Perolehan berpunca terutama sekali dari pernigaan teras iaitu pengurusan harta pusaka dan peramanahan bagi pelanggan individu dan korporat. Perkhidmatan Individu Di ARB, perkhidmatan berpadu meliputi pembukaan dan pengurusan akaun peramanahan, perkhidmatan menulis wasiat dan pentadbiran harta pusaka individu. Akaun-akaun amanah merupakan sumber pendapatan utama. Pada tahun kewangan 2002, ARB menguruskan 37,285 akaun peramanahan bernilai RM976.6 juta berbanding 34,416 akaun bernilai RM959.4 juta pada tahun kewangan 2001. Pada tahun kewangan 2002, ARB telah memperkenalkan produk-produk amanah baru bagi mempelbagaikan perkhidmatan kami. Pada 23 Mei 2002, Educare, suatu produk amanah serta pelaburan yang menggalakkan ibu bapa dan penjaga menabung bagi pendidikan generasi muka telah dilancarkan. Perkhidmatan Korporat Dalam bidang korporat, perkhidmatan peramanahan dana saham amanah merupakan sumber pendapatan utama. Pada 31 Julai 2002, ARB menjadi penjaga dan pemegang amanah kepada lebih 50 unit dana amanah saham yang mempunyai nilai RM42 bilion. Sebagai langkah mempelbagaikan perolehan, ARB berjaya menembusi pasaran pinjaman sebagai pemegang amanah bagi beberapa terbitan bon korporat untuk tahun kewangan 2002. Ini termasuk terbitan bon Syarikat Hartanah Lintasan Kedua bernilai RM2.96 bilion, terbitan Tiong Nam Transport bernilai RM45 juta dan terbitan Kuala Sidim Berhad bernilai RM100 juta. Bank Pembangunan Industri dalam kapasitinya sebagai pembiaya telah melantik ARB sebagai pemegang amanah bagi pinjaman RM620 juta yang diberi kepada Projek KL Monorail. Sebagai badan korporat milik kerajaan, ARB juga mempunyai kedudukan yang kukuh dalam perkhidmatan peramanahan bagi pinjaman kerajaan seperti “Government Support Loan” iaitu Pinjaman Sokongan Kerajaan yang bernilai RM300 juta dan pinjaman RM6.4 bilion kepada Syarikat Prasarana. Butir-butir Kewangan Utama Produk amanah merupakan penyumbang utama kepada hasil syarikat bagi tahun kewangan 2001/2002. Syarikat 22 AMANAH R AYA BERHAD 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report telah membuat pelaburan yang tinggi dalam perkakasan teknologi maklumat dan aktiviti pemasaran dan promosi yang telah meningkatkan jumlah pembelanjaan dan penurunan keuntungan sebelum cukai kepada RM9.95 juta. Manfaat daripada pelaburan ini akan dapat dirasai pada masa hadapan. Sebaliknya, aset bersih bagi setiap saham meningkat daripada RM6.96 kepada RM7.96. Sementara itu, dana pemegang saham meningkat dari RM40.47 juta kepada RM47.16 juta pada 31 Julai 2002. Meningkatkan Mutu Urus Tadbir Korporat ARB akan terus meningkatkan mutu urus tadbir korporat, penzahiran dan ketelusan. Walaupun ARB bukan syarikat awam tersenarai, kami tetap akan mengamalkan peraturan-peraturan dan pentadbiran yang ketat menurut Kod Urus Tadbir Korporat Malaysia. Sepanjang tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Julai 2002, Jawatankuasa Audit dan Jabatan Audit Dalaman berusaha mengesan risiko-risiko dan konflik To all Stakeholders, On behalf of the Board and management of Amanah Raya Berhad (ARB), it gives me great pleasure to present our annual report and statutory financial statements for the financial year ended 31 July 2002. Financial Review ARB turned in a consistent performance for the financial year ended 31 July 2002. Total revenues increased to RM29.5 million from RM26.7 million for the previous year, thanks to intensive and targeted marketing efforts and public education campaigns. Revenues were derived primarily from our core businesses of legacy management and trust administration for both retail and corporate clients. Personal Services At ARB, our integrated legacy management services consist of creating and managing trust accounts, will services, and administration of deceased’s estates. As a core revenue generator, ARB managed 37,285 trust accounts valued at RM976.6 million for FY2002, compared to 34,416 trust accounts valued at RM959.4 million for FY2001. For FY2002, ARB also began diversifying its retail products by introducing trust and investment hybrids that capitalize on our skills in trust and asset management. On May 23, 2002, we launched Educare, a trust-cuminvestment product that encourages parents and guardians to start saving for the education of future generations. Corporate Services In corporate services, trustee services for unit trusts are ARB’s primary breadwinner. As of 31 July 2002, ARB acted as trustee and custodian for over 50 unit trust funds with a net asset value