into a Comprehensive Agreement with Samrand, MSA and Samitra to acquire<br />
from Samrand, 400 shares of Rand1.00 each representing 40% of the issued<br />
and paid-up share capital of Samitra for a cash consideration of<br />
Rand30,000,000 or approximately RM15,372,000. GPIL currently owns 60%<br />
equity interest in Samitra (“Proposed GPIL Acquisition”); and<br />
ii) MSA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MHB, had entered into the<br />

OLIEVENHOUTBOSCH No. 389, Registration Division JR, Province of<br />
Gauteng in the State City of Centurion, South Africa for a total cash<br />
consideration of Rand11,400,000 or approximately RM5,841,360 (“Proposed<br />
MSA Acquisition”). Portion 2 of the farm OLIEVENHOUTBOSCH No. 389 is<br />
a master title for a total land area of 707.56 hectares. Portion 251 and<br />
Portion 252 has been subdivided out from this master title of Portion 2 and<br />
it is commonly described as “a portion of Portion 2”.
1.2 In view of the interest of Dato’ Samsudin bin Abu Hassan as mentioned in Section 7<br />
below, the Proposed Acquisitions are considered a related party transaction falling<br />
within the ambit of Chapter 20 of the Securities Commission’s Policies and<br />

Hilton, No. 2, Jalan Barat, 46200 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan on 3 May<br />
2001 at 10.30 am or any adjournment thereof.<br />
SHAREHOLDERS OF MHB ARE ADVISED TO READ THE CONTENTS OF BOTH<br />
PART A AND PART B OF THIS CIRCULAR CAREFULLY BEFORE VOTING ON<br />
THE ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS PERTAINING TO THE PROPOSED<br />
ACQUISITIONS<br />
2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
2.1 Proposed Purchase by GPIL of balance of 40% equity interest in Samitra from<br />
Samrand ("Proposed GPIL Acquisition")<br />
On 15 January 2001, GPIL entered into a Comprehensive Agreement to acquire from<br />
Samrand, 400 shares of Rand1.00 each representing 40% of the issued and paid-up<br />
share capital of Samitra for a cash consideration of Rand30,000,000 or<br />
approximately RM15,372,000. The balance 600 shares of Rand1.00 each<br />
representing 60% of the issued and paid-up share capital of Samitra is currently held<br />
by GPIL. Following completion of this Proposed GPIL Acquisition, Samitra will<br />
become a wholly–owned subsidiary of GPIL.<br />
The Proposed GPIL Acquisition is not conditional on the Proposed MSA<br />
Acquisition.<br />
2.1.1 Information on Samitra<br />
Samitra was incorporated in South Africa as a private limited company on 11<br />
September 1998. Its present authorised share capital is Rand1,010 comprising of<br />
1,000 ordinary shares of Rand1.00 each of which 1,000 shares have been issued and<br />
fully paid and 1,000 redeemable preference shares of Rand0.01each of which 100<br />
redeemable preference shares have been issued and fully paid. The principal activity<br />
of Samitra is that of property development.<br />
The current development project of Samitra is the Samrand Golf and Country Estate<br />
located on several pieces of prime freehold land with a combined area of<br />
approximately 238 hectares located in the State City of Centurion, South Africa and<br />
just 20 minutes drive from the city of Johannesburg. The Samrand Golf and Country<br />
Estate is strategically located within a thriving commercial belt between<br />
Johannesburg and Pretoria.<br />
2
This prestigious mixed development consist of a residential golf estate with an 18hole<br />
Gary Player–designed international competition standard golf course,<br />
approximately 1,200 units of bungalow lots and 18-hole golf course and resort. The<br />
first 9-hole of the golf course has been playable since June 1999, whereas<br />
construction of the second 9-hole is completed and expected to be playable by April<br />
2001. The Samrand Golf and Country Estate was launched in mid-1999 and to-date<br />
has raked in sales value of Rand40,000,000 from up to-date sales of Residential 1<br />
Stands (bungalow lots). Construction of the golf course and infrastructure works is<br />
fully managed and undertaken by MSA. The remaining infrastructure works are<br />
expected to be complete by end of 2001.<br />
The Samrand Golf and Country Estate mixed development involves the sale of a total<br />
of approximately 672 Residential 1 Stands (bungalow lots). Sales of Phase 1<br />
involving 117 Residential 1 Stands was launched in June 1999 and it is fully sold.<br />
Subsequently, sales on Phase 2 involving 134 Stands was launched in June 2000 and<br />
68 Stands have been sold to-date representing 51% sales on Phase 2. Total sales from<br />
Phase 1 and Phase 2 achieved to-date is 185 Stands which constitutes 28% of total<br />
Residential 1 Stands available for sale. Phase 3 Sales consisting of 202 Residential 1<br />
Stands will be launched in 2001 / 2002 whereas balance of 216 Residential 1 Stands<br />
will be launched in Year 2002 / 2003. The development also involves sales on<br />
Residential 2 and 31 Business 4 Stands (business and office buildings lots) over the<br />
period from 2003 to 2005.<br />
Total sales revenue expected is approximately Rand351,900,000 against a total<br />
estimated development costs of Rand174,300,000 which cover all of the entire<br />
development i.e. Residential 1 and 2 and Business 4 Stands.<br />
Remaining infrastructure works expected to be completed by end 2001 are for the<br />
provision of internal civil infrastructure services to the remaining development<br />
covering roads, water supply, sewer, stormwater, telephone and electrical services.<br />
Total estimated cost is Rand20,000,000. The percentage of completion for the<br />
development to-date is 50%.<br />
2.1.2 Basis of determining the purchase consideration<br />
The purchase consideration of Rand30,000,000 for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition<br />
was negotiated on a willing buyer-willing seller basis after taking into consideration<br />
the potential earnings of Samitra. MHB has commissioned a local independent<br />
registered valuer, Henry Butcher, Lim and Long Sdn Bhd to carry out a valuation on<br />
the development property of Samitra. In their valuation report dated 28 February<br />
2000 enclosed in Appendix IV, Henry Butcher, Lim and Long Sdn Bhd have stated<br />
that the market value of the development property of Samitra to be Rand95,600,000<br />
comprising Rand2,400,000 for the 18-hole golf course and Rand93,200,000 for the<br />
unsold vacant stands on the Samrand Golf and Country Estate. Henry Butcher, Lim<br />
& Long Sdn Bhd have also valued the ten completed showhouses which have been<br />
sold off at Rand11,920,000. The value of the completed showhouses is not taken into<br />
