In January 2005, DiGi unveiled a new phase of its
Corporate Social Responsibility programme, called
DiGi’s Amazing Malaysians. The programme aims to
increase awareness of, and preserve, the nation’s
natural, cultural, art, built and social heritage.
Lion dancing goes back at least
2,000 years to a time of active
trade between West Asia and
China. As a mark of goodwill,
Persian ambassadors would make
gifts of exotic animals to the
Chinese Emperor. Among these
were lions. The regal beasts soon
acquired the reputation of being
able to ward off evil, and the lion
dance captures this belief. Lion
dancing came to Malaysia with
Chinese immigrants hundreds of
years ago.

Traditional architecture in Malaysia reflects the
country’s indigenous natural resources, while the

that have settled in the country over the years or
at least stayed long enough to leave their imprint.

The Board of Directors (“Board”) fully appreciates the importance of adopting high standards of
corporate governance throughout the Group. The Board views corporate governance as synonymous
with three key concepts, namely transparency, accountability as well as corporate performance.
As such, the Board strives to adopt the substance behind corporate governance prescriptions and not
merely the form, with the aim of ensuring board effectiveness in enhancing shareholder value. The
Board is thus fully committed to the maintenance of high standards of corporate governance by
supporting and implementing the prescriptions of the principles and best practices set out in Parts 1
and 2 of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (“Code”) respectively.
The following statement sets out how the Company has applied the key principles and the extent of its
compliance with the best practices throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2004.
A. Board of Directors
Board Responsibilities
The Board of Directors plays a primary role in corporate governance by setting out the strategic
direction of the Group, establishing goals, monitoring the achievement of the goals and ensuring a high
degree of transparency and accountability towards all stakeholders. The key responsibilities of the
Board are in tandem with the 6 principal responsibilities specified under Best Practice AAI of the Code.
Meetings
The Board met four (4) times during the financial year ended 31 December 2004.
Details of each existing Director’s meeting attendances are as follows:

Two (2) out of the six (6) Board members are considered independent in accordance with the definition
provided under paragraph 1.01 (Definition and Interpretations) of the Listing Requirements of Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”). As such, the Company fulfils the requirement to have
at least one third of the Board composed of Independent Non-Executive Directors.
Tun Dato’ Seri Dr Lim Chong Eu has been identified as the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director
of the Board to whom concerns may be conveyed.
Board Balance
The Board currently has six (6) members, comprising two (2) Independent Non-Executive Directors and
four (4) Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors. Together, the Directors bring a wide experience
relevant to the direction of the Group. The Directors combine in them expertise and experience in
various fields such as telecommunications, economics and investment, public services and accounting.
Their expertise, experience and background result in thorough examination and deliberations of the
various issues and matters affecting the Group. A brief description of the background of each Director
is presented on pages 8 to 11 of the Annual Report.
There is a clear division of responsibility between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
to ensure that there is a balance of power and authority. The Chairman is responsible for running the
Board and ensures that all Directors receive sufficient relevant information on financial and nonfinancial matters to enable them to participate actively in Board decisions. The CEO is responsible for
the day to day management of the business as well as implementation of Board’s policies and decisions.
There is also balance in the Board because of the presence of Independent Non-Executive Directors of
the calibre necessary to carry sufficient weight in Board decisions. Although all the Directors have an
equal responsibility for the Group’s operations, the roles of these Independent Directors are particularly
important in ensuring that the strategies proposed by the executive management are fully discussed
and examined and take into account the long term interest, not only of the shareholders, but also of
employees, customers, suppliers, community and other stakeholders.
The Board is satisfied that the current Board composition fairly reflects the investment of minority
shareholders in the Company.
Supply of Information
The Chairman ensures that all Directors have full and timely access to information with Board papers
distributed in advance of meetings. Every Director has also unhindered access to the advice and
services of the Company Secretary and may obtain independent professional advice at the Company’s
expense in furtherance of their duties. Prior to the meetings of the Board, Board papers which include
reports on group performance and major operational, financial, strategic and regulatory matters are
circulated to all the Directors. These Board papers are issued at least seven (7) days in advance to
enable the Directors to obtain further explanation, where necessary, in order to be properly briefed
before the meeting.

