Advance Information Marketing Berhad • Annual Report 2006 7

With the Malaysian economy growing at 5.8% in �006 (Gross Domestic Product “GDP”), AIM Group enjoyed a relatively good year. I believe it will continue as the economic outlook in �007 remains positive and vibrant forecasting to grow with a GDP of 6.4%, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Against this promising macro-economic indicator, however, is an increasingly competitive and challenging business environment due to globalization, advancement of Information Technology and capable human capital that is scarce these days.

On behalf of the Board, please let me take you through AIM’s performance for the financial year ended 31st December �006 and the key direction that the Group is taking to grow further.

FINANCIAL AND BuSINESS REVIEWThe year �006 has been a significant milestone for the Group as reflected in the financial performance for the year. We are delighted to announce that the Group recorded an audited net profit after tax of RM9.0 million (�005: RM7.6 million) over a revenue of RM43.� million (�005: RM36.7 million), in spite of rising costs and competition.

The total shareholder’s equity has grown from RM�1.4 million in FYE�005 to RM40.4 million in FYE�006 with the injection of listing funds raised and accumulated retained earnings. As at 31st December �006, the Group maintained a healthy cash reserve of RM�6.4 million with a borrowing of less than RM1.7 million and after paying out RM�.3million in tax-exempt interim dividend (15%). With this cash reserve, the Group is now poised to leverage on the growth opportunities, both locally and regionally.

Our effort to deepen and widen the services provided to existing clientele has paid off with the engagement of more loyalty marketing activities and the launching of various loyalty programs for different target segment and business units. We have also widened our client base and broadened our services to include those in the IT sector, oil and gas industries, health and beauty sector and fast-moving consumer group (“FMCG”) retailer market.

On the technology front, Information Technology remains the key driver and backbone of the Group’s total integrated services offering. One of the major R&D developments achievement in FY�006 is the successful launch of AIMS™ Thor Transactor™ Application in collaboration with, Transactor Technologies Limited of New Zealand. The new application is designed to perform electronic payment processing and settlement for stored value payment mechanism such as gift vouchers, gift cards and prepaid cards which does not require a direct (online) interface with a traditional banking system. The Group believes that this new application will offer additional revenue model due to the enormous benefits and convenience offered to the retailers, encourage customer frequency and spending through promotional campaigns.

Operationally we saw our processes being streamlined with increased efficiency and capability with the ISO 9001:�000 certification on our warehouse and fulfillment processes, the centralization of many business units into one office at Plaza Sentral, the expansion of the integrated contact centre from 40 to 1�0 seats and the annual audit on our data security system based on the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. PCI-DSS is an industrial standard established and recognized by Visa, Master, and American Express.

CEO Message (cont’d)

Thanks to our regional partnership with COLLOQUY, our plans to expand out network and strengthen our foothold in the flourishing Asia Pacific markets came to fruition in April �007 with the set up of another wholly-owned subsidiary in Indonesia, PT. CLS System and hosted the first ever Loyalty Marketing Summit in Indonesia that is well attended by industry practitioners. The Indonesian subsidiary focuses on strategic consultancy, IT technology and infrastructure, rewards merchandise and fulfillment to the local banks and we believe it will contribute significantly to the Group’s financial performance for many years to come.

The Board is also proud to note that we are the recipient of the SMB Achievers’ Award �006 by the SMI (Small Medium Industries) Association of Malaysia. The award is bestowed on Small Medium Businesses which were formerly family owned or small one/two man operations and have successfully made the transition from privately owned companies into the public-listed companies.

These are just some of the significant indicators that we are progressing and venturing into bigger challenges and establishing ourselves as the regional leader in the industry.

FoR A BETTER AND MoRE EXCITING TIMES AHEADIn many ways, we see the Group to be standing at the forefront of opportunity due to the solid foundation that we have today.

The management sees tremendous prospects arise from the increased popularity of stored value and gift cards in loyalty applications and emerging technology for greater convenience such as the trend of combining the payment and the loyalty card into one for convenience. Some of the innovative means include mobile phone-based barcode, debit cards, ID cards (such as MyKAD) as loyalty program identifiers.

