DIRECTORS’ REPORT

DIRECTORS’ BENEFITS

Neither at the end of the financial year, nor at any time during that year, did there subsist any arrangements to which the Company was a party, whereby the directors might acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the Company or any other body corporate.

Since the end of the previous financial year, no director has received or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than a benefit included in the aggregate amount of emoluments received or due and receivable by the directors as disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with any director or with a firm of which he is a member, or with a company in which he has a substantial financial interest.

DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS

According to the register of directors’ shareholdings, none of the directors in office at the end of the financial year had any interests in shares in the Company and its related corporations during the financial year.

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION

(a) Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:

(i) 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 satisfied themselves that there were no known bad debts and that adequate provision had been made for doubtful debts; and

(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their values as shown in the accounting records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

(b) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render:

(i) it necessary to write off any bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts inadequate to any substantial extent; and

(ii) the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.

(c) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

(d) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or financial statements of the Group and of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

(e) As at the date of this report, there does not exist:

(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or

(ii) any contingent liability of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 161 (10601-W)

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

(f) In the opinion of the directors:

(ii) 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 the operations of the Group or of the Company for the financial year in which this report is made.

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 so as to give a true and fair view of:

(i) the financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 31 March 2005 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 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 auditors’ reports on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification material to the consolidated financial statements and did not include any comment required to be made under Section 174 (3) of the Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 March 2005

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Company is principally engaged in the business of air transportation and the provision of related services. The principal activities of the subsidiaries are described in Note 30. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year.

The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and is listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The registered office of the Company is located at 33rd Floor, Bangunan MAS, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur.

The holding and ultimate holding companies of the Company are Penerbangan Malaysia Berhad (“PMB”) and Khazanah Nasional Berhad, respectively, both of which are incorporated in Malaysia.

The number of employees in the Group and in the Company at the end of the financial year were 22,513 (2004 : 20,789) and 20,087 (2004 : 18,712) respectively.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the directors on 30 May 2005.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated in the accounting policies below and comply with applicable MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia.

(b) Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.

(i) Revenue from Services

Passenger ticket and cargo airwaybill sales are recognised as revenue, net of discount, in the income statement when the transportation services are rendered. The value of unutilised tickets and airwaybills is included in current liabilities as sales in advance of carriage. Tickets and airwaybills that remain unutilised after 18 months subsequent to their respective date of issue are recognised in the income statement as unavailed credits on sales in advance of carriage.

The commission on passenger ticket and airwaybill sales is recognised in the income statement when the transportation services are rendered.

(ii) Engineering, Catering and Other Revenue

Engineering, catering and other revenue is recognised, net of discount, upon completion of services rendered.

(iii) Revenue from Hotel Operations

Revenue from room rental and other hotel services are recognised on accrual basis. Revenue from sale of food and beverage are recognised based on their invoiced value of goods sold.

(iv) Interest and Dividend Income

Interest income is recognised on accrual basis whilst dividend income is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive payment is established. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 171 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(c) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and where it has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits therefrom.

Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The assets and liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition and these values are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the cost of an acquisition and the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition is included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or negative goodwill arising on consolidation.

Intragroup transactions, balances and resulting unrealised gains are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only. Unrealised losses are eliminated on consolidation unless costs cannot be recovered.

The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group's share of its net assets together with any unamortised balance of goodwill and exchange differences.

Minority interests in the consolidated balance sheet consist of the minorities' share of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree as at the acquisition date and the minorities' share of movements in the acquiree's equity since then.

(d) Associated Companies

The Group treats as associated companies those companies in which the Group has a long term equity interest and is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the associated companies but not control over those policies.

Investments in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting based on the audited or management financial statements of the associated companies.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Group's share of post acquisition profits less losses of associated companies is included in the consolidated income statements. The Group's interest in associated companies is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus the Group's share of post- acquisition retained profits or accumulated losses and other reserves as well as goodwill on acquisition.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and the associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associated companies. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered.

The difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of net assets acquired is reflected as goodwill or reserve on acquisition and is not amortised. The carrying value of the goodwill is reviewed annually and is written down for impairment where it is considered necessary. 172 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(e) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associated Companies and Other Non-Current Investments

The investments in subsidiaries, associated companies and other non-current investments are stated at cost less impairment losses. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying value of the investment is reviewed, and if found to be in excess of recoverable amount, is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

(f) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, associates or jointly controlled entity at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is stated at cost less impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed at each balance sheet date and will be written down for impairment losses when it arises.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is presented separately in the balance sheet while goodwill arising on the acquisition of associates and jointly controlled entities is included within the respective carrying amounts of these investments.

Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary, associates or jointly controlled entity at the date of acquisition over the cost of acquisition.

To the extent that negative goodwill relates to expectation of future losses and expenses that are identified in the plan of acquisition and can be measured reliably, but which are not identifiable liabilities at the date of acquisition, that portion of negative goodwill is recognised in the income statement when the future losses and expenses are recognised.

(g) Foreign Currencies

(i) Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. At each balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at exchange rates ruling at that date unless hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts, in which case the rates specified in such forward contracts are used. Non-monetary items initially denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at historical cost are translated using the historical rate as of the date of acquisition and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when the values were determined. All exchange differences are taken to the income statement. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 173 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(g) Foreign Currencies (Contd.)

(ii) Foreign Entities

Financial statements of foreign associated companies are translated at year-end exchange rates with respect to the assets and liabilities, and at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions with respect to the income statement. All resulting translation differences are taken to equity.

The principal exchange rates used for every unit of foreign currency ruling at balance sheet date are as follows:

2005 2004 RM RM United States Dollar 3.8000 3.8000 Euro 4.9261 4.6440 Great Britain Pound 7.1840 6.9810 Japanese Yen 0.0355 0.0367 Singapore Dollar 2.2678 2.2703 Australian Dollar 2.9372 2.8967

(h) Aircraft Modifications/retrofits, Spare Engines, Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation of aircraft modifications/retrofits, spare engines, property and equipment is provided on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each asset up to its residual value over the estimated useful life at the following annual rates:

(i) Aircraft modifications/retrofits are depreciated over 7 years or the remaining life of the lease, whichever is lesser.

(ii) Spare engines are depreciated over their estimated useful commercial lives, which ranges from 7 to 15 years, having regard to their planned withdrawal from services.

(iii) Repairable and rotable aircraft spares are depreciated over the remaining lease period of the aircraft to which they relate.

(iv) Land and Buildings

Freehold land is not depreciated. Leasehold land is depreciated over the lease period, ranging from 60 to 99 years.

Buildings are depreciated over periods ranging from 5 to 40 years.

Certain leasehold land and buildings of the Company were revalued by the directors in 1985 based upon a valuation report dated 15 November 1984 prepared by the Government Valuers using the "Open Market Value" basis. The directors have not adopted a policy of regular revaluations of these assets. As permitted under the transitional provisions of International Accounting Standard No. 16 (Revised): Property, Plant and Equipment adopted by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board, these assets continue to be stated at their 1985 valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 174 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(h) Aircraft Modifications/retrofits, Spare Engines, Property and Equipment (Contd.)

(v) Hotel Properties

Hotel properties comprise land and the hotel buildings, including the integral plant and machinery.

No depreciation is provided on hotel properties. The directors are of the opinion that it is more appropriate not to depreciate hotel properties since it is the Company's practice to maintain all its hotel properties to a high standard and condition in order to maintain residual values at least equal to their respective book values such that depreciation would be insignificant. The related maintenance expenditures are dealt with in the income statement.

In order to establish whether hotel properties have maintained residual value at least equal to their respective book values, all hotel properties are appraised by independent professional valuers at least once in every three (3) years.

Surpluses arising from revaluation are dealt with in the Asset Revaluation Reserve. Any deficit arising is offset against the Asset Revaluation Reserve to the extent of a previous increase for the same property. In all other cases, a decrease in carrying amount is charged to the income statement.

Upon the disposal of an item of hotel properties, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

(vi) Operating Equipment, Office Equipment and Motor Vehicles

Depreciation is provided to the residual values of all operating equipment, office equipment and motor vehicles on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 2 to 10 years.

(vii) Progress Payments on Aircraft, Simulators and Properties Under Construction

Progress payments on aircraft, simulators and properties under construction are stated at cost and are not depreciated until the respective assets are ready for their intended use.

