PENGENALAN Bagi pihak ahli Lembaga Pengarah, saya dengan sukacitanya mengemukakan Laporan Tahunan dan Akaun untuk Syarikat dan Kumpulan bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 1999. Hasil dari langkah berani dan pragmatik yang diambil oleh Kerajaan dalam tahun 1999, ekonomi Malaysia telah mencatat pertumbuhan positif dalam suku kedua tahun tersebut. Justeru pertumbuhan positif yang berterusan dalam suku ketiga, Syarikat terus melaksanakan program rasionalisasinya bagi bertahan dalam situasi kelembapan ekonomi. Selain dari langkah-langkah penyusunan semula dan penjimatan kos yang masih berlangsung, Syarikat telah juga melepaskan pelaburannya yang tidak menjana pulangan yang mencukupi serta melaksanakan penyusunan semula pinjaman-pinjaman bank. Di penghujung latihan rasionalisasi ini, akan terhasil sebuah organisasi yang mempunyai asas yang mantap dan berkedudukan strategik untuk meneroka peluangpeluang yang akan menjelma pada alaf baru ini. Kesan dari langkah-langkah yang dilaksanakan ini dan pemulihan ekonomi dalam tahun 1999 telah membawa satu peningkatan menyeluruh dalam prestasi Kumpulan untuk tahun kewangan yang berkenaan berbanding tahun 1998. PENCAPAIAN KEWANGAN Kumpulan telah mencatatkan penghasilan sebanyak RM698.3 juta pada tahun 1999 berbanding RM899.8 juta pada tahun 1998. Ini menunjukkan pengurangan sebanyak 22.4%. Bagaimanapun, hasil dari peningkatan prestasi keseluruhan pada tahun 1999, untung Kumpulan sebelum cukai dan sebelum butiran luar biasa, telah mencatat sebanyak RM64.3 juta bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 1999, berbanding rugi sebelum cukai dan butiran luar biasa, bernilai RM109.9 juta bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 1998. Pelupusan kepentingan Kumpulan dalam Ban Hin Lee Bank Berhad sepanjang tahun kewangan ini telah menyebabkan kerugian luar biasa bernilai RM117.1 juta. Ini telah mengakibatkan kerugian kepada para pemegang stok berjumlah RM58.0 juta, iaitu kerugian per unit stok sebanyak 17.18 sen (1998 : 81.80 sen) untuk tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 1999. 10 TINJAUAN OPERASI KUMPULAN SEKTOR PERBANKAN DAN KHIDMAT KEWANGAN Syarikat-syarikat subsidiari utama United Merchant Group Berhad (“UMG”), iaitu United Merchant Finance Berhad (“UMF”) dan Perdana Merchant Bankers Berhad (“PMB”) telah berjaya merubah kerugian sebanyak RM206 juta yang dialami dalam tahun 1998 kepada keuntungan yang disumbangkan kepada keuntungan kumpulan sebanyak RM113.2 juta. Bagaimanapun, keuntungan ini telah diserap oleh kerugian sebanyak RM117.1 juta dari penjualan Ban Hin Lee Bank Berhad (“BHL”) serta caj faedah sebanyak RM19.7 juta bagi tahun 1999; mengakibatkan kerugian sebanyak RM24.4 juta kepada kumpulan. Memandangkan pemulihan suasana ekonomi yang pesat, UMF dan PMB telah membayar sepenuhnya Pinjaman Modal Subordinat Boleh Ubah (“ESCL”), pada awal bulan Februari 2000, sebanyak RM850 juta yang diambil dari Danamodal Nasional Berhad pada bulan Oktober 1998. Selaras dengan program penggabungan bank dan institusi kewangan di Malaysia yang dikendalikan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia, UMG telah menjual keseluruhan pegangan ekuitinya dalam BHL. Walaupun mengalami kerugian atas penjualan pelaburan dalam BHL, UMG telah menggunakan perolehan tersebut untuk membayar sepenuhnya semua pinjaman bank dan selain dari mendapat lebihan baki tunai sejumlah lebih kurang RM100 juta untuk pelaburan masa hadapan. Pada bulan Januari 2000, UMG telah melaksanakan satu perjanjian penjualan saham bersyarat dengan Southern Bank Berhad (“SBB”) untuk melupuskan keseluruhan kepentingan ekuitinya dalam UMF kepada SBB secara tunai. Penjualan yang dijangka menjana sekurang-kurangnya RM320 juta tunai ini telah mendapat kelulusan daripada Yang Berhormat Menteri Kewangan dan kini menanti kelulusan daripada Pihak Berkuasa dan pemegang saham kedua-dua pihak yang terlibat dalam penjualan tersebut. Syarikat juga sedang merundingkan penjualan 50.1% kepentingan ekuitinya dalam PMB kepada SBB. Penjualan ini tertakluk kepada kelulusan Yang Berhormat Menteri Kewangan dan para pemegang saham. Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Chairman’s Statement ATM facility provided by UMF INTRODUCTION On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report and Accounts of the Company and the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 1999. The Malaysian economy registered positive growth in the second quarter of the year as a result of the bold and pragmatic moves undertaken by the Government in1999. In the light of this positive growth, which continued into the third quarter, the Company continued to pursue its rationalisation programme to weather the economic slowdown. In addition to on-going reorganisation and costsaving measures, the Company had also undertaken to divest investments which did not generate sufficient earnings contribution as well as the restructuring of bank borrowings. The end result of this rationalisation exercise will see a more focused organisation with a sound foundation strategically positioned to explore and exploit the emerging opportunities in the New millennium. The impact of the measures undertaken and the recovering economy in 1999 had brought about an overall improvement in Group performance for the year under review, compared to 1998. FINANCIAL RESULTS The Group recorded a total turnover of RM698.3 million in 1999 representing a decrease of 22.4% compared to RM899.8 million in 1998. However, as a result of improved overall performance in 1999, Group pre-tax profits before exceptional items of RM64.3 million was recorded for the