Statement of Corporate Governance
The Board of Directors of Tai Kwong Yokohama Berhad is committed to ensure that the principles of corporate governance
and best practices as set out in Part 1 and Part 2 respectively of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“Code”)
are observed and practiced throughout the Group.
A. DIRECTORS
• Board Composition and Balance
The current Board has seven (7) members, comprising one (1) Executive Directors and six (6) Non-Executive
Directors. Of the six (6) Non-Executive Directors, three (3) are independent, hence the Company is in
compliance with the prescribed requirements for at least two directors or one-third of the total number of
Directors, whichever is higher, are to be Independent Directors.
The Group has complied throughout the financial year with all the best practices of Corporate Governance set
out in Part 2 of the Code, except for Best Practise AAVII (Nomination of a Senior Independent Non-Executive
Director). Given the current composition of the Board which reflects a strong independent element and
the separation of the roles of Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer, the Board does not consider it
necessary at this juncture to nominate a Senior Independent Non-Executive Director.
The composition of the Board reflects a mix of members with international experience, and knowledge
in the areas of finance, business, general management and strategy that has been vital to the successful
direction of the Group. This balance has also enabled the Board to provide clear and effective leadership
to the Group and to bring informed and independent judgements to many aspects of the Group’s strategy
and performance so as to ensure that the Group is under the guidance of an accountable and competent
Board. None of the Non-Executive Directors participate in the day-to-day management of the Group.
The Independent Non-Executive Directors play a pivotal role in corporate accountability. They provide
unbiased and independent views, advice and judgements as well as safeguarding the interests, not only
of the Group, but also shareholders, employees and other communities in which the Group conducts its
business.
A brief description of the profile of each Director is contained on pages 19 to 22 of this Annual Report.
• Supply of information
The Board is provided with sufficient and timely information to enable it to discharge its duties effectively.
Senior Management is invited to attend the Board and Audit Committee meetings, as and when required
to provide further explanation and representation to the members of the Board and Audit Committee.
• Board Meetings
The Board had scheduled meetings at least four (4) times a year and additional Board meetings are convened
where necessary. During the financial year 2009, the Board has convened five (5) meetings. The details of
attendance of the Directors of the Company at Board meetings are as below: -

• Board Committees
The Audit committee consists of two (2) Independent and Non-Executive Directors. The Committee reviews
all published financial statements and post audit findings, focusing in particular on accounting policies,

management including internal audit function and financial reporting. Any significant findings or identified
weaknesses are closely examined so that appropriate action can be taken, monitored and reported to the
Board.
• Re-election of Directors
In accordance with Article 101 of the Company’s Articles of Association, all Directors shall retire from office
once at least three (3) years but shall be eligible for re-election at each Annual General Meeting (“AGM”).

(3), the number nearest to one-third (1/3) with minimum of one (1) shall retire from office.
Pursuant to Section 129(2) of the Companies Act, 1965, the office of a director over the age of seventy years

Directors who are appointed by the Board during the financial year are subject to re-election by the
shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting.
• Appointment
All appointments of Directors are recommended to the Board for approval. The Board periodically reviews

Directors to ensure the efficiency of the Board. The Board also assess issues such as international experience,
independence and skills relating of finance, legal and manufacturing issues.

b) Overseeing the conduct of the Group’s business;
c) Identifying risks and ensure implementation of plans to manage such risks;
d) Ensure human capital management include succession planning, training and compensation;
e) Ensure there is a shareholder communications policy;
f) Review and ensure internal control systems are in place for compliance with applicable laws, regulations
risk, directives and guidelines.

B. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION
The Remuneration and Nomination Committees were combined as a single committee on 14 October 2009 and
it meets as and when required and comprises the following members:
Goh Swee Heng - Chairman and Director

Dato’ Ir. Nik Mohammed Bin Nik Abdullah - Independent Non-Executive Director
Khoo Khay Chye - Independent Non-Executive Director
The Committee is responsible to recommend to the Board a remuneration framework for Directors and Senior
Management with the objective to ensure that the Company attracts and retains the Director needed to run
the Group successfully. It is the ultimate responsibility of the entire Board to approve the remuneration of the
Executive Directors and Senior Management with individual Directors abstaining from decision in respect of their
remuneration.
The Committee is also responsible for nominating and recommending to the Board, candidates to be appointed
as directors of the Company as well as Directors to fill seats on Board Committees, assessing, on an annual basis,
the effectiveness of the Board, Board Committees and the contribution of each director and annual review of the
required mix of skills, experience and qualities of which Non-Executive Directors should bring to the Board.
The Executive Directors play no part in deciding their own remuneration and the respective Board members shall
abstain from all discussion pertaining to their remuneration.
Details of the Directors’ remuneration are set out in the Audited Financial Statements on pages 53 to 54 of the
Annual Report.
C. SHAREHOLDERS AND INVESTORS
The Board is committed in providing accurate, useful and timely information about the Company, its business
and its activities. Realising the importance of timely and equal dissemination of material information, the annual
report and financial statements, to the shareholders, investors and the public at large, the Company maintains an
open communications policy with its shareholders, individuals or institutional members, and welcome feedback
from them.
The key element of the Company’s dialogue with its shareholders is the opportunity to gather views of and answer
questions from, both private and institutional shareholders on all issues relevant to the Company at the AGM. The
shareholders are encouraged to ask questions about the resolutions being proposed or about the Company’s
operations in general. All the Directors are available to provide responses to questions from the shareholders during
these meetings. The Board believes that clear and consistent communication with them encourages a better
appreciation of the Company’s activities, reduces share price volatility, and allows the Company’s business and
prospects to be evaluated properly. This also ensures a high level of accountability, transparency and identification
with the Group’s business operations, strategy and goals.

The Group also maintains a website at www.tkyoko.com whereby shareholders and the general public can have
access to obtain the latest information of the Group.

D. ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee assists the Board in scrutinising information for disclosure to ensure accuracy, adequacy and
completeness. The statement by Directors pursuant to Section 169 of Companies Act 1965 is set out on pages
28 of the Annual Report.
Financial Reporting
The Board always aims to provide a balanced and fair assessment of the Group’s financial performance and
prospects primarily through the annual report and quarterly financial statements to shareholders. Directors also
strive to ensure that financial reporting presents a fair and understandable assessment of the Company’s financial
position and results.
Internal Control
The Board has overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control, which comprises a process for
identifying, evaluating and managing the risks faced by the Group and for regularly reviewing its effectiveness
in accordance with the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance. Information on the Group’s Internal Control is
presented in the Statement of Internal Control laid out on pages 10 & 11.
Relationship with the Auditors
Key features underlying the relationship of the Audit Committee with external auditors are stated in the Report
on Audit Committee set out on pages 13 to 15. The Company has always maintained a close and transparent
relationship with its auditors in seeking professional advice and ensuring compliance with the accounting standards
in Malaysia
Whistle-Blowing Policy
The Group has during the financial year adopted a Whistle-Blowing Policy, as part of the commitment to upload
the highest standards, of ethics, integrity and accountability.
This Policy will enable employees and members of the Board to disclose internally any serious malpractice or
misconduct with fear or reprisal and also provide a Platform for them to channel their concerns about illegal,
unethical or improper business conduct affecting the Group

