Mission & Vision


To generate consistently profitable returns
for our shareholders from investments in
core business activities:
• By providing direction, financial resources
and management support for each operating unit;
• Through establishing a major market
presence for each activity;
• Through dynamic and innovative management,
teamwork and a commitment to excellence.
The corporate logo comprises the word
BERJAYA and a symbol made up of closely interwoven Bs.
It is set in rich cobalt blue. BERJAYA means “success” in
Bahasa Malaysia and reflects the success and
Malaysian character of the Group’s traditional core businesses.
The intertwining Bs of the symbol represent our
strong foundations and the constant
synergy taking place within the Group. Each B faces a
different direction, depicting the varied strengths
of the companies that make up
the Berjaya Group. Taken in totality, the corporate logo
signifies Strength in Diversity.

Corporate Profile
The Berjaya Group of Companies’ history dates back to 1984 when our Chairman/Chief Executive
Officer, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun acquired a major controlling stake in the share
capital of Berjaya Industrial Berhad (originally known as Berjaya Kawat Berhad, now known as
RekaPacific Berhad) from the founders, Broken Hill Proprietary Ltd, Australia and National Iron &
Steel Mills, Singapore. The shareholding change also resulted in a major change in the directorate,
direction and dynamic growth of Berjaya Group.

In October 1988, following a major restructuring, Berjaya Group Berhad (then known as Inter-Pacific
Industrial Group Berhad) became the holding company of Berjaya Industrial Berhad.

Inter-Pacific Industrial Group Berhad was incorporated as Raleigh Berhad in 1967 as a bicycle
manufacturer. In 1969, the Company gained official listing on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange.

Through the entrepreneurial leadership of Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan, the Group has been
transformed into a diversified entity through partnerships, acquisitions, joint-ventures and new start-
ups.

Today, with a total employee strength of over 22,000, the Group is engaged in the following core
businesses:

• Financial Services;
• Consumer Marketing and Direct Selling;
• Vacation Timeshare, Hotels, Resorts & Recreation Development;
• Property Investment and Development; and
• Gaming and Lottery Management.

The Berjaya Group of Companies’ financial growth, highlighted below reflects Tan Sri Dato’ Seri
Vincent Tan’s vision and stewardship over the past 16 years.

Chairman’s Statement

The Malaysian economy has recovered in 1999 from the severe


deflationary impact of the financial crisis which had resulted in a 7.5%
contraction of the economy in 1998.

The economic recovery has been underpinned by policies initiated by the


National Economic Action Council in line with its National Economic
Recovery Plan as well as other favourable domestic and external
developments. The imposition of selective exchange controls, the pegging
of the ringgit, the easing of monetary policies and the restructuring of the
banking system, among others, have brought stability and confidence in
the financial markets and subsequently, had contributed towards the
positive growth in the economy.

It is heartening to note that the economy is back firmly on the growth


track. The improved business environment would also promise a better
performance for all sectors of the economy. I am pleased to note that the
performance of the Group’s businesses have also improved simultaneously
particularly the stockbroking, general insurance, consumer marketing and
vacation timeshare and resorts’ businesses.

Penyata Pengerusi
Cosway’s range of
Bioglo products.

Mulai tahun 1999, Malaysia berjaya menangkis kesan buruk


krisis kewangan yang menyebabkan ekonomi menguncup
sebanyak 7.5% pada tahun 1998. Pemulihan ekonomi telah
dipacu oleh dasar kewangan yang ditetapkan oleh Majlis
Tindakan Ekonomi Kebangsaan dan juga perkembangan
yang menggalakkan di dalam dan luar negara. Selaras
dengan Rancangan Pemulihan Ekonomi Negara, kerajaan
telah mengambil pelbagai langkah, termasuk kawalan
tukaran mata wang secara terpilih, penetapan kadar ringgit,
kelonggaran dasar kewangan dan penyusunan semula
sistem perbankan, untuk memulihkan kestabilan dan
keyakinan dalam pasaran kewangan.
Langkah-langkah ini berjaya menggerakkan semula
pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Iklim perniagaan yang
semakin baik juga telah meningkatkan prestasi semua
sektor ekonomi, termasuk perniagaan syarikat-syarikat
Kumpulan, khususnya syarikat-syarikat yang terlibat dalam
perniagaan pembrokeran saham, insuran am, pemasaran
pengguna dan percutian perkongsian masa dan pusat
peranginan.

