Dear Valued Shareholders,
As stated in my Statement at the last

embark on strengthening its position
as a developer of choice among
house buyers through innovative and
contemporary themed development.

its nimble and innovative approach
to market changes, adapting and
responding to challenges quickly and
astutely.

31. CREDITABLE PERFORMANCE
In 2013, many economies continued to be
affected by the sluggish US recovery, prolonged
European debt crisis and the worries of slower
growth in China. At the domestic front, the
long waiting period for conducting the Thirteen
General Election in the first half of the year and
fresh property tightening measures introduced
under the Budget 2014 in the last quarter of 2013
weighed down our key markets.
Despite reduced sales of high-end residential
homes, our diversification strategy in products
segment has enabled LBS to ride through the
challenges to deliver a creditable set of results.
For financial year 2013, the Group’s Profit After
Tax has surged tremendously and recorded at
about tenfold increase, up from RM39.0 million
to its historical high of RM397.1 million. We owe
this sterling performance mainly due to the gain
arising from the disposal of Lamdeal Consolidated
Development Limited and Lamdeal Golf &
Country Club Limited for a total consideration
of HKD1.65 billion and profit contribution from
encouraging take up rates of the on-going and
launched projects.
The Group recorded Revenue and Profit Before
Tax of approximately RM534 million and RM427
million respectively. These represent 5% increase
in revenue and 469% increase in PBT over the
results recorded in the year 2012.
SHAREHOLDERS’ VALUE CREATION
During the year, the Group had announced the
implementation of the dual dividend policies:
1. Normal Dividend Policy where the
distribution is based on payout rate of at least
30% of the Company’s profits after taxation
from its ordinary business operations for each
financial year.
2. Special Dividend Policy where the
distribution is based on the receipt of the
deferred cash payment from the disposal of
investment in China which is expected to be
received in 4 tranches from year 2014 to 2017
with a payout rate of 6 sen per share or up
to 40% of each tranche receipt, whichever is
lower.

32. The corporate focus realignment coupled with
the Dua Dividend Policies, LBS is confident of
delivering sustainable return to shareholders.
For financial year 2013, the Group had declared
and paid a Special Dividend of 8 sen per ordinary
share (tax exempt dividend) from the receipt of
the first cash payment of HKD500 million arising
from the disposal of investment in China and an
interim single tier dividend of 1.5 sen per ordinary
share of RM1.00 each from its ordinary course of
business.
In addition to the above, the Board has
recommended a Final Single Tier Dividend of 1.5
sen per ordinary share of RM1.00 each for the
financial year 2013. Subject to the shareholders’
approval at the forthcoming Fourteenth Annual
General Meeting on the declaration of Final Single
Tier Dividend, the dividend declared for the entire
financial year ended 31 December 2013 shall be 3
sen per share representing 31% of the Group’s
earnings from ordinary course of business.
CORPORATE STRATEGY REVIEW
Following a strategy review, the Group was
reorganized and re-aligned its focus into
homeland development which takes two forms:
by geographical and by structure. The revised
corporate strategy in realigning its focus back
to homeland allows LBS to sharpen its edge and
better leverage and harness synergies across the
4 core states where it has strong presence while
extending its foothold in other up and coming
cities. This also enables the Group to achieve
greater economies of scale and enhance its
competitive advantage in its integrated township
project and deepen its position in affordable
homes segment.
The Group recorded
Revenue and
Profit Before Tax
of approximately
rM534 million and
rM427 million
respectively.