consideration in MHB’s basis of determining the purchase consideration. Henry<br />
Butcher, Lim & Long Sdn Bhd have adopted the “Comparison Method” and<br />
“Discounted Cashflow Approach (known as Development Approach)” of valuation.<br />
40% of this valuation is Rand38,240,000.<br />
The initial investment in Samitra by Samrand was on 18 July 1999 and the original<br />
cost of investment was Rand10,920,437 and does not represent Samrand’s 40%<br />
interest in Samitra as Samrand only holds 400 shares in Samitra and had subscribed<br />
for the shares at Rand1.00 each.<br />
3
2.1.3 Terms of the Proposed GPIL Acquisition<br />
A sum of Rand1,000,000 has been paid by GPIL to Samrand upon execution of the<br />
Memorandum of Agreement. GPIL has paid Samrand another Rand1,800,000 on 31<br />
January 2001.<br />
Samrand is indebted to Samitra for the amount of Rand4,400,000 and as partial<br />
discharge of the purchase consideration, GPIL has paid Samrand’s debt of<br />
Rand4,400,000 directly to Samitra, on behalf of Samrand, on the date of the<br />
execution of the Comprehensive Agreement. The payment of this debt will then be<br />
set-off against the balance purchase price.<br />
The balance of Rand22,800,000 will be paid on completion, i.e. 30 April 2001 or at a<br />
later date as mutually agreed.<br />
There will be no liabilities to be assumed by GPIL or MHB other than the payment<br />
of the purchase consideration.<br />
2.1.4 Rationale for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition<br />
The Proposed GPIL Acquisition will increase MHB’s effective interest in Samitra<br />
from 60% to 100%. The Directors are of the opinion that the increase in the effective<br />
interest in Samitra will be beneficial to the Group for the following reasons:–<br />
(i) The Proposed GPIL Acquisition will enable MHB to procure full control of<br />
Samitra on the implementation of the development plans of the residential golf<br />
estate.<br />
(ii) The consolidation of interest in Samitra through the Proposed GPIL<br />
Acquisition will also accord the MHB Group with higher accretion of<br />
earnings.<br />
(iii) In addition to the enhancement of earnings and the profits being retained<br />
within the MHB Group, the cash resources from the Samitra project can<br />
also be utilised to fund other operations of the MHB Group in South Africa.<br />
(iv) Currently, the Samitra project is financed by the MHB Group through inter–<br />
company loans. It is therefore financially meaningful for MHB to acquire a<br />
higher stake in order to enjoy a larger share of the profits of the project.<br />
2.2 Proposed Purchase by MSA of two pieces of freehold property from Samrand<br />
("Proposed MSA Acquisition")<br />
On 15 January 2001, MSA entered into a Comprehensive Agreement together with a<br />
Deed of Sale with Samrand to acquire two pieces of freehold property known as<br />
Portion 251 and Portion 252 (a portion of Portion 2) of the farm<br />
OLIEVENHOUTBOSCH No. 389, Registration Division JR, Province of Gauteng in<br />
the State City of Centurion, South Africa ("the freehold property") for a total<br />
purchase consideration of Rand11,400,000 or approximately RM5,841,360 to be<br />
satisfied by cash payment. The freehold property covers approximately 62.49<br />
hectares farmland adjoining the western boundary of the prestigious Samrand Golf<br />
and Country Estate development. The freehold property will be acquired free from<br />
charges and encumbrances on a "as is where is" basis and with vacant possession.<br />
Portion 2 of the farm OLIEVENHOUTBOSCH No. 389 is a master title for a total<br />
land area of 707.56 hectares. Portion 251 and Portion 252 has been subdivided out<br />
from this master title of Portion 2 and it is commonly described as “a portion of<br />
Portion 2”.<br />
4
The Proposed MSA Acquisition will be conditional upon the conclusion of the<br />
Proposed GPIL Acquisition.<br />
2.2.1 Information on the freehold property<br />
The freehold property with an acreage of 62.49 hectares vacant farmland is adjoining<br />
the Samrand Golf and Country Estate currently developed by Samitra.<br />
The freehold property is enclosed within the Samrand Golf and Country Estate<br />
surrounded by an eight kilometres electrified security fencing which has been<br />
constructed at a cost of Rand4,000,000. The freehold property is overlooking and<br />
form part of the Samrand Golf and Country Estate. The development on this property<br />
is in the early stage of planning and total estimated development cost is<br />
Rand65,000,000.<br />
The development of this freehold property will be an extension of the existing<br />
Samrand Golf and Country Estate mixed development.<br />
It is proposed that the development of the freehold property together with the<br />
Samrand Golf and Country Estate be based on creating a high standard secured<br />
suburban in Johannesburg. Accordingly, based on preliminary plans, the proposed<br />
comprehensive mixed development would include approximately 400 bungalow lots<br />
with expected sales value of Rand141,050,000.<br />
2.2.2 Basis of determining the purchase consideration<br />
The purchase consideration of Rand11,400,000 works out the land cost to be<br />
Rand18.0 per square metre (psm) or approximately RM8.90 psm. The purchase<br />
consideration was arrived at on a willing buyer-willing seller basis after taking into<br />
account the development potential and strategic location of the freehold property and<br />
the current transacting price of neighbouring farmland which is going at about the<br />
same rate.<br />
A valuation was procured by MSA on the freehold property and was conducted by a<br />
South African property valuer, Mills Fitchet. The open market value of the freehold<br />
property according to the valuation report dated 31 December 2000 is<br />
Rand11,700,000.<br />
MHB also commissioned Henry Butcher, Lim & Long Sdn Bhd, an independent<br />
registered valuer to conduct a valuation on the freehold property and the latter’s<br />
report on 28 February 2001 as enclosed in Appendix IV indicates the same market<br />
value of Rand11,700,000. Henry Butcher, Lim & Long Sdn Bhd have adopted the<br />
“Comparison Method” and “Discounted Cashflow Approach (known as<br />
Development Approach)” of valuation.<br />
Samrand initially acquired the freehold property on 9 February 1996 and the original<br />
cost of investment to Samrand was Rand5,207,000.<br />
2.2.3 Terms of the Proposed MSA Acquisition<br />
A sum of Rand1,000,000 has been paid to Samrand upon execution of the<br />
Memorandum of Agreement. Another sum of Rand1,800,000 has been paid on 31<br />
January 2001.<br />
There is currently a bond registered in favour of ABSA Bank Ltd over the freehold<br />
