Gegenbesuch ecuadorianischer Sonderpädagoginnen in der BRDFriedrich AlbrechtVom 8.Mai bis 8.Juni waren neun WissenschaftlerInnen, LehrerInnen und andere PädagogInnenaus Ecuador, die im sonderpädagogischen Bereich tätig sind, auf die Einladung des Institutesfür Sonder- und Heilpädagogik zu Gast in der BRD.Dieser Besuch war eingebettet in die Aktivitäten des Arbeitskreises „Sonderpädagogik undDritte Welt“ am o.g. Institut, der einen kontinuierlich interkulturellen Austausch zwischenWissenschaftlerInnen und StudentInnen aus der Bundesrepublik und einem Land der DrittenWelt verfolgt.Das Einladungsprogramm stellte die ergänzende Fortsetzung einer im Sommer 1988 durchgeführtenStudienreise von den Angehörigen dieses Arbeitskreises nach Ecuador dar. Die damalsbegonnenen Kontakte wurden nun unter umgekehrten Vorzeichen fortgesetzt. DieBesucherInnen aus Quito und Guayaquil lernten zahlreiche sonderpädagogische Einrichtungenin der Bundesrepublik und in Berlin kennen, darüber hinaus fanden am Institutviele Veranstaltungen zu verschiedensten Themen aus dem Bereich der Sonderpädagogikstatt.„Die Sonderpädagogik (Edcacion Especial)in unserem Land befindet sich momentan in einerPhase der Evaluation und Reorganisation. Die Konzepte innerhalb der Behindertenarbeit unterliegenimmer mehr einem Wandel von caritativen zu pädagogischen Sichtweisen.Bis in die achtziger Jahre hinein war von unseren zuständigen staatlichen Stellen so gut wienichts für den sonderpädagogischen Sektor zu erwarten. Das überließ man den wenigen privatenund kirchlichen Trägern. Diese Einstellung hat sich aber geändert. Im Erziehungsministeriumbesteht ein Interesse an qualitativen sonderpädagogischen Konzepten.Von daher ist der Besuch in der Bundesrepublik gerade zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sehr wichtigfür uns. Mit den hier gewonnenen Eindrücken, Erfahrungen und den Diskussionsergebnissenhaben wir jetzt eine Verhandlungs- und Argumentationsbasis gegenüber dem Erziehungsministerium: Für den Ausbau integrativer Klassen mit Stützlehrern, für eine Lehrerbildung, diestärker an pädagogischen und didaktischen Inhalten orientiert ist und für eine bessere Zusammenarbeitzwischen privaten und öffentlichen Trägern.“So faßte Conception de Villao, die zuständigen Supervisora für die 60 Förderklassen in derProvinz Guayas, bei einem Vortrag im Turm einen wichtigen Aspekt des Besuchsprogrammszusammen.Eindrücke und Erfahrungen sammelten die ecuadorianischen BesucherInnen zur Genüge. Dievier Wochen waren gefüllt mit Besuchen in den verschiedensten sonderpädagogischen Einrichtungen.Geplant war, ein möglichst breites Spektrum von dem vorzustellen, was Sonderpädagogikin der BRD beinhaltet. Es umfaßte dabei die klassischen Sonderschultypen wie dieLernbehindertenschule, die Schule für praktisch Bildbare, die Hörbehindertenschule, dieSprachbehindertenschule, die Körperbehindertenschule und die Schule für Blinde und Sehbehinderte.Darüberhinaus gab es Besuche in Einrichtungen der vorschulischen sowie der nachschulischenBetreuung Behinderter, der bruflichen Qualifizierung und von integrativen Projektenund Schulversuchen. An dieser Stelle sei einmal auf die hervorragende Unterstützunghingewiesen, die das Austauschprojekt von Seiten der einzelnen Einrichtungen, LehrerInnen,PädagogInnen und anderen Beteiligten erhielt.