Statement of Internal Control
The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance stipulates that the Board of a listed company should maintain a sound
system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets. Paragraph 15.26(b) of the
Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad requires Directors to include a statement about the state of
internal control of the public listed company, as a group, in their Annual Reports. The intention is that companies should
have the discretion to explain the governance policies in the light of the principles, including any special circumstances,
which have led the company to adopting a particular approach.
BOARD RESPONSIBILITY
The Board has an overall responsibility in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s internal control systems and
management information systems, including systems for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives
and guidelines. Because of the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control, this system is designed
to manage rather that eliminate the risks that may impede the achievement of the Group’s objectives. Therefore, the
system of internal control can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or
loss to the company. As an integral part of the system of internal control, the Board confirms that there is an ongoing
process for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by the Group and is subject to regular
reviews by the Board.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board recognizes the importance of establishing a formal risk management framework in order to identify principal
risks and implement appropriate controls to manage such risks. A structured approach to formalize the processes by
which risks are identified, assessed and reviewed by Management, with the involvement of the Audit Committee and
the Board, was established during the year with the appointment of an independent professional firm to provide the
requisite assistance to the Board. The Group has in place internal control procedures with clear lines of accountability
and delegated authority through a series of standard operating procedures to monitor the significant risks affecting it.
INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION
The Group has an in-house internal audit function which is independent of the activities it audits. In addition, the
Company appointed an independent professional firm, namely KPMG Business Advisory Sdn Bhd, on a co-sourced basis,
to augment the internal audit resources of the Group in conducting internal audit, covering the key processes within
the Group. The internal audit was undertaken to assess the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal controls
therein. Internal audit reports that highlighted areas of control deficiency for improvements were tabled before the Audit
Committee for remedial measures to be taken by Management. Such matters were followed up by the internal audit
function to determine the status of implementation of remedial measures by Management.
On a quarterly basis, the Internal Audit Department submits the audit report and the audit plan to the Audit Committee
for review and approval.
10
Statement of Internal Control (cont’d)
OTHER KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL
Apart from risk management and internal audit, the Group also put in place the following elements as part of its internal
control system:
• An Organization Structure with formally defined lines of responsibilities, accountability and delegation of
authority;
• Financial Authority Limits were defined to ensure a clear line of responsibility for each level of Management;
• Regular Management Meetings involving the MD, COO and senior management were held to review performance
and to promptly address any operational issues that arose;
• BS EN MS ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System was in place to monitor and ensure the quality requirements
of the Group’s products and services to meet customers’ expectation;
• BS EN MS ISO 14001:2004 Environment Management System was in place for continual improvement in
Environmental Management which strictly prevented pollution from our activities, products and services and
ensure they were in compliance with environmental and legal requirements;
• Established System Of Operation and Financial Reporting to Management Committee, Audit Committee and
Board based on quarterly results and budgets;
• Regular Training and Awareness Programmes were conducted to emphasize the importance of corporate
governance, risk management and internal control; and
• Formal Employee Annual Appraisal System to evaluate and measure employee’s performance and their
competency.
CONCLUSION
The Board is of the opinion that the internal control systems are in place for the year under review and up to the date
of issuance of annual report and financial statements, based on the issues highlighted by the Management, Internal
and External Auditors.

Chairman’s Statement
Market Overview
In general, the recovery from the global economic slowdown has given rise to
a higher demand in the automotive battery replacement market for the year
under review. To get a better balance in domestic and export ratio, the Group
will be exploring new markets overseas, especially when tariff barriers are being
lowered in certain countries.
Performance Review
The Group achieved a record profit before tax of RM18.4 million, a substantial
increase over the preceding year’s RM2.2million. Revenue showed a reduced
level to RM183.3million (6% decrease against RM195.1million in the previous
year) due to a downtrend in lead prices, pushing down selling prices.
Despite a lower revenue, the Group recorded higher profit margins, as a result

Operations Review
K w o n g Yo k o h a m a
Berhad and its Learning from experience and growing based on knowledge, is the basic
philosophy of the TKY Group. The single largest non-controllable risk in our
subsidiary companies business is the sudden drop in the price of lead. This is the largest cost
for the financial year component of our batteries, and will impact us in drop of inventory value and
downward adjustment of sale prices. We plan to mitigate this by expanding the
ended 31 December capacity of our lead reclamation plant and also to introduce new equipment
2009. and methods of reclamation to further lower the cost of internally consumed
secondary lead.
Our newly established Electro-Chemistry Research Centre is also introducing

new alloys and paste formulae that may bring about lower cost of batteries
with higher quality. The introduction of our new Beta Series of MF batteries
with the new paste and alloy technology will spearhead our penetration into
local and export markets.
The usage of solar-powered battery plate curing ovens and introduction of deep
cycle batteries, confirms our determination towards having a share in the eco-
friendly and environmentally pie in this seemingly “dirty” industry.
The future looks bright, taking all into consideration and we look forward to
meeting the surge in demand for batteries in the hot zero emission mobility
market.

