding increase in the share option reserve within equity over the vesting period. The effects on the balance sheets as at 31 August 2007 and income statements for the year ended 31 August 2007 are set out in Note 2.3(d)(i) and Note 2.3 (d)(ii) respectively. (b) FRS 3: Business Combinations, FRS 136: Impairment of Assets and FRS 138: Intangible Assets The new FRS 3 has resulted in consequential amendments to two other accounting standards, FRS 136 and FRS 138. In accordance with the transitional provisions, FRS 3 has been applied for business combinations for which the agreement date is on or after 1 September 2006. Excess of Groups interest in the net fair value of acquirees identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost (previously known as negative goodwill). Prior to 1 September 2006, negative goodwill was stated at cost, except to the extent it relates to identied expected future losses as at the date of acquisition. Under FRS 3, any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair value of acquirees identiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost of acquisitions, after reassessment, is now recognised immediately in prot or loss. Because the revised accounting policy has been applied prospectively, the change has had no impact on amounts reported for 2006 or prior periods. The effects on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 August 2007 and consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 August 2007 are set out in Note 2.3(d)(i) and Note 2.3(d)(ii) respectively. This change has no impact on the Companys nancial statements. (c) FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements Prior to 1 September 2006, minority interests at the balance sheet date were presented in the consolidated balance sheet separately from liabilities and equity. Upon the adoption of the revised FRS 101, minority interests are now presented within total equity. In the consolidated income statement, minority interests are presented as an allocation of the total prot or loss for the year. A similar requirement is also applicable to the statement of changes in equity. The revised FRS 101 also requires disclosure, on the face of the statement of changes in equity, total recognised income and expenses for the year, showing separately the amounts attributable to equity holders of the Company and to minority interests. Prior to 1 September 2006, the Groups share of taxation of associates accounted for using the equity method was included as part of the Groups income tax expense in the consolidated income statement. Upon the adoption of the revised FRS 101, the share of taxation of associates accounted for using the equity method are now included in the respective shares of prot or loss reported in the consolidated income statement before arriving at the Groups prot or loss before tax.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.3 Changes in Accounting Policies and Effects Arising from Adoption of New and Revised FRSs (contd) (c) FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements (contd) These changes in presentation have been applied retrospectively and as disclosed in Note 2.3(e), certain comparatives have been restated. The effects on the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 August 2007 are set out in Note 2.3(e). There were no effects on the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 August 2007 and the Companys nancial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (contd) 2.4 Standards and Interpretations Issued but Not Yet Effective (contd) The Group is exempted from disclosing the possible impact, if any, to the nancial statements upon the initial application of FRS 117, FRS 124 and FRS 139. Except for FRS 112, FRS 117, FRS 124 and FRS 139, the above FRS, amendments to FRS and Interpretations are expected to have no signicant impact on the nancial statements of the Group upon their initial application. Upon initial application of FRS 112, unused reinvestment allowance will be allowed to be recognised as deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable prot will be available against which the unused reinvestment allowance can be utilised. The effects on the balance sheet as at 31 August 2007 will be as follows: Effects on balance sheet as at 31 August 2007 Increase/(Decrease) FRS 112 RM000
Description of Change Group Deferred tax liabilities Retained earnings 2.5 Signicant Accounting Estimates and Judgements Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
(1,453) 1,453
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a signicant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next nancial year are discussed below. (i) Depreciation of plant and machinery The cost of plant and machinery for the manufacture of gloves is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these plant and machinery to be 10 years. These are common life expectancies applied in the industry. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. (ii) Impairment of goodwill The Group determines whether goodwill are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value-in-use of the cash-generating units (CGU) to which goodwill are allocated. Estimating a valuein-use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amounts of goodwill as at 31 August 2007 was RM21,078,000 (2006: RM21,078,000). Further details are disclosed in Note 15.

25. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (contd) Fair value of share options granted during the year The fair value of share options granted during the year was estimated by using a Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The fair value of share options measured at grant date and the assumptions are as follows: 2007 Fair value of share options at the following grant dates (RM) 5 September 2006 5 October 2006 5 November 2006 5 June 2007 Weighted average share price (RM) Weighted average exercise price (RM) Expected volatility (%) Expected life (years) Risk free rate (%) Expected dividend yield (%) 0.76 0.70 0.93 0.86 8.29 8.18 16.76 - 22.46 0.92 - 1.67 3.70 1.20
The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. No other features of the option were incorporated into the measurement of fair value. 26. DEFERRED TAXATION Group 2007 2006 RM000 RM000 At 1 September Recognised in the income statement (Note 8) At 31 August 29,538 1,271 30,809 22,405 7,133 29,538

27. RETAINED EARNINGS Presently, Malaysian companies adopt the full imputation system. In the Budget 2008, the Government announced the proposal to introduce the single tier tax system for companies effective from the year of assessment 2008. Under the proposed single tier system, the Company shall not be entitled to deduct tax on dividend paid, credited or distributed to its shareholders, and such dividends paid, credited or distributed by the Company will be exempted from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, there will be a transitional period of six years, expiring on 31 December 2013, to allow companies to pay franked dividends to their shareholders under limited circumstances. Companies also have an irrevocable option to disregard the 108 balance and opt to pay dividends under the single tier system. This proposed change in the tax law also provides for the 108 balance to be locked in as at 31 December 2007.

Save as disclosed below, the Group is not engaged in any litigation, either as plaintiff or defendant, which may have a material effect on the nancial position of the Group. (i) On 8 November 2000, Top Glove Sdn. Bhd. (TGSB), a subsidiary of the Company was served a writ of summons by Supermax Glove Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd. (SGM) claiming damages for alleged passing off by TGSB of certain coloured boxes bearing the device of a glove containing gloves manufactured by TGSB under the brand name Safemax as boxes containing gloves manufactured by SGM under the brand name Supermax. TGSBs appointed solicitors, have opined that SGMs case against the TGSB is weak and unlikely to succeed. TGSB, in relation to the suit above, has filed its defence and has also filed a counterclaim in the same suit against SGM seeking general damages for the abuse of process and/or unlawful interference with trade or business and/or the commission of deliberate and positive acts designed to injure the Company. The learned Judge was not in favour of xing trial dates until all pre-trial directions have been complied with including, inter alia, the ling of the relevant bundles of documents. The pre-trial case management was xed for 6 July 2004 for parties to le all relevant documents for purposes of trial. This date has been extended several times to 14 September 2007 for mention for pre-trial case management and pending a decision on an application for Further and Better Particulars on this suit by TGSB as set out below.

31. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (contd) The court had also xed 16 May 2005 for hearing of an application by TGSB for Further and Better Particulars on the above suit. This date was extended to 2 August 2005 and subsequently heard on 13 September 2005 and the said application was xed for decision on 11 October 2005. The matter however was not listed before the court on 11 October 2005 as the le could not be located. The le was subsequently located and on 22 February 2006 the court xed 31 March 2006 for a decision which was given on 3 April 2006. On that date, the court allowed TGSBs application for Further and Better Particulars on the above suit and SGM was given one month to comply with the said order dated 3 April 2006 which was xed to be heard on 6 September 2006 and extended to 13 March 2007. On 20 July 2007, the court allowed SGMs appeal and xed a nal case management on 14 September 2007. Pursuant to the said case management on 14 September 2007, the court has xed the matter for trial on 24 & 25 June 2008. (ii) TGSB had commenced legal proceedings against SGM, pursuant to a writ led at the Shah Alam High Court on 10 November 2004. TGSB among others is claiming for general, aggravated and exemplary damages for maliciously distributing and publishing defamatory words contained in documents relating to Summon No. 22-431-2000 led by SGM at the Shah Alam High Court. TGSB among others avers that SGM had, with mala de, distributed the said documents with intent to lower TGSBs reputation. SGM had also published defamatory words in its quaterly reports announced by its holding company, Supermax Corporation Berhad to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Bursa Securities) in the years 2000 and 2001. The commencement of these legal proceedings was announced to Bursa Securities on 20 December 2004. SGM has led a statement of defence on the above suit on 17 January 2005 and the TGSB has led the reply to defence on 14 February 2005. The court had xed 6 July 2005 for hearing of an application by TGSB to amend the Statement of Claim to include the Company as an additional plaintiff and Supermax Corporation Berhad as an additional defendant. The matter was heard on 28 September 2005 and a decision was to be given on 14 October 2005 but this was deferred to 18 November 2005 where the court allowed TGSBs application to amend the Statement of Claim and instructed SGM to le its amended Statement of Defence. SGM had led an application to strike out certain paragraphs of TGSBs Statement of Claim. This matter was also heard on 28 September 2005 and a decision was to be given on 14 October 2005 but this was also deferred to 18 November 2005 when the court dismissed SGMs application to strike out with costs to be paid by SGM. SGM led a notice of appeal against both decisions given by the Senior Assistant Registrar on 18 November 2005 above. Appeals against both these decisions were allowed and they were to be heard on 12 and 29 June 2006 and subsequently adjourned to 5 February 2008. SGM had also on 14 December 2005 led an application to stay the above proceedings until the disposal of SGMs appeal. This application was allowed on 7 March 2006. (iii) The Company has been named as one of 39 respondents in United States International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation, which Tillotson Corporation instituted on 30 May 2007, for alleged patent infringement of nitrile gloves. The outcome of the abovementioned investigation is not presently determinable. The ITC, however, cannot award monetary damages and the Companys appointed solicitors, have opined that the Company has meritorious defenses.

