Striving for Growth

Chairman’s Statement

Dear Shareholders,I am pleased to announce that Faber Group Berhad (“Faber” or “the Group”) has recorded another good year for 2010. The Group achieved its best ever revenue in its 47-year history especially after we expanded our business overseas. This strategic move has resulted in us strengthening our foundation for sustainable long term growth. Nevertheless, it is important that we maintain adequate focus in the foreign environment so that any differences in business culture are well managed and business processes are in compliance with international standards and practices.

Faber continues to focus on delivering quality services and products to enrich the lives of our shareholders, employees, clients, end-users and other stakeholders. The theme for this year’s Annual Report, “Enriching Lives” aptly reflects the positive impact of our core businesses on society, industry, economy and the nation.

In order to sustain commendable performance, our company must and will continue to seek for new opportunities with high growth potential both locally and overseas, whilst at the same time we will continue to build on our strength to focus on customer service and product offerings. Through Integrated Facilities Management (“IFM”) services, we provide efficient operations and management of assets, which assist our clients to focus on their core activities in serving their respective constituencies. In Property Development, we have differentiated ourselves from our competitors by developing high-end niche and attractive residential and commercial properties. This strategy will ensure our development projects will not only be well received with its contemporary and distinctive architectural styles but also to optimise and secure better returns from our precious remaining land bank. Faber’s core focus on IFM and Property Development continues to underpin the Group’s capability to generate healthy returns and consistently deliver profits to our shareholders.

IMPRovED FINANCIAL PERFoRMANCE

For the financial year ended 31 December 2010, the Group posted revenue of RM888.8 million compared to RM805.3 million the previous year. The higher revenue was achieved on the back of IFM contracts in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”). The commendable performance by the IFM sector contributed RM819.7 million or 92% to Group’s revenue (2009: RM682.8 million) and Profit Before Tax (“PBT”) of RM136.2 million (2009: RM127.9 million). The Property Development Division posted revenue of RM69.1 million only (2009: RM122.5 million) but nevertheless generated a PBT of RM15.4 million (2009: RM28.1 million).

The Group had registered lower PBT amounting to RM129.2 million (after off-setting corporate office expenses) against RM141.2 million in 2009, largely due to a much lower PBT contribution from the Group’s property arm, which cautiously deferred several launches arising from the then uncertain market factors.

In 2010, Faber realised both its Headline Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”). Faber achieved a 12.6% 1 Revenue Growth against its target of between 12% and 15% and exceeded its KPI for Return On Equity (“ROE”) with a growth rate of 19.5% 2 against targets of between 15% and 18%.

The year’s performance has thus placed the Group in a stronger financial position with increased Shareholders’ Funds to RM448.9 million representing an increase of 15.3% from RM389.2 million in 2009. Operational Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) marginally decreased to 21.7 sen (2009: 22.9 sen).

1 FY2009 revenue excludes a non-recurring one-off item of RM16.0 million.

2 For the computing of ROE above, the Profit Attributable to Owners of the Parent for FY2010 excludes the negative impact of non-recurring one-off items of RM3.1 million.

DIvIDEND

In line with our vision to share healthy returns with our investors, the Board of Directors is pleased to propose for financial year 2010 a final dividend of 8% less 25% taxation, equivalent to 6.0 sen net per ordinary share (2009: 4.5 sen) on 363 million ordinary shares. The Board seeks the approval of the shareholders for a total net dividend payout of RM21.8 million (2009: RM16.3 million).

This marks the fifth consecutive year where Faber has increased its dividend payout. As you are aware, Faber announced the first-ever dividend of 2% in 2006 after a lapse of 22 years and this was followed by a consistently incremental rise in dividend in the following years (2007: 3%; 2008: 4%; 2009: 6%).

We will continue to adopt this dividend payout policy in the coming years by ensuring sustainable growth and returns in our businesses portfolios.