C. Shareholders
Dialogue between Company and Investors
The Company recognizes the importance of regular communication with investors in the Company, with
the annual report and financial statements, regular interim statements being the key media used.
Enquiries by shareholders are dealt with as promptly as practicably possible. Shareholders, investors
and members of the public may also access the Company’s website to obtain information on the
Company.
The Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
The key element of the Company’s dialogue with its shareholders is the opportunity to gather views of
and answer questions from, both private and institutional shareholders on all issues relevant to the
Company at the AGM. At the AGM, the shareholders are encouraged to ask questions both about the
resolutions being proposed or about the Group’s operations in general. Where it is not possible to
provide immediate answers, the Chairman will undertake to furnish the shareholder with a written
answer after the AGM. The Chairman of the Board also addresses the shareholders on the review of
the Group’s operations for the financial year and outlines the prospects of the Group for the subsequent
financial year. The CEO and members of management are also present at the AGM to clarify and explain
any issue.
D.Accountability and Audit
Financial Reporting
DiGi aims to provide a balanced and meaningful assessment of the Group’s financial performance and
prospects primarily through the annual report, quarterly financial statements and analyst presentations.

Statement of Directors’ Responsibility in Respect of the Financial Statements
The Directors are required by the Companies Act, 1965 to prepare financial statements for each
financial year/period which have been made out in accordance with the applicable approved accounting
standards in Malaysia and give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the
Company and of the results and cash flows of the Group and of the Company for that year/period. In
preparing those financial statements, the Directors have:
adopted suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently;
stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that the Company will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the Company keeps proper accounting records which
disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Group and of the Company and to enable
them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act, 1965. The Directors are
also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Internal Control
The Statement on Internal Control set out on pages 20 to 22 of the Annual Report provides an overview
on the state of internal controls within the Group.
Relationship with the Auditors
Key features underlying the relationship of the Audit Committee with the external auditors are included
in the Audit Committee’s terms of reference as detailed on pages 25 to 27 of the Annual Report. A
summary of the activities of the Audit Committee during the year, including the evaluation of the
independent audit process, are set out on page 24 of the Annual Report.

Introduction
The Board of Directors (“Board”) is committed to maintaining a sound system of internal control in the
Group and is pleased to provide the following statement, which outlines the nature and scope of internal
control of the Group during the financial year.
Board Responsibility
The Board is ultimately responsible for the Group’s system of internal control which includes the
establishment of an appropriate control environment and framework as well as reviewing its adequacy
and integrity.
The system of internal control covers, inter alia, risk management and financial, organizational,
operational and compliance controls. Because of the limitations that are inherent in any system of
internal control, this system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve
the Group’s objectives. Accordingly, it can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against
material misstatement or loss, it is possible that internal controls can be circumvented or overridden.
Furthermore, because of changing circumstances and conditions, the effectiveness of an internal control
system may vary over time.
Key Elements of the System of Internal Control
The following sets out the key elements of the system of internal control of the Group, which have been
in place throughout the financial year and up to the date of the Directors’ Report.
There is in place a clearly defined organizational structure within the Group with formally defined lines
of responsibility and delegation of authority. A process of hierarchical reporting has been established
which provides for a documented trail of accountability.
Significant changes in the business and the external environment are reported to the Board during the
Board meetings. Quarterly financial and other information are also provided to the Audit Committee and
the Board. This oversight review enables the Board to control and evaluate the business performance
so as to ensure that the Group is achieving its corporate objectives. The role of the Audit Committee in
respect of its review of the system of internal controls is described in the Audit Committee Report
included in this annual report.
There is also submission of monthly financial and operational information to the Operating Committee,
that includes the monthly and year-to-date financial results and comparisons to the pre-determined key
performance indicators. Based on this monitoring of results against budget, significant variances are
identified and management action taken, where necessary. The role of the Operating Committee was
subsequently empowered to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with the setting up of the new DiGi
Management Team (the composition comprised CEO and 4 members of management) and the said
committee was dissolved by the Board on 10 November 2004. In addition, an Investment Committee
was established in December 2004 with the aim to support the decision making process in connection
with investments and divestment transactions in the Group.

