orporate citizenship has long been an integral part of our approach as we conduct our business of providing efficient, affordable and environmentally responsible energy to Malaysia. Being a good corporate citizen is embedded in every facet of our operations; from ensuring the highest standards in safety and health, to protecting the environment, operating with the highest business

integrity and contributing to the communities where we work. This section describes the corporate citizenship efforts and accomplishments of EMB and the other subsidiaries of ExxonMobil in Malaysia.

Our efforts to be a good corporate citizen are demonstrated on many fronts, but none is more fundamental than setting and meeting the highest ethical standards for the way we do business. We support transparency, oppose corruption and are committed to honest and ethical behaviour wherever we operate.

Our philosophy on business ethics is enshrined in our which serves as a guide toward the highest standards of integrity in all our dealings and every aspect of our operations. These are further strengthened by each employee’s annual affirmation of their familiarity with the policies and on-going reviews to assess compliance and identify areas for improvement.

Our Operations Integrity Management System provides a disciplined framework for controlling and managing safety, health, security and environmental risks at all our facilities. It is designed to help minimise operational incidents and meets the requirements of the International Organisation for Standardisation’s standard for environmental management systems (ISO 14001).

In 2010, we conducted refresher training for employees on our business practices to ensure they fully understand company expectations. Controls clinics were organised to encourage dialogue on the application of guidelines and policies. We also conducted training for employees who interact with government officials or may do so in the future to ensure they understand expectations of ethical and honest dealings with governments and obligations to comply with competition laws and anti-trust legislation of the United States.

Upholding Standards In Corporate Governance and Business Integrity

Standards of Business Conduct

Corporate Citizenship - Highlights



EMB emerged as a double winner at the STARBiz-ICR Malaysia Corporate Responsibility Award 2010 in the ‘Workplace’ and ‘Community’ categories. It was one of 21 finalists selected from a shortlist of companies listed on Bursa Malaysia and was the only company among the finalists with market capitalisation below RM1 billion to win in two categories.

Safety Excellence - The Number One Priority

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and security in our day-to-day operations in order to protect the welfare of our employees, contractors, customers and the public.

Our goal is Hurt-Free, Every Site, Every Day. We enforce strict compliance with safety procedures and management systems to achieve this vision. While these systems provide a valuable framework for achieving safety excellence, active employee involvement is crucial to maintaining this performance. Safety programmes such as U-See U-Act, Job Safety Analysis and a Loss Prevention System reinforce the message of personal accountability towards mitigating risks in our operations. These programmes are extended to our contractors and third-party workers to ensure a common approach to safety.

Port Dickson Refinery continued its outstanding safety performance, achieving eight years Lost Time Incident (LTI) free as at April 2010 and six years Total Recordable Incident (TRI) free as at September 2010. The Refinery was awarded the ExxonMobil Refining & Supply Safety Excellence Award (Platinum) for the former and ExxonMobil Refining & Supply “Nobody Gets Hurt” Special Recognition Award for the latter. The Refinery also received a Gold Merit Award from the Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety & Health (MSOSH) for its 2010 occupational safety and health performance.

Our Distribution terminals achieved flawless operations throughout 2010, recording zero LTI. Our terminals business also logged 13.8 years straight without LTI, representing 16.78 million hours worked without incident. Port Dickson and Bagan Luar Terminals obtained Gold Awards from MSOSH for their exemplary safety performance during the previous 12 months.

EMB’s construction services provider, which services ExxonMobil’s Asia Pacific retail business, celebrated eight

years and five million manhours without LTI. In addition, EMB together with ExxonMobil’s retail businesses in the Asia Pacific region, received the ExxonMobil Fuels Marketing President’s Safety Award, which recognised them for exceptional overall security, safety, health and environmental performance as well as continuous improvement over time. For a number of years, ExxonMobil’s Asia Pacific retail sales group has consistently achieved the lowest total recordable incident rate for a retail business. Showing relentless attention to SSH&E, the team posted best-in-class employee and contractor recordable rates, a nearly 70% improvement in employee incident rates since 2008, and zero environmental incidents in the past two years.

