Investor Profile Conservative to moderate risk-reward temperament Preference for receiving regular income and a respectable measure of capital growth Medium to long-term investor Malaysian Market Market Review The year began with the global financial markets deep in crisis as the collapse of Lehman Brothers in October 2008 froze capital flows and threatened to push the global economies to their worst recession. The threat of domestic recession slowed down capital flows, dampening the currency and foreign direct investment. As a result, fund flows went into the safe haven government debt markets. In addition, to pre-empt a deep contraction in the Malaysian economy, and reflecting the general direction of global interest rates, Bank Negara Malaysia s policy makers went on a rate cutting course, reducing the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) from 3.50% in November 2008 to 2.00% before the end of 1Q09. The Ringgit bond market started off with strong gains, aided by safe haven flows. However, even before the end of the first quarter of 2009, supply concerns came into play as the government projected to raise fiscal spending. 67 billion worth of fiscal stimulus packages were announced. Selling pressure was initially focused along the longer-end of the yield curve as the original auction calendar had more offerings with longer duration. The unveiling of the revised calendar after the announcement of the second stimulus package resulted in selling pressure to also affect the bellies of the yield curve as the new calendar saw high frequency for medium tenured bond auctions. There were more gains from holding corporate bonds in 2009, with an average monthly gain of 0.68% during Jan-Nov 09 (+0.21% returns in Jan-Nov 08). However, the PDS segment froze up during most of 2009, reflecting the sluggish economy and business environment. Nonetheless issuances gained traction towards 2H09, bringing total Corporate bond issuances as at end November 2009 to 50 billion, compared with 48.7 billion during the whole of Market Outlook and Strategy We expect market volatility to ease in However, the majority of central banks around the world are currently at the tail-end of their accommodative monetary cycle. Therefore, there is a risk of a potential interest rate up-cycle as inflationary pressure kicks in especially towards the second half of the year. Given that economic recovery and inflation outlook are still subdued, there is little impetus for BNM to raise the OPR in the first quarter of the year. On the supply front, we can expect smaller MGS/GII supply due to the narrower budget deficit of 5.6% of GDP in 2010, down from 7.4% of GDP in Domestic financing may reach 60 billion in 2010 (93 billion in 2009). For the corporate bond market, the primary 2 s Objectives 3

5 Market Review, Outlook and Strategy bond offerings is expected to remain buoyant as the recovery in the economy picks up pace. Issuers could take advantage of the small window of opportunity before interest rates potentially rise in 2H10. We will be selective in investing in short dated high-grade bonds/ sukuk to avoid the volatility in the market. Stock Markets Review Malaysia Market Bursa Malaysia Securities Despite underperforming most of its regional peers, 2009 has been a spectacular year for the Malaysian equity market. The FBM KLCI benchmark chalked up a 45.2% and this is not surprising given the first year of a recovery following a sharp downturn in the global economic cycle. After hitting a low of on 12 March 2009, the FBM KLCI benchmark started to rebound and trend up on account of rising optimism that the global economic contraction has passed its worst and will gradually head towards recovery in the quarters ahead. This was in tandem with global equities, which rallied as investors were cheered by a spate of betterthan-expected economic readings around the globe, particularly the US and China. Apart from intermittent profit-taking activities, the market was generally on an uptrend as there was growing consensus that the worst global economic contraction was over. Confidence improved further as the FBM KLCI benchmark shot past the psychological important 1,000-mark on 4 May More significant profit-taking activities emerged only after mid-june and the local bourse went into a consolidation mode until mid-july on account of a more challenging external environment. The market, however, regained its upward trajectory after that as investors were cheered by a series of positive news flow, including better-than-expected US corporate earnings reports and more upbeat 2Q09 GDP numbers. Investor confidence was bolstered by improving outlook of the US economy, which contracted by a much smaller annualised rate of 1.0% in the 2Q, from a revised 6.4% contraction recorded in the 1Q. Similarly, Japan emerged from a year-long recession as its GDP grew at an annualised pace of 3.7% in the 2Q, after shrinking a revised 11.7% in the 1Q. The local benchmark rose to a new high of 1, on 14 August. Subsequently, the market succumbed to more significant profit-taking activities as there were growing concerns that some of the bank lending in China have gone into non-productive sectors, such as speculative asset purchases. The market, however, came back after a breather, partly caused by extremely low interest rates globally, high liquidity and the trend of a weakening dollar, despite ongoing concerns over the strength of the global economic recovery. The FBM KLCI benchmark breached the important psychological 1,200-mark on 8 September and closed at 1, points on 31 December. For the whole year of 2009, the top performing sector was rubber glove sector, followed by banking and finance sector, which is the best proxy to any economic recovery, plantation and property. In contrast, the telecommunications & technology, industrial, consumer, services &trading, construction and industrial products underperformed the FBM KLCI benchmark. Market Outlook and Strategy The year 2010 has indeed kicked off to a strong start. However, the optimism was short lived as the rally was dampened by tightening policies in China as well as strengthening of US dollar. While we do not expect such strong returns to continue throughout the year, we do hold the view that 2010 will continue to deliver positive returns, although on a much smaller magnitude compared to An observation of past returns indicate that during the first year of recovery, i.e, 2009 in this case, returns have traditionally been the best but Asian markets continue to deliver positive returns in the second year of recovery. Going into 2010, we expect the upside to equity markets to be driven by earnings growth of about 26% - 30%. The average return of the MXASJ Index during the first year of recovery has been 42% and that has been followed with returns of 19% in the second year of recovery. The 68% rise witnessed during 2009 was not exceptionally high, especially given the 54% drop in 2008, and hence a continued recovery into 2010 can be expected, especially given an environment where there is ample liquidity, a recovery in corporate earnings, a continuation of fiscal stimulus programmes, and relatively strong fiscal balances across Asian countries. Fears that bubbles are forming in Asian equity markets are valid as they do eventually occur but an observation of past trends indicate that Asian markets are far from hitting levels at which investors should be worried. Hence, for 2010, a decent low teens return for investors would not translate to levels where investors should worry about equity bubbles forming in Apart from a recovery in earnings growth, markets will likely be held up by announcements of the economic recovery broadening out both in Asia as well as in developed countries like the U.S. In the US, recent economic releases indicate that the recovery appears to be broadening to housing, capex and consumption. The Case-Shiller Index of house prices has risen for the last 5 consecutive months while US non-financial corporate cashflows as a percentage of GDP of about 3.5% is at the highest levels since the 1950s. Although uneven, retail sales (excluding the cash for clunkers programme) have been up for the last 5 out 4 Market Review, Outlook and Strategy 5

Concerns about asset bubbles and rising interest rates are valid but raising rates from these low absolute levels of interest rates should not give rise to any alarm. Indeed, Asian policy makers are expected to raise interest rates earlier than in the US or Europe given the speed of the economic recovery here and well as the rise in asset price. However, policy makers raising interest rates at this juncture are akin to drivers lifting their foot off the accelerator of a car as opposed to stepping on the brakes to stop the car. Given such an environment, the year 2010 will be a year for stock picking. Countries that continue to offer value include Korea, Thailand and the Philippines while sectors that we favour include early cyclicals like commodities, technology and financials for the play in economic recovery, oil & gas for the exposure to rising spending in this sector, infrastructure and building materials that benefit from the fiscal stimulus programmes of the various countries. We would also focus on stocks that offer value and Thailand, India and China would be countries that allows for selective stock picking.

Deferred tax is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed to assets and liabilities for tax purpose and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised. 38 Notes to Financial Statements 39
