Chairman s Message: On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure in presenting you the Group s Annual Report for the financial year ended 28 February. Against the backdrop of a competitive operating environment, the Group has turned in a satisfactory report card with marked improvement in performance in most business segments compared to the year before. While we actively aligned our resources to achieve greater efficiencies and enhance our core competencies, our key priority continued to be the execution of our growth strategies. Our four drivers of growth remain pivotal in our push forward: local automotive market penetration, overseas automotive market expansion, automotive Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) market development, and expansion into the non-automotive market sector. While extending our reach into the region, we have maintained our leadership position in our key markets. As market sentiments continue to improve, the Group has emerged stronger and well-positioned to benefit from the economic upturn. The recent trend of leading auto-makers moving production facilities to the region s developing economies such as Malaysia and Thailand augurs well for the Group. In tandem with this trend, the Group has strategically located its operations in close proximity with these markets in order to more efficiently cater to the needs of its customers. In response to the increased demand from these markets for automotive parts, accessories, leather wrappings and interior parts, the Group has ramped up production in all its business segments. High quality products that meet stringent environmental, health and safety standards, coupled with competitive pricing, attentive service and timely delivery, has placed Jackspeed in a position of market leadership. Today, Jackspeed is an established brandname synonymous with premium quality leather interior products for the automotive, aviation and marine industries. We create customised automotive leather trim designs using the most advanced production techniques. Our proven track record has garnered us strong brand equity, continues to boost sales and supports our marketing efforts and growth strategies.

Jackspeed Corporation Limited Annual Report Chairman s Message: FINANCIAL REVIEW In the year under review, the Group focused on growing the business and increasing our market share while sustaining strategic partnerships and strong client relationships. The targets we set in financial year ( FY ) were met in FY. The Group achieved a net profit of $2.47 million. This represents a 24.6% increase from last year s $1.98 million net profit. Our profit before income tax also rose by about $0.88 million or 33.5%, from $2.62 million in FY to $3.50 million in FY. The increase in profit is a direct result of the increase in Group revenue and our ability to manage increasing costs and operating expenses. Group Earnings per Share (EPS) increased from 1.82 cents in FY to 1.88 cents in FY while net asset value per share rose from 13.18 cents in FY to 14.17 cents in FY. DIVIDENDS In line with the Group s improved earnings, the Board is pleased to recommend a final gross dividend of 0.6 cent per share to be approved at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. This is in addition to the interim gross dividend of 0.3 cent per share announced in October, bringing a total dividend yield of about 4%. POSITIVE OUTLOOK In the year under review, we have made significant inroads in exploring new markets and opportunities with the aim of expanding into the region s high potential markets and eventually extending our reach into the global arena. Our foray into the European market has yielded positive results. In the current year, we will continue to capitalise on the growth of this market by expanding our operations, seeking further business development and growing the market share of our distributors. In the region s markets of Malaysia and Thailand, sentiments continue to improve and the general economy is on an upturn. Capitalising on this trend, the Group will focus on the OEM markets to serve the robust automotive industry. Generally, the Group aims to aggressively increase its order books in all segments of its businesses in order to achieve optimum utilisation of its increased production capacity. The Group is committed to creating long-term sustainable and valuable returns for our stakeholders by developing and refining our growth strategies, prudent cost management and meeting the challenges of our operating environments. In the current year, we will continue to align our resources to more efficiently achieve our growth targets while maintaining a high standard of corporate governance. While we hone our ability to anticipate market trends and needs, we will continue with our efforts to be innovative and creative in our products and services.

Jackspeed Corporation Limited Annual Report Drive: Performance 7

Operations Review: Developments for the Group in FY have been significant and are consistent with our growth strategies. DISTRIBUTOR SEGMENT Group turnover rose by 22% or $5.88 million to reach $32.82 million in FY as compared to $26.94 million in FY. The distributor segment remained the Group s largest revenue provider. This market segment recorded an increase of 5.1% from $20.49 million in FY to $21.53 million in FY, contributing approximately 65% of total Group revenue. A majority of our distributor segment revenue came from our European operations where sales from the European market grew by more than 40%, from $9.88 million in FY to $13.91 million in FY. The increasing lifestyle preference in Europe for car leather seats over fabric-covered car seats has contributed to the segment s improved performance. Distributors in Europe have noted that by partnering Jackspeed, they can effectively respond to the growing clientele demand for custom-made car leather trims. Singapore, on the other hand, experienced a decline in revenue, from $10.83 million in FY to $8.26 million in FY, nevertheless, still remaining profitable. RISING OEM SEGMENT The OEM segment was the Group s second largest revenue contributor. It achieved sales of $8.42 million in FY compared to $3.53 million in FY, recording the highest sales growth of 138.5%. The growth in our OEM segment is credited to the improved operations of our Malaysian subsidiary with turnover increasing from $3.84 million in FY to $5.47 million in FY. During the financial year, we bagged a three-year RM 55 million contract from Naza Automotive Manufacturing Sdn Bhd ( NAM ). Under this contract, we will provide leather trims for NAM s new Multi-Purpose Vehicle ( MPV ) projects for three years starting in November. Securing the contract will boost Group sales in Malaysia as NAM is the only car manufacturer that produces MPVs which are gaining popularity in the country. In FY, we acquired and managed 100% of our Thailand subsidiary. Hence, this year s results also took into account the full contributions of the fast growing Thailand OEM segment as compared to last year. NON-AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR Since the Group established Jackspeed Aviation and Marine in May 2003, we have completed a number of refurbishment projects for corporate and private aircrafts. Our non-automotive segment increased by $0.15 million from $0.24 million in FY to $0.39 million in FY. In the year under review, the Group was granted ISO9001:2000 Aviation Certification. This internationally recognised certification, coupled with our existing Approved Vendor and Preferred Partner status with ST Aerospace Engineering Pte Ltd, Hawker Pacific Asia Pte Ltd and AirAsia Berhad, will help us gain more contracts from the aviation industry players. At present, the aviation industry is undergoing expansion with burgeoning budget airlines in Southeast Asia. We believe this latest development will provide the Group with more opportunities to offer our premium quality products and services to the aviation industry. PRODUCTION FACILITY FY also marked the completion of our new production facility in Gurun, Kedah, Malaysia. Setting up the production is our response to the growth potential of the OEM markets in the region. The facility, which was completed in the fourth quarter of, is expected to increase our already doubled production capacity by more than 30%. HEALTHY CASH FLOW The Group s cash flow position improved with the current ratio up from 2.6 to 2.7 times. Cash flow is healthy, with $3.3 million in net cash flow from operating activities in FY. This is a significant increase from last year s $1.5 million. The improved performance is attributed to better operating profits, a shorter trade cycle, lower interest cost and the absence of associate losses. As a result of our Group s improved cash flow this year, we were able to reduce our bank borrowings from $6.00 million in FY to $2.82 million in FY. The Group is well-positioned to take on the challenges of our operating environment and continue to deliver quality products and total customer satisfaction that will generate positive returns for all our stakeholders, business associates and employees. In the current year, we will ensure that our product innovation and technology growth map will focus on meeting the market s ever-changing demands and needs. 8