of RM42 billion. To further diversify revenues, ARB successfully penetrated the debt market as a trustee for several corporate bond exercises in FY2002. These include the Wargakerja adalah nyawa kepada kejayaan syarikat yang berorientasikan perkhidmatan. Oleh demikian ARB menekankan kepentingan melatih sumber intelek serta menyediakan persekitaran yang memperkayakan peningkatan sumber manusia yang lebih profesional. People are crucial to the success of a services-oriented company. Recognising this, ARB places great emphasis on training intellectual capital, and providing a nourishing environment for personal and professional enhancement. Second Link’s RM2.96 billion issue, Tiong Nam Transport’s RM45 million issue and Kuala Sidim Berhad’s RM100 million issue. End-financier Bank Pembangunan Industri also appointed ARB as a trustee for the RM620 million loan awarded to the KL Monorail Project. By virtue of its status as a government-owned corporation, ARB also has a strong foothold in trustee services for government debt issues, such as the RM300 million Government Support Loan and the RM 6.4 billion loan for Syarikat Prasarana. Financial Highlights Trust products are the highest revenue generator for FY2001/2002. Heavy investments in IT equipment and marketing as well as promotional activities have resulted in the increase of expenses and reduction in profit before tax to RM9.95 million. The benefits from these investments will be realised in the future. Commendably, net tangible assets per share grew to RM7.96 against last year’s RM6.96. Meanwhile, shareholders’ funds rose from RM40.47 million to RM47.16 million as of 31 July 2002. Enhancing Corporate Governance ARB is committed to raising our standards of corporate governance, disclosure and transparency. Although ARB may not be a public-listed company yet, we intend to apply the strictest rules of governance in accordance with the best practices laid out in the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance. Throughout the financial year ended 31 July 2002, the Board Audit Committee and the Internal Audit Department have striven to identify potential risks and conflicts and apply adequate controls. The Board members have also attended all mandatory training courses as prescribed by the Companies Commission of Malaysia (formerly Registrar of Companies) and the Securities Commission. Dividends The Board of Directors is pleased to recommend a final dividend of 10 per cent less 28 per cent income tax. Since corporatisation six years ago, ARB has consistently paid a dividend of 10% to its shareholders. AMANAH R AYA BERHAD 23 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report yang mungkin berlaku dan menggunakan kawalan yang secukupnya. Ahli Lembaga Pengarah juga telah menghadiri kesemua kursus-kursus latihan yang telah ditetapkan oleh Suruhanjaya Syarikat (terdahulunya Pendaftar Syarikat) dan Suruhanjaya Sekuriti. Dividen Lembaga Pengarah dengan sukacita menyarankan dividen terakhir sebanyak 10 peratus ditolak cukai pendapatan 28 peratus. Sejak pengkorporatan enam tahun dahulu, ARB telah dengan konsisten membayar dividen sebanyak 10% kepada pemegang sahamnya. Prospek Pertumbuhan GDP diunjurkan pada 5 – 6 peratus pada tahun hadapan. Tetapi sekiranya senario berubah disebabkan faktor luaran seperti perang Amerika Syarikat – Iraq, krisis minyak, dan kegiatan pengganas di sana sini, mungkin perdagangan antarabangsa tergugat dan ekonomi terbuka Malaysia akan terjejas. Namun demikian, ARB bersikap optimis bahawa keamanan dan kemakmuran akan kekal di Malaysia, pasaran utama kami. Tinjauan Kewangan dan Strategi-Strategi Perniagaan Kami mengharapkan pertumbuhan sederhana dalam pasaran individu dan korporat yang sedia ada pada tahun kewangan akan datang. ARB akan terus meningkatkan kesedaran tentang produk-produknya, di samping membentuk produk-produk baru dan berkembang ke segmen pasaran baru yang berpotensi. Perkhidmatan Individu ARB akan menekankan perkhidmatan peramanahan individu dan pentadbiran pusaka yang mempunyai daya perkembangan bagi tahun kewangan 2003. Buat masa kini, perkhidmatan peramanahan individu merangkumi 33 peratus daripada perolehan sementara pentadbiran pusaka merangkumi 36 peratus. Kami berharap akan meningkatkan kesedaran awam tentang produk dan servis ARB melalui pendidikan berterusan. Sebagai negara membangun, minat terhadap peramanahan, wasiat dan pentadbiran pusaka masih kurang, dan ARB berhasrat mengembangkan penguasaan kami dalam