Over the past 36 years, since 1975, KULIM Group has been buying and/or selling on behalf of the Vendors and earning sales commission from the FFB produced from the Plantation Estates on a monthly basis from the Vendors. In addition, KULIM Group has also been managing the day-to-day operations of the Plantation Estates on behalf of the Vendors throughout the said period. Pursuant to the Proposed Acquisition, KULIM Group would be able to reap the full benefits and financial performance of the Plantation Estates directly and hence improve KULIM Group’s revenue stream going forward. Further, the Proposed Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to enlarge its oil palm plantation landholdings in Malaysia by 13,687 hectares from its current 34,413 hectares representing an increase of approximately 40%. The Group’s palm oil milling capacity would also be enhanced with the increase in the number of the Group’s palm oil mills in Malaysia from three (3) palm oil mills to five (5) mills. Given the close proximity of the Plantation Estates to the existing oil palm plantation owned by KULIM Group in Johor and considering that the Group has been managing the Plantation Estates for the past 36 years, the Proposed Acquisition is expected to result in synergistic benefits and improved economies of scale for KULIM Group. This acquisition will further solidifies Kulim Group’s position as a significant oil palm plantation company, where the Group’s total planted oil palm hectarage will increase by 10.72% to 124,256 hectares from 112,224 hectares currently.

Apart from operational advantages, the Total Purchase Consideration is also at a discount of 2.07 % to the OMV of the Plantation Estates. The Proposed Acquisition may also reduce the Group’s administrative costs as a result of the reduction in the number of recurrent related party transactions between the Group and the Vendors. This coupled with the expected improvement in revenue stream, synergistic benefits and improved economies of scale highlighted above are all expected to contribute to enhance the future financial performance of the Group.

5. PROSPECTS OF THE PLANTATION ESTATES The prospects of the Plantation Estates are inherently linked to the outlook of the Global and Malaysian economy in general and the oil palm plantation and processing of palm oil related products industry. 5.1 Overview and outlook of the global economy

The recovery is gaining strength, but unemployment remains high in advanced economies, and new macroeconomic risks are building in emerging market economies. In advanced economies, the hand-off from public to private demand is advancing, reducing concerns that diminishing fiscal policy support might cause a “double-dip” recession. Financial conditions continue to improve, although they remain unusually fragile. In many emerging market economies, demand is robust and overheating is a growing policy concern. Developing economies, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, have also resumed fast and sustainable growth. Rising food and commodity prices pose a threat to poor households, adding to social and economic tensions, notably in the Middle East and North Africa. Oil price increases since January 2011 and information on supply, including on spare capacity, suggest that the disruptions so far would have only mild effects on economic activity. An earthquake in Japan has exacted a terrible human toll. Its macroeconomic impact is projected to be limited, although uncertainty remains elevated. Overall, with the recovery stronger on the one hand but oil supply growth lower on the other, projections for global real GDP growth in 2011-12 are little changed from the January 2011 World Economic Outlook Update. But downside risks have risen. World real GDP growth is forecast to be about 4.5 percent in 2011 and 2012, down modestly from 5% in 2010. Real GDP in advanced economies and emerging and developing economies is expected to expand by about 2.5% percent and 6.5%, respectively. Downside risks continue to outweigh upside risks. In advanced economies, weak sovereign balance sheets and still-moribund real estate markets continue to present major concerns, especially in certain euro area economies; financial risks are also to the downside as a result of the high funding requirements of banks and sovereigns. New downside risks are building on account of commodity prices, notably for oil, and relatedly, geopolitical uncertainty, as well as overheating and booming asset markets in emerging market economies. However, there is also the potential for upside surprises to growth in the short term, owing to strong corporate balance sheets in advanced economies and buoyant demand in emerging and developing economies.

5.2 Overview and outlook of the Malaysian economy

The Malaysian economy registered a growth rate of 4.6% in the first quarter of 2011. The expansion in domestic demand was supported by higher private sector spending, while external demand also recorded a stronger growth during the quarter, mainly as a result of regional demand for commodities and non-electrical and electronic products. On the supply side, all major economic sectors, except the primary commodity sector, continued to expand during the quarter, albeit at a more moderate pace.

