Reference is made to your query on "Sapura Motors Berhad (SMB) expects to chalk up a turnover of RM80 million for the financial year to January 31, 2001."

The forecast of RM80 million is based on SMB Group budgetted turnover for financial year ending January 31, 2001.

The budgetted turnover is based on the year 2000 Total Industry Volume (TIV) estimate of 300,000 units of vehicles of which passenger cars domestic make up 240,000 units.












For the SMB Group, the assumptions taken for the budget 2000/2001 are as follows:-

Company	Budget financial year 31/1/2001 (car sets)	Actual financial year 31/1/2000 (car sets)	Percentage Increase (%)
Proton	165,550	155,720	6.5
Perodua	78,758	66,499	18
Turnover	RM'000	RM'000	(%)
Group	80,658	70,413	15

90% of the Group turnover are from Proton and Perodua. During the year 2000, 2 more products will be added to the Group namely, rack bars to T&K Autoparts Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Toyota by Sapura Machining Corporation Sdn Bhd and also brake caliper assembly to Perodua by SMB.

Kindly note so.
