DIRECTORS' BENEFITS During and at the end of the financial year, no arrangements subsisted to which the Company is a party, being arrangements with the object or objects of enabling Directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate.

Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director has received or become entitled to receive a benefit (other than benefits disclosed as Directors’ remuneration in Note 6 to the financial statements) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the Director or with a firm of which the Director is a member, or with a company in which the Director has a substantial financial interest.

No other Director in office at the end of the financial year held any interest in shares in the Company and its related corporations.

STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Group and Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:

(a) to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts, and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and

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

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 194 Directors’ Report

STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d.) At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:

(a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and Company misleading; or

(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and Company misleading or inappropriate.

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 Group and Company to meet their obligations when they fall due.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:

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

(b) any contingent liability of the Group or the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

In the opinion of the Directors:

(a) the results of the Group’s and Company’s operations during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature except as disclosed in Note 41 to the financial statements; and

(b) there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group or the Company for the financial year in which this report is made except as disclosed in Note 40 to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 March 2004

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION The Company is principally involved in manufacturing, assembling and selling motor vehicles and related products.

The principal activities of the subsidiary and associated companies are set out in Notes 23 and 24 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the activities of the Group during the financial year.

Subsequent to 31 March 2004, the Company completed a Group Reorganisation exercise. As at 31 March 2004, the Company was a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and, until 16 March 2004, was listed on the Main Board of the Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“BMB”). On 5 April 2004, Proton Holdings Berhad became the holding company of the Company. The listing status of the Company on the main board of Bursa Malaysia Berhad was assumed by Proton Holdings Berhad on 16 April 2004.

The holding and ultimate holding company subsequent to 5 April 2004, is Proton Holdings Berhad, a company incorporated in Malaysia.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of accounting The financial statements of the Group and Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention (as modified by the revaluation of certain freehold land), unless otherwise indicated in the summary of significant accounting policies.

The financial statements comply with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965. The new applicable approved accounting standards adopted in these financial statements are as follows: MASB Standard 25 “Income Taxes” MASB Standard 27 “Borrowing Costs” MASB Standard 28 “Discontinuing Operations” MASB Standard 29 “Employee Benefits”

With the exception of MASB Standard 25 and MASB Standard 29, there are no changes in accounting policies that affect net profit or shareholders’ equity for the financial year as a result of the adoption of the above standards in these financial statements as the Group was already following the recognition and measurement principles in those standards. The effects of adopting MASB 25 and MASB 29 are summarised in Note 41 to the financial statements.

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 207 Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (a) Basis of accounting (Cont’d.) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 require the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the financial year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies made up to the end of the financial year. All subsidiary companies’ financial statements are consolidated based on the acquisition method of accounting. The consolidated income statement includes the results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed during the financial year from the date of their acquisition or up to the date of their disposal, respectively.

(i) Subsidiary companies Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities.

Minority interest is measured at the minorities’ share of the post acquisition fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Separate disclosure is made of minority interest.

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

(ii) Associated companies Associated companies are companies in which the Group exercises 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. Investment in associated companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting.

The consolidated income statement includes the Group’s share of results of the associated companies based on its latest audited financial statements or management financial statements of the companies concerned.

Investments in associates are stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

In the consolidated balance sheet, the Group’s interest in the associated companies is stated at cost plus the Group’s share of post acquisition results and reserves.

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 208 Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (b) Basis of consolidation (Cont’d.) (iii) Jointly controlled entities Jointly controlled entities are corporations, partnerships or other entities over which there is contractually agreed sharing of control by the Group with one or more parties. The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entities are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements by the equity method of accounting.

(c) Investments Investments in other non-current investments are shown at cost and an allowance for diminution in value is made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of such investments. Where there has been a decline other than temporary in the value of an investment, such a decline is recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the decline is identified. See accounting policy Note 2 (u) on impairment of assets.

Short term investments are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an aggregate portfolio basis by category of investments. Market value is calculated by reference to stock exchange quoted selling prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Increases/decreases in the carrying amount of short term investments are credited/charged to the income statement.

On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged/credited to the income statement.

(d) Goodwill Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of subsidiary companies at the date of acquisition and is written off and set-off against reserves in the year of acquisition.

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 209 Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (e) Property, plant and equipment A piece of freehold land held by the Company is stated at Directors’ valuation based on a 1983 independent professional valuation of the open market value of the land on existing use basis. The surplus arising on revaluation was credited directly to capital reserves and subsequently utilised. This valuation has not been updated.

All other land held by the Group and Company are stated at cost. Freehold land and work in progress are not amortised. All long leasehold land are amortised over the period of their lease term.

All other property, plant and equipment except for dies and jigs included under plant and machinery, held by the Group and Company are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis to write off the costs of the assets over the term of their estimated useful lives. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the assets is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

The principal annual rates of depreciation used are as follows: Long leasehold land Over period of lease term of 98 years Buildings 2% – 5% Plant and machinery 10% – 50% Office equipment, furniture, fittings and vehicles 10% – 50%

Dies and jigs, included under plant and machinery are depreciated based on the unit of production basis to write off the cost of the assets over the term of their estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 6 years.

