Save for the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the comparatives presented in the financial statements of the Group are
not comparable because of the accounting treatment adopted for the business combination by the Group which was completed
on 1 October 2009.

The Directors draw attention to the basis of preparation in Note 2 to the financial statements which states that the audited financial
statements for the previous financial year were prepared using the purchase method of accounting as the Company had completed
the acquisition of its subsidiaries on 1 October 2009 and sets out the implication on the financial statements.

Note 33(a) to the financial statements sets out additional proforma on comparable financial results in respect of financial years
ended 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2008, on the assumption that the business combination had been effected on 1
January 2008.

made for impairment; and

DIRECTORS'
REPORT
Continued

STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 impairment in the financial
statements of the Group and of 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 of 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 of 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 or of 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 of 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 of 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 of the Company's 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 of the
Company for the financial year in which this Report is made.

Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other than Private Entities. The financial statements have been prepared under

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to

which was subsequently fully repaid in 2010. The business combination has been accounted as a reverse acquisition using
the purchase method of accounting under FRS 3 as in substance MMSSB, the provider of telecommunications products and
services, is the accounting acquirer whilst the Subsidiaries other than MMSSB (“Other Subsidiaries”) are mainly involved in
provision of network facilities services and operation of international gateway.

As part of the Pre-Listing Restructuring, on 30 September 2009, MMSSB disposed off Althem B.V. (“ABV”), which held 44%
equity interest in PT Natrindo Telepon Seluler (“NTS”), to MCB for a total cash consideration of RM1,018,853,000 which was
equivalent to its cost of investment in ABV.

Save for the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the comparatives presented in the consolidated financial statements
are not comparable with the financial year ended 31 December 2010. Additional proforma on comparable Group’s financial
results on the assumption that the business combination had been effected on 1 January 2008 is set out in Note 33(a) to the
financial statements.

The following accounting treatment has been applied in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the reverse
acquisition which was effected during 2009:

(i) the assets and liabilities of the accounting acquirer, MMSSB, are recognised and measured in the consolidated financial
statements at the pre-combination carrying amounts, without restatement to fair value;

(ii) the retained earnings and other equity balances of the Group immediately before the business combination, and the
results of the period from 1 January 2009 to the date of the business combination are those of MMSSB Group; and

(iii) the equity structure, however, reflects the equity structure of the Company, including the equity instruments issued to
effect the business combination.

The detailed implications of the above accounting treatment are as follows:

Consolidated Income Statements and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income

The 2009 Consolidated Income Statement comprises MMSSB Group’s results for the 9 months ended 30 September
2009 and the Group’s results for the 3 months ended 31 December 2009.

Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity

The 2009 Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity comprises:

• The equity balance of MMSSB Group at the beginning of the financial year.
• MMSSB Group’s transactions for the 9 months ended 30 September 2009 and the Group’s transactions for the 3
months ended 31 December 2009.
• The equity balance of the Group at the end of the financial year.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The 2009 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows comprises:

• The cash balance of MMSSB Group at the beginning of the financial year.
• MMSSB Group’s transactions for the 9 months ended 30 September 2009 and the Group’s transactions for the 3
months ended 31 December 2009.
• The cash balance of the Group at the end of the financial year.

(i) Standards, amendments to published standards and Issues Committee (“IC”) Interpretations to existing
standards that are effective and applicable to the Group

The Group has adopted the following new standards, amendments to standards and IC Interpretations as of 1 January
2010:

• FRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (effective from 1 January 2010) provides information to users of financial
statements about an entity’s exposure to risks and how the entity manages those risks. The amendment to FRS 7
clarifies that entities must not present total interest income and expense as a net amount within finance costs on
the face of the income statement. Application of the standard does not have an impact on the financial results and
position as the changes only result in additional disclosures.

• FRS 8 "Operating Segments" (effective from 1 July 2009) replaces FRS 1142004 Segment Reporting. The new
standard requires a ‘management approach’, under which segment information is reported in a manner that is
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The amendment to FRS 8
(effective from 1 January 2010) clarifies that the entities that do not provide information about segment assets to
the chief operating decision-maker will no longer need to report this information. The adoption has resulted in
removal of segment assets and liabilities information as these information are not provided to the chief operating
decision maker as reflected in Note 5 to the financial statements.

(i) Standards, amendments to published standards and Issues Committee (“IC”) Interpretations to existing
standards that are effective and applicable to the Group (continued)

The Group has adopted the following new standards, amendments to standards and IC Interpretations as of 1 January
2010 (continued):

• The revised FRS 101 “Presentation of Financial Statements” (effective from 1 January 2010) prohibits the
presentation of items of income and expenses (that is “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. All non-
owner changes in equity will be required to be shown in a performance statement, but entities can choose whether
to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income
statement and statement of comprehensive income). The Group has elected to present two separate statements
which are the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income. Comparative information has been
re-presented to conform to the revised standard. As the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation
aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.

• FRS 123 "Borrowing Costs" (effective from 1 January 2010) which replaces FRS 1232004, requires an entity to
capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
(one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option
of immediately expensing those borrowing costs is removed. The amendment to FRS 123 (effective 1 January
2010) clarifies that the definition of borrowing costs includes interest expense calculated using the effective interest
method defined in FRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. The change in accounting
policy has no material impact on earnings per share.

• FRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (effective from 1 January 2010) establishes
principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy and sell
non-financial items. Hedge accounting is permitted under strict circumstances. The amendments to FRS 139
provide further guidance on eligible hedged items. The amendments provide guidance for two situations. On the
designation of a one-sided risk in a hedged item, the amendments conclude that a purchased option designated in
its entirety as the hedging instrument of a one-sided risk will not be perfectly effective. The designation of inflation
as a hedged risk or portion is not permitted unless in particular situations. The amendment to FRS 139 clarifies that
the scope exemption in FRS 139 only applies to forward contracts but not options for business combinations that
are firmly committed to being completed within a reasonable timeframe.

• IC Interpretation 9 "Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives" (effective from 1 January 2010) requires an entity to
assess whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as
a derivative when the entity first becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless
there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be
required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required.

• IC Interpretation 10 "Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment" (effective from 1 January 2010) 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 reporting date. Application of this IC Interpretation
has no impact on the financial results and position.

(i) Standards, amendments to published standards and Issues Committee (“IC”) Interpretations to existing
standards that are effective and applicable to the Group (continued)

The Group has adopted the following new standards, amendments to standards and IC Interpretations as of 1 January
2010 (continued):

• IC Interpretation 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes" (effective from 1 January 2010) clarifies that where goods
or services are sold together with a customer loyalty incentive (for example, loyalty points or free products), the
arrangement is a multiple-element arrangement and the consideration receivable from the customer is allocated
between the components of the arrangement using fair values. Application of this IC Interpretation has no
significant impact on the financial results and position.

• Amendments to FRS 2 “Share-based Payment Vesting Conditions and Cancellations” (effective from 1 January
2010) clarify that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a
share-based payment are not vesting conditions. These features would need to be included in the grant date fair
value for transactions with employees and others providing similar services; they would not impact the number of
awards expected to vest or valuation thereof subsequent to grant date. All cancellations, whether by the entity or
by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. The amendments do not have any impact on the
financial results and position.

• Amendments to FRS 127 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements: Cost of an Investment in a Subsidiary,
Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate" (effective from 1 January 2010) removes the definition of the cost method
from FRS 127 and replaces it with a requirement to present dividends as income in the separate financial statements
of the investor. The amendment has resulted in distribution of dividends from profits prior to the date of acquisition
being recognised as dividend income in the Company’s financial statements.

• Certain amendments to FRSs contained in a document entitled “Improvements to FRSs (2009)” (effective from
1 January 2010) are applicable to the Group but do not have any significant impact on the financial statements
except for:

– Amendment to FRS 107 “Statement of Cash Flows” (effective from 1 January 2010) requires expenditure
resulting in recognition of assets to be categorised as a cash flow from investing activities. The reclassification
has been made retrospectively and comparative statement of cash flows has been restated to conform to the
revised standard as disclosed in Note 37 to the financial statements.

– Amendment to FRS 117 “Leases” (effective from 1 January 2010) requires reassessment on the classification
of leasehold land as finance lease or operating lease based on the extent of risks and rewards associated
with the land. The Group has concluded that the leasehold lands are finance leases and reclassified them
to property, plant and equipment. The reclassification has been made retrospectively and the comparative
consolidated statement of financial position has been restated to conform to the revised standard as disclosed
in Note 37 to the financial statements.

The Group has not early adopted the following standards, amendments to standards and IC Interpretations that have
been issued as these are effective for financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2011.

• The revised FRS 3 "Business Combinations" (effective prospectively from 1 July 2010). The revised standard
continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. There is a
choice on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value
or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs
should be expensed. Amendments to FRS 3 (effective from 1 January 2011) clarifies that the choice of measuring
non-controlling interests at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets applies only to
instruments that represent present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
net assets in the event of liquidation. All other components of non-controlling interest are measured at fair value
unless another measurement basis is required by FRS. The Group will apply the revised FRS 3 and amendments
prospectively to all business combination from 1 January 2011.

• The revised FRS 124 “Related Party Disclosures” (effective from 1 January 2012) removes the exemption to disclose
transactions between government-related entities and the government, and all other government-related entities.
The following new disclosures are now required for government-related entities:
– The name of the government and the nature of the relationship;
– The nature and amount of each individually significant transaction; and
– The extent of any collectively significant transactions, qualitatively or quantitatively.

The Group has not early adopted the following standards, amendments to standards and IC Interpretations that have
been issued as these are effective for financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2011 (continued).

• The revised FRS 127 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” (effective prospectively from 1 July 2010)
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. When this standard is
effective, all earnings and losses of the subsidiary are attributed to the parent and the non-controlling interest,
even if the attribution of losses to the non-controlling interest results in a debit balance in the shareholders’ equity.
Profit or loss attribution to non-controlling interests for prior years is not restated. The standard also specifies the
accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value, and a gain or
loss is recognised in profit or loss. The Group will apply the revised FRS 127 prospectively to transactions with
non-controlling interests from 1 January 2011. The revised FRS is not expected to have any material impact on the
financial results and position.