DESA DAMANSARA 2CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT


CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENTThe year 2001 was not only a challenging year butalso another milestone in the history of the <strong>IGB</strong> Group.It is most heartening to note that the proposedmerger of the property related businesses of <strong>IGB</strong> andTan & Tan has been successfully completed. Therationalization exercise of placing Tan & Tan underthe umbrella of <strong>IGB</strong> not only has expanded theGroup’s portfolio of investment properties whichcomprise substantially of upmarket residentialproperties, commercial entities and hotels, but alsoenabled the Group to be well placed to exploitopportunities from its prime land assets fordevelopment activities and to realize theappreciation in the value of the land banks.The merger henceforth added considerablecreditability to the new direction of the Group toimprove both its prospects and performance as wellas working towards its vision to deliver growth andincrease shareholders value as it moves forward.Starting out on this positive note, it is both mypleasure and privilege to now present, on behalf ofthe Board, the Annual Report and Audited FinancialStatements of <strong>IGB</strong> <strong>Corporation</strong> <strong>Berhad</strong> Group for thefinancial year ended 31 December 2001.FINANCIAL RESULTSIn 2001, the Group performed reasonably welldespite the lingering uncertainties of the globaleconomic downturn. The Group revenue wasRM199.9 million compared with RM312.5 million lastyear. The lower revenue was mainly due to absenceof launches and minimal progress billing. The Grouppretax profit was however higher at RM61.9 million,compared with RM46.0 million in the preceding year.The improved results were mainly due to exceptionalgains derived from the disposal of the Group’s stakein Ipoh Limited and the share of profit on thedisposal of quoted investment by the Group’sassociate company, IJM <strong>Corporation</strong> <strong>Berhad</strong> (‘IJM’),coupled with the better performance from theGroup’s construction and hotel divisions. In tandemwith the improved earnings, the Group’s earningsper share rose to 8.50 sen while the Group’s nettangible assets backing per share improved toRM2.15. The Shareholders’ funds increased fromRM1,235.0 million to RM1,276.0 million for the yearunder review.With the exception of the investment holdingdivision, all operating divisions in the Group reportedpositive earnings for the year. The property divisionmaintained its positive contribution to the Group withcommendable rental returns from the Mid ValleyMegamall and the sales revenue of properties soldin the previous year. The construction divisioncontinued its upwards growth trend and registeredcredible profits. The hotel division also showed asignificant improvement in profitability, benefitingfrom both improved average room rates andincreased occupancies.As shareholders are aware, the financial year endedalso saw the completion of the disposal by theCompany of its 21.44% equity interest in Ipoh Limitedfollowing a conditional general offer. The disposalhas resulted in a gain of RM41.0 million. As mentionedearlier, the gain was taken up as an exceptional item,which contributed substantially to the pretax profitfor the year under review. The proceeds would beused to pare down the Group’s borrowings and forworking capital. Following the disposal, Ipoh Limitedhas effectively ceased to be an associate companyof the Group.40<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001


CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENTSHARE CAPITALThe total issued and paid up share capital ofthe Company increased from RM296,976,536to RM296,994,755-50 during the year as a result ofconversion of Transferable Subscription Rights 1993/1998, and the latter was removed from the OfficialList of the Exchange on 12 December 2001.As at 31 December 2001, the number of Warrants1999/2004 outstanding remains at 118,558,214 whilst3,671,000 share options remain unissued under theEmployees Share Option Scheme.DIVIDENDOn 7 January 2002, an interim dividend of 3% lessincome tax was paid. The Board is recommendinga final dividend of 2% less income tax, giving atotal dividend of 5% for the financial year ended31 December 2001, the same as in the previous year.GROUP PROSPECTS FOR 2002The forecast growth in the Gross Domestic Productof 3.5% for 2002 compared to 0.5% achieved in 2001(Source: Bank Negara Report 2001) bears ampletestimony to the pervading optimism with regard tothe turnaround in the country’s economic health.Although still clouded by global economicuncertainties, with the Government’s relentlessefforts in implementing various policies topump-primed the economy and other measures toprotect the economy from the adverse effects of theglobal slowdown, the country’s economy isexpected to continue on its recovery path.With that in mind, the outlook for the Group’sdiversified portfolio of business