For the year under review your Group achieved a profit before tax of RM399.33 million, which exceeds last year’s figure of RM367.94 million by RM31.39 million or 8.5%. However, profit after tax and minority shareholders’ interests rose by an even bigger margin of 35.2% from RM273.96 million to RM370.41 million. This is on account of the Government’s one-off tax waiver on operating profits for fiscal year 1999. As a result, earnings per share increased substantially from 38.4 sen to 52.1 sen. The bulk of the Group’s profit are derived from its core business of plantations, principally that of the oil palms sector. Results from our resource-based manufacturing subsidiaries were mixed, but as a whole this sector managed a significant turnaround. The retailing sector however, performed below expectations. Your Board has recommended a final dividend payment of 9 sen per share less tax, plus a special dividend of 5 sen per share less tax, which when added to the interim dividend of 6 sen per share paid earlier will make up a total of 20 sen per share for the year. As a comparison, last year’s total dividends amounted to 25 sen per share and in terms of absolute quantum this year’s dividend payment will amount to RM102.27 million as against last year’s RM128.27 million. PLANTATIONS Plantation profit reached a record high of RM301.33 million, exceeding last year’s result of RM287.74 million by RM13.59 million or 4.7%. Oil palms remained by far the single largest profit generator in line with past years’ pattern, contributing in this instance 98.8% of the total plantation profit, whilst the other two crops, rubber and cocoa saw their roles diminishing further, as they are being progressively replaced with oil palms. Although the year’s average price of crude palm oil (CPO) realised at RM1,711 per tonne may not seem to be that significantly lower than last year’s figure of RM1,847 per tonne, it however, belies the fact that there was a sharp plunge in the price level from over RM2,500 per tonne achieved at the beginning of the year to an intra-year low of below RM1,000 per tonne before recovering to the current level of around RM1,200 per tonne, at which it appears to have found support. Nevertheless, the increase in FFB production by 12.6% to 9 Plantation Activities Young plantings at PT ADEI, Indonesia Oil palm nursery at PT ADEI, Indonesia Tissue-cultured oil palms Newly matured oil palms in Ladang Paloh KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Chairman’s Review (Continued) 1.27 million tonnes, equivalent to 21.21 tonnes per hectare, and the corresponding reduction in production costs have mitigated the price decline somewhat to enable a profit per mature hectare of RM5,154 to be made, compared to RM5,753, achieved last year. The increase in FFB production came mainly from the substantial areas of new plantings brought into harvesting from our GSSB Complex, Sabah and also, for the first time, from our SWP Complex, Belitung, Indonesia. The other factor was the ability of the palms to recover from the drought-induced stress associated with the El Nino phenomenon of last year, with a strong pick-up in crop harvests evidenced during the second half of the financial year, during which period CPO prices had already weakened. The total rubber production increased by 6.3% to 26,900 tonnes of which 2,000 tonnes came from our Indonesian plantation PT ADEI. In our Peninsular estates, the 14,000 hectares of matured rubber put up a good performance, yielding 1,748 kg per hectare, due to a less severe wintering experienced, whilst our younger Indonesian estates yielded only 747 kg per hectare, to cause a dilution of the overall Group average to 1,585 kg per hectare. The low yield in PT ADEI is due largely to the predominance of clone GT.1 with its characteristic slow-rising yield trend. With steps taken to rapidly increase housing units onsite, thus facilitating recruitment of more skilled tappers to bring the rest of the rubber into tapping, a marked increase in production is expected for the future. With eventually some 5,100 hectares of rubber fully in tapping, equivalent to about 20% of the Group’s total rubber, PT ADEI’s rubber is expected to contribute positively in the years ahead. On the other hand, the total rubber area in our Peninsular estates continued to shrink by another 1,950 hectares to 19,770 hectares and this trend to replace uneconomic rubber fields with oil palms in the Peninsular estates will continue in the coming years. Plantation Activities Human resource development is a key factor in improving productivity Chief clerks attending a computer course at our Training Centre in Ipoh Demonstration at Ladang Sigalong on use of AA+ Mulch™ for Sabah Executives Our most productive harvesters (Northern Region) with GM Abdul Rahman (left) and Manager Heh Wun Yee (right) Staff’s children performing Sumazau dance at Sabah Harvest Festival’s celebration Plantation executives from our Southern Region at the Field Mechanisation Course at Ladang Landak New staff houses at PT