Competitive Strengths (continued) 2. High OER to ensure our mill remain competitive :» Higher OER from mills generate higher processing margin for mills and enable our mills to offer competitive FFB price to attract external crops. This also improves efficiency in terms of oil yield per Ha. Keningau mill Telupid mill 24
Competitive Strengths (continued) 3. Improved efficiency and additional income from wastes in Mill The Group has achieved complete integration of milling operations resulting in improved efficiency and at the same time generating additional income from wastes. We have positively contributed towards reducing the pollution impact of our palm oil mills on the environment and improved sustainability of palm oil production. Some of our projects in improving efficiency and conversion of wastes through new innovation and technology are as follows: - PFOE plant in our Kota Tinggi mill & Keningau mill The plants extract residual oil from pressed fibre and increase OER by about 0.5%. Profit after tax based on average selling price of RM2,037/MT in FY2016 is RM0.9 million from Kota Tinggi mill. 25
Competitive Strengths (continued) 3. Improved efficiency and additional income from wastes in Mill (Cont d) - Biogas project at Kota Tinggi mill, Keningau mill & Telupid mill. This project reduces greenhouse gas emissions from palm oil mill effluent by capturing the methane gas emissions to generate power / steam, thereby reducing environmental impact of milling operations and also supply power to various plants and quarters. Gas engines are being installed in all biogas plants to generate power more efficiently. The Group has taken steps to apply to SEDA and TNB / SESB to supply power to the Grid. The 1 st plant in Kota Tinggi mill has commenced operations in November 2013 and our gas engine system in Keningau and Telupid mills have commenced operations in FY2016. Our gas engine system will help to conserve shell for sale. 26
Competitive Strengths (continued) 3. Improved efficiency and additional income from wastes in Mill (Cont d) Currently, we have obtained Sustainable Energy Development Authority ( SEDA ) approval for 1.8 megawatt for Kota Tinggi mill and 2.0 megawatt for Keningau mill. We have applied for another 2.0 megawatt for our Telupid mill. Kota Tinggi mill has purchased gas engines and awarded interconnection system contract. Target commissioning by 1 st quarter of 2017. - Sale of surplus shell to replace usage of fossil fuel. The revenue for FY2016 from the sale of shell to third parties is RM8.0 million from our three mills. 27
Competitive Strengths (continued) 4. Commitment to improve efficiency in Plantation Latest planting material and technology is used to improve yield potential from plantation operations. Recycling mill wastes to improve soil conditions in plantations. To improve productivity and reduce reliance on foreign labour through mechanisation on suitable activities and areas. 28
Competitive Strengths (continued) 5. Management Capability» The Group management has over 40 years experience in oil palm industry.» Capable managers and supporting staffs in all business entities.» Ability to identify commercially viable projects for expansion or diversification backed by strong in-house research capability. 29
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND STRATEGIES 30
Near Term Prospect Plantation» The Group s FFB production for FY2018 is expected to recover significantly from the low FFB production recorded in FY2017.» Our main focus in the near term is to secure and plant up the NCR land and state land within our project area in Sarawak. We expect more contribution from our young palms from Johor, new planting in Sarawak and replanting in Sabah.» The Group s performance is expected to be satisfactorily for the FY2017 based on strong CPO and PKO prices in the 4 th quarter.» Continual replanting programme for old palms. 31
Near Term Prospect (continued) Mill» We expect the profits from our milling operations would be lower in FY2017 as the CPO production quantity is expected to be lower than the quantity achieved in FY2016 and lower margin due to stiff competition.» Estimated sales of excess palm kernel shells to third parties is about RM7.0 million from our three mills in FY2017.» Both palm fiber and solvent extraction plants ( PFOE ) in our Kota Tinggi and Keningau mills are running satisfactorily, contributing revenue and profit for the Group. 32
Development of Downstream Projects (continued) Implementation of long fibre project In January 2014, the Group has successfully implemented and commissioned a plant capable of extracting dried long fibre from empty fruit bunch ( EFB ) which is normally considered as waste product from palm oil milling. Dried long fibre can be processed into various dimensions and grades to suit specific application for export such as: - mattress and cushion production - erosion control mat / blanket for landscaping and horticulture - medium density fibre board manufacturing - moulded wares and composite material production - paper and pump production - Bio-crete - acoustics control This dried long fibre plant is expected to contribute positively (though may not be significant) to the Group s overall revenue and profitability in coming years. 33
KLR Group s Future Plan KLR s future plans are as follows: To source for additional plantation land in Johor, Pahang, Sabah and Sarawak. However, RSPO restrictions is a major contraint. To look into the possibility of setting up a palm oil mill in Sarawak. Utilisation of de-oiled fibre and empty fruit bunches as raw materials for other downstream products. To generate power from biogas for sale to TNB national and Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd. grid. 34