Chairman’s Statement (cont’d)
Prospects
The Group has continuously been taking proactive actions towards cost optimization and achieving economies of scale
and this has shown positive results in 2009 whereby the Group recorded a profit before tax of RM18.4million.
The latest changes in the shareholding in the Company by our major shareholder, HSG Investment Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary
of Hup Soon Global Corporation Limited (“HSGC”), a company listed in the Singapore Stock Exchange, has resulted in
the Company becoming a subsidiary of HSGC on 24 March 2010.
The Group is maintaining an optimistic outlook performance for the current year and will take the necessary measures
to meet any expected economic challenges.
Appreciation
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the management and staff for
their commitment and dedication. I also wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to our directors, Mr. Bong Boon Fah and
Mr Yeo Wee Thow who had resigned during the year for their past contributions to the Group.

Notes to the Financial Statements

31 December 2009
1. Corporate information
The Company is a public limited company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main
Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at Suite 13.02, 13th
Floor, Menara Tan & Tan, 207 Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 Kuala Lumpur. The principal place of business of the
Company is located at Lot 1238, Batu 23, Jalan Kachau, Semenyih - Sungai Lalang, 43500 Semenyih, Selangor
Darul Ehsan.
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are shown
in Note 15. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the year except
that certain subsidiaries have turned dormant as disclosed in Note 15.
Related companies are companies within the Tai Kwong Yokohama Berhad group and the companies ultimately
controlled by Hup Soon Global Corporation Limited (“HSGC”).
HSG Investments Pte Ltd (“HSGI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSGC, was a substantial corporate shareholder of
the Company. Both HSGI and HSGC are companies incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. HSGI is a private
limited company whilst HSGC is a public limited company listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading
Limited. On 24 March 2010, based on a take-over offer, HSGI received unconditional and valid acceptances to
acquire the shares of the Company resulting in HSGI holding more than 50% interest in the Company. Accordingly,
HSGI and HSGC became the immediate and ultimate holding companies of the Company. Further details of the
take-over offer are disclosed in Note 34(b).
Mr Chow Siew Hon was a substantial shareholder of the Company up to 26 March 2010. Accordingly, individuals
connected and/or related to Mr Chow Siew Hon are referred to as related parties.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of
the directors on 31 March 2010.
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 (“FRSs”) in Malaysia.
The financial statements of the Company have also been prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise
indicated. The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM).
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the financial and
operating policies so as to obtain benefits 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 Company’s separate financial 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 profit or loss.

2. Significant accounting policies (contd.)
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies (contd.)
(a) Subsidiaries and basis of consolidation (contd.)

(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 financial statements of the subsidiaries are
prepared for the same reporting date as the Company.
Subsidiaries 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 financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries 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 Group’s interest in the net fair value of the
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the
Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Minority interests represent the portion of profit 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’
identifiable 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 significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary
nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial 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 financial 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 Group’s share
of net assets of the associate. The Group’s share of the profit or loss of the associate is recognised
in the consolidated profit 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 Group’s 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
Group’s net investment in the associate. The associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group
obtains significant influence until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the
associate.
38


(b) Associates (contd.)
When the Group’s 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 Group’s net investment in the
associates, 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 financial 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 financial
statements available and management financial statements to the end of the accounting period.
Uniform accounting polices are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying
amounts is included in profit or loss.
(c) Property, plant and equipment, and depreciation
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included
in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is
probable that future economic benefits 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 financial 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 expenditure in
progress is stated at cost and is not depreciated as these assets are not available for use. 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 estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Buildings 2%
Building improvements 10% - 15%
Plant and machinery 10%
Moulds, tools and equipment 10% - 15%
Furniture, fittings and office equipment 10% - 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each 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 benefits 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
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if
any and the net carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
39
d) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital
appreciation or for both. Such properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment losses. The depreciation policy for investment properties is in
accordance with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment as described in Note 2.2(c) and
the following annual rate apply:

