LBS hit RM0.67 before closing at RM0.64 on last Friday. The share price
of LBS accelerated in Dec 2009 after breaking out from the key level of
RM0.52, and hit a high of RM0.85 in Feb 2010. However, the stock gave up all
its gain by May 2010 and trended sideways near RM0.52 for the past months.
In mid Oct, the stock removed the RM0.52 level and rallied to a high of RM0.67
before closing at RM0.64 on last Friday, on the dot of a resistance level. It
recorded a positive candle to shrug off the previous day’s bearish candle. This
displays an optimistic sign on the share price chart.

♦ We recently had a meeting with management to discuss all three of their
divisions’ developments and prospects.


QL Resources Berhad : Expansions To Start Contributing From FY12 Onwards - 25/10/2010

Economic Highlights - Foreign Exchange Reserves Rose To US$104.6bn As At 15 October - 25/10/2010

◆ The foreign exchange reserves rose by US$3.9bn in 1H October to US$104.6bn as at 15 October, albeit by
a smaller magnitude compared with an increase of US$4.8bn in 2H September. This was due to the repatriation of
export proceeds and inflow of foreign portfolio funds, which were offset partially by the payment of import bills. Also,
the increase in foreign exchange reserves suggests that Bank Negara continued to intervene in the foreign exchange
market to prevent the ringgit from rising too rapidly given the inflow of foreign capital. As it stands, foreign portfolio
investment in fixed income papers rose by RM3.4bn in August, albeit by a smaller magnitude compared with an
increase of RM5.9bn in July. As a result, their holdings in fixed income instruments rose to RM105.5bn at end-August,
the highest in more than two years and from RM102.0bn at end-July (Chart 1).

Economic Highlights - Foreign Exchange Reserves Rose To US$104.6bn As At 15 October - 25/10/2010

Economic Highlights - Inflation Unexpectedly Eased In September - 25/10/2010

◆ The headline inflation rate eased 1.8% yoy in September, from +2.1% in August. This was the first easing
after six consecutive months of picking up, suggesting that price pressure has eased somewhat and the impact from
the Government’s move to increase fuel and sugar prices in mid July has fizzled out. Also, the sharp appreciation
of the ringgit in recent months might have contributed to a more moderate increase in inflation during the month.
The slowdown was reflected in slower increases in food & non-alcohol beverage prices and the core inflation
rate.


Economic Highlights - Inflation Unexpectedly Eased In September - 25/10/2010

Hunza Properties Berhad : Headline Net Profit Skewed by EIs - 25/10/2010

♦ Slightly below expectations. Hunza’s 1QFY11 estimated core net profit
of RM12.5m (-1.8% yoy; -10.4% qoq) came in slightly below our
expectation by 6% but in line with consensus estimate. Sequential
turnover fell 12.4%, continued to be underpinned by progressive billings
from the two residential towers of Gurney Paragon. Headline net profit of
RM34.7m, however, was skewed by an exceptional item, mainly made up
of a revaluation surplus amounted to RM22.1m arising from Gurney
Paragon mall, office and a piece of land. As expected, no dividend was
declared in 1QFY11.

♦ Looking at longer-term prospects. In the near term, Sabiha Gokcen

management is optimistic in the long-term terminal given its high growth

Rubber Glove Sector Update : Still Cautious On Near-Term Outlook - 21/10/2010

♦ Share prices reacted strongly to possible revision in selling prices.
The share prices for glove manufacturers were generally up 0.4-10.1%, as
compared to -0.1% for the FMB KLCI and FBM100 respectively (see Table
2). We believe the strong share price performances were largely due the
news that the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers’ Association
(“Margma”) had urged its members to raise glove prices to pass on the
higher raw material costs and continued weakening of the US$ against RM.

WCT Berhad : Secures RM1.36bn Building Job In Qatar And RM128m Hospital Project In Sabah - 21/10/2010

♦ 3 th and 4th key projects this year. WCT has secured two key contracts, namely: (1) A QAR1.59bn (RM1.36bn) government administrative building job in Doha, Qatar;
and (2) The Tuaran hospital project in Sabah worth RM127.8m. The latest contracts are the 3rd and 4th key jobs WCT has secured this year, boosting its YTD new contracts secured to RM2.1bn (see Table 2) and its outstanding construction orderbook by 53% to RM4.3bn
(see Table 3). Assuming an EBIT margin of 8-10%, the latest contracts will fetch RM119-149m EBIT over the construction period ending Apr/May 2013. While we are positive on the latest development, we expect limited reaction from the the market as WCT had been hinting on the Qatar job for a while by now.

media rose 3.4% yoy with print adex up 7.0% yoy, while adex for TV remained flat yoy. MoM, total print and TV gross adex fell by 14.5%. This
was not too surprising considering that Aug adex benefited from the Merdeka celebrations and Hari Raya festival.

British American Tobacco Berhad : Impact Of Less Than 20’s Ban Cushioned By Relaunch Of Peter Stuyvesant - 21/10/2010

♦ In line. BAT’s 9MFY12/10’s net profit of RM548.4m (-4.4% yoy) was within
expectations, accounting for 76% of both our and consensus forecasts. This
was on the back of a 3.6% growth in revenues. Earnings were weaker yoy
due to thinner operating margins as a result of the ban on less than 20’s
pack. For 9MFY10, operating margin was 2.5%-pts lower than 9MFY09’s
27.5%. BAT also announced a 2nd interim dividend of 64 sen, bringing YTD
total to 177 sen (9MFY09: 174 sen).