activities is expectedto improve in line with the anticipated sustainabilityof the overall business environment in the country.The Group will focus its efforts to build on its corebusinesses, while at the same time exploiting newbusiness ventures and opportunities thathave synergistic benefits and could contributeto its bottom line apart from enhancingshareholders’ value.Going forward, with a bigger asset base enlargedby the recently completed merger with Tan & Tan,the revenue and profit generation capacity ofthe Group is obviously higher. However, in orderto stimulate long term profitability, competitivenessand growth, the Group will focus even more ondeveloping long range business policies which willmaintain a steady source of income and earningsover time. Hence, the Group is now looking into theexpansion of the Mid Valley City project, which willact as the primary stimulus to provide a strong andsteady recurring revenue to fuel futuredevelopment activities and for investmentopportunities. Concurrently, the Group is alsoscouting for budget hotels in the region to expandits home grown Cititel chain as well as to beef upsome of the Group’s development projects tocapitalize on the upturn in the economy.Having taken the first step, the Group is now poisedto move forward, armed to face the challenges that<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001 41

Sri Bukit PersekutuanREVIEW OF OPERATIONS


REVIEW OF OPERATIONSDear Shareholders,The year under review saw the active pursuit of theGroup’s rationalization exercise with Tan & Tan.In this regard, I am pleased to report that the mergerof the property development and investmentbusiness and subsidiaries of <strong>IGB</strong> and Tan & Tan hasbeen successfully concluded. With this, may I assureshareholders that we will relentlessly continue to steerthe Group firmly towards a steady and well chartedgrowth with the single minded objective of creatingand enhancing shareholders wealth.The year presented many challenges to the Group’sbusinesses in the light of highly competitive local andregional markets and the continued effects of theeconomic downturn together with difficultoperating conditions. Despite the challengingeconomic circumstances, the Group managed torecord another commendable performance. Thepretax profit rose 35% to RM61.9 million from RM46.0million previously, albeit revenue was 36% lower atRM199.9 million from RM312.5 million previously.All the core business divisions within the Groupshowed increased contribution. For the propertydivision, the Group’s prime asset, the Mid ValleyMegamall (‘Megamall’) was again the maincontributor with gross rental income amounting toapproximately RM88.0 million. The Megamallmaintained its position as the most popular megaentertainment and shopping centre as amplydemonstrated by its steady and sustained growth inrevenue and profits, brought about by theselection of tenants, cultural and other exhibits,features, facilities and services that all combine tocreate a unique retail mix and theme attractive toconsumers. As at the end of the financial year, 99%of the Megamall’s lettable space had been leased.The Megamall recorded in excess of 18 millionvisitations in 2001 providing the basis for excellenttrading conditions for retailers within the Megamall.It is indeed heartening to note that besidesattracting the continued presence of shoppers andvisitors, the Megamall has been the proud recipientof various awards during the year. The Megamallwas bestowed with the 2001 FIABCI Awards ofDistinction for Best Retail Development. This is a highlycommendable achievement and reflects thesuccess of our Megamall. The Megamall was alsothe recipient of the award for the ‘Best ShoppingComplex for Year 2000’ organized by the MalaysianTourism Promotion Board. Apart from bothprestigious awards, the Megamall was named theKuala Lumpur City Hall’s Best and CleanestShopping Centre Award 2001. I must say that the44<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001


REVIEW OF OPERATIONSoutstanding result speaks well for the experiencedmanagement team of the Megamall which hassuccessively demonstrated the effectiveness ofapplying sound marketing strategies and leasinginitiatives to ensure the continued prosperity of theMegamall.The earnings of the property division were alsoderived from the progressive billings of the DesaDamansara Phase 2 and sale of completedSignature Offices. Menara <strong>IGB</strong> also achieved arespectable occupancy rate which commensuratewith prevailing market levels.On the hotel front, competition remains intensefor the Group’s local and overseas hotelswhich are experiencing fall-outs following theaftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks.However, Renaissance Hotel Kuala Lumpur and PanPacific Resort Pangkor continued to report healthygrowth in both occupancies and room rates. The646-rooms Cititel Mid Valley Hotel is proving to be avaluable additional revenue earner, enjoying 70%occupancy for its first operating