Environmental Performance - Protect Tomorrow. Today.

Supporting Sustainability

We are committed to operating our business in an environmentally responsible manner that balances the environmental and economic needs of the communities in which we operate. In addition to strict compliance with applicable environmental legislation and regulations, we continuously seek ways to understand and mitigate the impact of our business on the environment. As part of our Protect Tomorrow. Today. initiative, we take active measures at all our facilities to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, prevent environmental incidents and minimise our environmental footprint.

Port Dickson Refinery achieved exemplary performance in flare reduction with 55 percent improvement compared to 2009. The site also sustained zero reportable spills in 2010 for the second year running.

Port Dickson Refinery is also a pace setter in energy conservation through its energy efficiency measures, resulting in some RM5 million in cost savings. The Refinery ranks in second place among all ExxonMobil refineries throughout Asia Pacific for energy efficiency.

All our distribution terminal storage tanks for gasoline products are equipped with an internal floating roof to reduce the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. At the same time, we operate a robust Preventive Maintenance Programme for all storage tanks and pipelines to ensure their integrity is maintained, all with the goal of zero leaks or spills to the environment.

We are dedicated to minimising the risks and impacts associated with the manufacture and use of our products, from development through to their end use and ultimate disposal. We have processes in place to ensure the quality and high standards of our products. We ensure our products are safely delivered to our customers in all sectors and conduct regular safety checks of all our equipment. We provide up-to-date product specifications and safe handling procedures of the products we sell.

Our service station dealers are trained in preventive and responsive safety and environmental procedures to ensure safety at all our sites and to minimise the impact of any security or environmental incident that may occur.

We are committed to supporting our customers’ sustainability efforts by developing innovative, high-performance products and services that deliver both business and sustainability related benefits.

In 2010, our Lubricants & Specialties business ran a communications campaign with its distributors to highlight the measures we are taking on sustainability in our business. Specific initiatives include:

A focus on helping to extend equipment life, and increase efficiencies and productivity in order to benefit equipment manufacturers and users alike.

Working with engine manufacturers to boost fuel economy and lower emissions. This also enables marine/truck fleet operators to reduce oil consumption and thus resulting in cost savings. Our formulations are also designed with increased fuel economy as a primary goal.

Extending the performance and protection of vehicle engines by developing longer lasting lubricants. Our longer lasting synthetic motor oils also cut down on used oil volumes.

Reducing the use of materials through package design enhancements.

Using fully recyclable road bitumen to conserve building materials.

Reducing marine fleet oil consumption with a feed rate optimisation programme.

Protect TomorrowToday


A Healthy Workplace, A Healthy Business

Active In The Community

We know that the success of our business lies fundamentally in the personal well-being and professional growth of our employees. During the year, we ran a number of occupational health programmes and initiatives to reduce the risk of occupational injury or illness and to raise awareness of the importance of health among employees, contractors and others involved in our operations.

The Ergo Lead / Ergo Contact Network continued its stewardship of the Office Ergonomics programme with regular assessment and reviews to ensure that potential injury and illness among employees related to ergonomic factors were minimised. An Ergo Resource Centre was also opened during the year to help employees learn more about preventing illness and injury in the workplace and at home. A Health Week was organised for employees featuring a series of talks on health topics with demonstrations and presentations on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Nurturing Talent - We recognised the importance of attracting and retaining top performers from the broadest possible talent pool to meet our business requirements. We put in place fair and responsive succession plans and opportunities for advancement, keeping pace with our employees’ progress and achievements in order to identify areas in which they can contribute and grow. We encourage a healthy work-life balance, and instill respect for this philosophy among our employees and management.

Equal Treatment - Employees are treated equally regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or impairment due to health conditions. We adopt policies that encourage diversity in the work place and practice zero tolerance of all forms of harassment in the workplace.

Developing Potential - We strive to provide our employees with the best career opportunities in our industry, including assignments abroad to help foster individual growth and achievement. During 2010, a number of EMB employees were among the 100 Malaysians on international assignments within ExxonMobil.