Buildings 2%

Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the
investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected
from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are
recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
(e) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current asset
classified as held for sale, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated to
determine the amount of impairment loss.
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.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s 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 specific to the asset.
An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The costs of raw materials, machinery parts
and tools comprise costs of purchase. The costs of finished goods and work-in-progress comprise
costs of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate proportions of production
overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The difference
between the cost of inventory and its net realisable value is recognised in the profit or loss as write-
down of inventories.
40


(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 classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends and gains and losses relating to a financial instrument
classified as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial
instruments classified as equity are recognised directly to 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 statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand
and at bank and deposits at call which have an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of
outstanding bank overdrafts.
(ii) Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified.
An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at
the balance sheet date.
(iii) Payables
Payables are stated at the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods
and services received.
(iv) 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.
All borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period in
which they are incurred.

(v) Equity instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividend on ordinary shares are recognised in equity
in the period in which they are declared.
(vi) Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are not recognised in the financial statements.

41
(h) Leases

(i) Classification
A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or
finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements
of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purpose of lease classification.
All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operating
leases.
(ii) Finance leases - the Group as lessee
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 lease payments at the inception of the leases,
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 lease
payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable
to determine, otherwise, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct
cost are also added to carrying amount of such assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the
outstanding liability. Finance cost, which represent the difference between the total leasing
commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in the profit or loss
over the term of the relevant lease 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 leased assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property,
plant and equipment as described in Note 2.2(c).
(iii) Operating leases - the Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term
of the relevant lease. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised
as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments or the up-front
payments made are allocated, whenever necessary, between the land and the buildings
elements in proportion to the relative fair values for leasehold interests in the land element and
buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payment represents
prepaid land lease payments and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leasehold land with lease term of less than 60 years are classified as short term whereas
leasehold land with lease term more than 60 years are classified as long term.
(iv) Operating leases - the Group as lessor

Assets leased out under operating leases are presented on the balance sheets according to the
nature of the assets. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the term of the relevant lease (Note 2.2(m)(ii)). Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating
and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

42

(i) Income tax
Income tax on the profit 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 profit 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. 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
profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and
unused tax credits can be utilised.
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 expense and included in the profit
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.
(j) 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 economic benefits 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 specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision
due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost.
(k) Employee benefits
(i) Short term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the
year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. 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) Defined contribution plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays
fixed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive
obligation to pay further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay
all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial
years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As
required by law, companies in Malaysia make such contributions to the Employees Provident
Fund (“EPF”).

43
(l) Foreign currency transactions
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than
the entity’s 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.
Non-monetary 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.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary
items, are included in profit or loss for the period.

The principal exchange rates used for every unit of foreign currency ruling at the balance sheet date
used are as follows:

2009 2008
RM RM

1 United States Dollar 3.42 3.46
1 Euro 4.92 4.88
1 Singapore Dollar 2.44 2.41
1 Sterling Pound 5.50 5.00
1 Japanese Yen 0.04 0.04

(m) Revenue and income recognition
Revenue and income are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will
flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition
criteria must also be met before revenue and income are recognised:
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue relating to sale of goods is recognised net of sales taxes and discounts upon the
transfer of risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the
extent where there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due,
associated costs or the possible return of goods.
(ii) Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The aggregate
cost of incentives provided to lessee is recognised as a reduction of rental income over the
lease term on a straight-line basis.

44

(m) Revenue and income recognition (contd.)
(iii) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

(iv) Interest income
Interest income is recognsied on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
(v) Share of distribution profits
Share of distribution profits relates to the Group’s right of share of income in accordance with
the terms of distribution agreement with its distributor. Share of profits is accrued as income
by reference to the financial information provided by the distributor. The Group has appointed
an independent party to perform procedures on the financial information reported by its
distributor.
(n) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the
grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Grants that compensate
the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the
grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Grants that compensate
the Group for the cost of an asset are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and released
to the income statement by way of a reduced depreciation charge.
(o) Non-current asset classified as held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only
when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition
subject only to terms that are usual and customary.

Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current asset is brought
up-to-date in accordance with applicable FRSs. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-
current assets are measured in accordance with FRS 5 that is at the lower of carrying amount and
fair value less costs to sell. Any differences are included in profit or loss.

