BHD. COMMENTS : Incorporated in 1974, the SC is primarily engaged in civil engineering construction. The SC has been in business for almost 27 years and it should have built stable suppliers and clientele base in the market. The share capital of the SC is RM7,235,000. Over the years the SC has completed many high and low investment projects from both the government and non-governments sectors. This will give it an edge when competing in the industry. However as the SC concentrates mainly on the local market, it is vulnerable to the changes on local economy. The SC should venture overseas to widen its market segment. Based on the year 2000 accounts the SC is in healthy and has a Good Capital position. For the financial year ended 2000, the SC had achieved good turnover and returns for its shareholder. Profitability has enabled the SC to attract more attention among the investors besides being able to maintain a good liquidity and gearing level. The financial risk of the SC is low. Its current net worth standing at RM80.3 million has placed the SC in a stable position. However the SC has an unfavourable working capital control and more efforts should be put in place to improve its Capital position. The SC has a good order book of RM345.3 million which is expected to help it sustain its profit for the next one to two years. The SC is projected to make a profit of RM19 million for the year ending Dec 2001. As most of the projects undertaken by the SC are for the government sector, it faces low payment risks. The SC however has to secure more projects especially in overseas market as the local construction industry is saturated. Based on its track record and strength, the SC is well positioned to further increase its order book in year 2002. The management is under the leadership of Mr Loh Kim Tai as the Managing Director of the SC. It has 32 years experience in civil engineering construction. The SC has a team of professional directors and managers who are qualified and experienced in the industry. With a strong management team, projects can be carried out more effectively and economically. The SC’s Creditability is Above Average. The SC is clear of any legal suit, defaulter record and project dispute. Indirectly this will provide more confidence to customers. The overall payment habit of the SC was fair. The total weighted credit marks of the SC is 82. The overall outlook of the SC is Positive and the risk exposure is low. As a result, we recommend a fairly large amount of credit be granted to the SC promptly. * BASIS CORPORATION SDN BHD * *NOTICE : This document is based on information obtained by us from sources believed to be true.

The assessment on CHARACTER acts as a preliminary test in determining whether the SC is qualified for further analysis. CHARACTER (15%) Establishment of Company Authorised/Issued Paid Up Capital Shareholders of Company Weighted Marks Weighted Score 1 2 2 13 The SC was incorporated on 12 Jan 1974 as a private limited company in Malaysia under the name of LOH & LOH CONSTRUCTIONS SDN BHD. The SC is principally engaged in civil engineering construction. As a private limited company, the SC must have at least 2 directors. The SC is a separate legal entity from its shareholders. As a separate legal entity, the SC is capable of owning assets, entering into contracts, sue or be sued by other companies. The liabilities of the shareholders are to the extent of the equity they have taken up and the creditors cannot claim on shareholders' personal assets even if the SC is insolvent. The SC is governed by the Companies Act, 1965 and the company must file its annual returns, together with its financial statements with the Registrar of Companies.

Other ratios were also analysed concurrently to have an insight of the causal factors behind the SC’s performance. The ratios were benchmarked against each specific industry to identify the position of SC in the market. CAPITAL (35%) Weighted Score Profitability Working Capital Control Liquidity Position Leverage Position Weighted Marks 1 4 2 1 29 PROFITABILITY The turnover of the SC had decreased 2.67% from RM145,844,643 in 1999 to RM141,945,190 in 2000. However, the profit before taxation for the SC increased by RM3,406,408 or 16.33% due to the reduction in variable cost incurred during the year. The SC has maintained a good return on capital employed (ROCE) position over the past three years from year 1998 to 2000. During year 2000, the ROCE of the SC was at 29.08 times. Overall the SC has put up a strong performance and is in a profitable position. WORKING CAPITAL CONTROL The debtor ratio of the SC had increased from 80 days in year 1999 to 112 days in year 2000. The SC’s debtor ratio was unacceptably high compared with the industry standard 83 days. The SC may encounter some difficulties in managing its receivable. Meantime, the SC’s creditor ratio had also increased from 102 days in year 1999 to 134 days in year 2000. In comparison to the industry standard ratio of 70 days, the SC’s ratio was high. Overall, the working capital control of the SC is considered unfavourable. LIQUIDITY POSITION The industry standard for liquid ratio is 1.50 times while the SC recorded a favourable ratio standing at 1.62 times in the year 2000, which was above the industry standard. The liquid ratio of the SC however had decreased compared to 1999 which stood at 1.77 times. As the SC was in a good liquidity position, the SC should be able to repay its short term obligations as and when they fall due. The SC has a good current net asset standing at RM54.9 million. The SC also has a favourable cash flow position. This figure saw great improvements over that of the previous year. LEVERAGE POSITION The SC has zero gearing in year 2000. Therefore it had a no financial risk. The SC was financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown, the SC will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry. Overall the SC has a strong leverage position. III.

Project type Value Location Construction Period : : : : & 18A (Package EW200A) Earthwork and Rock Blasting RM47.90 million Putrajaya 16 months All the above mentioned projects are secured despite the current economic slowdown. The SC has a good order book standing at RM345.36 million. However we noticed that most of the projects undertaken by the SC will last only for one to two years. If there are no new long term projects, future earnings of the SC may be affected. The SC should be more aggressive in securing new jobs, focusing on higher margin infrastructure and government-funded projects. CLIENTELE The SC’s clients are all local mainly from the government agencies, commercial building developers and other private organizations. Its long presence in the industry has enabled the SC to build up a strong clientele base in the industry. As most of the projects undertaken are for the government, the risk of non-payment is negligible. The SC is expected to benefit from the government’s pump priming efforts announced during the presentation of the 2002 budget. However the local construction industry is saturated and is quite competitive. The SC is vulnerable to the changes in the local economy. Some of the SC’s major clients are : a) PUTRAJAYA HOLDINGS SDN. BHD. b) JABATAN BEKALAN AIR SELANGOR c) JABATAN BEKALAN AIR NEGERI SEMBILAN d) UE CONSTRUCTIONS SDN. BHD. e) HAZAMA CORPORATION f) SATO KAGYO CO., LTD. g) JABATAN KERJARAYA JOHOR h) PUNCAK NIAGA (M) SDN. BHD.