The surge in loyalty coalitions and networks has also become increasingly popular as they offer a huge range of marketing advantages (e.g. shared marketing, lower costs, cross-partner customer acquisition). It is also because participating partners within the network are able to provide consumers with loyalty benefits or rewards at a greater variety of outlets and merchant locations. Such loyalty programs are also gaining popularity within business-to-business dealings.

Additionally, the rapidly developing economies of Asia Pacific countries particularly in China, India and Indonesia are expected to contribute to the region’s strong demand for loyalty program as loyalty program remains one of the strategic tools employed by many organizations in order to influence the spending patterns of their customers through a variety of reward schemes. The enormous populations of these markets also give unlimited opportunities for the Group to realize its regionalization plan as we leverage on the solid financial performance, human capital and track record that we have built in the past few years. Merger and acquisition will be one of the strategies to ensure we continue to grow in the years to come.

SMB Achievers’ Award ISO 9001 : �000

CEO Message (cont’d)

Not only the above trends will intensify and encourage more companies to outsource their loyalty program to the company, it is an endorsement for the overall plan to strengthen the Enterprise Application software, AIMS with the continuous research and development particularly in the area of grid computing, mobile technology development and payment technology. The company foresees that their clientele will continuously expand to a wider base namely in the telecommunications and transportation (including airlines and motor vehicles dealerships) sectors.

As we move on working towards our goals, we always believe in continuously generate new thrust, new ideas, explore new partnership and new additional business models that were not possible before. This is because by doing so, we will be ahead of competition and take the lead in the ever-changing landscape in loyalty management and yet not losing sight on our core expertise.

IN APPRECIATIoNNothing is more valuable for an organization than a committed group of employees who work diligently together as a team for common organizational goals. The Board is particularly proud to witness the spirit of teamwork in the past 1 year and see some of the career grooming initiatives starting to pay off. The Group will continue to encourage the employees to take on bigger responsibilities and portfolios especially on overseas assignments, and upgrade their skill set from time to time.

As such, in conclusion, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our management, staff, business partners, and also our Board of Directors guidance. Most importantly, to all our customers for their continual support.

Yours Sincerely,

Nyang Koon SengChief Executive Officer

The Group has in place an ongoing process for identifying, evaluating, monitoring and managing significant risks faced by the Group in order to attain a reasonable assurance that its business objectives are met. These controls are regularly reviewed by the Board and subject to continuous improvements.

C. RISK MANAGEMENT The process of identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks faced by the Group is practiced continuously. These

processes are managed under the leadership of the directors. Meetings are held regularly to review changes in the business environment and its’ potential significant impact on the Group’s mid to long term business objectives. Business strategies are reviewed and refined at the same time to ensure that operations are in accordance with the corporate expectation.

D. INTERNAL CoNTRoL FRAMEWoRK Presently the Group does not maintain an internal audit department. The Board believes that the same objective can be

achieved as it has established an organization with clearly defined lines of accountability and delegated authority and the current control mechanisms are sufficient for the size of the Group.

The other key elements of the Group’s internal control systems are described below:

• Regular monitoring of operational results against budgeted for the Board’s review and discussion;• Regular and comprehensive information provided to the Board, covering financial performance and key business

indicators;• Regular updates of internal policies and procedures, to reflect changing risks or resolve operational deficiencies; and• Regular meetings with management to address weaknesses and improve efficiency.

The Board is of the view that there has been no weaknesses in the system of internal control of the Group that may have a material impact on the operations of the Group for the financial year ended 31st December �006.

Notes to the Financial Statements - 31st December 2006 (cont’d)

3. GENERAL INFoRMATIoN The financial statements of the Group and the Company were authorized for issue on �3rd April, �007 by the Board of

Directors.

The Company is a public limited company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia.

The address of the Company’s registered office is 5�, 1st Floor, Jalan SS �1/58, Damansara Utama, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

The principal place of business of the Company is located at Suite �A-16-�, Block �, Level 16, Plaza Sentral, Jalan Stesen Sentral 5, Kuala Lumpur Sentral, 50470 Kuala Lumpur.