year. Apart from thethree local hotels, the Group also has interests inhotels in the United Kingdom, Myanmar and Vietnam.Despite the unforeseen operational encumbrancesand the saturation of hotel rooms in their respectivelocations, the performance of the Group’s hotelproperties has overall improved for the yearunder review.The Group continued to benefit from theperformance of its associate company, IJMwhich continued to register credible improvementin performance. Construction division was theleading contributor to IJM’s earnings. With its strongorder book and the expectation of favourable crudepalm oil price, IJM is expected to record anothercommendable results for the current financial year.As shareholders are aware, the Company haddisposed of its 21.44% equity interest in Ipoh Limitedfollowing a conditional general offer. Following thedisposal, the profit contributions through equityaccounting of investments in Ipoh Limited haseffectively ceased.A summary of the various core divisions performedduring the year under review is as follows:PROPERTY DEVELOPMENTMid Valley CitySited on more than 50 acres of prime property, MidValley City is one of the largest urban developmentprojects in the world. Phase 1 of the Mid Valley City,covering a gross floor area of 4.5 million sq. ft. iscompleted.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONSMindful of the importance of accessibility andconvenience to our customers, plans are in place tofurther improve the surrounding infrastructure, roadstructure and upgrading works to the developmentsunder Phase 1.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONSFederal HillsDespite numerous impediments which have causeddelay in the launch of this upmarket residentialdevelopment on an 18-acres piece of land in theexclusive enclave in Federal Hills, consisting ofdistinctive mixed development - residentialtownhouses, bungalows, luxurious condominium andsemi-detached houses, we are confident that thisdevelopment would finally be launched during theyear. This development, with freehold titles andlocated in a choice residential district, isexpected to be met with equal enthusiasm from thepublic, and the Group should be able to derivesubstantial profit contribution from this project.Earthwork has commenced in January 2002.INVESTMENT PROPERTIESMid Valley MegamallThe Mid Valley Megamall is the largest retail centrein Malaysia and is the first retail development to housethree anchor tenants, 23 junior and mini anchors and430 specialty shops over a net lettable area of 1.7million sq.ft. and 7,000 parking bays distributed over2.45 million sq. ft. Since its opening in November 1999,patronage to the Megamall has steadily increasedand averages 1.5 million customers a month.The Megamall is currently 99.5% occupied withtenants offering a comprehensive retail mix on fiveshopping floors. The shops at the Boulevard are 90%leased out and expected to be fully occupied byend 2002. The first batch of 156 tenancy renewalswere completed in September 2001 with some of theretail mix upgraded to a higher mid-marketposition and rental increased to achieve higher grossrentals for the Megamall. Another 200 shop lotswill be exercising their options to renew inNovember 2002.Tenants in the Megamall continue to trade well andenjoy good sales given the high traffic volume andincreased spending power of the customers. To winand keep these customers, the Megamall adoptsaggressive promotional and strategic advertisingcampaigns and constantly improves upon the levelof customer service. With several measures put inplace to address the traffic management issue anda more efficient operating system, the Megamallshould be able to sustain its present high level ofbusiness activity and continue to yield a steadystream of income in the future.Peer recognition has also won the Megamall theinternational and local industry awards for itscontribution to the retail industry in Malaysia.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONSHOTELSRenaissance Kuala Lumpur HotelThe Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel performedwell and achieved improved results over thecomparable period in 2000. Year 2001 performanceexceeded 2000 by 2.6% despite the increasinglycompetitive trading situation, further aggravated bythe September 11 tragedy which caused a sharpdrop of business for the following two months as aresult of heavy room cancellations with consequentlylower food and beverage sales.Driven by the objective ‘To Manage Market Mix’, thehotel successfully increased by 4% its average roomrate to RM163 against year 2000 and averageoccupancy rate to 68.5% which was an improvementof 19%.Overall room inventory is expected to increase by3,000 rooms within Klang Valley. Competitions willgrow more intense with major entries of these 4 and5 star hotels, scheduled for opening in the secondhalf of 2002. With an insight of several major playerswho had recently renovated or had announcedrenovation and/or expansion plans, coupledwith the