Chairman’s Statement
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I hereby present to you the Annual
Report and Financial Statements of Halifax Capital Berhad and the
Group for the financial year ended 31st December 2006.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHT
The Group revenue for the 12 months ended 31 December 2006 was
RM 11.6 million, an increase of 23.4% from RM9.4 million recorded in
previous financial year. The Group registered net loss of RM2.4 million
for the year which represented slight improvement of 17.2% as compared
to RM2.9 million in year 2005.
The financial transactions of 2006 are mainly derived from the current
assembly business which has shown slight improvement in turnover
but still far meeting its break-even point.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
The above performance had been recurrent for the past few years mainly due to stiff competition in the marketplace. Under
such unfavourable situation, the Company had taken a total review of its business strategies in order to re-position the Group
to succeed and improve its performance.
The main focus for year 2006 was mainly on exploring new business opportunities to attain sustainable growth whilst at the
same time continuous consolidation efforts on the current assembly operations were carried out to contain cost. Critical to
the company’s survival is the identification of a good on-going asset to be injected into the Group.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
On 8 May 2006, the Company was designated under the category of Amended Practice Note 17 by Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad pursuant to Paragraph 8.14C and Paragraph 2.1(a) of Practice Note no. 17/2005 of the Listing Requirements.
The Company is now classified as an affected listed issuer and is required to submit a comprehensive proposal of the
Company’s restructuring scheme to the regulatory authorities within 8 months from the date of the classification for approval.
As stipulated by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, this Regularisation Plan must address all the issues that affect the
financial performance of the Group.
Although the Company was not able to submit the Regularisation Plan within the time stipulated, it had obtained extension of
time for submission until 6th June 2007.
The Directors are currently in the process of finalising the scheme for submission to the regulatory authorities.
12
Chairman’s Statement [cont’d]
OUTLOOK & PROSPECTS
Upon approval and implementation of the Regularisation Plan, the Group expects the scheme would address the current
financial issues faced. In the meantime, the Group will continue to proceed with its existing business until such suitable time
for a complete review of the existing assembly line business.
With the Proposed Regularisation Plan in place, the Board of Directors is confident of better performance in the forthcoming
years.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors does not recommend any dividend payment for the year.
APPRECIATION
The Group successfully endured a challenging past year with the strong support from various internal and external parties.
For this, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the government departments and
agencies, financiers, suppliers, business associates and shareholders for their continued support, confidence and invaluable
contribution to the Group.
I would also like to convey my sincere appreciation to the management and staff for their continuous contribution, dedication
and commitment.