pasaran runcit. Khususnya, ARB bercita-cita menempatkan amanah, wasiat dan pentadbiran pusaka sebagai produk-produk berpadu dan menyeluruh yang bertujuan memupuk perpaduan keluarga. ARB sedang menganjur usaha ke dalam pasaran perkhidmatan pelaburan peribadi di samping menggiatkan penabungan kebangsaan. Sebagai sebuah syarikat yang maju, kami sedang menubuhkan beberapa produk hibrid peramanahan dan pelaburan baru bagi beberapa ceruk pasaran. ARB telah membentuk wasiat bagi orang Islam dan mempunyai rancangan untuk melancarkan perkhidmatan “Hibah” atau “pemberian.” Melalui Hibah, pelanggan boleh menghadiahkan atau menyerahkan aset-aset kepada benefisiari semasa hayat mereka. Aset-aset ini pula akan diuruskan oleh ARB mengikut arahan pelanggan. Perkhidmatan Korporat Kami yakin bahawa industri dana saham amanah akan terus berkembang berlatarbelakangkan ekonomi yang semakin sihat. Kecairan masih tinggi dan institusi kewangan menggalak rakyat Malaysia menabung melalui penubuhan dana baru. Kini, ARB menjadi pemegang amanah kepada 52 dana saham amanah yang mempunyai nilai terkumpul melebihi RM42 bilion, bilangan unit melebihi 50 bilion dan merangkumi 30 peratus dana saham amanah tempatan. ARB akan mempromosi 24 AMANAH R AYA BERHAD perkhidmatan kami dengan giat untuk menegakkan penguasaan kami dalam bidang saham amanah. Buat masa kini, perkhidmatan ARB kepada dana saham amanah membentuk 30 peratus perolehan. Pada tahun kewangan 2003, ARB akan memasarkan perkhidmatan peramanahan bagi instrumen pinjaman dan dana persaraan dengan lebih agresif. Khidmat peramanahan semakin kritikal kerana syarikat awam tersenarai lebih giat membuat pelbagai terbitan sekuriti seperti ICULs (Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks), bon Islam dan aset bersekuriti. Syarikat yang sedang membuat penyusunan semula dan memerlukan pinjaman, seperti syarikat di bawah Nota Amalan 4, juga merupakan calon bagi perkhidmatan amanah ARB. Dengan penuaan penduduk Malaysia, dana persaraan persendirian mungkin lebih popular, dan akan memerlukan pemegang amanah. ARB juga mensasarkan kelab golf dan rekreasi sebagai pelanggan korporat. Seeloknya, kelab golf dan rekreasi menggunakan khidmat pemegang amanah untuk melindungi hak-hak ahli kelab dan mentadbir dana penjelas bagi membaikpulih dan mengawalselia padang, kelab golf dan lainlain peralatan riadah. Meningkatkan Penzahiran dan Urus Tadbir Korporat ARB bertekad meningkatkan penzahiran dalam tahun kewangan akan datang, dengan memperbaiki saluran komunikasi dengan pemegang saham. Maklumat terbaru tentang produk, perkhidmatan dan operasi boleh diakses di laman web ARB, www.arb.com.my, dan e-mel boleh ditujukan ke sales@arb.com.my. Dan ARB akan terus menerbitkan Eksklusif, majalah dalaman ARB yang juga berfungsi sebagai alat pemasaran dan komunikasi korporat. Kami telah mempelbagaikan penyusunan dan kecekapan Lembaga Pengarah dengan meramaikan ahli kepada tujuh orang. Hasilnya, ARB kini mempunyai tiga pengarah bebas bukan eksekutif (termasuk saya), seorang pengarah urusan, dan tiga pengarah bukan bebas bukan eksekutif. Saya mengalualukan kehadiran rakan-rakan baru saya dan yakin bahawa kecekapan dan pengalaman mereka akan mengukuhkan mutu dan prestasi ARB, terutamanya dalam peningkatan perniagaan dan urus tadbir korporat. Penghargaan Sekalung budi dihulurkan kepada semua pihak yang menjadi tunggak kejayaan ARB selama ini. Saya mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada semua pemegang saham, pelangganpelanggan, pengurus-pengurus, wargakerja serta ahli-ahli Lembaga Pengarah di atas sokongan anda. Berkat sokongan dan dokongan anda, ARB telah berkembang maju sebagai institusi peramanahan terulung sejak kelahirannya lapan puluh satu tahun dahulu pada 1hb Mei 1921. Saya yakin bahawa kedudukan ARB akan terus kukuh dan semakin maju pada dekad-dekad akan datang. Sebelum berakhir, saya merakamkan setinggi terima kasih kepada Dato’ Muraly Daran, bekas Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif ARB, di atas segala perkhidmatannya. Kini, Dato’ Muraly telah ditugaskan membentuk subsidiari Amanah Raya Capital Sdn Bhd menjadi sebuah entiti yang kuat dan bersasarkan jualan. Akhir kata, saya bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah mengalu-alukan kemasukan Encik Izham Yusoff sebagai Pengarah Urusan dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif baru. Beliau berpengalaman luas dalam bidang kewangan dan perancangan strategik dan saya yakin bahawa semua pihak akan bekerjasama