• Amendments to FRS 2 (effective from 1 July 2010) clarify that contributions of a business on formation of a joint
venture and common control transactions are outside the scope of FRS 2. Amendments to FRS 2 “Share-based
payment: Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions” (effective from 1 January 2011) clarify that an entity
that receives goods or services in a share-based payment arrangement must account for those goods or services no
matter which entity in the group settles the transaction, and no matter whether the transaction is settled in shares or
cash. The amendments also incorporate guidance previously included in IC Interpretation 8 “Scope of FRS 2” and IC
Interpretation 11 “FRS 2 – group and treasury share transactions”, which shall be withdrawn upon application of this
amendment. The amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the financial results and position.

• Amendments to FRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations” (effective from 1 July 2010)
clarify that all of a subsidiary's assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale plan results
in loss of control. Relevant disclosure should be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued operation
is met. The amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the financial results and position.

• Amendments to FRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures” (effective from 1 January 2011) require enhanced
disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. In particular, the amendment requires disclosure of fair
value measurements by fair value measurement hierarchy. The amendments are not expected to have any material
impact on the financial results and position.

• Amendments to FRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, FRS 132 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and
FRS 139 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” (effective from 1 January 2011) eliminate the
exemption for contingent consideration, do not apply to contingent consideration that arose from business
combinations whose acquisition date precede the application of revised FRS 3 “Business Combination” (2010).
Those contingent consideration arrangements are to be accounted for in accordance with the guidance in FRS 3
“Business Combination” (2005). The amendments are not expected to have any material impact on the financial

whether such arrangements are, or contain, leases. The assessment is based on the substance of the arrangement
and requires assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset
and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. If the arrangement contains a lease, the requirements of
FRS 117 “Leases” should be applied to the lease element of the arrangement. No material impact on the financial
results and position arising from application of this IC interpretation.

• Amendments to IC Interpretation 9 (effective from 1 July 2010) clarify that this interpretation does not apply to

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items that are considered material in relation
to the financial statements.

(a) Basis of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those corporations or entities in which the Group has power to exercise 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 the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or
convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated
using the purchase method of accounting.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the financial year
are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition or the date on which control is
transferred to the Group, up to the date of their disposal or the date on which control ceases.

At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiaries’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are
determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. At the same time, the cost of an
acquisition is measured as fair value of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable
to the acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the subsidiaries’
identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition is reflected as goodwill on consolidation. Goodwill is included in the
statements of financial position as an intangible asset. See accounting policy Note 3(d) on intangible assets.

Minority interests at the reporting date, being the portion of the net assets of subsidiaries attributable to equity
interests that are not owned by the Company, whether directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, are presented
in the statements of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity
attributable to the equity holders of the Company. Minority interests in the results of the Group are presented on
the face of the consolidated income statement as an allocation of the total profit or loss for the year between
minority interests and the equity holder of the Company.

Where losses applicable to the minority exceed the minority’s interests in the equity of a subsidiary, the excess, and
any further losses applicable to the minority, are charged against the Group’s interest except to the extent that the
minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make additional investment to cover the losses. If the subsidiary
subsequently reports profits, the Group’s interest is allocated all such profits until the minority’s share of losses
previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered.

All intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are
eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transactions provide evidences of an impairment of
the asset transferred. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure
consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.

Gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is determined by comparing the net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share
of its net assets at the date of disposal. The difference is included in the consolidated income statement.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
31 December 2010

Continued

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)

(ii) Transactions with minority interests

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external
to the Group. For purchases of additional interests from minority interests, the excess of the cost of acquisition
over the relevant share of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired is reflected as goodwill.
Negative goodwill is recognised immediately in the income statement. For disposal to minority interests, differences
between any proceeds received and the relevant share of minority interests and goodwill are included in the income
statement.

(iii) Jointly controlled entity



Jointly controlled entity is an entity over which there is contractually agreed sharing of control by the Group with
one or more parties where the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the entity require unanimous
consent of the parties sharing control.

The Group’s interest in jointly controlled entity is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the
equity method of accounting. Equity accounting involves recognising the Group’s share of the post-acquisition
results of the jointly controlled entity in the consolidated income statement and its share of post-acquisition
movements within reserves in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost
of the investment and include goodwill on acquisition (net of accumulated impairment loss). Equity accounting is
discontinued when the Group ceases to have joint control over the jointly controlled entity.

Where necessary, adjustments have been made to the financial statements of the jointly controlled entity to ensure
consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.

(b) Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). These financial statements
are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

When there is a change in an entity’s functional currency, the entity shall apply the translation procedures applicable
to the new functional currency prospectively from the date of the change.

142 maxis berhad annual report 2010


3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(b) Foreign currencies (continued)

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group entities using
the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency
at exchange rates ruling at the date.

Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and the translation of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end are recognised in the income statement.

(iii)
Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary
economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the
presentation currency as follows:

• assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the
date of that statement of financial position;
• income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average
is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in
which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
• all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations are
taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of, exchange differences that were recorded in
equity are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(iv)
Closing rates

The principal closing rates used in translation of foreign currency amounts were as follows:

Foreign currency 2010 2009


RM RM

1 Euro (“EURO”) 4.09 4.94


1 Pound Sterling (“GBP”) 4.76 5.55

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes
expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. The cost of certain property,
plant and equipment items include the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the sites on which these
items are located. These costs are due to obligations incurred either when the items were installed or as a consequence
of having used these items during a particular period.

