statement
Dear Valued Shareholders,
2009 remained a challenging year for
Malaysian businesses as the nation felt
the full impact of the global financial
crisis. The nation slipped into a technical
recession and posted a negative growth
of 1.7%. Despite these conditions, the
IT industry experienced a 5% growth,
as businesses continued to make
IT investments to stay competitive.
However, due to the economic downturn,
public and private enterprises were
still cautious on IT spending, requiring
greater returns for their investment
dollar, creating margin pressures for IT
vendors.
Enduring challenges
Against this difficult backdrop, the Group posted revenue of
RM264 million in 2009, comparable to revenue registered
in the previous fiscal year. However, pre-tax profits
declined by 10% from RM13.5 million in 2008 to RM12.1
million for the year under review. This was attributed to
margin pressure from the tough economic climate and
the Groups investment obligation towards our Business
Transformation.
Notwithstanding the current challenging environment, the
prospects for the Group remain positive. In view of this, the
Group remains committed to providing good returns to the
shareholders. The Board of Directors proposed a final gross
dividend payment of 19 sen per share less income tax of
25%, subject to shareholders approval at the upcoming
28th Annual General Meeting.
Realising goals
The Groups future direction will be driven by the Business
Transformation initiatives to improve margins. The
Transformation is based on a 3-Pillar strategy to drive
customer business performance, enhance customer
satisfaction and drive yield on resources. While we have
a challenging journey ahead before our goals are realised,
we have seen significant progress in our endeavours.
We secured a contract from an IT arm of a Governmentlinked company in response to a proactive bid to drive their
performance via technology. Although the revenue secured
is not large, we see it as a testament to the success of
our business strategy. We are confident that 2010 will see
more wins of similar nature.
We are equally proud of our efforts in fostering an inclusive workforce. Apart from
providing career development opportunities and incentives together with benefits
and facilities to ensure employee well-being; we implemented an idea sharing
program as an avenue to reward employees who contribute ideas that are beneficial
to our business. Our contribution towards the community mainly involves programs
that promote the formation of a knowledge society. Therefore, we continue to run
the Mesiniaga Academy, a work-based learning programme that sees students
from community colleges gaining work experience in the company as part of their
syllabus.
Moving forward
The economy showed signs of recovery towards the end of 2009. As our nation
emerges from the recession, we anticipate broad-based expansion from all sectors.
The potential for large projects will be in key sectors such as financial services and
telecommunication particularly in light of the governments push for greater broadband
penetration. In line with this, I am optimistic with our prospects going forward.
With a wide customer base, Mesiniaga is well-poised to take advantage of this
upturn. More importantly, we are beginning to see successes in our Transformation
endeavours. I am confident that greater success is at hand. This transformation will
ensure that Mesiniaga is more agile in capitalising on opportunities irrespective of
the state of economy.
Acknowledgements
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow directors for their valuable
service and advice. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all employees and
the management of the company and its various subsidiaries for their support. My
appreciation also goes to our shareholders, customers and business associates for
their continued faith.

managing directors
report
I am pleased to share my optimism that we are emerging from our
transformation a stronger company.
This task is made more difficult because of
the prevailing economic conditions over the
past two years. Though temporary, these
conditions have increased pressure on
margins via a cautious buying environment,
and customers needing us to do more for
less.
Though results are still moderate, we are
making steady progress. On similar revenue
to 2008 we have increased Gross Profit by
RM4.9 million to RM88.8 million. Expenses
however have also increased due to factors
above, and investment in staffing to drive
the transformation and future business. The
net result is still a drop in pre-tax profit from
RM13.5 million in 2008 to RM12.1 million in
2009, though I do not view this with a great
sense of alarm.
We have resisted the temptation to chase
down some lower margin hardware only
projects that could augment short term
results but detract us from our long term
objectives.

Significant investments in developing talents will be
meaningless unless coupled with a thriving working
environment. We believe that workplace diversity can
contribute positively to creating such an environment.
As of December 2009, we have more than 800
employees, out of which 68% are Malays, 25% are
Chinese, 5% are Indians and 2% are from other ethnic
groups. 31% of our employees are female. In order to
retain this diversity, we maintain a strict policy against
religious, racial or gender discrimination. Apart from
workplace diversity, we also provide both defined
contribution and benefits plans. Defined contribution
plan is the statutory EPF contribution for all employees
and defined benefit plans are retirement plans that
apply to 32% of permanent employees. In 2009,
this retirement plan amounted to nearly RM400,000.
Other fringe benefits include health, accident and life
insurance; medical, dental and maternity expenses;
as well as car and housing loan interest subsidies. On
top of this, deserving employees are regularly given
due recognition through various ways such as the
Mesiniaga Diamond Club and Director Merit Awards.