4. FuNCTIoNAL AND PRESENTATIoN CuRRENCY Transactions and balances included in the financial statements of the Company and each of its subsidiary companies are

measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements of the Group and the Company are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

5. CRITICAL ACCouNTING ESTIMATES AND juDGEMENTS The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect

the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liablities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The critical assumptions concerning the future that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below:-

Deferred tax liabilities No deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities

and their carrying amounts in the financial statements because the Company was granted MSC status under the Promotion of Investments Act, 1986 whereby 100% of its statutory income is exempted from tax until �9th September, �009.

The Company estimated that any tax charge arising from temporary differences between the tax bases and the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities would be recognized upon expiry of the Pioneer Status tax exemption.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT PoLICIES The Group’s financial risk management policies seek to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the

development of the Group’s business whilst managing its foreign currency, interest rate, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks.

(a) Foreign Currency Risk The Group is exposed to currency risks as a result of the foreign currency transactions entered into in currencies other

than its functional currencies. Currently, the Group does not enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge its foreign exchange risk as the amount of foreign currency transactions is not significant. However, the Group reviews its foreign currency exposure periodically to ensure that its net exposure is managed at an acceptable level.

(b) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate exposure arises from the Group’s borrowings and deposits, and is managed through the use of fixed and

floating rate debts.

Notes to the Financial Statements - 31st December 2006 (cont’d)

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT PoLICIES (CoNT’D)

(c) Credit Risk The Group’s exposure to credit risk, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, arises mainly from its receivables. The

maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the total carrying amounts of these financial assets in the balance sheet reduced by the effects of any netting arrangements with counterparties.

The Group’s major concentration of credit risk is in respect of trade balances due from a third party and a related party totalling RM4,807,960 (�005: RM5,873,�9�). The third party is a major customer who contributed approximately 1�.3% (�004: 13.4%) of a subsidiary’s operating revenue for the year. The exposure arising from the amount owing by a related party of RM3,�3�,31� (�005: RM3,537,143) is reduced by an amount of RM�73,�14 (�005: RM1,853,0�3) due to the same related party and trade deposits of RM Nil (�005: RM1,000,000) received from the same related party as at the balance sheet date. The Group manages its exposure to credit risk by the application of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures on an ongoing basis.

(d) Liquidity and Cashflow Risks The Group’s exposure to liquidity and cashflow risks arises mainly from general funding and business activities. It

practices prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash balances to support its daily operations.

7. SIGNIFICANT ACCouNTING PoLICIES

(a) Basis of Consolidation The income statement and balance sheet of the Group include the audited financial statements of the Company and

its subsidiary companies, as listed in Note 9 to the financial statements, made up to 31st December �006.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiaries’ identifiable net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the Group’s financial statements. Minority interest is measured at the minorities’ share of fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree. All intragroup transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

(b) Goodwill and Negative Goodwill The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the fair values of the subsidiaries’ identifiable net assets

at the date of acquisition is reflected as goodwill arising on consolidation in the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is stated net of negative goodwill. The carrying value of goodwill is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is written down for impairment, where necessary.

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Group’s share of the fair values of the subsidiaries’ identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition over the cost of acquisition and is taken to the consolidated income statement immediately on consolidation after set-off against goodwill in the consolidated balance sheet.

(c) Investment in Subsidiary Companies A subsidiary company is an enterprise in which the Company has power to exercise control over the financial and

operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Investment in subsidiary companies are stated at cost in the Company’s financial statements and are subject to review for impairment at each balance sheet date.

7. SIGNIFICANT ACCouNTING PoLICIES (CoNT’D)

(d) Financial Instruments A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability

or equity instrument of another enterprise.

A financial asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, a contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable, or an equity instrument of another enterprise.

A financial instrument issued by the Group is classified as a liability or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability are reported as expenses or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity.

Financial instruments are offset when the Group and the Company have a legally enforceable right to set off and intend to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The accounting policy statement associated with each significant financial asset and liability are disclosed in the respective accounting policy notes.