ExxonMobil has a long tradition of community involvement via employee volunteerism and financial contributions. We work with government and non-government bodies and community leaders to identify areas of need and make positive contributions through projects that bring sustainable, long-term benefits in the areas of human capital development, health and safety, energy literacy and corporate governance.

In 2010, about RM1.3 million was contributed by EMB and other ExxonMobil subsidiaries to some 35 organisations to support a number of human capital development, environment, safety and health projects. Some of our contributions include:

ExxonMobil Education & Scholarship Fund for deserving students in Negeri Sembilan.

Sports award to recognise outstanding young athletes under the Majlis Sukan Sekolah-Sekolah Negeri Sembilan (MSSNS) programme.

In addition to financial contributions, EMB employees are very much involved in community service. Our employees have once again been the driving force behind the success of our various employee volunteer programmes during the year which aim to make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged.

ExxonMobil Community Projects Programme: In 2010, EMB employees were part of about 650 employees and family members who carried out a total of 14 community projects at various locations. These included arranging a shopping expedition for children from a local orphanage to help them prepare for the new school year; and working with children from poor urban communities to help generate an understanding of what makes strong families and to build their self worth. At Rumah Alam Darul Aminan Orphanage in Senawang, Port Dickson Refinery employees and their families carried out a project to upgrade the orphanage buildings and gardens and organised a day of activities with the resident children. In total, RM220,000 was spent for the year’s programme.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors of Esso Malaysia Berhad is committed to ensuring that the highest standards of corporate governance are practised throughout the Company. The Board views this as a fundamental part of its responsibilities to protect and enhance shareholder value. Accordingly, the Board fully supports the principles laid out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance.

Exxon Mobil Corporation, as the Company's ultimate holding company, has developed a series of policies and management systems that are designed to create and support a strong system of corporate governance. The policies and management systems have been adopted by the Board and are communicated to the Company's employees, contractors and vendors, so that each has a clear understanding of the Company's expectations.

The policies, which are set out in a Standards of Business Conduct booklet, and the management systems are strictly enforced. The Foundation Policies include Business Ethics, Conflicts of Interest, Antitrust, Alcohol and Drug Use, Gifts and Entertainment, Harassment in the Workplace and Outside Directorships. The management systems are designed to achieve high standards of performance in the areas of safety, operations integrity, internal control and legal and environmental compliance.

The Board and the Board Audit Committee ensure that the policies and the management systems are fully implemented and consistently enforced. They are supported by an internal Management Committee and an Audit and Controls Committee, both led by the Chairman.

The Board leads and controls the Company. The Board meets at least four times a year, with additional matters resolved by way of Circular Resolutions as and when necessary. Each Non-Executive Director is independent and brings invaluable judgment to bear on issues of strategy, performance, resource allocation, risk management and standards of conduct.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, four Board and four Board Audit Committee meetings were held. Details of the Directors' attendance at these meetings are summarised below:

Remuneration Committee

Directors' Remuneration

The Board had 7 members as at the end of 2010, with 3 Independent Non-Executive Directors and 4 Executive Directors (including the Chairman). Together, the Directors form the mind and management of the Company.

The functional organisation of the Company provides a system and structure of checks and balances in the decision making process. There is a clear division of responsibilities between the Chairman and each of the other Executive Directors.

Balance in the Board is achieved and maintained with the composition of both Executive and Independent Non-Executive Directors. In recognition that the Independent Non-Executive Directors have a primary role in providing unbiased and independent views, the Company has selectively appointed highly qualified individuals of integrity and character, with broad experience and proven business and management expertise.

Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim is the longest serving Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company. Shareholders are at liberty to approach Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim, or any of the other Independent Non-Executive Directors, should there be any concerns relating to the Company and its Management.

Information regarding the Company's business and affairs is normally provided to the Board by the Company's management and staff and by the Company's independent auditors. Towards meeting this objective, Board meetings are structured with a pre-determined agenda. Board papers covering the Company's operational and financial performance, strategic plans on any significant matters and developments, together with the minutes of the previous Board and Board Audit Committee meetings, are circulated to the Directors (or Members of the Board Audit Committee, as the case may be) in advance of each meeting. This allows the Directors time to deliberate on the issues to be raised and discussed at each meeting. The Board, in addition to having full access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, has the authority to retain such outside advisors, including accountants, legal counsels, and other experts, as it deems appropriate. The fees and expenses of any such advisors will be paid by the Company.