18

With the implementation of programs and projects under the 2011 Budget as well as the prospects of moderate global economic and trade expansion, the Malaysian economy is expected to register growth of 5.0% to 6.0%. The expansion will be supported by resilient domestic demand, particularly private expenditure. Growth is expected to be broad-based, led by strong expansion in the manufacturing and services sectors in an environment of stable prices with inflation below 3.0%. Per capita income will increase 6.0% from RM26,355 in 2010 to RM27,950 in 2011 or in purchasing power parity terms from USD14,102 to USD16,028.

Meanwhile, continued emphasis on fiscal reforms for greater efficiency and value-for-money in government spending as well as a wider revenue base is expected to further reduce the fiscal deficit to 5.4%.

5.3 Overview and outlook of the oil palm plantation and processing of palm oil

related products industry

World production of total vegetable oils had decreased by 7.1% to 42.31 million tonnes (“Mn T”) in the first quarter of 2011 from 45.54 Mn T in the fourth quarter of 2010. This was mainly due to smaller production of major vegetable oils in various producing countries. The production of palm oil has dropped by nearly 17% or about 2 Mn T to 10.13 Mn T in the first quarter of 2011. Similarly, production of soybean oil, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil had also slowed down from 10.55 Mn T to 9.7 Mn T (8.1%) from 6.03 Mn T to 5.72 Mn T (5.1%) and from 3.61 Mn T to 3.2 Mn T (11.6%). Meanwhile, palm kennel oil has decreased by 15.3% to 1.17 Mn T. Year-on-year and compared to the same quarter last year, the production of major oils had grown marginally by 1.6% from 41.63 Mn T to 42.31 Mn T. Soybean oil registered an increase in production by 9.8% from 8.83 Mn T in the first quarter of 2010. Production of palm oil had only shown slight increment of 1%. On the other hand, rapeseed oil and sunflower oil recorded lower production of 3.9%. (Source: Quarterly Report on Oils and Fats, 1

st Quarter 2011, Malaysian Palm Oil Board)

The Malaysian oil palm industry recorded mixed performance in 2010. Lower CPO production and higher exports pushed palm oil stocks down to 1.62 million tones. Tight vegetable oil supplies and high crude oil prices during the year pushed palm oil price from a comfortable level of RM2,500 in the first half of the year to more than RM3,000 towards the end of the year. Export earnings from oil palm products reached RM59.77 billion, an increase of 20.4% from RM49.66 billion recorded the previous year. The total oil palm planted area in the country increased by 3.4% to 4.85 million hectares in 2010 with the largest expansion in Sarawak, an increase of 79,670 hectares or 9.5% and Sabah with an increase of 48,078 hectares or 3.5%. Peninsular Malaysia recorded an increase of 34,858 hectares or 1.4%. Sabah is still the largest oil palm planted state, accounting for 1.4 million hectares or 29% of the total planted area in the country, followed by Sarawak with 0.9 million hectares or 19%.

19

CPO production dropped by 3.3% to 16.99 Mn T from 17.56 Mn T in 2009. Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah both registered declines of 6.1% and 2.5% to 9.5 Mn T and 5.3 Mn T respectively. Sarawak’s CPO production however increased by 9.3% to 2.2 Mn T. The average FFB yield fell 6.1% to 18.03 tonnes per hectare while Oil Extraction Rate (“OER”) was 20.45%, lower by 0.2% compared to 20.45% in 2009. Unusual weather patterns of hot and dry conditions from El Nino phenomena in the first half of the year and excessive rainfalls from La Nina phenomena in the second half had affected the FFB yield and OER which in turn contributed to the lower CPO production. Heavy rainfall and floods especially towards end of the year had affected harvesting activity.

Total exports of oil palm products, consisting of palm oil, palm kernel oil, palm kernel cake, oleochemicals, biodiesel and finished products increased by 2.8% or 0.63 Mn T to 23.06 Mn T in 2010 from 22.43 Mn T recorded in 2009. Total export earnings also rose by 20.4% or RM10.13 billion to RM59.77 billion compared to the RM49.66 billion achieved in 2009 because of higher export prices. Most of the oil palm products registered increases in exports, except for finished products and biodiesel. Palm oil stocks in 2010 closed at 1.62 Mn T, down by 27.9% as compared to the previous year’s closing level of 2.24 Mn T. The decline was mainly due to lower CPO production by 3.3% coupled with increase in export demand by 4.9%. CPO prices traded at RM2,549.50 per tonne during the first half of the year, supported by positive sentiments related to supply tightness of vegetable oils in the world market and low domestic palm oil stocks. Subsequently, during the second half of the year, bullish market sentiments supported by firmer crude oil price, coupled with world vegetable oils supply tightness, especially that of palm oil and soyabean oil supported positive price sentiments. This resulted in the increase of second half of the year average CPO price to RM2,837.50 per tonne level. The average CPO price in 2010 increased by 20.8% or RM464.50 to RM2,701.00 against RM2,236.50 in the previous year. (Source: Overview of the Malaysian Oil Palm Industry 2010, Malaysian Palm Oil Board)

In light of the factors above and the expectation of continuing growth and long term sustainable demand for products associated with the palm oil industry, the Board is optimistic of the positive prospects of the Plantation Estates.