Work in progress is not depreciated. Upon completion, the related costs will be transferred to the respective category of assets. Depreciation on work in progress commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

(f) Land and development expenditure Land and development expenditure consists of land held for development and related development costs common to projects. Developed land is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

All expenditure incurred on uncompleted projects are capitalised and are included in the balance sheet as development expenditure.

Upon completion of the projects, land and related development cost are reclassified as apartments for sale.

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 210 Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (g) Leases Finance leases are leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership.

Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are included in tangible property, plant and equipment and are depreciated in accordance with Note 2(e) above. Obligations under such agreements are treated as a liability and finance charges are allocated to the income statement over the lease periods to give a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining lease liabilities.

Operating leases are leases of assets under which a significant portion of the risks and benefits of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease period.

(h) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis except for parts and accessories held for resale by certain subsidiaries which is determined on a weighted average basis.

In the case of work-in-progress and finished vehicles, an appropriate proportion of production overheads are included in the costs.

(i) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are carried at anticipated net realisable value. Allowances are made for doubtful debts based on specific review of outstanding balances at balance sheet date. General allowances are made to cover possible losses which are not specifically identified. Bad debts are written off to the income statement during the financial year in which they are identified.

(j) Research and development expenditure Research and development expenditure is generally recognised as an expense. Costs incurred on development projects are capitalised to the extent that such expenditure is reasonably certain to generate future economic benefits. Expenditures capitalised are depreciated over the useful lives of the project. Development costs initially recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 211 Notes to the Financial Statements

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (k) Provision Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

Provision for warranties

Provision is made for the estimated liability on all products under warranty in addition to claims already received. Warranties are provided for a period of between one to three years for vehicles sold. The provision is based on experienced levels of claims arising during the period of warranty. When the Group expects warranties to be reimbursed from suppliers, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

(l) Employee benefits (i) Short term employee benefits Salaries, wages, paid annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.

(ii) Post employment benefits The Group has various post-employment benefit schemes in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries in which it operates. The Group has both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

Defined contribution plans The Group’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.

Defined benefit plans The liability in respect of a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date minus the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for actuarial gains/losses and past service cost. The Group determines the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of any plan assets with sufficient regularity such that the amounts recognised in the financial statements do not differ materially from the amounts that would be determined at the balance sheet date.

The defined benefit obligation, calculated using the projected unit credit method, is determined by independent actuaries on the basis of triennial valuations. Assumptions were made in relation to the annual investment returns, annual salary increases and annual increases in pension payments.

Plan assets in excess of the defined benefit obligation are subject to the asset limitation specified in MASB 29.

Actuarial gains and losses arise from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions. The amount of net actuarial gains and losses recognised in the income statement is determined by the corridor method in accordance with MASB 29 and is charged or credited to income over the average remaining service lives of the related employees participating in the defined benefit plan.

Upon initial adoption of MASB 29 effective on 1 April 2003, the increase in defined benefit liability is recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over 5 years in accordance with the transitional provision of the Standard.

(iii) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (m) Income taxes Current tax expense is determined according to the tax laws of each jurisdiction in which the Group operates and include all taxes based upon the taxable profits, including withholding taxes payable by a foreign subsidiary company on distributions of retained earnings to companies in the Group.

Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed to assets and liabilities for tax purposes and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date are used to determine deferred tax.

(n) Foreign currency transactions and translation Transactions in foreign currencies during the financial year are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the exchange rates ruling at that date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in the income statement.

Results of foreign subsidiary and associated companies are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at average rates of exchange for the financial year. Assets and liabilities are translated into Ringgit Malaysia, at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the translation of the results for the year at average rates and assets and liabilities at year end rates and the restatement at year end rates of the opening net investments in foreign subsidiary and associated companies are taken in a foreign exchange translation account as a component of shareholders’ funds.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (n) Foreign currency transactions and translation (Cont’d.) The principal closing rates used in translation of foreign currency amounts were as follows: Foreign currency 31.3.2004 31.3.2003 RM RM 1 USD 3.80 3.80 1 GBP 6.94 5.98 1 AUD 2.87 2.29 1 EURO 4.63 4.11 100 JPY 3.59 3.17

(o) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank balances, bank deposits, bank overdrafts and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

(p) Revenue recognition Sales which includes vehicles, spare parts and accessories are recognised upon delivery.

Revenue from sale of completed apartments is recognised when the Sale and Purchase Agreements are signed.

Revenue for rendering of services on long term engineering contracts is recognised on the basis of the stage of completion of such contracts at the financial year end, where the contract outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. Full provision is made for all foreseeable losses on contracts entered into or commenced prior to the financial year end. Amounts are included within receivables and prepayments to recognise timing differences arising between amounts invoiced and amounts recognised in the income statement on individual engineering contracts.

Other revenue comprises mainly revenue from rental, royalty and interest income, which are recognised on an accrual basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (q) Financial instruments (i) Financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet The particular recognition method adopted for financial instruments recognised on the balance sheet is disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.

(ii) Financial instruments not recognised on the balance sheet The Group is a party to financial instruments which comprise foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate cap and floor contract. These instruments are not recognised in the financial statements on inception.

