Financial year 2012 continues to be a challenging year, with fluctuating crude oil and raw material prices, as well as volatility of the USD/ exchange rate.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 9 Statement on Corporate Governance The Securities Commission Malaysia released the latest Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance ( the 2012 Code ) in March 2012. Public listed companies with financial year ended 31st December 2012 are expected to make their annual statement on corporate governance based on the principles and recommendations of the 2012 Code. The key focus of the 2012 Code is on the strengthening of the board structure and composition. There are 8 principles and 26 recommendations. The Board has conducted a review of its current practices and proceedings against the principles and recommendations on the 2012 Code. The result of this review was used as the basis of the Board in reporting its applications of the principles in the Code and the actions the Board would take to strengthen its present governance practices. PRINCIPLE 1: Clear Roles and Responsibilities The objective of this principle is to set out the fundamental structures for effective functioning of the board. As it is, the Board has: i. Defined the function of the Board and those to be delegated to management; ii. Addressed and deliberated the various fiduciary duties and its agenda in the board meetings; iii. Defined the terms of reference of each Board Committee in order to ensure the direction and control of the Group is firmly within the Board; iv. Noted the Group s employees code of ethic and briefing procedures to employees; and v. Access to information and advice and the support of a competent and qualified company secretary. Going forward, the Board intends to strengthen its roles and responsibilities in due course by: i. Implementing whistle blowing policy and procedure to provide employee with a mechanism to monitor the compliance of code of ethic; ii. Setting out clearly the code of conduct on ethical behaviours that stakeholders could expect from the Group; iii. Incorporating further areas of the directors fiduciary duties in board meeting agenda and obtaining adequate information needed for the discussion of these agenda; and iv. Defining its business sustainability policy and ensuring its current business decision making process incorporate the elements of Environment, Social and Governance ( ESG ) within its value chain in the business processes. The Board will formalise these actions in its board charter and will create a new page on corporate governance in the present corporate website in order to keep the public and shareholder informed of its progress and status of the above actions. PRINCIPLE 2: Strengthening Board Composition Similar with the previous code, the 2012 Code continues to emphasize the important of right board composition in bringing value to the board deliberation and transparency of policies and procedures in selection and evaluation of board members. The Company continues to be led and controlled by the same board members with professional and business experiences. The Board has six (6) directors, three (3) of them being the Independent Non-Executive Directors and one third being female directors. The Board reviews the composition of the board members annually and ensures that the current composition of the board functions competently. In addition, with the presence of the independent non-executive directors constituting half of the board size, the Board ensures that the broader views and objectivity are brought into the Board s deliberation and decision making processes.