Where an indication of impairment of a category of asset exists, the carrying amount of the category of assets is revisited, and if found to be in excess of recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Upon the disposal of an item of aircraft modifications/retrofits, spare engines, property or equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the income statement.

(i) Inventories

Inventories comprising consumable aircraft spares, catering and other stores are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realisable value. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 175 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(j) 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, on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. 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 these 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.

(j) Income Tax (Contd.)

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 in the income statement, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited 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 negative goodwill.

(k) 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 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.

(ii) Defined Contribution Plans

As required by law, companies incorporated in Malaysia contribute to the state pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund. Retirement plans for employees of overseas stations are accrued for in accordance with the provisions of those foreign countries retirement schemes and are charged to income statements in the period to which they relate.

(l) Leases

(i) Finance Lease

Lease of assets under which the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are classified as finance leases.

The cost of assets acquired under finance lease agreements is capitalised. The depreciation policy on these assets is similar to that of the Group’s other assets as set out in (h) above. Outstanding obligations due under the lease agreements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities in the financial statements. The finance expenses are recognised in the income statement over the period of the respective agreements so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. 176 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(ii) Operating Lease

Lease of assets under which all the risks and benefits of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.

Lease rental payments on operating leases are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

(m) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date.

(n) Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and at bank and deposits at call and short term highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(o) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services rendered.

(p) Provisions for Liabilities

Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group and the Company have 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.

(q) Aircraft Maintenance and Overhaul Costs

The costs of maintenance and overhaul conducted using the Group's own resources and conducted outside the Group are recognised in the income statement as and when the costs are incurred. These include the costs of labour and replacement parts.

(r) Development and Training Costs

Development and training costs are recognised in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

(s) Frequent Flyer Programmes

The Company operates its own frequent flyer programme named "Enrich" which awards members based on accumulated mileage. The Company accrues for the liability under the programme and recognises in the income statement the amount equal to the mileage earned multiplied by the applicable rates. Upon redemption by members or expiration of the mileage awards, the accrual is reduced accordingly. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 177 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Significant Accounting Policies (Contd.)

(t) Interest-Bearing Borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded as the amount of proceeds received.

Interests on term loans obtained to finance progress payments for aircraft purchases and properties under construction are capitalised as progress payments in those assets until the aircraft and buildings are ready for their intended use. Interest costs incurred thereafter are recognised in the income statement.

(u) Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Other shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the economic substance of the particular instrument.

The transaction costs of an equity transaction, other than that in the context of a business combination, are accounted for as a deduction from equity. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. Cost of issuing equity securities in connection with a business combination are included in the cost of acquisition.

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared.

(v) 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. The particular recognition method adopted for financial instruments recognised in the balance sheet is disclosed in the individual accounting policies associated with each item.

(w) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group's policy on the use of derivative financial instruments is not for speculative purposes but to use these instruments as hedges against specific exposures.

The Group enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to cover a portion of future capital, revenue and operating payments in a variety of currencies in order to manage its foreign currency risk. The Group also enters into forward fuel contracts to manage its fuel price risk and forward interest rate contracts to manage its operating lease rental payments for aircraft.

Gains or losses arising from forward contracts on foreign currencies, fuel and interest rates are recognised upon maturity in the income statement as realised exchange differences, component of fuel costs and lease rental payments respectively.

(x) Impairment of Assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use, which is measured by reference to discounted future cash flows.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of any unutilised previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset. 178 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

There is no provision for Malaysian taxation for the Company in the current financial year as the Company has been granted an extension of the tax exemption status by the Ministry of Finance on its chargeable income in respect of all sources of income vide the Income Tax (Exemption) (No. 25) Order 2001. The extension is valid for a period of five years from year of assessment 2001 up to year of assessment 2005.

As at 31 March 2005, the Company has tax exempt income account of approximately RM9,499,482,000 (2004 : RM9,106,255,000) available to pay tax exempt dividends up to two levels of shareholders, subject to agreement with the Inland Revenue Board.

Domestic income tax is calculated at the Malaysian statutory tax rate of 28% (2004 : 28%) of the estimated assessable profit for the year. Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdictions.

Certain subsidiaries of the Group qualify for tax incentive under small-medium enterprise by virtue of having an issued and paid up share capital which is below RM2,500,000. Under this incentive, the subsidiaries enjoy a tax rate of 20% for the first RM500,000 of the estimated assessable profit and 28% for assessable profit exceeding RM500,000.

