As at 31 December 2007, the assets and liabilities of the SME Bank was classified in the Balance Sheets as “Assets of disposal group/ investment in a subsidiary classified as held for sale” and its financial performance is presented separately on the Income Statements as “Discontinued Operation”. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Analysis of Significant Balance Sheet Movements 14 TOTAL ASSETS Bank Pembangunan For the purpose of comparison, the financial performance and position of the SME Bank have been included in the Group’s position for the FY 2007. The Group’s total assets for the FY ending 31 December 2007 stood at RM28.06 billion, an increase of 4.80% or RM1.28 billion over the previous financial year. The asset growth for the Group was mainly driven by the increase in loans, advances and financing and the increase in the securities portfolio which increased by 11.51% or RM2.08 billion and 29.73% or RM0.57 billion respectively. DEPOSITS AND PLACEMENTS WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS The Group’s total deposits and placements for the FY ending 31 December 2007 decreased by 16.21% or RM0.62 billion. This was primarily due to the shift in the investment of the excess short-term funds to longer-term securities, particularly in high-rated corporate bonds and private debt securities. INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES The investment in securities for the FY ending 31 December 2007 grew by 29.73% to RM2.49 billion from RM1.92 billion in the previous year. During the year, the Group’s portfolio in Private Debt securities increased by 29.21% or RM495.42 million. The Group had also increased its investments in Cagamas Bonds by more than two folds from RM47.58 million in FY 2006 to RM96.83 million for the FY ending 31 December 2007. Investments in quoted and unquoted shares for the FY ending 31 December 2007 had a growth of 19.74% or RM24.44 million over that of FY 2006. LOANS, ADVANCES AND FINANCING The Group’s total loans, advances and financing grew by 11.51% or RM2.08 billion for the FY ending 31 December 2007. The Group’s lending direction continued to be focused on its main principal activity and during the year, a total of RM6.15 billion of loans were disbursed from the two banks within the Group, namely, Bank Pembangunan and SME Bank. For the FY ending 31 December 2007, Bank Pembangunan, the holding company and the major contributor to the performance of the Group, had recorded a growth of 6.95% or a total loan disbursement of up to RM4.29 billion as compared to RM4.01 billion for FY 2006. This was contributed by disbursement of loans to the Maritime and High-Technology sectors, which recorded a substantial growth of 507.85% and 290.14% or by an amount of RM1.13 billion and RM0.30 billion respectively, however, disbursements for Infrastructure project financing during the year declined by 31.32%. FIXED DEPOSITS AND ACCEPTANCES The Group’s fixed deposits and acceptances grew by 7.14% for the FY ending 31 December 2007 to RM5.18 billion. The growth was part of the strategy adopted to provide the necessary liquidity for loan disbursements pending draw-down from other sources of long-term funding and the issuance of notes under the existing MTN Programme. LONG-TERM LOANS NON-INTEREST INCOME Long-term loans increased marginally by 2.08% or RM0.26 billion for the Group for the FY ending 31 December 2007. The domestic funding increased as a result of the draw-down from the New Ship Financing Facility, the Special Tourism Fund (“Tabung Khas Pelancongan”), Fund for the 9th Malaysian Plan projects and the “Tabung Pembangunan Pengangkutan Awam”, all of which are supported or funded by the Government. Non-interest income for the Group had decreased by 5.66% or RM37.36 million for the FY ending 31 December 2007 as compared to FY 2006. (In 2006, Bank Pembangunan received a compensation sum of RM243.16 million from the Government due to loan written off exercise by the SME Bank). This was achievable due to the increases in the income from charter hire, demurrage and freight arising from the operations of Global Maritime Ventures Berhad (‘GMVB’). The income from these activities was RM165.55 million, contributing up to 26.57% to the total non-interest income of the Group for the FY ending 31 December 2007. The Long-term funding from foreign sources for the FY ending 31 December 2007 had decreased by 14.14% or RM538.33 million due to loan repayments to the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and the Export Credit Agency (ECA). The increase in net profit by 138.06% to RM859.76 million for the FY ending 31 December 2007 had contributed to the increase in the reserves for the Group by 28.15% to RM3.18 billion. This had a direct impact on the Shareholders’ Fund for the Group, which improved by 12.56% from RM5.56 billion to RM6.26 billion for the FY ending 31 December 2007. The overhead expenses for the Group rose by 6.40% or RM24.18 million for the FY ending 31 December 2007. Personnel cost for the Group increased by 16.49% or RM20.22 million due to the annual salary increment and higher number of staff, particularly from SME Bank, in their effort to improve its delivery system to the public. The general administration, marketing and other establishment cost for the year under review for the Group also increased at a moderate rate of 1.55% or RM3.96 million. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The contingent liabilities, arising mainly from secured guarantee given to third parties on behalf of borrowers and from other commitments, had decreased by 0.94% or RM103.66 million for the FY ending 31 December 2007. The commitments for future disbursement of loans for the Group for the FY ending 31 December 2007 also decreased, by 5.79% or RM0.59 billion. This was mainly contributed by the loan disbursed during the year and several withdrawals of commitments that were approved earlier. LOAN AND FINANCING LOSS AND ALLOWANCE For the year under review, the Group’s total loans and financing loss and provision decreased by 79.01% from RM471.86 million in FY 2006 to RM99.05 million. The reduction was mainly due to minimal loan loss provisioning made by SME Bank in FY 2007 after the major write off exercise made in FY 2006. TAX EXPENSES AND ZAKAT INTEREST INCOME The tax expense for the FY ending 31 December 2007 for the Group had decreased by 138.99% or RM111.19 million. The main reason for this decline was the overprovision for taxation of up to RM63.82 million for Bank Pembangunan in prior years. Interest income for the Group grew by 14.01% or RM176.03 million for the FY ending 31 December 2007. The Group’s core activity in loan financing was the main contributor to this income, providing RM1.22 billion or 85.27% of the total interest income for the year. In addition to this, Bank Pembangunan had obtained approval for tax exemption on the net income arising from its infrastructure government projects commencing from the year of assessment 2000 to year of assessment 2009. Analysis of the Income Statement Interest income earned from treasury operations and investment in securities for the FY ending 31 December 2007 had contributed RM101.67 million and RM109.29 million, respectively. These operations together contributed 14.73% to the total interest income for the Group. 15 Bank Pembangunan SHAREHOLDERS’ FUND Laporan Tahunan 2007 OVERHEAD EXPENSES Ahli-ahli Lembaga Pengarah Laporan Tahunan 2007 Board of Directors Bank Pembangunan 16 (Dari kiri/From left) Dr. Mohmad Isa Hussain Dato’ Ab.

Laporan Tahunan 2007 To enable the Bank to fulfill its financing intermediary role effectively, the Bank has established a comprehensive risk management system to identify, measure, monitor and control risks that will promote and maintain high asset quality and minimize reliance on collateral lending in its endeavor to achieve the mandate set by the Government. Bank Pembangunan 36 As a banking institution, where lending is the core business, the Bank is faced with credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, market risk, interest rate risk and product risk in carrying out its activities. In managing its business risk effectively and efficiently, the Bank has been guided by its Risk Management Policy, which outlines a sound basis for integrated risk management effort and internal control as components of good corporate governance. Specific policies and procedures have been established for each risk management function within the Group Risk Management as well as within the operational functions of the Bank. Towards this end, risk management in the Bank shall provide a framework to identify, objectively assess and actively manage all relevant potential risks and opportunities. RISK MANAGEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE The Board of Directors, is ultimately responsible for the management of risk of the Bank. The Board ensures effective implementation of the risk management policies and determines the risk level, consistent with the risk appetite of the Bank. Given the size and complexity of its operations, the Board has established dedicated committees to assist in overseeing and managing total risks and specific risks faced by the Bank. This has provided the necessary infrastructure for managing risk within the Bank and for implementing various risk management policies and procedures. The key committees involved in risk management are as follows: • Risk Management Committee (RMC) The RMC, a board level committee, is responsible for the overall risk management of the Bank, including credit risk, operational risk, liquidity risk, and market risk and asset liability management within the Bank. • Credit Approval Committee of the Board (CACB) The CACB, also a board level committee, is mainly responsible to assist the Board in managing credit risk particularly in the area of loan financing sanctioning. The Committee has been vested with authority to approve loan/financing application of up to RM250 million. CACB would also evaluate, discussed and recommend to the Board of Directors on loan/financing application exceeding RM250 million. • Loan & Investment Committee (LICOM) LICOM is the Management-level committee that decides on loan proposals and investments of up to its approving limit, i.e. RM40 million. Loans of higher limit will also be evaluated and discussed at this Committee and would be recommended higher approving authorities. • Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) ALCO’s primary role is to manage the interest rate risk, forex risk, liquidity risk and capital adequacy of the Bank. ALCO is mandated to derive with the most appropriate strategy for the Bank in terms of the mix of assets and liabilities to generate optimum levels of quality earnings and to guard against the potential consequences of market volatility, interest rate movement, liquidity constraints, foreign exchanges exposure and capital adequacy requirement in order to enhance or optimize risk-return. At this Committee, all Market Risk Indicator Limits approved by the Board are being monitored as well as ensuring the implementation of the various strategies related to the assets and liabilities management. • Infrastructure Credit Risk Committee (ICRC) The approving authority decides on financing application for Infrastructure financing after the ICRC reviews it. As a prudent step, infrastructure loan proposals for the proposed financing will be deliberated first at the ICRC to identify the risk issues underlying the loan proposals, before being considered by the approving authority. This Committee reviews the said proposal paper and gives views objectively and independently. • Financing Supervision Committee (FSC) The main focus of FSC (formerly known as Loan Supervision Committee) is to discuss and provide solutions to loan accounts, which had become problematic and fall into the Non-Performing Loan category. KEY FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE WITHIN GROUP RISK MANAGEMENT Credit Risk The main objective of Credit Risk is to assist the Bank in managing its credit risk. In achieving this key objective, Credit Risk screens all financing proposals for any lapse in credit risk, identifies risk issues associated with the financing proposals and rates the underlying client, business or transaction in accordance with the Bank’s credit risk guidelines and procedures. In addition, Credit Risk is also responsible to analyze the loan portfolio and to provide advice on the Bank’s risk exposure by industry rating and returns. The Function is also responsible to monitor the exposure against its established limits and ultimately lead to maintaining quality loan portfolio. • Operational Risk The primary role is to assess, identify and manage the operational risk inherent in all material products, activities, processes and systems. The function is to develop operational risk management strategies, policies and framework as well as to communicate and report the best practices in order to effectively manage the operational risks in the Bank. Included in the Operational Risk function is Business Continuity Management Coordination, whose main objective is to plan, coordinate, develop, implement and maintain the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) programme for the Bank. • Market Risk The main objective of Market Risk is to monitor interest rate, forex risk, liquidity risk and capital adequacy of the Bank. In addition, the Function also acts as the middle office for monitoring the investment risk such as in bonds and equities. In line with the industry best practice, the Function is also responsible to assist the Bank in optimizing the risk reward through managing Assets & Liabilities that will enhance the maintenance of healthy and stable financial position of the Bank. • Technical The main objective of Technical is to assist operational functions in solving technical issues related to the projects financed by the Bank and to monitor the status of assets financed by the Bank through periodic inspections. Technical also takes up an active role in protecting the Bank’s interest through the provision of technical advisory in ensuring technical viability of the projects being financed and the ability to be implemented and operated as planned, as well as ensure that the projects are financed adequately and the approved loans are disbursed especially for payment claims that are based on project implementation progress. 37 Bank Pembangunan • Laporan Tahunan 2007 The main management function primarily involved in the management of risk in the Bank is Group Risk Management, which provides the main support to the Risk Management Committee and is responsible for the development and maintenance of sound risk management policies and procedures for the Bank and its main subsidiaries. In order to maintain its independence, Group Risk Management reports directly to the RMC and is made up of five (5) functions as follows: • Compliance Compliance function, which is now under Group Legal, is responsible to check and vet through all Letters of Offer and pertinent documents for the disbursement before submitting to the Bank’s Approving Authority for signing and approval. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Risk Management Pengurusan Risiko The major areas of risks to which the Bank is exposed to can be summarised as follows: Credit Risk The potential loss of revenue and principal in the form of specific provision arising from the failure of a counterparties or the borrowers to honour debts or settlement through its lending. Market Risk Risk of loss due to adverse movement in the mark-to-market value of the company’s assets and liabilities. Liquidity Risk The risk relates to the ability to maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet financial commitments and obligations at a reasonable cost and time. Operational Risk The risk that deficiencies in information system or internal controls will result in unexpected loss. The risk is associated with human error, system failure and inadequate controls and procedures. Interest Rate Risk Exposure to loss arising from unfavorable movement in interest rate, resulting in mismatch between income and expenses between interest bearing asset and liabilities especially involve the gap in long term against short term financing. Product Risk Possibility of product incurring financial or opportunity loss attributed to poor reception by customer, competitiveness of products terms and conditions, competencies of promoting and/or timing of entrance of the products. Forex Risk Probability of loss occurring from an adverse movement in foreign exchange rates. Strategic Risk The current and prospective impact on earnings or capital arising from adverse business decisions, improper implementation of decisions or lack of responsiveness to industry changes. This risk is a function of the compatibility of an organisation’s strategic goals, the business strategies developed to achieve those goals, the resources deployed against these goals, and the quality of implementation. Bank Pembangunan 38 RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS Lending activities are subject to constant risk. The Bank realizes that the key success lies in how the risk is managed, by putting in place clear risk management process that describe the steps taken to mitigate risk as it occurs, to meet the Bank’s objective. The management of risk at the Bank is undertaken by the respective operational functions within the Bank and monitored by the Group Risk Management. This risk management process involves four major processes as follows: Risk Identification Identify and analyse risks surrounding the activities and understand how to respond to these risks. Risk Assessment and Measurement Quantify and assess risk impact. Risk Control Putting systems in place and recommend measures to control and mitigate risk. Risk Monitoring Monitor the effectiveness of risk management controls, and report on progress and compliance. CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT As lending is the main activity of the Bank, the main focus of the Bank’s risk management system has been on the credit risk faced by the Bank in providing loans to its clients. The Bank believes that a sound credit risk management system, which encompasses a check-and-balance structure, is necessary to minimize poor loan quality due to imprudent lending, risk concentrations in the loan portfolio and other judgmental errors that could seriously impact the overall financial soundness of the Bank. An effective credit risk management system begins with enhancing the origination of quality loan assets and continues with the preservation of quality loan assets through the establishment of the necessary internal controls within the credit process. Management of credit risk is not only vital in protecting the Bank’s loan assets but also to sustain profits by promoting and maintaining loan asset quality within an environment of loan asset growth. The process of credit risk management would be as follows: • Risk Identification & Assessment • Identifying of credit risk issues on loan proposals by Group Risk Management. (b) Implementation of credit rating system to assess/measure the quality and level of credit risk of borrowers. (c) Identification of non-compliance of the terms of letter of offer/facility agreement and other requirement prior to loan drawdown. (d) Annual loan review and re-rating conducted on all loans to identify credit risk migration of loan portfolio. (e) Stress testing on loan portfolio under various scenarios. (f) Credit risk assessment on of the Bank’s new financing products. (g) Post-mortem review of Non-Performing loans (NPLs) to identify lapses in credit process, system, people as well as serve as feedback to relevant functions for upgrading credit skills with the objective that past mistakes will not be repeated. Risk Control & Monitoring The following controls and monitoring measures are maintained within the credit process at the Bank for an effective credit risk management: (a) Maintaining qualified credit personnel for credit processing and review. (b) Establishment of Credit policies that document credit risk management in credit evaluation process. (c) Management of vulnerable credit and tracking of loans in arrears. (d) Benchmarking of assets quality against established limits. (e) Loan portfolio analysis on quality of loans and exposure as well as risk distribution. (f) Internal Audit findings on non-compliance. 39 Bank Pembangunan (a) Laporan Tahunan 2007 The Bank has instituted the following activities within the credit process that serve to identify and assess credit risks to enable the Bank to institute the necessary controls for credit risk mitigation: The activities involved in the identification and assessment of credit risk and the required controls are instituted at the following credit process. While the operational functions within the credit process at the Bank have clear accountabilities and responsibilities for undertaking and implementing the mentioned process, Group Risk Management plays its roles in monitoring such activities for an effective credit risk management: The loan origination is the first line of defense against poor risk assessment. Credit judgment of the executives of the Business Development & Advisory (BDA) and the Credit Analysts of Credit who initiate and process the loan applications respectively are critical to the quality of the loans. The selection and training of the BDA Executives and the Credit Analysts are the key factors in ensuring the origination of quality loans based on good lending judgement. Laporan Tahunan 2007 • Bank Pembangunan 40 At Credit Origination There is clear segregation between loan initiation/loan sourcing and loan processing as loan is originated by Business Development & Advisory (BDA) and processed by Credit. Both BDA and Credit are accountable for the prudent credit business. BDA ensures that the loans are of good quality and carries out preliminary assessment of the loan proposals to determine the viability of the project and to decide whether the project is worth pursuing for further evaluation. Risk Management Pengurusan Risiko • At Credit Assessment The Bank maintains an independent credit evaluation function, which is separated from loan originator to maintain check and balance. Prudent credit assessment is practiced by Credit to mitigate credit risk issues, with the involvement of Credit Risk function in providing independent credit risk assessment and credit rating. Being an independent party not involved in sourcing of the clients, Credit Risk function provides an essential check-and-balance system against imprudent lending decisions. During credit risk assessment by Credit Risk function, all credit proposals are rated using a rating system known as Credit Rating System (CRS) and Project Risk Scoring (PRS) System that process the scores for the key risk factors and generate the final rating that grade the quality of all credit proposals. The internal credit risk rating system is developed to better measure the credit worthiness of each customer with the primary objectives to provide a consistent approach in risk grading of the borrowers and to measure the borrowers’ risk of default objectively. Risk owners will mitigate all credit risk issues before the approving authorities consider the credit proposals. The Group Risk Management also reviews credit proposals for completeness of information, quality of analysis as well as compliance with the credit policies. Credit Risk management is further enforced with the involvement of Infrastructure Credit Risk Committee (ICRC) that discusses the credit risk issues and provides independent views on financing proposals for infrastructure projects before being considered by the approving authorities. The Bank has instituted clear internal controls to govern the lending activities and assessment of credit proposals for prudent lending activities through the establishment of Credit Lending Policies & Guidelines, operational manuals and directives issued and updated from time to time, which would enable the Bank to achieve its corporate objectives within an acceptable risk profile and risk appetite. The Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) guidelines as prescribed under the Development Financial Institutions Act 2002 (DFIA) are also being adhered to. To ensure highest standard of credit assessment, all BDA executives and Credit analysts must undergo relevant training programmes to ensure understanding of credit evaluation. In the effort to continuously promote professionalism and expertise in their work, the Bank encourages all executives in credit-related functions to secure the Certified Credit Professional (CCP). The Bank acknowledges that training must be continuous to enhance professionalism and competencies of the staff and the training programmes must be related to the business sectors that the Bank supports. • At Credit Approval The loan approval process, which consists of different levels of approving authority according to loan limits, reflects the management of credit risk and the Bank’s desire for quality loans. The approval hierarchy, which links the authority limit to the amount of the loan, will ensure that credit sanctioning remain a critical part of the risk evaluation system. • At Credit Disbursement Loan disbursement requisition is independently checked by Compliance, as a “final gatekeeper” to ensure the adherence to loan disbursement conditions prior to loan disbursement. Credit Compliance also verifies terms and conditions imposed in the Letter of Offer as approved by the approving authority. After the loan is disbursed, the Bank employs a system to monitor the quality of the loan throughout the loan period. Any deterioration in the quality of the loan will be detected, and corrective measures may be undertaken to protect the interest of the Bank. Supervision function monitors the borrowers’ conduct of the loan and is responsible for the loan review to assess current credit risk of the borrower as well as to monitor the progress of the projects being financed. Loan review is conducted at least once a year and more frequent reviews are performed on high-risk loans under the watch list. Annual loan review will be re-rated by Credit Risk to identify credit risk migration for effective monitoring. Overall credit risk profiles of loan portfolio are reviewed and monitored by Credit Risk by performing stress test on loan portfolio based on selected scenarios, which include possible downgrading of the accounts and thereon to compute the Economic Capital Allocation required for the lending exposure. Credit Risk continuously monitors all limits pertaining to financing portfolio and any breaches or critical level of exposure is reported to the Senior Management and relevant committees. The Bank diversifies its loan portfolio and avoids any undue concentration of credit risk in its loan portfolio by setting credit limit to single customer to manage lending to any specific groups of related borrowers. Credit Risk reports on the exposure of each customer and percentage of large loan on monthly basis to the relevant committees and functions of the Bank. To avoid being over-exposed to any particular economic sector, the Bank diversifies its credit risk by spreading its loan portfolio across different economic activities. The limit by business sector is guided by the Bank’s Budget and is reviewed where necessary. Credit Risk advises on the risk exposure by providing reports on loan exposure, loan by function, size, industry and rating on a monthly basis to the relevant committees and functions of the Bank. In order to preserve the quality of the loan assets, various controls have been instituted including the establishment of the Financing Supervision Committee that undertakes to monitor, manage and recommend recovery strategies for all delinquent accounts, with the objective of preventing them from turning non-performing. The Committee, which meets once a month, also identifies and monitors accounts for early signs of loan deterioration. To better understand how problem loans and losses develop and identify weaknesses in credit and monitoring process and systems, Operational Risk conducted in-depth post mortem reviews on NPLs and potentials. Observations and findings in relation to NPLs are communicated as feedback to assist in upgrading credit skills with the objective that past mistakes will not be repeated. Lessons are learned from root-cause analysis and generate actions to improve credit risk management process. An independent assessment of “loan compliance” is undertaken by the Group Audit & Examination of the Bank. The findings on the non-compliance of policies and procedures are incorporated in the audit findings for the Audit Committee as well as are communicated to the respective functions as feedback and follow-up. Laporan Tahunan 2007 At Credit Monitoring 41 Bank Pembangunan • OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management To safeguard the Bank’s bottom line arising from the operational risk, the Operational Risk function of the Bank has put in place various controls to limit the possible losses from operational risk as well as to ensure that operational risk are adequately considered at all stages in the decision making process, as follows: • Risk Identification & Assessment The following key methods and enablers are in place to assist Operational Risk function to identify and assess weaknesses in internal processes and systems, product and services, and staff inadequacies: • (a) Use of Key Risk Indicator (KRI) to identify pressure points in internal processes. (b) Performing Gap Analysis on critical processes to spot potential risk points in the activities. (c) Collecting Loss Event Data. (d) Implementing Control Risk Self Assessment (CRSA) to acquire information about business process risks, while empowering the process owners to take responsibility for identifying and mitigating those risks. Risk Control & Monitoring The following key methods and activities are maintained at the Bank to serve as internal controls for an effective operational risk management: 42 (a) Promoting awareness within the Bank on the need to manage operational risk. Bank Pembangunan Laporan Tahunan 2007 Pengurusan Risiko Operational risk occurs through ineffective (those that fail to achieve their objectives) or inefficient process (those that achieve their objectives but consume excessive costs), system risk (including system availability, data integrity, system capacity, unauthorized access and use, and business recovery from various contingencies), people risk (that typically results from staff constraints, incompetence, dishonesty, or a corporate culture that does not cultivate risk awareness). (b) Tracking of operational risk data, risk exposure and loss event by business/service line. (c) Measuring the severity of the impact of possible loss to the Bank by assessing the frequency of losses and their sizes in relation to the value at risk. (d) Examining the adequacy of the existing/new operating procedures and internal control systems with regard to operational risk avoidance. (e) Establishment of operational risk management and control process documents, which include policies and procedures and strategies for mitigating operational risk, as well as procedures for regular reporting on operational risk management with relevant data and results. Functional Structure Operational risk covers the following main areas; organizational structure, product and services, process and systems, regulatory and statutory, information technology, external factors that impact the operational aspects of the Bank and negligence of staff that results in possible financial loss to the Bank. The Operational Risk function of the Bank is responsible for assessing and monitoring these operational risk issues, while the business units and the respective operational functions within the Bank are responsible for operating within the operational risk management framework in their functional areas. The Operational Risk function of the Bank has set in place various systems to assist in identifying possible risk issues, including the use of Key Risk Indicator (KRI) to identify the pressure points of weaknesses. By monitoring these pressure points, an early warning of a lapse/weakness/lack of control, such as error rates, high staff turnover rate and penalties/fines, can be received in order that timely action could be taken. The method of risk assessment that has been applied at the Bank is Gap Analysis that assists in developing solutions and serves as preventive measures for curbing the risk issues from turning into major problems. Self-assessment by the respective business units and operational functions of the Bank on risk issues associated with their activities has also helped in better risk profiling. The Bank has also developed the Loss Event Data Collection for Operational Risk, which is part of the Operational Risk framework requirements. Any occurrence specified in 7 Loss categories, which happens either accidentally or by design that resulted in loss and/or potential loss to the Bank, are captured in the system. From this exercise, the Bank would be able to increase the level of accuracy and sensitivity of expected/unexpected issues, hence would ensure that the same incident would not be repeated in the future by improving internal controls. The Bank has also undertaken various activities of sound principles of Operational Risk Management, including to develop IT Risk Management Framework, in its effort to monitor the risk more prudently and dynamically especially in the IT process. In addition, the Bank has undertaken to promote and implement the Operational Risk Management policy by enhancing the level of awareness within the Bank and Group. A number of in-house risk management seminars have been organized to all levels of staff within the Bank to inculcate risk awareness culture. As part of the Bank’s strategy to mitigate risks and manage the impact of loss events, the Bank has embarked on the implementation of the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) programme for the Bank, which is handled by Business Continuity Management, a designated unit under Operational Risk function of the Bank. LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Identification & Assessment The key methods involve in the identification and assessment of liquidity risk is as follows: • (a) Use of risk indicators. (b) Assessment of current liquidity position based on all cash inflows and outflows projection. (c) Liquidity Gap Analysis. Risk Control and monitoring The following measures serve to monitor and control liquidity risk: (a) Establishment of appropriate limit. (b) Regular review of the risk indicator. (c) Monitoring of funding requirements based on budget and strategic plans. Functional Structure The management of liquidity risk is an important part of the Asset-Liability Management (ALM) process in the Bank to ensure that the Bank can honour all its financial obligations as they fall due and at the same time is able to fund its business commitments as well as its future growth. While Market Risk function is responsible for the overall yearly liquidity management analysis and reporting on a macro-level for the Bank, day-to-day liquidity management will be the responsibility of Group Treasury, who will monitor and measure liquidity gaps and liquidity requirements for the Bank and its subsidiaries. The liquidity gap is a profile of the timing of all the cash flows of the Bank to identify the mismatches in the cash inflow (assets) and cash outflow (liabilities). The cash flows are summed into time buckets and the difference between the inflow and outflow is the gap for the respective time bucket. Liquidity Risk is also assessed and managed through the application of risk indicators such as capital adequacy, liquidity ratios, diversification of funding and counter party limit, which will be reviewed annually or when necessary. Short-term (up to 3 months) liquidity crunch shall be met by money market borrowings and disposals of marketable securities. To effectively manage liquidity, various factors are analysed such as anticipated funding requirement, sources of funds, Bank’s fund-raising capacity, present and anticipated asset quality, present and future earnings capacity and present and planned capital position. ALCO shall be advised on the structuring and modification of the operating unit loans in terms of sources of funding, pricing, tenor and repayment structure, which would have significant impact on the Bank’s liquidity. 43 Bank Pembangunan • Laporan Tahunan 2007 Liquidity risk relates to the Bank’s ability to maintain sufficient liquid assets at a reasonable cost to meet its financial obligations when they fall due. These liquid assets refer to all-cash or ‘near’ cash resource (for example; deposits with counter party financial institutions and short-term financial instruments) available to the Bank to accommodate decreases in liabilities and to fund increases in assets. Liquidity risk usually arises from the mismatching of maturities of assets and liabilities, significant and sustained losses owing to non-performing loans or from an inadequate capital base. MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse movement in the level of market prices or rates. The key methods used for identifying and assessing market risk are as follows: Risk Management Pengurusan Risiko • Laporan Tahunan 2007 • Bank Pembangunan 44 Risk Identification & Assessment (a) Mark-to-market of the Bank’s exposure and comparison against predetermined market risk limits. (b) Perform assessment on existing bond and equity and the proposed bond and equity to be acquired for trading purpose. (c) Perform assessment on any borrowings, which are subject to forex risk. (d) Review of trends of market movements. (a) Establishment of daily counterparty limits for placement of PDS. (b) Perform simulations to determine the impact of changes in risk profile within current market condition. (c) Regular reporting of risk profile to relevant committees. Risk Control & Monitoring Functional Structure Group Treasury undertakes the implementation of control measures with the involvement of Money Market & Bond Dealing function of the Bank. In identifying and assessing market risk, Group ALM Support (effective March 3, 2008, Group ALM Support is known as Market Risk) involves in preparing, analyzing, monitoring and forecasting by way of simulations, which would reflect the impact of various possible changes of each risk profile within current market conditions and also Balance Sheet and Income Statement of the Bank and Group. Market Risk function proposes and recommends the needed mitigations and alternative actions to adhere to internal limits of the Bank and Group. Presently, the focus is on Daily Counterparty Limits. Market Risk reports the risk profile of the Bank and Group via Monthly ALM and Market Risk Report to the Board of Directors, Risk Management Committee (RMC) and other relevant committees of the Bank and Group. The Bank continues the initiatives to enhance market risk management and to identify new needs in market risk management to be in line with the need to monitor the risk more prudently and dynamically. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT All interest rate related assets and liabilities in the Bank are potentially exposed to interest rate risks. The degree of interest rate risk exposure depends upon the extent to which the Bank is running mismatches. Not withstanding this, the increase and/or decrease in interest rate requires proper control in order to maintain good margin and spreads, profitability and long-term viability. The main areas of activities in the Bank which generate potential interest rate risk management, include rate sensitive liabilities such as ‘set funds’ and ‘non-set’ deposits, including US dollar funds, fixed deposits placed with third party financial instruments, investments in financial institutions, rate sensitive lending to customers and other products, business and hedging activities with interest rate contents. • Risk Identification & Assessment The key methods in the assessment of interest rate risk include: Analysing changes in the interest rate and market behaviour or any abnormal event by way of preparing forecasts and simulations under different interest rate environments. (b) Conducting review on the Group’s overall interest rate risk position and related source of risk and develop an action plan. Market Risk function shall be empowered to perform the following activities in monitoring interest rate risk: (a) Establishment of risk tolerance limit to maintain IRR exposure within self-imposed parameters over a range of possible changes in interest rates. (b) Close monitoring on compliance by Operations and Treasury on the relevant risk indicator limits. (c) Close monitoring on compliance to the established minimum spread and net interest margin. (d) Recommendation of appropriate corrective measures on any breach of the risk indicator limits. (e) Formulating and reviewing strategies to ensure the risk indicator limits are not breached. Functional Structure Market Risk is responsible in monitoring and managing the impact from the interest rate movement of the Bank and Group by establishing a structured and comprehensive framework for an effective risk management by adopting quality and comprehensive ALM practice. In relation to this, Interest Rate Risk Management Guidelines have been established that contain a set of rules and guidelines to identify, quantify and control interest rate risk, and at the same time to focus on the net interest margin and income for profit. The overall purpose is therefore to maintain safety, soundness and profitability of the Group for both the short and long-term. For the measurement of interest rate risk, Group Treasury institutes an appropriate system for interest rate risk management which include analysing and conveying any changes in the interest rate and market behaviour or any abnormal event by way of preparing forecasts and simulations reflecting the impact of various possible changes in interest rate and market conditions on the balance sheet and income statement. To control and monitor the interest rate risk, the Bank has in place an interest rate risk management process, which regularly reviews the interest rate outlook, including the setting of risk tolerance limit. An important goal of interest rate risk management is to maintain the interest rate risk exposure within self-imposed parameters over a range of possible changes in interest rates. To do this, ALCO will establish a system of interest rate risk limits and risk taking guidelines over time. Such risk limits will require approval from the Board and will be reviewed periodically in line with market developments and the Bank’s risk appetite. For the Bank, where the current level of banking activities are not extensive and with limited holdings of financial instruments and derivatives, relatively simple guidelines and limits may be set which will be determined by ALCO. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Risk Control & Monitoring 45 Bank Pembangunan • (a) Laporan Tahunan 2007 Ekonomi Malaysia dalam tahun 2007 sekali lagi melepasi kadar pertumbuhan yang dijangkakan apabila KDNK telah meningkat kepada 6.3% berbanding 6% seperti yang dijangkakan. Bank Pembangunan 46 Dato’ Tajuddin Atan Presiden/Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Penyata Presiden/ Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani. Ekonomi Malaysia dalam tahun 2007 sekali lagi melepasi kadar pertumbuhan yang dijangkakan apabila KDNK telah meningkat kepada 6.3% berbanding 6% seperti yang dijangkakan. Ekonomi negara menunjukkan perkembangan yang kukuh pada suku tahun keempat, berpunca dari permintaan dalam negeri yang baik dan peningkatan perbelanjaan dalam sektor awam. Kesemua sektor ekonomi telah mencatatkan pertumbuhan yang positif pada tahun 2007. Sektor Pertanian telah berkembang sebanyak 2.2% terutamanya pada suku keempat berikutan pertambahan pengeluaran minyak sawit mentah dan peningkatan pengeluaran ternakan. Sektor perlombongan mencatatkan pertumbuhan sebanyak 3.2% berpunca daripada peningkatan pengeluaran minyak mentah melalui telaga minyak laut dalam Kikeh. Sektor perkilangan pula meningkat sebanyak 3.1%, hasil daripada perkembangan kukuh dalam industri berorientasikan dalam negeri. Peningkatan dalam industri berorientasikan dalam negeri telah disokong oleh prestasi memberangsangkan di dalam sektor peralatan pengangkutan, makanan dan minuman serta industri berkaitan pembinaan. Industri berorientasikan eksport juga menunjukkan prestasi yang lebih baik dengan penambahbaikan dalam sektor elektrik dan elektronik. Sektor perkhidmatan terus kekal sebagai pendorong utama kepada pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan mencatatkan pertumbuhan sebanyak 9.7% pada tahun tersebut. Pertumbuhan dalam sektor ini berpunca daripada prestasi kukuh oleh sub-sektor seperti perniagaan borong dan perniagaan runcit, penginapan dan restoran, kewangan, insuran, harta tanah dan perkhidmatan perniagaan. Bagi sektor pembinaan pula, pertumbuhan kekal pada tahap 4.6%. Negara mencatatkan lebihan dagangan untuk sepuluh tahun berturut-turut dalam tahun 2007. Lebihan dagangan meningkat sebanyak 3.7% kepada RM1.1097 trilion. Eksport mencatatkan peningkatan sebanyak 2.7%, manakala import pula bertambah sebanyak 4.9%. Pasaran eksport yang pelbagai adalah faktor utama pertumbuhan terjamin dalam eksport. Pasaran Asia adalah pasaran utama kepada eksport Malaysia. Eksport ke Asia telah meningkat 6.2% pada tahun tersebut, mewakili sebanyak 63% daripada jumlah eksport berbanding 55% sahaja sedekad yang lalu. Manakala, pelaburan yang kukuh dalam sektor perkilangan dan perkhidmatan dikenalpasti sebagai faktor utama peningkatan dalam eksport. Pertambahan dalam perbelanjaan pelaburan telah menyebabkan kenaikan ke atas import barang perantaraan dan barang modal, yang mana mewakili lebih 70% daripada jumlah import pada tahun tersebut. Kargo penghantaran rentas (trans-shipment cargo) di wilayah Asia Tenggara telah meningkat di antara 10% hingga 15% setahun. Berdasarkan fakta ini, lebih banyak syarikat perkapalan dijangka menukar hub mereka ke Malaysia dalam jangka masa lima hingga sepuluh tahun berikutnya bagi memperoleh manfaat daripada harga yang menarik yang ditawarkan oleh pelabuhan-pelabuhan di Malaysia dan keupayaan mengendalikan jumlah kargo yang besar. Ini adalah petunjuk yang baik kepada Bank Pembangunan di mana salah satu daripada sektor utamanya adalah untuk menyediakan pembiayaan kepada sektor maritim khususnya kepada sektor-sektor yang memberi sokongan kepada aktiviti-aktiviti perdagangan antara kawasan. Penambahbaikan dalam infrastruktur adalah antara agenda utama pada tahun 2007. Pelancaran pelan induk pembangunan kawasan seperti Iskandar Malaysia, Koridor Ekonomi Wilayah Utara, Koridor Ekonomi Wilayah Timur, Koridor Pembangunan Sabah dan Koridor Tenaga Diperbaharui Sarawak (SCORE), telah menggariskan beberapa projek-projek infrastruktur yang mempunyai kesan yang ketara bagi memastikan kejayaan pelan-pelan induk pembangunan ekonomi ini. 47 Bank Pembangunan Tinjauan Ekonomi Malaysia Laporan Tahunan 2007 Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (Bank Pembangunan), saya dengan sukacitanya membentangkan Laporan Tahunan Ke-34 dan Penyata Kewangan Beraudit Bank Pembangunan bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 2007.