SWP, Belitung, Indonesia Overview of workers’ quarters at Ladang Sg Silabukan, Sabah KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Chairman’s Review (Continued) Notwithstanding the higher production figures, profit from the rubber sector declined sharply on account of the rather depressed selling prices, which have fallen from an average of 337 sen per kg to only 273 sen per kg to result in a disappointing profit per mature hectare of RM389, in part accentuated by the loss recorded from the young matured rubber in PT ADEI. Cocoa has become a minor crop to the Group, occupying some 1,964 hectares or 2% of the Group’s planted hectareage and although for the year, it has managed to maintain its production level of 2,230 tonnes at a yield per hectare of 982 kg and a profit per mature hectare of RM1,641, its hectareage is set to decline further. Slow headway was made in the development of our plantations under PT ADEI, in the Riau Province over the past two years due to the political uncertainties and other related socioeconomic problems. However despite this it has been possible todate to plant up some 5,500 hectares of jungle reserve with oil palms and another 5,000 hectares cleared and readied for planting. With the recent election of a new government and the restoration of stability in general, it is envisaged that within the next two years it should be possible to plant up the remaining area to ultimately make our ADEI Complex into an attractive unit of 5,100 hectares of rubber and some 20,000 plus hectares of oil palms, complete with their own processing facilities. Insulated from the mainland, our SWP Complex on the island of Belitung, comprising some 14,000 hectares of oil palms, was relatively free from the vicissitudes that afflicted the ADEI Complex and it is projected that the entire Complex, in which harvesting has commenced in the first-phase planting, should be in full production within the next two years as each of the phases is progressively brought into harvesting. A new 80 tonne/hour mill has been successfully commissioned on site in time to take in the crop from the first-phase planting. It is clear from the above that the focus of new plantings of oil palms has shifted from our plantations in Sabah, which has since completed all their plantings, to our plantations in Indonesia. The substantial 39,500 hectares of immature oil palms, representing 39% of the Group’s oil palms, of which a large portion is in our Indonesian Complexes will assure the Group of a constant stream of sizeable new productive areas annually for the next few years. 13 James Robinson Gmbh in Dieburg, Germany produces intermediates for use in hair dyes for the cosmetics industry Cox Building Products Ltd in Great Britain – Llanelli Shopping Centre in the UK provides a showcase for the thermoplastic rooflight systems Fine Chemicals by PFW Aroma Chemicals BV in Holland is a world leader in producing polycyclic musks for use in fragrances Retailing Our store at the new Mid-Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur C&E Store at World Trade Centre, New York KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Chairman’s Review (Continued) ASSOCIATE – YULE CATTO & CO. PLC Following the acquisition of Holliday Chemical Holdings last year, our Associate, Yule Catto continues with its consolidation of the various businesses acquired, whose main activities are in speciality fine chemicals and in pharmaceutical intermediates. Trading conditions in the chemical industry are reported to have improved after a particularly slow start and market shares have been successfully maintained. In view of the heightened merger and acquisition activities within the chemical industry globally, the Yule Catto Group is wellplaced to benefit from trading opportunities created by these structural changes. Our share of Yule Catto’s profit has increased to £11.0 million. MANUFACTURING Our Group’s manufacturing subsidiaries have shown a significant turnaround and collectively they have achieved a profit of RM33.5 million against a loss of RM12.8 million previously. A notable contribution came from our oleochemicals business which benefited from favourable raw material prices and improved demand internationally. Other resourcebased activities like cocoa-grinding, parquet production and our 50% joint-venture company, Esterol which produces food esters have all registered satisfactory improvements, although our glove plants were faced with keen competition and had their profits reduced. An excellent improvement in profits was also realised from our bulking installation at Tianjin and our vegetable oil refining at Wuhan, in the People’s Republic of China. The Tianjin operation has embarked on an expansion programme to increase its tank farm capacity by 42%, using internally generated funds and this project is scheduled for completion by March 2000. During the year, the operations of Standard Soap, U.K. were streamlined resulting in the closure of one of its manufacturing plants. The resultant redundancy payments