Certain telecommunication assets are stated at the amount of cash or cash equivalent that would have to be paid if the
same or an equivalent asset was acquired. Included in telecommunications equipment are purchased computer software
costs which are integral to such equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when
it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are
charged to the income statement during the year in which they are incurred.

Freehold land is not depreciated as it has an infinite life.

Leasehold lands and buildings held for own use are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases
of other assets.

Long term leasehold land is land with a remaining lease period exceeding fifty years. Leasehold land is amortised over
the lease term on a straight line method, summarised as follows:

Long term leasehold land 77 – 90 years


Short term leasehold land 50 years

All property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight line method to write off the cost of each category of
assets to its residual value over its estimated useful life, summarised as follows:

Buildings 42 – 50 years
Telecommunications equipment 4 – 20 years
Submarine cables (included within telecommunications equipment) 10 – 25 years
Site decommissioning works
(included within telecommunications equipment) 15 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Office furniture, fittings and equipment 3 – 7 years

Capital work-in-progress comprising mainly telecommunications equipment, submarine cables and renovations are not
depreciated until they are ready for their intended use.

Residual values and useful lives are reassessed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting date.

144 maxis berhad annual report 2010


3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(c) Property, plant and equipment (continued)

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any impairment. Where an indication of impairment exists,
the carrying amount of the asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. See accounting
policy Note 3(g) on impairment of assets.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are included in the
income statement.

(d) Intangible assets

(i) Acquired telecommunication licences with allocated spectrum rights

The Group acquires other intangible assets either as part of a business combination or through separate acquisition.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition and
recognised separately from goodwill. On initial acquisition, management judgment is applied to determine the
appropriate allocation of purchase consideration to the assets being acquired, including goodwill and identifiable
intangible assets.

Intangible assets that are considered to have a finite life are amortised on a straight line basis over the period of
expected benefit. Intangible assets that are considered to have an infinite economic useful life are not amortised
but tested for impairment in accordance with Note 3(g) on an annual basis, or where an indication of impairment
exists. The acquired intangible assets include telecommunication licences with allocated spectrum rights which have
infinite economic useful life.

Management assesses the infinite economic useful life assumption applied to the acquired intangible assets annually.

(ii) Goodwill

Goodwill arises on the acquisitions of subsidiaries and it represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the
Group’s interest in the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree at
the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Negative goodwill is recognised immediately
in the income statement.

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing and is tested annually for
impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. See
accounting policy Note 3(g) on impairment of assets. Each cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units
represents the lowest level within the Group at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and
which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Expenditures incurred in providing the customer a free or subsidised handset, provided the customer signs a non-
cancellable contract for a predetermined contractual period, are capitalised as intangible assets and amortised over
the contractual period on a straight line method. Handset subsidies are assessed at each reporting date whether there
is any indication that the handset subsidies may be impaired. See accounting policy Note 3(g) on impairment of assets.

(e) Investments in subsidiaries

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. See accounting policy Note 3(g) on
impairment of assets.

(f) 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.

(i) Classification and measurement

Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held-to
maturity, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the
financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

The Group does not hold any financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. Financial assets in this category are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs and
subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Changes in the carrying value of these
assets are recognised in the income statement.

Financial assets are classified as current assets; except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting
date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.

The Group’s loans and receivables comprise receivables, cash and cash equivalents in the statements of financial position.

(i) Classification and measurement (continued)

Financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, other
financial liabilities and financial guarantee contracts. Management determines the classification of its financial
liabilities at initial recognition.

The Group does not hold any financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss and financial guarantee
contracts.

Other financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities. Other financial liabilities are initially recognised at
fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Changes in the carrying value of these liabilities are recognised in the income statement.

The Group’s other financial liabilities comprise payables and borrowings in the statements of financial position.
Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities; except for maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting
date, in which case they are classified as non-current liabilities.

(ii) Recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.

(iii) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets are derecognised when the risks and rewards relating to the financial assets have expired or have
been fully transferred or have been partially transferred with no control over the same.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is either discharged, cancelled, has expired or has been
restructured with substantially different terms.

(iv) Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis, or realise the net asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(g) Impairment of assets

(i) Non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.
Assets that have a finite economic useful life are subject to amortisation and are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An 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 fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows
(cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible
reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Any impairment loss is charged to the income statement. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. In respect
of other assets, any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement to the extent
that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(ii)
Financial assets

Fnancial assets carried at amortised cost are impaired when there is objective evidence as a result of one or more
events that the present value of estimated discounted future cash flows is lower than the carrying value. Any
impairment losses are recognised immediately in the income statement.

Financial assets are continuously monitored and allowances applied against financial assets consist of both specific
impairments and collective impairments based on the Group’s historical loss experiences for the relevant aged
category and taking into account general economic conditions. Historical loss experience allowances are calculated
by line of business in order to reflect the specific nature of the financial assets relevant to that line of business.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised impairment
loss is recognised in the income statement.