6. RISK FACTORS

The Board does not foresee any material risks arising from the Proposed Acquisition given that the Group is already involved in the plantation business and KULIM Group has been managing the Plantation Estates on behalf of the Vendors for the past 36 years. However, there may be additional risks arising from the Proposed Acquisition which may include, among others, the following:

6.1 Non-completion of the Proposed Acquisition

In the event the conditions precedent of the relevant SPAs are not fulfilled, the Proposed Acquisition cannot be completed. However, the conditions precedents are customary to the SPAs and the Board is not aware of circumstance or facts within its control that may cause the non-completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

20

6.2 Compulsory acquisition by the Government The Malaysian Government has the power to compulsorily acquire any land in Malaysia pursuant to the provisions of the applicable legislation including the Land Acquisition Act 1960. In such event, the amount of compensation to be awarded is based on the fair market value of the property and is assessed on the basis prescribed in the Land Acquisition Act 1960 and other relevant laws. If the Plantation Estates is compulsorily acquired by the Malaysian Government at such point in time when the market value of the Plantation Estates is lower than the purchase price (as the case may be), the compulsory acquisition could adversely affect the financial results of the Group.

6.3 Event of default by MPSB pursuant to the SPAs

In the event that MPSB defaulted by failing to pay the Total Purchase Consideration or penalty in accordance with the provisions of the relevant SPAs or failing to observe or perform or otherwise be in breach of any of the provisions of the relevant SPAs or the memorandum of transfer for the Plantation Estates is not accepted or is rejected for registration or is not registered for any reason whatsoever due to the default, wilful neglect, omission or blameworthy conduct on the part of MPSB, and such failure or breach or reason for non-acceptance or rejection or non-registration is not remedied by MPSB within 14 days after the Vendors give written notice to MPSB to remedy the same and the Vendors are not in breach of any of the provisions of the relevant SPAs, the Vendors shall be entitled at the cost and expense of MPSB and at the Vendors’ sole discretion to the remedy of specific performance of the relevant SPAs or to terminate the relevant SPAs at any time thereafter by notice in writing to MPSB whereupon MPSB shall at its own cost and expense: (i) re-deliver possession of the relevant Plantation Estates to the Vendors (if

it has already been delivered to MPSB) without any rental or compensation being payable;

(ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Vendors the valid and registrable withdrawal of the relevant private caveat together with the requisite registration fees therefrom; and

(iii) return or cause to be returned to the Vendors the memorandum of transfer, the issue document of title and other relevant documents in relation to the relevant Plantation Estates and reassignment of assignment in respect of the relevant agreements and in exchange for the refund and payment by the Vendors to MPSB of all monies paid towards account of the relevant portions of the Total Purchase Consideration within 21 days of receipt of the relevant notice of termination from MPSB to the Vendors failing which, interest at the rate of 8% per annum shall be payable by the Vendors until full settlement of all monies paid whereupon the relevant SPAs shall terminate and cease to be of any further effect.

21

7. EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

7.1 Share capital and substantial shareholders’ shareholding

The Proposed Acquisition will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital of KULIM as well as KULIM’s substantial shareholders’ shareholding, as the Total Purchase Consideration is to be satisfied entirely in cash and does not involve any issuance of new shares in KULIM.

7.2 Net assets (“NA”), NA per share, earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”)

The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to have any material effect on the NA and NA per share of the Group. The Proposed Acquisition is also not expected to have any material effect on the earnings and EPS of the Group for the financial year ending 31 December 2011 as SPA 1 and SPA 2 are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2012 while SPA 3 and SPA 4 are expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2012. However, the Proposed Acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the future earnings and NA of the Group.

7.3 Gearing For illustration purposes only, the proforma effect of the Proposed Acquisition on the gearing of the Group based on the latest audited financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2010 on the assumption that the Proposed Acquisition had been effected on that date are as follows:
