ANNUAL REPORT 2006
Poh Kong Holdings Berhad
Chairman’s Statement
Dear Valued Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I
have great pleasure in presenting the
annual report and financial statements
of Poh Kong Holdings Berhad (“the
Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the
Group”) for the financial year ended
(“FYE”) 31 July 2006.
20
ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The Malaysian economy grew by 5.8 % in the 3rd Quarter of the year
which was higher than the expected 5.5% average growth, according
to Bank Negara Malaysia’s outline of the performance of the economy
on November 23.
The Central Bank forecasts gross domestic product to grow by 6% in
2006. With the revision of the 1st Quarter and 2nd Quarter growth upwards,
and a good showing in the 3rd Quarter, the growth is expected to be
stronger in the 4th Quarter of this year due to accelerated Government
spending and stronger domestic demand. Income is projected to trend
upwards and higher commodity prices, export earnings and increase
in foreign direct investment will contribute to sustain economic growth
and increase income for consumers.
The outlook for investment activity is expected to improve with new
projects coming on stream under the Ninth Malaysia Plan, thus
contributing towards sustained economic activities and a continued
robust domestic sector.
Coupled with this, the wholesale and retail sub-sectors are expected to
grow by about 8% next year in tandem with the promotional efforts to
be carried out during Visit Malaysia Year 2007, thus encouraging more
shoppers, both local and foreign.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the financial year ended 31 July 2006, Poh Kong’s group revenue
was higher from RM351.9 million in FYE2005 to RM 372.1 million in
FYE2006, recording an increase of RM20.2 million or a 5.74 % in
sales.
The increase in revenue was attributed to soaring high gold prices and
growth in sales of which RM16 million was contributed by new outlets
and RM4.2 million by existing stores.
Chairman’s Statement
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (continued)
Poh Kong opened an additional 8 new outlets in urban and
sub-urban centres with each costing an average of RM3
million. As a result of the outlets expansion, Poh Kong’s
inventory comprising mainly gold has increased from
RM250.7 million in FYE2005 to RM286.9 million in FYE2006.
Profit before taxation rose higher from RM22.4 million in
FYE2005 to RM35.1 million or an increase of 57% for
FYE2006 under review.
The growing demand for gold products and higher gold
prices resulted in increase profits. Coupled with this, the
fluctuation in gold prices due to supply and demand and
other global factors have also caused many consumers to
buy gold for investment. We are confident even if the high
gold prices persists, we would not be adversely affected as
gold has intrinsic values and consumers would get used to
the prices. As in the previous year, gold jewellery continued
to be a contributor to the total revenue although Poh Kong
has emphasised the sales of diamonds and gems in its
promotions of jewellery.
Paid-up capital stood at RM115.9 million, an increase of
RM0.4 million by way of conversion of Irredeemable
Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks (“ICULS”) over the
previous financial year of RM115.5 million. As at 31 July
2006, the Group’s net tangible assets recorded an increase
of RM16.9 million at RM216.7 million over the previous year
of RM199.8 million.
The year under review continued to see intense competition
in the jewellery retail trade industry. Competitors came up
with aggressive marketing campaigns, competitive pricing,
network expansion both locally and overseas and improving
their retail outlets distribution.
To commemorate Poh Kong’s 30th Anniversary and to
maintain our unrivalled market leadership, we stepped up
our brand equity advertising, promotional programmes and
special events. These included the Poh Kong 30 th
Anniversary Celebrations Gala Dinner at the KL Hilton for
customers, business partners and associates, the trade,
Government representatives and the media, and the Poh
Kong 30th Anniversary “Million Ringgit Reward” Contest from
30 September 2005 till 30 April 2006 to reward our patrons
with diamonds and gems as prizes. All Poh Kong staff also
celebrated the occasion with a sumptuous 30th Anniversary
“Summer Fiesta” Dinner at the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel,
Bandar Sunway, Selangor.
Poh Kong sponsored the Miss Poh Kong Glamour/
International Tourism Pageant 2005 World Final at 1 Utama
(New Wing), Bandar Utama, Selangor on 18 December 2005
and specially organised a Jewellery Extravaganza show
where models displayed Poh Kong diamonds and gem sets.
On 11 May 2006, Poh Kong Holdings Berhad via its whollyowned subsidiary Poh Kong International Sdn Bhd (“PKISB”)
entered into a joint-venture agreement with two Hong Kong
based companies to carry out the business of diamondcutting and polishing, sales, import and export of precious
stones in Hong Kong and China. PKISB has a 51% equity
interest in the joint-venture which will give the Group an
advantage over its competitors as it will have a steady supply
of diamonds and other precious stones at lower prices.