influx in rooms inventory, management’sstrategy and plan will have to be promptlyadministered in order to capitalize on theopportunity presented.The strategies developed for the year will be focusedon the hotel’s unique selling proposition to competewith the better positioned city hotels withaggressive marketing and sales strategies andactivities so as to stay competitive, maintain marketshares and thus ensuring revenue growth.Pan Pacific Resort PangkorThe Pan Pacific Resort Pangkor enjoyed higheroccupancy level and room rate followingmanagement’s aggressive marketing efforts andyield management strategies. The resort achievedan occupancy of 73.2%, which was 4.7% upcompared to year 2000. Average room rateincreased slightly by 4.8% when compared to 2000despite uncertainty in the international market withthe worldwide economic downturn. A stable basehowever has been forged for increases during year2002 when the global economy stabilizes.The platform for increased rates in 2001 wasachieved through increases in the high volumeTaiwanese sourced business and removal of addedbenefits in the European market. The domesticmarket has responded favorably to newspaperadvertising which added value but at substantiallyhigher rates than it was perceived the market wouldpay in the past. The inclusion of ‘All Day Dining’ hasincreased the food and beverage spent per guestin the resort whilst adding a greater benefit fortraveler. The conference room nights also continuedto increase with the implementation of the ‘valuefor money’ meetings and conference packages.The introduction of Revenue Management functionin the resort has allowed rates to be enhancedduring the peak periods and the low yield businessdirected to the slow periods. Management willbroaden this function in 2002 to encompass thefood and beverage operation especially theconference area.In efforts to remain competitive and to enhance thevalue of the resort, the Group had commencedrefurbishment and renovation on its rooms, decorsand facilities during the year with the painting of the48<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001


REVIEW OF OPERATIONSSea and Garden Wings, a new deck for the Hornbillrestaurant, erosion prevention on the beachfront,cushions and increased numbers of deck chairs whichhad all contributed to greater customer satisfactionand assisted in the increased of room rates. The giftshop has been moved to a prominent location thathas increased sales and the benefit of increasedactivities in the recreation area has also drawnmore revenue.In 2002, management will continue to strive forincreases in revenue by attracting higher spendinggroups and individuals through selective techniquesof Revenue Management. The introduction of plusplus (++) method of pricing will allow for increases inrates without obvious movement of individuals rates.It is essential for the resort to keep increasing thequality of the product through physical upgrade togive value for the increasing rate. Simultaneously,management will come up with customised productsthat are entirely responsive to market demand tomaintain its strong position in the market.Cititel Mid Valley HotelAdjacent to the Megamall is Cititel Mid Valley Hotel.This year is the first full year of operation for Cititel MidValley since its opening in September 2000.Positioned as the most business-friendly hotel in KualaLumpur with 646 rooms of standard and deluxecategories, Cititel Mid Valley is strategically locatedin the thriving shopping and business district of MidValley City. Patronage by tourists was strong and thehotel also enjoys repeat/regular customers. Thehotel occupancy for the year 2001 closed at 70.3%.The event of September 11 had a slight impact onthe hotel occupancy. However, room occupancyrecovered quickly. Gross operating revenue for theyear 2001 was RM20.6 million whilst the grossoperating profit was RM8.6 million. Generally, themarket acceptance of the product has been verypositive and the key challenges for the hotel for theyear 2002 is to continue to improve its servicestandards and in the general maintenance of thehotel. Pricing strategies vis-a-vis return on yield, theexecution of marketing programmes and costmanagement will continue to be the key areasof focus.St Giles Hotels2001 proved to be the most challenging year for theLondon hotel sector since the Gulf War. Domesticfood and mouth disease and September 11combined to bring an end to the upbeat cycle seenin the late 90’s, and London, in particular, bore thebrunt of the downturn. The US market, whichrepresents 28% of all inbound business to Londondisappeared. The Group’s associate hotels, St GilesHotel London and St Giles Hotel Heathrow performedas follows:(a)St Giles Hotel, LondonIn year 2001, total revenue was £13.9 millioncompared with the prior year’s £14.7 million.Overall average achieved rate was £62.98(£62.79 in 2000) at an overall occupancy of76.9% (80.9% in 2000). This yielded grossoperating profit of £7.3 million (52.8%)versus £7.6 million (52.1%), a result that wasonly achieved by the managementteam implementing very strict cost controlprocedures.The lack of demand for hotel rooms inLondon has created a price war forcing thehotel to discount its rates considerably toremain in parity with its competitors.<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001 49