financial year ended 31 December 1999 as compared to a pre-tax loss before exceptional items of RM109.9 million for the financial year ended 31 December 1998. The disposal of the Group’s interest in Ban Hin Lee Bank Berhad during the year resulted in an exceptional loss of RM117.1 million; a total loss attributable to stockholders of RM58.0 million representing a loss per stock unit of 17.18 sen (1998: 81.80 sen) for the financial year ended 31 December 1999. In view of the loss for the Group, the Directors do not recommend any dividend payment for the financial year ended 31 December 1999. GROUP REVIEW OF OPERATIONS BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR The principal subsidiaries of United Merchant Group Berhad (“UMG”) namely United Merchant Finance Berhad (“UMF”) and Perdana Merchant Bankers Berhad (“PMB”) managed to achieve a turnaround from their combined losses of RM206 million incurred in the financial year 1998 and returned to profitability in the financial year 1999 with a total contribution to group profit of RM113.2 million. However, this profit was absorbed by the loss of RM117.1 million incurred on the sale of Ban Hin Lee Bank Berhad (“BHL”) and interest charges of RM19.7 million incurred in 1999; resulting in a group loss of RM24.4 million. In view of the rapidly improving economic environment, UMF and PMB had fully repaid by early February 2000, the RM850 million Exchangeable Subordinated Capital Loan (“ESCL”) from Danamodal Nasional Berhad taken in October 1998. In line with the merger programme for banking and financial institutions in Malaysia drawn up by Bank Negara Malaysia, UMG had sold its entire shareholding in BHL. Although a loss was incurred on the sale of the investment in BHL, UMG had utilised the proceeds to repay all its bank borrowings in full and realised a surplus cash balance of approximately RM100 million for future investments. In January 2000, UMG concluded a conditional sale of share agreement with Southern Bank Berhad (“SBB”) to dispose its entire equity interest in UMF to SBB for cash. This sale, which is expected to generate at least RM320 million in cash, has received the approval of the Honourable Minister of Finance and is now pending the approval of the Authorities and the shareholders of both parties to the sale. The Group is also currently negotiating to sell a 50.1% equity interest in PMB to SBB. This sale will be subject to the approval of the Honourable Minister of Finance and the shareholders. With the completion of the divestment of the Group’s remaining investments in UMF, PMB and Perdana Finance Berhad, the Group will have nearly half a billion Ringgit in cash resources to exploit opportunities in both the “Old” and “New” economies. 11 ADVANCE SYNERGY BERHAD Penyata Pengerusi Antara produk Synergy Cards; Tahun Melawat Selangor 2000, Pelangi, MRCA Sony, MNI dan Pakej MAS Golden Holiday Dengan penyempurnaan pelupusan baki pelaburan Syarikat dalam UMF, PMB dan Perdana Finance Berhad, Syarikat akan memiliki hampir setengah bilion ringgit dalam bentuk tunai bagi meneroka peluang dalam kedua-dua ekonomi “Lama” dan “Baru”. SEKTOR PERKHIDMATAN KAD DAN PEMBAYARAN Synergy Card and Payment Services Sdn. Berhad (“Synergy Card”) mampu bertahan dalam kegawatan yang lalu dengan mengambil langkah penyusunan semula dan pembangunan produk secara menye-luruh bagi mengurangkan kos operasi serta mengekalkan bahagian pasarannya. Usaha yang dilaksanakan itu termasuklah menempatkan semula dan memperkemas unit operasinya serta memberi penumpuan terhadap pembangunan dan pengeluaran produk kad tanpa bayaran. Sorotan aktiviti peningkatan perkhidmatan yang penting dan pelancaran produk baru sepanjang tahun termasuklah: t Program kesetiaan pengguna yang digelar program GrandHost Rewards telah dilancarkan.

Logo GrandHost 12 Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Chairman’s Statement CARD AND PAYMENT SERVICES SECTOR Synergy Card and Payment Services Sdn Berhad (“Synergy Card”) remained resilient during the difficult year by undertaking major reorganisation and product development efforts to reduce operational costs and maintain its market share. These efforts include relocating and streamlining its operational units and concentrating on the development and issuance of non-payment card products. Highlights of some major service enhancement activities and new products launches during the year include the following: t A consumers’ loyalty programme called GrandHost Rewards programme was launched. Supported by MasterCard International Inc., the programme was launched in cooperation with Arab Malaysian Card services with mailing of enrolment forms to their MasterCard holders. Early birds enjoyed a one-year free membership with AXA Motor Assistance for roadside repairs and car towage, and a chance to enter a contest sponsored by MAS Golden Holidays. The uniqueness of this loyalty programme is that there are no vouchers and additional cards or special identification to be issued. Cardholders can register up to three of their credit card accounts with the GrandHost Reward programme and only the cardholder and Synergy Card are aware of the privileges enjoyed. Cardholders discreetly earned rewards when purchases or transactions are made at any of the 200 GrandHost merchants nationwide. These merchants, which include restaurants, hotels, lounges, bars, retail outlets, travel agencies, auto service companies, golf and country clubs, grant up to 30% of the purchase value in either cash rebates or in GrandHost points that can be redeemed for free dining, accommodation, gifts or MAS Golden Holiday packages.

