MALAYSIAN TITANIUM CORPORATION SDN. BHD.
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The Company is principally involved in the manufacturing of synthetic
rutile and its related products.
There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity
during the financial period.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS
The accounts of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and the applicable approved
accounting standards of the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accounts of the Company have been prepared under the historical
cost convention.
Depreciation of Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated while
long-term leasehold land is amortised evenly over the period of the
lease. Plant and machinery is depreciated based on units of
production over the plant's normal capacity for an estimated life of
15 years.
Depreciation of other fixed assets is computed using the straight-
line method at the following annual rates based on the estimated
useful lives of the various assets:
Buildings 2%
Motor vehicles 20%
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 15 - 20%
11
Associated Company
An associated company is a company in which the Company has a long-
term equity investment of 20% to 50% and where the Company is in a
position to exercise significant influence through management
participation.
The Company has an equity interest of 40% (40% in 1999) in an
associated company, Fluid Minerals Espanola (FME) (a company
incorporated in Spain), whose principal activity is manufacturing and
sales of hitox pigment.
Investment in associated company is stated at cost unless, in the
opinion of the directors, there is a permanent diminution in the
value of investment in which case provision is made for the
diminution in value.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined on the "weighted average" method.
Cost of raw materials, consumables and trading goods comprise the
original purchase price plus cost of bringing these stocks to
location. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress include the
cost of raw materials and an appropriate allocation of labour cost
and manufacturing overheads.
Capitalisation of Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs incurred on the acquisition and construction of fixed
assets which require a substantial period of time to get them ready
for their intended use are capitalised and included as part of cost
of the related assets.
Deferred Taxation
Provision is made using the liability method for taxation deferred by
capital allowances and other timing differences except to the extent
that it can be demonstrated with reasonable probability that the
timing differences will continue in the foreseeable future. Timing
differences giving rise to deferred tax benefits are not recognised.
12
Foreign Currency Conversion
All foreign currency transactions are converted into Ringgit Malaysia
at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates or,
where settlement has not yet taken place at the end of the financial
year, at the approximate exchange rates prevailing on that date.
All exchange gains or losses are taken up in the profit and loss
account.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Although the operations of the Company in the current and preceding

been subjected to tax. The tax benefits arising from such
utilisation is approximately RM374,000.

(RM25,513,000 at 30th June, 1999) respectively which can be carried
forward and utilised to set-off against future taxable profits.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE, 1999
(In Ringgit Malaysia)
28
MALAYSIAN TITANIUM CORPORATION SDN. BHD.
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
DIRECTORS' REPORT
The directors of MALAYSIAN TITANIUM CORPORATION SDN. BHD. have pleasure in
submitting their report and the audited accounts of the Company for the
financial year ended 30th June, 1999.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The Company is principally involved in the manufacturing of synthetic
rutile and its related products.
There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity during
the financial year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The results of operations of the Company for the financial year are as
follows:
Net profit RM3,306,207
Unappropriated profit at beginning of year 3,679,250
-----------
Unappropriated profit at end of year RM6,985,457
===========
In the opinion of the directors, the results of operations of the Company
during the financial year have not been substantially affected by any
item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.
DIVIDENDS
No dividend has been paid or declared by the Company since the end of the
previous financial year. The directors also do not recommend any dividend
payment in respect of the current financial year.
29
RESERVES AND PROVISIONS
There were no material transfers to or from reserves or provisions during
the financial year other than those disclosed in the Accounts.
ISSUE OF SHARES AND DEBENTURES
The Company has not issued any new shares or debentures during the
financial year.
SHARE OPTIONS
No options have been granted by the Company to any parties during the
financial year to take up unissued shares of the Company.
No shares have been issued during the financial year by virtue of the
exercise of any option to take up unissued shares of the Company. As at
the end of the financial year, there were no unissued shares of the
Company under options.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Before the profit and loss account and balance sheet of the Company were
made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the
writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for doubtful
debts, and have satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had
been written off and that adequate provision had been made for
doubtful debts; and
(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise
their book values in the ordinary course of business have been
written down to their estimated realisable values.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any
circumstances:
(a) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the
amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the accounts of the
Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or
(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the
accounts of the Company misleading; or
30
(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of
valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading
or inappropriate; or
(d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or accounts which would
render any amount stated in the accounts of the Company misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(a) any charge on the assets of the Company which has arisen since the
end of the financial year which secures the liability of any other
person; and
(b) any contingent liability of the Company which has arisen since the
end of the financial year.
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
financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may
substantially affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as
and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the directors, no item, transaction or event of a
material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of
the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect
substantially the results of operations of the Company for the financial
year in which this report is made.