REVIEW OF OPERATIONS(b)With the completion of the guestroomrefurbishment project and the opening of thenew meeting room suites, expectations forthe year 2002 are sustained growth inthe corporate market at an enhancedaverage rate.St Giles Hotel, HeathrowIn the year 2001, the hotel achieved £4.9million in total sales versus £4.7 million in 2000.Overall occupancy was 58.9% at an overallaverage rate of £56.75. Gross operating profitwas £2.3 million (45.9%) and pretax profit was£86k versus £120k in 2000. These figures havebeen achieved in a year of great turmoil andcost management has been essential sincethe effect of September 11.For the year 2002, the marketing initiative willbe to continue to build corporate awarenessof the hotel, build up average rate byimproving the business mix and further developthe web site (www.stgiles.com). Externalfloodlighting has been introduced to makethe local community more aware of thehotel building and external signs are to beimproved. Outline planning approval isbeing sought for a further 100 guestrooms tobe added to the existing site.The poor market condition is expected to continueinto the financial year 2002. The hotel has realignedits market focus to non-governmental organizationsand embassies in view of the country’s progressiveimprovement in cooperation with the internationalcommunity. Nonetheless, cost saving measures andoperational efficiency improvement will continue tobe given focus.New World SaigonThe performance of the New World Saigon inHo Chi Minh City, Vietnam also showed animprovement over the comparable period in 2000although the Vietnam market is still experiencingconsiderable slowdown due to low investmentgrowth and the glut of hotel rooms. The betterperformance was achieved through a morefocused and aggressive marketing efforts andpromotions. The year to date sales are up by USD1.09million or 9.8% benefiting from increase in roomsrevenue. A special package has been successfullyextended to overseas Vietnamese for their comingLunar New Year celebration. Total revenue for 2001was USD12.2 million, compared to USD11.1 million in2000, whilst occupancy at the hotel reached 68.3%from 58.0% in 2001. Management will continue toplace great emphasis on cost saving measures andoptimizing market share while maintaining efficientservice levels.MiCasa YangonMiCasa Hotel Apartments, the Group associatehotel in Yangon, Myanmar, performed withinexpectation amidst the unfavourable economicclimate and competitive trading environment.It achieved an occupancy rate of 67% in2001 compared to 59% in 2000, with positiveoperating profit.CONSTRUCTIONIJM, the Group’s 20.19% investment in theconstruction sector, performed remarkably well forthe year under review. IJM’s pretax profit surged 77%to RM210.41 million on a 39% rise in revenue toRM857.4 million. The improved results werecontributed mainly by the gain on disposal of its longterm overseas investments, and profit growth from50<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001


REVIEW OF OPERATIONSits construction, property development, manufacturingand quarrying as well as plantation divisions.The construction division maintained the mainstay ofthe group and account for 58.6% of its pretax profit.All other operating divisions, namely propertydevelopment, plantations, manufacturing andquarrying also showed improvement and maintainedtheir positive contribution to the group.During the financial year 2001, the constructiondivision secured a record RM1.77 billion worth ofconstruction contracts locally as well as overseas.Additionally, the leading position of IJM in theindustry was highlighted by the Builder of the Year2001 Award conferred by the Construction IndustryDevelopment Board.The year 2001 saw the completion and handing overof eight construction projects to clients. Notableprojects completed include the Pelabuhan TanjungPelepas Rail Link Project in Johor; Pantai MedicalCentre Extension in Bukit Pantai, Kuala Lumpur andChennai Bypass Phase 1 (connecting NH-4 andNh-5) in Tamil Nadu State, India.CORPORATE PLANS AND DIRECTIONIn line with the new corporate directions set forth inthe Merger, the Group had reviewed its activities,strategies and resources to rationalize its corebusinesses into strategic business groupings toimprove management efficiency, operationalstreamlining and the realization of synergies in a moreeffective manner as well as to bring eachdivision forward to fit in with the Group’s long termgrowth objectives. The Group’s businesseshave henceforth been strategized into distinctdivisions such as, property investment, propertydevelopment, property management, constructionmanagement and hotel. Property development