KEPUTUSAN KEWANGAN
Bagi tahun kewangan yang dilaporkan, Kumpulan telah
mencatat perolehan berjumlah RM7.80 bilion. Angka ini
menunjukkan kenaikan 11.1% berbanding RM7.02 bilion
yang dilaporkan pada tahun sebelumnya. Kumpulan
mencatat keuntungan operasi sebelum perkara-perkara luar
biasa sebanyak RM222.6 juta yang mencerminkan kenaikan
446.5% berbanding keuntungan operasi sebelum perkara-
perkara luar biasa berjumlah RM49.8 juta yang diperolehi
pada tahun sebelumnya.

Directors’ Report

BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS

Before the profit and loss accounts and balance sheets were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to
ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for
doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate
provision had been made for doubtful debts.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the amount
written off as bad debts or the amount of provision for doubtful debts in the accounts of the Company and of
for the year ended 30 April 2000

the Group inadequate to any substantial extent.

CURRENT ASSETS

Before the profit and loss accounts and balance sheets were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to
ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business including their
values as shown in the accounting records of the Company and of the Group have been written down to an
amount which they might be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the values
attributed to the current assets in the accounts of the Company and of the Group misleading.

VA L U AT I O N M E T H O D S

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which render
adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company and of the Group
misleading or inappropriate.

CONTINGENT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

At the date of this report, there does not exist:-

(a) any charge on the assets of the Company or of the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial
year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or

(b) any contingent liability of the Company or of the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial
year, other than in respect of underwriting commitments made in the ordinary course of business by the
stockbroking subsidiary companies of the Group.

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 substantially
affect the ability of the Company or of the Group to meet their obligations when they fall due.

For the purpose of this section, contingent or other liabilities do not include liabilities arising from contracts of
insurance underwritten in the ordinary course of business of an insurance subsidiary company of the Group.

C H A N G E O F C I R C U M S TA N C E S

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report
or the accounts of the Company or of the Group which would render any amount stated in the accounts
misleading.

Auditors’ Report

To the Shareholders of Berjaya Group Berhad

We have audited the accounts of BERJAYA GROUP BERHAD (the Company) and the consolidated accounts
of BERJAYA GROUP BERHAD AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES (the Group) as at 30 April 2000. These
accounts are the responsibility of the Company’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
accounts based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved Standards on Auditing in Malaysia. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts are free
from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the accounts. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall accounts presentation. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,

(a) the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 30 April
2000 and of the results of the Company and of the Group and cash flows of the Group for the year then
ended, and have been properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965
and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia; and

(b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and the
subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions
of the Act.

We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as
auditors, as indicated in Note 38 to the accounts, being accounts that have been included in the consolidated
accounts.

We are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s accounts
are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated accounts
and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for these purposes.

The audit reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification nor any adverse
comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

Notes to the Accounts - 30 April 2000

1 P R I N C I PA L A C T I V I T I E S

The principal activities of the Company consist of investment holding and provision of management
services.

The principal activities of the subsidiary and associated companies are described in Note 38.

There were no significant changes in the Group’s activities during the year other than the acquisition or
disposal of subsidiary companies as disclosed in Note 38.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of accounting

The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention and comply with applicable approved
accounting standards in Malaysia.

(b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated accounts incorporate the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiary companies
made up to the end of the financial year, except for Taiga Forest Products Ltd., a Canadian listed
foreign subsidiary company, whose financial year end is 31 March 2000. Approval from the Registrar
of Companies has been obtained for this differing year end. There were no significant transactions
between 31 March 2000 and the Group’s financial year end that require adjustments.

Companies acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated accounts from the
date of acquisition or to the date of disposal. Intragroup transactions are eliminated on consolidation
and the consolidated accounts reflect external transactions.

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of subsidiary companies at the
date of acquisition is included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or reserve arising on
consolidation. Goodwill or reserve arising on consolidation is not amortised.

