REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

For the year ended 30th June, 2007, the Group recorded a revenue of RM28.26 million and a net loss after tax of RM4.37 million ascompared to a revenue of RM30.75 million and a profit after tax of RM2.03 million in the financial year ended 30th June, 2006.

The drop in the Group’s revenue is due to the Malaysian operations where its revenue dropped from RM15.1 miilion in financial year2006 to RM11.8 million in financial year 2007. The reduction in revenue is mainly due to the Company’s full compliance with thenew operating guidelines issued by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission. Overseas operations continue toexperience revenue growth, particularly in Thailand and Pakistan.

The loss suffered by the Group in financial year 2007 includes two exceptional charges which is the provision for doubtful debts ofRM5.25 million and impairment on the company’s investment in Indonesia amounting to RM1.64 million. The provision for doubtfuldebts arose from the Malaysian operations and is mainly due to a dispute with a particular Telco. The impairment in value ininvestment in Indonesia and its related goodwill was arrived at by discounting the future cash flow of the Indonesian operations inaccordance with the requirements of the relevant accounting standards.

The Group would have generated a profit after tax of RM2.52 million without the above-mentioned exceptional charges.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

During the financial year, the Company increased its equity interest in AKN MTech Thailand (MTech Thailand) from 70% to 95%through the acquisition of the entire issued and paid up capital of Virtue Partners International Limited (VPI). VPI is principally aninvestment holding company and its only investment is a 25% equity interest in MTech Thailand.

DIVIDEND

No dividend has been paid or declared by the Company since the end of the previous financial year. The Directors did not recommendthe payment of dividend for the year ended 30th June , 2007.

INDUSTRY TREND AND DEVELOPMENT

The trend of mobility solutions in Malaysia has not changed much in the past year, even though there has been a significant increasein revenue reported by the 3 major mobile operators. The average user continues to indulge mostly in SMS, MMS and WAP basedproducts. The third generation mobile network (3G) still falls behind in terms perceived importance and functionality. Based onavailable statistics, the total number of 3G subscribers is still less than 10% of the market’s total penetration. The recent launch of “UMobile” by one of the 3G operators and its projected active roll-out of its 018 range of 3G subscription early next year, marks anencouraging start to boost the 3G usage in the country.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

We expect the mobile telecommunication industry, particularly the usage of SMS products and more enriched services like MMS,WAP and 3G applications will continue to grow at a steady pace. Affordable handsets are no longer an inhibiting factor, with leadingmanufacturers introducing a wider range of 3G enabled handsets for every type of user segment. This augurs well for the contentindustry as more innovative and richer contents can be provided to the customers. The growth potential in other regions such asPakistan, Indonesia and Thailand where the subscribers are growing at a rapid pace is very encouraging.

However, we believe the industry will still be subject to changes in rules and regulations from mobile operators and/or regulators.Nevertheless the Group believes its Asia-Pacific wide presence will enable the Group to mitigate the operational risks brought aboutby changes to rules and regulations either by the mobile operators and/or country regulators of the countries the Group operate in.

Statement on Corporate Governance

14 A K N M E S S A G I N G T E C H N O L O G I E S B E R H A D

The Board of Directors (“Board”) is committed to the principals of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance(“the Code”) and strives to adopt the prescriptions of the Code.

The Board has continued its commitment in maintaining high standards of corporate governance and the effective applicationof the principles and best practices, as set out in the Code, throughout the Group.

The Board recognises that the practice of good corporate governance is fundamental in this era of globalisation wherecorporate climate calls for enhancement of shareholders’ value, alongside safeguarding the interest of shareholders andstakeholders of the Company.

The Board is pleased to state and affirm the means and manner which the Group has applied the principles, and state the extentto which the Group has complied with the Best Practices of the Code during the financial year under the review.

A. THE BOARD

The Board is entrusted with the proper stewardship of the Company’s resources for the best interest of its shareholdersand also to steer the Group towards achieving the maximum economic value capable of achieving. The members of theBoard have extensive experience and expertise in a wide range of related and unrelated industries and have been selectedbased on their skills, knowledge and their ability to add strength to the leadership.

The Directors are equally accountable for the Company’s activities, strategy and financial performance. Particularattention is given to ensure that the strategies proposed by the Management of the Company are fully discussed andcritically examined by the Board.

Composition and Balance of the Board

The strength of the Board lies in the composition of its members, who has a wide range of expertise, extensiveexperience and diverse background in business, finance and technical knowledge.

The current Board has eight (8) members comprising two (2) Executive Directors, three (3) Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors and three (3) Independent Non-Executive Directors. This composition complies with Rule 15.02 ofthe Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) for the Mesdaq Market wherein itstates that the Board must comprise of at least two (2) or 1/3rd of the Board of Directors of a listed company, whicheveris higher, are Independent Directors. The profile of each Director is presented separately in the annual report.