Pursuant To Section 169(15) Of The Companies Act, 1965
28
We have audited the financial statements set out on pages 29 to 63. These financial statements are 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 applicable Approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the directors,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion:
(a) the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965
and applicable MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other Than Private Entities so as to give
a true and fair view of:
(i) the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2006 and of the results and the cash
flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended; and
(ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements; and
(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and by its subsidiaries
have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the financial statements of
the Company 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 auditors' reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not include any
comment required to be made under Section 174(3) of the Act.
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to:
(i) Note 3.1 to the financial statements which indicates that the Group and Company has incurred a net loss of RM2,440,000
(2005: RM2,906,000) and RM3,772,000 (2005: RM2,364,000) respectively for the year ended 31 December 2006 and,
as of that date, the Group's and the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RM10,224,000 (2005:
RM7,482,000) and RM9,805,000 (2005: RM6,240,000) respectively; and
(ii) Note 1 to the financial statements which discloses that the Company is an affected issuer under PN17/2005 vide its
announcement to Bursa Malaysia on 8 May 2006 and the Board of Directors of the Company has proposed to implement
the proposed restructuring scheme as detailed in Note 27 to the financial statements.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt on the ability of the Group and the
Company to continue as a going concern, which is dependent on the timely and successful approval and implementation of the
proposed restructuring scheme, achieving future profitable operations and generating positive cash flows.
The financial statements of the Group and the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the amounts and classifica-
tion of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Group and the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of these principal activities during the financial year.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the
directors on 25 April 2007.
2. CHANGE OF COMPANY’S NAME
On 28 June 2006, the Company changed its name from Setron (Malaysia) Bhd. to Halifax Capital Berhad.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Basis of Preparation
The financial statements comply with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable MASB Approved
Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other Than Private Entities. At the beginning of the current financial
year, the Group and the Company had adopted all new and revised FRSs which are mandatory for financial
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006 as described in Note 3.3.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have also been prepared on a historical basis, except
for freehold land and buildings included within property, plant and equipment that have been measured at its fair
values.
The Group and Company has incurred a net loss of RM2,440,000 (2005: RM2,906,000) and RM3,772,000 (2005:
RM2,364,000) respectively for the year ended 31 December 2006 and, as of that date, the Group's and the
Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RM10,224,000 (2005: RM7,482,000) and RM9,805,000
(2005: RM6,240,000) respectively. The Company is in the process of finalising and submitting its proposed
restructuring scheme as detailed in Note 27. The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been
prepared on a going concern basis as the Board of Directors are of the view that the scheme will be approved and
implemented on a timely and sucessful manner.
The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM) and all values are rounded to the nearest
thousand (RM’000) except when otherwise indicated.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [cont’d]
3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the financial and operating
policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting
rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the
Group has such power over another entity.
In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less
impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds
and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss.
(ii) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared
for the same reporting date as the Company.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group
obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing
the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or
losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial
statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method
of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired
and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given,
liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to
the acquisition.
Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Any excess of the Group’s
interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the
cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by
the Group. It is measured at the minorities’ share of the fair value of the subsidiaries’ identifiable
assets and liabilities at the acquisition date and the minorities’ share of changes in the subsidiaries’
equity since then.
(b) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation
All items of plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's
carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future
economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Capital-work-in-progress is not depreciated as these assets are not available for use.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment except for freehold land are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [cont’d]
3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [cont’d]
(b) Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation [cont’d]
Freehold land and buildings are stated at revalued amount, which is the fair value at the date of the
revaluation less any accumulated impairment losses. Fair value is determined from market-based evidence
by appraisal that is undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. Revaluations are performed with sufficient
regularity to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from that which would
be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date.
Any revaluation reserve included within equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease
for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit
or loss to the extent of the decrease previously recognised. A revaluation deficit is first offset against
unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus in respect of the same asset and the balance is
thereafter recognised in profit or loss. Upon disposal or retirement of an asset, any revaluation reserve
relating to the particular asset is transferred directly to retained earnings.
Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Depreciation of other property,
plant and equipment is provided for on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual
value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates:
Buildings 2%
Plant and machinery 10% - 20%
Equipment, furniture and fittings and motor vehicles 10% - 33 1/3%
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected
pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and
equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any
and the net carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss and the unutilised portion of the revaluation
surplus on that item is taken directly to retained earnings.
(c) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets 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 to determine the amount of impairment loss.
For goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for
use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date or more frequently when indicators
of impairment are identified.
For the purpose of impairment testing of these assets, recoverable amount is determined on an individual
asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from
other assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit (CGU) to
which the asset belongs to. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date,
allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those
units or groups of units.
36
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [cont’d]
3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [cont’d]
(c) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets [cont’d]
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its
value in use. In assessing value in use, the 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. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount,
the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses
recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any
goodwill allocated to those units or groups of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other
assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost is determined using the first in, first out method. The cost of raw materials comprises costs of purchase.
The costs of finished goods and work-in-progress comprise costs of raw materials, direct labour, other
direct costs and appropriate proportions of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated
costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(e) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual
arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability,
are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity
are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable
right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
(i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
at bank, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
(ii) Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified.
An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all oustanding amounts as at the
balance sheet date.
(iii) Payables
Payables are stated at the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and
services received.
(iv) Interest Bearing Borrowings
All borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less directly
attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing borrowings are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(e) Financial Instruments [cont’d]
(v) Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
(vi) Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are not recognised in the financial statements.
(f) Leases
(i) Classification
A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance
leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of
land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. All leases
that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operating leases, with
the following exceptions:
Land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured
separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted
for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating
lease.
(ii) Finance leases - the Group as Lessee
Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the
lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of
the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The corresponding liability is
included in the balance sheet as borrowings. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease
payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practicable to
determine; otherwise, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Any initial direct costs
are also added to the carrying amount of such assets.
Lease payments are apportioned between the finance costs and the reduction of the outstanding
liability. Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and
the fair value of the assets acquired, are recognised in the profit or loss over the term of the relevant
lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations
for each accounting period.
The depreciation policy for lease assets is in accordance with that for depreciable property, plant
and equipment as described in Note 3.2(b).
(iii) Operating Leases - the Group and Lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of
the relevant lease. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a
reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [cont’d]
(f) Leases [cont’d]
(iv) Operating Leases - the Group as Lessor
Assets leased out under operating leases are presented on the balance sheets according to the
nature of the assets. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis
over the term of the relevant lease (Note 3.2(k)(ii). Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and
arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(g) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(h) Income Tax
Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected
amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and is measured using the tax
rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised
for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary
differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will
be available 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 an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business
combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised as income or an expense and included in the profit or loss
for the period, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also recognised directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is
an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or the amount of any
excess of the acquirer's interest in the net fair value of the acquiree's indentifiable assets, liabilities over
the cost of the combination.
(i) Provisions for Liabilities
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,
and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date
and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to
the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised
as finance cost.
Provision for restructuring costs is recognised when a detailed and formal restructuring plan has been
approved, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been announced publicly. Costs relating to
ongoing activities are not provided for.