gave rise to a loss, however, with the steps taken, an improved performance is expected hereafter. RETAILING Crabtree & Evelyn ended the year with a higher loss before minority interest of RM32.3 million on the back of a marginally lower turnover of RM491.0 million, and after provisions 15 Resource-Based Manufacturing B.K.B. Hevea Products Sdn Bhd – An aerial photograph of its ISO 9002 accredited plant Laminated natural hardwood floors with nonallergenic qualities Cocoa powder produced by KL-Kepong Cocoa Products Sdn Bhd – meets ISO 9002 standards Packaging line at Palm-Oleo Sdn Bhd KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Chairman’s Review (Continued) were made in respect of the closure of one of its manufacturing facilities. Sales in the U.S. operations were lower and margins were insufficient to cover higher general and administrative expenses. However, other overseas operations outside the U.S. were profitable. Mindful of the attractive attributes associated with the brand name and the global growth potential, management has launched a coordinated and focused strategy in the U.S. to restructure and revitalise its operations. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT It was a difficult year for the property market and this has impacted the performance of our joint-venture property investments. However, with the general improvement in the economy and other positive measures initiated by the Government such as lowering of interest rates, easier access to housing loans and the Home Ownership Campaigns, interest has been stimulated in this sector and the improved sentiments should bring in benefit in the near future. Y2K ISSUE All necessary internal rectification works in relation to the Millennium Bug have been completed and although the Y2K glitch is not expected to have any significant impact on the Group due to the nature of its business, the Group is nevertheless prepared for any eventualities that may arise to ensure a smooth transition into Year 2000. PROSPECTS The economy has emerged from its worst recession in recent years and GDP growth has been confidently predicted to be in excess of 4% for 1999, due in no small measure to the bold and unprecedented fiscal stimulus and selective currency control measures taken by our Government. The recently concluded General Election has also seen the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition returned to power with more than two-thirds majority in Parliament. Both these events should augur well for the stability, peace and progress as well as further growth of the country in the new millennium. 17 Quality Control Palm-Oleo Sdn Bhd Distributed Control System (DCS) is used to monitor and control the automated production line (left) Autotitration is used in determining iodine values in oleochemicals (below) Evaluation of household gloves to ensure high quality Computer generated Digital Elevation Models (DEM) used in estate planning based on actual ground conditions KL-Kepong Cocoa Products Sdn Bhd using sophisticated computer system for monitoring colours of cocoa powder KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Chairman’s Review (Continued) The plantation industry, on the other hand, is now undergoing a cyclical downturn in terms of selling prices, especially that of palm oil. With the strong recovery in palm oil production in 1999 from the El Nino affected year of 1998, and with world oil seeds production being sustained at high levels, the prices of palm oil are suppressed at a competitively and historically low level. Given this scenario, it will be hard to repeat this year’s performance in the coming year, barring any late upsurge in price trends. Heavy capital expenditures to the tune of RM170.5 million have been earmarked largely for the substantial areas of new plantings in Sabah and Indonesia together with the requisite milling facilities. However, the cash flow from our operations backed by our cash reserves are more than adequate to meet these purposes. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Dato’ Mohd. Hilmey bin Mohd. Taib for his valuable contributions during his tenure of directorship with the Group and to extend a warm welcome to Datuk Abdul Rahman bin Mohd. Ramli, his replacement as representative of the PNB Group.

At the date of this report there does not exist:(i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures the liabilities of any other person; or (ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year. No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may substantially affect the ability of the Company or of the Group to meet their obligations as and when they fall due. In the opinion of the Directors, the results of the operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 30th September, 1999 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature other than the exceptional items disclosed under Note 5 on the accounts, nor have any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year and the date of this report.

