The group’s revenue took a dip as opposed to the preceeding<br />
year. The revenue for 2012 stood at RM148.8 million as compared<br />
to RM50.2 million in 2011. The EBITDA for the year 2012 closed<br />
at a loss of RM9,205 as opposed to RM64,402 for 2011.<br />
The shortfall in student enrollment caused the decline in<br />
revenue. The Group’s financial performance for the year was bad,<br />
however our balance sheet is strong to weather the challenges.<br />
Against this backdrop, the Company will moderately expand<br />
business through overseas student recruitment, international<br />
school initiative and foreign partnership.<br />

I am delighted to report that the launching of MEGB’s new<br />

commitment to provide higher quality learning opportunities for<br />
Malaysians.<br />

The full-fledged campus is equipped with state of the art facilities<br />
to provide a range of academic courses, particularly in niche<br />
management areas.<br />
As for the year under review, the decline in profits was mainly<br />
due to lower student enrolment. There were many hurdles<br />
that the group had to overcome and the relentless struggles to<br />
overcome these obstacles are still ongoing.<br />
The PTPTN loan scheme which was reduced from RM60,000<br />
to RM45,000 for each diploma students is just one of the many<br />
hurdles in the path of the Group.<br />
The decision by the Malaysian Nursing Board to increase<br />
the minimum entry requirement for the diploma in nursing<br />
programme from 3 credits to 5 credits at the Sijil Pelajaran<br />
Malaysia (SPM) was another underlining factor to the obstacles<br />
faced by MEGB.<br />
As MEGB realized the blistering change in the pace of the macro<br />
environment, the Group endeavored to rise to the challenge that<br />
would take MEGB to a higher plateau in the educational front.<br />
With the recent signing of the MoU between Dr. Lyndon Jones,<br />
the Founder Chairman of the Association of Business Executives<br />
(ABE), UK with MEGB, AMU and MGC are now able to open<br />
their doors to students across Malaysia who are intending to<br />
pursue their Certificates to Graduate Diploma levels in ABE<br />
which allow students to pursue an MBA qualification.