dengan harmoni. Moga-moga nama ARB akan 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report Prospects The upcoming year looks set to be prosperous for the nation, with GDP growth projected at approximately 5 - 6 per cent. But in a worst-case scenario, unsettling external events such as an imminent US-Iraq war, a potential oil crisis, and spurts of terrorism around the globe may hinder world trade and affect Malaysia’s open economy. Nevertheless, ARB is sanguine that peace and prosperity will prevail in Malaysia, our primary market. Financial Outlook and Business Strategies Next financial year, we expect moderate growth in our existing retail and corporate markets. To drive revenue and profit growth, ARB will focus on improving the overall awareness of our services, while devoting resources to developing potential new products and market segments. Personal Services For FY2003, ARB will still emphasise the growth areas of personal trusts and estate administration services, which currently make up 33 per cent and 36 per cent respectively of revenues. Through continuing education, we hope to increase awareness of our products and services among Malaysians at large. As a developing nation, interest in trusts, wills and estate administration is still tepid, and we plan to extend our dominance in this promising retail market. In particular, ARB wants to position trusts, wills and legacy management as a holistic and integrated instrument for nurturing family cohesiveness. ARB is also expanding our reach in the growing market for personalised investment services, while galvanizing national savings. As a progressive company, we are developing new hybrid trust-and-investment products for various market niches. ARB has developed Islamic wills and is planning to launch Hibah or “gift” services. Through Hibah, clients convey assets to the beneficiaries of their choice during their lifetime. These assets are then managed by ARB in accordance with the client’s instructions. Corporate Services We believe unit trust funds will continue to flourish, given a recovering economy. Liquidity remains high and financial institutions are still tapping the Malaysian propensity to save by creating new trusts. Currently, ARB acts as trustee to 52 unit trusts in total, catering to about 30 per cent of local unit trusts with a combined net asset value of more than RM 42 billion and more than 50 billion units in total. We will continue to promote our services aggressively in order to maintain our leadership in the growing field of unit trusts. At present, our professional trustee services to unit trust funds make up 30 per cent of revenues. In FY2003, ARB will market our trustee services for debt instruments and pension funds with greater aggression. Trustee services are in growing demand as local public-listed companies introduce varied capital-raising exercises using instruments as diverse as ICULs (Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks), Islamic bonds and securitised assets. Companies undergoing restructuring, such as Practice Note 4 companies, could also be fertile, albeit riskier, clients for ARB’s services as they attempt to raise funding. Given the gradual greying of the country’s population, private pension funds may take root, and these too require trustees. Elsewhere, ARB is targeting golf and country clubs. Ideally, golf and country clubs should employ the services of trustees to protect clubmembers’ interests and administer sinking funds for the purposes of maintaining and repairing greens, clubhouses and other recreational amenities. Enhancing Disclosure and Corporate Governance ARB intends to substantially improve disclosure in the new financial year, by improving existing channels for communicating with stakeholders. Up-to-date information on products, services and operations can now be accessed at the official ARB website, www.arb.com.my, and e-mail can be sent to ARB at sales@arb.com.my. And ARB will continue publishing Eksklusif, the in-house ARB magazine that functions as a marketing and corporate communications vehicle. We have injected extra diversity into the composition and skills of our Board by increasing the number of directors to seven. As a result, we now have three independent non-executive directors (including myself), one managing director, and three nonexecutive, non-independent directors. I bid my new colleagues a warm welcome, and believe that their combined expertise holds tremendous