andproperty management will spearhead the drive bythe Group to enhance its profitability and will bejoined by the Group’s other core businesses ofproperty investment, construction managementand hotel operations. Those non-core businesseswill be sold or downsized. At the same time, newbusiness ventures and opportunities, complementaryor synergistic to the Group, will continuously andproactively be pursued to widen the Group’searnings base.With the above objective in mind, high onthe Group’s agenda are efforts directed atstrengthening <strong>IGB</strong> from within and shaping a strongerfuture for the Group. To this end, the Group hasintensified its review directed towards maximizingvalue and returns from its assets. The Group will alsocontinually review all growth opportunities to ensurethey meet the strict criteria in terms of investmentreturn and impact on the Group’s financial position.In the Group’s continuing drive for constantexpansion and development, uppermost on the listof activities planned are to develop the balance ofthe existing site in Mid Valley City into its secondphase as well as to expand the hotel chains underthe Cititel brand. Plans are in place to expand theflagship of the Mid Valley Megamall to build a‘slightly higher class shopping mall’ as an extensionto the existing structure, with the objective toincrease visitations and add value to the centre. Theexpansion is also consistent with the Group’sstrategy to diversify its earning base by venturing intoproperty investments with sustained rental income.I must say that the unwavering support thatwe continue to enjoy from our customers isundoubtedly the strongest motivating factor for our<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001 51


REVIEW OF OPERATIONSproposed expansion, and the Group shall remaincommitted to position the Mid Valley Megamallas the premier shopping centre in the industryand country.The luxury hotel market has become morecompetitive with an altogether familiar scenario offrequent influxes of new hotels into an alreadyoversupplied market. As a first step towardsmeeting this competition, the Group will undertaketo reposition its hotels. The idea of re-positioning is tostrengthen and perpetuate ‘Cititel’ as a brandidentity to dominate the mid range business hotelchains. The plan to expand the business class Cititelchain will lead to active pursuit of acquiring budgethotels in the region and Europe.Property development will remain the main stay ofthe Group’s business revenue. However, the right mixof exposure in commercial entities and hotels willfurther boost earnings and provide a consistent andgrowing earnings stream to the Group. Moreimportantly, it will position us favorably to benefit fromthe recurring rental profits and cash flow to funddevelopment activities as well as to give the Groupthe breather necessary to ride out any ripples in theeconomy in the future.Premised on the above therefore, the Group is wellpoised to improve upon its performance, and 2002should show a growth in profit barring adversedevelopments in the regional and global economies.CONCLUSIONI would like to thank my colleagues on the Board,the management team and staff of all levels for theirunabated dedication and good work. Theco-operation and support of all of you in acceptingthe corporate reorganization will further augment ourway forward. Together, we shall work towards settingnew directions for the Group and to propel <strong>IGB</strong>towards its new destiny. I look forward to an excitingyear in 2002 as we pursue new challenges ahead.Robert Tan Chung MengManaging Director16 April 2002Notwithstanding the above, the Group iscommitted to ensuring that all its core businessactivities are able to meet the challenges arisingfrom the vicissitude of the ever-changing businessenvironment. Quality management, strongcorporate values and business dynamism shallcontinue to be the driving force to ensure thecore businesses remain at the forefront of theirrespective industries.52<strong>IGB</strong> Annual Report 2001

These amounts are taken from the latest audited financialstatements of associates with the same financial year end as the Company and where the financial yearends are not coterminous, the amounts are taken from the management financial statements made upto the financial year end of the Group. Where necessary, in applying the equity method, adjustments aremade to the financial statements of associates to ensure consistency of accounting policies of the Group.(f)InvestmentsInvestments in quoted and unquoted shares held as long term investments are stated at cost.An allowance is made when the Directors are of the opinion that there is a permanent diminution in valueof the investments. Permanent diminution in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in thefinancial year in which diminution is identified.Short term investments in quoted shares are stated at the lower of cost and market value on theaggregate portfolio basis at the balance sheet date.