The results of subsidiary companies acquired during the year are included in the Group accounts from their respective effective dates of acquisitions. Goodwill or reserve arising on consolidation represents the difference between the acquisition cost of shares in the subsidiary companies and the fair value of attributable net assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is stated at cost and is not amortised. 1.3 Associated companies The Group treats as associated companies those actively trading companies in which a long term equity interest of between 20% and 50% is held and where there is management participation through Board representation. The Group’s share of post-acquisition results and reserves of associated companies is included in the consolidation accounts and is based on the latest audited and published interim reports in respect of listed companies and latest audited accounts and unaudited management accounts in respect of unlisted companies. 1.4 Fixed assets (a) Depreciation and amortisation Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives except for freehold land on which no depreciation is provided. For the freehold land and buildings at valuation, of an overseas subsidiary whereby the property is held as investment property, no depreciation is provided on the buildings. Such investment property is revalued annually by the Directors and the aggregate surplus or deficit is transferred to revaluation reserve. The principal depreciation rates are as follows:Leasehold property - Palm oil mill machinery Plant and machinery Motor vehicles Furniture, fittings and equipment Buildings, factories and mills Employees’ quarters Effluent ponds, roads and bridges - Amortised by equal annual instalments over the remaining life of the lease. 10% per annum 8 to 20% per annum 20 to 25% per annum 10 to 331⁄3% per annum 2 to 10% per annum 10% per annum 5 to 10% per annum 33 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Notes on the Accounts 1.5 (Continued) (b) New planting expenditure New planting expenditure incurred on land clearing and upkeep of trees to maturity is capitalised under Plantation Development and is not amortised other than those short land leases held in Indonesia where the Plantation Development is amortised over the life of the lease. (c) Replanting expenditure Replanting expenditure is charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. (d) Disposal of fixed assets Profits or losses arising from the disposal of fixed assets are taken up in the profit and loss account. Leases Assets acquired under finance lease agreements are included in fixed assets and the capital element of the leasing commitments is shown as finance leases. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of its expected useful life and the term of the lease. 1.6 Property development Property development consists of freehold land held for future development and is stated at cost and includes all related costs incurred on activities necessary to prepare the land for its intended use. 1.7 Intangible assets These assets relate to trade marks which are stated at cost. No amortisation is provided as in the opinion of the Directors they do not have a finite useful economic life. 1.8 Stocks Stocks of produce are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes manufacturing charges, where applicable, and is determined on a weighted average basis. Growing crops are valued at the cost of seed, fertiliser and sprays. Livestock (sheep) is valued at net realisable value. Stores and materials are valued at weighted average cost. 1.9 Treatment of replanting cess Replanting cess refundable is included in the accounts in respect of the total eligible crop produced during the year. 1.10 Investments (a) Investment income Investment income from subsidiaries is included in the profit and loss account on a receivable basis. Investment income from other investments is included on a receipts basis. (b) Disposal of investments Profits and losses arising from the disposal of investments held on a long term basis are included in the profit and loss account as exceptional items. (c) Value of investments Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are stated at cost or Directors’ valuation unless the market value is less than book value and in the opinion of the Directors a permanent diminution in value has arisen. Other investments are stated at cost unless the market value is lower than cost, a provision is set aside for diminution in value. 34 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA) Notes on the Accounts (Continued) 1.11 Deferred taxation Deferred taxation is provided on the liability method for the timing differences between the accounting and taxation treatment of depreciation and capital allowances respectively on fixed assets and for other timing differences except where no liability is expected to arise in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax benefits arising from unutilised tax losses and capital allowances are only recognised when there is a reasonable expectation of realisation in the near future. 1.12 Currency conversion Transactions in foreign currencies are converted at the rates of exchange ruling on the transaction dates. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange approximate to those at balance sheet date. Where forward exchange contracts have been arranged in respect of assets and liabilities, the contracted rates of exchange are used. All exchange differences are dealt with in the profit and loss account except for long term assets which are dealt with in the “Exchange Fluctuation Account”. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the rates of exchange approximate to those at balance sheet date. The results of the foreign subsidiaries and associated companies are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Exchange differences arising from the translation of assets and liabilities at rates of exchange approximate to those at balance sheet date and results at average rates of exchange for the year, and the restatement of the opening net investments in foreign subsidiaries and associated companies at rates of exchange approximate to those at balance sheet date are shown in the “Exchange Fluctuation Account”. 1.13 2. Research and development expenditure All general research and development expenditure is charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The freehold land belonging to an overseas subsidiary was revalued by the Directors based on existing use and has been incorporated in the accounts. Subsequent additions are shown at cost while deletions are at valuation or cost as appropriate. As allowed by the transitional provisions of International Accounting Standard 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board, these assets have continued to be stated on the basis of their valuations.