potential and synergies for ARB, especially in the areas of business development and corporate governance. Acknowledgements Bouquets are in order for all parties who have contributed to ARB’s long-lived success. I extend my thanks and heartfelt appreciation to all our shareholders, customers, management and staff as well as my fellow Board members. Thanks to your backing and input, ARB has evolved into a preeminent trust institution since its inception eighty-one years ago on May 1st 1921. Given your unwavering support, I have every confidence that ARB’s longevity and prominence will be assured for decades to come. Finally, I wish to thank Dato’ Muraly Daran, the former Chief Executive Officer of ARB, for his invaluable services. Dato’ Muraly has now accepted the challenge of shaping subsidiary Amanah Raya Capital Sdn Bhd into a fighting fit and market-oriented entity. In his place, the Board welcomes the new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Encik Izham Yusoff, who brings extensive experience in strategic planning and finance to ARB. I have no doubt that we will work harmoniously together to hone ARB into a household name synonymous with trusts. Y. Bhg. Dato’ Sukri bin Hj.

Perniagaan-Perniagaan Teras Tahun kewangan 2002 merupakan suatu tahun yang mantap bagi ARB. Seperti pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya, perolehan dari perkhidmatan peramanahan perseorangan dan korporat menyumbangkan dua-pertiga pendapatan ARB, manakala satupertiga disumbang oleh perkhidmatan pentadbiran harta pusaka. Khidmat Peramanahan Nilai terkumpul akaun peramanahan yang diurus oleh ARB meningkat daripada RM959.36 juta pada 31 Julai 2001 kepada RM976.58 juta pada 31 Julai 2002. Jumlah pelanggan juga telah meningkat daripada 34, 416 kepada 37,285. Semua pelabur telah dibayar dividen pada kadar kompetitif sebanyak 5 peratus setahun bagi tahun kewangan 2002 Encik Izham bin Yusoff Pengarah Urusan dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif / Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer mengatasi kadar simpanan tetap yang sedia ada. Ini masih mampu dilakukan meskipun prestasi Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur merosot sebahagian besar tahun 2002 mengurangkan pulangan pelaburan ekuiti ARB. Mujurlah ARB berjaya menangkis kerugian dengan membuat pelaburan bijak dalam bon-bon, sekuriti pasaran kewangan dan sekuriti kerajaan. Ketika pasaran Malaysia dibanjiri wang, pengurus-pengurus mengambil peluang menubuhkan beberapa dana baru. ARB dilantik sebagai pemegang amanah kepada 6 dana baru, hasil usaha mendapatkan bahagian yang lebih besar di dalam pasaran dan kadar fee kompetitif yang ditawarkan. Pada 31 Julai 2002, ARB menjadi pemegang amanah saham kepada 50 dana dengan nilai keseluruhan melebihi RM42 bilion berbanding dengan bilangan dana sebanyak 44 buah bernilai RM42 bilion pada tahun 2001. Pengurusan Harta Pusaka Jumlah harta pusaka yang diuruskan oleh ARB telah meningkat kepada 16,296 kes bernilai RM127 juta berbanding dengan 17,164 kes bernilai RM111.67 juta pada tahun 2001. Terdapat kepentingan untuk memastikan harta pusaka yang ditinggalkan ditadbirkan dengan segera untuk manfaat dan kebaikan ahli keluarga dan waris. ARB mempromosi pengurusan harta pusaka bagi menimbulkan kesedaran kepada orang ramai tentang mustahaknya mereka menggunakan perkhidmatan ARB. Promosi dijalankan melalui edaran risalah dan iklan melalui media cetak dan elektronik. Pengurusan harta melibatkan beberapa instrumen penting seperti penulisan wasiat dan pelantikan ARB sebagai wasi ataupun Pentadbir. Ini akan menjamin harta yang dipunyai diuruskan dengan teratur demi kepentingan waris kita. Taksiran Operasi Bagi tahun kewangan 2002, ARB dapat memantapkan perolehan dan keuntungan sebelum cukai pada tahap sejajar dengan tahun kewangan 2001. Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Wargakerja adalah nyawa kepada kejayaan syarikat yang berorientasikan perkhidmatan. Oleh demikian ARB menekankan kepentingan melatih sumber intelek serta menyediakan alam sekitar yang memperkayakan peningkatan sumber manusia yang lebih profesional. Sepanjang tahun ARB menjalankan seminarseminar berteraskan latihan produk mengenai penulisan wasiat, peramanahan, pentadbiran pusaka dan hal-hal berkaitan seperti kewangan, pemasaran dan teknologi. Beberapa bengkel mengenai Peramanahan, Wasiat dan Pentadbiran Pusaka telah juga diadakan untuk manfaat kakitangan tempatan. 