Analisa yang dibuat ke atas projek-projek yang diluluskan menunjukkan arah aliran pelaburan menuju ke arah intensif modal, nilai tambah yang tinggi dan projek-projek teknologi tinggi. Sebagai insitusi pembiayaan pembangunan yang diberi mandat untuk menyediakan pembiayaan terutamanya kepada sektorsektor teknologi tinggi yang berintensifkan modal, Bank Pembangunan secara tidak langsung telah mendapat manfaat daripada pelaburan-pelaburan yang dibuat. Disokong oleh permodalan dan keberuntungan yang kukuh, sektor perbankan telah menunjukkan tahap prestasi memberangsangkan dan kekal berdaya tahan. Aktiviti pembiayaan sistem perbankan mencatatkan pertumbuhan kukuh sebanyak 8.6% berbanding pertumbuhan tahun sebelumnya sebanyak 6.3%. Permodalan sistem perbankan adalah kukuh dengan nisbah modal berwajaran risiko terus kekal di atas 13% setakat akhir tahun. Pinjaman-pinjaman tidak berbayar (NPL) untuk klasifikasi enam bulan bertambah baik dan menurun kepada 2.4% daripada jumlah bersih pinjaman berbanding 3.7% pada tahun sebelumnya, dibantu oleh pemulihan yang tinggi dan pengurusan kunci kira-kira yang aktif melalui jualan aset NPL dan proses hapus kira hutang lapuk dan ragu pada hujung tahun. Tinjauan Prestasi Institusi-Institusi Kewangan Pembangunan (IKP) LATARBELAKANG IKP telah diwujudkan bagi membangun dan menggalakkan sektor-sektor strategik ekonomi disamping mencapai objektif yang khusus serta matlamat sosial bagi pihak Kerajaan melalui mandat-mandat yang diberikan kepada IKP tertentu. Kerajaan telah menggariskan teras pembangunan bagi IKP di bawah Garis Panduan Ketiga Pelan Perspektif atau 3rd Outline Perspective Plan, Pelan Induk Kewangan, Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan dan Pelan Induk Industri Ketiga. Perkara utama dalam teras pembangunan tersebut adalah: • Menyediakan peluang pembiayaan untuk membantu membangunkan sektor-sektor yang digalakkan oleh kerajaan. • Menyediakan peluang pembiayaan untuk menyokong kapasiti keusahawanan dan keusahawanan tekno terutamanya di kalangan komuniti Industri Kecil & Sederhana. • Menunjukkan penggunaan yang efektif terhadap dana-dana Kerajaan dan memperkenalkan rangka kerja sistematik bagi mendapatkan dana ke arah pendanaan kendiri • Memupuk disiplin pengendalian termasuk meningkatkan ketelusan keinstitusian dan tahap tataurus korporat serta meningkatkan aktiviti pengurusan risiko. Daripada keseluruhan 13 IKP, enam (6) daripadanya dikawal di bawah Akta Institusi Kewangan Pembangunan 2002 atau DFIA, iaitu Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad, Bank Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana Malaysia Berhad (SME Bank), Export-Import Bank Malaysia (EXIM Bank), Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia (Bank Rakyat), Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) dan Bank Pertanian Malaysia (Agro Bank). Institusi-institusi kewangan pembangunan ini dijangka akan terus maju dan memainkan peranan penting dan menumpukan perhatian kepada pembangunan sektor-sektor strategik dengan menyediakan pembiayaan bagi sektor industri, sektor perkhidmatan dan memodenkan sektor pertanian. Dalam aspek ini, Bank Pembangunan akan tetap fokus kepada mandat yang diberi iaitu menyediakan kemudahan kredit jangka sederhana dan jangka panjang kepada projek-projek infrastruktur, maritim, teknologi tinggi dan industri berintensifkan modal dalam perkilangan dan sektor-sektor lain yang di kenal pasti seiring dengan polisi pembangunan negara. Bagi memastikan IKP ini terus fokus terhadap mandat yang diberikan dan aktiviti-aktiviti mereka dilaksanakan dengan bijak, cekap dan berkesan, Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) secara berterusan mengeluarkan berbagai pekeliling/garis panduan bagi mengukuhkan kapasiti dan meningkatkan rangka kerja IKP yang terbabit bagi melengkapkan usaha pengawasan tahunan mereka. Perkembangan dalam tahun 2007 Dalam tahun 2007, BNM telah mengeluarkan dua (2) garis panduan dan satu (1) pekeliling kepada IKP, seperti dibawah. • GARIS PANDUAN DANA LATIHAN STAF Garis panduan asal telah diperkenalkan pada 28 November 1985 dan semakan telah dibuat untuk digunapakai oleh IKP, berkuatkuasa mulai 6 April 2007. Objektif garis panduan ini adalah untuk menggalakkan institusi-institusi kewangan untuk melatih kakitangan mereka dan bukannya ‘memancing’ staf daripada institusi kewangan lain. Ini bagi memastikan tiada penawaran gaji yang melampau oleh mana-mana institusi kewangan yang melebihi tahap produktiviti sebenar dalam usaha memenuhi keperluan modal insan. Garis panduan ini yang berkuatkuasa mulai 28 September 2007 menggariskan prosidurprosidur kawalan yang boleh digunapakai oleh institusi-institusi kewangan dalam menawarkan produk-produk kewangan atau perkhidmatan yang baru dan jangkaan BNM terhadap amalan pengurusan dan pengawalan risiko berhubung dengan pembangunan, tawaran dan pemasaran produkproduk tersebut oleh institusi-institusi kewangan. Ia juga mengemukakan tanggungjawab institusiinstitusi kewangan terhadap pengguna-pengguna bagi memastikan produk-produk yang ditawar atau disyorkan adalah bersesuaian dan pengguna diberitahu dengan jelas akan sifat dan risiko berkaitan sesuatu produk tersebut. • AMALAN KUTIPAN HUTANG WAJAR Pekeliling ini menetapkan amalan kutipan hutang wajar yang perlu diikuti oleh setiap IKP bagi menerapkan tahap profesionalisme yang tinggi dalam kutipan hutang daripada peminjam yang dibuat sama ada oleh pengutip hutang dalaman atau agensi pengutip hutang luar yang dilantik oleh IKP. Dalam keadaan sekiranya agensi luar dilantik, pihak IKP perlu mengeluarkan dokumen kebenaran kepada agensi dilantik yang membenarkan mereka mengutip hutang bagi pihak IKP. IKP juga harus memastikan pengutip hutang dalaman dan agensi pengutip hutang luar yang dilantik, mematuhi peruntukan-peruntukan kerahsiaan di bawah undang-undang berkaitan dan juga amalan-amalan kutipan hutang seperti pengeluaran notis kepada peminjam, kutipan bayaran dan tatalaku pengutip-pengutip hutang. Prestasi Kewangan Enam(6) IKP di bawah DFIA Jumlah baki pinjaman telah berkembang sebanyak 18.6% daripada RM50.9 bilion pada 2006 kepada RM60.4 bilion pada tahun 2007, mewakili 92.6% daripada jumlah baki pinjaman keseluruhan IKP pada akhir tahun 2007. Pertumbuhan kukuh ini didorong oleh peningkatan dalam pembiayaan untuk penggunaan kredit oleh Bank Rakyat dan BSN dan pinjaman-pinjaman yang diberikan oleh Bank Pembangunan kepada sektor maritim dan teknologi tinggi. Pinjaman-pinjaman yang diberi kepada sektorsektor strategik ekonomi seperti pembinaan, elektrik, gas dan bekalan air, sektor perkilangan dan pertanian, kekal menggalakkan dan meningkat sebanyak 15%, mewakili 31% daripada jumlah pinjaman. Hasil daripada pertumbuhan kukuh di dalam baki pinjaman, nisbah kasar NPL menurun daripada 10.0% kepada 8.8% meskipun peningkatan ke atas jumlah pinjaman kasar NPL daripada RM4.9 bilion dalam tahun 2006 kepada RM5.1 bilion dalam tahun 2007. Prestasi Kewangan Bank Pembangunan dan Anak-Anak Syarikat Dalam tahun semasa, jumlah pendapatan faedah Bank Pembangunan telah meningkat sebanyak 15.24% kepada RM1.21 bilion daripada RM1.05 bilion. Pertumbuhan hasil faedah antara lain disumbangkan oleh peningkatan ketara di dalam pendapatan faedah daripada aktiviti pemberian pinjaman sebanyak 15.30%. Walaubagaimanapun, pendapatan bukan faedah susut sebanyak RM234.58 juta daripada RM369.03 juta pada tahun 2006 kepada RM134.45 juta pada tahun 2007 berikutan pengurangan pampasan yang diterima daripada Kerajaan berbanding pada tahun 2006. Bank Pembangunan mencatatkan keuntungan bersih RM408.53 juta, menurun sebanyak 17.62% jika dibandingkan keuntungan bersih pada tahun sebelumnya iaitu RM495.96 juta. Pendapatan bukan faedah yang lebih rendah dan peruntukan khas yang lebih tinggi menyumbang kepada keuntungan bersih yang rendah. Berbanding tahun 2006, jumlah aset 2007 telah meningkat sebanyak 3.58% atau RM806.37 juta kepada RM23.31 bilion disamping pertumbuhan pinjaman yang kukuh iaitu 8.0%. Pertumbuhan tersebut disumbangkan oleh permintaan pembiayaan yang memberangsangkan dari sektor teknologi tinggi berikutan peningkatan bagi permintaan ke atas sumber bioteknologi dan tenaga alternatif. Setakat 31 Disember 2007, jumlah dana pemegang saham Bank Pembangunan menunjukkan peningkatan sebanyak 7.39% iaitu daripada RM5.14 bilion tahun lalu kepada RM5.52 bilion dalam tahun 2007. Berdasarkan keputusan tahun kewangan 2007, Nisbah Modal Berwajaran Risiko Bank kekal pada 22.49%, berbanding tahun sebelumnya yang mana melepasi keperluan minima yang ditentukan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia. • BANK PERUSAHAAN KECIL & SEDERHANA MALAYSIA BERHAD (SME BANK) Bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 2007, pendapatan SME Bank meningkat 4.81% atau RM12.44 juta daripada RM258.45 juta daripada tahun sebelumnya kepada RM270.89 juta. Ini berpunca daripada peningkatan pendapatan faedah dan pendapatan berasaskan fi. Laporan Tahunan 2007 GARIS PANDUAN PENGENALAN PRODUK BARU 49 Bank Pembangunan • President/Group Managing Director’s Statement Penyata Presiden/Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Keuntungan sebelum cukai pula meningkat kepada RM53.43 juta, berbanding dengan kerugian sebelum cukai sebanyak RM306.94 juta yang dicatatkan pada tahun sebelumnya, yang mana kebanyakannya disebabkan oleh peruntukan yang tinggi, dan hapus kira hutang ragu dan hutang lapuk. Bagi prestasi operasi, sejumlah 1,622 projek dengan nilai pinjaman sebanyak RM3.05 bilion telah diluluskan, yang mana nilai pinjaman ini meningkat sebanyak 42.52% daripada RM2.14 bilion pada tahun sebelumnya. Walaupun usaha yang bersungguh-sungguh telah dilakukan bagi mengembangkan pasaran, pengawalan yang betul dan mekanisme pengawasan telah dilaksanakan bagi memastikan kualiti pinjaman tidak diabaikan. Ini dibuktikan dengan kadar rendah pinjaman tidak berbayar kasar sebanyak 6.40%. • Prestasi Pemberian Pinjaman Bank Pembangunan memainkan peranan penting dalam mempelopori pertumbuhan ekonomi sektor strategik negara dalam menyediakan pembiayaan jangka sederhana dan panjang khususnya kepada sektor-sektor yang telah diberikan mandat. Dalam tahun 2007, 67 pinjaman dengan jumlah RM4.69 bilion telah diluluskan bagi membiayai berbagai projek infrastruktur, maritim dan teknologi tinggi. • Bank Pembangunan telah memulakan pembiayaan projek-projek infrastruktur seawal tahun 1999. Pada awalnya pembiayaan lebih mengutamakan projek-projek infrastruktur yang dikenalpasti oleh Kerajaan. Namun begitu, pada hari ini, pembiayaan telah diperluaskan kepada projek-projek infrastruktur komersial seperti infrastruktur pelancongan. GLOBAL MARITIME VENTURES BERHAD (GMVB) Laporan Tahunan 2007 GMVB terus mendapat manfaat daripada peningkatan kadar sewa pengangkutan untuk kapal pukal kering dan kapal tangki. Pendapatan operasi bagi kumpulan GMVB meningkat sebanyak 18.17% pada 2007 kepada RM337.22 juta berbanding RM285.36 juta pada tahun 2006. Keadaan pasaran yang meyakinkan telah turut menyumbang kepada pulangan yang memberangsangkan daripada penjualan salah sebuah kapal. Hasilnya, keuntungan sebelum cukai bertambah daripada RM141.23 juta dalam tahun 2006 kepada RM341.25 juta pada 2007. Dana pemegang saham GMVB kekal kukuh pada tahun 2007 di mana ia meningkat hingga mencapai aras RM998.63 juta, selepas kejatuhan pada tahun 2006 berikutan pelaksanaan pengurangan modal. Bank Pembangunan 50 • PEMBANGUNAN LEASING CORPORATION SDN BHD Bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 2007, Pembangunan Leasing Corporation Bhd. (PLC) dan anak-anak syarikatnya, mencatatkan prestasi kewangan yang dinamik. PLC mencapai jumlah pendapatan RM42.28 juta dengan rekod keuntungan sebelum cukai sebanyak RM55.36 juta. Peningkatan yang ketara dari tahun 2006 dipacu oleh peningkatan dalam operasi pembiayaan Jual Beli dan Ijarah disamping pemulihan terhadap pinjaman-pinjaman tidak berbayar. • PEMBANGUNAN EKUITI SDN BHD Pembangunan Ekuiti Sdn. Bhd. (PEkuiti), sebuah syarikat usaha sama antara Bank Pembangunan dan Intrasys Sdn. Bhd., yang mana telah diberi mandat untuk menguruskan dana pelaburan sebanyak RM1.0 bilion di bawah SME Growth Acceleration Fund telah mencatatkan keuntungan sebelum cukai sebanyak RM0.53 juta pada akhir tahun 31 Disember 2007, peningkatan sebanyak RM0.28 juta berbanding RM0.25 juta pada tahun 2006. INFRASTRUKTUR Pada tahun 2007, 17 pinjaman bernilai RM2.78 bilion telah diluluskan bagi membiayai projek-projek infrastruktur dalam pelbagai sektor. Industri pembinaan merupakan penerima utama yang mencatatkan 86.0% daripada jumlah pinjaman diluluskan, diikuti oleh pelancongan, telekomunikasi dan pelabuhan. Jumlah aset pinjaman infrastruktur setakat akhir 2007 adalah berjumlah RM15.36 bilion berbanding RM15.33 bilion pada tahun 2006, yang mencatatkan peningkatan sebanyak 0.20%. Sektor air, pembinaan dan pengangkutan terus menjadi penyumbang utama kepada portfolio pinjaman infrastruktur. • MARITIM Setakat 31 Disember 2007, jumlah keseluruhan aset pinjaman maritim adalah RM1.72 bilion, satu peningkatan mengagumkan sebanyak 115.6% berbanding RM799.0 juta pada tahun kewangan sebelumnya. Ini telah membuktikan yang Bank Pembangunan telah meningkatkan usaha untuk terus memperhebatkan bantuan kepada industri perkapalan dan limbungan sejajar dengan mandat kami untuk membantu kerajaan membangunkan dan menukar negara ini ke arah Negara Maritim. Dalam tahun 2007, 18 pinjaman bernilai RM676.70 juta telah diluluskan. Keseluruhannya disumbangkan oleh permintaan yang besar daripada industri perkapalan, terutamanya daripada kapal luar pesisir. Jumlah pengeluaran pinjaman Bank pada tahun 2007 adalah RM1.45 bilion, peningkatan yang membanggakan sebanyak 502.90% jika dibandingkan dengan RM240.10 juta pada tahun 2006. • TEKNOLOGI TINGGI Dalam tahun 2006, Kerajaan telah memberi kepercayaan kepada Bank Pembangunan untuk mengurus Dana Biodisel bernilai RM500 juta. Dengan sambutan yang begitu menggalakkan daripada pelabur-pelabur tempatan, Bank Pembangunan telah memperkenalkan Skim Pembiayaan Biofuel bernilai RM2.0 bilion pada tahun 2007, sebagai kesinambungan daripada Dana Biodisel dan sebagai sokongan kepada Polisi Biofuel Negara. Dibawah skim ini, Bank Pembangunan telah meluluskan sejumlah RM300.50 juta pinjaman pada tahun 2007. Selain daripada itu, sejumlah RM2.0 bilion dana juga telah diperuntukkan untuk industri tenaga boleh diperbaharui dan kecekapan tenaga yang dikenali sebagai Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (Skim RE&EE). Skim RE&EE II adalah kesinambungan daripada Skim RE&EE I yang telah digunakan sepenuhnya. Bank Pembangunan telah meluluskan lima projek bernilai RM102.71 juta pada tahun 2007. Keseluruhannya, sektor teknologi tinggi menyumbang 5.42% atau RM978.90 juta daripada jumlah keseluruhan aset pinjaman dalam tahun 2007, yang mana ia adalah peningkatan yang menggalakkan sebanyak RM435.90 juta atau 80.28% berbanding tahun sebelumnya iaitu sebanyak RM543.0 juta. Salah satu prinsip operasi strategik di bawah plan strategik lima tahun adalah memperkenalkan program-program penambahbaikan yang komprehensif terhadap rantaian penyampaian perkhidmatan bagi pelanggan luaran dan dalaman dan mengambil pendekatan perniagaan dalam setiap aktiviti. Sehubungan itu, pada Disember 2007, Bank Pembangunan telah dianugerahkan MS ISO 9001:2000 bagi proses permohonan pinjaman sehingga pengeluaran surat tawaran. Untuk meneruskan penambahbaikan ini, Bank Pembangunan telah memulakan proses bagi mengembangkan perakuan ini sehingga ke proses pengeluaran wang. Pada bulan Ogos 2007, Bank Pembangunan telah bekerjasama dengan Asian Strategic & Leadership Institute (ASLI) bagi menganjurkan “4th National Utility Summit”, dengan tema, “Blazing New Trails: Development, Strategies & Opportunities for a Profitable Future”. Persidangan yang menarik itu telah mendapat sambutan menggalakkan daripada syarikat-syarikat utama dan besar daripada sektor-sektor utiliti; Air, Telekomunikasi dan ICT, Tenaga dan Elektrik, yang telah berbincang tentang perkembangan terkini, senario kes dan cabarancabaran seperti ketidakstabilan harga, kemajuan teknologi, kehendak pelanggan dan peraturanperaturan persekitaran yang kerap berubah. Tahun 2007 juga menyaksikan Bank Pembangunan menerima anugerah daripada Association of Development Financing Institution in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP) bagi kategori Pembangunan Infrastruktur untuk projek pengurusan banjir iaitu Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel ataupun SMART untuk mengurangkan masalah banjir di bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Penambahbaikan Berterusan 51 Bank Pembangunan Dana Baru Pembiayaan Perkapalan (NSFF) bernilai RM1.0 bilion yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 2001 terus mendapat permintaan yang menggalakkan.