Chairman’s Statement (continued)

INTEGRATED FACILITIES MANAGEMENTPushing the Boundaries in a Competitive Environment

The Group’s entry into IFM began with a Government Concession for Hospital Support Services (“HSS”), which commenced on 1 January 1997. Since then, we have incrementally built a foundation for the business by developing highly trained and knowledgeable human capital supported by a comprehensive structure of systems and practices. Today, Faber is the largest service provider of IFM in Malaysia and is intent to continue pursuing commercially viable projects not only in Malaysia butalso overseas particularly in the UAE and the Indian Continent where we have established our footing. This we will do by leveraging on our competencies and experiences developed over the years.

In Malaysia, IFM operations are undertaken by two wholly owned subsidiaries, Faber Medi-Serve Sdn Bhd (“FMS”) and Faber Facilities Sdn Bhd (“FFSB”). FMS provides HSS comprising Facilities Engineering Maintenance Services (“FEMS”), Biomedical Engineering Maintenance Services (“BEMS”), Cleansing Services (“CLS”), Linen & Laundry Services (“LLS”) and Clinical Waste Management Services (“CWMS”) to 81 Government hospitals including two laboratories. The HSS covers the states of Perak, Kedah, Penang, Perlis, Sabah and Sarawak under an existing15-year Government Concession, which is due to expire in October 2011. Faber is currently in negotiations with the Ministry of Health (“MoH”) for the renewal of the Concession. In addition, the company also undertakes CWMS for more than 650 private clinics and some private hospitals throughout the country.

Our FFSB’s scope of IFM services on the other hand coversnon-healthcare FEMS and general maintenance services. The company currently provides a mix of IFM services for fi ve offi ce buildings and fi ve residential properties. In 2010, several new projects were secured, where the main contract is for the provision of CLS for 49 Light Rail Transit (“LRT”) stations. Apart from its operations in the country, FFSB also provides IFM services in India, which comprise CLS, BEMS and FEMS for private hospitals and commercial properties.

Our key business strategy is to focus on the expansion of our IFM businesses and enhancing the competencies as well as broadening the technical skills of our human resource. This is to enable Faber to offer IFM services for other sectors such as Oil & Gas (“O&G”) Instrumentation, Airports and Ports, which require certain specialisation that is unique to each sector.

Intensifying our Efforts Overseas

Faber undertakes IFM services in the UAE through our subsidiary Faber L.L.C. while the operations in India are managed by FFSB via its subsidiaries Faber Star Facilities Management Limited (“Faber Star”) and Faber Sindoori Management Services Private Limited (“Faber Sindoori”).

United Arab Emirates (“UAE”)

Faber L.L.C. is a joint venture company incorporated in Dubai to tap the IFM opportunities in the UAE. The Group holds 75% beneficiary interest in the company.

Faber L.L.C. secured a new three-year contract worth a total of RM20.0 million to provide HSS to the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City in Abu Dhabi commencing 16 August, 2010. Faber L.L.C. current contracts for the provision of BEMS and FEMS at seven hospitals total RM12.6 million per annum.

In 2009, Faber L.L.C. was awarded a contract for infrastructure maintenance and two contracts for residential maintenance (worth an estimated annual total contract value of RM184.0 million) with the option to extend the contracts on a yearly basis for a four-year period by the Department of Municipal Affairs, Western Region Municipality (“WRM”) in Abu Dhabi.

Subsequently in January 2011, Faber received notices of non-renewal for the three contracts of which the infrastructure maintenance contract has ceased with effect from 3 April, 2011 and the residential maintenance contracts will cease with effect from 1 June, 2011. Notwithstanding this setback, our long term focus will still be on strengthening and expanding our foothold in the UAE. India

The Group made its fi rst entry into India in 2006 through its joint venture companies Faber Star and Faber Sindoori. Since then the total Indian operations have achieved revenue of RM28.9 million in 2010. Faber Star based in New Delhi, now undertakes BEMS for four Fortis hospitals as well as FEMS for a residential and a commercial building at a combined annual value of RM6.5 million. Faber Sindoori, our Chennai based joint venture has fi ve contracts to provide BEMS and 37 contracts for CLS at Apollo Group of Hospitals, and another two contracts to provide FEMS to the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad with a total annual value of RM24.8 million.