ACE Limited, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, is the holding company for the ACE Group of Companies, which in turn is one of the world’s largest providers of insurance and reinsurance products and services. t The existing Cash-In Rebate Card ACE Synergy logo 13 ADVANCE SYNERGY BERHAD Penyata Pengerusi Villa Gold Card menawarkan pelbagai faedah kepada pemegang kad SEKTOR INSURANS AM Perdana Cigna Insurance Bhd (“Perdana Cigna”) diubah namanya kepada ACE Synergy Insurance Berhad (“ACE Synergy”) pada tahun kewangan yang lepas kerana pemerolehan bahagian insurans harta tanah domestik dan antarabangsa serta insurans kasualti milik syarikat induk Perdana Cigna-CIGNA Corporation oleh ACE Limited pada 2 Julai 1999.

Keuntungan pengunderaitan bertambah 7.5% kepada RM11.25 juta, berbanding RM10.47 juta pada tahun sebelumnya. Prestasi cemerlang syarikat disumbangkan oleh beberapa faktor kejayaan seperti komitmen kepada perniagaan utama, strategi pengekalan pelanggan yang kukuh, struktur organisasi yang cekap dan keupayaannya sebagai penyelesai sejagat yang mempunyai kepakaran tempatan dan antarabangsa.

Giving him a helping hand is En. Azman Shah Haron (right) and Pn. Marvis Azman (left) Despite the competitive market environment and the turbulent economic climate last year, ACE Synergy recorded a 61% jump in after tax profits to RM19.89 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. The company registered positive growth with net premium up 9% to RM45.82 million from RM41.99 million previously. Underwriting profits increased 7.5% and stood at RM11.25 million against RM10.47 million the year before. The company’s excellent performance was attributed to several success factors such as commitment to core businesses, a strong customer retention strategy, an efficient organisation structure and its capabilities as a global solution provider with local and international expertise. The company is a pioneer and market leader in marketing of accident and health insurance products through non-traditional channels such as direct marketing and telemarketing. It has proven expertise, innovativeness and capability in underwriting large and specialised risks in commercial and industrial projects. ACE Synergy expects positive growth in excess of 20% for year 2000. This growth is expected to come from the opening up of new distribution channels, geographical expansion, the launching of innovative products and services for specific market segments as well as from the development of an e-commerce platform to enhance customer service. HOTELS AND RESORTS SECTOR The combined effects of the reorganisation efforts undertaken by the Group last year and the recovering economy in 1999, had enabled the Group to achieve a satisfactory operating result during the year. Highlights of the Group’s achievements during the year include the following activities: t Malaysia’s only hotel in Sudan, the historic Grand Holiday Villa Khartoum, located in the commercial hub of Khartoum and fronting the famed river Nile, was officially opened on 13 November 1999.

Pemulihan ekonomi serta sokongan dan insentif yang diberikan oleh Kerajaan kepada industri keraian dan pelancongan akan membuka peluang yang lebih besar bagi Kumpulan mengembangkan bahagian pasarannya dalam masa terdekat. SEKTOR PELABURAN DAN PEMBANGUNAN HARTA TANAH Sepanjang tahun ini, Advance Synergy Realty Sdn. B h d . t e r u s m e m b e r i tumpuan kepada pembangunan rumah kos sederhana yang melibatkan projek Taman Matang Jaya. Setakat ini, lebih kurang separuh 16 daripada projek yang terdiri daripada pelbagai jenis rumah kediaman, ruang perdagangan dan pejabat serta pangsapuri telah disiapkan. Selaras dengan pemulihan ekonomi, Syarikat yakin akan mencapai kedudukan sebagai pemimpin pasaran dalam pembangunan harta tanah kos serdehana di Kuching dalam masa akan datang. SEKTOR PERKILANGAN Akan terdapat pengurangan pelaburan dalam sektor perkilangan yang melibatkan Plastic Centre Sdn. Berhad (“Plastic Centre”), Advance Synergy Furniture Sdn. Bhd. dan Acrylic Synergy Sdn. Bhd. pada tahun ini. Cadangan penjualan Plastic Centre adalah s e b a h a g i a n dari langkah rasionalisasi untuk melupuskan pelaburan yang tidak menjana pulangan yang memadai kepada pendapatan Kumpulan. Walau bagaimanapun, Kumpulan akan terus mengekalkan kepentingannya dalam PC Ventures Sdn. Bhd. dan Calmford Incorporated melalui Plastic Centre. Calmford akan terus menjadi syarikat pemegangan pelaburan bagi Kumpulan untuk lain-lain kegiatan perkilangan luar negara di masa hadapan. Kumpulan sedang menilai semula keseluruhan potfolio pelaburan dalam sektor industri, di dalam dan luar Malaysia. SEKTOR SUMBER ALAM Kumpulan mengekalkan pendekatan berhati-hati dalam pelaburannya di sektor sumber alam. Sepanjang tahun kewangan yang lepas, Kumpulan telah melupuskan 