property. As partial payment of the purchase consideration, MSA will pay<br />
Rand5,700,000 in favour of ABSA Bank Ltd for the release of the freehold property<br />
5
in the name of MSA to be registered in the Deeds office at Pretoria. This amount will<br />
then be set off against the balance of the purchase price for the freehold property.<br />
The balance of Rand2,900,000 payable on the purchase price will be paid by MSA to<br />
Samrand on the date of registration of the freehold property in the name of MSA.<br />
There will be no liabilities to be assumed by MSA or MHB other than the<br />
payment of the purchase consideration.<br />
2.2.4 Rationale for the Proposed MSA Acquisition<br />
The Proposed MSA Acquisition provides an opportunity for the MHB Group to have<br />
a relatively large piece of freehold land in Johannesburg with good potential for<br />
residential and commercial development. It enables the MHB Group to build up<br />
further, significantly, its land bank in a strategic location to ensure a substantial<br />
steady sourced income from its property development activities in South Africa<br />
in the long term.<br />
Tapping on the existing completed infrastructure of the adjoining development of the<br />
Samrand Golf and Country Estate would allow the development of the freehold<br />
property to progress much faster. In addition to this, the saleable area ratio would be<br />
higher as it can form part of the residential golf estate without having to alienate<br />
further land for public amenities and recreational facilities. The pricing of the<br />
products to be launched is also expected to be at higher rates taking into account the<br />
already proven and established Samrand Golf and Country Estate.<br />
3. INVESTMENT RISK CONSIDERATIONS<br />
Shareholders should carefully consider, in addition to other information contained herein, the<br />
following information (which may not be exhaustive) before voting on the Ordinary<br />
Resolutions pertaining to the Proposed Acquisitions:<br />
3.1 Political, Social and Economic Considerations<br />
The future growth and continued success of Samitra and MSA in South Africa are<br />
subject to risks that are linked to any developments in political, social and economic<br />
conditions where the MHB Group's current overseas operations are substantially in.<br />
Although it is notable that Samitra and MSA recorded profitability during the<br />
last two years, no assurance is given that any changes in the political, social and<br />
economic conditions in South Africa will not have any adverse impact on the<br />
property development business of Samitra and MSA.<br />
3.2 Business Risks<br />
The MHB Group’s investment in South Africa is subject to the risks inherent in<br />
property development industry. These include, inter alia, supply of labour and<br />
building materials, changes in labour and building materials costs, changes in<br />
general economic, business and credit conditions, demand for residential,<br />
commercial and industrial properties and changes in the legal and environmental<br />
framework within which this industry operates. These business risks implicit in<br />
all commercial activities and changes to these factors will definitely have<br />
implications to the Group’s operations. However, MHB being an established<br />
company with proactive management, is well positioned to successfully manage<br />
these business risks in the ever changing business environment.<br />
6
Furthermore, the MHB Group having been in operations in South Africa for the last<br />
two and a half years, has a better understanding of the business environment<br />
there and is able to adapt to any changes in which it operates.<br />
3.3 Competition<br />
The Samrand Golf and Country Estate is located in a strategic metropolitan area and<br />
the added feature of a golf course as part of the residential estate enhances the value<br />
of the properties in this area. At present, there are no keen competition from existing<br />
developer and contractor in this region. However, the potential of the property<br />
development and construction industry in this region may attract new players into the<br />
market. Nonetheless, Samitra and MSA are confident of its location as mentioned<br />
earlier and expect that its product launches will be well received. This is further<br />
augmented by the fact that the Samitra Golf and Country Estate is a fast maturing<br />
township and its development is way ahead of other developments in the vicinity.<br />
While the property development and construction industry are currently going<br />
through a period of rapid expansion, resulting in some price softening, these trends<br />
should not be detrimental to the industry. It is important to note that demand for<br />
residential and commercial units continues to grow.<br />
3.4 Foreign Exchange Risk<br />
As a significant part of the Samitra and MSA's business are conducted in a foreign<br />
currency, any fluctuation in relation to the Malaysian Ringgit will have an effect on<br />
the MHB Group's share of Samitra and MSA's results. No assurance is given that any<br />
change in the foreign currency exchange rates will not have an adverse effect on the<br />
MHB Group's share of Samitra and MSA's results.<br />
3.5 Dependence on Key Personnel<br />
The continued success of Samitra and MSA is highly dependent upon the<br />
abilities and continued efforts of its existing directors and senior management. The<br />
future success of Samitra and MSA will also depend upon their ability to attract and<br />
retain skilled personnel for their expansion programme.<br />
3.6 Forward-Looking Statements<br />
Certain statements in this announcement are forward-looking statements. Such<br />
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve<br />
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the<br />
actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from future results,<br />
performance or achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking<br />
statements. Such factors include general economic and business conditions, changes<br />
in property development and construction industry competition and other factors.<br />
3.7 Policies on foreign investments and repatriation of profits in South Africa<br />
(i) Policies on foreign investment<br />
There are no restrictions on foreign investments in companies incorporated in<br />
South Africa. All capital introduced into South Africa may be repatriated at any<br />
time.<br />
(ii) Policies on repatriation of profits<br />
There are no restrictions in South Africa on the payment of dividends or profits<br />
after applicable tax deductions are made.<br />

4. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND FUTURE PROSPECTS<br />
The Republic of South Africa has the strongest economy in Africa. Approximately 75% of<br />
South Africa’s economic activity takes place in its four primary metropolitan areas, which<br />
together represent about 3% of the total land area of the country. These metropolitan areas<br />
are Gauteng, surrounding Johannesburg; the Durban-Pinetown area in KwaZulu-Natal; the<br />
Cape Peninsula; and the Port Elizabeth-Uitenhage area in the Eastern Cape. Gauteng, where<br />
most of South Africa’s gold mines are situated, is the financial and industrial centre of the<br />
country and accounts for 37% of all economic activity. Construction is one of the essential<br />
industries in South Africa.<br />

As quoted by ABSA Bank on the review for the third quarter 2000, despite various<br />
macroeconomic factors that negatively influenced the position of the consumers in the third<br />
quarter of 2000, house prices have still increased strongly for year 2000 as compared to<br />
1999. The average price of a house came to some Rand272,000 in the third quarter of year<br />
2000. This represents a year-on-year increase of 19.1% in nominal terms and 11.8% in real<br />
terms. These are the biggest price increases since the first half of 1998, just before the effect<br />
of the Asian financial crisis hit South Africa.<br />
It is expected that inflation rate will move upwards in 2001, mainly due to the result of the<br />
impact of the notably weaker exchange rate compared with the beginning of year 2000,<br />
higher fuel prices, as well as an increase in domestic demand, which will lead to a higher<br />
growth in credit extension. Consistent with the increase in inflation rate, the lending rates<br />
will rise further in the second quarter of 2001 in view of the economic prospects. Taking into<br />
account the already strong price increases in the first three quarters of 2000, it is<br />
foreseen that house prices will increase by approximately 16.0% in nominal terms and by<br />
about 10.0% in real terms this year as a whole.<br />