Dato’ Ahmad Kabeer bin Mohamed Nagoor is the Group’s Non-Independent Non-Executive Chairman while Mr. LimSeng Boon is the Group’s Managing Director. The Chairman is responsible for the Board’s effectiveness and conduct,whilst the Managing Director has overall responsibilities over the business and operation of the Group. The cleardivision of functions and responsibilities between these two roles will ensure a balance of power and authority.

In accordance with the recommendation of the Code, Dato’ Haji Hasan bin Malek, the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company is available to deal with concerns of the Group whereby it will be inappropriate tobe dealt with by the Chairman or the Managing Director.

Non-Executive Directors play a crucial supervisory function. The presence of Independent Non-Executive Directors areessential in providing unbiased and independent views, advice and judgement, ensuring a balanced and impartial Boarddecision making process, as well as safeguarding the interests of other parties, such as minority shareholders. All Non-Executive Directors do not participate in the day-to-day management of the Group.

2.1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable Financial ReportingStandards in Malaysia. At the beginning of the current financial year, the Group and the Company had adopted new andrevised FRSs which are mandatory for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006 as described fully in Note2.3.

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have also been prepared on a historical basis, unless otherwisestated in the accounting policies below.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) except when otherwise indicated.

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 toobtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisableor 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 the net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts isincluded in profit or loss.

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation (continued)

ii. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at thebalance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as theCompany.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, andcontinue 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 areadopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.

Acquisitions of certain subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method of accountinginvolves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingentliabilities 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 anycosts 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 theidentifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in profitor loss.

Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group. It ismeasured at the minorities' share of the fair value of the subsidiaries' identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisitiondate and the minorities' share of changes in the subsidiaries' equity since then.

(b) Intangible Assets

i. Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of businesscombination over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities.Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill isnot amortised but instead, it is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes incircumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity includethe carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

ii. Product development expenditure

All research costs are recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group candemonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, itsintention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, theavailability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during thedevelopment. Product development expenditures which do not meet these criteria are expensed when incurred.

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b) Intangible Assets (continued)

ii. Product development expenditure (continued)

Development costs, considered to have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortisedusing the straight-line basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products not exceeding 2 years. Impairment isassessed whenever there is an indication of impairment and the amortisation period and method are also reviewed atleast at each balance sheet date.

(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 carryingamount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associatedwith the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replacedpart is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period inwhich they are incurred.

Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and anyaccumulated impairment losses.

Building 2% Computers and software 10% - 15%Furniture, fixtures, fittings and office equipment 15%Motor vehicles 10% Renovation 10%

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount,method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of thefuture 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 expectedfrom its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognisedin profit or loss and the unutilised portion of the revaluation surplus on that item is taken directly to retained earnings.

(d) Impairment of Non-financial Assets

The carrying amounts of assets, other than investment properties, inventories, deferred tax assets and non-current assets (ordisposal groups) held for sale, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication ofimpairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount of impairmentloss.

For goodwill, intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, therecoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date or more frequently when indicators of impairment are identified.

For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual asset basis unlessthe asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. If this is the case, recoverableamount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs to. Goodwill acquired in a businesscombination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected tobenefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned tothose units or groups of units.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(d) Impairment of Non-financial Assets (continued)

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. Inassessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate thatreflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amountof 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 first to reduce the carrying amount ofany goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in theunit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revaluedamount, in which case the impairment loss is accounted for as a revaluation decrease to the extent that the impairment lossdoes not exceed the amount held in the asset revaluation reserve for the same asset.

Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill isreversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since thelast impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revisedrecoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (netof amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairmentloss for an asset other than goodwill is recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in whichcase, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.

(e) Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisionsof 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 orincome. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are recognised directly in equity. Financialinstruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis orto 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, deposit atcall and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstandingbank overdrafts.

ii. Other Non-current Investments

Non-current investments other than investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposalof an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

iii. Short term investments

Short term investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an aggregate basis. On disposalof short term investments, the difference between net disposal and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(e) Financial Instruments (continued)

iv. Receivables

Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. An estimate is madefor doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date.

v. Payables

Payables are stated at the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.

vi. Interest Bearing Loans and Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributabletransaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured atamortised cost using the effective interest method.

vii. Equity Instruments

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in whichthey are declared.

The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transactioncosts comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which wouldotherwise have been avoided.

(f) Leases

i. Classification

A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental toownership. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of otherassets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposesof lease classification. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operatingleases.

ii. Finance Leases - the Group as Lessee

Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair valuesand the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation andimpairment losses. The corresponding liability is included in the balance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the presentvalue of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it ispracticable to determine; otherwise, the company's incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs are alsoadded to the carrying amount of such assets.

Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Finance costs,which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value of the assets acquired, arerecognised in the profit or loss over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge onthe 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 asdescribed in Note 2.2(c).

2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) Financial Instruments (continued)

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. Theaggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease termon a straight-line basis.

(g) Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets thatnecessarily 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 temporaryinvestment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costseligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(h) Income Tax

Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of incometaxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at thebalance sheet date.

Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxabletemporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses andunused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporarydifferences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporarydifference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transactionwhich is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability issettled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax isrecognised as income or an expense and included in the profit or loss for the period, except when it arises from a transactionwhich is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or when it arisesfrom a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or theamount of any excess of the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities andcontingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.

(i) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that anoutflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of theamount 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 thepassage of time is recognised as finance cost.

(j) Employee Benefits

i. Short Term Benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which theassociated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annualleave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensatedabsences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absencesoccur.

ii. Defined Contribution Plans

Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions intoseparate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if any of the fundsdo not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and precedingfinancial 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”). Some of the Group's foreignsubsidiaries also make contributions to their respective countries' statutory pension schemes.

iii. Termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever anemployee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits asa liability and an expense when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employeesaccording to a detailed plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offermade to encourage voluntary redundancy. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, themeasurement of termination benefits is based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits fallingdue more than twelve months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

(k) Foreign Currencies

i. Functional and Presentation Currency

The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primaryeconomic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statementsare presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the Company's functional currency.

ii. Foreign Currency Transactions

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity'sfunctional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing atthe dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies aretranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that aredenominated 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.

(k) Foreign Currencies (continued)

ii. Foreign Currency Transactions (continued)

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are includedin profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group'snet investment in foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group's netinvestment in foreign operation, where that monetary item is denominated in either the functional currency of thereporting entity or the foreign operation, are initially taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve withinequity until the disposal of the foreign operations, at which time they are recognised in profit or loss. Exchangedifferences arising on monetary items that form part of the Group's net investment in foreign operation, where thatmonetary item is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of either the reporting entity or theforeign operation, are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Exchange differences arising on monetary items thatform part of the Company's net investment in foreign operation, regardless of the currency of the monetary item, arerecognised in profit or loss in the Company's financial statements or the individual financial statements of the foreignoperation, as appropriate.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or lossfor the period except for the differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains andlosses are recognised directly in equity. Exchange differences arising from such non-monetary items are also recogniseddirectly in equity.

iii. Foreign Operations

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentationcurrency (RM) of the consolidated financial 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 sheetdate;

- Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates for the year, whichapproximates 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 July 2006 are treatedas assets and liabilities of the foreign operations and are recorded in the functional currency of the foreign operationsand translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Goodwill and fair value adjustments which arose on theacquisition of foreign subsidiaries before 1 July 2006 are deemed to be assets and liabilities of the parent company andare recorded in RM at the rates prevailing at the date of acquisition.

(l) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue canbe reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

i. Revenue from Services

Revenue from services rendered is recognised net of service taxes and discounts as and when the services areperformed.

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 financial periods beginningon or after 1 January 2006. The Group has early adopted FRS 117: Leases for its financial period beginning 1 July 2006.

Except for the changes in accounting policies and their effects as discussed below, the new and revised FRS andInterpretations above do not have any other significant impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company:

Changes in Accounting Estimates

(a) FRS 101: Presentation of Financial Statements

Prior to 1 July 2006, minority interests at the balance sheet date were presented in the consolidated balance sheetseparately from liabilities and equity. Upon the adoption of the revised FRS 101, minority interests are now presentedwithin total equity. In the consolidated income statement, minority interests are presented as an allocation of the totalprofit or loss for the year. A similar requirement is also applicable to the statement of changes in equity. The revisedFRS 101 also requires disclosure, on the face of the statement of changes in equity, total recognised income andexpenses for the year, showing separately the amounts attributable to equity holders of the Company and to minorityinterests.

This change in presentation has been applied retrospectively and as disclosed in Note 2.3(d), certain comparatives havebeen restated. The effects on the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2007 are set out in Note 2.3(c). This changein presentation has no impact on the consolidated income statement and the Company's financial statements.