President/Group Managing Director’s Statement Penyata Presiden/Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Buat pertama kalinya dalam sejarah gemilang Bank Pembangunan dan sempena sambutan Jubli Emas Kemerdekaan Malaysia, Bank Pembangunan sebagai warganegara korporat yang patriotik, telah menyambut ulangtahun ke-50 kemerdekaan dengan menggantung kain rentang gergasi dan menerbitkan iklan televisyen yang disiarkan di TV3 di sepanjang Perayaan Bulan Kemerdekaan. Usaha ini tidak sia-sia apabila kain rentang gergasi Bank Pembangunan telah mendapat tempat ketiga kain rentang hiasan terbaik sempena Perayaan Kemerdekaan ke-50 anjuran Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan. Sementara iklan televisyen pula dianugerahkan Pengarah Terbaik untuk iklan di Anugerah Oskar 6 anjuran Persatuan Pekerja Filem Malaysia. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Tanggungjawab Sosial Korporat Bank Pembangunan 52 Program Tanggungjawab Sosial Korporat (CSR) telah diperkenalkan bertujuan memupuk amalan-amalan tangggungjawab sosial dalam organisasi dalam usaha menyediakan bantuan kepada kanak-kanak kurang bernasib baik, anak yatim, orang kurang upaya dan ibu tunggal. Sebagai sebuah institusi kewangan pembangunan yang unggul, dengan hubungan yang begitu baik dengan masyarakat Malaysia, kami percaya yang kami bertanggungjawab untuk menyumbang kepada kehidupan yang lebih baik kepada masyarakat. Sebagai rakyat prihatin, Bank Pembangunan tidak pernah lupa untuk mengeluarkan zakat perniagaan kepada pusat pungutan zakat di seluruh negara. Penyampaian zakat perniagaan bagi tahun berakhir 31 Disember 2006 adalah sebanyak RM2.3 juta dan telah dikeluarkan pada tahun 2007. Bank Pembangunan dengan kerjasama Institut Pediatrik, Hospital Kuala Lumpur telah menganjurkan Majlis Sumbangan Aidil Fitri di hospital tesebut. Sumbangan berbentuk wang dan barangan itu, telah diberikan kepada 200 pesakit padiatrik di institut tersebut. Bank Pembangunan juga telah memperuntukkan sumbangan tunai kepada staf kurang upaya, ibu-ibu tunggal dan ahli keluarga staf yang telah meninggal dunia. CSR ini bukan bertujuan kedermawanan sahaja, bahkan juga usaha untuk mencetuskan kesedaran akan kesan kewujudan Bank Pembangunan terhadap masyarakat, keadaan sekeliling dan alam sekitar. Dalam tahun 2007, Bank Pembangunan meneruskan inisiatif CSR ini terhadap pemuliharaan alam sekitar dengan menaja lapan ekor Ring-tailed Lemur di Zoo Melaka. Bank Pembangunan telah sekian lama menyokong padu terhadap memulihara spesis-spesis hidupan liar yang terancam sejak 1990 lagi, sebagai menandakan komitmen jangka panjang Bank Pembangunan ke arah memulihara, mengurus dan menjaga sumber alam semula jadi dan budaya. Modal Insan Dan Pembangunan Organisasi Bank Pembangunan melihat pembangunan modal insan adalah kritikal bagi memastikan matlamat jangka pendek atau jangka panjangnya tercapai. Dalam persekitaran yang bergerak pantas dan berasaskan pengetahuan, kekuatan modal insan adalah penting untuk Bank Pembangunan terus bersaing. Strategi-strategi yang telah dikenalpasti bukan sahaja untuk membangunkan dan menambah baik bakat sedia ada, bahkan juga mengambil bakat baru dengan pengalaman yang berharga yang kemudiannya akan membantu mencipta budaya kerja yang harmoni dan berdaya maju. Sehubungan itu, Program Pelatih Pengurusan, yang telah diperkenalkan pada tahun 2006, disambung semula pada tahun 2007 dengan mengambil 16 orang siswazah baru untuk digilap dan dibangunkan sebagai pemimpin masa depan yang mempunyai wawasan dan kepimpinan berkualiti yang akan mengetuai Bank Pembangunan di masa akan datang.