3.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [cont’d]
(j) Employee Benefits
(i) Short Term Benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the
year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. 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 the absences occur.
(ii) Defined Contribution Plans
Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed
contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay
further contributions if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits
relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are
recognised as an expense in the profit or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia
make such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”).
(k) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met
before revenue is recognised:
(i) Sale of goods
Revenue is recognised net of sales taxes and upon transfer of significant risks and rewards of
ownership to the buyer. Revenue is not recognised to the extent where there are significant
uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the possible return
of goods.
(ii) Rental income
Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(l) Foreign Currencies
(i) Functional and Presentation Currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The
consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is also the
Company’s functional currency.
(ii) Foreign Currency Transactions
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than
the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded in the functional currencies using
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary
items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet
date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary
items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

included in profit or loss for the period.
3.3 Changes in Accounting Policies, Effects and Changes in Comparatives Arising from Adoption of New
and Revised FRSs
In addition to the Group and the Company having adopted all new and revised FRSs mandatory for its operations,
for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006, the Group has also taken the option of early adoption
of the new and revised FRS 117: Leases
The adoption of the entire revised FRS above did not result in significant changes in accounting policies or any
other significant impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following FRSs, amendments to FRS and
Interpretations were issued but not yet effective and have not been applied by the Group and the Company:

for the year. The domestic statutory tax rate will be reduced to 27% from the current year’s rate of 28%, effective year of
assessment 2007 and to 26% effective year of assessment 2008. The computation of deferred tax as at 31 December

The Group’s primary exposure to credit risk arises through its trade receivables. The Group’s trading terms with
its customers are mainly on credit. The credit period is generally for a period of one month, extending up to three
months for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. The Group seeks to maintain strict
control over its outstanding receivables and has a credit control department to minimise credit risk. Overdue
balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing.
As at balance sheet date, the Company has significant concentration of credit risk in the form of outstanding
balance due from 2 (2005: 4) customers representing 78% (2005:81%) of total trade debtors.
(b) Amounts due from a subsidiary - other receivables
Amounts due from a subsidiary under other receivables are non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. All
subsidiary receivables are unsecured and are to be settled in cash.