Montagu Property Group, Africa’s foremost marketer of residential townships and golf<br />
course estates, which is currently marketing 6 security developments across Gauteng which<br />
includes Samrand Golf and Country Estate, expressed that the current market in residential<br />
property is the strongest for the past 10 years.<br />
Montagu Property Group has achieved 200 sales at the Samrand Golf and Country Estate<br />
since the launch. As purchasers are often reluctant to purchase in a development in its<br />
infancy stage, Samitra’s initial success can be attributed to the wonderful location of the<br />
project, halfway between the 2 major cities on the reef, Johannesburg and Pretoria.<br />
In the next three to five years, the residential sector of the property market will perform the<br />
best of the entire property spectrum, a view expressed by the Head of Standard Bank<br />
Properties.<br />

shareholders of MHB with an independent evaluation, from the financial point of<br />
view, of the terms and conditions of the Proposed Acquisitions, and HMP’s<br />

2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
2.1 Details of the Proposed GPIL Acquisition<br />
Samitra is a property development company incorporated in South Africa with an<br />
authorised share capital of Rand1,010 comprising 1,000 ordinary shares of<br />
Rand1.00 each and 1,000 redeemable preference shares of Rand0.01 each, all of<br />
which have been issued and fully paid.<br />
The purchase consideration Rand30,000,000 has been arrived at on a willing<br />
buyer-willing seller basis after taking into consideration the potential earnings of<br />
Samitra. Upon execution of the Memorandum of Agreement, GPIL has paid<br />
Samrand Rand1,000,000 and another Rand1,800,000 on 31 January 2001. On the<br />
date of execution of the Comprehensive Agreement, GPIL has paid to Samitra an<br />
amount of Rand4,400,000 as partial discharge of the amount owing by Samrand to<br />
Samitra. This amount will be set-off against the balance of the purchase<br />
consideration. The balance of Rand22,800,000 will be paid on completion.<br />
Based on the audited financial statements of Samitra for the financial year ended<br />
31 December 2000, the financial position of Samitra is as follows:-<br />

The current development project undertaken by Samitra comprises the Samrand<br />
Golf and Country Estate which resides on several pieces of freehold land with a<br />
combined area of approximately 238 hectares located in the State City of<br />
Centurion, South Africa. Further description of the development project is set out<br />
in Section 2.1.1 of Part A of the Circular to Shareholders.<br />

2.2 Details of the Proposed MSA Acquisition<br />
The freehold property to be acquired constitutes 62.49 hectares of vacant farmland<br />
which adjoins the Samrand Golf and Country Estate currently developed by<br />
Samitra. The purchase consideration of Rand11,400,000 was arrived at on a<br />
willing buyer-willing seller basis after taking into account the potential<br />
development of the land, its strategic location and the current transacting price of<br />
neighbouring farmland.

of Mitrajaya Holdings Berhad<br />
3. CONDITIONS TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
The Proposed Acquisitions are subject to the following approvals:-<br />
(i) the shareholders of MHB at an EGM to be convened;<br />
(ii) the shareholders of Samrand; and<br />
(iii) the approval of any other relevant authorities.<br />
4. EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
HMP has been appointed by the Independent Directors of MHB to provide the<br />
shareholders of MHB with a fairness opinion, from a financial point of view, of<br />
the terms and conditions of the above mentioned Proposed Acquisitions. HMP<br />
was not involved in any negotiations on the terms and conditions of the Proposed<br />
Acquisitions.<br />
In rendering our opinion, we have reviewed the business and financial information on<br />
MHB and Samitra. We have discussed the said information with the senior<br />
management of MHB.<br />
In our review and analysis in formulating our opinion, we have relied upon the<br />
reasonableness, accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information<br />
on MHB and Samitra provided to us by MHB and also the valuation report on the<br />
landed properties of Samitra and the freehold property to be acquired by MSA by<br />
Henry Butcher, Lim & Long Sdn. Bhd dated 28 February 2001 (hereinafter<br />
referred to as the “Valuation Report”). We have further assumed that such<br />
information has been prepared in good faith and reflect the judgements and<br />
estimates of MHB’s management as of the date hereof and that the management<br />
of MHB are unaware of any facts that would make the financial information and<br />
other information provided to us incomplete, misleading or inaccurate. We have<br />
not assumed any responsibility for independent verification of, and express no<br />
opinion as to, any such information.<br />
Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial information prepared by MHB<br />
as set out in Appendix I and II of the Company’s Circular to Shareholders, and on<br />
the Valuation Report as enclosed in Appendix IV of the said Circular. Finally, we<br />
have assumed that the Proposed Acquisitions will be consummated based on the<br />
terms set forth in the Company’s Announcement to the KLSE without material<br />
modification.<br />
15
Independent Advice Letter to the Shareholders<br />
of Mitrajaya Holdings Berhad<br />
As Independent Adviser to the shareholders of MHB, our scope of evaluation in<br />
regard to the Proposed Acquisitions is confined only to the financial terms of the<br />
Proposed Acquisitions and the terms of settlement of the same, and not the merits<br />
or otherwise of the commercial decisions regarding the Proposed Acquisitions.<br />
In preparing this opinion, we have paid attention to those factors which we believe are<br />
of general importance to an assessment of the terms of the Proposed Acquisitions<br />
from a financial point of view and therefore of general concern to the general body of<br />
the shareholders. We are not in possession of information relating to, and have<br />
not given any consideration to, separate specific investment objectives, financial<br />
situation and particular needs of any individual shareholder or any group of<br />
shareholders. We recommend that any individual shareholder or any group of<br />
shareholders who may require advice in relation to the Proposed Subscription in<br />
the context of their individual objectives, financial situation and particular needs<br />
should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, or professional adviser.<br />
In evaluating the Proposed Subscription and the terms of settlement, we have paid<br />
particular attention to the following issues relating to the financial terms and<br />
effects of the proposed consideration and the terms of settlement:-<br />
• The objective of the Proposed Acquisitions;<br />
• Whether the consideration for each of the Proposed Acquisitions are fair<br />
and reasonable; and<br />
• The financial effects of the Proposed Acquisitions to MHB.<br />
4.1 RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
The rationale for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition and the Proposed MSA<br />
Acquisition as detailed in Sections 2.1.4 and 2.2.4, respectively of Part A of the<br />
Circular to Shareholders is to enable MHB to acquire full control over The<br />
Samrand Golf and Country Estate development (via the Proposed GPIL<br />
Acquisition) and to further capitalise on the aforesaid development through the<br />
acquisition of the freehold property (via the Proposed MSA Acquisition) which<br />
adjoins the development of the Samrand Golf and Country Estate. Synergies are<br />
expected to arise from the Proposed MSA Acquisition by way of increased<br />
saleable area of the freehold property as future developments on the said property<br />
can share common public amenities and recreational facilities which are already<br />
included in the current development.<br />
The Directors opine that the Samrand Golf and Country Estate and the freehold<br />
property are strategically located and would provide a stable source of income to<br />
be derived from residential and commercial development.<br />
16
Independent Advice Letter to the Shareholders<br />
of Mitrajaya Holdings Berhad<br />
4.2 BASIS OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
We note that the consideration for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition has been<br />
arrived at taking into consideration the potential earnings of Samitra whilst the<br />
consideration for the Proposed MSA Acquisition has been arrived at taking into<br />
account the current transacting price of neighbouring farmland.<br />
In respect of the acquisition of Samitra, we have evaluated the reasonableness of<br />
the consideration for the Proposed Acquisitions based on the Realisable Net Asset<br />
Value (“RNAV”) with principal reliance on the Valuation Report in our<br />
evaluation of the consideration for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition, as the<br />
principal basis of evaluation.<br />
In respect of the Proposed MSA Acquisition, we have relied solely on the<br />
Valuation Report.<br />
In view that Samitra is a development company with significant land bank, we are<br />
of the opinion that the most appropriate basis of evaluating the reasonableness of<br />
the consideration is by applying the RNAV model. In conjunction with our<br />
evaluation, we have also reviewed the basis of valuation used in the Valuation<br />
Report.<br />
Due consideration has also been given to the qualitative aspects of the Proposed<br />
Acquisitions.<br />
4.2.1 Realisable Net Asset Value Model<br />
As Samitra is a development company, the most appropriate method of valuation<br />
to be considered is the Realisable Net Asset Value (“RNAV”) model. This model<br />
involves estimating the revaluation reserve on the landed properties of Samitra<br />
and then imputing the estimated revaluation reserve on the NTA of the company<br />
to arrive at the RNAV. In applying the RNAV model we have principally relied<br />
on the Valuation Report.<br />
The market value of the landed properties of Samitra (including the freehold<br />
property to be acquired pursuant to the Proposed MSA Acquisition as extracted<br />
from the Valuation Report) is set out below:-<br />