There is an annual budgeting and business plan process where the management would prepare budgets
for the forthcoming financial year in which these are submitted to and approved by the Board.
Other control procedures include the establishment of appropriate limits of authority for the Board, the
Operating Committee and senior management for appropriate approval of transactions. There are
established policies on health and safety, employees training and development, staff performance and
evaluation. These procedures are relevant across the Group’s operations and provide for continuous
assurance to be given to management and, finally to the Board.
Enterprise Risk Management Framework
The risk management processes of the Group have been enhanced with the formation of a Risk
Management function, in July 2004, and a Risk Management Committee, in December 2004. The Risk
Management Committee is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and is responsible for communicating
to the Board/Audit Committee the critical risks the Group faces, their changes and the action plans to
manage these risks.
During the 2004 financial year, a series of meetings and workshops with key senior members of the
management were conducted to update the Risk Profile of the Group and to enhance their
understanding and knowledge of risk management. The key risks identified through this process were
subsequently consolidated and presented to the Risk Management Committee and Audit Committee for
their consideration in January and February 2005, respectively. Based on the Risk Profile, there will be
a requirement to submit quarterly management reports on the status of key risks to the Heads of
functions for reporting to the Group Risk Management Committee.
Work has commenced on compilation of a Risk Management Manual, which on completion and
endorsement by the Risk Management Committee will be issued to all employees with the purpose of
outlining the risk management framework of the Group and providing practical guidance on risk
management issues.
In 2005, the Risk Management function will undertake the following initiatives to further enhance the
risk management framework and control structure of the Group:
To further inculcate the risk management culture, a series of training and awareness sessions will be
conducted, targeting various levels of staff across all departments and disciplines.
A review and enhancement of the Group’s Business Continuity Plan will be initiated to identify the
critical business processes, systems and resources and to ensure that adequate plans are in place to
enable the Group to maintain operational and financial continuity in the event of adverse
circumstances.
Further enhancements to the Group’s risk management and system of internal control are planned
with reviews of the Group’s information security policies and practices and revenue assurance
processes, which are used to monitor potential revenue leakage that may arise during day to day
operations.

Internal Audit Function
The Group has in place an internal audit function, which assists the Board in conducting appropriate
reviews to ensure that key controls established by the Board and management are operating effectively
in order for the Board to achieve the objective of ensuring the adequacy and effectiveness of the system
of internal control.
Internal audit reviews the control processes implemented by the management, and reports to the Audit
Committee on a quarterly basis. Internal audit adopts a risk-based approach in the review of the
internal controls in the key activities of the Group’s businesses on the basis of an annual internal audit
plan that had been presented to and approved by the Audit Committee.
Weaknesses of Internal Controls that Result in Material Losses
There were no material losses incurred during the current financial year as a result of weaknesses in
internal control. Management continues to take measures to strengthen the control environment.

Malaysia has a rich oral tradition. Storytellers were
once powerful communicators who could influence the
community and share moral values. They have been
known to even change the destinies of kings and states.
The wayang kulit (puppet show) is just one form of
traditional storytelling in the country.

It is an unfortunate fact that,
as countries modernise and join the
growing homogenous global village,
their unique traditions tend to get
forgotten. DiGi is determined that this
should not happen in Malaysia. We
believe culture and heritage are national
assets that should be protected.
2004 was a significant year for DYM
because it marked the end of phase I of
this programme. In January 2005, DiGi
unveiled a new phase of the DiGi Yellow
Mobile, called DiGi’s Amazing Malaysians.
This promises to intensify our involvement
in heritage preservation by turning our
Since the DYM was launched in
2002, 11 culture workshops have been
held nationwide, attended by well over
1,100 children. As a result of DYM, DiGi
has become an integral part of the
cultural milieu in Malaysia.
Why did we choose culture? As a
mobile communications company, one
of our objectives is to build bridges to
connect people.
By the same token, we are
naturally drawn towards building
bridges that link our cultural past
to present, and even future.