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, the Board can appoint any person to be a Director as and when it is deemed necessary. However, consistent with the best practices of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board prior to such appointments. Any person so appointed shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting at which time the candidate will be subject to election by the shareholders. An election of Directors takes place every year, with each Director retiring from office at least once every three years. Directors retiring by rotation are eligible for re-election by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The Remuneration Committee is responsible for the recommendation of the remuneration of the Executive and the Independent Non-Executive Directors, for the Board's consideration and decision.

The current members of the Remuneration Committee are as follows:1. Mr. Hugh W. Thompson (Executive Director) - Chairman

Puan Fatimah Merican (Executive Director) - Alternate Chairman2. Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim (Independent Non-Executive Director) 3. Y. Bhg. Dato' Zainal Abidin Putih (Independent Non-Executive Director)

The remuneration received by the Independent Non-Executive Directors in 2010 was recommended by the Board as a whole (with the Independent Non-Executive Directors abstaining from participation in the discussions and voting on the matter) and approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 25, 2010.

With the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, the Board has adopted Exxon Mobil Corporation's compensation system to set the remuneration of Executive Directors. The compensation system took into account the performance of each Executive Director and the competitive environment in which the Company operates. The Executive Directors took no part in deciding their own remuneration.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE (Continued)

The Company has opted not to disclose each Director's remuneration as the Board considers the information to be sensitive and proprietary.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for the recommendation of candidates for Independent Non-Executive Directors and Executive Directors and the recommendation of Directors for Committees, for the Board's consideration and decision.

The Nominating Committee is also responsible for the assessment of the effectiveness of individual Directors, Board Committees and the overall Board on an ongoing basis. These assessments, based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors, were carried out by the Nominating Committee in 2010. The findings and results of these assessments by the Nominating Committee were reported to the Board.

The current members of the Nominating Committee are as follows:1. Mr. Hugh W. Thompson (Executive Director) - Chairman

Puan Fatimah Merican (Executive Director) - Alternate Chairman 2. Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Syed Jalaludin Syed Salim (Independent Non-Executive Director) 3. Y. Bhg. Tan Sri Abdul Halim Ali (Independent Non-Executive Director)

The Board when setting up the Nominating Committee in 2003 formed the view, which it still holds today, that the Chairman of the Company, being an Executive Director, should be a member and Chairman of the Nominating Committee. While the composition of the Nominating Committee departs from the Best Practices as outlined in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance, compliance with which is not compulsory, the Board is of the view that the inclusion of the Chairman of the Company provides the Nominating Committee with invaluable perspective on the business and operational needs of the Company. Such input is needed in the selection and recommendation of suitable candidates for appointment by the Board, as well as in assessing the performance of the Board, Directors and Committees.

Apart from the Chairman, the Nominating Committee members are all Independent Non-Executive Directors.

Accountability and Audit

Internal Control

The Board places great emphasis on continuous education for Directors. In this regard, the status of each Director's continuous education was regularly monitored and reviewed by the Board. The Board had in 2006, adopted the 'Principles for Training of Directors of the Company' that sets out the philosophies on and the types and modes of training, that the Directors will undertake in each year, to help them serve the Board more effectively. These same Principles were applied by the Board in determining the relevant training for Directors of the Company in 2010.

All Directors on the Board had received or undergone relevant training in 2010. Further details of the training programmes attended by the Directors in 2010 are as set out in pages 24 to 26.

The Company reimburses Directors for costs incurred in attending continuous education programmes.

The Directors are also briefed at quarterly Board meetings on any significant changes in laws and regulations that are relevant to the Company's operations.