Prospek Perniagaan Dengan Ekonomi Malaysia pada tahun 2008 dijangka akan terus kukuh, berbagai usaha telah diambil oleh Kerajaan dalam menyediakan asas yang kuat untuk membangunkan negara. Projek-projek mega yang digariskan di bawah Rancangan Malaysia ke-9 (9MP) seperti pembangunan koridor-koridor ekonomi seperti Iskandar Malaysia, Koridor Ekonomi Wilayah Utara, Koridor Ekonomi Pantai Timur, Koridor Pembangunan Kini kami sedang melaksanakan penstrukturan semula, yang mana akan menyaksikan pengasingan SME Bank daripada Kumpulan Bank Pembangunan seperti yang diumumkan pada suku keempat tahun 2007. SME Bank akan menjadi entiti yang berasingan di bawah Kementerian Kewangan Diperbadankan menjelang 1 April 2008. Proses pengasingan ini bertujuan menguatkan dan mempertingkatkan kapasiti, kecekapan dan keberkesanan kedua-dua Bank dalam menyediakan khidmat kewangan khusus kepada sektor-sektor sasaran. Dalam menyiapkan diri ke arah prestasi yang lebih baik dalam tahun 2008 dan tahun-tahun mendatang, kami akan meneruskan usaha menukar dan mengatur strategi dalam setiap aspek perniagaan kami untuk memberikan khidmat lebih baik kepada pelanggan, menjadi lebih efektif dan efisien dalam urus tadbir korporat dan kawalan dalaman yang mana akan meliputi pengukuhan seluruh proses kredit dan pengurusan risiko dan infrastruktur IT. Dalam menyiapkan diri untuk tujuan itu, kami telah mengambil beberapa inisiatif yang perlu untuk mengatur tenaga kerja, struktur, sistem dan proses-proses kearah pelaksanaan yang lebih tinggi. Pelaburan dalam modal insan akan terus menjadi keutamaan kami kerana mereka adalah aset terpenting Bank Pembangunan dalam menukar Bank Pembangunan menjadi entiti perniagaan yang efektif. Barisan hadapan akan didedahkan kepada kemahiran Penghargaan Bagi pihak Bank, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih saya kepada pelanggan kami, Kementerian Kewangan Diperbadankan, Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi, Bank Negara Malaysia, juga agensi-agensi kerajaan yang lain di atas sokongan dan keyakinan yang berterusan. Bagi pihak Pengurusan, secara ikhlas saya juga ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Ahli Lembaga Pengarah, yang telah menyokong kami tanpa ada rasa jemu. Sokongan dan keyakinan, diharapkan akan menjadi petanda baik pada tahun-tahun mendatang bagi memastikan Bank Pembangunan akan terus relevan dalam memacu pembangunan negara. Dato’ Tajuddin Atan Presiden/ Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Laporan Tahunan 2007 Seperti diumumkan di Belanjawan Negara 2008, Bank Pembangunan telah sekali lagi diberi kepercayaan untuk menguruskan Tabung Infrastruktur Pelancongan (TIF) bernilai RM200 juta, bagi mempromosi aktiviti pelancongan di Sabah dan Sarawak. TIF mula dilancarkan pada Oktober 2002 oleh Kerajaan bertujuan menyediakan pembiayaan kepada projek-projek berkaitan pelancongan seperti pusat pelancongan bersepadu, taman tema, taman rekreasi, kawasan dermaga, marina dan safari serta hotel dan resort dan lain-lain. RM200 juta ini akan menjadi sebahagian daripada peruntukan diberikan kepada Bank Pembangunan bernilai RM1.2 bilion untuk tabung TIF. Peruntukan khas untuk mempromosi industri pelancongan di Sabah dan Sarawak ini, menandakan kepercayaan dan keyakinan kerajaan terhadap kemampuan Bank Pembangunan. yang lebih baik bukan sahaja untuk memberi khidmat pelanggan dan menyediakan khidmat nasihat, tetapi juga untuk mengubah keseluruhan rantaian nilai kredit (credit value chain) untuk lebih kepada penganalisaan risiko (risk analytical), yang antara lain memerlukan mereka untuk meningkatkan kebolehan di dalam model risiko kewangan (financial risk modeling). Ini sejajar dengan keperluan baru yang mana menuntut lebih penekanan kepada metodologi dalaman Bank Pembangunan, semakan penyeliaan (supervisory review) dan disiplin pasaran daripada memfokus kepada menyukat risiko tunggal (single risk measure) sahaja. Kami akan meneruskan langkah untuk mendapatkan keyakinan pasaran kerana kami mahu dikenali sebagai institusi kewangan pembangunan yang berkesan dalam merealisasikan kehendak pelanggan dan pemegang saham. Kami akan terus membina daya tahan yang tinggi dan meletakkan di kedudukan yang baik agar dapat mengambil kesempatan terhadap apa jua peluang, yang bakal muncul di masa hadapan. Dengan meletakkan strategi di tempat yang betul, kami akan terus mara kehadapan sebagai institusi kewangan pembangunan utama, ke arah memenuhi aspirasi Kerajaan. Kami akan sentiasa berusaha untuk membina pertumbuhan yang mampan yang dapat melalui kitaran ekonomi dan perubahan-perubahan risiko pasaran. Sebagai penjaga kepada dana Kerajaan, kami akan lebih berhati-hati dalam mengatur strategi kami. 53 Bank Pembangunan Sabah dan SCORE, termasuk pelaksanaan beberapa projek-projek infrastruktur berimpak tinggi, tentunya memberi peluang yang lebih luas untuk Bank Pembangunan meluaskan bukan sahaja perniagaannya, bahkan juga ruang yang lebih untuk menyumbang kepada pembangunan negara. President/Group Managing Director’s Statement In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (Bank Pembangunan), it is my pleasure to present the Thirty Fourth Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements of Bank Pembangunan for the financial year ended December 31, 2007. Malaysian Economic Review Laporan Tahunan 2007 Malaysia’s economy in 2007 once again surpassed the estimated growth for the year under review whereby GDP grew at 6.3% as compared to the 6% forecasted. The economy registered a strong growth in the fourth quarter of the year, attributed by the robust domestic demand and increase in public sector spending. Bank Pembangunan 54 Positive growth was recorded in all economic sectors during the year. Agriculture sector expanded by 2.2% in which the growth was particularly high in the fourth quarter due to the expansion in crude palm oil output and higher output of livestock. Mining sector recorded a growth of 3.2% attributed by the increase in crude oil output that was supported by the Kikeh deepwater fields. Manufacturing sector grew by 3.1%, a reflection of the strong expansion in the domestic-oriented industries. Expansion in domestic-oriented industries was underpinned by the encouraging performance in transport equipment, food and beverages as well as construction related industries. Export oriented industries also showed a better performance with an improvement in the electrical & electronic sector. Services sector remained as the main impetus to economic growth with 9.7% growth for the year. Growth in the sector was mainly attributed by the strong performance of sub sectors like wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and restaurant, finance, insurance, real-estate and business services. Growth for the construction sector was sustainable at 4.6%. The country recorded its tenth consecutive year of trade surplus in 2007. Trade surplus increased by 3.7% to RM1.1097 trillion. Exports recorded an increase of 2.7%, while imports grew by 4.9%. The diversified export markets were the main factor for the sustained growth in exports. As a matter of fact, Asia markets have become more predominant for Malaysia’s exports. Export to Asia grew 6.2% during the year, representing 63% of total exports as compared to only 55% share a decade ago. Meanwhile, strong investment in the manufacturing and services sectors were regarded as the main factors to the increase in imports. The expansion in investment spending gave rise to the imports of intermediate and capital goods, which accounted for more than 70% of the total imports for the year. The trans-shipment cargo in the Southeast Asian region was growing between 10% and 15% a year. Based on this, more shipping lines are expected to switch hubs to Malaysia within the next five to ten years to benefit from Malaysian ports’ attractive pricing and capability in handling cargo volumes. This augurs well for Bank Pembangunan in which one of its three main mandated roles is to provide financing to the maritime sector particularly those that supports the intra-regional trade activities. Improvement in infrastructure was among the major agenda during the year under review. The launching of regional development master plans namely Iskandar Malaysia, Northern Corridor Economic Region, East Coast Economic Region, Sabah Development Corridor and Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy have outlined various high impact infrastructure projects to ensure the success of these economic development master plans. A total of 949 manufacturing projects were approved in 2007. Domestic investment approvals rose 2.9% to RM26.5 billion. An analysis done on the approved projects shows that the investment trend is moving towards more capital intensive, high valueadded and high technology projects. Being the development financial institution mandated to provide financing particularly to the capital-intensive high technology sectors, Bank Pembangunan has to a certain extent benefited from the investments made. Supported by strong capitalization and profitability, the banking sector demonstrated a high level performance and remained resilient. The banking system financing activity recorded a strong growth of 8.6% compared to a growth of 6.3% in the previous year. The capitalization of the banking system was strong with a risk weighted capital ratio (RWCR) of 13% as at end of the year. The non-performing loan (NPL) for six-month classification improved further to account for 2.4% of net total loans as compared to 3.7% in the previous year, underpinned by strong recoveries and active balance sheet management via NPL sales and year-end write-offs. Performance Review of Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) OVERVIEW Provide financing opportunities to support the development of sectors promoted by the Government; • Provide financing opportunities to support the country’s entrepreneurial and technopreneurial capacity especially in the SME community; • Demonstrate effective use of the Government funding and introduce a systematic framework for sourcing funds towards self-sufficiency funding; • Instill operational discipline including increased institutional transparency and corporate governance standards and enhanced risk management activities. Out of thirteen (13) DFIs, six (6) are regulated under the Development Financial Institutions Act (DFIA) 2002, namely Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad, Bank Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana Berhad (SME Bank), Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Berhad (EXIM Bank), Bank Kerjasama Rakyat Malaysia Berhad (Bank Rakyat), Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) and Bank Pertanian Malaysia Berhad. It is envisaged that these regulated DFIs would continue to progress and assume a significant role in addressing the development of strategic sectors by providing financing to promote the industrial sector, the services sector and the modernization of the agriculture sector. In this aspect, Bank Pembangunan would remain focused on our mandated role which is to provide medium to long term credit facilities to finance infrastructure projects, maritime, high-technology and capital intensive industries in manufacturing as well as other identified sectors in line with the country’s development policy. In ensuring those regulated DFIs remain focused on their mandated roles and that their activities are carried out in a prudent, effective and efficient manner, BNM continuously has issued various guidelines/circulars to strengthen the capacity and enhancing the prudential framework, to complement their yearly surveillance exercise. Development in 2007 In 2007, BNM issued two (2) guidelines and one (1) circular to the DFIs, as given below. • GUIDELINES ON STAFF TRAINING FUND The original guideline was introduced on 28 Nov 1985 and revision was made to include DFIs and made effective to them from 6 April 2007. The objective of this guideline is to encourage financial institutions to train their own personnel and not to resort to ‘pinching’ of staff from other financial institutions. This is to ensure that there is no excessive bidding up of salaries by any financial institutions that are far in excess of the actual level of productivity in order to meet human capital requirements. • GUIDELINES ON INTRODUCTION TO NEW PRODUCTS The guideline, which is effective from 28 September 2007 sets out the applicable regulatory procedures on the offering of new financial products and services by financial institutions and BNM’s expectations regarding the management and control of risk associated with the development, offering and marketing of those products by financial institutions. It also addresses the responsibilities of financial institutions towards consumers in ensuring that products sold or recommended are suitable, and that customers are clearly and fully informed of the nature and risks associated with these products. 55 Bank Pembangunan • Laporan Tahunan 2007 DFIs are established to develop and promote strategic sectors of the economy as well as achieve social goals, whereby certain DFIs are mandated to promote and achieve the Government’s specific social and economic objectives. The Government has outlined the development thrusts for DFIs under the Third Outline Perspective Plan (OPP3), Financial Master Plan, Ninth Malaysia Plan and Third Industrial Master Plan. The key imperatives under those development thrusts are: President/Group Managing Director’s Statement Penyata Presiden/ Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Laporan Tahunan 2007 • Bank Pembangunan 56 FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES This circular sets out fair debt collection practices that every DFI is required to observe in order to promote high standards of professionalism in collecting debts from borrowers which is made either by in-house debt collectors or external debt collection agency engaged by the DFIs. In the event an external agency is appointed, the DFI is required to issue an authorization document to the particular external agency to authorize them to collect debts on its behalf. The DFIs must ensure that the in-house and appointed external debt collectors comply with the secrecy provisions under the relevant legislation as well as debt collection practices in dealing with issuance of notice to borrowers, collection of payments and conduct of debt collectors. Financial Performance of Six (6) DFIs under DFIA Total loans outstanding expanded by 18.6% from RM50.9 billion in 2006 to RM60.4 billion in 2007 to account for 92.6% of the total loan outstanding of 13 DFIs as at end 2007. The strong growth was driven largely by the increase in financing for consumption credit by both Bank Rakyat and BSN and loans extended by Bank Pembangunan to maritime and high-technology sectors. Loans extended to strategic sectors of the economy i.e construction, electricity, gas and water supply, manufacturing and agriculture sectors remained favourable and increased by 15%, representing 31% of the total loans. As a result of stronger growth in loans outstanding, the gross NPL ratio improved from 10.0% to 8.8%, despite a hike in total gross NPL from RM4.9 billion in 2006 to RM5.1 billion in 2007. Financial Performance Of Bank Pembangunan and It’s Subsidiaries During the year under review, Bank Pembangunan’s total interest income rose 15.24% to RM1.21 billion from RM1.05 billion. The growth in interest revenue was inter-alia attributed to the significant increase in interest income from the lending activities by 15.30%. The non-interest income however reduced by RM234.58 million from RM369.03 million in 2006 to RM134.45 million in 2007 due to lower compensation received from the Government as compared to 2006. Bank Pembangunan recorded a Net Profit of RM408.53 million, a decrease of 17.62% as compared to the preceding financial year’s Net Profit of RM495.96 million. The lower non-interest income and higher specific provision contributed to the lower Net Profit. As compared to the 2006 figure, total assets for 2007 were up by 3.58% or RM806.37 million to RM23.31 billion amidst a backdrop of strong loans growth of 8.0%. The growth was mainly attributed to strong loans demand by the high technology sector, as demands for biotechnology and alternative energy resources are accelerating. Bank Pembangunan’s total shareholders’ funds stood at RM5.52 billion as at 31 December 2007, from RM5.14 billion a year ago, which represents an increase of 7.39%. Based on the 2007 financial year results, Bank Pembangunan’s Risk Weighted Capital Ratio (RWCR) was maintained at 22.49%, in comparable to RWCR in the previous year, which surpassed the minimum requirement set by Bank Negara Malaysia. • BANK PERUSAHAAN KECIL & SEDERHANA MALAYSIA BERHAD (SME BANK) For the financial year ended 31 December 2007, SME Bank’s revenue rose by 4.81% or RM12.44 million from RM258.45 million in the preceding year to RM270.89 million. This was attributable to the increase in interest income and fee-based income. The profit before tax increased to RM53.43 million, as compared to a loss before tax of RM306.94 million recorded in the preceding year, which was mainly due to high provision and bad and doubtful debts write-off. On the part of operational performance, a total of RM3.05 billion worth of loans were approved favouring 1,622 projects, the value of which increased by 42.52% from RM2.14 billion in the preceding year. Although greater efforts were made to expand SME Bank’s outreach to the market and consumers, proper control and monitoring mechanisms have also been put in place to ensure the quality of loans is not compromised. This was evidenced by the low rate of gross non-performing loans at 6.40%. GMVB continued to benefit from the increase in freight rate for dry bulk carriers and tankers. Its operating income, on a group basis, increased by 18.17% in 2007 to RM337.22 million as compared to RM285.36 million in 2006. The favourable market conditions had also contributed good returns from the disposal of one vessel. As a result, the profit before tax surged from RM141.23 million in 2006 to RM341.25 million in 2007. GMVB shareholders’ fund further strengthened in 2007 as it picked up to achieve RM998.63 million, after a drop in 2006 resulting from a capital reduction exercise. • PEMBANGUNAN LEASING CORPORATION SDN BHD For the financial year ended 31 December 2007, Pembangunan Leasing Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (PLC) and its subsidiaries recorded a dynamic financial performance. PLC achieved a total income of RM42.28 million with a record profit before tax of RM55.36 million. The substantial increase from 2006 was derived from the increase in Hire Purchase and Ijarah operations as well as recovery of the non-performing loans. • PEMBANGUNAN EKUITI SDN BHD Pembangunan Ekuiti Sdn Bhd (PEkuiti), a joint venture company between Bank Pembangunan and Intrasys Sdn. Bhd., which was mandated to manage the RM1.0 billion SME Growth Acceleration Fund recorded a profit before tax of RM0.53 million for the year ended 31 December 2007, an increase of RM0.28 million as compared to RM0.25 million in 2006. Lending Performance Bank Pembangunan plays a vital role in spearheading the growth of the country’s strategic economic sectors in providing medium to long term financing mainly to its mandated sectors. In 2007, 67 loans worth RM4.69 billion had been approved to finance various projects in the infrastructure, maritime and high technology sectors. • INFRASTRUCTURE Bank Pembangunan commenced the financing of infrastructure projects in 1999. Initially, financing was for the prioritized infrastructure projects identified by the Government. Today, however, Bank Pembangunan’s financing schemes have expanded to also cover the commercial infrastructure projects such as tourism infrastructure. During the year under review, 17 loans valued at RM2.78 billion had been approved to finance infrastructure projects in various sectors. The construction industry was the major recipient that accounted for 86.0% of the total loans approved, followed by tourism infrastructure projects, telecommunications and ports. The total outstanding infrastructure loan portfolio as at the end of 2007 was RM15.36 billion as opposed to RM15.33 billion in 2006, which recorded only a marginal increase of 0.20%. Water, construction and transportation sectors continued to be the main contributors to the infrastructure loan portfolio. Laporan Tahunan 2007 GLOBAL MARITIME VENTURES BERHAD (GMVB) 57 Bank Pembangunan • MARITIME As at 31 December 2007, the total maritime loan outstanding amount was RM1.72 billion, an astounding increase of 115.27% as compared to RM799.0 million in the preceding financial year. This proves that Bank Pembangunan had stepped up its efforts to further intensify the assistance provided to the shipyard and shipping industry in consonance with our mandate to assist the government in developing and transforming the country into a ‘Maritime Nation’. President/Group Managing Director’s Statement Penyata Presiden/Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan • In 2007, 18 loans valued at RM676.70 million were approved. It was largely a result of overwhelming demands from the shipping industry particularly those from the offshore support activities. Bank Pembangunan’s total disbursement in 2007 was RM1.45 billion, an impressive 502.90% increase as compared to 2006’s RM240.10 million. The RM1.0 billion New Shipping Finance Fund (NSFF), which was introduced in 2001 continued to receive overwhelming demand. Cumulatively, as at 31 December 2007, the NSFF had benefited 48 companies with a total approval amount of RM973.70 million. • HIGH TECHNOLOGY Laporan Tahunan 2007 The Government, in 2006, entrusted Bank Pembangunan to manage the Biodiesel Fund worth RM500 million. With the overwhelming response from the domestic investors, Bank Pembangunan introduced Biofuel Financing Scheme worth RM2.0 billion in 2007 as a continuation of the Biodiesel Fund and in support of the Government’s National Biofuel Policy. Under this scheme, Bank Pembangunan had approved a total of RM300.50 million worth of loans in 2007. Bank Pembangunan 58 Additionally, another RM2.0 billion worth of fund had been allocated for the renewable energy & efficient energy (RE&EE) industry. The RE&EE Scheme II is a continuation from Bank Pembangunan’s fully utilized RE&EE Scheme I. Bank Pembangunan had approved five projects worth RM102.71 million in 2007. Overall, high technology sector contributed 5.42% or RM978.90 million of the total loan outstanding as at end of 2007, which was an encouraging increase of RM435.90 million or 80.28% as compared to RM543.0 million in the preceding year. Continuous Improvement One of the strategic operating principles in Bank Pembangunan’s five-year strategic plan is to institute comprehensive improvement programmes across the service delivery chain to both the internal and external customers and to adopt a business approach to its activities. In line with that, in December 2007, Bank Pembangunan was awarded the MS ISO 9001:2000 certification for processing of loan application until issuance of letter of offer. To further improve its enhancement program, Bank Pembangunan has embarked on the process to expand the certification to the disbursement process. In August 2007, Bank Pembangunan teamed up as a strategic partner with the Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute (ASLI) to organize the 4th National Utilities Summit. With the theme "Blazing New Trails: Development, Strategies & Opportunities for a Profitable Future", the high profile event received good response from the key players and prominent companies from the utilities sectors. Key individuals from the Water, Telecommunication & ICT, Energy & Electricity sectors utilized the forum to discuss the latest developments, case-scenarios and insights into the challenges such as price volatility, technological advancements, consumer demands and the rapidly changing environmental regulations. The year 2007 also saw Bank Pembangunan being accorded an award by the prestigious Association of Development Financing Institution in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP) in the category of ‘Infrastructure Development’ for its Stormwater Management and Road Tunnel (SMART) project to alleviate the flooding problem in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. For the first time in Bank Pembangunan's glorious history and in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee Celebration of Malaysia's Independence, Bank Pembangunan as a patriotic corporate citizen celebrated the 50th anniversary of Independence by displaying a giant bunting and producing a television commercial, which was aired on TV3 throughout the Merdeka Month Celebration. The effort did not go unnoticed as the giant bunting was accorded the third placing in the best decorated bunting competition held in conjunction with the 50th Merdeka Celebration organized by Kementerian Kebudayaan, Kesenian dan Warisan. At the same time, the television commercial was accorded the Best Director award for an advertisement in the “Anugerah Oskar ke 6” organized by Persatuan Pekerja Filem Malaysia. Corporate Social Responsibility The Bank Pembangunan Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme was initiated with the intention of cultivating socially responsible practices within the organizations of Bank Pembangunan in order to provide aid to orphans, underprivileged children, the handicapped and single mothers. Being one of the leading development financial institutions with a long-standing relationship with the Malaysian community, we believe that we have a responsibility to contribute towards the well being of our community. As a responsible corporate citizen, Bank Pembangunan routinely distributes its ‘zakat perniagaan’ to zakat collection centres nationwide. The business tithes payments for the year ended 31 December 2006 was RM2.3 million, which was distributed to the deserving parties in 2007. Working in collaboration with Pediatrics Institute, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Bank Pembangunan had organized an Aidil Fitri Contribution Ceremony at the hospital. The contribution, both monetary and in-kind were made to 200 pediatrics patients at the institute. Bank Pembangunan had also allocated cash donations to its disabled staffs, single mothers and family members of deceased staff in a bid to bring cheer to their Aidil Fitri celebration. Bank Pembangunan views human capital development as critical in ensuring the achievement of its goals, short or long term; especially in this fast moving, knowledge-based arena where human capital gives Bank Pembangunan a crucial competitive edge. The strategies that have been put in place are targeted at not only developing and upgrading existing talent, but to also recruit new talent with valuable experience that will subsequently help create a viable working culture in a harmonious manner. Thus, the Management Trainee Program, which was introduced in 2006, was continued in 2007 by recruiting 16 fresh graduates to be groomed and developed from within into future leaders who have the mindset and leadership qualities to lead Bank Pembangunan in the coming years. The year 2007 also saw the appointment of Puan Haini Hassan and Tuan Haji Mohd Zarif Mohd Zaman onboard the Bank’s Board of Directors. At the management level, Bank Pembangunan witnessed the appointment of Encik Mohd. Fauzi Rahmat and Encik Mohd. Ghazali Abbas as the Chief Operating Officer and Vice President/Head, Group Audit & Examination respectively. In addition to that, Bank Pembangunan in early 2008 also welcomed Encik Jamaluddin Nor Mohamad as Senior Vice President, Operations. Bank Pembangunan bid farewell to the former President/Group Managing Director, Datuk Abdul Rahim Mohd Zin who retired on 30 August 2007 after almost 4 years helming Bank Pembangunan and its Group of companies. On 1 December 2007, Bank Pembangunan also witnessed the retirement of Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Hj Zainul Ariff Hj Hussain as Chairman of the Board. Bank Pembangunan also continued to acknowledge the tradition of providing staff awards. In 2007, 15 staff received the 10-Year Long Service Award, 15 the 15-Year Long Service Award, 12 the 25-Year Long Service Award and 2 staff received the 30-Year Long Service Award. Business Prospect With the Malaysian economy in 2008 expected to strengthen further, various efforts are being undertaken by the Government in providing a strong base for the development of the country. Mega projects outlined under the Ninth Malaysian Plan (9MP) such as the development of economic corridors namely Iskandar Malaysia, North Corridor Economic Region, East Coast Economic Region, Sabah Development Corridor and Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy; including the implementation of several high impact infrastructure projects, certainly offer wider opportunities for Bank Pembangunan to expand not only its business but also to provide greater contribution in spurring the national development agenda. As announced in the National Budget 2008, Bank Pembangunan had once again been entrusted to manage the Tourism Infrastructure Fund (TIF) of RM200 million to promote tourism activities in Sabah and Sarawak. TIF was initially launched in October 2002 by the Government to help provide financing for tourism related projects like integrated tourism centers, theme parks, recreational parks, waterfront, marinas and safaris and hotels & resorts and many more. This RM200.0 million will be part of the allocation provided to the Bank amounting to RM1.2 billion for its TIF. The specific allocation for the promotion of tourism industry in Sabah and Sarawak marked the trust and confidence of the Government in Bank Pembangunan. 59 Bank Pembangunan Human Capital And Organizational Development Laporan Tahunan 2007 The CSR initiatives are not only about philanthropy but also represents an effort to create more awareness of Bank Pembangunan’s impact on society, its surrounding and environment. In 2007, Bank Pembangunan continued its CSR initiatives in environmental conservation by sponsoring the upkeep of eight Ring-tailed Lemurs at the Melaka Zoo. Bank Pembangunan has been heartily supporting the care of endangered wildlife species since the 1990s to signify Bank Pembangunan’s long-term commitment towards the preservation, management, and care of natural and cultural resources. President/Group Managing Director’s Statement Penyata Presiden/Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Laporan Tahunan 2007 Gearing towards better performance in 2008 and years to come, we will continue our journey in transforming and strategizing every part of businesses to better serve the customers, be more effective and efficient in corporate governance and internal controls which would cover the strengthening of the overall credit process, risk management and IT infrastructure. Moving towards that, we have embarked on the necessary initiatives to align our people, structure, systems and processes towards superior execution. The investment in human capital would remain as our top priority as they form the essential asset of the Bank in transforming the Bank as an effective business entity. The front liners will be empowered with the improved skills set not only to serve the customers and better provide the necessary advice but also to transform the entire credit value chain to be more risk analytical, which amongst others require them to upgrade their capabilities with financial risk modeling. This is to be in line with new requirements which demands greater emphasis on the Bank’s own internal methodologies, supervisory review and market discipline rather than focusing on a single risk measure. We will pursue our journey to build market confidence as we want to be recognized as an effective development financial institution in meeting customer and stakeholder needs. We will persevere to build greater resilience and to be well placed to capitalize on any opportunity, which may arise in the future. With the right strategies in place, we will forge ahead in our voyage as a leading development financial institution, towards fulfilling the Government’s aspirations. We will always strive to build a sustainable growth that will withstand economic cycles and market risk changes. As a custodian of the Government’s fund, we will remain prudent in our strategies. Appreciation On behalf of Bank Pembangunan, I would like to express my gratitude to our customers, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperative Development, Bank Negara Malaysia as well as other Government agencies and authorities for their continued support and confidence. On behalf of the Management team, I would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the Board of Directors, whom has supported us tirelessly. The support and confidence, hopefully, will augur well in the years to come to ensure Bank Pembangunan will remain relevant in spurring the nation’s growth. Bank Pembangunan 60 We are currently undergoing a major re-structuring exercise, an exercise that will witness the departure of SME Bank from the Bank Pembangunan Group as announced in the fourth quarter of 2007. SME Bank will be a separate entity under Minister of Finance Incorporated come 1st April 2008. The separation exercise is aimed at further strengthening and enhancing the Bank’s capacity, efficiency and effectiveness in providing specialized financial services to its targeted sectors. Dato’ Tajuddin Atan President/Group Managing Director Laporan Reports Study On Malaysian Ports Introduction 1.1 OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is as follows: 1.2 • To provide a general overview of the port industry; • To determine the present status of Malaysian ports; and • To identify the business opportunities for BPMB. METHODOLOGY Laporan Tahunan 2007 The study is prepared based on primary and secondary research whereby the following methods were used: Bank Pembangunan 62 • Questionnaire surveys, visitations, discussion and observations with targeted industry players; • Discussion with related government agencies; and • Information derived from shipping publications, intelligent reports and industry web pages. Visitations and discussions have been conducted with the following ports: i. Port Tanjung Pelepas ii. Johor Port iii. Kuantan Port iv. Bintulu Port v. Kuching Port vi. Miri Port vii. Kota Kinabalu Port viii. Sepangar Bay Container Port ix. Westport x. North Port xi. Penang Port General Overview of Port Industry Economic globalization in some way has forced the ports around the world to evolve from a mere land and sea interfaces to becoming a provider of complete logistics network. Globalization of manufacturing and outsourcing; • Global trends of logistics network restructuring and reposition of regional and/or local distribution center; • Rapid growth in volume of world seaborne freight, especially container; • Emerging hub and spoke system in global shipping service; • Increase of transshipment cargo and competition among ports and terminal operators; • Introduction of the super mega size containership; • Increasing competition towards hub ports; • Emerging global terminal operators and their growing market share; • One stop shopping concept and intermodal transport linking strategically between ocean, railway, road and inland waterway; • Increasing role of ports in global supply chain management and logistics network structures; • Increase of productivity and efficiency in ports; and • High cost and constraints for developing port facilities. Due to the above challenges, competitive ports around the world have been trying to develop physical infrastructures, especially container terminals and related facilities, and to expand their port hinterland by introducing free trade zones with a hope to develop hub ports and international logistics centers. Additionally, in order to cope with the above challenges, some ports have been carrying out port reforms such as port governance restructuring and deregulations as well as private and public partnership. 2.1 EMERGING ISSUES IN PORT DEVELOPMENT 2.1.1 Development in Container Trade During the 1990s and early 2000s, the growth of world container trade was accelerated to an average growth rate of 9.1% per year. The rapid growth of container trade was attributed by the following factors: • Liberalization of international trade and globalization has substantially help accelerating the growth of international trade. The world trade volume has continued to grow with the gradual removal of barriers under the World Trade Organization and also through the regional trade agreements; • Increasing importance in transshipment movements (the transfer of cargo from one ship to another); • More ports have developed the infrastructure and acquired the handling equipment needed to cater container vessels. Due to this development, goods that had previously been shipped as loose cargoes gradually converted to containers; • Containerization, combined with developments in information, food and other technologies, has expanded the range of trading possibilities. The most obvious example, owing to the development in technologies, the carriage of highly perishable goods has been made possible; • China has emerged as a major new container market. The trade volume to and from China has grown enormously over the decade. 63 Bank Pembangunan • Laporan Tahunan 2007 The challenges in port industry are mainly coming from the unpredictable environmental changes as well as trends in the shipping, port and logistics industries. The following are some of the challenges in port industry, which ports in the world should give serious attention in order to become competitive: Study On Malaysian Ports 2.1.2 Hub And Spoke Network in Liner Service • In hub and spoke network system, containers to a region are delivered to a primary hub port and then transported to its final destination via sea, rail, road or inland waterways. • Similarly, exports from a particular region are collected at the primary hub, which are then transported to final destination. • The primary hubs must be equipped to allow for a quick turnaround time of vessels, have to be on the geographical central of the region and be able to accommodate large vessels. • The emergence of the system allows the establishment of load centers along the East-West shipping lanes. • Also, the systems allow shipping lines to provide a global network of east/west, north/south and regional services. Laporan Tahunan 2007 2.1.3 Port Reforms, Privatization and New Roles Bank Pembangunan 64 • Public - Private partnerships to finance port investments and manage port facilities have been common for many years. • Many governments have accelerated deregulation of economic activities and decentralization of decision making to reduce demands on the public sector budget, increase financial viability and improve productivity and efficiency in the port industry. 2.1.4 Emergence of Global Container Terminal Operators • The privatization of port activities around the world has increased the participation of global terminal operators, particularly in container port operations. • Global terminal operators are aggressively penetrating the global container stevedoring market in order to increase their competitiveness by establishing global networks. • Penetration of global terminal operators is through horizontal integration that is either by mergers and acquisitions or by investing in container terminal development in other countries. Investment in container terminal development could be done through a joint venture with local companies or other global operators or shipping lines. Examples are Hutchison Port’s acquisitions of concessions at ports in China, Indonesia, The Republic of Korea, Thailand and Myanmar. • The leading terminal operators will develop strategies toward the control of larger parts of the supply chain and establish a totally integrated system. • This includes creating a landbridge between ports and inlands, for example, by operating rail terminals, setting-up road haulage companies or running own feeder services. This expansion includes downstream diversification of shipping lines into terminal management like AP Moller (Maersk Sealand) at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas. 2.1.5 Hub Ports • Competition among hub ports is growing as less developed ports are developing their ports infrastructures to compete with the existing hub ports. • As competition increases, shipping alliances and major shipping lines have been taking advantage of their growing power in negotiating concessions for dedicated terminals or deciding ports of call. • Also, shipping lines demand ports to provide deep water, quality services, productivity, efficiencies as well as infrastructures such as rails and roads. • Ports are losing their bargaining power and have been forced to actively enhance productivity and invest a great amount of money in order to stay competitive. • Another major trend in port industry is the development of logistics related zones like free trade zones or international logistics zones to accommodate value-added logistics activities. • The main objective in developing such logistics center is to attract foreign investment and create new employment. • A successful logistic zone will be able to secure freight volume for the port and would open the potential to develop the port into a hub port. • Apparently, the trend to establish logistics centers by ports will further increase the competition in port industry. Laporan Tahunan 2007 2.1.6 Logistics Centers 2.2 WORLD’S TOP PORTS According to the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA), Shanghai Port of China, Singapore Port, Rotterdam Port of Netherlands, Ningbo Port of China and Tianjin Port of China are the world’s top five ports in 2005 based on the total cargo volume. Meanwhile, Singapore Port, Hong Kong Port, Shanghai Port of China, Shenzen Port of China and Busan Port of South Korea are the world’s top five ports measured based on the container traffic volume. It is expected that by 2010, Shanghai Port container throughput to surpass the performance of Hong Kong Port and by 2020 Shanghai Port is expected to be overtaken by Shenzen Port to become the world’s largest container port. Shanghai and Shenzen ports are expected to be moving 56.2 million and 57.9 million TEU, respectively, by 2020. Bank Pembangunan 65 General Overview of Malaysian Ports 3.1 BACKGROUND About 95% of Malaysia’s trade is by sea through the country’s seven international ports, namely Penang Port, Port Klang, Johor Port, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Kuantan Port, Kemaman Port and Bintulu Port. Study On Malaysian Ports Malaysia plays the role of a regional transshipment hub, while its ports serve as regional hinterland ports. Being a transshipment hub, the country functions as the transfer point for different shipping lines where cargo is off-loaded from one ship to other ships and forwarded to different port destinations. According to AAPA’s world port ranking 2005, based on the total cargo volume, Port Klang was ranked the 26th top port in the world with total cargo volume of 109.7 tonnes. Nevertheless, Port Klang was ranked 14th and Port of Tanjung Pelepas was ranked 19th in the world port ranking based on the container traffic in which each port recorded 5.5 million and 4.2 million TEU respectively. In comparison with the country’s nearest neighbour, Singapore Port was ranked 2nd based on its total cargo volume of 423.3 tonnes and regarded as the world’s top port for its container traffic of 23.2 million TEU. Laporan Tahunan 2007 3.2 Bank Pembangunan 66 PERFORMANCE OF CONTAINER TRAFFIC BY MALAYSIAN PORTS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2007 In general the volume of containers handled at principal container ports of Malaysia for the period of January to June 2007 increased by 14.76% to 7.4 million TEUs. The ports recorded a combined volume of 6.5 million TEUs for the same period in 2006. The growth was mainly attributed to the handling of more transshipment traffic. Port Klang, Malaysia’s leading container port, handled 3.38 million TEUs container traffic during the first half of the year as compared to 3.0 million TEUs handled in the same period last year. Port Klang comprises two port terminals, namely Northport and Westports, accounted for 46% of the total container traffic handled by ports in Peninsular Malaysia. Port of Tanjung Pelepas recorded container traffic of 2.72 million TEUs, while Johor Port registered 453,000 TEUs, bringing a combined container traffic volume of 3.18 million TEUs. Penang port’s container traffic volume grew by 11.53% to 444,242 TEUs for the first half of 2007. The port believed that with the delivery of its two quay cranes in July this year, the container traffic volume would reach 900,000 TEUs by end of the year. Kuantan Port, meanwhile, handled 65,117 TEUs during the period, marking a moderate rise of 9.12% from the same period last year. During the period in 2006, Kuantan port handled less than 60,000 TEUs. Sarawak’s four principal container ports namely Bintulu Port, Kuching Port, Miri Port and Rajang Port handled a total of 230,000 TEUs. During the period, Bintulu Port remained as the lead container port in Sarawak with total container handling of 110,420 TEUs, registering a dramatic increase of 34% as compared to 84,500 TEUs of container handling in the same period last year. The remarkable increase was due to the significant improvement in shipping services provided by Swee Joo Bhd and Harbour Link Line. Sabah container ports, namely Tawau Port, Kota Kinabalu Port and Sandakan Port also recorded positive growth in the container handling for the period. The three ports handled a total of 126,800 TEUs of container volume for the first half of the year.