Youth and Responsibility
Since 2002, DiGi has been holding
one-day D-Mobile Youth Forums at
which we invite college students and
young professionals, aged 18 to 24, to
discuss issues pertinent to the mobile
day-long workshops into three-month
training programmes. This way, we
believe the learning experience for the
children and youth will be deeper and
leave a lifelong impression.
To make the individual projects all
the more meaningful, underprivileged
children and youth will work towards
accomplishing a goal, such as establishing
a culture centre, or a wetlands park,
which will continue to improve the cultural
landscape in the long term.

Youth Forum held at the Hyatt Regency
Saujana, Subang, on December 4
focused on the social implications of
mobile technology.
The more than 120 youth assembled
acknowledged that mobile technology
has brought about numerous benefits
in terms of convenience and security of
always being in touch, plus easy access
to important news and information, but
noted that mobile etiquette could be
improved and the privacy rights of
individuals should be respected. At the
end of the forum, the youth produced
a set of resolutions on how this can be
achieved. These resolutions have been
sent to the Malaysian Communications
and Multimedia Commission.

Health and Social Welfare
Although youth and culture are the
foci of our CSR programmes, DiGi also
contributes towards the well-being of
the nation as and when the occasion
arises.
In August, we sponsored a cancer
awareness fund-raising event, the
Yellow Balloon Race, organised by the
National Cancer Society of Malaysia.
And, following the December 2004
tsunami, DiGi launched a nationwide
fund-raising campaign for the affected
families in a show of heartfelt sympathy
and support.
Festive Cheer
In 2004, DiGi celebrated Hari Raya,
Deepavali, Christmas and Chinese New
Year with underprivileged children, in
mini culture workshop environments
held at major shopping centres.
We organised DiGi’s Rays of Light
in conjunction with Deepavali at Sunway
Pyramid on October 23; Colours of Raya
– Hari Raya Aidilfitri at the Berjaya Times
Square on November 20; 12 Trees of
Christmas at the Bangsar Shopping
Centre on November 27; and Celebration
of Peace and Prosperity just before
Chinese New Year at the Berjaya
Times Square, on January 29.
At these events, children were
brought in and guided to produce works
of art which were then sold to DiGi
partners. The money raised was
channelled back to the children’s homes.
Via these functions, children, DiGi
volunteers and the general public all
shared in a joyous spirit of warmth and
giving.

Directors’ Report
for the year ended 31 December 2004 (continued)
Directors’ benefits
Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director of the Company has received nor become
entitled to receive any benefit (other than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments
received or due and receivable by Directors as shown in the financial statements or the fixed salary of
a full time employee of related corporations) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related
corporation with the Director or with a firm of which the Director is a member, or with a company in
which the Director has a substantial financial interest, other than those in the normal course of business
as disclosed in Note 24 to the financial statements.
There were no arrangements during and at the end of the financial year which had the object of
enabling Directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or
debentures of the Company or any other body corporate.
Issue of shares and debentures
There were no changes in the issued and paid-up capital of the Company during the financial year.
Options granted over unissued shares
No options were granted to any person to take up unissued shares of the Company during the year.
Other statutory information
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took
reasonable steps to ascertain that:
i)
all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and
ii) all current assets have been stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i)
that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful
debts, in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial
extent, or
ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group
and of the Company misleading, or
iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities
of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or
iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount
stated in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.
DiGi AR 04

At the date of this report, there does not exist:
i)
any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the
financial year and which secures the liabilities of any other person, or
ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of
the financial year.
No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely
to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in
the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company
to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the Directors, the results of the operations of the Group and of the Company for the
financial year ended 31 December 2004 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction
or event of a material and unusual nature nor has any such item, transaction or event occurred in the
interval between the end of that financial year and the date of this report.