(a) The Special Rights Redeemable Preference Share ("Special Share") would enable the Government through the Minister of Finance Incorporated ("MoF") to ensure that certain major decisions affecting the operations of the Company are consistent with the Government's policy. The Special Share, which may only be held by the MoF or its successors or any Minister, representative, or any person acting on behalf of the , carries certain special rights as provided by Article 5 of the Company's Articles of Association (as amended at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 19 April 1995). These special rights include:

(i) the right to appoint not more than three persons at any time as directors of the Company.

(ii) the right to repayment of the capital paid up on the Special Share in priority to any other member in the event of a winding-up of the Company.

(iii) the right to require the Company to redeem the Special Share at par at any time.

Certain matters, in particular the alterations of specified Articles of Association of the Company, require the prior approval of the holder of the Special Share. The Special Share does not carry any right to vote at General Meetings but the holder is entitled to attend and speak at such meetings. 202 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Share Capital (Contd.)

(b) On 11 September 2001, the Company issued RM800 million Zero Dividend Redeemable Convertible Preference Shares (''RCPS'') of RM0.01 each at an issue price of RM1.00 each to Intelek Perkasa Berhad. The RCPS is redeemable by the Company within thirty days of its fifth anniversary (11 September 2006) failing which it will be automatically converted into ordinary shares at a conversion price of RM3.45 per RCPS share. The RCPS was constituted by the Subscription Agreement dated 29 August 2001.

The RCPS Investors will have the benefits of a put/call option arrangement granted by MoF as follows:

(i) the MoF will be entitled to exercise the call option to purchase all the RCPS from the RCPS Investors seven days prior to the fifth anniversary from the date of the issue of the RCPS (''Call Option'') at an exercise price as set out below; and

(ii) conversely, the RCPS Investors will be entitled to exercise the put option to dispose of all the RCPS at a selling price as set out below at the end of the five years from the date of issuance of the RCPS (''Put Date'') if and only if the Call Option is not exercised (''Put Option'').

Under the put/call arrangement, the exercise price for the RCPS payable by the MoF will be at a premium on the issue price of the RCPS to be calculated to give the RCPS Investors an equivalent return similar to 5-year zero-coupon fixed income papers issued or guaranteed by the Government that are issued or trading at around the time when the RCPS are issued (''Put Price'').

Subsequently, the Company can redeem the RCPS at its discretion within thirty (30) days immediately after the Put Date at a price equivalent to the Put Price plus interest accrued from the Put Date to the actual date of redemption by the Company calculated using one month Treasury Bills.

As mentioned in prior years’ reports, the Company entered into an agreement with PMB whereby the Company agreed to redeem the RCPS upon maturity, thereby changing the nature of the RCPS from an equity instrument to a debt instrument as defined by Malaysian Accounting Standard Board ("MASB") 24: Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation. PMB then agreed to pay the redemption sum upon maturity, resulting in the RCPS ceasing to be an obligation of the Company.

The Company has also obtained an undertaking from the MoF that in the event the MoF were to become the holder of the RCPS through the put and call mechanism described above, the RCPS will be allowed to lapse without any further consideration payable by the Company. Accordingly, the RCPS, comprising share capital of RM8 million and share premium of RM792 million was derecognised in the financial statements of the Company.

The unused tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances are available indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of the subsidiaries in which those items arose. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items as they may not be used to offset taxable profits of the other subsidiaries in the Group and they have arisen in subsidiaries that have a recent history of losses.

The Company is in the midst of applying for an extension of its tax exemption status. As such, deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of the unabsorbed capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 205 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Segmental Information

23.SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

(a) Business Segments

The Group operates predominantly in two business segments, being airline operations and cargo services.

(i) Airline operations - operation of aircraft for passengers (ii) Cargo services - operation of aircraft for cargo and mail services

Other business segments include hotel operations, catering, engineering, computerised reservation services, coach transportation, trucking and warehousing services, retailing of goods, terminal charges and tour and travel related activities, none of which are of a sufficient size to be reported separately.