There are also ports and jetties that are under the purview of the Marine Department, fishing ports and jetties under the purview of Fisheries Development Authority as well as special ports run by major oil companies. 3.3.1 Federal Ports The federal ports were established as Federal Statutory Bodies. For examples Penang Port was established under the Penang Port Commission Act 1955, Bintulu Port was established under the Bintulu Port Authority Act 1981, while the rest of the federal ports were established under the Port Authorities Act 1963. Nevertheless, under the Port Privatization Act 1990, the operations of federal ports were either corporatized or privatized to private operators. After the privatization of federal ports, the port authorities assumed new roles as the regulatory bodies. For illustration, Penang Port is now operated by a private operator, Penang Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB). Penang Port Commission, meanwhile, acts as the regulatory body for PPSB and other private operators under its jurisdiction. 3.3.2 State Ports 3.3.3 Minor Ports and Jetties Minor ports and jetties are classified under three categories: • Ports and jetties under the jurisdiction of the Marine Department Malaysia and governed by the Merchant Shipping Act 1952. Examples are Barter Trade Jetty in Labuan, Bandar Hilir, Melaka Jetty, Muar Jetty and Kuala Terengganu Jetty. • Fishing Ports and jetties under the jurisdiction of the Fishing Development Authority. Examples are fishing ports at Tanjung Dawai, Kedah; Sungai Udang, Melaka; Batu Maung, Pulau Pinang; Tok Bali, Kelantan and Mukah, Sarawak. • Terminals, which are privately owned by oil majors, beach resorts and fishermen. Examples are Kertih Port owned by Petronas, Labuan Port oil terminals and Tanjung Manis Port oil terminal that are owned by Shell, Pulau Indah oil terminal owned by Caltex and Port Dickson oil terminals owned by Esso.

In Sarawak, the port authorities, namely Kuching Port Authority, Rajang Port Authority and Miri Port Authority own and operate the ports. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Ports in Sabah and Sarawak are state ports that came under State Statutory Bodies. Ports in Sabah were established under the Sabah Port Authority Enactment 1967. Sabah ports have been privatized and operated by only one private operator that is Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd. Sabah Port Authority acts as the regulator.

Ports in Sarawak Regulator / Port Operator: Kuching Port Authority Rajang Port Authority Miri Port Authority STATE PORTS Source: MIMA Primary Research Findings PORT TANJUNG PELEPAS 4.1.1 Background Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) commenced operations in the first quarter of 2000. In a short span of 8 years, PTP has grown into one of the world’s major container port. During the period, PTP throughput volumes have grown by ten fold. Located at the south western tip of Johor, that is the confluence of major shipping routes, PTP is fast carving its reputation as the region's premier transshipment hub. PTP’s excellent port facilities, world-class state-of-the art port infrastructure, advanced integrated information technology system, and highly trained staffs ensure world class efficiency and productivity to its customer. As at end of 2006, total turnover for the company was valued at RM560.04 million, reflecting the growth of 15% compared with the previous year’s figure of RM484.98 million. The net profit after tax was RM115.06 million in 2006, an improvement of 50% from 2005, which was recorded at RM76.5 million. The increase in revenue was due mainly from the income of terminal, tenants and marine charges. The port recorded a throughput of 2.7 million TEUs between January and June 2007. In 2006, PTP coped with 4.8 million TEUs, accounting for 46% of the 13.6 million TEUs handled by all the ports in Malaysia. PTP is at the tail end of completing the construction of its two additional berths. The additional berths will increase its annual handling capacity from 6 million TEUs to 8 million TEUs. 4.1.3 SWOT Analysis PTP is in intense, direct competition with Port of Singapore. Its feeder network can be further developed with the development of new ports in neighbouring countries. The threats, could be reversed as an opportunistic strategy in forging collaborations and forming strategic alliance to enhance PTP’s competitiveness. In its defense, PTP is not just in competition with the Port of Singapore, but is up against the might of the Singapore government who would go out of its way to ensure its port does not loose out. Singapore’s greatest advantage is its long history and undisputed standing as a port of choice. Figure 2: SWOT Analysis of Port Tanjung Pelepas STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Offers over 1000 acres of commercial and industrial free zone. _Excellent connectivity via road, air and sea that offers various business and logistics facilitations that can attract big companies. _Ideal hub location in SE Asia. _Value-added services including bunkers, container repair, reefer repair and ship repair/supplies. _Highly efficient and reliable port management system, which features user online access. _Lack of skilled manpower. _Lack of cranes to support port’s operation. Over utilized crane’s capacity. (200%). _Lack of hinterland has resulted in over-reliance on transshipment, which is a volatile business. Pasir Gudang continues to be served by Johor Port due to it closer proximity to hinterland. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Free zone can attract MNCs, IPCs, RDC from Singapore as it offers cost savings. This can increase PTP’s local cargo base. _Greenfield site offers tremendous growth potential with capacity to expand in line with demand by shipping lines. _The maturing of new container markets following the admission of Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos would open up vast opportunities for new ports like PTP. _Having difficulties when dealing with local authorities (Lembaga Pelabuhan Johor) which involves many layers of red tapes and procedures. _Development of China ports. _Neighbouring ports are offering lines discounts and incentives on long-term contracts. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.1.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Port Tanjung Pelepas 69 Bank Pembangunan 4.1 4.2 JOHOR PORT Study On Malaysian Ports 4.2.1 Background Johor port also known as Pasir Gudang port is located in the midst of the largest concentration of palm oil refineries in Malaysia, making it the biggest palm oil handling port in the country. Nestled within the busy transport hub at the tip of Peninsular Malaysia, Johor Port Berhad operates in an exciting, progressive environment for businesses. In 1984, Johor Port became the first port in Malaysia to be gazetted as a Free Trade Zone, giving it a distinct business advantage. This status has effectively promoted the development of the port as an entreport centre and introduced a new dimension to Johor Port in international trading. Johor Port’s success is evidence with its stable financial performance. The port’s revenue for the year 2005 was RM435.4 million, 24% more than the previous year, which recorded RM352.6 million. Net profit after tax increased by 9.94% from RM124.8 million to RM137.2 million in 2005. This is supported by an increase in the amount of containership, break bulk and dry bulk cargo and a higher contribution from its whollyowned subsidiary, JP Logistics Sdn Bhd. The challenge for this matured port is to continuously deliver sustainable growth, while having limited space for expansion. Therefore, the port is aggressively pursuing new businesses, such as the ship-to-ship, salvage and warehouse management to generate new revenue streams. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.2.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Johor Port Bank Pembangunan 70 Container throughput for the first six months of 2007 hit a total of 453,000 TEUs. In 2006, container throughput recorded a 5% increase from 880,611 TEUs to 836,754 TEUs in 2005. However, the handling cargo throughput declined to 26.9 million tonnes in 2006 as compared to 28.1 million tonnes in 2005. 4.2.3 SWOT Analysis Due to the limited land available for expansion, alternative locations at Tg. Langsat and Tg. Pelepas have been discovered to support Pasir Gudang port - a development that poses a serious threat to the port. The problem of ageing equipment, which is seen as a weakness, should be quickly addressed as it may affect the efficiency of the port’s operations. Figure 3: SWOT Analysis of Johor Port STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Located at the industrial area. _Free Trade zone. _Strategically located at the busiest international trades lines. _Multipurpose port. _Ageing equipments. _Lack of skilled manpower. _Port tariff has not been changed since the last 30 years. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Business expansion in subsidiary company. _Development of synergistic business collaboration with shipping community (internationally & locally). _Iskandar Development Region (IDR) is a major stimulus for the development of southern Johor. IDR is expected to be the catalyst for foreign direct investments in the region and will provide opportunities for new revenue streams. _Neighbouring ports are offering competitive prices. _Utilization of land area is almost maximum. Higher cost for land acquisition or land reclamation. KUANTAN PORT 4.3.1 Background Kuantan Port Consortium Sdn Bhd (KPC) is wholly owned by Road Builder [M] Holdings Berhad. Kuantan Port is a multipurpose deep sea port facing the South China Sea. It plays a key role in catalysing the development of the East Coast Corridor, which is featured as the heartland of the petrochemical industries. Strategically located in the state of Pahang on the eastern seaboard of Peninsular Malaysia, Kuantan Port is developing into a major international port in tandem with the rapid expansion of the industrial and manufacturing activities of the East Coast Corridor. Supported with excellent port facilities and services, a vast market outreach and a strong network of global shipping connections have strengthen the position of Kuantan Port as a petrochemical hub port and a major container terminal of the East Coast region. In 2005, Kuantan Port recorded total revenue of RM92.23 million as compared to RM 91.06 million in 2004. The port’s revenue increased by 16% to RM108.0 million in 2006, surpassing the RM100 million level for the first time. However, net profit after tax was drop from RM37.22 million in 2005 to RM25.36 million in 2006 due to a decrease in operating income. Kuantan Port was expected to post a 10 % growth in revenue to RM120 million for 2007. Total cargo throughput at Kuantan Port in 2006 exceeded the 10 million tonnes level for the first time in its 32-year history. The 10.67 million tonnes of cargo throughput represented an increase of 11% over the 9.41 million tonnes achieved in 2005. Kuantan Port recorded 26% jump in its container throughput to 124,834 TEUs in 2006 as compared to 119,167 TEUs in 2005. 4.3.3 SWOT Analysis Kuantan Port’s vital strength is the availability of space for future expansion. Opportunity-wise, Kuantan Port has the infrastructure and attractions to potentially pull more shipping lines as well as to increase its throughput. However, the over- dependence on niche cargo i.e. chemical and petrochemical is a worrying threat, which it should seriously address by diversifying its services to other sectors. Figure 4: SWOT Analysis of Kuantan Port STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Strategic location especially for Far East trade. _Linked by rail network (Kerteh-GebengKuantan). _Ample facilities for chemical/petro-chemical industries. _Ample space for development of additional berth. _Industries located nearby not consumer-item based. _Lack of professional and skilled manpower. _No direct calls to Europe/USA market. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Development of Eastern Corridor Economic Region (ECER) may attract more main line operators (MLOs) for Far East market. _Setting-up a distribution centre for dry bulk cargo, which can carter the bigger vessel. _Capturing other markets with the establishment of free zone (industrial plus commercial) may increase throughput. _New East Coast Highway might cause cargo to move straight to other ports. _Facing competition from China, Thailand and Cambodia that offer better freight rates. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.3.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Kuantan Port 71 Bank Pembangunan 4.3 4.4 BINTULU PORT Study On Malaysian Ports 4.4.1 Background Bintulu Port is one of the top ports in South-East Asia. The port is strategically located along the busy sealanes between the BIMP-EAGA Far East and Europe on the north-east coast of Sarawak. The port covers an area of 320 hectares and serves the economic development region under the Bintulu Development Authority as well as the outlaying regions in Sarawak and neighbouring states. It is the only export gateway for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) produced from the Central Luconia field, off the Bintulu coast. In addition it handles a growing volume of a variety of general cargoes, liquid and dry bulk and containerised cargoes. For the financial year ended 2006, Bintulu Port has recorded turnover of RM385.54 million, registering an increase of RM2.65 million as compared to RM382.89 million in 2005. The net profit after tax was RM148.63 million as compared to RM47.37 million in 2005. This increase in revenue was attributed by the increase in the handlings of container, general cargoes and petroleum products. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.4.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Bintulu Port Bank Pembangunan 72 In 2006, Bintulu Port recorded a cargo throughput of 36.51 million tonnes, up from 36.44 million tonnes in 2005. Although Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is the principal traffic, there has been considerable change in the cargo mix. This is in accordance to the structural transformation of the economic and industrial development of its hinterland. The port now handles large quantities of bulk cargo consisting of crude oil, petroleum products, palm oil and general cargo. The total container throughput for Bintulu port has grown by 35% from 147,800 TEUs in 2005 to 199,704 TEUs in 2006. Transshipment of container cargo consists 55% of the port’s total container throughput, and container volumes are anticipated to increase about 16% this year against 2006 figures. The composition of cargo at the port is expected to undergo further changes in view of the increasing attraction of the port as an important sea outlet to the vast expanding hinterland of Bintulu, supported by massive energy and petrochemical projects. 4.4.3 SWOT Analysis Being labeled as the hub for East Malaysia, it is already gaining competitive edge than the other ports surrounding it. It should focus on its niche market that is LNG and leverage on its core competencies and inherent advantages. Figure 5: SWOT Analysis of Bintulu Port STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Strategic location as load centre/hub for East Malaysia. _Long-term customer focus due to nature of cargo (LPG, LNG, crude oil). _Strong financial reserve for internal funding for expansion. _Credibility and reputation of port. _State of Sarawak certified the port as deep water port to service the growing traffic in the state. _Lack of feedering network. _Heavily rely on LNG. _No attractive trade infrastructure. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Development of refinery/gas/energy sector in Bintulu. _Demand from international enterprise that looking for a regional base of aluminium plant. _Promote one stop maritime centre (bunkering/slop reception/marine services). _Competition with regional ports like Muara port (Brunei) and South Philippines. _Having difficulties in dealing with local authorities red tapes. _Port tariff has not been changed since the last 30 years. SARAWAK STATE PORTS (KUCHING, MIRI & RAJANG PORTS) 4.5.1 Background In Sarawak three separate port authorities have been set up to administer the Kuching, Miri and Rajang ports. Ports in Sarawak are established under the Sarawak Port Authorities Ordinance 1961. Kuching Port Authority (KPA), was the first organized port in the state of Sarawak. Situated just outside Kuching, the port has grown to become a premier port of the state. Miri Port is located along the north west coast of Sarawak, Miri Port is an important feeder port that links Sarawak’s northen region to the rest of the world. The port is not only a key player in the development of trade for Sarawak's economy but also for the Malaysia’s economy as a whole. Rajang port is a riverine port situated at the heart of Rajang River. Operating through 4 centres of operations, Sibu Port is the principal port and convergence centre for agglomeration of goods for the central region of Sarawak. 4.5.2 Financial Performance Miri Port recorded a satisfactory financial performance for the financial year ended 2005. The total revenue increased from RM6.60 million in 2004 to RM7.63 million in 2005. Loss after taxation decreased by 4% from RM10.78 million to RM10.38 million during the same period. The relocation of Miri Port to its new site at Kuala Baram industrial estate was another milestone in the rapid development of the economic growth for Miri. 4.5.3 Cargo Throughput Statistic In 2005 Kuching Port’s cargo throughput reached its highest level over the past 10 years. The total throughput registered during the year was 7.48 million tonnes. The growth was mainly due to strong performance in its container and liquid bulk cargo businesses. Container traffic grew by 1.3% to 143,096 TEUs in 2005 as compared to 141,227 TEUs in 2004. Miri Port’s total container throughput recorded an increase of 3% from 14,402 TEUs in 2004 to 14,823 in 2005. However, the total throughput registered a decrease of 5% from 5.33 million tonnes in 2004 to 5.05 million tonnes in 2005. This is mainly due to the decrease in the export of petroleum products. 4.5.4 SWOT Analysis In order to remain competitive in the global maritime trading, Sarawak State Ports are focusing to become a “One-Stop Centre” for maritime activities in Sarawak. Figure 6: Swot Analysis Of Sarawak State Ports STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _All terminals are in close proximity to the industrial estates to facilitate cargo movement. _Recognized as the main key players in the development of trade for not only Sarawak's economy but Malaysia as a whole. _Ports are linked by an efficient network of transportation. _Unfavorable location of the port (river ports). _Major ports have to deal more on red tape procedures (bureaucracy). _Increasing competition in the regional port industry. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Anticipate growth in the northern region (surrounded by the oil and gas industry). _Using IT development as a part of enabling tools in order to meet the increasing demand of market place. _The Sama Jaya Free Industrial Zone (SjFIZ) project located nearby the Kuching port has given another positive and proactive step towards the continuos growth and support of the industries by the government and private sectors. _Lack of export activities in Sarawak State. Laporan Tahunan 2007 KPA’s turnover decreased from RM61.65 million in 2005 to RM60.93 million in 2006. KPA recorded a net loss after tax of RM0.2 million in 2006 as compared to a net profit after tax of RM1.3 million in 2005. KPA's revenue for 2006 continued its gradual decline since 2004 as a result of slower increase in cargo volume especially for break bulk, liquid bulk and dry bulk cargo. 73 Bank Pembangunan 4.5 4.6 SABAH PORTS Study On Malaysian Ports 4.6.1 Background Sabah has seven main seaports, namely port of Kota Kinabalu, Sepangar Bay, Sandakan, Tawau, Lahad Datu, Kudat and Kunak. The port of Labuan enjoys free port status. With the exception of Labuan, all the ports are under the jurisdiction and control of the Sabah Ports Authority. The Sabah Ports Authority (SPA) was formed in 1968 under the Sabah Ports Authority Enactment 1967. This was amended in 1981 to authorise SPA to take control of all ports within the state. In terms of their financial performance, the ports have shown an encouraging performance in 2006. The total revenue increased to RM157.95 million in 2006 from RM147.09 million in 2005. The ports’ net profit after tax in 2006 grew 11.5% from RM41.53 million in the previous year. The seven ports in Sabah will continue to benefit from the expanding palm oil industry in line with the State Government’s efforts to develop palm oil related downstream industries. The new Sepangar Bay Container Port with more than double the current capacities and equipped with modern infrastructures/equipment will augur well for the port. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.6.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Sabah Port Bank Pembangunan 74 Overall, the total cargo volume handled at all ports rose to 28.1 million tonnes in 2006 compared to 26.2 million tonnes in 2005. The total volume of containers handled by Sabah Ports in 2006 was 226,721 TEUs compared to 208,500 TEUs in 2005, representing growth of about 8.7%. Liquid bulk cargo mainly palm oil contributes to about 39% of Sabah Port’s revenue while containers and dry cargo contribute about 23% and 26% respectively whereas the balances are from petroleum and chemicals. The seven ports handled a total of 14.2 million tonnes of cargo for the first six months in 2007 compared to 13 million tonnes for the same period last year. Container throughput for the first half of this year hit 129,000 TEUs, a 20.56% jump from the same period last year. The increase in cargo throughput was supported by strong growth in the palm oil industry in Sabah. Sabah is the largest palm oil producing state in Malaysia. 4.6.3 SWOT Analysis After the privatisation of Sabah Ports, the company has continuously embarked on various efforts to improve the port performance and productivity, which include port infrastructure development and purchase of port facilities equipments. The newly-developed 500-meter Sepangar Bay Container Port (SBCP) is said to be Malaysia’s new gateway in the BIMP-EAGA region as it is strategically located along the busy shipping lane between the Far East and Europe. Figure 7: SWOT Analysis of Sabah Ports STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Manage and operate all ports in Sabah. _The newly-developed SBCP is strategically located along the busy shipping lane between Far East and Europe. _SBCP functions as the regional feeder to China. _Holds monopolistic position as a sole port operator in Sabah only for the first 5 years after its privatisation. _Posses relatively short post-privatisation track record as the company is only in its third year of privatised operation. _Tax exemption privilege will expire soon (tax exemption for 5 years after privatisation). OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Development of Lahad Datu Palm Oil Industries Cluster to benefit Lahad Datu Port. _Palm oil, petroleum and timber are Sabah’s main exports, which are primarily transported by sea. _The SBCP would be able to attract bigger container vessels not only for Sabah and East Malaysia but also transshipment containers to and from North Asia as well as Indo-China and the Indian Sub-Continent. _Indirect competition from private jetties and mid-stream operators, who mainly cater to break-bulk cargo and small vessels. _After the privatisation, Sabah Ports is subject to comply to various government rules and regulations e.g. rules and regulations pertaining to licensing. WESTPORT 4.7.1 Background Westport is an integrated port situated on 587 hectares of waterfront land equipped with terminal handling facilities for containers, dry bulk, liquid bulk and other conventional cargo. Strategically positioned in the Straits of Malacca, Westport with its deepwater facilities at the doorstep of Malaysia’s largest and most concentrated industrial region is set to become a major load centre in southeast Asia. Looking into the port’s financial performance, revenue for Westport has grown steadily for the past three years. Westport's revenue grew by 16% from RM520.95 million in 2004 to RM604.45 million in 2005. During 2006, Westport achieved revenue of RM741.56 million, an increase of 23% compared to the previous year. A significant amount or about RM571 million of the revenue came from its container operations. As at June 2007, Westport commanded 63% share of the container cargo market in Port Klang. Westport's debt-to-equity ratio has fallen to 0.90 this year from 1.98 in 2006, due to an increase in paidup capital. In 2007, Westport is expected to see further growth from local and transshipment boxes. Local boxes are expected to grow by 15% and transshipment growth is expected to grow by 10% as more cargo from Indonesia and South Asia make direct calls or use Westport to transship. Westport now is looking forward to expand their facilities in anticipation of the growth forecast. In 2006, Westport achieved 3.6 million TEUs, which was 26% above 2005 figure. Local boxes are expected to grow by 15% or two-and-a-half times GDP of 6%. Transshipment traffic is expected to grow by 10% as more cargo ships from Indonesia and South Asia make direct calls or use Westports to transship. The main factor that contributes to robust growth of Westports’ quality services is its productivity being among the top five in the world. What is also pleasing about Westports’ achievement is that it is a 100% local enterprise serving almost 90% of international clientele. In other words, they can be called as a truly ‘global’ port. 4.7.3 SWOT Analysis Westports has plenty of strengths, which can be exploited further to attract more MLOs to enter its port. From a potential opportunity perspective, the limitation of its neighbour Northport can yield advantage to Westports to capture a bigger slice of the market. However, Westports must be diligent in addressing its weakness and mitigate the threats to enhance its competitiveness. Figure 8: SWOT Analysis of Westport STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _A world class sea-port. _Well-trained staff is highly in demand. _Situated in a strategic location that is ideal for users to capitalize on both the international and domestic markets. _Excellent existing infrastructure is readily available (rail, road or air) _Only one road access. _24 hours operation x 365 days resulting in high turnover of staff. _Insufficient cranes. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Located at Pulau Indah - Free trade zone area offers huge business opportunities. _Transshipment business mainly from China, Vietnam, Europe and Bangkok. _Being strategically located next to Selangor Halal Hub (SHH), given credit to the port to become halal hub centre. _Regional competition. _Conventional cargo moving to container. _High interest rate from financial institution for expansion. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.7.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Westport 75 Bank Pembangunan 4.7 4.8 NORTHPORT 4.8.1 Background Study On Malaysian Ports Northport is Malaysia's largest operator of multi-purpose port, handling 60% of the nation's trade. It is also Malaysia's pioneer port bringing along with it 103 years of experience in port dynamics. Northport is a major hub port and an integral component of the transportation pipeline in the region. With increased connectivity to ports in China and the East Asia and increase in the spread of services linking US ports, the Mediterranean and Europe, Northport offers more links to worldwide ports than any other port in Malaysia and has emerged as one of the most important hub ports in the region. Northport Holdings Bhd (NCB) showed improved performance during the financial year ended December 31, 2006. The port operating company, Northport (Malaysia) Bhd and haulage company, Kontena Nasional Berhad posted a combined turnover of RM834.0 million in 2006, compared with RM806.6 million recorded in the previous year. The net profit after tax was recorded at RM79.8 million, an increased of 16.5% from RM68.5 million in 2005. The total revenue posted by Northport was RM634.1 million while the haulage subsidiary recorded a total revenue of RM199.9 million. Laporan Tahunan 2007 4.8.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Northport Bank Pembangunan 76 Northport continued to maintain a strong market reach, registering a throughput volume of 2,661,094 TEUs, or an increase of 1.1% compared with 2,632,257 TEUs recorded in year 2005. 4.8.3 SWOT Analysis As an established port in Malaysia, Northport has a good reputation and extensive experience in the port business. Besides, it has a strong global network, with the potential of attracting more shipping lines through the provision of a wide range of services. The prospect of future growth in the Malaysian and regional economies would give plenty of opportunities to Northport to capture a bigger market and increase its throughput. However, Northport should be wary of its inherent weaknesses and monitor the threats in order to retain it competitiveness in the market. Figure 9: SWOT Analysis of Northport STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Extensive/strong network of global services. _The largest multi-purpose port facility in Malaysia providing a comprehensive range of port services. _Experience and stable management team. _Land limitation for long-term expansion. _Rigid commercial practice that needs to be promoted in order to attract more shipping lines beyond its traditional captive market. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Government certified Northport as a leading gateway port of making Malaysia the Global Halal Hub. _Emergence of Port Klang as regional hub. _Growth in Supply Change Management worldwide. _Regional competition. _Relocation of shipping lines. _Changes in regulatory policy. PENANG PORT 4.9.1 Background Located along the Northwest coast of Peninsula Malaysia, Penang Port serves one of the busiest trade routes in the region and links Malaysia to more than 200 ports worldwide. Being a deepwater port and overlooking major shipping lanes in the Straits of Malacca, it is a choice port of call for traders within the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle and the Asia-Pacific region. The North-South Highway, spanning the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia from the Malaysia-Thailand border to the MalaysiaSingapore border, places Penang Port within easy reach of all major economic regions in the country. Penang Port is also linked directly with the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia via the East-West Highway. Penang Port also serves very well as a sea-air modal choice for cargo transportation as it takes only 30 minutes to arrive at the Bayan Lepas International Airport from the port. The port has the facilities to handle containers, liquid bulk, dry bulk and breakbulk cargoes. Penang Port has embarked on an expansion programme, which aspires to become the main container terminal in the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMG-TG). 4.9.2 Cargo Throughput Statistic For Penang Port In 2005, the cargo throughput posted a 1.0% growth to 23.6 million tonnes from 23.4 million tonnes in 2004. However, in 2006, it decreased to 19.4 million tonnes. The container throughput for 2006, on the other hand, rose 6.8% to 849,730 TEUs over 2005 figure. As of June 2007, the container throughput has achieved 445,138 TEUs. This container growth was driven primarily by the increase in external demand for the country’s electrical and manufactured products. 4.9.3 SWOT Analysis Penang Port has promising potential to grow and capture a bigger market share due to its history, strategic location and good connectivity. Plenty of opportunities are in store for the port to expand its reach and enhance its competitiveness. Figure 10: SWOT Analysis of Penang Port STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES _Fairly large hinterland including Southern Thailand. _Good physical connectivity (road, sea, air). _Surrounded by areas of major economic growths. _Frequent breakdown of ageing equipment. _The wharf is not deep enough to cater to the mother vessels of shipping liners. _Lack of land transportation connectivity and inadequate support infrastructure. OPPORTUNITIES THREATS _Business expansion in subsidiary company. _Development of NCER will promote Penang port as the leading of the Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) as a regional transshipment centre. _Completion of second access bridge at the North Butterworth Container Terminal (NBCT) will benefits the port in providing logistic services efficiently. _Well known among foreigners as holiday destination thus could attract more cruise traffic. _Development and emerging new ports within its captive and extended hinterland (Southern Thailand port and Belawan). _Intra-port competition (PTP and Westport). _Development of rail services to other ports. Laporan Tahunan 2007 The year 2006 was a challenging year for the port as the slower economic growth had a significant impact on the throughput of the port. The revenue and net profit after tax was recorded at RM225.07 million and RM12.76 million respectively. 77 Bank Pembangunan 4.9 Financing Opportunities For BPMB Study On Malaysian Ports Bank Pembangunan could support the further development of the ports by providing financial assistance, especially in the area of port’s facilities and infrastructure.