26 AMANAH R AYA BERHAD 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report Penggunaan komputer di semua cawangan telah meningkatkan produktiviti di kalangan wargakerja ARB dan telah membantu menyediakan perkhidmatan yang lebih efisyen dan cepat kepada pelanggan yang semakin bertambah. Full computerization at all branch offices has resulted in a surge in productivity among ARB staff, and helped us provide faster and more efficient services for our growing customer base. in FY2001. ARB has to stress the importance of managing legacy expeditionaly, in order to safeguard the financial welfare of families and beneficiaries. In addition, we are actively educating the public on the relevance and importance of ARB’s legacy management services. Currently, we are focusing our promotional efforts on distributing brochures, as well as advertising in the print and electronic media. Managing assets would require you to take important measures such as will-writing and appointing ARB as the Executor or Administrator of your estate. By taking these two crucial steps, we guarantee that your estate will be professionally managed in the best interests of your beneficiaries. Operations Review In FY2002, ARB successfully maintained revenues and pre-tax profits at levels similar to FY2001. Dear Stakeholders, As the new Managing Director at the helm of Malaysia’s preeminent trust company, I am pleased to present the review of ARB’s core businesses and operations for the year ended 31 July 2002. Developing Human Resources People are crucial to the success of a service-oriented company. Recognising this, ARB places great emphasis on developing intellectual capital, and providing a nourishing environment for personal and professional enhancement. Core Businesses FY2002 was a steady year for ARB. As in previous years, personal and corporate trustee services accounted for two-thirds of ARB’s revenues, while estate administration services made up the remaining one-third. Throughout the year, ARB conducted intensive product training seminars on will writing, trusts, estate administration and related operational functions like finance, information technology and marketing. A series of workshops on Trusts, Wills and Estate Administration were also held for the benefit of regional staff. Trusts Total trust funds under ARB’s management rose from RM959.36 billion as at 31 July 2001 to RM976.58 million as at 31 July 2002. The number of trust accounts has also increased from 34, 416 to 37,285. With an efficient and small workforce of 320, ARB employees are close-knit. Here at ARB, all staff are encouraged to bond closely with each other through work as well as special events like Family Day and Staff Appreciation Day. ARB rewarded accountholders with a competitive dividend rate of 5 per cent p.a. for FY2002, outpacing the prevailing fixed deposit rate despite the bearish mode of KLSE for much of FY2002 which subsequently affected the returns on ARB’s equity investments. ARB managed to mitigate negativity by prudently investing in diverse instruments such as bonds, money market securities and government paper. In the area of corporate trustee services, several new unit trust funds were launched as managers capitalised on the ample liquidity flooding the Malaysian market. Thanks to aggressive marketing and competitive pricing, ARB was appointed as trustee to 6 new funds. As at 31 July 2002, ARB stood as trustee to 50 funds with a net asset value of more than RM 42 billion. At end-FY2001, ARB was trustee to 44 funds valued with an approximate net asset value of RM42 billion. Legacy Management / Estate Administration The total value of the estates or legacies under ARB administration rose substantially to 16,296 cases valued at RM127 million against 17,164 cases valued at RM111.67 million Religious and social enlightenment is equally germane for staff welfare, and spills over to create a harmonious and serene family life. For the benefit of the Muslim-majority staff, ARB is building a well-equipped prayer room where religious classes and talks can be held in comfort. Capitalising on Information Technology Full computerization at all branch offices has resulted in a surge in productivity among ARB staff, and helped us provide faster and more efficient services for our growing customer base. ARB has plans to invest in Customer Relationship Management systems, which would enable us to provide personalized services that meet the varied demands of our retail and corporate clients. Improving Customer