The directors are of the opinion that all inter-segment transactions have been entered into in the normal course of business. Belly space charges from Airline to Cargo are based on internal pricing policy. All other inter-segment transactions have been established on terms and conditions that are not materially different from those obtainable in transactions with unrelated parties. 206 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

In connection with the Widespread Asset Unbundling ("WAU") exercise mentioned in the last report, the Company continues to be the named borrower of finance leases and term loans which have been taken over by the holding company and is still contractually bound to meet these borrowings in the event the holding company defaults on the payments. As such, the outstanding balance of the borrowings assumed by the holding company is included within the Group's and Company's contingent liabilities.

The above lease and loans mature as follows:

As at 31 March 2005, the Company has lease obligations amounting to RM1,514,872,000 (2004 : RM1,722,992,000) which are covered by interest bearing funds amounting to RM1,213,459,000 (2004 : RM1,066,974,000) placed with and payments made to financial institutions at the inception dates of the respective lease agreements under defeasance arrangements. The defeased lease obligations, together with the related fund placements and payments, are therefore not included in these financial statements.

The Group has in operation 111 (2004 : 109) aircraft and 36 (2004 : 36) engines under operating leases. Of these, 27 (2004 : 31) aircraft relate to the borrowings assumed by the holding company which is included in the Group's and the Company's contingent liabilities. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 213 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Contigent Liabilities (Contd.)

The directors are of the opinion that the holding company, being a subsidiary of the MoF, will be able to meet all payments to the Company in respect of the above liabilities as and when they fall due.

In 2000, Vantage Aviation Services Ltd. ("Vantage") filed a claim for TK832,161,000 (approximately RM48,598,000) against the Company for alleged wrongful termination of a General Sales Agency Agreement in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Company has filed a defence to Vantage's claims, and at the same time filed a counter claim amounting to TK179,620,000 (approximately RM10,490,000) for breach of the agency agreement. Similarly, in 2001 Shahjalal Aviation Systems Ltd. ("Shahjalal") filed a claim for TK2,670,000,000 (approximately RM155,928,000) against the Company for alleged wrongful termination of a General Sales Agency Agreement in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Company has filed a defence to Shahjalal's claims, and at the same time filed a counter claim amounting to TK87,835,000 (approximately RM5,130,000) for breach of the agency agreement. These two cases are still pending. The directors are of the view that the cases are without merit.

A writ of summons and statement of claim among others, seeking the divestment of 70% stake in LSG to Gubahan Saujana Sdn. Bhd., LSG Asia GmbH and Fahim Capital Sdn. Bhd. to be declared void, was served on the Company on 2 July 2004 as the fourth defendant in the High Court suit brought by the plaintiff, Advent Group Management Sdn. Bhd. The directors are of the opinion that the suit filed against the Company is without merit.

On 16 September 2004, the Company received a notice that Advanced Cargo Logistic GmBH had initiated proceedings against the Company at the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris, France seeking a claim of Euro 62.6 million (approximately RM308.4 million) for breach of contract under a cargo handling services agreement. The Company is contesting the claim.

27.CONTINGENT ASSETS

As mentioned in the last report, the Company is entitled to a 80% share of the profit on disposal of certain aircraft unbundled to PMB under the Agreement for Aircraft and Finance Agreements Unbundling. The profit will be computed based on the excess of the value realised over the decayed cost of the aircraft. The decayed cost for each aircraft at future dates is stipulated by the WAU agreement. Based on published industry price data, the Company's share of the profit on disposal if the applicable aircraft were to be disposed of as at 31 March 2005 is RM747,536,000 (2004 : RM855,456,000).

28.SIGNIFICANT EVENT

On 4 October 2004, the Company entered into a termination agreement with Asset Global Network Sdn. Bhd. ("AGN") to terminate the conditional Reimbursement Agreement ("RA") dated 26 March 2003 for the reimbursement of Subang Complex A buildings. The deposit of RM1.0 million was refunded by the Company and AGN was also reimbursed RM580,000 for the cost incurred, for the reimbursement of the Subang Complex A buildings.

As a result, the Company and AGN will not proceed with the subsequent sub-lease of Subang Complex A buildings, which was intended to take effect upon the completion of the RA. 214 Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial Instruments

29. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group operates globally and generates revenue in various currencies. The Group's airline operations carry certain financial and commodity risk, including the effects of changes in fuel prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and the market value of its investments. The Group's overall risk management approach is to minimise the effects of such volatility on its financial performance and reflect an inclination towards risk averse policies.