45

47
The Group and the Company plan to adopt the above pronouncements when they become effective in
the respective financial period. Unless otherwise described below, these pronouncements are expected
to have no significant impact to the financial statements of the Group and the Company upon their initial
application:
FRS 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (amended)
FRS 127 (amended) requires that a change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary (without loss of
control) is accounted for as a transaction with owners in their capacity as owners and to be recorded in
equity. Therefore, such transaction will no longer give rise to goodwill, nor will it give rise to a gain or loss.
Furthermore, the amended Standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well
as loss of control of a subsidiary. The changes by FRS 127 (amended) will be applied prospectively and only
affect future acquisition or loss of control of subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests.
FRS 8: Operating Segment
FRS 8 replaces FRS 1142004: Segment Reporting and requires a ‘management approach’, under which
segment information is presented on a similar basis to that used for internal reporting purposes. As a result,
the Group’s external segmental reporting will be based on the internal reporting to the chief executive
officer, who makes decisions on the allocation of resources and assesses the performance of the reportable
segments. As this is a disclosure standard, there will be no impact on the financial position or results of the
Group.
FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements (revised)
The revised FRS 101 separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. Therefore, the consolidated
statement of changes in equity will now include only details of transactions with owners. All non-owner
changes in equity are presented as a single line labelled as total comprehensive income. The Standard also
introduces the statement of comprehensive income: presenting all items of income and expense recognised
in the income statement, together with all other items of recognised income and expense, either in one
single statement, or in two linked statements. The Group is currently evaluating the format to adopt. In
addition, a statement of financial position is required at the beginning of the earliest comparative period
following a change in accounting policy, the correction of an error or the reclassification of items in the
financial statements. This revised FRS does not have any impact on the financial position and results of the
Group and the Company.
FRS 123: Borrowing Costs
This Standard supersedes FRS 1232004: Borrowing Costs that removes the option of expensing borrowing
costs and requires capitalisation of such costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction
or production of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as
an expense. The Group’s current accounting policy is to expense the borrowing costs in the period which
they are incurred. In accordance with the transitional provisions of the Standard, the Group will apply the
change in accounting policy prospectively for which the commencement date for capitalisation of borrowing
cost on qualifying assets is on or after the financial period 1 January 2010.

FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, FRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures
and Amendments to FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, FRS 7: Financial
Instruments: Disclosures
The new Standard on FRS 139: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement establishes principles
for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy and sell non-
financial items. Requirements for presenting information about financial instruments are in FRS 132: Financial
Instruments: Presentation and the requirements for disclosing information about financial instruments are
in FRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
FRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures is a new Standard that requires new disclosures in relation to
financial instruments. The Standard is considered to result in increased disclosures, both quantitative and
qualitative of the Group’s exposure to risks, enhanced disclosure regarding components of the Group’s
financial position and performance, and possible changes to the way of presenting certain items in the

In accordance with the respective transitional provisions, the Group and the Company are exempted from
disclosing the possible impact to the financial statements upon the initial application.
Amendments to FRSs ‘Improvements to FRSs (2009)’
The Improvements to FRSs (2009) contain amendments to several FRSs, which the following amendments
may have an impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company:
- FRS 117 Leases: Clarifies on the classification of leases of land and buildings. The Group is still
assessing the potential implication as a result of the reclassification of its unexpired land leases as
operating or finance leases. For those land element held under operating leases that are required
to be reclassified as finance leases, the Group shall recognise a corresponding asset and liability in
the financial statements which will be applied retrospectively upon initial application. However, in
accordance with the transitional provision, the Group is permitted to reassess lease classification on
the basis of the facts and circumstances existing on the date it adopts the amendments; and recognise
the asset and liability related to a land lease newly classified as a finance lease at their fair values on
that date; any difference between those fair values is recognised in retained earnings. The Group is
currently in the process of assessing the impact of this amendment.
- FRS 140 Investment Property: Property under construction or development for future use as an
investment property is classified as investment property. Where the fair value model is applied, such
property is measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably determined, the investment under
construction will be measured at cost until such time as fair value can be determined or construction is
complete. The Group has previously accounted for such assets using the cost model. The amendment
also includes changes in terminology in the Standard to be consistent with FRS 108. The change will
be applied prospectively.
- FRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: Clarifies that the disclosures
required in respect of non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale or discontinued
operations are only those described by the Standard. The disclosures requirements from other FRSs
only apply if specifically required for such non-current assets held for sale and disposal group or
discontinued operations.