15% kepentingan ekuitinya dalam Gulf Petroleum Company (Sudan) Limited (“Gulf Petroleum”). Ini diikuti pula pada Februari 2000, dengan pelupusan 15% lagi kepentingan ekuiti syarikat dalam mana separuh dari bayarannya telah pun dibuat. Gulf Petroleum tidak berkemungkinan membuat sumbangan yang ketara terhadap pendapatan Kumpulan dalam masa terdekat ini. Selain dari itu adalah dianggarkan pelaburan tambahan diperlukan Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Chairman’s Statement The recovery of the economy and the support and incentives given by the Government to the hospitality and tourism industry will provide greater opportunity for the Group to expand its market share in the immediate future. Group for all other future overseas manufacturing ventures. The Group is currently evaluating its overall investment portfolios in the industrial sectors, both within and outside Malaysia. PROPERTY INVESTMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SECTOR NATURAL RESOURCES SECTOR During the year, Advance Synergy Realty Sdn. Bhd. continued to focus on medium cost housing development involving the Taman Matang Jaya project. To date about half of the project consisting of various types of residential houses, commercial and office space and apartments had been completed. With the recovery of the economy, the company is confident of achieving a market leader position in property development of medium cost properties in Kuching in the near future. MANUFACTURING SECTOR The year witnessed the scaling down of investments in the manufacturing sector which affected Plastic Centre Sdn. Berhad (“Plastic Centre”), Advance Synergy Furniture Sdn. Bhd. and Acrylic Synergy Sdn. Bhd. The proposed disposal of Plastic Centre is part of the rationalisation exercise to divest investments, which did not generate sufficient contribution to the Group’s earnings. However, the Group will continue to retain its interest in PC Ventures Sdn. Bhd. and Calmford Incorporated through Plastic Centre. Calmford will continue to be the investment holding company of the The Group maintained a cautious approach in its investments in the natural resources sector. During the year, the Group completed the disposal of its 15% equity interest in Gulf Petroleum Company (Sudan) Limited (“Gulf Petroleum”) with a further disposal of the balance of 15% equity interest in the same company in February 2000 whereby part payment of the the purchase consideration had been made. It was unlikely that Gulf Petroleum would make any significant contribution to the Group’s earnings in the near future. Further it was projected that additional funding was required from the shareholders before Gulf Petroleum can commence full commercial operations. The disposal therefore provided an opportunity for the Group to immediately recover its investment cost in Gulf Petroleum and the sales proceeds would be utilised to fund the working capital requirements of the Group. TRAVEL AND TOURS SECTOR During the year, Inter-Pacific Travel and Tours Sdn. Bhd. (“Inter-Pacific Travel”) continued to hold back its business development plans especially in the early part of 1999. Instead, the Company focused on maintaining and keeping intact its manpower resources and distribution channels in its strategic preparation for the expected further recovery of the economy.

Pelupusan tersebut telah memberikan peluang kepada Kumpulan bagi mendapatkan semula kos pelaburannya dalam Gulf Petroleum. Hasil jualan ini akan digunakan untuk membiayai keperluan modal kerja Kumpulan. serta dilaksanakan dan portal perunding pelancongan termasuk hotel dan agensi pelancongan. Pelaburan ini akan membolehkan Kumpulan meneroka peluang pertumbuhan yang cemerlang dalam e-dagang. SEKTOR PELANCONGAN Sekali lagi Kumpulan telah menunjukkan ketahanan dan berjaya muncul dalam suasana pergolakan semasa untuk melangkah masuk ke alaf baru dengan penuh keyakinan. Program rasionalisasi yang sedang direncanakan dan dijadualkan siap pada bulan Jun 2000, akan membolehkan K u m p u l a n memperkukuh teras keupayaannya bagi menyahut cabaran masa hadapan. Prestasi Kumpulan bagi tahun semasa dijangka bertambah baik kecuali jika berlaku keadaan yang tidak diduga. Sepanjang tahun kewangan yang lepas, terutamanya pada awal tahun 1999, Inter-Pacific Travel and Tours Sdn. Bhd. (“Inter-Pacific Travel”) terus menunda rancangan pembangunan perniagaan dan aktivitinya disebabkan kegawatan ekonomi. Walau bagaimanapun, syarikat berupaya mempertahankan dan mengekalkan tenaga kerja dan saluran pengedarannya sebagai persediaan strategis menghadapi pemulihan ekonomi yang dijangkakan. Kedudukan ekonomi yang bertambah baik mulai pertengahan tahun 1999 diikuti pula dengan promosi meluas yang sedang dikendalikan oleh Menteri Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Pelancongan telah membawa