The Group's policy is not to trade in derivatives but to use these instruments to hedge against anticipated exposures.

(b) Fuel Price Risk

The Group's earnings are affected by changes in the price of jet fuel. The Group manages this risk by using instruments such as forward contracts, options, collars, caps and swaps. The Group's risk management policy is to hedge up to 80% of the annual budget volume for 12 months and up to 50% of the volume for the tenure of such contracts up to 48 months.

(c) Interest Rate Risk

The Group's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates where they have an impact on interest income and expense from cash, short term deposits and interest bearing financial assets and liabilities and operating lease payments.

The Group's policy on managing its interest rate risk is by maintaining a prudent mix of fixed and floating rate investments and borrowings.

(d) Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is exposed to the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations because of its foreign currency denominated operating revenues and expenses. The Group's largest exposures are from United States Dollar, Euro, Great Britain Pound, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar and Australian Dollar.

The Group seeks to reduce its foreign exchange exposure arising from transactions in various currencies through a policy of matching, as far as possible, receipts and payments in each individual currency. Surpluses of convertible currencies are sold, either spot or forward, for Malaysian Ringgit and United States Dollar.

The Group's forward transactions in foreign currency are detailed in Note 25 (b).

(e) Liquidity Risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient levels of cash or cash convertible investments and available credit facilities to meet its working capital requirements.

Surplus funds are invested in high quality short term liquid instruments, usually bank deposits. Malaysian Airline System Berhad Annual Report 04/05 215 (10601-W)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial Instruments (Contd.)

(f) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential loss from a transaction in the event of default by the counterparty during the term of the transaction or on settlement of the transaction. Credit exposure is measured as the cost to replace existing transactions should a counterparty default. The Group has credit risk associated with travel agents, industry settlement organisations and credit provided to direct customers. The Group minimises this credit risk through the application of stringent credit policies and accreditation of travel agents through industry programs.

Other than the amount due from related companies, the Group does not have any significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty nor does it have any major concentration of credit risk related to any financial instruments.

(g) Market Price Risk

As at 31 March 2005, the Group owned quoted investments amounting to RM1,377,000 (2004 : RM1,409,000), and the estimated market value of these quoted investments was RM30,946,000 (2004 : RM26,402,000).

The market risk associated with quoted investments is the potential loss resulting from a decrease in market prices.

(h) Fair Values

The aggregate net fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities which are not carried at fair value on the balance sheet of the Group and of the Company are represented as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Financial Instruments (Contd.)

(h) Fair Values (Contd.)

The carrying amounts of all other financial assets and liabilities as at 31 March 2005 are not materially different from their fair values due to the relatively short term maturity of these financial instruments.

The nominal/notional amount and net fair value of financial instruments not recognised in the balance sheet as at 31 March 2005 and 31 March 2004 are:

GROUP AND COMPANY Carrying Fair Amount Value Note RM'000 RM'000

Contingent asset

- 31 March 2005 27 747,536 747,536 - 31 March 2004 27 855,456 855,456

The method and assumption used to estimate the fair value of the contingent asset is determined by reference to the published industry price data of the aircraft.

As at 31 March 2005, the Group and the Company have entered into various fuel hedging transactions from 1 April 2005 to 30 September 2007 in several lots totalling 5,445,000 (2004 : 2,715,000) barrels. The cumulative estimated proceeds from hedging of marked to market value on the existing fuel hedging position (from 1 April 2005 to 30 September 2007) stand at RM240,471,000 (2004 : RM37,546,000).

As at 31 March 2005, the Group and the Company have entered into interest rate forward contracts with the following notional amounts and maturities pertaining to USD obligations:

Notional Amount 2005 2004 RM'000 RM'000

Within 1 year 259,667 - More than 1 year and less than 5 years 614,333 - 5 years or more 665,000 -

1,539,000 -

The fixed interest rates relating to interest rate forward contracts at the balance sheet date vary from 4.5% to 5.0% per annum.

The nominal/notional amount and net fair value of contingent liabilities (as disclosed in Note 26) are not disclosed as it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of contingent liabilities reliably due to the uncertainties of timing, costs and eventual outcome.