(b) FRS 121: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

Goodwill and fair value adjustments

Prior to 1 July 2006, goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation and fair value adjustments to the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities arising on such an acquisition were deemed to be assets and liabilities of the parentcompany and were translated using the exchange rate at the date of acquisition. Upon the adoption of the revised FRS121, goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are now treated as assets andliabilities of the foreign operation and are translated at the closing rate. In accordance with the transitional provisions,the Group has applied this change in accounting policy prospectively to all acquisitions occurring after 1 July 2006. Thechange in accounting policy, therefore, has had no impact on amounts reported for 2006 or prior periods. The effectson the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2007 are set out in Note 2.3(c). There were no effects on the consolidatedincome statement for the year ended 30 June 2007 and the Company's financial statements.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

2.5 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

(a) Critical Judgement Made in Applying Accounting Policies

There is a critical judgement made by management in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies that hassignificant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Provision for doubtful debts

The policy for provision for doubtful debts of the Group and the Company is based on the evaluation of collectibility andageing analysis of the receivables and on management's judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required inassessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current credit-worthiness and the past collection historyof each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group and the Company were to deteriorate, additionalallowances may be required.

(b) Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, thathave a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the nextfinancial year are discussed below:

(i) Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires the estimation of thevalue-in-use of the cash-generating units (“CGU”) to which goodwill are allocated. Estimating a value-in-use amountrequires management to make an estimate of the expected cash flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitablediscount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of the goodwill as at 30June 2007 is RM13,464,066 (2006: RM10,073,152). Further details are disclosed in Note 13(b).

(ii) Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and others deductible temporarydifferences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses, capitalallowances and others deducible temporary differences can be utilised. Significant management judgement is requiredto determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of futuretaxable profits together with tax planning strategies. The total urecognised tax losses, capital allowances, and otherdeductible temporary differences of the Group and the Company were RM3,864,366 (2006: RM3,944,800) andRM1,564,433 (2006: RM791,783) respectively.

(iii) Exchange rates used for consolidation

The Bank of Thailand had issued notices regarding the Rules and Practices on Currency Exchange in December 2006.Consequently, this has resulted in the Thai Baht being traded using different rates in on-shore and off-shore foreignexchange market. For the subsidiary in Thailand, transactions in foreign currencies are recorded and re-measured in thefinancial statements using the Thai Baht on-shore rate. On consolidation, the Group translates the financial statementsof the subsidiary in Thailand into Ringgit Malaysia using the published rates in Malaysia.

2.6 Changes in Accounting Estimates

With effect from the current financial year, the Company changed the amortisation period for product developmentexpenditure from 3 years to 2 years so as to better reflect their estimated useful lives.

The effects onthe financial statements of this change in accounting estimate is an increase in amortisation of product developmentexpenditure and increase in the current year net loss of the Group and the Company by RM505,668 and RM422,153respectively.

3. REVENUE

Revenue consists of invoiced value of products and services, net of service taxes and discounts.

Notes To The Financial Statements

13. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

(a) Impairment loss recognised

The management of the Group carried out a review of the recoverable amounts of its subsidiaries during the currentfinancial year. The review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of RM1,641,838 (included in Other Expenses asdisclosed in Note 7). The recoverable amount was based on value-in-use and was determined at the cash-generating unit(CGU). In determining value-in-use for the CGU, the discount rate applied to cash flow projections is the Group's internalrate of return.

(b) Impairment tests for goodwill

Allocation of goodwill

Goodwill has been allocated to the Group's cash generating unit (“CGU”) identified according to the business segment asfollows:

2007 2006RM RM

Other Asian Countries 13,464,066 10,073,152

Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations

The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections basedon financial forecasts approved by management covering a 5-year period. The discount rate applied to cash flowprojections is the Group's internal rate of return and cash flows beyond the 5-year period are extrapolated assuming zerogrowth rate.

Key assumptions and management's approach to determine the values assigned to each key assumption are as follows:

(i) Budgeted gross margin

The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margins is the average gross margin achieved inthe year immediately before the budgeted year increased for expected efficiency improvements.

(ii) Selling price

The selling price used to calculate the cash inflows from operations was determined after taking into considerationprice trends of the industries which the CGUs are exposed. Values assigned are consistent with the external sources ofinformation.

(iii) Exchange rate

The exchange rate used to translate foreign currencies transactions into the CGUs' functional currency is based on theexchange rates obtained immediately before the forecast year. Values assigned are consistent with external sources ofinformation.

(iv) Disposal value

The disposal value of the CGUs is determined by extrapolating cash flow projections beyond the forecast period anddiscounted at the discount rate used by the Company immediately before the disposal. Values assigned are derivedafter considering the industry valuation trend and historical information.

13. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

(b) Impairment tests for goodwill (continued)

(v) Discount rate

The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is based on the internal rate of return of the Group.

The value-in-use calculations covered periods greater than 5 years as the management believes that the CGUs are ableto maintain the production efficiency and quality of their products with adequate maintenance of the assets.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

With regard to the assessment of value-in-use of all CGUs, management believes that no reasonable change in any ofthe above key assumptions would cause the carrying value of the units to materially exceed their recoverable amounts.