Currently, we have a total of 72 retail outlets via a network
across the country. The Group has also opened its first
franchise outlet at Complex Karamunsing, Kota Kinabalu,
Sabah in September 2006.

Poh Kong Holdings Berhad
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS (continued)
We are also pleased to announce Poh Kong Jewellers Sdn
Bhd and several subsidiaries of the Group have been
presented the Fair Price Shop Awards 2005 - 2006 in the
jewellery category by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and
Consumer Affairs this year in recognition of the Company’s
outstanding contribution to the country’s economy.
Poh Kong was ranked 10th in the Top Ten Retailing Company
in Malaysia, with US$95 million (RM351 million) in sales
volume for 2005, according to Retail Asia Publishing
magazine. The Company was also listed 372 position in the
region’s 2006 Retail Asia-Pacific Top 500 retail companies
in the annual ranking based on sales value generated by
retailers in 14 Asian economies in 2005.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
22
Plans and strategies to increase our sales turnover for
FYE2007 are on going to constantly fulfill the desires of our
consumers via our brand building advertising campaigns
and promotions, easy accessibility of our existing outlets,
opening of new stores, franchise outlets and overseas
market expansion.
We plan to open more stores as part of our local expansion
for the year 2006/2007. The expansion of outlets in various
locations from urban to sub-urban centres, is aimed at
generating growth opportunities and increase in revenue
while providing wider accessibility and convenience to our
consumers.
The Group is optimistic in identifying more suitable
franchisees in the future.
Going forward on the Group’s overseas expansion, startup on the construction of a diamond cutting and polishing
factory in Zhuhai, Guandong province is now in progress.
Meanwhile, PKISB’s diamond-cutting and polishing
business is currently in operations at a rented factory
premise in Zhuhai. This overseas joint-venture would provide
a wider base for Poh Kong’s future earnings and growth
revenue.
The Company’s strategies have continuously emphasised
not only on yellow and white gold, but diamonds and gems,
as well as the growth of our in-house brand Tranz for the
young and trendy. It also foresees rapid growth for jewellery
outlets Diamond Boutique and sole licensee products for
the Walt Disney collection of favourite characters theme
jewellery for children.
We recognise that the local and global economic conditions
such as gold price volatility will remain challenging and
become more competitive with the participation and
expansion of both local and foreign competitors.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Board expects the
performance of the Group to remain satisfactory for the
coming financial year ending 31 July 2007.

PERNIAGAAN
KESELURUHAN
EKONOMI
DAN
Menurut pengumunan “Garis Kasar Bank Negara Malaysia” mengenai
prestasi ekonomi pada 23 November, Ekonomi Malaysia telah
bertumbuh sebanyak 5.8% dalam Suku Ke-tiga adalah lebih tinggi
daripada purata pertumbuhannya yang dijangka sebanyak 5.5%.
Bank Pusat meramalkan Keluaran Kasar Dalam Negera akan bertumbuh
sebanyak 6% pada tahun 2006. Menerusi semakan mengenai
pertumbuhan yang mendadak dalam Suku Pertama dan Suku Ke-dua,
dan penujukkan peningkatan yang baik dalam Suku Ke-tiga, diekori
dengan pemecutan dalam perbelanjaan kerajaan serta permintaan tinggi
Dalam Negeri, pertumbuhan Ekonomi Malaysia diramalkan akan menjadi
lebih tinggi dan kukuh lagi dalam Suku Ke-empat pada tahun ini.
Pendapatan diramalkan melalui haluan yang semakin menaik, harga
komoditi yang lebih tinggi, perolehan daripada hasil eksport serta
pelaburan langsung negara asing akan mengukuhkan pengekalan
pertumbuhan ekonomi dan peningkatan pendapatan penguna.
Harapan bagi kegiatan dan aktiviti dalam pelabuhan dijangka akan
bertambah baik dengan projek-projek baru seperti yang akan
dilancarkan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ke-sembilan, supaya dapat
terus mengekalkan kedudukan kegiatan ekonomi dan sektor domestik
yang kukuh.
Di samping itu, sub-sektor jualan borong dan runcit dijangka akan
bertumbuh lebih kurang sebanyak 8% pada tahun hadapan sejajar
dengan usaha promosi yang akan dilancarkan sepanjang Tahun Melawat
Malaysia 2007, yang seterusnya akan mengalakkan lebih banyak
pembeli tempatan mahupun negara asing.
KAJIAN KEPUTUSAN-KEPUTUSAN KEWANGAN
Bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Julai 2006, jumlah keuntungan
kumpulan Poh Kong telah meningkat daripada RM351.9 juta dalam FYE
2005 kepada RM372.1 juta dalam FYE 2006, iaitu, mencatatkan
peningkatan sebanyak RM20.2 juta atau 5.74 % dalam hasil jualan.