33. With incoming war-chest from the disposal of
investment in China, we adopted replenishment
strategy for our land bank, optimising the state-
wide layout of property projects and acquiring
quality land plots in other potential growth
cities with equilibrium combination by structure
of outright purchase or joint venture. While
implementing this strategy, we seek to strike a
balance between geographical exposure, risks
and synergy effect.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
Greater Potential Earnings foothold
During the year, the Group continues its
business rationalisation and expansion activities
by acquiring the equity interests from the
minority shareholders of Wirama Era Baru
Sdn Bhd (“WEBSB”), Dataran Enigma Sdn Bhd
(“DESB”), Utuh Sejagat Sdn Bhd (“USSB”) and
MITC Engineering Sdn Bhd (“MITCE”). These
acquisitions have rendered USSB became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group while
increasing its stakes in WEBSB, DESB and MITCE.
Consequently, enables the Group to gain better
control and recognition of greater potential
earnings deriving from the projects development
under these companies.
Optimising Capital for Greater Return
The sealed Sale and Purchase Agreement in April
2013 to dispose of the Group’s equity interest in
two subsidiaries owning the Zhuhai Lakewood
Golf Club and the 197-acre development land
surrounding this golf club for HKD1.65 billion was
completed and concluded in August 2013.
The deal enabled us to further strengthen the
balance sheet which shown an improvement
on earnings per share, net asset value and net
asset per share while reducing gearing ratio via
the receipt of cash proceeds of HKD500 million,
225,563,909 new share in Zhuhai Holdings
Investment Group Limited (Stock Code: 0908)
(“Zhuhai Holdings”), a public company listed on
the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Promissory
Notes of HKD850 million payable in four annual
instalments from 2014 to 2017.
The completion of this divestment has emerged
LBS as a substantial shareholder in Zhuhai
Holdings and continue our presence in China.
Through the shares held in Zhuhai Holdings, we
may reap greater benefits by sharing potential
profits not only from the disposed business in
golf club and property development, but also
from other business activities of Zhuhai Holdings
who is also in hospitality and leisure, maritime
passenger transportation and port management.
With the war-chest in hand, we will leverage
our strong balance sheet to seize investment
opportunities that arise and continue to employ
capital for higher return and weigh all available
opportunities so as to maximize the return from
our investments.

greater economies of

Opportunistic Approach in
other Promising Market
Capitalizing on the booming Iskandar Malaysia,
we strengthen our presence in the state of
Johor by extending our footprint in the Zone A
of this southern economic zone with acquisition
of a piece of freehold land measuring 1.18 acres
for residential and commercial purposes with
estimated GDV of approximately RM500.0
million.
The new joint venture project with Perbadanan
Kemajuan Negeri Pahang to develop a piece of
12.4 acres land in Bandar Indera Mahkota, Kuantan
marked our first step in the east coast city.
In October 2013, the Company had through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Dragon Hill Corporation
Limited, exercised its right to acquire 100% equity
interest in Lamdeal Investment Limited (“LIL”) at
a total consideration of USD1.00 only. LIL is an
investment company involving in racing circuit
project. LIL has set up joint venture in China in
year 1992 through a sino-foreign cooperative joint
venture entity, known as Zhuhai International
Circuit Limited (“ZICL”) to jointly develop and
operate China’s first professional racing track
(“ZIC Circuit”). This exercise has rendered LIL a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LBS and accordingly
ZICL became a 60%-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Despite the gestation period for this investment
is long, the Group foresees huge potential in the
ZIC Circuit which currently occupies some 264
acres of prime land. It is strategically located
next to the Lakewood Golf Club and the 197-
acre mixed property development project. The
decision to bring back ZIC Circuit into the Group
will maintain the Group’s presence in China and
may in the future provide another opportunity for
the Group’s venture into property development.
We consider the acquisition of LIL to be viable
long-term investment that would contribute
significantly towards enhancing value to
shareholders in the future.
Commitment to Innovations
The Group’s vision on becoming an internationally
recognized developer has earned numbers of
Awards from its development projects and
marketing campaigns and programmes in year
2013.
Our flagship high-end development D’ Island
Residence was awarded the Best Urban Scenic

