Chairman’s Statement ... cont’d
The above proposals will increase the share capital base of the Company to a level which will better reflect
the Company’s current scale of operations and at the same time will reward our shareholders for their
continuous support to the Group.
The Company has also proposed an Executive Share Option Scheme of up to ten percent (10%) of the issued
and paid-up share capital of the Company. The proposed scheme is intended to recognise and reward the
contribution of eligible executives whose services are valued and considered vital to the operations and
continued growth of the Company.
Our medium to long term vision is to turn I-Berhad into a high tech company producing high tech products
remains intact. Opportunities are now presenting themselves to enable the Company to move into the
IT sector.
Plans are afoot for the Company to venture into the manufacture of computers and peripherals as the
first step towards achieving the Company’s objective to eventually make products for the Home of
the Future.
I am very grateful that all shareholders have stayed with the Company and given your continued support
during the difficult times the Company went through. Today, the Management has given the Company a new
lease of life that will eventually add value to your investment.
I am confident that the Company, will achieve greater heights in profitability, and is poised to grow even
stronger in the years ahead.
The Board is pleased to recommend a final tax exempt dividend of 1%, subject to the approval of the
Ministry of Finance.
I would like to thank the Management and staff for their dedication, support and hard work; and also wish
to express my appreciation to the shareholders, customers, business associates and bankers for their
continued support.
