Performance of FY2012 Headline KPIs

No.	KPIs	2012 (Target)	2012 (12 months Unaudited Group Results)
1.	Return on Equity ("ROE")	19.0%	17.96%
2.	Fresh Fruit Bunches ("FFB") yield	22.07 mt/ha	21.51 mt/ha
3.	Dividend	To distribute approximately 50% of Group's Annual PATAMI	A single tier interim dividend of 3.60 sen per ordinary share. A final single tier dividend of 1.00 sen per ordinary share (subject to shareholders' approval).

On the back of challenging operating environment, the total dividend of 4.60 sen is in line with THP Group sustainable dividend policy of distributing approximately 50% of PATAMI (based on the realized profits). However, the Group was unable to achieve the targeted ROE of 19.0% due to the corporate exercises undertaken that involved equity which resulted in a higher shareholders' fund. The FFB yield per ha has also slipped by 2.5% from 22.07 mt/ha to 21.51 mt/ha mainly due to adverse weather factor and biological tree stress that have resulted in a lower cropping pattern similarly experienced nationwide.

Target Headline KPIs for FY2013

No.	KPIs	2013 (Target)
1.	ROE	6.5%
2.	FFB yield	20.50 mt/ha
3.	Dividend	To distribute approximately 50% of Group's Annual PATAMI