(b) Secondary reporting segment - Business segments As the Group is principally involved in gloves manufacturing industry, segment reporting by business segment is not prepared. 33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies The Groups nancial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate nancial resources are available for the development of the Groups businesses whilst managing its interest rate, foreign exchange, credit and liquidity risks.
97

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (contd) (b) Interest Rate Risk Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a nancial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a nancial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Groups primary interest rate risk relates to interestbearing debt. The investments in financial assets are mainly short term in nature and they are not held for speculative purposes but have been mostly placed in xed deposits and money market funds. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a prudent mix of xed and floating rate borrowings. The Group actively reviews its debt portfolio, taking into account the investment holding period and nature of its assets. This strategy allows it to capitalise on cheaper funding in a low interest rate environment and achieve a certain level of protection against rate hikes. The information on maturity dates and effective interest rates of nancial assets and liabilities are disclosed in their respective notes. (c) Foreign Exchange Risk The Group is exposed to various currencies especially in United States Dollars, Thailand Baht, Chinese Renminbi and Singapore Dollars. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together with expected cash flows from highly probable purchases and sales give rise to foreign exchange exposures. Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other than functional curencies of the operating entities are kept to an acceptable level. Material foreign currency transaction exposures are hedged, mainly with derivative nancial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts. The net unhedged nancial assets and nancial liabilities of the Group companies that are not denominated in their functional currencies are as follows: Functional Currency of Group Companies At 31 August 2007 Ringgit Malaysia Thailand Baht Chinese Renminbi Singapore Dollars 4,337 21 4,358 At 31 August 2006 Ringgit Malaysia Thailand Baht Chinese Renminbi (290) (290) (719) 17,270 (2,939) 13,612 (719) 16,980 (2,939) 13,322 42,035 21,400 (12,931) 50,504 (1,309) (1,309) 42,035 24,428 (12,931) 21 53,553 Net Financial Assets/(Liabilities) Held in Non-Functional Currency Ringgit United States Malaysia Dollars Euro Total RM000 RM000 RM000 RM000
98

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (contd) (c) Foreign Exchange Risk (contd) As at balance sheet date, the Group had entered into United States Dollars forward foreign exchange contracts with notional amount of RM181,432,500 (2006 : RM192,142,000) to hedge anticipated sales. The net unrecognised gains/(losses) as at balance sheet date on forward contracts used to hedge anticipated sales which are expected to occur during the next twelve months and are deferred until the related sales occur, at which time they will be included in the measurement of the sales is as follows: Group 2007 2006 RM000 RM000 Net unrealised gains/(losses) (d) Credit Risk Credit risks or the risk of customers defaulting are minimised and monitored via strictly limiting the Groups associations to business partners with high creditworthiness. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via Group management reporting procedures. The Group does not have any signicant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any nancial assets. (e) Liquidity The Group manages its debt maturity prole, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure that all repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the Group maintains sufcient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities of a reasonable level to its overall debt position. As far as possible, the Group raises committed funding from nancial institutions and prudently balances its portfolio with some short term funding so as to achieve overall cost effectiveness. (f) Fair Values The carrying amounts of nancial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the Company at the balance sheet date approximated their fair values except for the followings: Company Carrying Fair Amount Value RM000 RM000 4,235 (284)
Note Financial Assets At 31 August 2007 Due from a subsidiary Due from subsidiaries At 31 August 2006 Due from a subsidiary Due from subsidiaries 14 18 14 18
311,763 79,264 146,961 70,818
* * * *
* It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the amount due from subsidiaries due principally to a lack of xed repayment terms entered into by the parties involved and without incurring excessive costs.
