2 Review of Financial Performance Net Sales Net sales decreased by 19.2% from Rp2,541.2 billion in FY2008 to Rp2,054.1 billion in FY2009 due to the decrease in average selling prices of crude palm oil ( CPO ) and palm kernel ( PK ). Although the sales volume of CPO has increased in line with higher production volumes, this increase was insufficient to offset the decline in average selling prices. The following tables provides breakdown of our sales, sales volume and average selling prices: Sales FY2009 FY2008 Change Rp million Rp million % CPO 1,844,762 2,269,013 (18.7%) PK 209, ,198 (23.1%) Total Sales 2,054,124 2,541,211 (19.2%) Sales Volume FY2009 FY2008 Change Ton Ton % CPO 327, , % PK 74,084 69, % Average Price/kg FY2009 FY2008 Change Rp Rp % CPO 5,629 7,162 (21.4%) PK 2,826 3,916 (27.8%) Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold comprises mainly harvesting costs, plantation maintenance costs, FFB purchases from plasma farmers, CPO purchases, plantation general expenses and mill processing costs. Cost of goods sold decreased by Rp104.6 billion or 9.9% from Rp1,052.0 billion in FY2008 to Rp947.4 billion in FY2009. There were decreases in the value of FFB purchases from plasma farmers due to lower market prices of CPO as compared to FY2008. These were offset by increases in maintenance cost (due to larger mature hectarage), harvesting costs (due to larger production volume and increase in minimum wage rate). As FY2009 CPO sales volume increased by 3.4% over FY2008, cost of goods sold per ton of CPO sold decreased in FY2009 as compared to FY2008. Gross Profit Gross profit decreased by 25.7% from Rp1,489.2 billion in FY2008 to Rp1,106.7 billion in FY2009. Gross margin decreased from 58.6% in FY2008 to 53.9% in FY2009.

3 Operating Expenses Selling expenses comprises mainly freight charges and export taxes. Selling expenses decreased by 84.0% from Rp159.0 billion in FY2008 to Rp25.4 billion in FY2009. This significant decrease was mainly due to lower export taxes incurred as a result of Indonesia s progressive export tax structure on CPO. The export taxes levied is referenced off international CPO prices which declined in FY2009 versus prices in FY2008. General and administrative expenses comprise mainly remuneration of office staff, technical assistance fees paid to parent company and professional fees. General and administrative expenses decreased by 2.9% from Rp113.9 billion in FY2008 to Rp110.6 billion in FY2009, mainly due to a decrease in professional fees. The decrease in selling expenses and general and administrative expenses caused operating expenses in FY2009 to decrease by 50.2% to Rp136.0 billion. Income from Operations Income from operations decreased by 20.3% from Rp1,218,3 billion in FY2008 to Rp970.7 billion in FY2009. Other Income / Charges There was other income (net) of Rp153.9 billion in FY2009 as compared to other charges (net) of Rp272.0 billion in FY2008. There was a significant decrease in financial charges in FY2009 due to translational effects of our USD Notes. In FY2009, there was a translation gain of Rp218.2 billion, as the IDR appreciated during the year, versus a translation loss of Rp238.2 billion in FY2008. There was also an improvement in the mark-to-market position of the cross currency swap that the Group entered into in November 2007 to swap both the principal and interest payments of our IDR bond into USD liabilities. This led to gains of Rp188.6 billion in FY2009 versus a loss of Rp164.9 billion in FY2008. Tax expense Tax expense increased by 20.0% from Rp265.1 billion in FY2008 to Rp318.2 billion in FY2009. This increase was mainly due to a higher taxable profit. Net Income Net income increased by 39.3% from Rp438.4 billion in FY2008 to Rp610.4 billion in FY2009. Net income margin increased from 17.3% in FY2008 to 29.7% in FY2009. PT Ciliandra Perkasa & its subsidiaries Management Discussion and Analysis of FY2009 Results Page 3 of 6

4 Review of Balance Sheet and Financial Condition Assets Total assets grew by 1.3% from Rp4,543.3 billion as at 31 December 2008 to Rp4,603.6 billion as at 31 December This increase was mainly due to the increase in our non-current assets of Rp185.1 billion. Plantation assets grew by Rp154.2 billion due to continued investments by the Group in new plantings. Current assets decreased by Rp124.8 billion to Rp801.3 billion as at 31 December Inventories decreased mainly due to lower fertilizer and chemical inventories. There was also a decrease in cash and cash equivalents as a result of our capital expenditure programme during the year. As at 31 December 2009, our cash and cash equivalents stood at Rp560.7 billion as compared to Rp597.9 billion as at 31 December Liabilities Total liabilities of the Group decreased by Rp454.0 billion from Rp2,770.6 billion as at 31 December 2008 to Rp2,316.6 billion as at 31 December Non-current liabilities decreased by Rp373.4 billion and this is mainly due to the decrease in cross currency swap payable of Rp173.1 billion and notes payable of Rp208.0 billion. Current liabilities also decreased by Rp80.6 billion mainly due to the decreases in other payable, advance from customers and taxes payable, although these were partially offset by an increase in bank loan for working capital purposes. Equity Stockholders equity increased by Rp527.4 billion from Rp1,157.5 billion as at 31 December 2008 to Rp1,684.9 billion as at 31 December This increase is primarily a result of the strong financial performance recorded since FY2008.

Ciliandra Group s CPO extraction rate rose to 23.6% as a result of better mill efficiency and the continued maturing of its oil palms. The FFB production growth and better CPO extraction rates led to an increase in CPO production of 15.0%.

The age profile of its plantations remains very favourable with an average weighted age of 8 years. Only 49% of its trees are in their prime production years, indicating high potential for future production growth. Outlook The long-term fundamentals of the palm oil industry remain favourable. In the near term, especially in 1Q2010, CPO production in Malaysia and Indonesia is expected to slow due to seasonality, allowing their inventory levels to fall. In addition, there are further uncertainties on the supply-side due to weather effects and continued replanting programmes in Malaysia. On the other hand, the impending South American soybean harvest is expected to be strong. Coupled with risks to global economic recovery and continued volatility in the financial markets, CPO prices could remain volatile in The Group has maintained one of the most competitive cost structures in the industry through our disciplined cost management and focus on production efficiencies. We believe this low-cost structure will help to cushion the Group s earnings and cashflows in the event of CPO price volatility. Looking ahead, the Group can expect increased production volumes as more of our trees enter into their prime producing years. This, coupled with our low-cost and high-yielding operations, will continue to drive earnings and shareholder returns over the long run. ********************************************************************************************************************* To subscribe/unsubscribe, change mailing address or request for more information, please contact: Ms. Serene Lim Tel: (65) serene.lim@first-resources.com or investor@first-resources.com Website: PT Ciliandra Perkasa & its subsidiaries Management Discussion and Analysis of FY2009 Results Page 6 of 6