22. OTHER RESERVES [cont’d]
The nature and purpose of each category of reserve are as follows:
(a) Asset revaluation reserve
The asset revaluation reserve is used to record increases in the fair value of freehold land and buildings and
decreases to the extent that such decreases relates to an increase on the same asset previously recognised to
equity.
(b) Capital reserve
Capital reserve arose from a bonus issue in a subsidiary company via the capitalisation of retained earnings in
prior years.
23. MINORITY INTERESTS
The minority shareholders' share of loss in certain subsidiaries is limited to their share of the paid up capital of these
subsidiaries. The balance of the loss will be borne by the Group until such time that these subsidiaries are able to
generate profits. The minority shareholders had shared losses up to their share of paid up capital of these subsidiaries
of approximately RM450,000 (2005: RM450,000).
The minority shareholders' share of loss during the year and cumulative losses which are borne by the Group are
approximately RM11,000 (2005: RM4,000) and RM11,247,000 (2005: RM11,236,000) respectively.

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company had on 4 January 2007, announced the following Proposed Restructuring Scheme ("Proposal") to
regularise its financial condition pursuant to Practice Note 17/2005:
(i) Proposed Capital Reconstruction;
The existing issued and paid-up share capital of Halifax of RM62,833,333 comprising 62,833,333 ordinary
shares of RM1.00 each as at 31 December 2006 will be reduced pursuant to Section 64 of the Companies Act,
1965 to RM40,841,666 comprising 62,833,333 ordinary shares of RM0.65 each by way of cancellation of
RM0.35 of the par value of each existing ordinary share of RM1.00 each in Halifax in issue.
The share capital amount of any new ordinary shares to be issued arising from exercise of the existing 12,566,666
Warrants 2004/2014 prior to the implementation of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction, if any shall also be
reduced and cancelled accordingly. The credit of approximately RM21,992,000 after the Proposed Share Capital
Reduction would be utilised to reduce the accumulated losses of the Group.
Upon completion of the Proposed Share Capital Reduction, every ten (10) ordinary shares of RM0.65 each in
Halifax will be consolidated into one (1) ordinary share of RM6.50 each, and subsequently subdivided into
thirteen (13) ordinary shares of RM0.50 each.
(ii) Proposed Cancellation of Share Premium Account;
The entire share premium account will be cancelled pursuant to Section 64(1)(b) of the Act and the credit of
approximately RM9,521,000 after the Proposed cancellation of Share Premium Account would be utilised to
reduce the accumulated losses of the Group.
(iii) Proposed Renounceable Rights Issue with Warrants;
The Proposed Renounceable Rights issue with Warrants involves the issuance of up to 49,009,999 new ordinary
shares of RM0.50 (Rights Shares) on the basis of five (5) new Rights shares with one (1) free detachable
Warrants for every ten (10) existing shares held after the Proposed Capital Reconstruction at an indicative
issue price of RM0.50 per Rights Share to the entitled shareholders.
A maximum of 49,009,999 Rights Shares have been arrived at based on the enlarged issued and paid-up
share capital of Halifax of RM49,009,999 comprising 98,019,998 ordinary shares of RM0.50 each after the
Proposed Capital Reconstruction (assuming all the existing Warrants 2004/2014 are exercised prior to the books
closure date for the Proposed renounceable Rights Issue with Warrants)
Assuming that none of the existing Warrants 2004/2014 are exercised prior to the books closure date for the
Proposed Capital Reconstruction and Proposed Renounceable Rights issue with Warrants, 40,841,666 Rights
Shares would be issued.
(iv) Proposed Joint Venture in Boat Building Business;
The Proposed Joint Venture would be undertaken via the joint venture Company, namely Halifax Marine Services
Sdn. Bhd. ("HMS"). The parties to the Joint Venture agree to jointly via and under HMS to develop, construct,
erect, finance, manage and operate the shipyard for the building of boats and similar vessels. The parties to the
Joint Venture would be Halifax Capital Berhad ("HCB") and Mr Pong Leung Swee ("PLS") for which the proposed
shareholdings are 51% (1,020,000 shares) and 49% (980,000 shares) respectively.

