Remarks :
On 11 October 2007, the Company had proposed to dispose of its switchgear business to Larsen & Toubro Limited for a total consideration of RM378.0 million ("the Proposed Disposal"). The Proposed Disposal is expected to result in a one-time group gain on disposal of approximately RM149 million. Presently, the Company still needs to fulfill all conditions precedent as stipulated in the share sale agreement to complete the transaction, which is expected within the first half of 2008.

During this intervening period, the Board is pleased to declare the payment of an interim dividend of 1.5 sen less 26% tax of RM2,880,313-69. This is the maiden dividend declared by the Company since its listing in 2004.

Subject to the necessary approvals being obtained the net proceeds from the Proposed Disposal, after settlement of liabilities, will be returned to the shareholders. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company intends to maximize the payment of dividends up to the availability of the eventual distributable profits.

The Board would like to reinforce its commitments towards shareholders and take this opportunity to thank the shareholders for their loyalty, patience and unwavering support.

This announcement is dated 7 December 2007.
