One such journey began in a year that challenged our faith–1998. Our faith in rebuilding confidence in our economy and our markets after the financial crisis of 1997. In 1998, the question was: Do we still have faith? Do we only see markets as they are, without seeing how they were, how they may yet become? Through the challenges and changes of the intervening years, some may have lost a little of that faith. For others, faith took time to restore. However, there were enough of us amongst industry and market participants who decided to take action in order for others to continue to have faith in us, in our markets and our economy. Dato’ Mohammed Azlan Hashim Executive Chairman With the objective of restoring confidence, strengthening the securities industry and capital market and maintaining a competitive position internationally, a series of actions were undertaken for the securities industry and capital market in the intervening years commencing in 1998 leading to the demutualisation of the exchange in January 2004. 12 13 K U A L A L U M P U R S T O C K E X C H A N G E B E R H A D A N N U A L R E P O R T The performance of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) in the financial year ended 31 Thus, a journey begun in times of uncertainty and doubt, came to a close in a year December 2003 underscored the key initiatives implemented thus far.

Am-Macquarie Sovereign Plus Fund Open-Ended Funds Macquarie Investment Services Limited Primary 23 May 2003 5,201,500 AmInternational (Labuan) Limited 13. Redeemable Exchangeable Bonds Debt Securities Prime Venture (L) Limited Secondary 30 Dec 2003 300,000,000 Am-MacQuarie Sovereign Plus Fund is issued and managed by MacQuarie Investment Services Limited, operating within Macquarie Funds Management, and is part of the Macquarie Bank Group, an Australian investment bank. The fund is an open-ended fund with a maximum size of AUD40m (approximately USD20m) and it further enhanced LFX’s position as an USD300.0 million exchangeable notes issue through its Labuan incorporated subsidiary, Prime Venture (Labuan) Limited (PVL). With the latest listing, there are 13 instruments listed on LFX to date, comprising three Syariah compliant certificates (Sukuk), Listing Class Secondary six investment funds and four conventional debt instruments and exchangeable bonds, with a total market capitalisation of USD2.26 billion. Throughout the year, LFX continued taking steps to enhance its competitive edge. The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Bahrain Stock Exchange (BSE) to facilitate the dual listings of instruments on both exchanges and exchange of information of listed products will further assist in promoting LFX amongst the Middle-East countries, besides increasing visibility of the instruments by having dual listings on both exchanges. This was evidenced by the recent listing on the BSE of the USD600 million Malaysia Global Sukuk which had a secondary listing on the LFX in 2002. This will be reciprocated in the near future with listings of Sukuks issued by Bahrain authorities on the LFX. Further efforts by LFX to tap into the Middle-East market, is the pending establishment of a formal working relationship between LFX and the Bahrain-based International Islamic Financial Market (IIFM). This will further enhance LFX’s status as being one of the leading offshore exchanges in the world of Islamic finance. LFX also hopes to establish more formal working arrangements with other offshore exchanges worldwide as it seeks to be recognised as the offshore exchange in Asia, thus bridging the gap between the investors in other parts of the world and Asia. Besides creating awareness and interest in LFX, this will hopefully enhance the breadth and depth of the financial instruments listed on LFX. More innovative instruments, based on either conventional or Syariah principles, issued by the public and private sectors, locally and internationally are also expected to be listed, such as the Sukuk and Labuan Depository Receipts. Being a customer-friendly and market-driven exchange, LFX is always looking into ways to provide added value to its customers. With this in mind, LFX is also enhancing its clearing and settlement capabilities by creating a link between LFX and other international clearing and settlement systems, thus catering to a more global trading environment. In addition, the appointment of a second service provider for the depository and settlement services for LFX will also be completed soon.

(g) Provisions for Liabilities Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group or the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of the money is material, the amount of the provision differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation. against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of (h) Employee Benefits an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting surplus nor taxable surplus. (i) Short term benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary items initially denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at The Group operates a funded, defined benefit Retirement Benefit Scheme ("the Scheme") for its eligible employees. historical cost are translated using the historical rate as of the date of acquisition and non monetary items which are The Group's obligations under the Scheme are determined based on actuarial valuation where the amount of benefit carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when the values were determined.

Actuarial gains or losses are recognised as income or expense over ten years when the cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains or losses for The USD denominated financial statements of a subsidiary is translated at year-end exchange rate with respect to the the Scheme at the end of the previous financial year exceed 10% of the higher of the present value of the defined assets and liabilities, and at the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions with respect to the income statement. All benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the resulting translation differences are included in the foreign exchange reserve. benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested. Previously, actuarial gains and losses are recognised in full as income or expense in the financial year they arise. This change in accounting policy is not applied retrospectively as the amounts relating to prior years are not reasonably determinable. The amount recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and losses and unrecognised past service cost, and reduced by the fair value of plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the net total of any unrecognised actuarial losses and past Goodwill and fair value adjustment arising on the acquisition of the USD denominated subsidiary are treated as assets and liabilities of the Group and translated at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the acquisition. The exchange rate ruling for USD denominated balances at both balance sheet dates is RM3.80: USD1.00.