PENANG PORT Third Phase of the Northern Butterworth Container Terminal (NBCT) for RM1 billion in 2007 – 2012: • Construction of additional wharf extension to the existing container wharves. • Construction of a new stacking area for export containers. • Construction of a new barging centre. • Procurement of seven Super Post-Panamax quay cranes and other handling equipment. • Dredging of the North Channel. Conclusion Cargoes handled by ports in Malaysia have increased in line with the rapid expansion of the economy. Aside from the increase in volume, there has also been a transformation in the composition of the cargoes handled leading to a wider variety of cargoes being handled by the ports in the country. It has been reported often that shippers tend to choose Singapore because they benefit from faster transit times, less congestion and greater range and frequency of services, even though it is more expensive. Hence, the underlying fact is that Singapore, besides the port infrastructure, is able to provide reliable and quality services to meet shippers’ demand. In this sense, despite the fact that both the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and Port Klang have made tremendous investments in terms of upgrading port capacity and equipment, what is lacking now is quality supporting services. There remain a number of obstacles to be overcome before Malaysia can succeed in becoming a regional transshipment centre. An overall integrated approach is needed to address the issues of transport inefficiency. The weaker links are between the ports and other transportation systems (road and rail) and the supporting services. • Lack of technical expertise and skilled workers to handle specific port operations; • Lack of container handling equipment and existing equipment is under performing; • Lack of computerization for port operations; • Competition with private jetties; and • Constraint in fund to implement upgrading and new expansion project as high capital investment is needed. Laporan Tahunan 2007 In general, amongst the problems faced by the port operators are as follows: The input gathered from the study includes proposals from port operators as to how various institutions can assist the industry: • Provide an integrated approach between the ports and other transportation system (road and rail); • Provide soft loans for capital and development investment; • Provide loans with lower interest rate; and • Provide expertise and assist ports in carrying out viability studies on any proposed investment project on port facilities before implementation as the cost is usually huge and payback period is slow. Bank Pembangunan 79 Study On Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) In Malaysia 1. BACKGROUND Offshore support vessels (OSV) are best described as a group of different types of vessels offering services either in the offshore operations as well as services between shore base and offshore. The OSV sector provides transportation services to offshore drilling rigs, fixed platforms, and floating platforms. The main services provided are: (1) Delivering drilling supplies, fuel, water, and food. (2) Moving personnel to, from, and between offshore installations. (3) Towing rigs from one location to the next and placing or retrieving its anchors. (4) Providing safety and emergency response services and, (5) Supporting offshore construction projects. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Vessel owners charge a daily fee for the use of a vessel. The rate depends upon a multitude of factors. Those factors include the type of vessel, the length of the contract, the supply/demand balance at the time of the contract, and where the vessel is located. Vessels can be traded on the spot market, meaning contracts are short in duration and only last as long as the task at hand or they can be on long-term contract, ranging in length from a few months to a few years. Crew vessels typically charge the least, followed by supply vessels and then anchor handlers. Rates can range from as little as US$2000/day for a crew vessel during lean times to US$40,000/day for an anchor handler during peak times. Bank Pembangunan 80 In most areas of the world, a supply vessel can move from one country to another without much difficulty. That gives companies with sizeable fleets a lot of flexibility to move their vessels from areas with low activity to areas with high activity relatively easily. 2. OFFSHORE BASINS OF THE WORLD The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) The Gulf of Mexico has long been one of the busiest supply vessel markets in the world. That is a direct result of the historical level of oilfield activity that has taken place as over 44,000 wells have been drilled in the Gulf since the 1940s. The market is highly competitive and it is estimated that there are over 150 different vessel owners operating over 850 vessels in the GOM. Foreign competition is not allowed in the GOM. The North Sea The North Sea is a very mature and developed market. It is a basin that requires vessels with advanced capabilities. This is due to the harsh working environment of the North Sea as well as the demanding requirements of deep water drilling. The North Sea market also requires the use of standby/rescue vessels, which are legally required by the U.K. government. These boats must be used to standby around rigs and platforms in case of emergencies. West Africa West Africa is a market that is dominated by only a handful of international players. Historically, vessel requirements were not terribly demanding and many less capable vessels could work there. That market still exists today. However, the rapid advance of deep-water exploration and development drilling over the past few years has dramatically increased the demand for deep-water capable vessels. West Africa is a basin that should provide good organic growth opportunities for everyone involved in the oilfield. Asia Pacific The Asia Pacific region cannot really be easily characterized. There are a wide variety of vessels to match a wide variety of working requirements. Some areas only require minimal support from vessels owners while other areas, such as the deep-water areas offshore Malaysia demand the newest, most capable vessels. However, the trend over the past few years is that more and more new generation vessels are winning the jobs. The Middle East The Middle East is probably the least demanding basin as far as vessel requirements is concerned. It is typically all shallow water and drilling depths are not considered that deep. Small, local players dominate the market. Brazil The Brazilian market is demanding. As one of the pioneers of deep water drilling, the requirements on vessel owners have always been high. Other Latin America DEEPWATER EXPLORATION The next impetus for growth in the oil and gas industry would be in the deepwater and ultra-deepwater explorations. With oil and gas resources being finite, oil and gas companies are going further to recover hydrocarbons from remote locations. Deepwater refers to water depth of between 200 meters and 1000 meters while ultra-deepwater refers to water depth beyond that. Deepwater exploration is the ultimate frontier of the petroleum industry, with the maturing of existing petroleum fields. Oil and gas companies are expected to continue increasing their capital spending to offset declining production volumes and to increase their reserves to meet the anticipated demand for crude oil. Deepwater exploration activities are primarily found in Brazil, Gulf of Mexico, Norway, Angola and Nigeria. Malaysia has announced several major deepwater crude oil finds in East Malaysia, with an estimated 1.540 million boe (barrels of oil equivalent).

Laporan Tahunan 2007 The rest of Latin America is characterized by much less demanding vessel requirements than that of Brazil. Very old vessels have typically characterized the Mexican and Venezuelan markets, which constitute the majority of non-Brazilian Latin America. Pricing has typically been the over-riding consideration in these markets as there was little need to differentiate on capabilities. Study On Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) In Malaysia 4. TYPE OF OSV VESSELS There are many different types of boats that provide services to the oil and gas industry. Some are designed to transport crews to, from, and between oil rigs and platforms, while others are used to deliver supplies to rigs or tow a rig from one location to another. The line between different asset classes can become blurred as many boats are built with functionality that crosses over into another vessel’s domain. Below are the main types of vessels used in the oil industry. Anchor Handling Towing Supply (AHTS) Anchor Handling Towing Supply vessels, or AHTS vessels, tow rigs from one location to another and are equipped with powerful winches which are used to lift and position the rig’s anchors. In addition, many can carry moderate amounts of supplies such as drilling fluid or drill pipe and also support offshore construction projects. AHTS vessels are usually specified in terms of base horsepower (BHP) and towing capacity. Laporan Tahunan 2007 New generation, deep-water capable vessels typically have much greater horsepower (at least 8000 BHP) and winch strength (at least 250 tons). Winch strength determines the size of an anchor and the maximum depth to which it can be placed. In addition, their winches also have longer spooling lengths, which are needed to place anchors in deeper waters. Most have dynamic positioning capability although it is not an absolute requirement. Dynamic positioned vessels use global positioning systems and computer controlled propulsion systems that allow the vessel to maintain an exact position, regardless of wave and wind forces. In addition, a vessel that is typically built today can carry more supplies than its 25 year old peers. Bank Pembangunan 82 TYPE OF OSV VESSELS PURPOSE Anchor Handling Tug (AHT) A special purpose vessel equipped with towing machinery used to tow offshore rigs and equipment from one location to another and to set anchors for drilling rigs. Usually in small size to maximize its towing power. TYPE OF OSV VESSELS PURPOSE Anchor Handling Tug Special purpose vessel Supply (AHTS) similar to AHT, equipped with towing winches to tow and deploy offshore rigs and moorings. In addition, AHTS, which are characterized by longer after decks, could be used in limited supply roles. Supply Vessels Offshore Supply Vessels deliver drilling supplies such as liquid mud, dry bulk cement, fuel, drinking water, drill pipe, casing and a variety of other supplies to drilling rigs and platform. The vessels are also referred to as Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs). They are the same thing, although some industry participants like to think of a PSV as the larger version of an Offshore Supply Vessel. Offshore Supply Vessels are usually specified in terms of cargo carrying capacity, measured in dead weight tons (dwt). Crew Boats Crew boats transport personnel to, from, and between offshore rigs and platforms. These boats are much smaller than their AHTS or OSV cousins, and can range in size from 75ft to 190ft (23m – 58m). Crew boats are generally specified by cruising speed. The smallest boats (75ft) are typically used to transport crews between offshore installations and not to and from shore. Newer generation crew boats, called Fast Supply Vessels (FSV) can also carry very limited amounts of supplies and as such are often used for emergency or time sensitive deliveries of supplies in addition to transporting crews To transport personnel to, from and between offshore rigs and platforms. Other Types of Vessels There are a variety of other types of vessels used by the oil & gas industry, which include: • Standby/Rescue Vessels, which are required to remain in the vicinity of offshore rigs and platforms in order to provide emergency response services, such as personnel rescue, fire fighting, and first aid. • Utility/Workboats, which perform a lot of work in support of offshore construction projects. • Survey vessels, which collect geophysical data. • Well stimulation vessels, which perform fracturing and acidizing of producing wells. • Multi-Purpose Supply Vessels (MPSV) which can provide a combination of remote subsea intervention services, remote operated vehicle (ROV) operations, deep-water lifting & installation, delivery of supplies, fire fighting, and oil spill recovery. • Tug boat, which is powerful small size boat with high level of maneuverability providing towing services for vessels and barge. • Laybarge/Crane, which is specialised barge with crane facilities used for pipe installation and pipe laying. Also equipped with welding stations and mooring system. • In addition, there are other boats that carry out maintenance work, pollution control, and diving support. TYPE OF OSV VESSELS Tug Boat PURPOSE Powerful small size boat with high level of maneuverability providing towing services for vessels and barge.

MALAYSIAN OSV INDUSTRY The analysis on Malaysian OSV is made based on statistics provided by Ministry of Transport. For this analysis, OSV is consists of Anchor Handling Vessel, Standby Vessel, Supply Vessel, Barge, Landing Craft and Tug Boat. Fleet Size In 2005, there were 136 OSVs registered in Malaysia with 127,464 GRT. In 2006, the number of OSVs registered increased to 157 (154,429 GRT) mainly due to favourable market. The Malaysian newly registered OSVs peaked in 1997 and since then registered a declining pattern until 1999. However, a positive trend was recorded from 1999 to 2006 as shown in Chart below. There was high demand for OSVs for the past 7 years driven by high charter rates.

Competing players in this industry are wide and include companies in various sizes ranging from large MNCs to local companies, both large and small. To remain resilient against adverse market conditions and stay ahead of competition, the competitive factors behold are price and quality of vessels and services. Presently, there are 22 major players in Malaysia that are engaged in the provision of offshore support vessels and services. These players in aggregate owned 278 vessels, which consist of various types of offshore support vessels, as illustrated in Table 3. It is noteworthy that the number of offshore support vessels is constantly changing, as the demand is dependent on the level of exploration, development and production activities in the oil and gas industry. Among the major players of OSVs are Bumi Armada, Borcos Shipping, Ajang Shipping and Scomi. 85 Bank Pembangunan Table 2: Age of Malaysian Registered OSVs (as at 31 December 2006) Laporan Tahunan 2007 Study On Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) In Malaysia Table 3: Vessels that service the Oil and Gas Industry in Malaysia Bank Pembangunan 86 COMPANY FAST CREW BOAT LANDING SAFETY CRAFT STANDBY/ GP UTILITY/ MINI SUPPLY AHT/ STRAIGHT TOWING SUPPLY VESSEL ANCHOR BARGES HANDLING TUG/SUPPLY WORKBOATS SURVEY VESSEL OTHERS TOTAL Ajang 2 4 12 - - 2 3 2 3 1 1 30 Borcos 15 – 11 2 - 1 2 - - - 4 35 Bumi Armada - - 4 6 - - 11 1 5 1 12 40 Alam Maritim - - - - - 5 7 - 1 2 - 15 Jasa Merin - - - 2 - 5 3 - - 1 - 11 Sealink 1 4 - 6 10 - 3 - - - - 24 Jaya Coastal - 4 2 - - - - - - - - 6 Tanjung Offshore - - - 1 - 4 2 - - - - 7 Sarku - - - - - - - 3 5 - - 8 Intra Oil Services 4 - - 1 - 1 9 5 2 1 - 23 Wise Innovations - - - - - - 1 - - - - 1 Amsbacj Marine - - - 1 - - - - - - - 1 JCB Oil & Services 1 - - - - - - - - - - 1 Gagasan 4 - - - - - - 2 - - - 6 Bahtera Wira - - - - - - 2 - - - - 2 Chalvoyage - - - - - - - - - - 2 2 Oilserve Marine - - - - - - 2 - - - - 2 Dayang Entreprise - - 1 - - - - - 2 - - 3 Sribima (M) Shipping - 2 2 - - - - - - - - 4 Tidewater Offshore 1 - - - - 7 - - - - 1 9 Intan Offshore 2 - - - - 2 8 - 1 1 - 14 Scomi/Chuan Hup - - - 11 - - 23 - - - - 34 30 14 32 30 10 27 76 13 19 7 20 278 Total Source: Study by Sribima and GMVB, 2006 Despite having numbers of local operators in the market, most of the OSVs are still dominated by foreign players as highlighted in Table 4.