The Board values and encourages dialogue with the shareholders to establish better understanding of the Company's objectives and performance. The Annual General Meeting provides an appropriate forum for the shareholders to dialogue with the Board. Additionally, queries from investors and potential investors are dealt with by our Investor Relations. The Company also has its own website with contact details of a dedicated officer for such purpose. The Company holds open discussions with investors and analysts upon request. In this regard, the Company disseminates information in strict adherence to the disclosure requirements of the Main Market Listing Requirements of the BMSB. Material information relating to the Company is disclosed to the public by way of announcements to the BMSB, as required by the Main Market Listing Requirements of the BMSB.

At the Annual General Meeting, the Chairman of the Board reviews the progress and performance of the Company with the shareholders. A question and answer session is also conducted to allow shareholders the opportunity to question Management on the Company's business and the proposed resolutions. The Chairman, the Board members and the external auditors are available at the Annual General Meeting to respond to questions.

In announcing the quarterly, semi-annual and annual financial statements to the shareholders and the public, the Board endeavours to present a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company's financial position and prospects. The Board Audit Committee assists the Board by ensuring the accuracy and adequacy of the information announced.

The Directors are responsible for the Company's system of internal controls. The system applies to all financial and operating activities with the objective of safeguarding the shareholders' investment and the Company's assets. The internal control system has clear management support, including the involvement of the Board, and is designed to meet the risks to which the Company is exposed. The Board is satisfied with the design of the control system and believes that there is compliance with all of the requirements.

Key elements of the Company's internal control system include:

1. a comprehensive and clearly documented System of Management Control Standards Manual that establishes the core requirements for good controls within the Company. The Manual not only identifies the principal risks faced by the Company, but also prescribes the appropriate systems to manage these risks. The Manual also specifies the overall control framework, the required control checks and the required checks on the system's effectiveness,

2. a clearly defined organisational structure with clear lines of accountability and delegation of authority for each level,

3. annual reviews of the control system, including internal and external audits. The results are reviewed with various levels of management and any major concerns are raised to senior management and the Board Audit Committee,

Other Information

4. key policies covering, among others, Business Ethics, Conflicts of Interest, Antitrust, Alcohol and Drug Use, Gifts and Entertainment, Harassment in the Workplace and Outside Directorships. They include requirements to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. These policies are communicated to and acknowledged by employees on an annual basis,

5. a Controls Integrity Management System to assess and sustain the effectiveness of the organisation's system of controls; and

6. a yearly representation of compliance to the internal control system and key policies by the managers of each business unit in the Company. Managers are required to document any outstanding control concerns and the planned corrective action steps.

It should be noted that systems of internal controls and risk management are designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and any system can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Directors are required by the Companies Act, 1965 and the Main Market Listing Requirements of the BMSB to confirm that the financial statements for each financial year have been made out in accordance with the applicable approved accounting standards and that they give a true and fair view of the results of the business and state of affairs of the Company for the financial year.

The Directors have carried out their responsibilities by: selecting suitable accounting policies and applying them consistently; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ensuring that all applicable accounting standards have been adhered to; and basing the financial statements on a going-concern basis, as the Directors have a reasonable expectation, after

having made due enquiries, that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the Company keeps accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the Company, enabling the Directors to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act, 1965 and to safeguard the assets of the Company.

The Board has established a formal and transparent relationship with the auditors of the Company. The role of the Board Audit Committee in relation to the internal and external auditors is described on pages 27 and 28.

The Company is not and was not a party to any material contracts involving the Directors' interests during the year. Further the Company is not and was not a party to any material contracts that are not in its ordinary course of business involving its major shareholders' interests during the year.

No non-audit fees were paid or are payable to the external auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, by the Company for the financial year ended December 31, 2010.

i) Family Relationship

None of the Directors have any family relationship with any other Director and/or major shareholder(s) of the Company.

ii) Conflicts of Interest

Other Information(Continued)

iii) Conviction for offences (excluding traffic offences)

iv) Sanctions and/or penalties

RESERVES AND PROVISIONS

All material transfers to or from reserves and provisions during the year are shown in the financial statements.

STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Before the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position were completed, the Directors took reasonable steps:

1. to satisfy themselves that all receivables had been properly analysed, that bad debts had been written off where appropriate and that adequate provision for impairment of receivables had been established; and

2. to ensure that any current assets, which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business, were written down to the expected realisable amount.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:

1. which would make the amounts written off for bad debts or the provision for impairment of receivables in the financial statements of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

2. which would make the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Company misleading; or

3. which would make adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations when they fall due.



STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

1. any charge on the assets of the Company which has arisen since the end of the year which secures the liability of any other person; or

2. any contingent liability of the Company which has arisen since the end of the year.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements which would make any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

In their opinion:

1. the results of the Company's operations during the year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature; and

2. there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Company for the year in which this report is made.

All transactions between the Company or a related corporation and companies in which Directors have interests are conducted on an arms-length, commercial basis in the ordinary course of business.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 2. The financial statements comply with the Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the FRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. It also requires the Directors to make judgements that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgements are based on the Directors' best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ.

The financial statements have been approved for issues in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated February 25, 2011.

The Company determined that the operating segment was unchanged as previously identified under 114 and additional disclosures about 2004

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unless otherwise stated, the following accounting policies adopted by the Company are consistent with those adopted in previous years:

(a) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or 1982 valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment. No valuation has been conducted since 1982.



2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(a) Property, plant and equipment (Continued)

The Directors applied the transitional provisions of FRS 116 on Property, Plant and Equipment when MASB first issued the standard in 2000, which allowed property, plant and equipment to be stated at their prevailing valuations less depreciation. The valuations were determined by independent professional valuers on the following bases:

Land - Open market value based on existing useBuildings - Depreciated replacement cost

No depreciation is provided on freehold land and capital projects that are in progress. Buildings and improvements and plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis to write-off the cost or valuation of the assets to their residual values, over the term of their estimated service lives. The residual values and service lives are reviewed at each balance sheet date.

The principal annual rates of depreciation used are as follows:

Buildings and improvements 3% - 5%Plant and equipment 4% - 10%

Maintenance and repairs are charged to the income statement as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalised.

Included in the respective property, plant and equipment classifications, is the Company's proportionate share in the joint venture assets of the Multi Product Pipeline System and related distribution terminal facilities (MPP). The Company has a 20% participating interest in the MPP. The accounting policy adopted for these jointly controlled assets is consistent with those adopted for the Company's 100% owned property, plant and equipment.

(b) Financial assets

The Company’s financial assets are loans and receivables. The Company has loans and receivables which are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for financial assets with maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, amount due from related corporations and cash and cash equivalents (Note 2 (f)).

(c) Impairment of assets

(i) Non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed annually to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use and is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment is measured by the amount the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. Impairment loss and its subsequent reversal are taken to the income statement.

(ii) Financial assets carried at amortised cost

A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor, a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise and indications that a debtor will enter bankruptcy or receivership.



Leases of assets under which a significant portion of risks and benefits of ownership over the economic life of the assets are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Prepaid lease rentals on service station sites made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Payments for all other operating leases are charged to the income statement in the year to which they relate.

(e) Inventories

Crude oil and petroleum product inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes all applicable purchase costs and production overheads and is determined on the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. Materials and supplies are valued at cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and a deduction is made for obsolete and slow moving stocks.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include bank balances, deposits held at call with banks and cash in hand less bank overdrafts. To be included, these items must be readily convertible to cash and must not be subject to a significant risk of a change in value.

(g) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle a present legal or constructive obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. The provisions are reviewed at year end and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

(h) Employee / separation benefits

(i) Short-term employee benefits

Wages, salaries, bonuses, and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company.

(ii) Retirement benefits

(a) Defined contribution retirement plan

The Company's contribution to the national defined contribution plan, the Employees Provident Fund, is recognised in the income statement as incurred.