(h) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently
remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative
is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

The Group designates and documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments
and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions.
The Group assesses both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values cash flows of hedged items and applies hedge accounting
only where effectiveness tests are met on both a prospective and retrospective basis. The full fair value of a hedging
derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12
months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

148 maxis berhad annual report 2010


3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(h) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (continued)

The Group does not have any fair value hedges and net investment hedges.

Cash flow hedge

The Group uses cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of variability of future cash flows attributable to foreign currency
and interest rate fluctuations over the hedging period on the foreign currency borrowings. Where a cash flow hedge
qualifies for hedge accounting, the effective portion of gains and losses on remeasuring the fair value of the hedging
instrument are recognised directly in equity in the cash flow hedging reserve until such time as the hedged items affect
profit or loss, then the gains or losses are transferred to the income statement. Gains or losses on any portion of the
hedge determined to be ineffective are recognised immediately in the income statement. The application of hedge
accounting will create some volatility in equity reserve balances.

Where a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge
accounting, any cumulative gains or losses existing in equity at that time remain in equity and are recognised when
the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. Where a forecast transaction is no longer
expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses that were reported in equity are immediately transferred to the income
statement.

(i) Fair value estimates

The fair value of the derivative and financial assets and financial liabilities are estimated for recognition and measurement
or for disclosure purposes.

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Group makes certain assumptions and applies the estimated
discounted value of future cash flows to determine the fair value of financial instruments. The fair values of financial
assets and financial liabilities are estimated by discounting future cash flows at the current interest rate available to the
respective companies.

The face values for financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to be
approximately equal to their fair values.

For derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value, the fair values are determined using a valuation
technique which utilises data from recognised financial information sources. Assumptions are based on market conditions
existing at each reporting date. The fair value is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flow using an
appropriate market based yield curve.

(j) Inventories

Inventories, which comprise telecommunications components, incidentals and devices, are stated at the lower of cost
and net realisable value. Cost includes the actual cost of materials and incidentals in bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition, and is determined on a weighted average basis. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(k) Receivables

Receivables are carried at invoice amount and/or income earned less an allowance for impairment. The allowance is
established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to
the original terms of receivables. When the debt becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are recognised in the income statement.

(l) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with licensed banks, other short term, highly
liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are included
within borrowings in current liabilities on the statements of financial position. For the purposes of the statements of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of pledged deposits.

(m) Share capital

(i) Classification

Ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares with discretionary dividends are classified as equity. Other
shares are classified as equity and/or liability according to the economic substance of the particular instrument.
Distributions to holder of a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument are charged directly to equity.

(ii) Share issue costs

External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are deducted, net of tax, against proceeds and shown
in equity.

(iii) Dividends to shareholders of the Company

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period they are declared.

(n) Payables

Payables, including accruals, represent liabilities for goods received and services rendered to the Group prior to the end
of the financial year and which remain unpaid. Payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.

150 maxis berhad annual report 2010


3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(o) Borrowings

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the income statement
when incurred.

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it
is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down
occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is
capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

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.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-
current liabilities.

(i) Borrowings in a designated hedging relationship

Borrowings subject to cash flow hedges are recognised initially at fair value based on the applicable spot price plus
any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of borrowing. These borrowings are subsequently
carried at amortised costs, translated at applicable spot exchange rate at reporting date. Any difference between
the final amount paid to discharge the borrowing and the initial proceeds is recognised in the income statement
over the borrowing period using the effective interest method.

Currency gains or losses on the borrowings are recognised in the income statement, along with the associated
gains or losses on the hedging instrument, which have been transferred from the cash flow hedging reserve to the
income statement.

(ii) Borrowings not in a designated hedging relationship

Borrowings not in a designated hedging relationship are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the issue of borrowing. These borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised costs.
Any difference between the final amount paid to discharge the borrowing and the initial proceeds is recognised in
the income statement over the borrowing period using the effective interest method.

(p) Provisions for liabilities and charges

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. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle
the obligation by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments
of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time
is recognised as interest expense.

(p) Provisions for liabilities and charges (continued)

(i) Site rectification and decommissioning works

Provision for site rectification works is based on management’s best estimate and the past trend of costs for
rectification works to be carried out to fulfil new regulatory guidelines and requirements imposed after network
cell sites were built.

Provision for decommissioning works is the estimated costs of dismantling and removing the structures on identified
sites and restoring these sites. This obligation is incurred either when the items are installed or as a consequence of
having used the items during a particular period.

(ii) Network construction costs and settlements

Provisions for network construction costs and settlements are made in respect of network construction projects
which are under notices of termination, legal claims, negotiations for settlements and costs in respect of obligations
under network construction contracts.

(iii) Staff incentive scheme

Provision for staff incentive scheme is based on management’s best estimate of the amount payable as at reporting
date based on the performance of individual employees and financial performance of the Group.

(q) Income taxes

Current tax expenses are 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 foreign subsidiaries or jointly
controlled entity on distribution of retained earnings to companies in the Group), and real property gains taxes payable
on disposal of properties.

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. However,
deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future 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 and jointly controlled entity
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.

152 maxis berhad annual report 2010


3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(q) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting
date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets shall reflect the tax consequences that would follow
from the manner in which the entity expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets
and liabilities.