With our existing presence in India, we believe we are well placed to capitalise on future IFM opportunities in the world’s second most populous country.

Chairman’s Statement (continued)

PRoPERTY DEvELoPMENTTowards Better Prospects in 2011

Property Development remains a core sector of Faber undertaken by wholly owned subsidiary, Faber Development Holdings Sdn Bhd (“FDH”). The subsidiary has consistently delivered valued and quality real estate thereby evoking favourable response from house buyers and investors. Against this backdrop, FDH has established a commendable reputation, which is synonymous with quality, reliability, innovation and integrity. Owing to the economic downturn in 2008/2009, the Board decided to defer the launches of some projects, which in hindsight proved to be prudent and beneficial.

The Armada Villa, which consists of 40 units of semi-detached houses, 5 bungalows and a clubhouse fronting the lake in Taman Danau Desa, Kuala Lumpur was eventually launched in April, 2010. The Areca Residence Sections 1 and 2, which comprises 102 units of 3-storey semi-detached houses in Laman Rimbunan, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur followed in November 2010. The response for these high-end niche developments have been highly encouraging demonstrating buyers more discerning taste for quality products.

The year 2011 is expected to be exciting for FDH with three high-end projects in the pipeline. Auguring the New Year was the launch of Vila Prima in February 2011, one of Faber’s prestigious offerings in the highly sought after location of Taman Danau Desa. This project consists of 34 link-bungalows and 3 detached bungalows with attractive landscaped gardens and water views. Vila Prima is poised to become the lakeside residence of choice for those more discerning buyers who are looking for comfort and luxurious lifestyle.

The Areca Residence Section 3, which comprises 54 units of 3-storey semi-detached houses in Laman Rimbunan, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur is targeted to be launched in mid 2011. This will be followed by the launch of 192 units of high-end condominiums along Persiaran Gurney, Kuala Lumpur in the last quarter of 2011. This high-end condominium project places special emphasis on green landscaping, efficient energy utilisation and a wide range of recreational facilities.

Vila Prima and Areca Residence represent the final phases of development by FDH in their respective townships and suburbs. FDH will seek to acquire new land banks so that it can continue to focus on projects at the high-end market, which incorporates innovative designs. The strategic direction of FDH is to acquire strategically located land for high-end niche developments. Efforts in this direction are being rigorously pursued and more concerted actions will be necessary to ensure sustainability and continuity of the business. Other options will also be considered to uphold shareholders’ value. Our shareholders will be duly apprised in time.

LooKING AHEAD WITH oPTIMISM

IFM outsourcing is picking up momentum particularly in the emerging markets throughout Asia, as industries and individual organisations continue to streamline their businesses to focus on their core activities.

Faber is strategically positioned to capitalise on this market trend as the Group has spent the past 14 years delivering consistently high level of services in IFM. We are now poised to leverage on our technical competencies, experiences and regional presence to expand our IFM operations both vertically and horizontally into other markets and industry sectors.

In general, the Group’s short term and long term strategy for its IFM business is to focus on improving its service quality to meet the rising client expectations and managing the increasing costs of various offerings. As for FDH, the specific short term challenge is to ensure the success of the new high-end development launches while the midterm challenge is to secure strategically located land to add to our depleting land bank.

MAINTAINING oUR vALUES AND EFFECTIvE GovERNANCE

The Group upholds the core values of corporate governance, integrity, transparency and accountability in the conduct of its business operations. We will enhance our ability to manage and mitigate risk to meet the increasing expectations of the industry, regulators and other stakeholders as well as upholding strong corporate governance practices. Moving forward, to meet these challenges, we will continue to invest in technologies that will contribute towards improved efficiency and productivity, while technical and professional training will be intensified to further develop the quality of our human resource.