Report of the auditors to the members of DiGi.Com Berhad
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 70 to 101. The preparation of the financial
statements is the responsibility of the Company’s Directors.
It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on the financial statements and
to report our opinion to you, as a body, in accordance with section 174 of the Companies Act 1965 and for
no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
We conducted our audit in accordance with approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. These
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain all the information and explanations
which we consider necessary to provide us with evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes an
assessment of the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Directors as well
as evaluating the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements. We
believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion:
(a) the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies
Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair
view of:
i) the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 31 December 2004 and the results of
their operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and
ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Company; and
(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 to be kept
by the Company and its subsidiaries have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of
the said Act.
We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the
Company’s financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and
explanations required by us for those purposes.
The audit reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification
and did not include any comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

Notes to the Financial Statements
31 December 2004
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
The following accounting policies are adopted by the Group and the Company and are consistent
with those adopted in previous financial years.
(a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared on the historical cost
basis except as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and in compliance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia.
(b) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has
the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as
to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date that
control effectively ceases. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed are
included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition,
the fair values of the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in
the Group financial statements. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values
of the subsidiaries’ net assets is reflected as goodwill or reserve on consolidation as appropriate.
Intragroup transactions and balances and the resulting unrealised profits are eliminated on
consolidation. Unrealised losses resulting from intragroup transactions are also eliminated
unless cost cannot be recovered.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land and capital work-in-progress, are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Freehold land and capital
work-in-progress are stated at cost.
Depreciation
Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated. All other assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives except for leasehold land
and buildings which are amortised over their remaining leasehold period.
The principal annual rates used are as follows:
Leasehold land and buildings
Freehold buildings
Motor vehicles
Computer systems
Furniture and fittings
Telecommunications network
30 to 99 years
2.0%
20.0%
20.0%
10.0%
10.0%
(d) Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are held for long term and are stated at cost. Such investments
are only written down when the Directors are of the opinion that there is a diminution in their
values which is other than temporary.
(e) Capitalisation of borrowing costs
Interest incurred in connection with financing the construction and installation of property,
plant and equipment, if any, is capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use.
(f) Impairment
The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories and financial assets (other than
investment in subsidiaries), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable
amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an
asset or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
DiGi AR 04
08/04/05
3:46hin
Page 77
(f) Impairment (continued)
The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. In
assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using
a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent
cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine
the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss has been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and are determined on a
weighted average basis. The costs of trading merchandise comprise purchase costs and other
incidental costs incurred in bringing these merchandise to their present condition and location.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand, balances and deposits with licensed banks
and financial institutions. For the purpose of the cash flow statements, cash and cash
equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts, if any.
(i) Income tax
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is
recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised
directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax
rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax
payable in respect of previous years.

DiGi AR 04

08/04/05
3:46hin
Page 78
(i) Income tax (continued)
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Temporary differences are not recognised for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the
initial recognition of assets or liabilities that at the time of the transaction affects neither
accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected
manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax
rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
(j) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at rates approximating
those ruling at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the foreign
exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising from translation are
recognised in the income statement.
The closing rates used in the translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are
as follows:

(k) Revenue
(i) Goods sold and services rendered
Net revenue include all sales of goods and services, net of rebates and discounts. Revenue
are recognised when goods are delivered or services are rendered. Revenue from the
prepaid cards that have been sold to customers but where services have not been rendered
at the balance sheet date is deferred.
DiGi AR 04

Page 79
(k) Revenue (continued)
(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues taking into account the
effective yield on the asset.
(l) Expenses
(i) Operating leases
Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are
retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating
leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement
on the straight line basis over the lease period.
When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment
required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the
period in which termination takes place.
(ii) Financing costs
All interest and other ancillary costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed
as incurred except for those as mentioned in Notes 1(e) and 1(n)(ii).
(m)Intangible asset
Intangible asset comprises a fee paid during the financial period ended 31 December 2001 for
the provision of technology and transfer of technical know-how pursuant to a technical
services agreement signed between the Company and Telenor Mobile Communications AS, a
wholly owned subsidiary of Telenor ASA, its ultimate holding company.
The fee paid is amortised on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the
telecommunications license of fifteen years.