(r) Finance leases and hire purchase agreements



Leases and hire purchases of property, plant and equipment where the Group assumes substantially all benefits and risks
of ownership are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value and the present value of the
minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a
constant rate of interest on the finance lease balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance
charges, are included in borrowings. The interest element of the finance charge is charged to the income statement over
the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each
period.

Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases or hire purchase agreements are depreciated over the
shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

(s) Operating leases

Leases of assets where a significant portion of risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as
operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis
over the lease period.

(t) Employee benefits

(i) Short term employee benefits

Wages, salaries, paid annual leaves, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the financial year in which
the associated services are rendered by employees including full-time Executive Directors of the Group. The Group
recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive
obligation.

(ii)
Post-employment benefits

Defined contribution plans

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity
and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient
assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

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.

(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 the reporting
date are discounted to present value.

(u) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the
ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of service tax, returns, rebates, discounts and after
eliminating sales within the Group.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.
The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been
resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of
transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

(i) Telecommunications revenue

Revenues of mobile postpaid services and fixed line services are recognised at the time of customer usage and when
services are rendered. Service discounts and incentives are accounted as a reduction of revenue when granted.

Unutilised amounts on certain mobile postpaid rate plans are deferred up to one month. Unutilised amounts
exceeding one month are recognised as breakage revenue.

Revenue of mobile prepaid services comprises sales of starter packs and prepaid top-up tickets. Revenue from sales
of starter packs is recognised at the point of sale to third parties. Revenue from sales of prepaid top-up tickets is
recognised when services are rendered. The credits on prepaid top-up tickets can be deferred up to the point of
customer churn, after which such amounts are recognised as revenue.

(u) Revenue recognition (continued)

(i) Telecommunications revenue (continued)

Unutilised credits of prepaid top-up tickets sold to customers and distributors and unutilised airtime on certain
postpaid rate plans which have been deferred as described above are recognised as deferred revenue.

Revenue for provision of network facilities, public switched services, internet services and internet application
services are recognised at the time of customer usage and when services are rendered. Service discounts and
incentives are accounted as a reduction of revenue when granted.

Revenue earned from carriers for international gateway services is recognised at the time the calls occur and when
services are rendered.

Revenue from the sale of device is recognised upon the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods to the customer which generally coincides with delivery and acceptance of the goods sold.

Where the Group’s role in a transaction is that of a principal, revenue is recognised on a gross basis. This requires
revenue to comprise the gross value of the transaction billed to the customer, after trade discounts, with any related
expenditure charged as an operating cost. Where the Group’s role in a transaction is that of an agent, revenue is
recognised on a net basis and represents the margin earned.

(ii)
Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

(iii)
Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal outstanding and the
effective interest rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Group.

(v) Government grants

As a Universal Service Provider (“USP”), the Group is entitled to claim certain qualified expenses from the relevant
authorities in relation to USP projects. The claim qualifies as a government grant and is recognised at its fair value where
there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all the attached conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the income statement over the financial period
necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of assets are included as deferred income and are credited to the income
statement on the straight line basis over the expected useful lives of the related assets.

(w) Contingent liabilities

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 the occurrence of one or
more 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.

In the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group under a business combination, the contingent liabilities assumed are
measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interests.

The Group recognises separately the contingent liabilities of the acquiree as part of allocating the cost of a business
combination where their fair values can be measured reliably. Where the fair values cannot be measured reliably, the
resulting effect will be reflected in the goodwill arising from the acquisition.

Subsequent to the initial recognition, the Group measures the contingent liabilities that are recognised separately at the
date of acquisition at the higher of the amount that would be recognised in accordance with the provisions of FRS 137 and
the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with FRS 118.

(x) Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-makers. The chief operating decision-makers are responsible for allocating resources, assessing performance of
the operating segments and making strategic decisions.

Segment revenues and expenses are those amounts resulting from the operating activities of a segment that are directly
attributable to the segment and the relevant portion that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to the segment.
Segment revenues and expenses are determined before intragroup balances and intragroup transactions are eliminated
as part of the consolidation process, except to the extent that such intragroup balances and transactions are between
group companies within a single segment.

156 maxis berhad annual report 2010


4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated by the Directors and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
rarely equal the related actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables that are
anticipated to have material impact on the Group’s results and financial position are tested for sensitivity to changes in the
underlying parameters. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.

(a) Intangible assets

The telecommunications licences with allocated spectrum rights are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually
for impairment as the Directors are of the opinion that the licences can be renewed in perpetuity at negligible cost and
the associated spectrum rights, similar to land, have an infinite economic useful life. Correspondingly, deferred tax has
not been recognised.

The estimated economic useful life reflects the Group’s expectation of the period over which the Group will continue to
recover benefits from the licence.

The economic useful life is periodically reviewed, taking into consideration such factors as changes in technology and
regulatory environment.

(b) Estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Group reviews annually the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment based on factors such as
business plans and strategies, expected level of usage and future technological developments. It is possible that future
results of operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by changes in the factors
mentioned. A reduction in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment would increase the recorded
depreciation and decrease the carrying value of property, plant and equipment. See Note 15 to the financial statements
for the impact on the changes in the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment.