Axis REIT : Quattro West Started To Contribute - 21/10/2010

♦ Within expectations. Axis REIT’s 3Q10 realised net profit of RM12.6m
(+22.8% yoy; +3.9% qoq) was in line with our expectation and consensus
estimates. The headline net profit of RM24.3m included a fair value gain
amounted to RM11.7m arising from the revaluation of 7 properties.
Sequential revenue increased by 6.5%, mainly attributed to the contribution
of Quattro West (formerly known as Nestle House), which commenced its
operations in Aug, as well as positive rental reversion of 6.1% up to Sept
2010. A 4 sen DPU was declared for 3Q10. Including the 7.7 sen DPU paid in
1H10, 9M10 DPU amounted to 11.7 sen, on track to meet our FY10 DPU
forecast of 16.7 sen.

Economic Highlights - Leading Index Bounced Back In August, Pointing To A Resilient Economic Activities Ahead - 20/10/2010

◆ The Leading Index, which provides an early signal of the direction that the economy is heading, rebounded to
increase by 0.9% mom in August, from -0.1% in July and -0.2% in June. This was the first increase in five
months, suggesting that the leading index, though weakening, remains resilient. The pick-up was underpinned by
increases in real money supply (+0.8%) and CPI for services (+0.1%; inverted) as well as a stronger growth in
the Bursa Malaysia Industrial index (+0.1%). These were, however, offset partially by sharper declines in trade with
eight major trading partners (-0.2%) and unit labour cost in the manufacturing sector (-0.2%) as well as a slowdown
in the number of housing permits approved (+0.2%). Industrial material price index, on the other hand, held stable,
while the number of new companies registered remained unchanged during the month. As a result, the leading
index’s six-month smoothed growth rate bounced back to +2.2% in August, after moderating to +0.9%
in July but off the peak of +11.2% recorded in March (see Chart 1). This was the first rebound, after four
consecutive months of slowing down, indicating that the economy is likely to sustain its growth in the months
ahead, albeit at a more moderate pace.

Economic Highlights - Decline In Manufacturing Investment Approvals Narrowed In The 2Q - 20/10/2010

◆ Total approved manufacturing investment fell by a smaller magnitude of 4.1% yoy to RM8.0bn in the
2Q, compared with -30.3% or RM5.2bn in the 1Q. This was due to a pick-up in domestic manufacturing investment
approvals, which rebounded to increase by 258.8% yoy to RM3.7bn in the 2Q, from -51.9% or RM2.0bn in the 1Q.
A sharper drop in foreign direct manufacturing investment (FDI) approvals, which fell by 41.2% to RM4.3bn in the
2Q, compared with -2.9% or RM3.2bn in the 1Q, however, offset part of the gain.

◆ The Malaysian Institute of Economic Research’s (MIER) business conditions index (BCI) fell by 14.7 percentage
points to 104.9 in the 3Q, after falling by 4.4 percentage points in the 2Q (see Chart 1). This was the second
consecutive quarter of decline after reaching the peak in the 1Q, suggesting that businesses have become less
upbeat, in view of prospects of a slowdown in the global economy that could affect business activities in the months
ahead. As it stands, the slowing global economic growth has become more wide spread since the 2Q. Also,
Malaysia’s exports slowed down for the fifth consecutive month in August, while industrial production slackened to
the slowest pace in eight months in July, before bouncing back slightly in August.

of RM8.7m (+7% yoy; 2% qoq) came in 6% and 10% below ours and
consensus estimates, on an annualised basis. Yoy 3% increase in top-line
was mainly due to increase in rental rates of some properties. Apart from the
filter-down of positive growth in rental contribution, effective capital, tenancy
and asset management by the REIT manager, as well as some write-back of
administrative expenses have also led to a 7% increase in realised net
income.

reflective of the strong TIV numbers recorded since the beginning of the

IMF Softened Its Stance On Capital Controls
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has softened its stand on capital controls, as it warned that capital flooding into
Asia could lead to excessive exchange-rate moves, asset bubbles and financial instability. It touted capital controls as
a means to moderate the vast inflows to prevent another financial crisis. The unusual joint endorsement of capital
controls, policies that the IMF has until recently resisted, highlights how the growing gap in the performance of different
parts of the global economy is pushing policymakers in new directions. It also highlighted that, perhaps, allowing currency
to appreciate alone may not be sufficient in doing the job of slowing down capital inflows. This is especially the case
where “carry-trade” activities are quite common due to interest rates that are extremely low in developed countries and
developing as well as emerging economies’ markets are not deep enough to absorb the inflows. The IMF’s remarks came
as governments in Asia and emerging economies are looking for ways to lean against the substantial inflow of foreign
capital

US Core Inflation Moderated Yoy In September, Increasing The Odds Of The Fed To Ease Its Policy Further
US headline inflation eased to 0.1% mom in September, after holding stable at 0.3% in July-August. The moderation
was due to a sharper drop in the prices of apparel and the costs of recreation, while the costs of housing and education
slipped into a contraction during the month. A slower increase in the costs of transport, on the back of a slowdown in
gasoline prices and a drop in the costs of vehicles, also helped. These were, however, offset partially by to a pick-up
in food & beverage prices and the costs of medical. Excluding energy prices, inflation remained unchanged in September,
after holding stable at 0.1% mom in May-August. Excluding food and energy prices, the core inflation rate remained
unchanged for two consecutive months in August-September, after easing to +0.1% mom in July.