The estimation of the revaluation reserve on landed properties of Samitra is<br />
derived as follows:-<br />

* Corporate tax rate of South Africa. The deferred tax has been provided for as the properties are<br />
expected to be sold in the foreseeable future.<br />
Note 1 : The ten (10) completed show-houses, separately registered on freehold stands have been<br />
excluded from the estimation of the revaluation reserve because, as represented by the<br />
management of Samitra, the ten (10) show-houses have been disposed of to a related<br />
company subsequent to the financial year end but before 8 February 2001 (the material<br />
date of valuation). The effect of the ten (10) completed show-houses on the valuation of<br />
Samitra is to the extent of profit recognised on sale of the same. The profit recognised on<br />
sale (after tax), based on the management accounts of Samitra for the financial period up<br />
to 8 February 2001, is approximately Rand1,260,000.<br />
Note 2 : The land cost as at 8 February 2001 is provided by the management of Samitra and based<br />
on representation by the same, the land cost for the 18-hole Gary Player designed golf<br />
course and the unsold vacant land has not been subject to any material change up to the<br />
date of the Valuation Report of 28 February 2001 (the material date of valuation of which<br />
was 8 February 2001).<br />
Note 3 : The Adjusted Audited NTA has been arrived at by deducting the Preference Share and<br />
the attributable Share Premium Reserve arising from the issue of preference share of<br />
Rand1 and Rand15,249,549 respectively, from the audited NTA of Samitra as the<br />
preference share was issued solely to GPIL, and hence the attributable Share Premium<br />
Reserve is not distributable to the minority shareholder.<br />
18
Independent Advice Letter to the Shareholders<br />
of Mitrajaya Holdings Berhad<br />
Based on the above analysis, the value of 40% equity interest in Samitra is<br />
estimated at Rand28,033,000 (about RM14,364,000). Hence, the consideration<br />
for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition of Rand30,000,000 (about RM15,372,000)<br />
represents a slight “premium” of approximately 7.0% over the RNAV of Samitra.<br />
Valuation of the freehold property to be acquired pursuant to the Proposed<br />
MSA Acquisition<br />
The above mentioned freehold property to be acquired has been included in the<br />
Valuation report and has been estimated at Rand11,700,000 (refer to Table A –<br />
Portions 251 & 252).<br />
4.2.2 Qualitative Aspects<br />
. In assessing the reasonableness of the consideration of the Proposed Acquisitions,<br />
due consideration should also be given to MHB Group’s business intentions in<br />
undertaking the Proposed Acquisitions.<br />
The Proposed GPIL Acquisition will render MHB Group full control of Samitra<br />
particularly in the aspects of implementation of development plans. Full control<br />
of Samitra would also lead to increased earnings to MHB Group. Further, the<br />
robust cash flows expected from the development project would strengthen<br />
the overall cash flow position of the Group.<br />
In view of the fact that the development project undertaken by Samitra is currently<br />
funded by the MHB Group, the acquisition of the remaining 40% equity interest<br />
by MHB would effectively retain the inter-company funds within the MHB<br />
Group.<br />
The Proposed MSA Acquisition would create synergies to MHB Group’s<br />
operations in South Africa mainly due to the reason that the freehold property,<br />
which comprises 62.49 hectares of vacant farmland adjoins the Samrand Golf and<br />
Country Estate currently being developed by Samitra. It is therefore reasonable to<br />
anticipate cost savings from the future commercial development of the freehold<br />
property as some infrastructure and public facilities which are already part of the<br />
current development project can be shared by future development projects on the<br />
freehold property to be acquired.<br />
Although the Proposed Acquisitions would be transacted in foreign currency<br />
(namely the South African Rand), the exposure of MHB Group to foreign<br />
exchange fluctuations in this respect is mitigated as the investments are based in<br />
South Africa and the business and returns from the investments would be<br />
denominated in the same foreign currency, hence creating a form of natural hedge<br />
on the investment.<br />