(b) Retirement benefits

The Company operates an unfunded defined benefit retirement plan for its regular national employees. The liability for employees' retirement benefits is determined based on a periodic independent actuarial reappraisal of the plan assumptions. This is based on the schedule of benefits stipulated in the Company's retirement benefits plan. The most recent reappraisal was carried out in December 2009. The projected unit credit method is used to calculate the actuarial plan benefits based on the estimated years of service and employees' projected compensation during their last year of employment. The liability recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service cost. Actuarial gains or losses are amortised on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service life of employees expected to receive the plan benefits.

(iii) Separation benefits

Separation benefits are payments due to employees as a result of the separation from employment before the normal retirement age. The liability for separation benefits is recognised when the Company's commitment is confirmed without any realistic possibility of withdrawal.

(d) Operating leases




(i) Share capital

Ordinary stock units with discretionary dividends are classified as equity.

(j) Dividends

Dividends on ordinary stock units are recognised as liabilities when the dividends are approved for payment.

(k) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(l) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently carried at amotised cost. All interest, profit elements on Islamic Commercial Papers (ICP) Programme and other costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred, except that up-front costs incurred in establishing long-term facilities are amortised over the facility period. With the adoption of FRS 123 Borrowing Costs, borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets for which the commencement date for capitalisation is on or after January 1, 2010, should be capitalised. The change had no material impact on the financial position of the Company.

(m) Taxation

The taxation charge in the income statement comprises current and deferred taxes. Current taxes are calculated by applying current tax rates to the chargeable income for the year.

Deferred taxes are calculated at the balance sheet date on all material temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on either the taxable entity, or different taxable entity where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to absorb the deductible temporary differences. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date are used to calculate deferred taxes.

(n) Revenue recognition

Income from the sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of goods and acceptance by customers net of returns, discounts and allowances, in accordance with the terms of sale. Interest and other income are recognised on an accrual basis.

(o) Research and development

Expenditures on research and development are recognised as expense except when there is sufficient certainty that the development efforts will result in future economic benefits for the Company, in which case these costs are capitalised.

(p) Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Company is Ringgit Malaysia. Transactions arising in foreign currencies are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the approximate rates of exchange on the transaction dates. Transactions uncompleted at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from the translation and settlement of foreign currency transactions are included in the income statement.



(q) Segment reporting

Segment reporting is consistent with the internal reporting to the Company’s chief operating decision maker, represented by a committee responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segment.

(r) Fair value estimation

The carrying amount of current receivables and payables, carried at amortised cost, approximate their fair values.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The Company makes accounting estimates and assumptions concerning the future which may differ from actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

(a) Estimated useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis over the term of their useful service lives taking into account residual values where appropriate. The estimated useful lives of these assets should be reflective of factors such as service life experience on the facilities and their maintenance programmes. The useful lives and residual values of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. The significant accounting policy for property, plant and equipment is disclosed in Note 2.

(b) Retirement Benefits Obligations

The present value of the retirement benefits obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining net cost (income) for the retirement benefits include the discount rate used to determine the present value of estimated cash outflows expected to be required to settle the retirement benefits obligations, and salary growth rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of retirement benefits obligations. Refer to Note 18 for the sensitivity of the overall pension liability to changes in the discount rate and salary growth rate.

4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

a) Market Risk

Given the size and long-term nature of its business, the Company expects that exposure to market risk arising from changes in currency rate and interest rate will be moderated over time. As such, the Company discourages the use of financial derivative instruments to manage these risks. The Company believes that the administrative and financial costs to execute and control the use of derivatives typically outweigh the potential benefits. Any derivative transaction would require senior management approval and periodic review. Speculative derivative activity is strictly prohibited.

(i) Currency risk

The Company’s activities are exposed to currency risk primarily arising from US dollar denominated crude purchases. A strengthening of the Ringgit would result in a favorable impact to profitability due to credit terms for payments for crude purchases. The Company has no other significant short-term or long-term transactions denominated in foreign currencies as at December 31, 2010.

A 10% depreciation / appreciation of the USD against the Ringgit would result in an approximate decrease / increase in pre-tax profit of RM39 million (2009: RM41 million) with all other variables held constant.



4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

a) Market Risk (Continued)

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in market interest rates as the Company’s operations are financed through a mixture of retained profits and borrowings.