Subsidiary companies which meet the criteria for merger accounting are accounted for using the
merger accounting principles. When the merger method is used, the cost of investment in the
acquiror’s book is recorded as the nominal value of shares issued and the difference between the
carrying value of the investment and the nominal value of shares acquired is treated as merger reserve.
The results of the companies being merged are included as if the merger had been effected throughout
the current and previous financial years.

All the subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting except for
the acquisition of Singer (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, having met the criteria for merger accounting, which is
accounted for under the merger method.

(c) Goodwill on consolidation

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets of subsidiary companies at the date of acquisition less proportionate amounts written off for
subsequent disposals of investments in the relevant subsidiary companies. It is retained in the
consolidated balance sheet at written down cost. Further write-downs are provided only when the
directors are of the opinion that there is a permanent diminution in value.
74
Notes to the Accounts - 30 April 2000

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(d) Associated companies

The Group treats as associated companies those companies in which a long term equity interest of
between 20% to 50% is held and where the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence
through Board representation.

Premium or discount on acquisition, which is the difference between the purchase consideration for
shares in the associated companies and the share of net assets at the date of acquisition, is not
amortised.

However, the premium on acquisition is written down where in the opinion of the directors, there has
been a permanent diminution in value.

The Group’s share of profits less losses of associated companies is included in the consolidated profit
and loss account and the Group’s interest in associated companies is stated at cost plus the Group’s
share of post-acquisition reserves of the associated companies. Where an associated company’s

applicable. All exchange gains or losses are dealt with in the profit and loss accounts. The accounts of
foreign subsidiary companies have been translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences on translation of the net assets of foreign
subsidiary companies are dealt with through an exchange fluctuation reserve.

(g) Investments

Investments in subsidiary, associated companies and other long term investments are stated at cost.
Such investments are only written down when the directors are of the opinion that there is permanent
diminution in their value.

Malaysian Government Securities and Cagamas/Danamodal/Khazanah and unquoted bonds or loan


stocks are stated at cost adjusted for amortisation of premiums and accretion of discounts, where
applicable, to their respective maturity dates.

Investments in quoted shares and marketable securities held by the insurance subsidiary company are
stated at the lower of cost and market value on the aggregate basis by category of investments.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(l) Leased assets

The cost of assets acquired under finance lease agreements are capitalised. The depreciation policy on
these assets is similar to that of the Group’s other assets as set out in (m) below. Outstanding
obligations due under the lease agreements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities
in the accounts.

The finance expenses of the lease rentals are charged to the profit and loss accounts over the period
of the respective agreements.

Lease rental incurred on operating leases are charged to the profit and loss accounts in the year they
become payable.

(m) Fixed assets and depreciation

Hotel properties comprise hotel land, building and integral plant and machinery. It is the Group’s
practice to maintain these properties at a high standard and condition such that residual values
approximate to book values and consequently, depreciation would be insignificant. Accordingly, no
depreciation is provided on freehold hotel properties or long leasehold hotel properties with unexpired
lease tenure of 50 years or more. The related maintenance expenditure is dealt with in the profit and
loss account.

To establish whether the residual value of the hotel properties are at least equal to their respective book
values, all hotel properties are appraised by independent professional valuers at least once in every five
years based on open market value. Where the residual values of the hotel properties are less than their
respective book values, a write down of book values to its recoverable amounts will be made. The
amount of reduction will be recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account.

Freehold land, long leasehold land with unexpired lease tenure of 50 years or more, and capital work-
in-progress are not depreciated. On all other assets, depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis
calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates
of depreciation are:

Short leasehold land Over the period of the lease not


exceeding 50 years
Buildings Over 50 years or the duration of the lease
whichever is shorter
Plant and equipment 7.5% - 50%
Renovation, equipment, furniture and fittings 5% - 50%
Motor vehicles 10% - 25%
Aircraft 10%
Vessels 5% - 10%
Golf course development expenditure 1% - 1.75%
Plantation development expenditure 5%
Others 10% - 25%

Others comprise mainly linen, silverware, cutlery, kitchen utensils and recreational livestock and
apparatus. The initial cost of linen, silverware, cutlery and kitchen utensils is capitalised but not
depreciated and subsequent replacements are charged to the profit and loss account as and when
incurred. Recreational livestock and apparatus are depreciated at the rates mentioned above.