(e) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and

impairment losses, if any. Freehold land is stated at cost less any impairment losses and is not depreciated.

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis to write off the depreciable amount of the assets over their estimated useful lives. Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value.

The principal annual rates used for this purpose are:-

Warehouse 3%Furnitures and fittings 10%Renovation 10% - �0%Plant and machinery �0%Computer hardware and software �0% - 33 1/3%Office equipment �0% - 33 1/3%

The residual value and the useful life of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the residual value and/or the useful life of the asset differ from the previous estimates, the revised depreciation charge will be adjusted immediately in the income statement in the year of the change.

(f) Impairment of Assets The carrying amounts of assets, other than those to which FRS 136 - Impairment of Assets does not apply, are reviewed

at each balance sheet date for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of net realizable value and value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or the relevant cash generating units.

An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately.

In respect of assets other than goodwill, and when there is a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of an asset is treated as a reversal of the previous impairment loss and is recognized to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortization and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised. The reversal is recognized in the income statement immediately.

7. SIGNIFICANT ACCouNTING PoLICIES (CoNT’D)

(g) Assets acquired under hire purchase financing Assets acquired under hire purchase financing are included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over

their useful lives. Outstanding obligations, after deducting attributable finance expenses, are included as liabilities in the financial statements. Finance expenses are charged to the income statement on a reducing balance basis over the period of financing.

(h) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value after making adequate allowance for deteriorated,

damaged, obsolete or slow-moving items. Cost includes the actual cost of purchase and incidental expenses incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is determined on the folowing bases:-

Customers Loyalty Solutions Sdn. Bhd. - “first-in, first-out” basisAdvanced Supply Chain Solutions Sdn. Bhd. - “first-in, first-out” basisBounty Trading Pte. Ltd. - weighted average basis

(i) Receivables Receivables are carried at invoiced amount less an estimate made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding

amounts at the balance sheet date. Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified.

(j) Payables Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services

received.

(k) Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, when

it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation,and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

(l) Equity Instruments Ordinary shares and preference shares are classified as equity. Dividends on share capital are recognized as liabilities

when declared before the balance sheet date. A dividend proposed or declared after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are authorized for issue, is not recognized as a liability at the balance sheet date. Upon the approval of the proposed dividend, it will be accounted for as a liability.

(m) Preliminary Expenses Preliminary expenses are written off in the income statement when incurred.

(n) Research and Development Costs Research expenditure is recognized as an expense when incurred. Costs incurred on development project (relating to

the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are fulfilled:

(a) it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;(b) management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;(c) there is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset;(d) it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;(e) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible

asset are avaliable; and(f ) the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.

Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense when incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalized development cost are recorded as intangible assets and amortized from the point at which the asset is ready for used on a straight-line basis over its useful life of five years.

Development assets are tested for impairment annually, in accordance with FRS 136.

(o) Taxation Taxation for the financial period comprises current and deferred tax.

Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the period and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is provided for in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences other than those that arise 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 profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets are recognized 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 utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognized in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognized directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to 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 negative goodwill. The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized.

(p) Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash represents cash in hand and bank balances. Cash equivalents comprise demand deposits, bank overdrafts, short

term deposits, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(q) Foreign Currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the approximate rates of exchange ruling at

the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling as of that date. All exchange gains and losses are taken to the income statement.

For the purpose of consolidation, the financial statements of the subsidiary incorporated in Singapore are translated into Ringgit Malaysia as follows:-

Share capital - at historical rates (ruling at transaction dates)Reserves - at historical rates (average rates)Assets and liabilities - at closing rateIncome statement - at average rate prevailing during the financial period

All translation gains or losses are taken up and reflected in the exchange fluctuation reserve account under shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

It is not practical to estimate the fair value of the amount due to a related party of RM Nil (�005: RM1 million) in the absence of fixed terms of settlement. However, the directors of the Company do not anticipate the carrying amount recorded at the balance sheet date to be significantly different from the value that would eventually be settled by way of rendering of services (Note 4).