2.4 Significant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with FRSs requires the use of certain accounting
estimates and exercise of judgements. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based
on past experiences, reasonable expectations of future events and other factors.
(a) Judgements
There were no significant judgements made in applying the accounting policies of the Group which
may have significant effects of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
(b) Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the
balance sheet date, that have a significant potential risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are discussed below:
(i) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unabsorbed capital allowances, unused tax losses and
utilised reinvestment allowance to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the tax losses and allowances can be utilised. Significant management
judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised,
based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits. The carrying amount of deferred
tax assets of the Group as at 31 December 2009 was RM1,037,223 (2008: RM2,636,741).
Further details are disclosed in Note 18.

(ii) Carrying amounts of inventories
Due to the fluctuation of lead prices in recent years as traded in the London Metal Exchange,
the carrying amounts of inventories are exposed to risk of fluctuation in prices. The management
has carried out a review of all components in inventories at balance sheet date and has
recognised inventories write down of RM230,739 (2008: RM1,626,462) in the current year.
The review requires the Group to estimate the net realisable values of its inventories where
selling prices are based on latest approved prices by the management, net of estimated costs
to completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The carrying amount of inventories of
the Group as at 31 December 2009 was RM59,337,708 (2008: RM36,295,632).

Domestic income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 25% (2008: 26%) of the estimated assessable
profit for the year. In prior years, subsidiaries which are Malaysian resident companies with paid-up share capital
of less than RM2.5 million applied the preferential tax rate of 20% on the first RM500,000 and the statutory tax
rate on the excess of RM500,000 of chargeable income pursuant to Paragraph 2A, Schedule 1 of the Income
Tax Act, 1967. Paragraph 2B, Schedule 1 was introduced with effect from Year of Assessment 2009 changing
the definition of companies qualifying for the preferential tax rate which rendered the chargeable income of the
subsidiaries to be taxed at the statutory tax rate.
A reconciliation of income tax expense applicable to profit before tax at the statutory income tax rate to income
tax expense at the effective income tax rate of the Group and of the Company is as follows:

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividend as declared from time to time and are entitled to

residual assets.
24. Retained earnings
Prior to the year of assessment 2008, Malaysian companies adopted the full imputation system. In accordance with
the Finance Act 2007 which was gazetted on 28 December 2007, companies shall not be entitled to deduct tax
on dividend paid, credited or distributed to its shareholders, and such dividends will be exempted from tax in the
hands of the shareholders (“single tier system”). However, there is 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. The change in the tax legislation also provides for the 108 balance to be locked-in as at 31
December 2007 in accordance with Section 39 of the Finance Act 2007.
The Company did not elect for the irrevocable option to disregard the 108 balance. Accordingly, during the
transitional period, the Company may utilise the available credit in the 108 balance to distribute cash dividend
payments to ordinary shareholders as defined under the Finance Act 2007. As at 31 December 2009 and 2008, the
Company has sufficient credit in the 108 balance to pay franked dividends out of its entire retained earnings.

respectively (Note 9).
32. Financial instruments
(a) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available
for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its interest rate risks (both fair value and cash
flow), foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks and they are summarised below. It is, and has been throughout the year under review,
the Group’s policy that no trading in derivative financial instruments shall be undertaken.
(b) Interest rate risk
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate
because of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial
instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group has no significant interest-
bearing financial assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of
changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest-bearing financial assets are mainly short term in nature
and have been mostly placed in fixed deposits.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk whereas borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to
fair value interest rate risk. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and
floating rate borrowings.
At balance sheet date, all borrowings of the Group other than hire purchase and finance lease liabilities are
based on floating-rate. The weighted average effective interest rates as at the balance sheet date and the
remaining maturities of the Group’s financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk have been
disclosed in the respective notes.