5 SEGMENT REPORTING

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services, and has three
reportable operating segments as follows:

(i) mobile services comprise postpaid mobile, prepaid mobile, mobile data, broadband and roaming services;

(ii) fixed line services comprise a full suite of voice services, data services, VSAT services and IP and managed services to
consumers and business customers; and

(iii) international gateway services comprise services to international telecommunications carriers for termination of traffic
into Malaysia, services to send the Group’s own international traffic abroad and bandwidth leasing services.

The Group also provides other services which are currently not significant enough to be reported separately.

Inter-segment revenues comprise network services and management services rendered to other business segments within the
Group. Some transactions are transacted at normal commercial terms that are no more favourable than that available to other
third parties whilst the rest are allocated based on an equitable basis of allocation. There have been no significant changes to
the basis of pricing inter-segment transfers.

The Group assesses the performance of the operating segments based on measure of revenue and profit from operations.
Finance income and costs are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury function, which
manages the cash position of the Group. Tax expenses are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is measured at
entity based rather than taxation on segments.

Additions to non-current assets are the total costs incurred during the financial year to acquire property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets.

12 TAX EXPENSES (CONTINUED)

The gazetted Finance Act 2007 introduced a single tier company income tax system with effect from year of assessment 2008.
Under the single tier system, 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 the shareholder. The Section
108 tax credit as at 31 December 2007 will be available to the companies until such time the credit is fully utilised or upon
expiry of the 6-year transitional period on 31 December 2013, whichever is earlier, unless the company opts to disregard the
Section 108 credits to pay single tier dividends under the special transitional provisions of the Finance Act 2007.

Subject to agreement by the tax authorities, a subsidiary of the Group has sufficient Section 108 tax credits to frank
approximately RM7,239,000 (2009: RM7,239,000) of its retained earnings if paid out as dividends.

13 BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share of the Group is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the
Company for the financial year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year.

16 INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Impairment testing for cash-generated units containing goodwill

For the purpose of impairment testing, carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the Group’s cash-generated units (“CGU”)
identified as mobile services.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow
projections based on internal approved financial budgets covering a five-year period which reflect management’s expectations
of revenue and EBITDA margin based on past experience and future expectations of business performance.

The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are as follows:

(a) 5 years financial budget period; and

(b) pre tax discount rate of 14.6% derived in accordance with the requirements of FRS 136 "Impairment of Assets" using
the Group's post-tax discount rate of 8.5%.

The key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends in the regional mobile telecommunications industry
and are based on both external sources and internal sources.

The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the mobile services.

The forecasts are most sensitive to changes in discount rates in the forecast period. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed,
the management has concluded that any variation of ten percent in the base case assumptions would not cause the carrying
amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

28 PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES AND CHARGES (CONTINUED)

Site rectification and decommissioning works

In the current financial year, a provision of RM137,063,000 (2009: RM132,286,000) has been recognised for dismantlement,
removal and site restoration costs. The provision is estimated using the assumption that decommissioning will only take place
upon the expiry of the lease terms (inclusive of secondary terms) of 15 to 30 years (2009: 15 years). The provision has been
estimated based on the current conditions of the sites, at the estimated costs to be incurred upon the expiry of lease terms
and discounted at the current market interest rate available to the Group. The provisions will be utilised over the remaining
lease periods which range from 1 to 16 years (2009: 1 to 15 years).

Network construction cost and settlements

In the Directors’ opinion, the outcome of the notices of termination, legal claims, negotiations for settlements and costs in
respect of obligations under network construction contracts will not give rise to any significant loss beyond the amounts
provided at the reporting date.

At the reporting date, the Group has recognised derivative financial liabilities of RM348,452,000 on remeasuring the fair
values of the derivative financial instruments. The corresponding increase has been included in equity in the cashflow hedging
reserve of which RM249,595,000 for the current year was transferred to the income statements to offset the unrealised gain
of RM240,125,000 which arose from the strengthening of RM against USD and to recognise additional interest expense of
RM9,470,000 as the underlying interest rates were lower than the hedged interest rates on the USD850,000,000 syndicated
loans. This has resulted in a debit balance in the cashflow hedging reserve as at 31 December 2010 of RM98,857,000.

The gains or losses recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve in equity as at 31 December 2010 will be continuously
released to the income statement within finance cost until the underlying borrowings are repaid.

As the Group and the Company intend to hold the syndicated term loans and associated derivative instruments to maturity,
any changes to the fair values of the derivative instruments will not impact the income statements and will be taken to the
cash flow hedging reserve in equity.

The method and assumption applied in determining the fair value of derivatives are disclosed in Note 3(i) to the financial
statements.

32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (interest rate risk and foreign exchange
risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability
of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses
derivative financial instruments to hedge designated risk exposures of the underlying hedge items and does not enter into
derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Financial risk management is carried out by the Chief Financial Officer in consultation with the relevant departments under
policies/mandates approved by the Board of Directors. The policy provides written principles for overall risk management, as
well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and use of derivative
financial instruments.