(n) Insurance reserves

General insurance fund

The reserves for unexpired risks (“RUR”) represent the portion of premium income not yet earned at
the balance sheet date. RUR is calculated as follows :

- Marine cargo, aviation cargo and inland transit policies.

25% of premium written less deductible reinsurances.

- Other policies

General Malaysian policies

The 1/24th method is applied to premium written less deductible reinsurances.

Overseas inward treaty policies

The 1/8th method is applied to premium written less deductible reinsurances.

The RUR at balance sheet date is reduced by the corresponding deferred acquisition cost
(“DAC”) based on the method prescribed by Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”). The method
prescribed by BNM permits only certain specified reinsurances to be deductible in calculating
the RUR and in addition, restricts the amount of DAC to an amount not exceeding a prescribed
percentage of the RUR calculated on BNM’s basis.

(o) Stocks

Stocks of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost, in the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, comprises raw materials,
direct labour and an attributable proportion of production overheads. Cost is determined on the first-
in first-out, the weighted average cost method, or by specific identification.

Ticket stocks are valued at cost on a first-in first-out basis.

Stores and consumables are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate provision
has been made for damaged, obsolete and slow moving items. Cost is determined on a first-in first-
out basis.

Stocks of completed houses are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the
relevant cost of land, development expenditure and related interest cost incurred during the
development period.

Trading account securities comprising quoted investments are stated at the lower of cost and market
value determined on an aggregate basis after taking into consideration specific provisions made for
diminution in value.

(q) Bad and doubtful debts

All known bad debts are written off while doubtful debts are provided for, based on estimates of

months in accordance with the accounting guidelines, BNM GPI/3 issued by Bank Negara Malaysia.

(r) Acquisition costs

Acquisition costs, which are costs directly incurred in securing premiums on insurance policies, net of
income derived from reinsurers in the course of ceding of premiums to reinsurers, are charged to the
revenue accounts in the period in which they are incurred.

(s) Claims

Full provision is made for the estimated cost of all claims together with related expenses less
reinsurance recoveries, in respect of claims notified but not paid at balance sheet date, using the best
available information at that time. Provision is also made for outstanding claims together with related
expenses incurred but not reported at balance sheet date, using a mathematical method of estimation.

(t) Provision for retirement benefits

(i) Defined contribution scheme

Contributions relating to defined contribution plans are charged to the profit and loss account
when incurred.

(ii) Defined benefit scheme

Certain subsidiary companies operate retirement benefits schemes based on defined benefit plan
for the employees of the respective companies. The assets of these schemes are held separately
from these companies in independently administered funds. Contributions to the scheme are
charged to the profit and loss account so as to spread the cost of the scheme over the employees’
working lives in the respective companies. The contributions are determined by qualified actuary
using the projected benefit method.

The principal actuarial assumptions used in the actuarial valuation are:


- Rate of increase in salary level 4% to 6.5% per annum
- Discount rate 7% to 8% per annum
- Rate of investment return 6.5% to 8% per annum

The April 2000 actuarial valuation of a US subsidiary company showed that the value of the
assets was RM8,865,000 (USD2,333,000) as compared to the present value of benefits
obligations of RM9,834,000 (USD2,588,000). The shortfall of RM969,000 (USD255,000) was
treated as accrued pension liability in the book of the said US subsidiary company and
incorporated in the consolidated accounts.

The actuarial valuation of the retirement benefit scheme of another two subsidiary companies
were carried out in April 1998 and December 1999, respectively.

Retirement benefits for employees of a foreign subsidiary company are accrued for in accordance
with the provisions of that foreign country’s retirement law.

10 FIXED ASSETS (CONTINUED)

Long leasehold land comprises leasehold interests with an unexpired term in excess of 50 years.

The cost of fixed assets acquired under finance leases and hire purchase agreements amounted to
RM187,837,000 (1999: RM125,119,000) for the Group and RM3,270,000 (1999: RM2,842,000) for the
Company.

Included in the cost of capital work-in-progress is interest capitalised amounting to RM Nil (1999:
RM4,138,000).

Properties and aircraft costing RM1,040,709,000 (1999: RM1,085,938,000) have been pledged to
financial institutions for facilities granted to subsidiary companies.