2014 OUTLOOK AND PROSPECT
The gradual improvement in the global economy
experienced in 2013 is expected to continue in
2014 supported by a broader economic recovery in
the advanced econonmies and sustained growth
in the emerging economies where the Malaysia
economy is expected to remain resilient in 2014
with projection conservative economic growth
of 4.5%-5.5% in 2014 which will be supported by
favourable domestic demand and an improving
external environment. Even though domestic
consumption remain stable, property industry
in Malaysia will be facing challenges from
consumers conscious of rising cost of living and
reduced purchasing power as a result of increase
in prices of properties, goods and services despite
the government various initiatives or measures.
However, we remain confident that the Group
will be able to ride out the uncertainties at the
back of a healthier balance sheet and stronger
cash position. The Group has the greater capacity
now to step up acquisitions of well-located and
promising sites coupled with our affordable
homes series which continue to receive
encouraging supports.
Moving forward, the Group will continue
to embark on strengthening our position as
a developer of choice among house buyers
through innovative and contemporary themed
development. We shall continue to leverage on
the demand for affordable residential, lifestyle
themed residential and selected commercial
development.

Dear Valued Shareholders,
In 2013, Malaysia’s economy posted a growth
at a fastest pace of 5.1% in the fourth quarter
which was above expectations of 4.8%,
underpinned by the stronger manufacturing
and services sectors. Despite the prolonged
weakness in the external environment and
lacklustre recovery in global markets, the
Malaysia’s economy grew at 4.7% in year 2013
which is fuelled by the sound momentum
of private consumption and investment
supported by stable employment conditions
and sustained wage growth where the
property industry particularly in residential
sector generally remained encouraging in year
2013.

37. At the beginning of year 2013, sales had been
sluggish due to the uncertainties of the general
election date. Momentum has been picking up
after the election however it was subdued again
after the Government introduced a series of
property cooling measures under its Budget 2014,
this includes increasing Real Property Gain Tax,
raising threshold for foreign property purchasers
to RM1.0 million and the prohibition of Developer
Interest Bearing Scheme, with the aim of ensuring
a more stable and sustainable property market
where property prices moved in tandem with
economic fundamentals. The risks were mitigated
by Group’s competitive products featured with
affordability and its strategic location. The Group
achieved its total sales of RM621 million which
was mainly derived from its high-end residential
project D’ Island Residence in Puchong, medium-
cost projects such as Pearl Villa, Royal Ivory 2,
Royal Garden, BSP Skypark, I-Hub Puchong in
Bandar Saujana Putra, Brinchang Square, The Vines
and SomerSquare in Cameron Highlands and Min
Garden in Batu Pahat.
Despite of a more challenging environment,
overall 2013 was a fruitful year for LBS. The Group
has charted another milestone where the Group
has reap a huge Profit After Tax with ten-fold
jump hitting RM397.3 million, from RM39 million
last year, attributed to the disposal of its two
investments in China for a total consideration of
HKD1.65 billion and revenue growth from its core
property developments in Malaysia.
Revenue recorded at RM533.5 million in year 2013.
Profit after tax from ordinary operations increased
to RM49 million in 2013, up 25.6% from to RM39
million. The revenue growth was largely attributed
to smooth progress work of the Group’s on-
going projects in Bandar Saujana Putra, Puchong,
Cameron Highlands and Batu Pahat which were
underpinned by the rising demand for medium and
medium-high end properties.
Net asset per shares has increased to RM1.84
representing an increase of 57% as compared to
financial year 2012. Basic earnings per share surged
by to 96.1 sen from 9.6 sen last year while gearing
ratio has reduced by 46% from 0.81 times in 2012 to
0.44 times in year 2013.

Property development activities continue to
spearhead the Group’s revenue contribution. In