In our opinion:(a) the accounts are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of: i) the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 30th September, 1999 and the results of their operations and the cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date; and ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the accounts of the Group and of the Company; and (b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries, of which we have acted as auditors, have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the said Act. We have considered the accounts and the auditors’ reports of all the subsidiaries of which we have not acted as auditors, and which are indicated in Note 26 on the 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 those purposes. The auditors’ reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualifications or any adverse comment made under sub-section (3) of Section 174 of the Act.

Untuk tahun dalam tinjauan, Kumpulan kami telah mencapai keuntungan sebelum cukai sebanyak RM399.33 juta, di mana ianya melebihi angka tahun lepas, iaitu sebanyak RM367.94 juta, dengan kenaikan sebanyak RM31.39 juta atau 8.5%. Bagaimanapun, keuntungan selepas cukai dan kepentingan pemegang-pemegang saham minoriti telah melonjak sebanyak 35.2% dari RM273.96 juta ke RM370.41 juta. Ini setelah mengambil kira pengecualian satu tahun cukai oleh Kerajaan untuk keuntungan operasi bagi tahun fiskal 1999. Hasilnya, pendapatan sesaham telah meningkat dari 38.4 sen ke 52.1 sen. Perniagaan teras dari sektor perladangan, terutamanya dari sektor kelapa sawit telah menyumbangkan sebahagian besar keuntungan Kumpulan tersebut. Keputusan dari subsidiari perkilangan berdasarkan sumber adalah bercampur-campur tetapi secara keseluruhan sektor ini telah mengalih dengan begitu baik sekali. Akan tetapi, sektor peruncitan tidak menunjukkan prestasi seperti yang dijangkakan. Pihak Lembaga Pengarah anda telah mengesyorkan bayaran dividen akhir sebanyak 9 sen sesaham ditolak cukai, dan dividen khas sebanyak 5 sen sesaham ditolak cukai, di mana jika dikira kesemuanya termasuk dividen interim sebanyak 6 sen sesaham dibayar terdahulu, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan sebanyak 20 sen sesaham untuk tahun ini. Sebagai pembandingan, tahun lepas jumlah keseluruhan dividen adalah sebanyak 25 sen sesaham manakala dari segi amaun dividen dibayar pula adalah sebanyak RM102.27 juta berbanding dengan tahun lepas iaitu sebanyak RM128.27 juta. PERLADANGAN Keuntungan perladangan telah mencapai rekod keuntungan tertinggi sebanyak RM301.33 juta yang melebihi keputusan tahun lalu iaitu RM287.74 juta dengan kenaikan sebanyak RM13.59 juta atau 4.7%. Seperti tahun-tahun kebelakangan, kelapa sawit masih lagi merupakan penyumbang utama keuntungan dan tahun ini menyumbangkan 98.8% dari jumlah keseluruhan keuntungan perladangan, manakala peranan daripada dua tanaman lain, iaitu getah dan koko kian merosot dengan kedua-dua tanaman telah digantikan secara berperingkat-peringkat dengan tanaman kelapa sawit. Walaupun harga kelapa sawit mentah (CPO) secara puratanya telah mencapai ke paras RM1,711 setan metrik dan tidak menunjukkan pengurangan yang nyata berbanding dengan 6 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (DITUBUHKAN DI MALAYSIA) Ulasan Pengerusi (Bersambung) angka RM1,847 setan metrik dicapai tahun lepas, ianya tidak menggambarkan menjunam dengan nyata paras harga dari RM2,500 setan metrik yang dicapai pada awal tahun ke paras sekarang, iaitu dalam lingkungan RM1,200 setan metrik, di mana ianya dilihat telah mendapat sokongan. Namun begitu, dengan meningkatnya keluaran BTB sebanyak 12.6% kepada 1.27 juta tan metrik, bersamaan dengan 21.21 tan metrik sehektar, dan pengurangan dalam kos pengeluaran telah meringankan kesan kejatuhan harga dan membolehkan keuntungan bagi setiap hektar matang sebanyak RM5,154 diperolehi, berbanding dengan RM5,753 yang dicapai tahun lalu. Peningkatan dalam keluaran BTB adalah disebabkan oleh kebanyakan kawasan tanaman baru yang dibawa untuk dituai dari Kompleks GSSB kita di Sabah dan juga untuk pertama