The borrowings are generally based on floating interest rates unless opportunities arise for competitive fixed rate financing. The Company’s financing arrangements are typically tracked against the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) or Kuala Lumpur Interbank Offered Rate (KLIBOR). A rise in the major benchmark rates would result in a higher interest expense and vice versa. The impact of a 10-basis-point change in interest rate affecting the Company’s borrowing would not be material to the Company’s financial statements.

b) Credit Risk

Credit risk primarily arises from cash and cash equivalents, and credit exposures to trade customers. The Company places its surplus cash with a sister affiliate, ExxonMobil Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., which has been assessed as low risk due to overall strength of ExxonMobil group. From time to time, the Company has deposit placement with independently rated banks with a minimum rating of AAA by local rating agency, or equivalent.

The Company manages credit exposure to trade customers by strict adherence to a set of credit policies and procedures whereby customers are thoroughly assessed and risk rated. Daily credit monitoring is an integral part of the credit management process that is administered within the Company’s financial and operating system. Risk evaluations are performed internally including reviews of financial positions, business success indicators, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on the internal ratings in accordance with guidelines set by management. Risk categories are established for individual customers based on internal credit guidelines ranging from very low to very high risk. The risk categories are intended to reflect the risk of payment default by a customer and are similar to the rating scales established by external rating agencies.

The Company is consistently in a net current liability position as retail sales to service stations are on cash terms whilst purchases, which are mostly intercompany in nature, are on credit terms. This improves the Company’s return on capital employed by effectively reducing its exposure to uncollected trade receivables.

c) Liquidity Risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalent balance, third party borrowing facilities and inter-company financing arrangements. The Company reviews its revolving credit facilities on a periodic basis and continues to receive support from both local and foreign financial institutions. The existing Islamic Commercial Paper Program has continued enjoying competitive rates relative to other available arrangements. In addition, the Company has subscribed to the fund pooling arrangements made available by its sister affiliate, ExxonMobil Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. This inter-company financing arrangement allows the Company to either draw cash from the pool in the event of a shortfall, or place cash into the pool in the event of excess, at competitive interest rates on a daily basis.

The Company continues to optimise the mix of its borrowing facilities to maximise financing flexibility whilst reducing financing cost. These facilities are short-term in nature unless opportunities arise to secure favorable longer term borrowing facilities.

Liquidity risk may also arise if debtors are not able to settle obligations to the Company within the normal credit term. To manage this risk, the Company periodically assesses the financial viability of debtors and may require certain debtors to provide bank guarantees or other security.

d) Capital Risk

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns to shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders.

In the future, in order to maintain an appropriate capital structure, the Company may consider adjusting the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, returning capital to shareholders, issuing new shares or selling assets to reduce debt.

There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.

Credit terms of trade receivables range from payment in advance to generally up to 90 days. All the receivables are in Ringgit Malaysia.

At the balance sheet date, the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is mainly from Supply and Industrial customers. The provision for impairment of receivables s considered sufficient to cover collection losses.

Other receivables are generally those of a non-trade nature. Included in the current year balance is an amount of RM152,939,651 (2009: RM59,573,178) for subsidies receivable from the Government of Malaysia under the Automatic Pricing Mechanism.

As at December 31, 2010, provisions were made for impaired trade receivables of RM3,163,000 (2009: RM3,023,000). These primarily relate to a few industrial customers which are in financial difficulty, and represent the amount in excess of value of collaterals which have been claimed. The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts are still collectable, based on historic payment behaviour and customers’ credit ratings.

Movements of the provision for impairment of receivables are as follows:

At 1 January 3,023 3,182Provision for impairment 222 -Receivables written off during the year (35) (32)Reversal of provision for impairment (47) (127)At 31 December 3,163 3,023

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of receivables mentioned above. The Company holds collaterals in the form of bank guarantees, letters of credit, cash deposits and other credit enhancements such as corporate guarantees and registered charges over lands to secure most of these trade receivables.

The Company believes that apart from the above, no impairment is necessary in respect of trade receivables that are not past due, which relates to customers with good payment records with the Company.