The depreciation charge of the Group for the year includes:-

(i) RM292,000 (1999: RM455,000) capitalised as part of other intangible assets by the subsidiary
companies concerned;

(ii) RM121,000 (1999: RM137,000) capitalised as part of expressway development expenditure by the
subsidiary company concerned;

The net reclassification amount of RM79,019,000 for cost and RM9,352,000 for accumulated depreciation
arose from the following:-

(i) An amount of RM890,000 for both cost and accumulated depreciation which was omitted in the
previous year was reinstated by a subsidiary company.

(ii) An amount of RM475,000 was reclassified from development properties to plantation development
expenditure.

(iii) An amount of RM27,734,000 for cost and RM2,143,000 for accumulated depreciation was
reclassified from fixed assets due to a change in leasing arrangement from finance lease to operating
lease.

(iv) An amount of RM52,650,000 for cost and RM8,099,000 for accumulated depreciation relating to
partnership assets was deconsolidated due to a change in the accounting policy of a subsidiary
company. The current policy forbids the use of consolidation method for partnerships but prescibes
the use of equity method. No retrospective adjustment is made as the amount is deemed immaterial.

The results of operations and net assets of Roasters Corp., a company incorporated in Florida, U.S.A, of
which the Group has 73.5% equity interest, has not been consolidated because the company has been placed
under voluntary reorganisation pursuant to Chapter 11 Reorganisation Protection in the United States
Federal Court (“US Federal Court”) in which the Group has lost its management control over the affairs
of the company during the financial year ended 30 April 1998.

A scheme of arrangement (“Nathan’s plan”) was confirmed by the US Federal Court during the financial
year ended 30 April 1999. Under Nathan’s plan, Roasters Asia Pacific (HK) Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary company of the Group, will continue to operate as master franchisor for the Asia Pacific region
and favourable terms of franchise fee and royalty are awarded for its future operations under the revised
Master Development Agreement. However, the Group in return, will waive its rights to any existing
outstanding debt and release any lien and security interest against Roasters Corp.

During the financial year, the cost of investment in Roasters Corp., which was fully provided for in the
previous year, was written off.

The Group’s equity interests in the subsidiary companies, their respective principal activities and countries
of incorporation are shown in Note 38.

Deed dated 6 May 1997, made by a subsidiary company, Berjaya Group Capital (Cayman) Limited
(“Issuer”) and the Trustee for the holders of the FRN. The interest rate is 1.4% above the London

redemption of the FRN by the Issuer. The redemption terms have been amended to allow the Issuer
to redeem at least half of the FRN by the end of December 1999 and the outstanding balance by the
end of December 2000. In connection to the aforesaid amendments, the interest rate was revised to
2.5% above the London interbank offer rate with effect from 18 December 1998. The FRN bear
interest at rates ranging from 7.35% to 8.6% (1999: 6.74% to 7.84%) per annum.

membership licences issued to use and enjoy the facilities of the subsidiary companies’ recreational

the dates of issuance of the licences.

(e) These provisions are in respect of defined retirement benefit plans that do not require independent
actuarial valuation. The provisions are made in accordance to the terms of employment.

(f ) Deferred income represents mainly deferred membership fees which are recognised over the
membership period.

The effective rate of taxation for the Group and the Company is higher than the standard rate of tax
applicable in Malaysia as losses of certain subsidiary companies cannot be set off against profits made by
other companies in the group and certain expenses being disallowed for tax purposes.

There is no tax charge for the previous financial year for the Company as the tax was waived in accordance
with the Income Tax (Amendment) Act, 1999. The chargeable income of RM94,451,000 on which the tax
is waived was credited to an exempt account from which tax exempt dividends can be declared, subject to
agreement with the Inland Revenue Board.

As at 30 April 2000, the Company has tax losses of approximately RM1,587,000 (1999: RM1,587,000)
and unutilised capital allowances of approximately RM7,600,000 (1999: RM6,682,000) which can be used
to offset against future taxable profits subject to the agreement of the Inland Revenue Board.

As at 30 April 2000, the Company has a potential deferred tax benefit of approximately RM2,331,000
(1999: RM2,315,000), arising principally from tax losses carried forward and unutilised capital allowances,
the effects of which are not included in the accounts as there is no assurance beyond any reasonable doubt
that future taxable income will be sufficient to allow the benefit to be realised.

approximately RM900 million, comprising loans and interests to be capitalised, which were
granted for investment purposes only, are considered in the Proposed Debt Conversion .