Statement on
Internal Control
The Board has overall responsibility for the Companys system of internal control. This requires the establishment of
an appropriate framework and control environment, involving the financial, organisational and operational aspects of
the Company.
The Board recognises that in pursuing business objectives, internal controls can only provide reasonable and not
absolute assurance against the risk of material errors, losses, fraud or occurrences of unforeseeable circumstances.
The Companys system of internal control has been designed to place greater emphasis on the control of items of
material significance in order to provide reasonable assurance that the major effects of these risks are minimised.
The key elements of the framework of the Companys internal controls are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
The existence of an Internal Audit Department to provide the Board with assurance regarding the adequacy
and integrity of internal control systems within the Company. The Internal Audit Department performs ongoing
reviews of processes and activities within the Company and reports to the Audit Committee of Directors (AC). The
AC has full access to both internal and external auditors.
The Board remains committed towards the establishment of a sound system of internal control and therefore recognises
that the system must continuously evolve to support growth. In striving for continuous improvement, the Company will
put in place appropriate action plans, when necessary, to further enhance the Companys system of internal control.
The above internal control framework does not cover associate companies.

to ascertain that proper 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 the Company had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so
to realise.
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 the 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 the Company misleading; or
(c)
which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and the 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 affect the ability of the Group and the 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 and 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 and 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.
the results of the Groups and the Companys operations during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction
or event of a material and unusual nature; 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 year in which
this report is made.
AUDITORS
The auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, have expressed their willingness to continue in office.
Signed on behalf of the Board of Directors in accordance with their resolution dated 15 April 2010.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia, and the Companys shares are publicly traded
on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
The Company is principally involved in the sale of information technology products and related services. The principal activities of the
subsidiaries are described in Note 14 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal
activities of the Group during the financial year.
The address of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company is as follows:
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements of the Group and Company are prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in the summary
of significant accounting policies in Note 3. The financial statements comply with the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (MASB)
Approved Accounting Standards for entities other than private entities and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the MASB Approved Accounting Standards for entities other than private
entities requires the use of certain critical accounting 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 reported period. It also requires the Directors to exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Groups and
Companys accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgements are based on the Directors best knowledge of current events
and actions, actual results may differ.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial
statements, are disclosed in Note 4.
The new standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards applicable to the Group that are not yet
effective and are not early adopted by the Group, are as follows:
(a) Standards effective from January 1, 2010:
FRS 8 Operating Segments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). FRS 8 replaces FRS 1142004
Segment Reporting. The new standard requires a management approach, under which segment information is presented on
the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The expected number of reportable segments and the manner in
which the segments are reported will be consistent with internal management reporting.
Amendment to FRS 1 First Time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards. The amendment allows first time adopter to
measure the initial cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities (JCE) and associates either at fair value or the
previous carrying amount.
Amendment to FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The amendment mainly deleted the definition of
cost method and added new paragraphs pertaining to group reorganisation. This has led to consequential amendments to other
FRSs.
FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements. It prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (non-owner
changes in equity) in the statement of changes in equity. Non-owner changes in equity are to be presented separately from
owner changes in equity in a statement of comprehensive income.
Amendments to FRS 132 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendments will enable non-corporate shareholders
interests in open ended funds, closed ended funds, co-operatives and partnerships to be presented as equity rather than
liabilities.
Amendments to FRSs contained in the document entitled Improvements to FRSs (2009) The improvements contain
amendments to twenty two FRSs which involve changes to presentation, recognition, or measurement and some are changes
to terminology with little effect on accounting.
IC Interpretation 10: Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. IC Interpretation 10 prohibits the impairment losses recognised
in an interim period on goodwill and investments in equity instruments and in financial assets carried at cost to be reversed at
a subsequent balance sheet date.
IC Interpretation 14: FRS 119 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. This
Interpretation provides guidance on assessing the limit in FRS 119 on the amount of the surplus that can be recognised as an
asset.
Standards on financial instruments. The Group has applied transitional provision which exempts entities from disclosing
possible impact arising from initial application of the following standards:
- FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
-
Amendment to FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
- FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
-
Amendment to FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
The Group will apply the above mentioned standards, amendments and interpretations from financial period beginning January 1,
2010. The adoptions of these standards are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.
71
72
FRS 1 First-time Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards. This is a revision to existing FRS 1 merely to improve the structure
of the standard.
FRS 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with
non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in
goodwill or gains and losses.
Amendment to IC 9: Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives. The amendments clarify that the Interpretation does not apply
to embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in a business combination, businesses under common control or the formation
of a joint venture.
The Group will apply the above standards, amendments and interpretations from financial period beginning January 1, 2011. The
adoptions of these standards are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.
The remaining standards and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective are not relevant to the Groups operations.
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the
financial statements.
(a) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are entities in which the Group has the power to control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits
from their activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of voting rights. 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.
The Group has taken advantage of the exemption provided by FRS1222004 and FRS 3 to apply these Standards prospectively.
Accordingly, business combinations entered into prior to the respective effective dates have not been restated to comply with these
Standards.
In the Companys 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 income statement.
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.
Acquisition of subsidiaries is 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 acquisition over the Groups interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities represents goodwill. See accounting policy on goodwill in Note 3(c). Any excess of the Groups interest in the net fair
value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised immediately in income
statement.
Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiaries not held by the Group directly or indirectly
through subsidiaries. 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.
Associates are entities in which the Group exercises significant influence but which it does not control, generally accompanying a
shareholding of between 20% and 50% of voting rights, and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant
influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not in control or joint control
over those policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under
the equity method, the investment in associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost adjusted for post-acquisition
changes in the Groups share of net assets of the associate. The Groups share of the net profit or loss of the associate is recognised
in the consolidated profit or loss. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group
recognises its share of such changes. In applying the equity method, unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group
and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Groups interest in the associate. After application of the equity method, the
Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Groups net investment in
the associate. The associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date the Group
ceases to have significant influence over the associate.
Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. Any excess of the
Groups share of the net fair value of the associates identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the
investments is excluded from the carrying amount of the investments and is instead included as income in the determination of the
Groups share of the associates profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.
73
74
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the assets 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.
Land and buildings are subsequently shown at revaluation, less subsequent depreciation for buildings and impairment losses.
Revaluation is based on valuations by external independent valuers when the fair value of the asset differs materially from its carrying
amount. Generally revaluation is performed once in five years. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated
against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All other property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
2%
14% - 33%
7% - 33%
25%
Fully depreciated assets still in use are retained in the financial statements.
The residual values, useful lives 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
benefit embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
All items of property, plant and equipment are 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 the income
statements and the unutilised portion of the revaluation surplus on those items is taken directly to retained earnings.
At each balance sheet date, the group assess if there is impairment. If such indication exists, an analysis is performed to assess if
the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable. A writedown is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. See
accounting policy on 3(e) on impairment of non-financial assets.
(e) Impairment of non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated to determine
the amount of impairment loss.
For goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated at each balance sheet date or more frequently when indicators of impairment are
identified.
75
76
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or CGUs fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimate future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. When 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 on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued
amount, in which case the impairment loss is accounted for as a revaluation decrease to the extent that the impairment loss does
not exceed the amount held in the asset revaluation reserve for the same asset.
Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. An impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is reversed
if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment
loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided
that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had
no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset other than goodwill is
recognised in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation
increase.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost, which includes
purchase price and incidental charges, is determined on a weighted average basis.
(g) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity
instrument of another enterprise.
A financial asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, a
contractual right to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable, or an
equity instrument of another enterprise.
A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another enterprise, or to
exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavourable.
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the
instruments.
Known bad debts are written off and specific allowance is established when there is an objective evidence that the Group will not
be able to collect all amounts due.

