ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS REQUIRED BY APPENDIX 9B OF BURSA MALAYSIA LISTING REQUIREMENTS
1) Review of the Performance of the Company and Its Principal Subsidiaries
The Group's pre-tax profit for FY2006 was RM1.18 billion, lower by 3% as compared to the RM1.22 billion reported for FY2005.
The marginal decrease is due mainly to higher net interest charges and lower profit contributions from the associates.
Operating profit is however maintained at previous year's level of RM1.23 billion. The lower profit contributions from our palm
oil business (plantation and manufacturing segments) were mitigated by higher profit from the property segment and foreign
exchange translation gain on USD denominated borrowings.
Plantation earning of RM636.3 million for FY2006 was 17% lower than previous year. Average CPO price for FY2006 decreased
by 5% to RM1,386 per MT as compared to RM1,453 per MT realised for FY2005 whilst FFB production increased marginally
from 3,657,776 MT for FY2005 to 3,674,483 MT for FY2006. Apart from lower CPO price realised, the decrease in plantation
earnings by 17% was also attributable to a relatively higher level of production still held in inventory, and higher Sabah sales tax
of 7.5% for H1 FY2006 as compared to 5% for H1 FY2005.
For the resource-based manufacturing segment (including associates), operating results for FY2006 was 21% lower than FY2005
at RM178.7 million. Performance for this segment was below expectation due mainly to provision for impairment of goodwill on a
subsidiary in Canada, inventory write-offs and the interruption of operations arising from the tank explosion in February 2006 at
an associate company which is also a major customer of our oleochemicals business. This accident resulted in loss of profit
contributions from both the associate and subsidiary companies involved.
The property business performed above expectation against a softer housing market backdrop to achieve a higher operating profit
for FY2006 at RM368.3 million, compared to RM319.9 million achieved in FY2005, a 15% improvement. This was due mainly
to higher sales of commercial properties and improvement in rental and occupancy rates of investment properties.
At net earnings level, the following factors has affected the comparability of results between FY2006 and FY2005:
i) The tax rate for the FY2006 is higher than FY2005 because of the backdated tax incentives granted by the tax authority
taken up in FY2005.
ii ) Minority interest for FY2006 is lower than FY2005 because of the privatisation of IOI Oleochemical Industries Berhad as
well as the increase in equity interest in other subsidiaries such as IOI Properties Berhad.
The net earnings of the Group for FY2006 was RM843.8 million, which is 6.5% lower than the RM902.2 million for FY2005
mainly because of the reasons as explained above.
In the opinion of the Directors, the results for the financial period under review have not been affected by any transaction or event
of a material or unusual nature which may have arisen between 30 June 2006 and the date of this announcement.

2) Material Change in Profit Before Taxation for the Current Quarter as Compared with the Immediate Preceding Quarter
Profit before taxation for the current quarter is about the previous quarter's level. All major segments reported higher profit for the
current quarter. Operating profit was however flat as the higher contributions from the major segments were offset by lower
translation gain on USD denominated borrowings (included under unallocated corporate income) as compared to the preceding
quarter.
The analysis of contribution by segment is as follows:

* Translation gain on USD denominated
borrowings included in unallocated corporate
income 9,917 67,518 (57,601)
3) Current Year Prospects
CPO prices are on the uptrend and are expected to average at significantly higher levels. Crop yields are also expected to recover
this year. Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group's results for the current financial year is expected to be
significantly better, principally as a result of much higher anticipated plantation earnings.

52,113 50,441 211,241 134,341
The tax expense for the previous year corresponding period is significantly lower due mainly to adjustment to over-provision of
prior years taxation following the tax incentive obtained for the acquisition of Loders Croklaan under the Income Tax (Deduction
for Cost on Acquisition of A Foreign Company) Rules 2003.
Apart from the afore-mentioned, the effective tax rates of the Group for the current year and current quarter are lower than the
statutory tax rate due principally to the utilisation of previously unrecognised tax losses, capital and agricultural allowances as well
as tax incentives available to the Company and certain subsidiaries and associates.
6) Profit on Sale of Unquoted Investments and/or Properties
There were no material disposal of unquoted investments and/or properties outside the ordinary course of business of the Group

11) Material Litigations
There are no new material litigation nor significant changes to the status of material litigations which are pending disposal in the
courts since 30 June 2005. For ease of reference, the material litigations brought forward are detailed below:
a) IOI Corporation Berhad
i) A minority shareholder of IOI Oleochemical Industries Berhad ("IOI Oleo"), Tuan Haji Zulkifli bin Haji Hussain ("the Applicant")
has on 26 July 2000 obtained an Ex-parte Order For Leave to apply for an Order of Mandamus against the Securities Commission
to compel the Securities Commission to direct the Company to make a mandatory general offer on the remaining shares of IOI
Oleo not owned by the Company.
Notwithstanding that the Company was not a party to the above proceedings, in order to protect the interests of the Company, the
Company has applied and has been allowed to be joined as a party to the aforesaid court action on 1 November 2000. Subsequent
thereto, the Company has instructed its solicitors to make the necessary application to set aside the Order For Leave and to strike
out the Applicant's Notice of Motion for an Order of Mandamus. The Company had successfully completed a mandatory general
offer on IOI Oleo in October 2001. The High Court had on 20 December 2004 struck out with costs the Applicant's Notice of
Motion for an Order of Mandamus and the Applicant has since filed an appeal against the said decision.
On 15 March 2006, the Company had completed the privatisation of IOI Oleo by way of a members' scheme of arrangement under
Section 176 of the Companies Act, 1965 and IOI Oleo is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Board, based on legal advice, is of the opinion that the Company has valid grounds to succeed in this litigation.
ii) A civil suit has been instituted by Tuan Haji Zulkifli Bin Hussain and 6 others, the shareholders/former shareholders of IOI
Oleochemical Industries Berhad ("IOI Oleo") against the Company, its Executive Chairman Tan Sri Dato' Lee Shin Cheng and its
Executive Director, Dato' Lee Yeow Chor. The Writ of Summons and the Statement of Claim, inter alia, alleged that the
defendants are under an obligation pursuant to Rule 34.1 of the Malaysian Code on Take-Overs and Mergers, 1987 to extend a
mandatory general offer to the plaintiffs to acquire their shares in IOI Oleo and have sought for damages by reason of alleged
failure by the defendants to extend the said general offer.
The plaintiffs' claim in this suit is based on similar facts that gave rise to the mandamus proceeding initiated by the first plaintiff in
the High Court of Kuala Lumpur against the Securities Commission, as disclosed under item 11(a)(i), in which the Company and
Tan Sri Dato' Lee Shin Cheng were subsequently allowed to be joined as parties to the said mandamus proceeding.
The Company had been advised by its solicitors that it has genuine and valid defences to advance against the plaintiffs' cause of
actions and the claims made therein.

Plantations Sdn Bhd ("PPSB"), Unilever plc and its subsidiary Pamol (Sabah) Ltd. The Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim
are dated 4 December 2002 and inter-alia, alleged that the Defendants have wrongfully refused or failed to continue with the Share
Sale Agreement (to which PPSB is a party but not Unipamol) and Shareholders' Agreement (to which both PPSB and Unipamol
are parties). The Plaintiffs are claiming for, inter-alia, special damages of RM43.47 million, general damages of RM136.85
million or such amount as may be assessed, exemplary damages, interest and costs. Unipamol and PPSB have entered an