Malaysian registered OSV licenses only consist of 9% out of 2,226 total licenses recorded during 5 years period from 2001 to 2005. The very low percentage indicates that the local players unable to meet the high demand for OSVs. Petronas undertakes the exploration and production of the oil and gas in Malaysia whilst other oil companies operate as a contractor to Petronas under Production Sharing Contracts (PSC). One of the requirements under the PSC is priority is to be given to Malaysian registered vessels. However, the oil companies have no choice but to charter foreign OSVs to fulfill their requirements as currently, the number of local OSVs are very limited. 87 Bank Pembangunan YEAR Laporan Tahunan 2007 Table 4: OSV Licenses Issued, 2001 - 2005 Laporan Tahunan 2007 Study On Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) In Malaysia 6. Bank Pembangunan 88 ISSUES IN OSV INDUSTRY Shortage of Skilled Technical Staff There is a shortage of skilled technical personnel in the oil and gas support services industry. A skilled staff takes a few years to train and there is no guarantee that another company in the industry might not poach him or her after the training is completed. The relatively small pool of seafarers, technicians, divers and engineers is due to the fact that the offshore support services industry is highly specialized in nature. As the oil and gas industry is seeing steady growth in activities, there is knock-on demand for extra human resources to fuel the additional work levels. Added to this is the use of multi-functional teams needed to operate in different geographic locations and environments. Consolidation and Rationalisation in the Oil and Gas industry Consolidation and rationalisation have been the key word in the oil and gas industry over the last decade. In tandem with the widespread mergers and acquisitions taking place in the business world, many petroleum companies are also merging so as to achieve economies of scale and higher crude oil reserves. The trend is also driven by globalisation forces as most of the oil and gas players are global in nature. The markets, prices and profitability are all tightly inter-linked between regions by extensive trade and competition. The net effect is that there are fewer petroleum companies in the scene while the number of supporting services companies remain fairly constant. By virtue of this, service providers supporting the oil and gas industry must be able to demonstrate quality services and meeting customer demand for vessels equipped with greater technological capabilities and larger in size as well as reliability in order to remain competitive. Project-Based Business One of the industry challenges faced by companies providing OSV services is to maintain a stable source of income due to having a majority of income derived from project-based businesses. Once the term of the project is completed, the support services companies would have to source for new projects to derive a new source of revenue. The exception is that the contracts are renewed for another fixed period of time, when the oil and gas companies are satisfied with their work. Hence, fluctuations in revenue are quite normal in project-based businesses. On a positive note, some service providers view this as an advantage where they could explore the best possible deal from time to time. Although long term contract is perceived to be providing as secured revenue stream, there could be risk involved in entering into unfavourable arrangement rate due to unforeseen circumstances throughout the long contract period. Greater Investment in Deepwater Environment In deepwater environment, the field architecture, technology and concept options are more complex and diverse and hence present greater risks. The need for a myriad of floater designs and sub-sea systems require extensive engineering expertise to manage a multitude of equipment and systems interface. The high risks present in deepwater development demands greater diligent risk mitigation, with huge investment of expertise. The further of the offshore platform is located from land, the greater is the risk and the smaller the permissible margin of error. Volatility in Oil Prices The fluctuation in crude oil and natural gas prices are significantly effected by the demand and supply of the global crude oil market. The level of volatility then affect the level of capital spending by companies operating in the O&G industry. Any major sustained decline in the price of oil price and gas could result in a lower investment in the E&P activities and tend to decline the investment in offshore support services. Although the industry specialists foresee the price will not drop below USD45 per barrel in the near future, no assurance can be given that the offshore support vessels activities will not be affected in the event of depression in oil prices. Increased Competition The offshore support vessels and service industry is a huge competitive environment to both local and international market, either from the local licensed service provider or foreign vessel suppliers which have jointventure arrangement with local licensed vessel suppliers that supply various maritime vessels and services to oilfield operators. Competitive factors include price, quality of services and quality and availability of vessels. Licenses, Registration and Certification Requirements The O&G industry in general is a highly regulated industry. Operators or service providers are required to possess the relevant licenses issued by Petronas in order to provide service to Petronas or other operators. In addition, the MOF also regulates the industry through the issuance of relevant license. The players are taking the risk, as there is no assurance that these licenses, registration and certification will be renewed when they expire. Furthermore, offshore support service provider must adhere and conform to the local legislations and international standards for safety management, operation as well as pollution controls. OPPORTUNITIES FOR OSV INDUSTRY The advent of deepwater exploration and production is expected to increase the demand for offshore support services as these petroleum fields lie at a greater distance from the shore. This new development will create greater demand for new series of OSVs, which have the capability in operating at deepwater oil fields for operational support and maintenance services. The successful ventures into other countries by Petronas have managed to establish good business relationships with host countries, which, in turn provide opportunities to the OSV operators to leverage on Petronas presence in search for new business. There is a strong need for Bank Pembangunan to support the local OSV players so that they could reduce the high number of foreign OSV operators in the lucrative local offshore market, thus prevent outflow of revenue from the country. Bank Pembangunan should expect an increase in demand for new OSVs due to the current booming market. There is also an urgent need for the local OSV operators to replace their aging fleet, which majority of them is above 20 years old. Laporan Tahunan 2007 The demand for offshore support services is correlated to the performance of the oil and gas industry. Specifically in Malaysia, the oil and gas industry is projected to expand further as the country is one of the major beneficiaries of increased crude oil prices, as it is a net exporter of crude oil. This translates into increased offshore support services including OSVs. 89 Bank Pembangunan 7. Study On Advanced Electronics Industry Introduction 1.1 Laporan Tahunan 2007 1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW ON ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA The electrical and electronics (E&E) industry is a leading contributor to Malaysia’s industrial development, in terms of output, foreign exchange earnings and support activities. During the period of Second Industrial Master Plan (IMP 2), 1996-2005, the industry registered double-digit growth in exports, thus maintaining Malaysia’s position as a net exporter of E&E products. Malaysia’s production and export of semiconductors ranked among the top five in the world for the period 2000 – 2004. Electronic integrated circuits, which constituted 28.2% of total exports of E&E products, increased by 4.6% or RM1.0 billion to RM23.1 billion during the same period. Malaysia is now looking to produce more high-end electronics products that have the potential to enhance the growth of E&E sector in the future. INDUSTRY CHARACTERISTICS AND SEGMENTATION Today, Malaysia's E&E industry has developed significant capacities and skills in the manufacture of a wide range of semiconductor devices, high-end consumer electronic goods and information and communication technology (ICT) products. The electronics industry in Malaysia can be classified into three sub-sectors: a) Consumer Electronics; b) Electronic Components; and c) Industrial Electronics.

During the five years period, exports of consumer electronics was hovering around RM19 million to RM22 million. This sub-sector includes the manufacture of colour television receivers, audiovisual products such as CD/VCD/DVD players, home theaters, portable digital music players, camcorders and digital cameras. The industry is moving towards the utilisation of flat panel display technology and production of multifunction digital audio/video products. The capital investment in this sub-sector for the period 2000 till 2006 amounted to RM3.8 billion. Electronic Components The trend shows export of electronic components increased from year 2002 to 2006. The products under this sub-sector include semiconductor devices (fabricated wafers, integrated circuits and integrated circuit design), passive components (capacitors, inductors, resistors) and other components (such as storage media, disk drive parts, printed circuit boards and metal and plastic parts/components for E&E application). Capital investment for the year 2006 amounted to RM7.6 billion. Within this sub-sector, the semiconductor industry is dominant in terms of production, employment creation and export contribution. Industrial Electronics This sub-sector covers ICT products such as computer and computer peripherals, telecommunications, optics, and other industrial electronic products such as office equipment (copier machines, fax machines, typewriters, automatic data processing machines) and industrial controllers. The industrial electronics export registered an upward trend from the year 2004 to 2006. Companies in this sub-sector have moved into the production and development of higher-end industrial electronic products such as computer networking equipment, new generation audio-visual digital equipment and data storage devices (magnetic resonance magnetic heads, compact disc media and hard disc drives). The capital investment under this sub-sector amounted to RM1.1 billion for 2006. Laporan Tahunan 2007 c) 1.3 ADVANCED ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY Advance Electronics industry in Malaysia is focusing more on higher-end electronics industry with emphasis on the sub-sectors of optoelectronics, photonics and laser technology, microelectronics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).

Commencing operations in May 2001, Finisar Malaysia currently exports products worth more than RM35 million a month, mainly to the USA, Europe and Asia. The plant in Ipoh, Perak, with a 1,100-strong workforce, manufactures optical transceivers, assembles passive optics components, and fabricates and packages filters. The Ipoh plant had initiated Research & Development (R&D) activities and played an active role in defining the manufacturing processes for the next generation of devices for Finisar. Taking advantage of Malaysia’s easy accessibility, Ipoh is Finisar’s global production supply chain centre and manages the company’s subcontractors in the region. Photronix Malaysia Founded in 1997 as an R&D company by a Malaysian entrepreneur, Photronix currently manufactures erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs), fibre fused tap, fibre Bragg gratings and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) couplers for original equipment manufacturers in the USA and Europe. MSC-status company with operations in Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), Photronix continues to be active in R&D and is conducting government-funded telecommunications-related research with local universities. 2.4 CURRENT STATUS OF PHOTONICS INDUSTRY The Third Outline Perspective Plan (2001 – 2010) has designated photonics as a priority area for R&D and industrial development. Photonics is a new field in this country. A concrete initiative has therefore to be put in place prior to any large scale mobilisation from the government. As such, manufacturers are invited to take advantage of the country’s capabilities by outsourcing their manufacturing activities to Malaysian companies or by setting up their operations in Malaysia, either in wholly-owned subsidiaries or in joint-venture with Malaysians. Industries which use photonics are growing in Malaysia. The production of photonic parts and components is expected to be worth US$28 billion by 2007. The most promising, but challenging field of photonics is the development of optoelectronics integrated circuits. Fabrication problems and incompatibility of materials have impeded progress in this area. Malaysian manufacturers will need to acquire the capability to develop photonics components and equipment and manufacture them efficiently in large volumes, to be able to reduce product costs and compete in the international market for photonics. Optoelectronics INTRODUCTION Optoelectronics is a field of technology that combines the physics of light with electricity. Optoelectronics encompasses the study, design and manufacture of hardware devices that convert electrical signals into photon signals and vice versa. Any device that operates as an electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducer is considered an optoelectronic device. Optoelectronic technologies include fiber optic communications, laser systems, electric eyes, remote sensing systems, medical diagnostic systems and optical information systems. Laporan Tahunan 2007 3.1 3.2 KEY PLAYERS – OPTOELECTRONIC COMPANIES Agilent Technologies Agilent Malaysia currently sources between 30% to 40% of its components locally, and this figure is set to increase. Agilent Malaysia currently makes a wide range of products for the global market including optical encoders, light emitting diodes, optical mouse, test and measurement instruments, camera modules and radio frequency semiconductors. R&D will play an increasingly important role, with spending a total of RM1 billion over the next five years. OSRAM Opto Semiconductors (OSRAM) One of OSRAM largest and most well equipped manufacturing operations for its opto semiconductor business segment is situated in Penang. Operating in Penang since 1972, the company manufactures surface mounted light emitting diodes (LEDs), radial LEDs, intelligent displays and sensors, and recently began the production of organic LEDs, based on a new and highly sophisticated technology. OSRAM sees Malaysia as an ideal base to supply the growing markets in Asia for photonics and optical devices. PWB Technologies (PWB) In 1999, Germany’s PWB commenced operations in Johor Bahru, Johor. PWB’s base in Johor Bahru is the company’s only manufacturing site outside German, where it currently produces optical encoders for clients in Europe and the USA, including Swiss engineering conglomerate Buhler. Photonics is a new business for PWB and one in which the company is planning for expansion. Bank Pembangunan 93 3.3 CURRENT STATUS OF OPTOELECTRONICS INDUSTRY Study On Advanced Electronics Industry Chart 2: Global optoelectronics industry in three major application areas 28% OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS 38% COMPUTING Laporan Tahunan 2007 TOTAL (2006) US$19 billion Source: www.photonics.com In 2006, the optoelectronics market achieved new highs with optoelectronics enabled and components reaching US$565 billion, a 14.5% increase over 2005 (US$494 billion). Presently, almost 75% of optoelectronics components are produced in Japan. It is estimated that by 2010, 22% of the global optoelectronics market value will come from new product technology. However, other parts of Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Thailand continue to show growth in optoelectronics. Over the last decade, many U.S. and European companies have been steadily moving manufacturing to Asia. While this trend is far advanced in the semiconductor market, the pace of this move has slowed considerably in the optical-component because the telecommunications market continues to remain severely depressed. From an applications standpoint, computing is the largest segment of the US$19 billion global optoelectronics market. The computing market is mainly composed of image sensors, non-diode lasers and LEDs. The consumer and entertainment applications sector follows closely in size, but has experienced the most growth, 15 percent, over 2004. Bank Pembangunan 94 Laser Technology 4.1 INTRODUCTION In 2006, the worldwide sale for laser materials and components was valued at US$5.98 billion. Demand for laser materials and components are expected to be driven by the expansion of the manufacturing capacity in Asia Pacific. Laser technology is used in various fields: • In the manufacturing sector, the application of laser welding in serial manufacturing is expected to expand. While laser cutting and welding of conventional blank sheets and laser cracking of motor parts are widely applied, the technology is also presently used in processing innovative materials (for example, foamed metals) and the manufacture of automobiles, where laser welding robots are used for cutting covering plastics. Automotive suppliers are also increasingly using laser welding for plastic housings (for example, electronic components). Laser soldering and laser welding for micro-applications (for example, sensors) are being tested for applicability. • In consumer electronics, telecommunications and data communication, lasers are used as transmitters in optical communication over optical fibres and free space. They are used to store and retrieve data from compact discs and digital video discs, as well as magneto-optical discs. Laser lighting displays accompany many musical concerts. • In medicine, laser scalpel is used for laser vision correction and other surgical techniques. Lasers are also used for dermatological procedures. • In surveying and constructions, laser line levels are used. • In aerospace, lasers are used in aircraft guiding system. • In military, lasers are used as target designators for weapons. For all these advanced applications, process and quality control are important. New kinds of laser sources will be explored to enable further applications. However, the primary challenge of adopting laser technology is cost, where the initial outlay for advanced laser cutting equipment may be prohibitive to most SMEs in Malaysia. 4.2 KEY PLAYERS Excel Technology Asia Excel Technology Asia was established in April 1999 as a subsidiary of Excel Technology, Inc.

Over the past years, ATEC has successfully undertaken numerous projects and amongst them, were state-of-theart projects solely developed in-house and in close collaboration with the worldwide principals, business partners and suppliers in advanced technological and robotics field. 5.3 CURRENT STATUS OF ROBOTICS INDUSTRY In the world market, robotics has doubled its size from US$5.7 billion in 2000 to US$11 billion in 2005. As shown in chart 4, robotic market is expected to grow by a factor of six by the year 2025. Currently, the EU holds a 35% share of the world's robotics market. In 2006, more than 61,700 robots were supplied to Asian countries (including Australia and New Zealand), about 19% fewer than in 2005. The E&E industry in Asia, which invested very heavily in 2005, cut robot purchases by half. Supplies to the automotive industry also decreased slightly. In Japan, supplies fell by 26% to about 37,400 units. After the substantial investments within the automotive and E&E industry in 2005, purchases in both sectors were down in 2006. The sharp fall was compensated by increased sales to the machinery and metal industry as well as to the chemical industry. In 2006, about 10,800 industrial robots were ordered for destinations in the Republic of Korea, down 17% from 2005. In 2005, the supply was about 13,000 units, which was largely the result of strong demand from the electronic components industry.

The automotive industry is still the predominant user of industrial robots. In 2006, the number of industrial robots supplied in India almost doubled, to about 850 robots. Total supplies in all other Asian markets, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, decreased by 7%. An emerging area for the application of robots is the service industry. Personal robots are emerging, especially for household applications, for example, robots floor cleaning. Military applications will also drive the development of many mobile robots. In Malaysia the use of industrial robots is limited to a few industries, such as automotive assembly, semiconductors and chemicals. Micro-Electromechanical System(MEMS) 6.1 INTRODUCTION Micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon substrate through the utilization of microfabrication technology. MEMS technology allows smaller components to be integrated to produce smaller electrical and mechanical equipment. It capitalises upon the computational ability of microelectronics. Industries will be able to produce equipment in much smaller dimensions while expanding the space of possible designs and applications. Such equipment can be further enhanced by embedding chips which can be programmed with smart features. The technology will allow for high levels of functionality, reliability and sophistication at a relatively low cost. 6.2 KEY PLAYERS MEMS Technology MEMS Technology is the Malaysian holding company of SensFab Pte Ltd and SenzPak Pte Ltd, which are based in Singapore. The company designs and manufactures MEMS based products including pressure sensors, accelerometers, thermopiles, binary lenses, thermopile arrays and microphones. It is one of the fastest growing MEMS companies in the world. With its upcoming state of the art MEMS design centre, MEMS Technology will perhaps be the only independent MEMS company in the world that will be capable of offering services from design concepts to supplying fully tested products. 6.3 CURRENT STATUS OF MEMS INDUSTRY Chart 5 shows the global market for MEMS industry reached almost US$6 billion in 2005 and grows with a compound annual growth rate of 14%. It is expected to grow to US$25.3 billion in 2008. The average annual growth rate of the world market for the MEMS for the period 2000-2010 is estimated at 33.2%. In Malaysia, the pace of adoption of the MEMS is growing. In August 2007, MEMS Technology group received a RM9.6 million Strategic Thrust Areas Research (STAR) grant from Multimedia Development Corporation to subsidise the innovation centre. MEMS Technology is injecting another RM16 milllion to finance the R&D activities and operations of the innovation centre. The consumption of MEMS components for mobile handsets reached US$157 million in 2005, and by 2010, it is expected to surpass US$1 billion. There were also emerging opportunities for MEMS Technology to be used in products such as inertial sensors used in the automobile industry and radio frequency components.

Quantum Matrix has been working with Universiti Malaysia Perlis (formerly known as Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia), a fully funded government engineering institution specializing in Microelectronic. Quantum Matrix endeavors to be the foremost company in Malaysia in providing solutions not only for the automotive industry but also for telecommunication, consumer electronics, medical and industrial applications using MEMS technology. Laporan Tahunan 2007 Quantum Matrix Challenges Laporan Tahunan 2007 Study On Advanced Electronics Industry Towards sustaining the competitiveness of Malaysian industries in global market, several challenges in the application of advanced electronics need to be addressed, including: Bank Pembangunan 98 a) Shortage of skilled workforce and talents Greater utilisation of technologies require high skilled workforce, which is apparently represents a significant cost component of investment in high technology sector. While there are programmes on re-skilling, as well as industrial skill development training for unemployed graduates, the supply of a skilled workforce is still inadequate and often mismatched, due to rapid changes in technology developments. Industries face difficulties in coping with the supply shortage, due to the increase competition in the recruitment of workforce that has given a rise to job hopping by skilled workers to high staff turnover among companies. b) Limited utilisation of technologies and lack of effective linkages and support in R&D There is a need for greater utilisation of technology by Malaysian companies, especially SMEs. The lack of resources and limited involvement in R&D among Malaysian companies post a constraint in their ability to innovate or develop new products and services in order to enhance their integration into the global supply chains. To keep pace with rapid technological developments, Malaysian companies need to continuously upgrade their products and processes and involve in R&D for product innovation. To remain competitive, companies need to take advantage of the recent trends in technology convergence, as this will lead to opportunities in new applications and creation of new products and services. c) Limited access to financial support Costs which companies have to bear to acquire technologies include: • Capital equipment; • Upgrading and maintenance; • Remuneration for both local and foreign experts and skilled personal. High technology acquisition through foreign suppliers can be costly, partly due to the premium placed on the quality and reliability of the equipment and services. This compels most local industries to borrow heavily from financial institutions, in order to invest in new technologies required for the operations. There is also a need for flexibility in the provision of financial and technical support for R&D. It is necessary to ensure that there is a continuity in providing financial and technical support to enable research projects to be completed and produce expected benefits. Opportunities For BPMB Recognizing the sectors potential, the Malaysian government has identified photonics and optoelectronics as the country’s priority sectors for development. In line with this policy, the government is actively fostering photonics-related R&D at universities and research institutions. The government is also aggressively upgrading the skills of Malaysia’s workforce. Furthermore, the State Government of Penang is now vigorously campaigning to bring the photonics industry to Penang. The future development of the advanced electronics industry in Malaysia focuses on sustaining this high growth sector which is in the process of transforming into competitive, full-fledged skills-based electronics and ICT clusters, capable of supplying most kinds of electronic and ICT goods for the global market. There are vast business opportunities for electronic companies seeking a competitive base for manufacturing and other skill-intensive activities such as R&D, product design and development. Conclusion Over the years, Malaysia has proven itself not only as a major producer and exporter of electronic products but also as an attractive location to foreign investors. In developing the industry further, the government is prepared to consider granting tax incentives, including pioneer status and investment tax allowance, to a selected range of electronics products and high technology industries. A pioneer status scheme for small-scale industries is also available to eligible investors. The advanced electronics industry in Malaysia continues to enjoy high growth rates. It is envisaged that the industry will receive good response from investors as the government pursues more capital-intensive and high-technology investments to raise the value-added generated by the industry. In this context, the government has outlined a set of strategic directions and strategies which will be undertaken in the medium-term. To maximise value-added activities in the advanced electronics industry, there is, however, a need to develop capabilities in core, strategic and emerging technologies such as R&D, product development, marketing and distribution, as well as in upgrading human resource skills.

CORPORATE INFORMATION Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad ("the Bank") is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered office of the Bank is located at Level 16, Menara Bank Pembangunan, Bandar Wawasan, No. 1016, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur. The Bank is principally engaged to undertake infrastructure projects financing and to carry out the functions of a development bank focusing on maritime, advanced manufacturing industries, high technology and export oriented industries while the other entities within the Group are primarily involved in provision of financial services as a development bank, venture capital investment and ship owning activities. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the financial year. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 27 March 2008. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the Group and of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable Financial Reporting Standards (“FRSs”) in Malaysia as modified by Bank Negara Malaysia/Development Financial Institutions ("BNM/DFIs") Guidelines. The financial statements incorporate those activities relating to Islamic Banking, which have been undertaken by the Group. Islamic Banking refers generally to the granting of financing under Syariah principles. The financial statements of the Group and of the Bank have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated in the accounting policies below. 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Subsidiaries and Basis of Consolidation (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has the ability to control the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has such power over another entity. In the Bank’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss. (ii) Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries as at the balance sheet date. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting date as the Bank. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains or losses are eliminated in full. Uniform accounting policies are adopted in the consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the purchase method. The purchase method of accounting involves allocating the cost of the acquisition to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. (b) Associates Associates are entities in which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not in control or joint control over those policies. Annual Report 2007 2.1 Statement of Compliance and Basis of Preparation 121 Bank Pembangunan 2. Notes To The Financial Statements (cont’d) 31 December 2007 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (b) Associates (cont’d) (cont’d) Investments in associates are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment in associate is carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. The Group’s share of the net profit or loss of the associate is recognised in the consolidated profit or loss. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of such changes. In applying the equity method, unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss with respect to the Group’s net investment in the associate. The associate is equity accounted for from the date the Group obtains significant influence until the date the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associate. Annual Report 2007 Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortised. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the associate’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the investment is excluded from the carrying amount of the investment and is instead included as income in the determination of the Group’s share of the associate’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any longterm interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associates, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. 122 Bank Pembangunan The most recent available audited financial statements of the associates are used by the Group in applying the equity method. Where the dates of the audited financial statements used are not coterminous with those of the Group, the share of results is arrived at from the last audited financial statements available and management financial statements to the end of the accounting period. Uniform accounting policies are adopted for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. In the Bank’s separate financial statements, investments in associates are stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss. (c) Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (d) Foreign Currency Transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group's entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date except where the foreign exchange risk is borne by third parties (Guarantors). Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the income statement. (e) Property, Plant and Equipment All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (e) Property, Plant and Equipment (cont’d) (cont’d) Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The policy for the recognition an measurement of impairment losses is disclosed in Note 2.2(h). Freehold land has an unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Building-in-progress are also not depreciated as these assets are not available for use. Depreciation of other property, plant and equipment is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, at the following annual rates: 50 years 25 years 3 - 10 years 3 - 20 years 5 - 8 years 2.5 - 3 years The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any and the net carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. (f) Investment Properties Investment properties principally comprise properties held for long-term rental yields or capital appreciation or both and which are not occupied by the Group. Investment property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is disclosed in Note 2.2(h). Freehold land is not depreciated. Freehold building is depreciated at an annual rate of 2%, calculated on a straight line basis to write off the cost of each building over the estimated useful life. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria is met and excludes the cost of day-to-day servicing of that property. Investment properties are derecognised when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit and loss in the year in which they arise. (g) Leases (i) Classification A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases of land and building are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and buildings elements of a lease of land and buildings are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. All leases that do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards are classified as operating leases, with the following exceptions: – Property held under operating leases that would otherwise meet the definition of an investment property is classified as an investment property on a property-by-property basis and, if classified as investment property, is accounted for as if held under a finance lease (Note 2.2(f)); and – Land held for own use under an operating lease, the fair value of which cannot be measured separately from the fair value of a building situated thereon at the inception of the lease, is accounted for as being held under a finance lease, unless the building is also clearly held under an operating lease.