peningkatan serta merta dalam peng-hasilan industri keraian dan pelancongan. Dengan mempunyai sumber tenaga kerja yang mencukupi dan rangkaian pengedaran yang kukuh, terdiri daripada 11 buah pejabat jualan langsung di Lembah Klang sahaja, syarikat lebih berupaya menyediakan lebih banyak khidmat tambahan untuk pasarannya. SEKTOR TEKNOLOGI MAKLUMAT Pembelian sebuah syarikat usaha sama, e-go.com Sdn. Bhd. pada bulan Oktober 1999 menandakan penyertaan Kumpulan dalam perniagaan IT (Teknlogi Maklumat). Pelaburan ini dibuat selaras dengan kemajuan yang dicapai dalam teknologi maklumat dan pencapaian Malaysia dalam bidang telekomunikasi, multimedia dan infrastruktur beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini. e-go.com Sdn. Bhd. akan menumpukan perhatian kepada pembinaan khidmat penukaran maklumat pelaburan dimana maklumat kewangan boleh ditukar 18 MASA HADAPAN PENGHARGAAN Saya, bagi pihak ahli Lembaga Pengarah, ingin menyampaikan penghargaan kepada pihak pengurusan dan kakitangan atas komitmen, kesabaran dan dedikasi berterusan semasa menjalankan tugas-tugas mereka. S a y a juga i n g i n m e n y a m p a i k a n s e t i n g g i penghargaan kepada pemegang stok, pelanggan, rakan niaga dan pihak berkuasa regulatori atas sokongan dan keyakinan berterusan yang diberikan kepada Kumpulan sepanjang satu lagi tahun yang penuh cabaran. Dato’ Ahmad Sebi Bakar Pengerusi Eksekutif Kuala Lumpur 25 April 2000 Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Chairman’s Statement Frontpage of e-go.com Sdn. Bhd. financial portal: www.duithere.com The improving economic condition from the middle of 1999, coupled with the extensive promotional programmes currently being undertaken by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism brought immediate improvements in the business turnover and revenue return in the hospitality and tourism industry. With sufficient manpower resources in hand and the strong business distribution network which at present consists of 11 direct sales offices in the Klang Valley alone, the company is in a good position to serve the market with an increased range of services. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SECTOR The investment in a joint venture company, e-go.com Sdn. Bhd. in October 1999, marked the entry of the Group into the IT (Information Technology) business. This investment was made in tandem with the advances made in information technology and the achievement of Malaysia in the field of telecommunication, multimedia and infrastructure in recent years . e-go.com Sdn Bhd main focus will be building an investment information interchange where financial information can be exchanged and transacted as well as a travel consultant portal that includes hotel and travel agency. This investment will allow the Group to exploit excellent growth opportunities in e-commerce. THE FUTURE Once again the Group had shown resilience and had successfully emerged from the current turbulent environment to enter the New millennium with confidence. The current rationalisation programme scheduled to be fully completed in June 2000, will enable the Group to consolidate its position and strengthen its core competencies to take on future challenges. Barring any unforseen circumstances, the Group’s performance for the current year is expected to show further improvement. APPRECIATION On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my appreciation to the management and staff for their continued commitment, patience and dedication in carrying out their duties. To our stockholders, customers, business associates and the regulatory authorities, I also convey my sincere appreciation for their continued support and confidence given to the Group during another difficult year.

PERISTIWA PENTING SEMASA TAHUN KEWANGAN (Sambungan) (ii) Pada 19 Februari 1999, sebuah syarikat subsidiari milik UMG sepenuhnya, United Merchant Finance Berhad (“UMF”) telah membayar balik RM450 juta daripada RM800 juta Pinjaman Modal Subordinat Boleh Ubah (“ESCL”) yang diberikan oleh Danamodal Nasional Berhad (“Danamodal”). Selepas itu, pada 31 Mac 1999, UMF telah membayar RM33 juta lagi, menjadikan baki ESCL yang tertunggak berjumlah RM317 juta. (iii) Pada 31 Mac 1999, UMF telah memeterai Perjanjian Langganan dengan Danamodal berhubung dengan cadangan langganan oleh Danamodal ke atas 317 juta Saham Keutamaan Boleh Tukar Tidak Terkumpul Tidak Boleh Tebus (“INCPS”) berharga RM1.00 sesaham di dalam UMF, yang akan diimbangi dengan baki RM317 juta ESCL. Dengan mengambil kira cadangan penggabungan UMF dengan Southern Bank Berhad (“SBB”) dan berikutan pembayaran semula ESCL yang tertunggak berjumlah RM317 juta oleh UMF kepada Danamodal pada 16 Ogos 1999, UMG, UMF dan Danamodal telah bersetuju sebulat suara untuk membatalkan perjanjian-perjanjian berikut yang telah ditandatangani iaitu : (iv) (a) Perjanjian Pemegang Saham; (b) Perjanjian Opsyen Panggilan UMG; (c) Perjanjian Opsyen Panggilan; (d) Perjanjian Opsyen Letak dan Pertukaran; dan (e) Perjanjian Langganan. Pada 8 Julai 1999, Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) telah memberikan kelulusan kepada UMG untuk memulakan perbincangan dengan SBB berkenaan cadangan pelupusan kesemua 43.53% kepentingan ekuitinya dalam Ban Hin Lee Bank Berhad (“BHLB”) yang berjumlah 74,524,000 saham biasa untuk satu pertimbangan tunai bernilai RM372,620,000 (“Cadangan Pelupusan BHLB”). Pada 5 Ogos 1999, UMG telah memeterai satu Perjanjian Jual Beli dengan SBB bersangkutan Cadangan Pelupusan BHLB. Pada 11 Oktober 1999, Perjanjian Jual Beli tersebut menjadi tidak bersyarat dan pertimbangan jualan tersebut telah dibayar sepenuhnya kepada UMG pada 19 Oktober 1999. (v) Susulan dari selesainya penjualan BHLB kepada SBB, UMG telah menggunakan sebahagian besar daripada perolehan jualan tersebut untuk membayar semua pinjaman-pinjaman bank mereka. Lantas, Skim Penyusunan Semula Korporat UMG yang dikemukakan terdahulu kepada CDRC pada 2 Februari 1999 telah ditarik balik. (vi) Pada 3 Ogos 1999, BNM telah memberi kelulusan kepada UMG memulakan perbincangan dengan SBB bagi cadangan penggabungan subsidiari-subsidiari perbankannya, UMF, Perdana Merchant Bankers Berhad (“PMBB”) dan Perdana Finance Berhad (“PFB”) dengan Kumpulan SBB. Pada 13 Ogos 1999, UMF, PMBB dan PFB telah memeterai memorandum persefahaman dengan SBB masing-masing untuk berbincang tentang terma-terma dan syarat-syarat bagi menetapkan perjanjian penggabungan masing-masing. (vii) Pada 9 September 1999, Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad melantik Pentadbir-Pentadbir Khas (“SA”) bagi menguruskan aset dan hal ehwal Advance Synergy Furniture Sdn. Bhd. (“ASF”), sebuah syarikat subsidiari milik penuh Syarikat. SA akan menyediakan dan mengemukakan satu cadangan kepada Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad bagi terus mengekalkan ASF. Sebagai langkah mengekalkan aset ASF sehingga SA menyempurnakan tugas mereka, satu moratorium 12 bulan ke atas mana-mana tindakan undang-undang diambil oleh pemiutang-pemiutang dikuat kuasa serta-merta, dengan perlantikan SA. Syarikat (viii) Pada 8 Januari 1999, Syarikat telah mengemukakan permohonan kepada CDRC untuk bantuan dalam penyusunan semula pinjaman-pinjaman bank Syarikat dan juga pinjaman-pinjaman bank subsidiarisubsidiari Syarikat yang tertentu. (ix) 66 Pada 20 April 1999, Syarikat telah menerima kelulusan daripada BNM untuk memulakan rundingan berkaitan cadangan yang melibatkan kepentingan ekuiti Syarikat sebanyak 50.75% dalam UMG. Berikutan itu, Syarikat telah menghentikan rundingan berhubung perkara ini. Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Nota-nota Kepada Akaun 31 Disember 1999 44. PERISTIWA PENTING SEMASA TAHUN KEWANGAN (Sambungan) (x) Pada 27 April 1999, Syarikat telah memeterai satu Perjanjian Jual Beli dengan Inisiatif Ikhlas Sdn. Bhd. (“IISB”) untuk menjual keseluruhan kepentingan ekuitinya yang merangkumi 70% modal berbayar Plastic Centre Sdn. Berhad (“PCSB”) untuk satu pertimbangan tunai sebanyak RM28.0 juta (“Cadangan Penjualan PCSB”). Sejajar dengan Cadangan Penjualan PCSB, Syarikat akan memperoleh pegangan ekuiti dalam dua buah subsidiari PCSB, iaitu PC Ventures Sdn. Bhd., 49% (“Cadangan Pemerolehan PCV”) dan Calmford Incorporated, 100% untuk pertimbangan tunai masing-masing sebanyak RM14,002,584 dan RM1.00. Timbang rasa tunai bagi Cadangan Penjualan PCSB akan sebahagiannya dipenuhi oleh IISB, dengan pengambilalihan hutang Syarikat kepada PCSB berjumlah RM22.96 juta yang merangkumi timbang rasa bagi Cadangan Pemerolehan PCV bernilai RM14,002,584 dan penjelasan pendahuluan antara syarikat yang tertunggak kepada PCSB bernilai sekitar RM8.96 juta. Baki timbang rasa tunai ini akan dijelaskan oleh IISB kepada Syarikat. (xi) Pada 1 Oktober 1999, Syarikat telah memeterai satu Perjanjian Penyusunan Semula dengan beberapa institusi kewangan (“Peminjam-Peminjam”) untuk menyusun semula pinjaman-pinjaman bank Syarikat dan pinjaman-pinjaman bank subsidiari-subsidiari Syarikat tertentu dengan menerbitkan pinjaman stok boleh tebus dan pinjaman stok boleh ubah, kedua-duanya dengan waran yang boleh diceraikan (“Cadangan Penyusunan Semula Pinjaman Bank”). Satu cadangan tawaran terhad yang boleh dilepaskan untuk penjualan waran yang boleh diceraikan oleh PeminjamPeminjam kepada pemegang-pemegang stok Syarikat (“Cadangan ROS”) akan dijalankan selepas Cadangan Penyusunan Semula Pinjaman Bank. Kelulusan dari BNM, Suruhanjaya Sekuriti dan Jawatankuasa Pelaburan Asing telah pun didapati untuk Cadangan Penyusunan Semula Pinjaman Bank dan Cadangan ROS. Cadangan Penyusunan Semula Pinjaman Bank dan Cadangan ROS menunggu kelulusan pemegang-pemegang stok Syarikat. 45.

1999 1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES The principal activities of the Company are that of investment holding and providing full corporate and financial support to its subsidiary companies. The principal activities of the subsidiary companies are shown in Note 43 to the Accounts. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities during the financial year. 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE ACCOUNTS The accounts of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with the applicable approved accounting standards, Bank Negara Malaysia Guidelines and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965. The accounts also incorporate those activities relating to Islamic Banking Scheme (“IBS”) which have been undertaken by the Group. IBS refers generally to the acceptance of deposits and financing under the Syariah principles. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 3.1 Basis of Accounting The accounts of the Group and the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the valuation of certain freehold land and buildings. 3.2 Basis of Consolidation The consolidated accounts incorporate the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary companies made up to the end of the financial year, except for those subsidiary companies as shown in Note 11 to the Accounts. The Group adopts both acquisition and merger methods of consolidation, as appropriate. Significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated accounts reflect external transactions only. When the acquisition method is adopted, the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired is reflected in the accounts either as goodwill or reserve on consolidation, as appropriate. Except for the licensed financial subsidiaries, goodwill net of reserve on consolidation arising from other subsidiary companies is amortised over 20 years or over the expected useful life, whichever is shorter. Goodwill on consolidation is written off where there is a permanent diminution in value. Acquisition of subsidiary companies which meet the criteria for merger accounting under the Malaysian Accounting Standard 2, Accounting for Acquisitions and Mergers, are accounted for using merger accounting principles. When the merger method is used, the cost of investment is recorded at the nominal value of shares issued and the difference between the carrying value of the investment and the nominal value of shares transferred is treated as merger reserves/deficits in accordance with merger relief provisions under Section 60(4) of the Companies Act, 1965. The results of the subsidiary companies being merged are accounted for on full year basis. Except for United Merchant Finance Berhad which is consolidated under the merger method, all other subsidiary companies are consolidated under the acquisition method. 3.3 Income Recognition Interest and Financing Income Interest and financing income in respect of licensed financial subsidiaries is recognised on an accrual basis. Interest and financing income on hire purchase, block discounting and leasing transactions are recognised on the sum-of-digits method. Interest and financing income on housing and term loans are recognised by reference to monthly or daily rest periods. 81 ADVANCE SYNERGY BERHAD Notes To The Accounts 31 December 1999 3.3 Income Recognition (continued) Income from financing and advances under the Interest Free Banking Scheme are recognised on the accrual basis in accordance with Bank Negara Malaysia’s “Guidelines on “Skim Perbankan Tanpa Faedah” For Finance Companies (October 1996)”. Where an account is classified as non-performing, recognition of interest and financing income is suspended until it is realised on a cash basis in conformity with Bank Negara Malaysia’s “Guidelines on the Classification of Non-Performing Loans and Provision for Substandard, Bad and Doubtful Debts, BNM/GP3 (Revised)” as at 31 December 1999. Customers’ accounts are classified as nonperforming where repayments are in arrears for six months or more for hire purchase accounts, block discounting, leasing, loans and advances and after maturity date for bankers’ acceptances. Fee Income Loan arrangement, management and participation fees, acceptance and underwriting commission are recognised as income when all conditions precedent are fulfilled. Fees from advisory and corporate finance activities are recognised as income on completion of each stage of the assignment. Guarantee and commitment fees which are material are recognised as income based on time apportionment. Dividend Income Dividends from investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are recognised on an accrual basis, while dividends from other investments are recognised on receipt basis. Development Properties and Contract Work in Progress Profits from sale of development properties and contract work in progress are recognised on the percentage of completion method. Foreseeable losses, if any, are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. Contract Income Profit from engineering contract works are recognised based on percentage of completion method. Membership Fees Membership fees in respect of vacation investment timesharing facilities are recognised on the basis of 50% in the first year and the balance over the period of 30 years. 3.4 Hire Purchase Commission Hire purchase commission is charged to the profit and loss account based on the sum-of-digits method. 3.5 Foreign Currency Translations Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the approximate rates of exchange prevailing at that date. Gains or losses arising from the current year’s transactions and translations are dealt with in the profit and loss account. For consolidation purpose, the assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiary companies are translated at exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Profit and loss items are translated at average exchange rates for the year. All exchange differences arising are dealt with through the exchange fluctuation reserve. 82 Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Notes To The Accounts 31 December 1999 3.6 Provision for Bad and Doubtful Debts Specific provisions are made for doubtful debts and financing which have been individually reviewed and specifically identified as bad or doubtful. In addition, for licensed financial subsidiaries, a general provision based on a percentage of the loan and financing portfolio is also made to cover possible losses which are not specifically identified. An uncollectible loan and financing or portion of a loan and financing classified as bad is written off after taking into consideration the realisable value of collateral, if any, when in the judgement of the management, there is no prospect of recovery. The provision for bad and doubtful debts and financing provided by the licensed financial subsidiaries is in conformity with the minimum requirements of Bank Negara Malaysia’s “Guidelines on the Classification of Non-Performing Loans and Provision for Substandard, Bad and Doubtful Debts, BNM/GP3 (Revised)” as at 31 December 1999. 3.7 Depreciation and Amortisation of Fixed Assets 3.7.1 Freehold land, hotel properties and construction work in progress are not depreciated. All other fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and depreciation is calculated using the straight line method so as to write off the carrying value of the assets over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows :Leasehold land and buildings Buildings Plant and machinery Motor vehicles Furniture, fittings and equipment Renovation Computer equipment and software Over lease period of 25 to 95 years 0.5% – 5% 10% – 20% 15% – 20% 6% – 15% 10% – 20% 20% Crockery, glassware, cutleries, linen and kitchen utensils are capitalised at the minimum level required for normal operations. Replacements are written off in the year incurred. 