Managing Director’s Review

As a corporation, Faber Group Berhad (“Faber” or “the Group”) has always been cognisant that our responsibility lies in creating and maintaining our stakeholders’ value. The greater challenge is to continuously generate and support the momentum for sustainable growth. In this regard, Faber is committed towards improving its financial and operational performance by strengthening its core competencies, value propositions and market position.

We have carefully harnessed and nurtured our strategic strengths into centrepieces of growth. This has resulted in our core businesses of Integrated Facilities Management (“IFM”) and Property Development migrating up the value chain. For IFM, we are moving into specialised industry sectors and for Property Development we are focusing on niche projects.

ExPANDING oUR IFM CAPABILITIES

Continuing our efforts to cater for the increasing capacity of our IFM services, the Group invested a total of RM20.5 million in the year under review for a new laundry plant in Bukit Beruntung, Selangor and a portable incinerator in Lahad Datu, Sabah.

The RM17.0 million new laundry plant is poised to increase our market positioning to capture additional private sector business beyond our Government Concession for Hospital Support Services (“HSS”). Meanwhile, the RM3.5 million portable incinerator in Lahad Datu represents a new wave of facilities for our provision of Clinical Waste Management Services (“CWMS”) as it can be easily and readily relocated depending on demand and logistics. These investments have further strengthened Faber’s position as one of the largest operators of Linen and Laundry Services and CWMS in the country.

The new Bukit Beruntung Laundry Plant is equipped with the latest equipment and technology.

FMS provision of Linen and Laundry Services offers a one-stop centre for the total care and supply of linen to ensure consistency in the quality and quantity of linen at all times.t

Managing Director’s Review (continued)

Faber has commenced a pilot project to audit the energy usage at five Government buildings in the Northern States of Peninsular Malaysia.

SUPPoRTING NATIoNAL ASPIRATIoNS

Faber is spearheading the proposed project on Energy Performance Management System (“EPMS”) for Government entities, which forms part of Malaysia’s Economic Transformation Programme (“ETP”). The Government’s unveiling of the ETP is to raise the country’s Gross National Income (“GNI”) per capita by 2020 and will further encourage the creation of new jobs.

For this proposed projects, the Group has commenced a pilot project to audit the energy usage at selected Government buildings located in the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia. The results of the audit will be used to determine action plans to achieve optimisation of energy usage and promote savings in Government buildings. This is in support of the Entry Point Project (“EPP”) - Improving Energy Efficiency within the ETP. This pilot project, which covers five buildings is expected to have a GNI impact of RM18 million by 2020.

The EPP is an enhancement of our existing IFM services and we will continuously strive to meet the Government’s objectives and visions for energy efficiencies and carbon emission reductions.

ExPANDING oUR IFM CAPABILITIES (contd.)

Another emerging discipline, which Faber has embarked on is Green IFM (“GIFM”). Currently, GIFM is at an early stage of development in the region and we are strategically positioning ourselves to tap into this area of expertise. We expect to see an increase in demand for this service as the awareness of GIFM services increases in the region. Essentially, GIFM involves minimising and optimising the use of energy such as electricity and water as well as controlling the air quality in buildings.

The Green Building Index (“GBI”) is Malaysia’s industry recognised green rating measurement for buildings to promote sustainability in the built environment. As at November 2010, Faber has personnel who were certified as GBI Commissioning Specialists (“CxS”) to carry out both green building facilitation and commissioning activities. The specific tasks of the CxS are to evaluate and verify as to whether comprehensive green building pre-commissioning and commissioning activities are performed.

Faber is spearheading the Energy Performance Management System under the Malaysia Economic Transformation Programme.