MALAYSIAN TITANIUM CORPORATION SDN. BHD.
(Incorporated in Malaysia)
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The Company is principally involved in the manufacturing of synthetic
rutile and its related products.
There has been no significant change in the nature of this activity
during the financial year.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS
The accounts of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and the applicable approved
accounting standards of the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accounts of the Company have been prepared under the historical
cost convention.
Depreciation of Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated while
long-term leasehold land is amortised evenly over the period of the
lease. Plant and machinery is depreciated based on units of
production over the plant's normal capacity for an estimated life of
15 years.
Depreciation of other fixed assets is computed using the straight-
line method at the following annual rates based on the estimated
useful lives of the various assets:
Buildings 2%
Motor vehicles 20%
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 15 - 20%
39
Associated Company
An associated company is a company in which the Company has a long-
term equity investment of 20% to 50% and where the Company is in a
position to exercise significant influence through management
participation.
The Company has an equity interest of 40% (40% in 1998) in an
associated company, Fluid Minerals Espanola (FME) (a company
incorporated in Spain), whose principal activity is manufacturing and
sales of hitox pigment.
Investment in associated company is stated at cost unless, in the
opinion of the directors, there is a permanent diminution in the
value of investment in which case provision is made for the
diminution in value.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined on the "weighted average" method.
Cost of raw materials, consumables and trading goods comprise the
original purchase price plus cost of bringing these stocks to
location. Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress include the
cost of raw materials and an appropriate allocation of labour cost
and manufacturing overheads.
Capitalisation of Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs incurred on the acquisition and construction of fixed
assets which require a substantial period of time to get them ready
for their intended use are capitalised and included as part of cost
of the related assets.
Deferred Taxation
Provision is made using the liability method for taxation deferred
by capital allowances and other timing differences except to the
extent that it can be demonstrated with reasonable probability that
the timing differences will continue in the foreseeable future.
Timing differences giving rise to deferred tax benefits are not
recognised.
Foreign Currency Conversion
All foreign currency transactions are converted into Ringgit Malaysia
at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates or,
where settlement has not yet taken place at the end of the financial
year, at the approximate exchange rates prevailing on that date.
All exchange gains or losses are taken up in the profit and loss
account.
40
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value.

ISSUE OF SHARES AND DEBENTURES
At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 23rd June, 1997, the
shareholders approved a rights issue of 3,000,000 new ordinary shares
of RMI each at par on the basis of three (3) new ordinary shares for
every twenty-two (22) existing shares held. However, as at the date of
the report, 2,130,000 new ordinary shares of RMI each has been
subscribed. These new shares rank pari passu with the then existing
shares of the Company.
The Company has not issued any debentures during the financial year.
SHARE OPTIONS
No options have been granted by the Company to any parties during the
financial year to take up unissued shares of the Company.
No shares have been issued during the financial year by virtue of the
exercise of any option to take up unissued shares of the Company. As
at the end of the financial year, there were no unissued shares of the
Company under options.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Before the profit and loss account and balance sheet of the Company
were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(a) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the
writing off of bad debtsand the making of provision for doubtful
debts, and have satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had
been written off and that adequate provision had been made
fordoubtful debts; and
(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise
their book values in the ordinary course of business have been
written down to their estimated realisable values.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any
circumstances:
(a) which would render the amount written off for bad debts or the
amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the accounts of the
Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or
(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the
accounts of the Company misleading; or
59
(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method
of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading
or inappropriate; or
(d) not otherwise dealt with in this report or accounts which would
render any amount stated in the accounts of the Company
misleading.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(a) any charge on the assets of the Company which has arisen since
the end of the financial year which secures the liability of any
other person; and
(b) any contingent liability of the Company which has arisen since
the end of the financial year.
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 financial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or
may substantially affect the ability of the Company to meet its
obligations as and when they fall due.
In the opinion of the directors, no item, transaction or event of a
material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end
of the financial year and the date of this report which is likely to
affect substantially the results of operations of the Company for the
financial year in which this report is made.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The Company is principally involved in the manufacturing of
synthetic rutile.
There has been no significant change in the nature of this
activity during the financial year.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF ACCOUNTS
The accounts of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved
accounting standards.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The accounts of the Company have been prepared under the
historical cost convention.
Depreciation of Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated
while long-term leasehold land is amortised evenly over the
period of the lease. Plant and machinery is depreciated based on
units of production over the plant's normal capacity for an
estimated life of 15 years,
Depreciation of other fixed assets is computed using the straight-
line method at the following annual rates based on the estimated
useful lives of the various assets:
Buildings 2%
Mlotor vehicles 20%
Office equipment, furniture and fittings 15 - 20%
68
Associated Company
An associated company is a company in which the Company has a
long-term equity investment of 20% to 50% and where the Company
is in a position to exercise significant influence through
management participation.
The Company has an equity interest of 40% (40% in 1997) in an
associated company, Fluid Minerals Espanola (FME) (a company
incorporated in Spain), whose principal activity is manufacturing
and sales of hitox pigment.
Investment in associated company is stated at cost unless, in the
opinion of the directors, there is a permanent diminution in the
value of investment in which case provision is made for the
diminution in value.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined on the "weighted average" method.
Cost of raw materials, consurnables and trading goods comprise
the original purchase price plus cost of bringing these stocks to
location. Cost of finished goods and work-inprogress include the
cost of raw materials and an appropriate allocation of labour
cost and manufacturing overheads.
Capitalisation of Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs incurred on the acquisition and construction of
fixed assets which require a substantial period of time to get
them ready for their intended use are capitalised and included as
part of cost of the related assets.
Deferred Taxation
Provision is made using the liability method for taxation
deferred by capital allowances and other timing differences
except to the extent that it can be demonstrated with reasonable
probability that the timing differences will continue in the
foreseeable future. Timing differences giving rise to deferred
tax benefits are not recognised.
69
Foreign Currency Conversion
All foreign currency transactions are converted into Ringgit
Malaysia at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction
dates or, where settlement has not yet taken place at the end of
the financial year, at the approximate exchange rates prevailing
on that date. All exchange gains or losses are taken up in the
profit and loss account.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are
subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
