    Chairmans Statement

    Annual Report 201110

    On b ehalf o f t he Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to p resent t o you th e Annu al Report of the Comp anyand its subsidiaries (Group) for the financial year ended 31 December 2011.

    Groups Performance

    The Group recorded revenue of RM 290.27 million and profit before tax of RM 62.20 million in 201 1 ascompared to RM 231.82 million and 35.28 million respectively in 2010. Profit after tax has increased byalmost 8 0% to RM 46.4 m illion f rom RM 25.87 million in 201 0. As a consequence, the Groups netearnings per share has increased from 7.91 sen to 14.14 sen and net tangible assets per share attributableto o rdinary equity holders of t he parent from 172 sen to 190 sen.

    These increases in revenue and prof it af ter t ax w ere mainly du e to the increases in t he average p rices ofCrude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel (PK) and a 15% increase in the production of Fresh FruitBunches ( FFB) .

    The Group p rodu ced 148,4 51 M etric Tonn es ( M T) of FFB at an average yield of 19 .45 M T per hectarein 2011 as compared to 128,52 0 M T at an average yield of 16.84 M T per hectare in 2010. This includesproduction f rom the new ly mat ured area of about 1,939 h ectares in Paitan, Sabah.

    The Groups Palm Oil M ill prod uced 71 ,333 M T of CPO at an average Oil Extraction Rate of 20.4 9% and16,688 MT of PK at an average Kernel Extraction Rate of 4.79%. In 2011, CPO was sold at an averageprice of RM 3,20 0 per M T wh ereas PK w as sold at an average price of RM 2,15 0 per M T.

    Dividend

    On 29 November 2011, the Group declared a first interim tax exempt (single-tier) dividend of 2% on205 ,978 ,615 ordinary shares (excluding 9,47 8,300 treasury shares) in respect of the financial year ended31 Decemb er 2011 amou nting to RM4 ,119,572, w hich w as fully paid on 22 December 2011.

    At the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, a final tax exempt (single-tier) dividend in respect of thefinancial year ended 31 December 20 11 of 1.5% on 3 08,967 ,910 o rdinary shares amou nting t o a dividendpayable of RM 4,634,519 w ill be propo sed for your approval.

    Prospects

    The average CPO price in 20 11 increased by about 20% to RM 3,200 per M T from RM 2,700 per M T in2010.

    During t he second half o f 2 011 , CPO prices started to ease to arou nd RM 2,800 per M T due to risingsupply and uncertainty from the eurozone crisis. However, towards the end of 2011, prices increased toabove RM 3,000 per MT due to adverse weather affecting supply.

    Average CPO p rice in 20 12 is expected to continue above RM 3,00 0 p er M T as mo st analysts believe th atcrude oil supp lies w ill remain tigh t an d oil prices cont inue to rem ain firm.

    Thus, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group expects higher profit in 2012 as it strives tom aintain a low o perating cost and g earing. M oreover, about 25% of t he Groups tot al planted area, w hichmatured in 2008 and 2009, will significantly enhance the Groups FFB production in 2012.

    The Group also expects positive cont ribution s from its bio-renewab le electricity pro jects aft er 201 2.