kalinya, dari Kompleks SWP kita di Belitung, Indonesia. Faktor lain adalah kemampuan kelapa sawit untuk memulih dari kemarau disebabkan oleh fenomena El Nino tahun lalu, dengan banyak buah dihasilkan semasa pertengahan kedua tahun kewangan, di mana ketika itu harga minyak sawit mentah sememangnya telah merosot. Jumlah keluaran getah telah meningkat sebanyak 6.3% ke 26,900 tan metrik di mana 2,000 tan metrik datangnya dari ladang PT ADEI kita di Indonesia. Ladang-ladang kita di Semenanjung dengan 14,000 hektar getah matang telah memberikan prestasi yang baik dan menghasilkan 1,748 kilo sehektar, disebabkan kurang mengalami luruhan daun, manakala ladang-ladang muda di Indonesia menghasilkan hanya 747 kilo sehektar yang menyebabkan kurangnya jumlah purata keseluruhan Kumpulan ke 1,585 kilo sehektar. Pengurangan hasil di PT ADEI disebabkan tanaman kebanyakannya klon GT.1 dengan ciri-cirinya yang meningkat hasil secara perlahan-perlahan. Dengan langkah-langkah yang diambil untuk memesatkan pertambahan unit-unit rumah di kawasan tanaman bagi memudahkan pengambilan penoreh-penoreh getah mahir untuk menoreh pokok getah matang. Peningkatan dalam keluaran adalah dijangkakan di masa akan datang. Dengan sebanyak 5,100 hektar pokok getah ditoreh sepenuhnya, bersamaan dengan 20% dari jumlah pokok getah Kumpulan, kawasan getah PT ADEI dijangka akan menyumbang lebih di tahun-tahun akan datang. Sementara itu, jumlah keseluruhan kawasan tanaman getah di ladang Semenanjung telah dikurangkan sebanyak 1,950 hektar kepada 19,770 hektar dan langkah di mana ladang getah yang tidak berekonomi akan digantikan dengan kelapa sawit di ladang Semenanjung akan diteruskan di tahun-tahun akan datang. Tanpa mengira angka peningkatan keluaran, keuntungan dari sektor perladangan getah telah merosot akibat dari jatuhnya harga jualan iaitu dari harga purata 337 sen sekilo kepada hanya 273 sen sekilo yang mengakibatkan kurangnya keuntungan sehektar matang ke sebanyak RM389 yang sebahagiannya juga disebabkan oleh kerugian yang dicatatkan oleh getah baru matang di PT ADEI. 7 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (DITUBUHKAN DI MALAYSIA) Ulasan Pengerusi (Bersambung) Koko telah menjadi tanaman kecilan Kumpulan, dengan kira-kira 1,964 hektar atau 2% dari jumlah hektar tanaman Kumpulan walaupun dalam tahun ini mengekalkan paras pengeluaran sebanyak 2,230 tan metrik pada hasil 982 kilo sehektar dan keuntungan sehektar matang sebanyak RM1,641. Jumlah hektar tanaman ini akan terus berkurangan. Pembangunan perladangan kita di PT ADEI, Wilayah Riau agak perlahan disebabkan ketidakstabilan politik dan masalah-masalah berkaitan sosio-ekonominya. Namun begitu, 5,500 hektar kawasan rizab hutan dapat ditanam dengan kelapa sawit dan 5,000 hektar lagi telah dipugar dan sedia untuk ditanam dengan kelapa sawit. Dengan pemilihan kerajaan baru dan secara am, kestabilan kembali pulih adalah dijangka dalam masa dua tahun lagi baki kawasan akan dapat ditanam dan seterusnya menjadikan Kompleks ADEI kita lebih menarik dengan 5,100 hektar tanaman getah dan lebih kurang 20,000 hektar kelapa sawit dilengkapi dengan kemudahan pemerosesannya sendiri. Disisih dari tanah besarnya, Kompleks SWP kita di Pulau Belitung, mengandungi 14,000 hektar tanaman kelapa sawit, kini bebas dari masalah yang dialami oleh Kompleks ADEI dan dijangka keseluruhan Kompleks tersebut, di mana pemetikan fasa pertamanya telah bermula akan mengeluarkan keluaran penuh dalam jangka masa dua tahun secara sedikit demi sedikit. Kilang kelapa sawit baru berkeupayaan 80 tan metrik sejam mula beroperasi dengan jayanya dan bersedia memproses hasil dari fasa tanaman pertama. Adalah jelas dari penerangan di atas bahawa penumpuan terhadap tanaman baru kelapa sawit telah bertukar dari ladang-ladang di Sabah, yang telah sempurna ditanam ke ladangladang di Indonesia. Sejumlah 39,500 hektar kelapa sawit belum matang merupakan 39% dari keluaran kelapa sawit Kumpulan, di mana sebahagian besarnya dari Kompleks-kompleks Indonesia kita akan memastikan Kumpulan akan mendapat kawasan produktif yang konstan setiap tahun untuk tahun-tahun akan datang.