Notes To The Financial Statements (cont’d) 31 December 2007 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (h) (cont’d) Impairment of Assets The carrying amount of the assets, except for inventories, deferred tax assets, non-current asset (or disposal group) held for sales and financial assets (other than investments in subsidiaries and associates), are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Recoverable amount for goodwill is estimated at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (groups of units) on a pro rata basis. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Annual Report 2007 An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statement in the year in which the reversals are recognised. Bank Pembangunan 124 (i) Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost being the excess of the cost of business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment. The entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment when there is objective evidence of impairment. (j) Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at bank and deposits at call which have an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of outstanding bank overdrafts, if any. (ii) Loan Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debt based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date. (iii) Payables Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Financial Instruments (cont’d) (iv) Interest Bearing Loans and Borrowings All loans and borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of directly attributable transaction costs. All borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. (v) Equity Instruments Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are declared. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of tax. Equity transaction costs comprise only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which would otherwise have been avoided. (vi) Foreign Exchange Contracts, Interest Rate Swaps, Floater Annuity Swaps and Futures Contracts With the adoption of the revised BNM/GP8 as stated in Note 2.3(c) from 1 January 2007, all derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value and are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognised in the income statement. (vii) Securities Portfolio The adoption of the revised BNM/GP8 as stated in Note 2.3(c) has resulted in a change of accounting policy for securities portfolio. With effect from 1 January 2007, the holdings of the securities portfolio of the Group and the Bank are recognised based on the following categories and valuation methods: (i) Securities Held-For-Trading Securities are classified as held-for-trading if they are acquired principally for the purpose of benefitting from actual or expected short-term price movement or to lock in arbitrage profits. The securities held-fortrading will be stated at fair value and any gain or loss arising from a change in their values and derecognition of these securities are recognised in the income statements. (ii) Securities Held-To-Maturity Securities held-to-maturity are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group and Bank have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Unquoted shares in organisations set up for socio-economic purposes and equity instruments received as a result of loan restructuring or loan conversion which do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are also classified as securities held-to-maturity. Securities held-to-maturity are measured at accreted/amortised cost based on the effective yield method. Amortisation of premium, accretion of discount and impairment as well as gain or loss arising from derecognition of securities held-to-maturity are recognised in the income statement. (iii) Securities Available-For-Sale Securities available-for-sale are financial assets that are not classified as held for-trading or held-tomaturity. The securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value, or at cost (less impairment losses) if the fair value cannot be reliably measured. The return and cost of the securities available-for-sale are credited and charged to the income statement using accreted/amortised cost based on the effective yield method. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value after applying the accreted/amortised cost method are recognised directly in equity through the statement of changes in equity, until the financial asset is sold, collected, disposed of or impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity will be transferred to the income statement.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (j) (cont’d) Financial Instruments (cont’d) (vii) Securities Portfolio (cont’d) (iii) Securities Available-For-Sale (cont’d) Prior to the adoption of the new accounting policies described in Note 2.3(c), investments in securities are classified as investment securities. The accounting policies for investments securities were as follows: Investment Securities Investments in debt and equity securities are recognised initially at fair value plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition: – Investments in equity securities other than investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated at the lower of cost or market value, determined on an aggregate portfolio basis by category of investment after taking into consideration allowance for diminution in value, Annual Report 2007 – Investments in debt securities are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for diminution in value. Where in the opinion of the Directors, there is a decline other than temporary in the value of equity securities and debt securities other than investment in subsidiaries and associates, the allowance for diminution in value is recognised as an expense in the financial year in which the decline is identified. On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is recognised in the income statement. Bank Pembangunan 126 All investments in debt and equity securities are accounted for using settlement date accounting. Settlement date accounting refers to: (a) the recognition of an asset on the day it is received by the entity, and (b) the derecognition on an asset and recognition of any gain or loss on disposal on the date it is delivered. (k) Inventories Inventories consist of lubricants on board for own consumption and are stated at cost in US Dollars and converted to Ringgit Malaysia at a rate that approximates the rate of exchange at balance sheet date. The cost of lubricants is based on the weighted average cost and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. (l) Employee Benefits Short term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A provision is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. The Group’s contribution to the Employees Provident Fund is charged to the income statements in the year to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations. (m) Liabilities Deposits from customers, banks and financial institutions are stated at placement values and adjusted for accrued interest. Payables are measured initially and subsequently at cost. Payables are recognised when there is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (n) (cont’d) Government Grants Government grants are recognised at their fair value in the balance sheet where there is a reasonable assurance that the grants will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. The Government grants are presented in the balance sheet as “Infrastructure Support Fund” and “Deferred Income”. Deferred income comprises claims received in relation to interest rate differentials on financing of Government Infrastructure projects. Other claims received are recorded in the “Infrastructure Support Fund”. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income over the period necessary to match the grants on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. (o) Government Funds (p) (i) To finance the purchase of property, plant and equipment. The funds received are initially recognised at their fair values in the balance sheet as deferred income where there is reasonable assurance that the funds will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Government funds that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Government funds that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are recognised as income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. (ii) To finance loans for specific projects and utilise against credit losses and charges arising from the financing of these projects. The Government funds are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received in the balance sheet. The interest income earned on the loans financed by the Government funds is recognised as revenue of the Bank. Any credit losses or charges as a result of the loans defaulted are utilised against the funds. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance cost. (q) Contingent Liabilities Contingent liabilities consist of secured guarantees given to third parties on behalf of borrowers. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes to the accounts, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. (r) Disposal Groups Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation Non financial assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets (or all the assets and liabilities in a disposal group) is brought up-to-date in accordance with applicable FRSs. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, non-financial assets or disposal groups (other than investment properties, deferred tax assets, employee benefits assets and financial assets) are measured in accordance with FRS 5 that is at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any differences are included in profit or loss. Annual Report 2007 Government funds comprise the following: 127 Bank Pembangunan 2. Notes To The Financial Statements (cont’d) 31 December 2007 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (r) (cont’d) Disposal Groups Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation (cont’d) A component of the Group is classified as a discontinued operation when the criteria to be classified as held for sale have been met or it has been disposed and such a component represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. (s) Revenue Operating income for the Group consists of interest on loans and fixed deposits, income from leases, hire purchase financing, confirming and factoring, income from Islamic financing, charter hire, demurrage and freight income, income from acting as investment manager, income from investments and provision of advisory, consultancy and related services pertaining to investments and income from sale of food products and general merchandise and promotion of goods manufactured by Bumiputera entrepreneurs and rental of plant hire. Operating income for the Company consists of interest on loans and fixed deposits, income from Islamic financing and income from investments. Income recognition is as follows: Annual Report 2007 (i) Interest and Financing Income Recognition Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Income from Islamic banking financing is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the principles of Syariah. When an account is classified as impaired (arrears for more than six or twelve months (as further elaborated in Note(t)(i)) or where doubt as to the recoverability of an advance exists) recognition of interest income is suspended until it is realised on a cash basis. The policy on suspension of interest is in conformity with Bank Negara Malaysia/Development Financial Institutions Guidelines ("BNM/DFI/GP3") on classification of impaired loans/financing and provisioning for bad and doubtful debts, BNM/DFI/GP3 except for loans to finance Government Infrastructure projects and commercial infrastructure projects with long term supply agreements. Bank Pembangunan 128 (ii) Income Recognition for Leasing, Hire Purchase Financing, Confirming and Factoring Income earned on leasing and hire purchase financing is recognised based on the “Rule of 78” method and confirming and factoring on the accrual basis. Interest income from confirming activities is calculated on the straight line method over the period of confirming arrangement whilst interest income on factoring facilities are calculated daily based on the balance outstanding. (iii) Dividend Income Dividend income is recognised when the Group's right to receive payment is established. (iv) Charter Hire, Demurrage and Freight Income Revenue and expenses up to the balance sheet date are recognised for voyage which remain uncompleted as at the balance sheet date, the income receivable for the voyage are pro-rated up to the balance sheet date and all relevant costs are accrued. (t) Income Tax Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Tax expense is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year using tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (t) Income Tax (cont’d) (cont’d) Deferred tax liability is recognised for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Additional taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognised. (u) Basis of Valuation of Loans, Advances and Financing Loans, advances and financing are carried at their outstanding principal and interest balances less interest in suspense and allowance for bad and doubtful debts and financing. Basis of Valuation of Loans, Advances and Financing Loans, advances and financing are carried at their outstanding principal and interest balances less interest in suspense and allowance for bad and doubtful debts and financing. Based on management’s evaluation of the portfolio of loan, lease, hire purchase, block discount and factoring receivables, specific allowances for doubtful debts are made when the collectibles of receivables becomes uncertain. In evaluating collectibility, management considers several factors such as the borrower’s financial position, cash flow projections, management, quality of collateral or guarantee supporting the receivables, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. A general allowance based on a set percentage of the total outstanding loans, net of interest in suspense and specific allowance for doubtful debts is also maintained to cover possible losses which are not specifically identified. This percentage is reviewed annually in the light of past experience and prevailing circumstances and an adjustment is made to the overall general allowance, if necessary. An uncollectible loan or portion of a loan classified as bad is written off after taking into consideration the realisable value of the collateral, if any, when it is deemed that there is no prospect of recovery. In respect of the classification of impaired loans and provisioning for bad and doubtful debts, the policy of the Company states that a Government infrastructure loan and commercial loans with long term supply agreement with the Government are classified as impaired when the principal or interest is overdue more than twelve (12) months. For policy on portfolio other than the above, the loans, advances and financing are classified as impaired when the principal or interest is overdue more than six (6) months. (ii) Non-Banking Operations Debts considered to be uncollectible are written off while allowances are made for debts based on estimates of possible losses that may arise from non-collection of receivables. (v) Recognition of Interest and Financing Expenses Interest expense and attributable profit (on activities relating to Islamic banking business) on deposits and borrowings of the Group and the Bank are recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method, in the period in which they are incurred. (w) Foreclosed Properties Foreclosed properties are those acquired in full or partial satisfaction of debts and are stated at the lower of cost and fair value.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d) 2.3 Changes in Accounting Policies and Effects Arising from Adoption of New and Revised FRSs and BNM's Circulars (a) Adoption of New and Revised FRSs On 1 January 2007, the Group and the Bank adopted the following FRSs mandatory for financial periods beginning on or after 1 October 2006: FRS 117 Leases FRS 124 Related Party Disclosures (i) FRS 117: Leases Annual Report 2007 Prior to 1 January 2006, leasehold land held for own use was classified as property, plant and equipment and was stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The adoption of the revised FRS 117 has resulted in a change in the accounting policy relating to the classification of leases of land and buildings. Leases of land and buildings are classified as operating or finance leases in the same way as leases of other assets and the land and building elements of a lease of land and building are considered separately for the purposes of lease classification. Leasehold land held for own use is now classified as operating lease and where necessary, the minimum lease payments or the up-front payments made are allocated between the land and the buildings elements in proportion to the relative fair values for leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease. The up-front payment represents prepaid lease payments and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group and the Bank have applied the change in accounting policy in respect of leasehold land in accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 117. At 1 January 2006, the unamortised amount of leasehold land is retained as the surrogate carrying amount of prepaid lease payments as allowed by the transitional provisions. The reclassification of leasehold land as prepaid lease payments has been accounted for retrospectively and as disclosed below, certain comparatives have been restated. The effects on the balance sheets as at 31 December 2006 are set out in Note 11. Bank Pembangunan 130 (ii) FRS 124: Related Party Disclosures The adoption of FRS 124 did not result in significant changes in accounting policies of the Group and the Bank and did not have a significant impact on the Group and the Bank, other than the disclosure of the compensation to key management personnel as shown in Note 30. The following new and revised FRSs which are mandatory for companies with financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007 are not relevant to the Group and the Bank: FRSs FRS 6: Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources Amendment to FRS 1192004: Employees Benefit Actuarial Gain and Losses, Group Plans and Disclosures (b) Effective for financial periods beginning on/after 1 January 2007 1 January 2007 Standards and Interpretations Issued but Not Yet Effective The Group and the Bank have not adopted the following new and revised FRSs which have been issued but not yet effective.

In the previous financial year, the MASB had also issued FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for which the MASB has yet to announce the effective date. The impact of applying FRS 139 on the financial statements upon first adoption of this standard as required by paragraph 30(b) of FRS 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors is not required to be disclosed by virtue of exemptions provided under paragraph 103AB of FRS 139. (c) Voluntary Adoption of BNM's Revised Guidelines on Financial Reporting for Licensed Institutions ("BNM/GP8") With effect from 1 January 2007, the Group and the Bank voluntarily adopted partially the revised guidelines on Financial Reporting for Licensed Institutions (“BNM/GP8”) issued by Bank Negara Malaysia on 5 October 2004, and became effective to licensed institutions from period beginning 1 January 2005, which resulted in the following new accounting policies, all of which have been adopted prospectively: (i) The recognition and measurement of the investment and dealing securities portfolio of the Group and the Bank as securities held-for-trading, securities held-to-maturity and securities available-for sale. (ii) The recognition and measurement of derivative financial instruments and the adoption of hedge accounting. The revised BNM/GP8 requires the prior year comparative figures to be restated to reflect the changes in accounting policies arising from the adoption of the revised BNM/GP8. However, the Group and the Bank have not restated the comparative figures due to thefollowing: – It was considered not meaningful since the classification of securities in line with BNM/GP8 only commenced towards the end of the previous financial year. Accordingly, restatement of the securities would entail an arbitrary allocation of prior year’s dealing and investment securities into current year’s classification; and – The non-restatement of comparative figures is in line with the transitional provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“FRS 139”). Although FRS 139 is not yet effective, it disallows retrospective application and requires non-reversal of accounting policies followed in the prior year. In light of the above, the comparative figures of the Group and the Bank are not restated and any adjustments for the previous carrying amounts shall be recognised as an adjustment of the balance of retained earnings or reserves at the beginning of the current financial year. The details of adjustments made to the opening retained earnings, reserves and results for the current year are disclosed in Note 43 to the financial statements. The revised BNM/GP8 has also resulted in certain new disclosures as disclosed in Note 5. Annual Report 2007 (b) 131 Bank Pembangunan 2. Notes To The Financial Statements (cont’d) 31 December 2007 2.

Some of the Group’s subsidiaries have identified United States Dollar (USD) as their functional currency and have measured its results and financial position for the current year in USD. The results and financial position of these companies were subsequently translated into RM in accordance with the requirement of FRS 121. All financial information presented in RM has been rounded to the nearest thousand (RM'000) unless otherwise stated. 2.5 Significant Accounting Judgements and Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from these estimates. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions used that are significant to the financial statements and areas involving higher degree of judgement and complexity are as follows: Annual Report 2007 (i) Bank Pembangunan 132 Fair Value Estimation of Securities Held-To-Maturity and Securities Available-For-Sale (Note 5) The fair value of securities that are not traded in an active market are determined using valuation techniques based on assumptions of market conditions existing at the balance sheet date, including reference to quoted market prices and independent dealer quotes for similar securities and discounted cash flow method. (ii) Deferred Tax (Note 13) and Income Taxes (Note 32) The Group and the Bank are subject to income taxes in many jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in estimating the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and interpretations of tax law for which the final outcome will not be established until some time later. Liabilities for taxation are recognised based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be payable. The estimation process includes seeking expert advice where appropriate. Where the final liability for taxation is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, the differences will affect the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which the estimate is revised or the final liability is established. (iii) Allowances for Bad and Doubtful Debts (Note 6) The Group and the Bank review the doubtful loans, advances and financing at each reporting date to assess whether allowances should be recorded in the financial statements. In particular, judgement is required in the identification of doubtful loans, and the estimation of realisation amount from the doubtful loans when determining the level of allowance required. The Group and the Bank have adopted certain criteria in the identification of doubtful loans, which include classifying loans as non-performing when repayments are in arrears for more than six (6) months. Specific allowances for doubtful loans are provided after taking into consideration of the values assigned to collateral. The values assigned to collateral are estimated based on market value and/or forced sales value, as appropriate and conforms with BNM/DFIs guidelines. In addition to the specific allowances made, the Group and the Bank also make general allowance against exposure not specifically identified based on a certain percentage of total outstanding loan net of interest in suspense and specific provision for credit risk. Such estimates are based on assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance. (iv) Classification between Investment Properties and Property, Plant and Equipment The Group has developed certain criteria based on FRS 140 in making judgement whether a property qualifies as an investment property. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. If these portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease), the Group would account for the portions separately. If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as investment property.

The Income Tax Act 1967 was amended recently to introduce the single tier corporate tax system with effect from the year of assessment 2008. Under the new single tier corporate tax system, dividend distribution to shareholders will be exempted from tax. Under the single tier system, the Bank shall not be entitled to deduct tax on dividend paid, credited or distributed to its shareholders, and such dividends paid, credited or distributed by the Bank will be exempted from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, there will be a transitional period of six years, expiring on 31 December 2013, to allow companies to pay franked dividends to their shareholders under limited circumstances. Companies also have an irrevocable option to disregard the Section 108 balance and opt to pay dividends under the single tier system. This proposed change in the tax law also provides for the Section 108 balance to be locked in as at 31 December 2007. The Bank did not elect for the irrevocable option to disregard the Section 108 balance. Accordingly, during the transitional period, the Bank can utilise the balance in the Section 108 account as at 31 December 2007 to distribute cash dividend payments to ordinary shareholdings as defined under the Finance Bill, 2007. As at 31 December 2007, the Bank has tax exempt profits available for distribution of approximately RM1,500,823,000 (2006 RM1,247,708,000), subject to the agreement of the Inland Revenue Board.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group’s financial risk management policies seek to enhance shareholder value. The Group focuses on the enterprise wide risk exposure, which include credit, market, liquidity and operation risk and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. As part of the Group’s strategy to integrate the management and control of risks across the various risk segments, a dedicated function known as the Group Risk Management was established. Financial risks management is carried out through risk assessment and reviews, internal control systems and adhered to Group financial risk management policies, which are reported to and approved by the Board of Directors. The Board also approves the treasury policies, which cover the management of these risks. The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group are set out as follows: Credit risk Credit risk is the potential loss arising from customers or counterparties failing to meet their financial contractual obligations. Management of credit risk is principally through lending directions and policies, which are instituted based on prevailing business and economic conditions. Credit processes are also structured to ensure adherence of credit policies and to establish impartiality in loan origination, approval, documentation, disbursement and settlement. The Group Risk Management, is primarily involved in managing, enhancing asset quality, reviews concentration limits, according to various categories such as customer, economic segment and product types and monitors credit portfolio risk. Industry risk is also evaluated and monitored as dynamic changes in the economic environment has a direct impact on the Bank’s assets quality. 40. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Credit risk (cont’d) (cont’d) The internal credit risk rating system is enhanced to better measure the credit worthiness of each customer. The primary objectives are to provide a consistent approach in risk grading of the Group’s borrowers and to measure the risk of default by borrowers objectively. Internal single customer limit are regularly monitored to minimise the risk of over-concentration. The overall credit risk management is subjected to an ongoing process for reviewing and enhancement. Credit reviews on loan applications before being approved by the approving authorities are conducted. Various Credit Committee have been established to review all loans to be submitted for the approval of the respective Board of Directors of the Bank and subsidiaries. The respective credit committees themselves have approving authority up to a specified limit. Foreign Currency Risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of its borrowings made in currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia. The Group’s policy in managing its exposure to foreign currency risks is by hedging through forward contract deals. The Group manages its liquidity requirement on a day-to-day basis to ensure that funds are readily available for its operational needs, withdrawals of deposits and repayments to fund providers. The Group may raise funds locally and globally either through government-to-government arrangements or direct negotiations. Other sources of funding through the capital market are being explored on an on-going basis to ensure a diversity of funding source. Operational Risk Operational risk, which inherent in all business activities, is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events. Operational Risk Management (ORM) takes place in a day-to-day basis at each business unit level. The Bank mitigates its operational risk by having comprehensive internal controls, system and procedures, which are reviewed regularly and subjected to periodical audits by Internal Auditors. To further enhance the overall risk management, the Bank had started the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) project in 2007. The BCP program is expected to complete in 2008. Meanwhile, an interim BCP measures are in place. Interest Rate Risks The Group may be exposed to a loss in earnings due to the interest rates structure of the balance sheet arising from interest rates and yield curves changes. The sensitivity to interest rates arises from the mismatches in the reprising rates, cash flows and other characteristic of the assets and their corresponding liability funding. The Group manages its interest rate risk exposure through the use of fixed/floating rate debts and financial instruments. 165 Bank Pembangunan Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise will encounter difficulty in raising funds to meet its current and future payment obligations associated with financial obligations when they fall due. The liquidity and cash flow risks are managed by maintaining a diversity of funding sources and spreading debt repayments over a range of maturities.

FAIR VALUES Financial instruments comprise financial assets, financial liabilities and also off-balance sheet derivatives. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged or settled between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The information presented herein represents best estimates of fair values of financial instruments at the balance sheet date. Loans, advances and financing to customers, where such market prices are not available, various methodologies have been used to estimate the approximate fair values of such instruments. These methodologies are significantly affected by the assumptions used and judgements made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in the assumptions could significantly affect these estimates and the resulting fair value estimates. Therefore, for a significant portion of the Group's and the Bank’s financial instruments, including loans, advances and financing to customers, their respective fair value estimates do not purport to represent, nor should they be construed to represent, the amounts that the Group and the Bank could realise in a sale transaction at the balance sheet date.

FAIR VALUES (cont’d) The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of other financial instruments are as follows: (a) Cash and Short-term Funds The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of the financial instruments. (b) Deposits and Placements with Financial Institutions The fair values of those financial instruments with remaining maturities of less than one year approximate their carrying values due to their relatively short maturities. For those financial instruments with maturities of more than one year, the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using applicable prevailing market rates of similar remaining maturities at the balance sheet date. (c) Securities Fair values of securities that are actively traded is determined by quoted bid prices. For non-actively traded securities, independent broker quotations are obtained. Fair values of equity securities are estimated using a number of methods, including net tangible assets. The fair values of variable and fixed rate loans with remaining maturity of less than one year are estimated to approximate their carrying values. For fixed rate loans, variable rate loans and Islamic financing with maturities of more than one year, the fair values are estimated based on expected future cash flows of contractual instalment payments and discounted at prevailing rates at balance sheet date offered for similar loans to new borrowers with similar credit profiles, where applicable. In respect of Government infrastructure loans, the fair values are estimated after taking into account the Government compensation received on these loans. For non-performing loans, the fair values are deemed to approximate the carrying values, net of interest in suspense and specific allowance for bad and doubtful debts and financing. (e) Deposits from Customers, Deposits and Placements of Banks and Other Financial Institutions The fair values of deposits payable on demand and deposits and placements with maturities of less than one year approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of fixed deposits and placements with remaining maturities of more than one year are estimated based on discounted cash flows using applicable rates currently offered for deposits and placements with similar remaining maturities. The fair value of Islamic deposits are estimated to approximate their carrying values as the profit rates are determined at the end of their holding periods based on the actual profits generated from the assets invested. (f) Redeemable Guaranteed Notes The fair values are estimated based on expected future cash flows of coupon and face value payments and discounted at their quoted bid prices at balance sheet date or prevailing rates at balance sheet date obtained for similar notes with similar maturities, where applicable. (g) Long Term Loans The fair values are estimated based on expected future cash flows of contractual instalment payments and discounted at prevailing rates at balance sheet date obtained for similar loans with similar maturities, where applicable. (h) Derivative Financial Instruments Fair values of derivative instruments are normally zero or negligible at inception and the subsequent change in value is favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates or foreign exchange rates relative to their terms. The fair values of the Group's and the Bank's derivative instruments are estimated by reference to quoted market prices. Internal models are used where no market price is available.