Upon the completion of the Proposed Debt Conversion, BLand proposes to implement an offer

RM50 million of the creditors’ debts will be involved in this exercise and these debts together
with the bank loans would not exceed RM900 million of debts to be converted into BLB ICULS
1999/2009 and ordinary shares.

(B) EVENTS PENDING COMPLETION (continued)

(4) On 14 July 2000, the Company announced that it has entered into a joint venture agreement
with Informatics Holdings Ltd and Tadmansori Holdings Sdn Bhd for the proposed setting up
of a private university in Bukit Tinggi Resort, Bentong, Pahang Darul Makmur, which will
specialise in providing information technology, computer and computer related education
(“Proposed University”).

The Proposed University’s main campus will be constructed at Bukit Tinggi Resort, Bentong,
Pahang Darul Makmur on the land owned by United Approach Sdn Bhd (“UASB”), a subsidiary
company of the Company. UASB owns 2 plots of commercial and residential leasehold land with
a total land area of approximately 173.32 acres (“UASB Land”). All or part of the UASB Land
will be used as the site for the Proposed University’s main campus.

A new joint-venture company (“JVC”) will be formed with an initial paid-up capital of between
the range of RM5,000,000 to RM10,000,000 comprising ordinary shares of RM1.00 each.

The Company’s equity participation in the JVC will be up to 30%, which the Company proposes
to finance through internally generated funds and/or borrowings.

(5) On 3 August 2000, the Company announced that it has received an offer from Global Empires
Sdn Bhd (“Global Empires”) to subscribe a total of 999,990 new ordinary shares of RM1.00 each
in Global Empires for a total cash consideration of RM999,990 or at RM1.00 per share
(“Proposed Subscription”), subject to the completion of the proposed acquisition by Global
Empires of Convenience Shopping Sdn Bhd (“CSSB”) from Antah Holdings Berhad (“Antah”)
for a total consideration of RM80,000,000.

Global Empires has on 11 July 2000 entered into a Share Sale Agreement (“SSA”) to acquire
5,000,000 ordinary shares representing 100% equity interest in CSSB from Antah for a total cash
consideration of RM80,000,000 (“Proposed CSSB Acquisition”).

CSSB has the right to use the 7-Eleven trademark and the 7-Eleven systems throughout
Malaysia.

(B) EVENTS PENDING COMPLETION (continued)

(6) On 8 September 2000, the Company announced the followings :-

(a) proposed two-call renounceable rights issue (“P2CRI”) of approximately 1.4 billion new
ordinary shares (“RShares”) of RM1.00 each at par in the Company to shareholders and
irredeemable convertible unsecured loan stocks (“BGB ICULS 1999/2009”) holders of the
Company on the following basis :-

(i) five RShares for every seven existing ordinary shares held; and

(ii) five RShares for every RM7.00 nominal amount of BGB ICULS 1999/2009 held.

(b) Proposed two-call special issue of approximately 89.0 million new ordinary shares of
RM1.00 each at par to Bumiputera investors (“Proposed Special Issue”).

The subscription price for the P2CRI of RM1.00 per share is payable in “two-call” as
follows :-

(i) the first call of RM0.50 per share will be payable in cash on application; and

(ii) the second call of RM0.50 per share will be capitalised out of the share premium
account of the Company (i.e. the Company shareholders and BGB ICULS 1999/2009
holders will not have to bear any further cash payment after the First Call).

The P2CRI will involve the issuance by the Company of approximately 1.4 billion RShares
at par. The P2CRI is expected to raise approximately RM685.8 million.

The Proposed Special Issue will be made on a “two-call” basis similar to that of the P2CRI,
which is RM0.50 payable upon application, and the balance RM0.50 is to be credited from
the share premium account of the Company. The Proposed Special Issue will effectively
raise approximately RM44.5 million.

The P2CRI and Proposed Special Issue are not inter-conditional upon each other. The
proposals are expected to raise a total of RM730.3 million and this is intended for the
reduction of intercompany borrowings, settlement of the consideration for the proposed
acquisition of CSSB, working capital and acquisition of established income generating
assets.