(iv) Proposed Joint Venture in Boat Building Business; [cont’d]
HCB estimates that the Proposed Joint Venture would require a development cost of approximately RM4,500,000
which would be funded by a combination of equity capital in HMS and bank borrowings. Total investment of HCB
in the Proposed Joint Venture via HMS would be RM1,020,000 being the Company's 51% equity participation in
HMS funded by internal funds and bank borrowings.
(v) Proposed Acquisition of 60% Equity Interests in Semaring Offshore Services Sdn. Bhd. and Semaring
Enterprise Sdn. Bhd.
On 7 February 2007, Halifax Capital Berhad had entered into a Share Sale Agreement for the proposed acquisi-
tion of Semaring Enterprise Sdn. Bhd. ("SESB") and Semaring Offshore Sdn. Bhd. ("SOSSB") to be satisfied by
the following:
(a) cash amounting to RM1,600,000 for SESB and RM7,360,000 for SOSSB; and
(b) issue of 800,000 and 3,680,000 new ordinary share of RM0.50 each for SESB and SOSSB respectively,
representing approximately 5% of the enlarged issue and paid-up share capital of Halifax Capital Berhad.
The Proposed Restructuring Scheme is pending submission and the Group has in fact been given an extension
of time to 6 June 2007 to submit to the relevant authorities.
28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policy
The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available
for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its interest rate risks (both fair value and cash
flow), foreign currency risk, liquidity risk and credit risks. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks and they are summarised below. It is, and has been throughout the year under review, the
Group's policy that no trading in derivative financial instruments shall be undertaken.
(b) Interest Rate Risk
Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument
will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. As the Group has no interest-bearing financial assets, the
Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair
value interest rate risk. The Group manages its interest rate exposure by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating
rate borrowings.

The other financial instruments of the Group and the Company that are not included in the above tables are not
subject to interest rate risks.
(c) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group is exposed to transactional currency risk primarily through sales and purchases that are denominated
in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate.
The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily United States Dollars (USD) and Singapore Dollar (SGD).
Foreign exchange exposures in transactional currencies other than functional currencies of the operating entities
are kept to an acceptable level.
(d) Liquidity Risk
The Group manages its debt maturity profile, operating cash flows and the availability of funding so as to ensure
that refinancing, repayment and funding needs are met. As part of its overall liquidity management, the Group
maintains sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments to meet its working capital requirements. In
addition, the Group strives to maintain available banking facilities at a reasonable level to its overall debt position.
As far as possible, the Group raises committed funding from both capital markets and financial institutions and
balances its portfolio with some short term funding so as to achieve overall cost effectiveness.
(e) Credit Risk
The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables. The Group trades only with recognised and
creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject
to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis and the
Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional
currency of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the
Head of Credit Control. Since the Group trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no
requirement for collateral.
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, and non-current
investments, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of
these financial assets.
As at balance sheet date, the Company has significant concentration of credit risk in the form of outstanding
balance due from 2 (2005: 4) customers representing 78% (2005:81%) of total trade debtors.

28. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [cont’d]
(f) Fair Values
The aggregate net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities which are not carried at fair value on the
balance sheets of the Company as at the end of the financial year are amounts due (to)/from subsidiaries. It is not
practical to estimate the fair value of amounts due (to)/from subsidiaries due principally to a lack of fixed repayment
term entered by the parties involved and without incurring excessive costs.
The methods and assumptions used by management to determine fair values of financial instruments other than
those whose carrying amounts reasonably approximate their fair values are as follows:
(i) Cash and Cash equivalents, Receivables/Payables and Short Term Borrowings
The carrying amounts approximate fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these financial
instruments.
(ii) Borrowings
The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using the current
interest rates for liabilities with similar risk profiles.