and Staff Satisfaction Nurturing customer awareness and satisfaction lies at the root of ARB’s long success. Throughout 2003, ARB will continue to hold public workshops and roadshows on trusts, will writing and legacy management. We anticipate a rousing response, based on full attendance at our earlier campaigns in 2001. Building awareness AMANAH R AYA BERHAD 27 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report Warga kerja di ARB yang terdiri dari 320 orang walaupun kecil, sungguh akrab. Di ARB, semua wargakerja digalakkan meningkatkan rasa kekeluargaan sama ada dalam bidang tugas atau pun pada peristiwa-peristiwa khas seperti Hari Keluarga dan Hari Penghargaan Wargakerja. Penghayatan ugama dan kesedaran tanggungjawab sosial memberi manfaat kepada kebajikan wargakerja dan akan melahirkan suasana kekeluargaan yang harmonis dan aman. Bagi wargakerja yang majoritinya beragama Islam, sebuah bilik solat di mana tazkirah dan ceramah-ceramah boleh dianjurkan sedang dibina. Matlamat Teknologi Informasi Penggunaan komputer di semua cawangan telah meningkatkan produktiviti di kalangan wargakerja ARB dan telah membantu menyediakan perkhidmatan yang lebih efisyen dan cepat kepada pelanggan yang semakin bertambah. ARB mempunyai rancangan untuk melabur dalam Sistem Pengurusan Perhubungan Pelanggan yang akan membolehkan kami menyediakan perkhidmatan lebih mesra bagi melayani permintaan pelanggan perseorangan ataupun korporat. Peningkatan Rasa Kepuasan Pelanggan dan Warga Kerja Menjana kesedaran dan kepuasan pelanggan merupakan teras kejayaan ARB. Sepanjang 2003, ARB akan meneruskan usaha mengadakan bengkel-bengkel umum dan pameran bergerak tentang peramanahan, penulisan wasiat dan pengurusan harta pusaka. Kami menjangka sambutan yang meriah berdasarkan kehadiran yang menggalakkan pada kempen-kempen awal tahun 2001. Meningkatkan kesedaran melalui pendidikan merupakan tugas asas di ARB kerana kurang 10 peratus penduduk Malaysia dilindungi peramanahan atau wasiat. Sayugia itu, kepuasan pelanggan adalah komponen terpenting kejayaan kami. Rancangan mengadakan perhubungan pelanggan dan pihak pengurusan melibatkan penubuhan pusat panggilan di ibu pejabat di mana semua pertanyaan pelanggan akan dilayan mengikut keutamaan. Wargakerja juga akan diberi kursus intensif sepanjang 2003 untuk meningkatkan kecekapan dan kemesraan. Peluang bagi pelanggan berhadapan dengan wargakerja yang mesra merupakan tunggak kejayaan ARB selama 80 tahun ini. Perkembangan rangkaian ke seluruh Malaysia akan menambahkan lagi peluang bagi pelanggan berinteraksi dengan ARB. Dua buah cawangan mini telah pun dibuka pada 1 Oktober 2002 di Bangi, Selangor dan di Temerloh, Pahang. Dua lagi cawangan mini sedang diusahakan di Sungai Petani, Kedah dan Kuala Krai, Kelantan untuk memenuhi keperluan komuniti di sana. Penutup Sektor perkhidmatan diunjurkan menjadi bertambah penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi Malaysia. ARB memegang kedudukan unik sebagai pembekal terbesar dan peneraju dalam industri peramanahan. Pada hari muka, perkhidmatan ARB dijangka berkembang pesat melalui pembaruan produk, pergabungan strategik, prasarana IT yang moden, serta pencapaian wargakerja produktif. Berkat pengalaman Lembaga Pengarah yang arif, serta sokongan setiap wargakerja, saya yakin bahawa ARB akan terus mencatat pertumbuhan mantap pada tahun 2003. Matlamat utama ARB adalah menyediakan kedudukan kewangan yang kukuh bagi keluarga. Melalui sistem pengurusan harta pusaka, kami membantu anda merancang serta menguruskan harta, membuat wasiat, dan menubuhkan dana amanah agar yang tersayang terpelihara semasa dan sesudah hayat anda. At ARB, a paramount goal is to weave a blanket of financial security for families. Through our legacy management system, we help you plan and protect assets, write wills and create trusts to ensure that loved ones are provided for, during and after your lifetime. through continuing education is a key task at ARB, since less than 10 per cent of the Malaysian population are protected via trusts and wills. Similarly, customer satisfaction is a crucial component of our success. Our ongoing customer relationship management plan entails setting up a call centre at headquarters where customer queries will then be prioritized according to urgency. Staff will also undergo intensive customer service training throughout 2003 to perfect their efficiency and human touch. Easy face-to-face access is also fundamental to ARB’s longevity. ARB’s human