PLC Berikutan dengan pengambilalihan Holliday Chemical Holdings tahun lalu, syarikat bersekutu kita, Yule Catto akan meneruskan langkah-langkah untuk menyatukan berbagai perniagaan yang diperolehinya, yang mana aktiviti utamanya adalah dalam bidang bahan kimia khas dan bahan perantaraan dalam perubatan. Iklim dagangan alam industri kimia dilaporkan telah meningkat setelah permulaan yang agak perlahan dan bahagian pasaran juga dapat dikekalkan. Memandangkan aktiviti penggabungan dan pengambilalihan dalam industri kimia di dunia sekarang, Kumpulan Yule Catto adalah dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk 8 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (DITUBUHKAN DI MALAYSIA) Ulasan Pengerusi (Bersambung) mendapat manfaat dari peluang dagangan hasil dari perubahan struktur tersebut. Bahagian keuntungan kita daripada Yule Catto telah meningkat ke £11.0 juta. PENGILANGAN Subsidiari perkilangan Kumpulan kita telah menunjukkan perubahan yang positif dan secara kolektif telah mencapai keuntungan sebanyak RM33.5 juta berbanding dengan kerugian sebanyak RM12.8 juta sebelumnya. Sumbangan utama datangnya dari perniagaan kimia oleo kita yang telah mendapat manfaat dari harga yang baik untuk bahan mentahnya dan peningkatan permintaan antarabangsa. Aktiviti lain berdasarkan sumber seperti pengisaran koko, keluaran parket dan syarikat 50% usahasama kita, Esterol yang mengeluarkan bahan makanan esters telah mencatatkan peningkatan yang memuaskan, walaupun kilang sarung tangan kita kini menghadapi persaingan hebat yang menyebabkan keuntungan berkurangan. Kecemerlangan peningkatan keuntungan juga diperolehi dari instolasi bulking kita di Tianjin dan kilang penapis minyak sayuran di Wuhan, Republik Rakyat China. Operasi di Tianjin telah melaksanakan program pembesarannya untuk menambah keupayaan tangkinya sebanyak 42% menggunakan sumber kewangan dalaman. Projek ini dijangka siap pada bulan Mac 2000. Dalam tahun ini, operasi Standard Soap di UK telah disatukan yang mengakibatkan penutupan salah satu daripada kilangnya. Akibat dari pembayaran untuk lebihan pekerja telah menyebabkannya menanggung kerugian. Walau bagaimanapun, langkah-langkah telah diambil untuk mengatasinya dan seterusnya prestasi yang lebih baik adalah dijangkakan di masa akan datang. JUALAN RUNCIT Crabtree & Evelyn telah mengakhiri tahun ini dengan kerugian sebelum kepentingan minoriti sebanyak RM32.3 juta berdasarkan kepada perolehan yang sedikit rendah iaitu RM491.0 juta dan setelah peruntukan dibuat berhubung dengan penutupan salah satu dari kemudahan perkilangannya. Jualan di operasi Amerika Syarikat telah berkurangan dan marginnya tidak mencukupi untuk menampung perbelanjaan am dan pentadbirannya yang tinggi. Akan tetapi, operasi-operasi lain di luar negeri selain dari Amerika Syarikat adalah menguntungkan. 