On 7 July 2010, Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai, Minister of Health, Malaysia launched a coffee table book entitled “Accolades – A Tribute to Malaysia’s Privatisation of Hospital Support Services”, which was published by Faber Medi-Serve Sdn Bhd (“FMS”). This noteworthy project documents FMS achievements and the development of the five HSS since the beginning of the concession in 1996. The information presented in this book is particularly useful for our employees, healthcare providers, relevant regulatory authorities and Government bodies as it provides comprehensive insight of HSS.

Revitalising the Faber Brand

We have embarked on a brand strategy project to establish a comprehensive corporate brand strategy for the future strategic growth and development of the Faber brand. The objective of undertaking this brand enhancement exercise is to create a cohesive and focused identity for Faber. Throughout 2010, we successfully completed the required phases to chart the Brand Strategy Blueprint. The Internal Brand Awareness Programme kicked-off in March 2011 to communicate and introduce the Brand Personality amongst the Group’s employees.

Driven by our core values and brand personality of being Professional, Passionate, Caring, Innovative and Trustworthy, we are optimistic that our efforts will enable us to further enhance our presence and competitive advantage as well as strengthen the Faber brand.

For us to remain on track and keep up our performance momentum we need to continuously reassess and improve our work processes, service levels, skills and knowledge. With the continuous support and guidance from our Board of Directors coupled with the commitment and dedication from the Management Team and employees, we have managed the challenges in 2010.

Operations ReviewIntegrated Facilities Management

The growth and dominance of Faber Group Berhad’s (“Faber” or “the Group”) Integrated Facilities Management (“IFM”) business is a reflection of the strides made by the Group since it was first awarded a 15-year Government Concession to provide Hospital Support Services (“HSS”) to Government hospitals by the Ministry of Health (“MoH”) in late 1996. The Concession became a catalyst for the emergence of IFM outsourcing in Malaysia and Faber being one of the pioneers in this field continuously strives to raise the standards of IFM.

The Integrated Facilities Management (“IFM”) Division has steadily increased its contribution to the Group’s revenue from RM458.3 million or 69.0% in 2007 to RM819.7 million or 92.2% in 2010 (2008: RM507.9 million or 76.8%; 2009: RM682.8 million or 84.8%).

Over the years, the Group has developed a comprehensive framework for the provision of HSS consisting of human capital with technical expertise and management experience, extensive infrastructure of facilities, as well as tried and tested processes and practices.

FMS has been operating and maintaining HSS for Government hospitals for the past 14 years. Based on the concession agreement executed on 28 October 1996, FMS was required to notify the Government of its intention to extend the Concession period before 28 October 2009. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, FMS notified the MoH of its intention to extend the Concession on 22 October 2009 and subsequently submitted the financial proposal to the Government on 29 June 2010.

The current provision of HSS to 81 hospitals including two laboratories encompasses Facilities Engineering Maintenance Services (“FEMS”), Biomedical Engineering Maintenance Services (“BEMS”), Cleansing Services (“CLS”), Linen and Laundry Services (“LLS”) and Clinical Waste Management Services (“CWMS”). Another two hospitals were recently added, which are extensions to existing hospitals. These are the Queen Elizabeth Hospital 2, which was previously known as the Sabah Medical Centre and “Pusat Jantung, Hospital Umum Sarawak”, previously known as the Sarawak International Medical Centre (“SIMC”).

oPERATIoNAL HIGHLIGHTS

New Laundry Plant for LLS ExpansionIn 2010, FMS invested RM17.0 million for a new laundry plant in Bukit Beruntung, Selangor as part of its expansion plans to cater for the growing demand of LLS for the Concession and Non-Concession businesses. The new plant is strategically located in northern Selangor to capitalise on private sector opportunities in the Klang Valley and Selangor, and is also to cater for the increasing demand not only from the hospitals under the concession but also from private hospitals.