3.7.2 Hotel Properties Hotel properties are stated at cost or valuation. Additions subsequent to the date of valuation are stated at cost. It is the Group’s policy to appraise the hotel properties once in every five years by independent professional valuers based on open market values. Surpluses arising thereto are credited to the revaluation surplus account. A deficit is set-off against the revaluation surplus account only to the extent of the surplus credited from the previous revaluation and the excess of the deficit is charged to the profit and loss account. Hotel properties are not depreciated. It is the Group’s practice to maintain the properties in such condition that the residual value is so high that the depreciation would be insignificant. The related maintenance expenditure is dealt with in the profit and loss account. 3.8 Hire Purchase and Leasing Arrangements Assets financed by hire purchase agreements and leasing arrangements which transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets to the Group are capitalised as fixed assets and the corresponding obligations are treated as liabilities. The fixed assets capitalised are depreciated on the same basis as that of the Group’s fixed assets. Finance charges are allocated to the profit and loss account over the period of the agreements to give a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining hire purchase and lease liabilities. Leases which do not meet the above criteria are treated as operating leases and the related rentals are charged to the profit and loss account as and when incurred. 83 ADVANCE SYNERGY BERHAD Notes To The Accounts 31 December 1999 3.9 Bills and Acceptances Payable Bills and acceptances payable represents the licensed financial subsidiaries’ own bills and acceptances rediscounted and outstanding in the market. 3.10 Investments Investment in subsidiaries, associated companies and other long term investments are stated at cost less provision for permanent diminution in value, if any. Short term quoted investments are stated at the lower of cost and market value determined on a portfolio basis. 3.11 Associated Companies Associated companies are those companies in which the Company has long term equity interest of between 20% and 50% and where the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee companies. The Group equity accounts for its share of post-acquisition results and reserves of its associated companies based on audited accounts. 3.12 Investment Securities Investment securities are securities that are acquired and held for yield or capital growth or to meet the minimum liquid assets requirement pursuant to Section 38 of the Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989, and are usually held to maturity. Malaysian Government Securities, Malaysian Government Investment Certificates, Cagamas Bonds, other Government Securities, and Bank Guaranteed Private Debt Securities held for investment are stated at cost adjusted for amortisation of premium or accretion of discount to maturity date. Other Private Debt Securities are valued at the lower of cost and market value. Other investment securities are stated at cost and provision is made in the event of any permanent diminution in value. Transfers, if any, between investment and dealing securities are made at the lower of carrying value and market value. Quoted equity securities are stated at the lower of cost and market value. Unquoted equity securities and bonds held for investment are stated at cost and provision is made for permanent diminution in value, if any. 3.13 Dealing Securities Dealing securities are marketable securities that are acquired and held with the intention of resale in the short term, and are stated at the lower of cost and market value. Transfer, if any, between dealing and investment securities are made at the lower of cost and market value. 3.14 Interest Capitalisation Interest incurred on external borrowings to finance assets under construction is capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use after which such expense is charged to the profit and loss account. 3.15 Deferred Taxation Deferred taxation is provided under the liability method at the current taxation rate in respect of all material timing differences except where there is reasonable evidence that these timing differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxation benefits are recognised only when there is reasonable assurance of their realisation. 84 Laporan Tahunan 1999 Annual Report Notes To The Accounts 31 December 1999 3.16 Expenditure Carried Forward Expenses incurred in the formation of subsidiaries are classified as preliminary expenses whilst expenses incurred before commencement of operations are classified as pre-operating expenses. Expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of commercial production which will result in future benefit are carried forward as pre-production expenditure. Deferred expenditure consists of deferred advertising and acquisition expenditure in relation to the procurement of charge card membership. Development expenditure represents the cost incurred in the development of credit card which is planned to be launched at a future date. Expenditure carried forward is generally written off over five to ten years from the date of commencement of operations. In the case of the charge card and credit card business, deferred advertising and acquisition expenditure are written off over a period of two years from date of commencement of business. 3.17 Land Held for Development and Development Properties Land held for development is stated at cost or valuation together with the related development expenditure. It is reclassified as development property upon commencement of development work on the said land. Development expenditure comprises construction and other related costs including interest and administrative overheads relating to the projects. Interest cost on borrowings used to finance the relevant projects are included as development expenditure from commencement to the completion of development. 3.18 Repurchase Agreements Securities purchased under resale agreements are securities which the licensed financial subsidiaries have purchased with a commitment to resell at future dates. The commitment to resell the securities is reflected as an asset on the balance sheet. Conversely, obligations on securities sold under repurchase agreements are securities which the licensed financial subsidiaries have sold from its portfolio with a commitment to repurchase at future dates. Such financing transactions and the obligation to repurchase the securities are reflected as a liability on the balance sheet. 3.19 Amounts Recoverable from Danaharta The total consideration for loans sold to Pengurusan Danaharta Nasional Berhad (“Danaharta”) is received in two portions; upon the sale of the loans (“initial consideration”) and upon the recovery of the loans (“final consideration”). The final consideration amount represents the licensed financial subsidiaries’ predetermined share of the surplus over the initial consideration upon recovery of the loans. The difference between the carrying value of the loans and the initial consideration is recognised as “Amounts Recoverable from Danaharta” within the “Debtors” component of the balance sheet. Provision against these amounts are made to reflect the Directors’ assessment of the realisable value of the final consideration as at the balance sheet date. 3.20 Purchased Goodwill Goodwill arising on acquisition of a business which represents the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired is stated at cost and amortised over a period of 20 years so as to reflect the useful life of the opportunity provided. 85 ADVANCE SYNERGY BERHAD Notes To The Accounts 31 December 1999 4.

Provision for current taxation is in respect of the dividend income and taxable profits of foreign subsidiary companies. The provision for taxation in the accounts of the Group for the previous financial year, even though the Group had sustained a loss before taxation, was mainly due to certain expenses which were not deductible for taxation purposes and the non-availability of group relief where tax losses of certain subsidiary companies cannot be set-off against the taxable income of other subsidiary companies. 8. LOSS PER STOCK UNIT Loss per stock unit is calculated based on the consolidated loss after taxation and minority interests of RM58,022,000 (1998: RM276,315,000) and the number of stock units in issue during the financial year of RM337,793,619 (1998: 337,793,619). 89 ADVANCE SYNERGY BERHAD Notes To The Accounts 31 December 1999 9.