9 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (DITUBUHKAN DI MALAYSIA) Ulasan Pengerusi (Bersambung) Memandangkan ciri-ciri yang menarik berkenaan dengan jenama barangan dan potensi sedunia, pihak pengurusan telah melancarkan strategi yang selaras dan menfokuskan penumpuannya di Amerika Syarikat untuk menstrukturkan semula dan mengukuhkan operasinya. PEMBANGUNAN HARTANAH Tahun ini merupakan tahun yang agak rumit bagi pasaran hartanah dan ianya telah memberi kesan buruk kepada prestasi pelaburan hartanah usahasama kita. Akan tetapi, dengan peningkatan ekonomi secara am dan langkah positif lain diambil oleh Kerajaan seperti mengurangkan kadar faedah, kemudahan mendapat pinjaman perumahan dan Kempen Pemilikan Rumah telah merangsangkan minat dalam sektor ini dan peningkatan sentimen seharusnya memberi manfaat di masa depan. ISU Y2K Semua kerja-kerja pembetulan dalaman berhubung dengan Pepijat Alaf telah disempurnakan dan walaupun masalah Y2K dijangka tidak akan memberi sebarang kesan besar terhadap Kumpulan, disebabkan jenis perniagaan kita namun demikian Kumpulan akan terus melengkapkan diri untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan sekiranya berlaku, untuk memastikan perlicinan ke Tahun 2000. PROSPEK Ekonomi kita kini telah kembali pulih dari kegawatan yang dialaminya dan pertumbuhan Keluaran Domestik Kasar diyakini boleh melebihi paras 4% untuk tahun 1999. Ini disebabkan oleh langkah-langkah berani, dasar fiskal yang unik dan kawalan matawang asing terpilih yang diambil oleh Kerajaan kita. Pilihanraya umum yang baru berakhir juga menyaksikan Barisan Nasional kembali berkuasa dengan memperolehi majoriti dua pertiga di Parlimen. Kedua-dua peristiwa tersebut akan memberikan kestabilan, aman dan kemajuan masa depan negara ini. Industri perladangan, disebaliknya pula mengalami pusingan penurunan dari segi harga jualan, terutamanya kelapa sawit. Dengan pemulihan kukuh dalam pengeluaran minyak sawit dalam tahun 1999 akibat dari El Nino pada tahun 1998, dan dengan keluaran biji 10 KUALA LUMPUR KEPONG BERHAD (DITUBUHKAN DI MALAYSIA) Ulasan Pengerusi (Bersambung) minyak sedunia dikekalkan ke paras tinggi, harga minyak kelapa sawit yang menerima tekanan persaingan telah jatuh ke paras terendah dalam sejarah. Berdasarkan pada senario tersebut dan selain daripada berlaku kenaikan harga secara tiba-tiba, adalah sukar bagi kita untuk mengulangi prestasi tahun ini di tahun-tahun akan datang. Perbelanjaan modal yang tinggi iaitu sebanyak RM170.5 juta adalah disebabkan oleh penambahan kawasan tanaman baru di Sabah dan Indonesia serta keperluan kemudahan pemerosesan. Bagaimanapun, aliran tunai dari operasi dan rizab tunai kita lebih dari mencukupi untuk menampung perbelanjaan tersebut. PENGHARGAAN Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah, saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Dato’ Mohd. Hilmey bin Mohd. Taib atas sumbangan beliau dalam tempoh masa beliau menjadi Pengarah dengan Kumpulan dan juga ingin merakamkan ucapan alu-aluan kepada Datuk Abdul Rahman bin Mohd. Ramli, pengganti Dato’ Mohd. Hilmey selaku wakil kepada Kumpulan PNB. Dengan perkhidmatan Datuk Abdul Rahman selama beberapa tahun sebagai ketua Eksekutif Kumpulan Golden Hope Plantations Berhad, saya yakin KLK akan mendapat manfaat yang besar dari pengalaman beliau. Pihak Lembaga Pengarah juga ingin menyampaikan sekalung tahniah kepada Encik Lee Soon Hian, atas perlantikkannya sebagai salah seorang Pengarah Eksekutif yang bertanggungjawab ke atas kepentingan sektor bukan perladangan. Saya juga ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk merakamkan penghargaan Lembaga Pengarah kepada pihak pengurusan dan kakitangan-kakitangan atas kerja tekun dan dedikasi mereka kepada Kumpulan selama ini dan kepada semua pemegang saham atas sokongan mereka.