Scheduled to be operational in April 2011, the plant, equipped with advanced technology, can initially process up to 12 metric tonnes of laundry per day. It can be expanded to process a maximum capacity of up to 40 metric tonnes of linen per day when it is fully upgraded and equipped, which is expected to be undertaken in stages in the next five years. The Bukit Beruntung facility is FMS fifth laundry plant with large capacity apart from the Kuala Ketil Plant in Baling, Kedah; the Kota Kinabalu Laundry Plant in Sabah; the Kamunting Laundry Plant in Perak and the Sijingkat Laundry Plant in Sarawak.

Improving Incineration Capacity for CWMSFMS currently treats and disposes approximately 17 metric tonnes of clinical waste per day from medical facilities nationwide. Its main facility in Peninsular Malaysia is the RM16.8 million Kamunting Incineration Plant with a capacity of 18 tonnes per day. In Sabah, the new portable incinerator in Lahad Datu is poised to support the existing facility in Lok Kawi by May 2011. The RM3.5 million portable incinerator is a modular plant that can be dismantled and set up at a different location.

Although the Government Concession ensured resilient earnings over the years, Faber sees the need to expand its operations to include other aspects of IFM. Catalysing on the experience and expertise gathered over 15 years in HSS, Faber will strategically leverage on its effi cient and effective models of operations to undertake specialised IFM for other sectors.

The Group has taken a proactive stance and has embarked on training programmes to equip its employees with the necessary skills required to tap into other industry sectors, which include oil and Gas (“o&G”) Instrumentation, Airports and Ports. The demand for IFM services is expected to increase in the markets where Faber operates, and the trend of outsourcing to IFM service providers is rapidly growing. Annually, Faber allocates a considerable amount of investment in training, which also includes training for IFM services in new sectors to enhance its human resources’ competencies and technical skills. The investment in continuous training and education for technical and professional employees’ development are central in the Group’s key business focus and strategy, which is the expansion of its IFM business.

Property Development remains a principal activity of Faber, consistently contributing positively to the Group’s results by delivering niche and innovative properties to property buyers and investors over the years. The flagship properties of the Group in Taman Desa, Taman Danau Desa and Laman Rimbunan, Kepong in Kuala Lumpur have over the years appreciated in value as these are developments located in prime locations within established townships with excellent infrastructure. Previous projects such as Danau Villa in Taman Danau Desa comprising 64 lakeside villas and Phase 1, 2 and 3 of Laman Rimbunan, which were completed and handed over to purchasers have chalked up substantial capital appreciation.

During the financial year under review, this Division launched two upmarket property developments namely Armada Villa in Taman Danau Desa and Areca Residence in Laman Rimbunan, Kepong. Armada Villa, a high-end lakeside development launched in April 2010, comprises 45 units of semi-detached houses and bungalows. Meanwhile, Section 1 and 2 of Areca Residence were launched in November 2010, which comprises 102 units of semi-detached houses. The growing market confidence in Faber’s properties coupled with the improved property market sentiment has resulted in very successful launches for both these properties. More than 70% of the units were sold within two days of the launching. The keen interest of repeat customers for these latest launches further reinforces this inference. Indeed, the Division’s shift towards innovative and niche property products has proven to be the right strategy to contribute positively towards the Group’s revenue.

The Group’s property arm, FDH registered a decline in revenue from RM122.5 million in 2009 to RM69.1 million for the year under review. Correspondingly, FDH’s PBT also dipped to RM15.4 million as compared to RM28.1 million in 2009.

The decline in financial performance was a result of the Group’s decision to defer three project launches in year 2009 namely Armada Villa, Areca Residence and Vila Prima, which were eventually launched in April 2010, November 2010 and February 2011 respectively. Prior to these launches, FDH took the opportunity to refine the designs in meeting the demand of potential buyers and to capitalise on the right timing to ride on the upswing in the property market in 2010. With the staggered launches in 2010 and early 2011, the Division’s 2011 financial performance is expected to improve.