of Mitrajaya Holdings Berhad<br />
4.3 FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS<br />
We have considered the financial effects of the Proposed Acquisitions on the<br />
share capital, earnings and NTA of MHB Group as follows:-<br />
4.3.1 Share Capital<br />
The Proposed Acquisitions will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up<br />
share capital of MHB.<br />
4.3.2 Earnings<br />
4.3.3 NTA<br />

6. OTHER INFORMATION<br />
Other information relevant to our IAL are included as Appendices herewith.<br />
7. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION<br />
The matter in consideration by the shareholders of MHB which is the subject of<br />
this IAL is whether they should vote in favour of the Proposed Acquisitions.<br />
Our opinion, is formed principally based on the reasonableness of the<br />
consideration for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition and the Proposed MSA<br />
Acquisition. Based on our evaluation of the consideration for the Proposed GPIL<br />
Acquisition set out in Section 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 above, we noted that<br />
notwithstanding the slight premium of 7.0% payable over the minority interest in<br />
the RNAV of Samitra, the consideration for the Proposed GPIL Acquisition is not<br />
unreasonable based on the expected cash flows from the realisation of the<br />
development properties. The slight premium is also justifiable as MHB Group,<br />
after the Proposed GPIL Acquisition, would procure full control over the<br />
operations of Samitra. In respect of the Proposed MSA Acquisition, the<br />
consideration of Rand11,400,000 (RM5,841,360) closely approximates the market<br />
value reported in the Valuation Report of Rand11,700,000 (about RM5,995,000).<br />
We have also evaluated the reasonableness of the consideration for the Proposed<br />
Acquisitions giving due consideration to the qualitative aspects as detailed in<br />
Section 4.2.2 above and are of the opinion, that the qualitative benefits are<br />
realisable.<br />
On the assumption that MHB’s strategy for the acquisition is consummated, there<br />
would be potential for robust growth in results and cash flows of MHB Group.<br />
After taking into consideration the various factors discussed above, we are of the opinion<br />
that, on the basis of the information available to us, the financial terms of the<br />
Proposed Acquisitions are fair and reasonable and are not detrimental to the<br />
minority shareholders of MHB and we recommend that you vote in favour of the<br />
resolutions pertaining to the Proposed Acquisitions to be tabled at the forthcoming<br />
EGM.<br />

Notes:<br />
(1) The Group’s turnover shot up by 83.3% or to RM250.4 million in 1996. However, profit before tax rose by 0.3%<br />
only mainly due to high value Government contracts undertaken that have low profit margin while shortages of<br />
manpower and raw material forced costs up.<br />
(2) The turnover increased to RM381.7 million or by 52.4% in 1997 together with a higher profit before tax of<br />
RM14.2 million or an increase by 8.6%. The increase in the turnover was mainly due to the completion of major<br />
projects, like the North-South Expressway Central Link and the earthwork project at Kuala Lumpur International<br />
Airport which in turn increased the profit before tax.<br />
(3) The Group’s turnover declined to RM222.9 million in 1998 mainly as a result of Asia’s continuing economic<br />
problems that hit the construction sector and the acute shortage of major new projects. The main contributor to<br />
the Group’s turnover and profit was Pembinaan Mitrajaya Sdn Bhd through its civil engineering and building<br />
construction projects.<br />
(4) The Group’s turnover declined to RM178.9 million in 1999 mainly due to shortage of new major projects as the<br />
continued gloomy economic situation hit the construction sector particularly hard. Despite a lower turnover, the<br />
profit before tax increased by 154%.<br />
(5) The Group turnover for the year ended 31 December 2000 has increased by 23% and 22% increase in profit<br />
before tax as compared to the preceding year ended 31 December 1999. The property development at Puchong<br />
and South Africa brought on higher contribution.<br />
(6) There is no exceptional items for the six financial years ended 31 December 2000 except for the financial year<br />
ended 31 December 1998 which are related to corporate exercise expenses and loss on repurchase of bonds.<br />
(7) There is no extraordinary items for the six financial years ended 31 December 2000.