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flow of the financial instruments that the Group has will fluctuate
because of changes in market prices. The various components of market risk that the Group is exposed to are discussed
below.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The objectives of the Group’s currency risk management policies are to allow the Group to effectively manage the
foreign exchange fluctuation against its functional currency that may arise from future commercial transactions
and recognised assets and liabilities. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to manage foreign
exchange exposures arising from all known material foreign currency denominated commitments as and when they
arise and to hedge the movements in exchange rates by establishing the rate at which a foreign currency monetary
item will be settled. Gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts entered into as hedges of foreign
currency monetary items are recognised in the financial statements when the exchange differences of the hedged
monetary items are recognised in the financial statements. Cross currency interest rate swap contracts are also used
to hedge the volatility in the cash flow attributable to variability in the foreign currency denominated borrowings
at the inception to maturity of the borrowings.

The currency exposure of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and Company that are not
denominated in the functional currency of the respective companies are set out below. Currency risks in respect of
intragroup receivables and payables have been included in the Group’s currency exposure table as this exposure is
not eliminated at the Group level.

The impacts on profit before tax for the year are mainly as a result of foreign currency gains/losses on translation
of USD denominated receivables, deposits and bank balances and payables. For USD denominated borrowings, as
these are effectively hedged, the foreign currency movements will not have any impact on the income statement.

Other balances denominated in foreign currencies are not significant and hence, profit is not materially impacted.

of fixed and floating interest rate debt and derivative financial instruments. The Group adopts a non-speculative
stance which favours predictability over short term interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate profile of the Group’s
borrowings is also regularly reviewed against prevailing and anticipated market interest rates to determine whether
refinancing or early repayment is warranted.

The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using cross currency interest rate swaps. Such swaps have the
economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates.

The net exposure of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company to interest rate
risk (before and after taking effect of cross currency interest rate swap contract) and the periods in which the
borrowings mature or reprice (whichever is earlier) are as follows:

(a) Market risk (continued)

(ii) Interest rate risk (continued)

The sensitivity of the Group’s profit before tax for the year and equity to a reasonably possible change in Ringgit
Malaysia and US Dollar interest rates with all other factors held constant and based on composition of liabilities with
floating interest rates at the reporting date are as follows:

Impact on profit before tax for the year Impact on equity (1)

Group Company Company

(1)
Represents cashflow hedging reserve

The impacts on profit before tax for the year are mainly as a result of interest expenses/income on floating rate
payables, loan from a related party, loan from immediate holding company and borrowings not in a designated
hedging relationship. For borrowings in a designated hedging relationship, as these are effectively hedged, the
interest rate movements will not have any impact on the income statement.

(b) Credit risk

The objectives of the Group’s credit risk management policies are to manage its exposure to credit risk from deposits,
cash and bank balances, receivables and derivative financial instruments. It does not expect any third parties to fail to
meet their obligations given the Group’s policy of selecting creditworthy counter parties.

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk as the Group’s policy limits the concentration of financial
exposure to any single counterparty. Credit risk of trade receivables is controlled by the application of credit approvals,
limits and monitoring procedures. Credit risks are minimised and monitored via limiting the Group’s dealings with
creditworthy business partners and customers. Trade receivables are monitored on an on-going basis via the Group’s
management reporting procedures.

For deposits, cash and bank balances, the Group seeks to ensure that cash assets are invested safely and profitably
by assessing counterparty risks and allocating placement limits for various creditworthy financial institutions. As for
derivative financial instruments, the Group enters into the contracts with various reputable counterparties to minimise
the credit risks. The Group considers the risk of material loss in the event of non-performance by the above parties to
be unlikely. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of those financial instruments.

(c) Liquidity risk



The objectives of the Group’s liquidity risk management policies are to monitor rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity
requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, availability of funding by keeping committed
credit lines and to meet external covenant compliance. Surplus cash held is invested in interest bearing money market
deposits and time deposits. The Group is exposed to liquidity risk where there could be difficulty in raising funds to meet
commitments associated with financial instruments.

(d) Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in
order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure
to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
issue new shares or return capital to shareholders.

The Group is also required by the external lenders to maintain financial covenant ratios on net debt to EBITDA and
EBITDA to interest expense. These externally imposed capital requirement and financial covenant ratios have been fully
complied with by the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2010.

206 maxis berhad annual report 2010


32 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

(d) Capital risk management (continued)

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total
equity. Net debt is calculated as total interest bearing financial liabilities (including deferred payment creditors, loan from
a related party, loan from immediate holding company, current and non-current borrowings and derivative financial
liabilities as shown in the statement of financial position and Note 29 to the financial statements respectively) less cash
and cash equivalents. Total equity is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the statement of financial position. The gearing
ratios at 31 December 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

2010 2009
Note RM’000 RM’000

Total interest bearing financial liabilities 5,497,409 5,066,686


Less: Cash and cash equivalents 25 (897,621) (1,192,068)

Net debt 4,599,788 3,874,618

Total equity 8,666,699 8,945,107

Gearing ratio 0.53 0.43

The increase in the gearing ratio during the year resulted primarily from lower cash and cash equivalents and higher
borrowings as at 31 December 2010.

(e) Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of non-current financial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the Company at the reporting
date approximated their fair values except as set out below:

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the
directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements have been properly drawn up in accordance with MASB Approved Accounting Standards
in Malaysia for Entities Other than Private Entities and the Companies Act, 1965 so as to give a true and fair view of the financial