Foreign currency forward contracts The Group enters into foreign currency forward contracts to protect the Group from movements in exchange rates by establishing the rate at which a foreign currency asset or liability will be settled.

Exchange gains and losses arising on contracts entered into as hedges of anticipated future transactions are deferred until the date of such transaction, at which time they are included in the measurement of such transactions.

All other exchange gains and losses relating to hedge instruments are recognised in the income statement in the same period as the exchange differences on the underlying hedged items. Gains and losses on contracts which are no longer designated as hedges are included in the income statement.

(iii) Fair value estimation for disclosure purposes The fair value of publicly traded derivatives and securities is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.

The fair value of interest rate cap and floor contract is determined by the differences between the interest payable at the contracted rate and the market rate. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date.

In assessing the fair value of non-traded derivatives and financial instruments, the Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotations for the specific or similar instruments are used for long term debt. Unquoted long term investments are valued based on quoted investments with similar features.

The face values, less any estimated credit adjustments, for financial assets and liabilities classified as current are assumed to approximate their fair values.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (r) Borrowings Classification Borrowings are initially recognised based on the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.

Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to a financial instrument, or a component part, classified as a liability is reported within finance cost in the income statement.

Capitalisation of borrowings cost Borrowings cost incurred on specific and identifiable borrowings used to finance property development and construction contract is capitalised until the properties are ready for their intended use.

(s) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. External cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares are expensed off in the income statement.

Final dividends payable on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when formally approved.

(t) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements. A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent liability also arises in the extremely rare circumstance where there is a liability that cannot be recognised because it cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group. The Group does not recognise contingent assets but discloses its existence where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d.) (u) Impairment of assets Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is separately identifiable cash flows.

The impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to the revaluation surplus. Any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s activities exposes it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, liquidity and cash flow risk. The Group focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Financial risk management is carried out through risks reviews, internal control systems, a global insurance programme and adherence to Group financial risk management policies. The Board regularly reviews these risks and approves the treasury policies, which covers the management of these risks.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts and interest rate instruments to hedge certain exposures. It does not trade in financial instruments.

(a) Foreign currency exchange risk The Group is exposed to currency risk as a result of the foreign currency transactions entered into by the Company and subsidiaries in currencies other than their functional currency. The Group enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to limit the exposure on foreign currency receivables and payables, and on cash flows generated from anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

(b) Interest rate risk The Group’s income and operating cash flows arising from bank deposits are substantially affected by changes in market interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used, where appropriate, to generate the desired interest rate profile.

PERUSAHAAN OTOMOBIL NASIONAL BERHAD 218 Notes to the Financial Statements

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Cont’d.) (c) Market risk The Group does not face significant exposure from the risk from changes in debt and equity prices.

(d) Credit risk The Group seeks to invest cash assets safely and profitably. The Group considers the risk of material loss in the event of non-performance by a financial counterparty to be unlikely in view of their respective financial strength.

The Group seeks to control customers credit risk by ensuring that significant sales of product and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.

(e) Liquidity and cash flow risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.

Credit terms of trade receivable for Group and Company range from payment in advance to 180 days. However, the majority of the Company’s trade receivables have a credit term between 14 days to 60 days (2003: 14 days to 60 days).

Following the formalisation of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Proton Edar Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary company and a selected Super Dealer, the Company’s sales are now concentrated within the Proton Group of companies. The directors believe that no additional credit risk beyond the amount provided for collection losses is inherent to the Company’s trade receivables.

Group sales are concentrated in Malaysia and highly dependant on sales of Proton Edar Sdn. Bhd., the distribution Company of the Group in Malaysia. Group sales are also concentrated on one major third party customer in Malaysia making up 34% (2003: 38%) of total Group revenue. Historical experience and the financial strength of this customer indicates that no additional credit risk beyond amount provided for collection losses as inherent to the Group trade receivables.

Terma kredit bagi penghutang perdagangan untuk Kumpulan dan Syarikat adalah di antara pembayaran pendahuluan hingga 180 hari. Bagaimanapun, kebanyakan penghutang perdagangan Syarikat mempunyai terma kredit di antara 14 hari ke 60 hari (2003: 14 hari ke 60 hari).

Berikutan termeterainya Perjanjian Persefahaman di antara Proton Edar Sdn. Bhd., sebuah syarikat subsidiari dengan satu wakil jualan terpilih, jualan Syarikat sekarang tertumpu kepada syarikat-syarikat di dalam Kumpulan Proton sahaja. Para pengarah percaya bahawa tiada penambahan risiko kredit selain daripada yang diperuntukan kepada penghutang perdagangan syarikat.

Jualan Kumpulan tertumpu di Malaysia dan sangat bergantung kepada jualan syarikat pengedaran di Malaysia, Proton Edar Sdn. Bhd. Jualan Kumpulan juga tertumpu kepada satu pelanggan besar di Malaysia yang menyumbangkan 34% (2003: 38%) dari jumlah jualan Kumpulan. Pengalaman lampau dan kekuatan kewangan pelanggan tersebut memberi keyakinan bahawa tiada penambahan risiko kredit terkandung kepada penghutang perdagangan Kumpulan.