(c) Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to transactional currency risk primarily through sales and purchases that are
denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The
currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollars, Singapore Dollars, Euro, Sterling Pound
and Japanese Yen. Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other than functional currencies
of the operating entities are kept to an acceptable level. The Group does not hedge these exposures.
However, the Board keeps this policy under review.

78

32. Financial instruments (contd.)
(c) Foreign currency risk (contd.)

The net unhedged financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group that are not denominated in their
functional currencies are as follows:

2009 2008

Trade receivables:
United States Dollar 538,294 –
Singapore Dollar 260,368 185,271

Japanese Yen (35,043) –

(38,005) (846,161)

771,084 (647,980)

(d) Liquidity risk
The Group manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to
ensure that refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall liquidity management,
the Group maintains sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital
requirements. In addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities at a reasonable level to
its overall debt position. As far as possible, the Group raises committed funding from both capital markets
and financial institutions and balances its portfolio with some short term funding so as to achieve overall
cost effectiveness.
(e) Credit risk
Credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and
monitoring procedures. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group’s exposure
to bad debts is not significant. For export transactions, the Group requires payment in advance.
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents and other
receivables arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount
of these financial assets.
As at balance sheet date, the Group has significant exposure on credit risks to related companies. These
related companies balances have been received subsequent to year end.
79
32. Financial instruments (contd.)
(f) Fair value
It is not practical to determine the fair values of balances with all related parties due principally to a lack of
fixed repayment term entered into by the parties involved and without incurring excessive costs. However,
the directors do not anticipate the carrying amounts recorded at the balance sheet date to be significantly
different from the values that would eventually be received or settled.
The carrying amounts of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values except as indicated
in their respective notes.
33. Segment information
(a) Reporting format
The primary segment reporting format is determined to be business segments as the Group’s risks and
rates of return are affected predominantly by differences in the products and services produced. Secondary
information is reported geographically. The operating businesses are organised and managed separately
according to the nature of the products and services provided, with each segment representing a strategic
business unit that offers different products and serves different markets.
(b) Business segment
The Group comprises the following main business segments:
(i) Batteries- manufacturing, reclamation, retailing and marketing of batteries
(ii) Others- investment holding, transportation services and dormant companies
(c) Geographical segments
The Group’s geographical segments are based on the location of the Group’s assets. Sales to external
customers disclosed in geographical segments are based on the geographical location of its customers.
(d) Allocation basis and transfer pricing
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that
can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets, liabilities and
expenses.

6. Explanatory Notes on Special Business
Ordinary Resolution 8 – Authority to Directors to Issue Shares
The proposed ordinary resolution 8, if passed, will give powers to the Directors to issue up to a maximum of
10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being for such purposes as the Directors consider
would be in the interests of the Company. The authority will, unless revoked or varied by the Company in a
General Meeting, expire at the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting or the expiration of the period
within which the next Annual General Meeting is required by law to be held, whichever is earlier.
The Company wishes to renew the mandate on the authority to issue shares in general pursuant to the Section
132D of the Companies Act, 1965 at the 15th Annual General Meeting (hereinafter referred to as the “General
Mandate”). The previous mandate granted by the shareholders had not been utilised and hence no proceeds
was raised therefrom.
The purpose to seek the General Mandate is to enable the Directors to issue and allot shares at any time for
possible fund raising activities, including but not limited to private placement to such persons in their absolute
discretion so as to avoid delay and cost of convening further general meeting to approve the issuance of such
shares, for purpose of funding future investment project(s), working capital and/or acquisitions.
Ordinary Resolution 9 – Proposed Renewal of Shareholders’ Mandate and Additional Mandate for Recurrent
Related Party Transactions.
This resolution if passed, will enable the Company and its subsidiary companies to enter into recurrent transactions
involving the interests of related parties, which are of revenue or trading nature and necessary for the Tai Kwong
Group’s day-to-day operations, subject to the transactions being carried out in the ordinary course of business
