13 Review Of Major Operations Review Of Major Operations

17.46% % Oleochemical  Demand for the division’s oleochemical products remained strong in the six months financial year ending 2011 because of the aggressive marketing & pricing strategy and dynamic production modules to suit customers’ needs.  Revenue for the six months ending 2011 was higher by 17.46% compared to year ended 2010 as a result of higher sales volume and higher average selling price realised on sales.  Pre-tax profit was also significantly higher at RM7.2 million in the six months for the current financial year because of higher sales and a forex gain in FY2011 as compared to a forex loss in FY2010. Review of Major Operations 14

33.16% % Palm Oil Plantation The much improved results recorded by the division for the 6 months ending FY2011 is mainly due to higher production and sales volume, higher CPO selling prices achieved and profit margin earned on sales. Increased FFB quantities processed. Oil Extraction Rate (OER) achieved in the 1 st 6-months was 23.35%. Review of Major Operations 15

Review of Major Operations 16 Private Healthcare  The Healthcare division has now registered profit in two consecutive quarters in FY2011 as against the two quarter of losses recorded in the previous corresponding periods in FY2010.  The improved results is contributed mainly by the higher in-patient revenue recorded in the 1 st 6-months of FY2011. The division is continuing with its efforts to aggressively market itself as a tertiary hospital of choice in the surrounding areas in Klang & Indonesia besides initiatives to also tap into the regional medical tourism market to broaden its income base % % RM’000

Review of Major Operations 17 Warehouse & Conveying Revenue and pre-tax profit from the warehousing and conveying division reduced marginally during the six months of FY2011 as against the previous corresponding six months in FY2010, mainly because of lower throughput handled by the division in FY2011 against FY2010. RM’ % 22.84%

Business Outlook Oleochemical SAB’s oleo-chemical division is likely to enjoy robust growth in in tandem with industry trends in Southeast Asia, fuelled by a short-term hike in demand from consumer markets and wider availability of raw materials such as palm oil, palm kernel oil. Growing markets for green chemicals and uses in new applications (eg. bio-lubricants, green chemicals, bio-plastics and biopolymers) may stimulate long-term growth in the regional oleochemical industry. Prices of fatty acids in Asia are dependent on feedstock palm kernel, palm stearin and CPO prices and tend to follow the price trends of these raw materials. Oil Palm Plantation SAB’s plantation division is expected to benefit in the next financial quarter FY2011 from the current hike in CPO prices which is trading at above RM3,500/mt. 18

Business Outlook Private Health Care SAB’s Private Health Care Division’s turnaround of financial performance during the 1 st & 2 nd financial quarters FY2011 stems from its aggressive marketing campaign and success in winning support from its corporate clients. The Private Health Care Division is poised to take advantage of the growing medical tourism market in the region in the long term. Performance for the 3 rd financial quarter FY2011 is expected to hold steady although seasonal influence of the festive period during the 3rd quarter may have a moderate impact on patient flow. Warehousing & Port Cargo Services SAB’s Warehousing & Conveying Division is expected to hold its current performance in tandem with demand for palm kernel expeller (pke) in the world market. 19

Business Outlook The Group’s 2 nd quarter results was an improvement over the 1 st quarter, and the 1 st 6-months results (FY2011) surpassed that of the previous corresponding period (FY2010) both in terms of revenue and profitability. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we are optimistic that the Group will be able to sustain its current performance throughout the entire financial year. 20