OVERSEAS OPERATIONS
Zhuhai International Circuit
After the disposal of investments in China, LBS
had in October acquired 60% interest of Zhuhai
International Circuit (ZIC) via exercising the
option to acquire the entire interest of Lamdeal
Investment Limited for total consideration of
USD1.00 only.
ZIC is a prestigious car racing site of international
recognition visited by many from around the world.
ZIC was the first permanent motor racing circuit
built in China. Completed in November 1996 to
host China’s first international motor race event,
the 4.3 km long circuit has since become a hub for
Motorsports enthusiasts from all over the world.
Built to exacting international standards and
approved by the FIA (Federation Internationale
DeL’Automobile), the race track offers challenging
corners for spectacular overtaking maneuvers to
world class drivers.
Despite the gestation period for this business is
long, in view of its potential opportunity for the
Group to venture into property development, we
consider it to be viable long-term investment that
would contribute significantly towards enhancing
value to shareholders in the future.
Zhuhai Holdings Investment Group Limited
(Zhuhai Holdings)
The disposal of investment in China has emerged
LBS to be the second largest shareholder in Zhuhai
Holdings.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2013,
revenue of Zhuhai Holdings recorded HK$1,107.8
million, representing an increase of about 14.5%
as compared to approximately HK$967.5 million
(restated) of last year. Profit for the year recorded
at HK$250.8 million, comparing to HK$118.6 million
(restated) for last year. Basic earnings per share
for the year 2013 were HK17.23 cents as compared
to HK6.18 cents last year. With the commendable
results, Zhuhai Holdings recommends final
dividend of HK$2 cents and special dividend of
HK$1 cent for financial year 2013 to be paid in June
after the approval of shareholders. Accordingly,
this would bring dividend income of about HK6.8
million to LBS in the financial year 2014.
As for the 197-acre development project in
Lakewood Golf Club, preliminary works such
as planning and construction design were
commenced in December 2013. Phase 1 of the

2014 OUTLOOK AND GROUP PROSPECTS
As I pen these thoughts, we have already seen
Malaysian economy advanced 6.2 percent year-
on-year in the first quarter of 2014 driven by
resilient domestic demand and stronger export.
Global economy is anticipated to pick up this year
however as we could see in the first 4 months,
it is continuing with its slow pace, creating both
opportunities and challenges as it does so.
In responding to the challenging market
environment, the Group is currently in its planning
stage for the launch of Centrum in Cameron
Highland, an integrated township development on
a piece of 98-acre land in heart of Brinchang with
estimated GDV of RM2.7 billion and the BSP 21 in
BSP.
In reaping the opportunities in the changing
economy development, we see the vast inherent
potential in other growth cities which we have
already embarked on the replenishment strategy
for our land bank after the completion of the
disposal of investment in China. I was glad to note
that in the past 4 months, we have successfully
seized 4 projects with estimated total GDV of
RM3.6 billion into our landbank:
• Joint venture property development project
on a piece of 5.35-acre land in Gohtong Jaya,
Pahang with estimated GDV of RM370 million;
• Two parcels of lands measuring 4.32 acres
acquired through tender from Employee
Provident Fund for a total consideration of
RM71.8 million. These lands are adjacent to the
1.18 acres of land acquired in 2013 located in the
Center Business District, Zone A of Iskandar
Malaysia, Johor, making these three parcels of
lands a 5.5-acre land that brings to greater GDV
of RM2.0 billion.
• One parcel of 6.25-acre land in Kota Kinabalu,
Sabah for a total consideration of RM72.5
million with estimated GDV of RM450 million.
• Joint venture project in three parcels of lands
measuring 10.6 acres in Tampoi, Johor for an
estimated GDV of RM815 million.
The realignment of corporate focus to its
homeland will in essence enable us to enhance and
concentrate the source of income synergistically
and thus provide better return on investment to
our stakeholders. Applying the prudent manner
and mitigating risks would continue to the leading
approach in executing this strategy.
Moving forward, we will continue to manage
and evaluate the development of all our projects
caters to different potential market segments
from affordable, mid to high-end developments.
We would continue in re-strategizing LBS business
model, revamping products and marketing
strategies in turning or shaping its vision to be an
international recognised developer, building and

living into reality through building inspiring living
spaces and sustainable communities.
APPRECIATION
Although 2014 may be challenging, the Group’s
core values of passion, unity and progressive
innovation, coupled with teamwork, resilience and
an unflinching commitment towards excellence
will drive LBS through the uncertain environment.
The Group will stay focus and nimble to seize
opportunities and achieve sustainable growth and
value for all our stakeholders.
I would like to express my fellow directors
for invaluable counsel and guidance. To the
management and staff, thank you for your hard
work and dedication in building LBS to what it
is today. At the same time, I would also like to