touch will expand as our branch network grows, improving our accessibility to clients across Malaysia. We now have two new mini branches at Bangi in Selangor and Temerloh in Pahang, which commenced operations on 1 October 2002. Two new mini-branches are being readied at Sungei Petani in Kedah and Kuala Krai in Kelantan to fulfil the needs of these niche communities. In Conclusion The service sector is projected to become an increasingly important component of the Malaysian economy as we head towards full economic development. ARB holds a unique position as the nation’s largest and leading service provider in the key trust industry. In years to come, I expect ARB to expand its range of services trough product innovation, strategic alliances, improved IT infrastructure and productive workforce. I am confident that ARB will continue to chart a steady growth in 2003 driven by the collective wisdom of the Board and the support of each and everyone of our staff.

The financial statements comply with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act 1965. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provision of the Companies Act, 1965 requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period.

The activities and assets of the various unit trusts and other funds in which the Company is the trustee are not included in these financial statements as they are separate entities. (b) Basis of consolidation Group consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies made up to the end of the financial year.

AMANAH R AYA BERHAD 41 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report Nota Kepada Penyata Kewangan - 31 Julai 2002 (sambungan) Notes To The Financial Statements - 31 July 2002 (continued) 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over its estimated useful life at the following annual rates of depreciation: Computer equipment Motor vehicles Office equipment, furniture and fittings Renovations (d) 20% 20% 10% -20% over the rental period Subsidiary company A subsidiary company is a company in which the Group has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. Investments in subsidiary companies are stated at cost except where the Directors are of the opinion that there is a permanent diminution in the value of the investment, in which case, allowance is made for the diminution in value. Permanent diminution in the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the period in which diminution is identified. (e) Receivables Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Known bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified and specific allowance is made for any considered to be doubtful of collection. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the financial year end. (f) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and bank balances, demand deposits, bank overdraft and short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The corresponding obligations due under the hire purchase agreements after deducting finance charges are included as hire purchase payables while finance charges are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the respective hire purchase agreements. (h) Dividends Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when declared. 42 AMANAH R AYA BERHAD 2002 laporan tahunan • annual report Nota Kepada Penyata Kewangan - 31 Julai 2002 (sambungan) Notes To The Financial Statements - 31 July 2002 (continued) 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (i) Deferred tax The tax expense is determined on the basis of tax effect accounting using the liability method. Deferred tax is recognised for timing differences except when there is reasonable evidence that such timing differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The tax effect on timing difference that results in a debit balance or a debit to the deferred tax balance is not carried forward unless there is a reasonable expectation of its realisation. (j) Retirement benefits The Company has made provisions to an unapproved and unfunded retirement benefit scheme for eligible employees. The scheme requires amounts to be set aside into a trust fund and to a book provision. The amounts set aside are based on past service liabilities, an actuarially determined cost that gives employees credit for benefits for service prior to valuation date and future service liabilities, an actuarially determined cost in respect of service after the valuation date.