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 FRS 1192004 and is
charged or credited to income over the average remaining service lives of the related employees participating in the defined benefit
plan.
Past service costs are recognised immediately in income, unless the changes to the plan are conditional on the employees remaining
in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past service costs are amortised on a straight line basis
over the vesting period.
(o) Income tax
Income tax on profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is determined according to the tax laws of
each jurisdiction in which the Group operates and include all taxes based upon taxable profits and is measured using the tax rates
that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liabilities 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 tax rate 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 acquirers interest
in the net fair value of the acquirees identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and
returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or a
service within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments
operating in other economic environments.

The Groups activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity
and cash flow risk. The Groups overall financial risk management objective is to ensure that the Group creates value for its shareholders.
Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews, internal control systems, insurance programmes and adherence to Group
policies and procedures. The management regularly reviews these risks.
(a) Foreign currency exchange risk
The Group is exposed to various currencies, mainly United States Dollar. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities together
with expected cash flows from anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies give rise to foreign exchange exposures.
Foreign currency exposures are kept to an acceptable level.
(b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate exposure arises mainly from the Groups deposits and borrowings. The Groups income and operating cash flows are
substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk arises when sales are made on credit terms. The Group controls these risks by application of credit approvals, limits
and monitoring procedures. Trade receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis via regular updates and management reporting
procedures.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the Groups large number of customers. The Groups
historical experience in collection of trade receivables falls within the recorded allowances. Due to these factors, management
believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts allowed for collection loss is inherent in the Groups trade receivables.

Under the single-tier tax system which came into effect from the year of assessment 2008, companies are not required to have tax
credits under Section 108 of the Income Tax Act 1967 for dividend payment purposes.
Dividends paid under this system are tax exempt in the hands of shareholders. However, companies who have not utilised fully their
Section 108 credits balances up to 31 December 2007 may continue to pay franked dividends until the Section 108 credits are exhausted
or 31 December 2013 whichever is earlier unless they opt to disregard the Section 108 credits under the special transitional provisions of
the Finance Act 2008 and pay single-tier dividends.
The Company did not elect for the irrevocable option to disregard the Section 108 balance.
As at 31 December 2009, subject to the agreement by the tax authorities, the Company has sufficient Section 108 tax credits and tax
exempt income to pay in full all the retained earnings of the Company as franked and exempt dividends.
In addition, the Company has tax exempt income as at 31 December 2009 arising from the Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 1999, relating
to tax on income earned in 1999 being waived and first tier exempt dividend income amounting to approximately RM1,016,520 and
RM832,500 (2008: RM1,016,520 and RM832,500) respectively available for distribution as tax exempt dividends to shareholders. This tax
exempt income is subject to agreement by the tax authorities.