(n) Deferred expenditure
(i) License fees
License fees are capitalised and amortised over the period of the licenses.
(ii) Ancillary costs of borrowings
Costs specifically incurred to obtain new funding for the purpose of retiring existing loans
and finance further network expansion are deferred and amortised over the tenor of the
new loans. Any unamortised portion will be written off proportionately as and when there
is a prepayment of the outstanding loans or lapsed or cancellation of any undrawn loans
amount.
(o) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts.
Bad debts are written off in the year in which these are identified. Allowances are made for
doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding balances at the year end.
(p) Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefit
Wages, salaries and bonuses are recognised as expenses in the year in which the
associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating
compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are
rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences.
Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised
when absences occur. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be
material, these amounts are stated at their present values.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in
the income statement as incurred.
DiGi AR 04
08/04/05

Page 81
(p) Employee benefits (continued)
(iii)Defined benefits plans
The Group operates an unfunded defined benefit plan for its eligible employees. The
benefits are calculated based on the length of service and the agreed percentages of
eligible employees’ salaries over the period of their employment and are payable upon
resignation after completion of minimum employment period of 10 years service or upon
retirement age of 55 years. The obligations under the retirement benefit scheme are
determined based on actuarial valuation by a qualified independent actuary on an annual
basis. That benefit is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method in order to
determine its present value. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or
expense over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees
when cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains or losses exceed 10% of the higher of the
present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Where
there are any improvements in benefits for the plan, past service cost is recognised
immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised
on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested.
The amount recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined
benefit obligations adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and losses, if any, and
unrecognised past service cost. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the
net total of any unrecognised actuarial losses and past service cost, and the present value
of any economic benefits in the form of refunds or reductions in future contributions to the
plan.
(q) Liabilities
Borrowings and trade and other payables are stated at cost.

Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
In the normal course of conducting its business activities, the Group is exposed to a variety of
financial risks, which include credit, currency, liquidity and interest rate risk. The Group’s overall
risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects of these risks on the
financial performance of the Group.
Credit risk
The Group’s credit risk arises in the normal course of business primarily with respect to trade and
other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk is managed through formalised
policies on credit assessment and approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Deposits are
placed only with licensed banks and financial institutions.
The maximum credit risk exposure in respect of trade receivables is limited to the carrying value
of the receivables less allowance for doubtful debts as stated in the financial statements, whereas,
the maximum exposure for other receivables, cash and cash equivalents are the reported carrying
value in the financial statements.
At balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of transactions denominated in foreign
currency arising from the normal business activities and borrowings. The currency giving rise to
this risk is primarily US dollars. Exposure to foreign currency risk is monitored on an ongoing basis
and when considered necessary, the Group will consider using effective financial instruments to
hedge its foreign currency risk.
Liquidity risk
The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by
management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rates risk primarily from the deposit placements and interestbearing financial liabilities. The Group manages its interest rate risk for the interest-earning
deposit placements by placing such balances on varying maturities and interest rate terms.
The Group’s policy in dealing with interest-bearing financial liabilities is to minimise the interest
expense by obtaining the most favourable interest rates available and by using a mix of fixed and
floating rate debts.

Fair value
The following methods and assumptions are used to determine the fair value of each of the financial
assets or liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate their values:
i)
Cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and payables
The carrying values of these amounts approximate their fair values due to their short term
nature.
ii)
Trade receivables and payables
The carrying values of these amounts approximate their fair values because these are subject
to normal trade credit terms and their short term nature.
iii) Amount due from a subsidiary
No disclosure of fair value is made for amount due from a subsidiary as it is not practicable to
determine its fair value with sufficient reliability given this balance has no fixed terms of
repayment.

The fair value of the senior secured credit facilities, a portion of which was obtained on a fixed rate
has been determined by discounting the relevant cash flows using current interest rates for similar
instruments at the balance sheet date. Apart from this fixed rate loan, the fair values of all the
other loans are their carrying amounts as their interest rates are on floating rate basis.
26. Event subsequent to the balance sheet date
Subsequent to year end, the telecommunication subsidiary company had made a partial
prepayment amounting to RM300.0 million proportionately on all its credit facilities outstanding as
at 31 December 2004 out of its excess cash available.