Peningkatan dalam jumlah hasil berpunca terutamanya daripada harga
emas yang melambung tinggi dan pertumbuhan baik dalam hasil jualan,
iaitu RM16 juta daripada cawangan baru dan RM4.2 juta daripada
cawangan sedia ada.
Penyata Pengerusi
KAJIAN KEPUTUSAN-KEPUTUSAN KEWANGAN
(sambungan)
Poh Kong menubuhkan lapan (8) lagi cawangan baru di
pusat bandar dan bandar kecil dengan setiap cawangan
menelan kos sebanyak RM3 juta. Bersamaan dengan
pengembangan cawangan baru ini, inventori Poh Kong yang
terdiri terutamanya daripada emas telah meningkat daripada
RM250.7 juta dalam FYE2005 kepada RM286.9 juta dalam
FYE2006.
Jumlah keuntungan sebelum cukai meningkat daripada
RM22.4 juta dalam FYE 2005 kepada RM35.1 juta atau
peningkatan sebanyak 57% dalam FYE 2006.
Faktor utama peningkatan dalam jumlah keuntungan Poh
Kong adalah disebabkan oleh permintaan yang meningkat
terhadap produk emas bersamaan dengan harga emas yang
tinggi. Selain itu, turun naik harga emas akibat daripada
pembekalan dan permintaan serta lain-lain faktor global
menyebabkan lebih ramai pengguna melabur dalam emas.
Sekirannya harga emas terus meningkat, kami yakin bahawa
prestasi kumpulan Poh Kong tidak akan terjejas
memandangkan emas mempunyai nilai intrinsic dan
pengguna juga akan terima harga emas tersebut.
Modal berbayar terkini adalah RM115.9 juta, telah meningkat
sebanyak RM0.4 juta melalui cara penukaran ‘Irredeemable
Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks (“ICULS”) berbanding
dengan tahun kewangan yang lepas yang mempunyai
sebanyak RM115.5 juta. Sehingga 31 Julai 2006, Aset
Ketara Bersih Kumpulan Poh Kong merekodkan sebanyak
RM216.7 juta iaitu meningkat sebanyak RM16.9 juta
berbanding dengan tahun lepas sebanyak RM199.8 juta.
Kajian terus menyaksikan persaingan sengit antara
pesaing-pesaing dalam industri dagangan runcit
barangan kemas dalam kempen pemasaran agresif,
peletakan harga yang berunsur persaingan,
pengembangan rangkaian tempatan dan luar negeri
menyebabkan mempertingkatkan pengedaran saluransaluran kepada pengedaran runcit mereka.
Untuk memperingati Ulang Tahun Poh Kong Ke-30, dan
untuk mengekalkan kedudukan Kepimpinan yang tiada
saingan dalam pasaran, kami menekankan pengiklanan
dalam jenama ekuiti kami, program promosi serta acaraacara khas. Ini termasuk Jamuan Makan Malam Gala
Perayaan Ulang Tahun Poh Kong Ke-30 di KL Hilton untuk
para pelanggan, rakan kongsi dan sekutu perniagaan,
bidang perdagangan, wakil-wakil Kerajaan dan pihak media.
Hadiah yang lumayan seperti berlian dan batu permata juga
diberi sebagai ganjaran kepada pelangan tetap kami yang
menyertai Pertandingan “Million Ringgit Reward” yang
bermula dari 30 September 2005 hingga 30 April 2006.
Semua kakitangan Poh Kong juga meraikan perayaan ini
dengan Jamuan Makan Malam “Summer Fiesta” Ulang
Tahun Poh Kong Ke-30 yang mewah di Sunway Lagoon
Resort Hotel, Bandar Sunway, Selangor.
Poh Kong bukan saja menjadi penaja dalam pertandingan
“Miss Poh Kong Glamour/International Tourism Pageant
2005 World Final” yang berlangsung pada 18 December
2005 di 1 Utama Shopping Centre (New Wing), Bandar
Utama, Selangor, tetapi juga mengadakan pertunjukkan
“Jewellery Extravaganza” secara khusus di mana modelmodel memperagakan berlian dan permata Poh Kong.
Pada 11 Mei 2006, Poh Kong Holdings Berhad melalui anak
syarikat milik penuhnya Poh Kong International Sdn Bhd
(“PKISB”) telah menandatangani perjanjian kerjasama
dengan dua syarikat berpangkalan di Hong Kong untuk
menjalankan perniagaan dalam pemotongan dan