10 LUXCHEM CORPORATION BERHAD (Company No: 224414-D) Statement on Corporate Governance PRINCIPLE 2: Strengthening Board Composition Descriptions of the background of each director presented previously remain substantially unchanged. Therefore, pursuant to Para 9.25 of the Listing Requirements, such information is now published on the corporate website http://www.luxchem.com.my for shareholders reference. In order to ensure that the selection and evaluation of board members are done objectively, the Nomination Committee members are solely made up of independent board members and the Committee is chaired by a senior independent director. Functionally, the Nomination Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendation of any appointments to the Board based on size of the Board, the mix of skills and experience and other qualities director should bring to the Board. New nomination is assessed and recommended to the full Board for appointment. There was no nomination and appointment of new director during the financial year. One (1) meeting was held during the financial period and the appraisals on director, Board Committees and the Board were documented. Executive director is remunerated based on the Group s performance whilst the remuneration of the non-executive directors is determined in accordance with their experience and the level of responsibilities assumed. The number of Directors whose income falls within the following bands is set out as follows: Remuneration Bands Executive Directors Non-Executive 50,000 and below - 3 150,000 200,000 1-450,000 500,000 1-800,000 850,000 1 - The aggregate remuneration paid or payable to all Directors of the Company are further categorised into the following components: Fees* Salaries and other emoluments Bonuses Benefit-inkind EPF and SOCSO Total () () () () () () Executive Directors 8,333 1,025,339 295,598 22,000 162,634 1,513,904 Non-Executive Directors 75,000 7,000 - - 4,500 86,500 * Subject to the approval by shareholders at the AGM.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 11 Statement on Corporate Governance PRINCIPLE 3: Enforcement of Independence Independence is important for ensuring objectivity and fairness in board s decision making. The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and Managing Director continue to be separated and the Chairman of the Board is an independent director. The Board had identified Mr. Chan Wan Siew to act as the Senior Independent Director to provide shareholders with an alternative to convey their concerns and seek clarifications from the Board. Mr. Chan Wan Siew s email address can be contacted at PWChan@luxchem.com.my. Going forward, in order to uphold independence of independent directors, the Board has adopted the following recommendation of the Code as Board s policies: i. Subject to Board justification and shareholders approval, tenure of independent directors should not exceed a cummulative nine (9) years; and ii. Board to undertake an annual assessment of independence of its independent directors focusing on events that would affect the ability of independent directors to continue bringing independent and objective judgment to board deliberation and the regulatory definition of independent directors. As the Company was listed on 27 June 2008, none of the Independent Directors were appointed more than 9 years as of todate. PRINCIPLE 4: Foster Commitment The underlying factors of directors commitment to the Group are devotion of time and continuous improvement of knowledge and skillsets. During the financial year, five (5) Board meetings were held and these meetings were fully attended by all the directors. Effective 1st June 2013, the maximum directorships in public listed companies is reduced from 10 to 5 under the amended listing requirements. In order to further strenghten the directors commitement, internally, the Board sets the maximum executive directorship of each members in public listed companies shall not be more than two (2). Directors recognise the needs to attend trainings to enable the directors to discharge their duties effectively. The training needs of each director would be identified and proposed by the individual directors and Nomination Committee annually upon completion of director performance appraisals. During the year, the Directors have participated in various relevant training programmes to enhance their skills and knowledge and to keep abreast with the relevant change in laws, regulations and business environment. Additionally, the Directors continue to broaden their industry and professional knowledge continuously through their association with their business and corporate stakeholders and participation in the events conducted by them.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012 13 Statement on Corporate Governance PRINCIPLE 5: Uphold of Integrity in Financial Reporting The Audit Committee has the responsibility to ensure the Group s financial statements comply with applicable financial reporting standards. In order to do so, the Audit Committee has obtained written assurance from: i. External auditors confirming that they are, and have been, independent throughout the conduct of the audit engagement in accordance with the terms of all relevant professional and regulatory requirements; and ii. CFO confirming that the preparation of the financial statements, all relevant approved accounting standards and policies have been adopted, applied and followed in the financial statement with reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates. Annually, the Audit Committee also reviews the appointment, performance and remuneration of the External Auditors before recommending them to the shareholders for re-appointment in the AGM. The Audit Committee would convene meeting with the External Auditors and Internal Auditors without the presence of the Executive Directors and employees of the Group as and when necessary. During the financial year, the Audit Committee conducted one (1) meeting with the External Auditors without the presence of the Executive Directors and employees of the Company. PRINCIPLE 6: Risk Recognition and Management LCB acknowledges that risk management is an integral part of good management practice. Risk is inherent in all business activities. But, it is not the Group s objective to eliminate risk totally. Instead, it is to provide structural means to identify, prioritize and manage the risks involved in all the Group s activities and to balance between the cost of managing and treating risks, and the anticipated benefits that will be derived. In order to further strengthening the present risk management and internal control systems in the Group, the Board would work with the management in: i. Approving the Group s policy and framework in Risk Management; ii. Determining and approving the board risk tolerance; iii. Ensuring the risk management framework is embedded into key functions in the Group; iv. Identifying principal risks, emerging and changes of risks impacting the Group s objectives and strategies; and v. Reviewing risk management actions and management risk report and assessing the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system in managing risks in accordance with the Group s risk appetite and policies The Board has established an internal audit function which is currently outsourced to a professional firm. Functionally, the internal auditors report to the Audit Committee directly and they are responsible for conducting regular reviews and appraisals of the effectiveness of the governance, risk management and internal controls processes within the Group. Further details of the Group s state of risk management and internal control systems are reported in the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control on pages 17 to 18.

14 LUXCHEM CORPORATION BERHAD (Company No: 224414-D) Statement on Corporate Governance PRINCIPLE 7: Timely and High Quality Disclosure Corporate disclosure and information are important for investors and shareholders. The Board is advised by the management, the Company Secretary and the External and Internal Auditors on the contents and timing of disclosure requirements of the Bursa Malaysia Listing Requirements on the financial result and various announcements. The management is invited to attend the Board and Audit Committee meetings and to provide explanations to the Board on the operations of the Group. The Board would leverage on its corporate website to communicate, disseminate and add depth to the governance reporting. Those principal governance information such as board charter, board committees terms of reference, would be separately published in the website to avoid dilution of issues in the annual report or various announcements. PRINCIPLE 8: Exercise of Shareholders Right General meetings are an important avenue through which shareholder can exercise their rights. Shareholders are reminded that they have the right to demand a poll vote at general meetings. Also, effective 1st June 2013, poll voting is mandated for related party transactions that require specific shareholders approval. In order to encourage shareholders participation in the general meetings, LCB would: i. Take into consideration of the traffic condition, public, festive and school holidays, accessibility and parking facilities in selecting the location for conducting shareholders meetings; and ii.

THE REVIEW MECHANISM There are two aspects of review of system of internal control in the organisation. The first aspect of the review is undertaken by the management while the second aspect constitutes the independent review performed by the Audit Committee. The presence of the internal audit function supports this review mechanism by reviewing and reporting the status of management control procedures to the Audit Committee. Besides reviewing the systems of internal control, the Audit Committee also reviews the financial information and reports produced by the management. In this case, the Audit Committee in consultation with the management deliberates the integrity of the financial results, annual report and audited financial statements before recommending to the Board.

Before producing this Statement, the Board has received assurance from the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer that, to the best of their knowledge that the Group s risk management and internal control systems are operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects. BOARD ASSURANCE AND LIMITATION For the financial year under review, the Board is satisfied that the existing level of systems of internal control and risk management are effective to enable the Group to achieve its business objectives and there were no material losses resulted from significant control problem that would require separate disclosure in the Annual Report. Nonetheless, the Board recognises that the systems of internal control should be continuously improved in line with the evolving business development. It should also be noted that all risk management systems and systems of internal control could only manage rather than eliminate risks of failure to achieve business objectives. Therefore, these systems of internal control and risk management in the Group can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatements, frauds and losses.
