On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to report on the financial and operating performance of the Company for the year ended

December 31, 2007.

The Company recorded an after tax profit of RM57 million for 2007, compared to RM7 million earned in 2006. Revenues in 2007 were RM9.7 billion, an increase of 4% over the prior year, reflecting higher product prices.

The Company turned in a profitable year despite a tough business environment. Refining margins were impacted by rising crude prices, but the impact was offset by continued strength in the controlled products sector.

Operating performance for the year was strong. Our plants and terminals continued to record excellent operations, and maintained high levels of safety, health and environmental performance. Port Dickson Refinery completed 11 years of continuous operations without an employee lost time injury and won a Grand Award from the Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety and Health (MSOSH). The Company's three distribution terminals won MSOSH Gold Awards.

Crude throughput at the refinery averaged 70 thousand barrels a day. A number of new crudes were successfully introduced to diversify the crude diet and reduce feedstock costs. Other self-help measures and initiatives were undertaken during the year, including blending optimization in motor gasoline and diesel production.

Competition remained intense in the retail business. The Company maintained our strategy of keeping pace with industry, opening six new service stations and investing RM37 million mainly in retail site acquisitions and construction of service stations in high growth areas. Competitive retail promotional programmes were conducted during the year to increase brand awareness and loyalty card penetration.

We grew sales volumes and captured market share in the industrial fuels, and our liquefied petroleum gas business remained profitable although somewhat impacted by the high cost of cylinders due to rising steel prices.

2007 Financial Results

Review of Operations

Chairman’s Statement

EMB and her sister companies swept a total of seven MSOSH Awards for safety performance in 2007.

EMB offers convenience, quality and value to customers on the move at our retail service stations.

At the LPG botting plant in Port Dickson, Essogas cylinders are filled before being sent to customers across the country.

In the intensely competitive and high-margin lubricants business, the Company launched a major initiative to optimize and rebrand our range of product offerings under the strong Mobil brand. In the specialties business we recorded healthy growth during the year from a return to more stable supplies of asphalt.

The Company maintained its long standing commitment to contribute to the local community in the areas where it operates. We funded programmes aimed at promoting academic excellence in science and engineering, improving the use of English and enhancing computer literacy. Scholarships were awarded to primary and secondary students through the ExxonMobil Education and Scholarship Fund. Our employees and their families continued to contribute their personal time and effort through a number of employee volunteer programmes.

The expected continued growth of the Malaysian economy in 2008 will fuel increasing demand for petroleum products. However competition will remain intense and market price volatility will continue to put pressure on product margins. In this environment, our strategy remains focused on product and service quality, flawless and safe operations, and cost control. The Company will continue efforts to enhance operating efficiency and grow our retail network through selective investment in high growth areas.

Dividends for Financial Year 2007

Board Matters

In consideration of the Company's business performance and our objective of continuing to provide a steady return to shareholders, the Board proposes a dividend for the year ended December 31, 2007 of 12 sen less Malaysian income tax at 26% per ordinary stock unit. This matches the dividend for the 2006 financial year.

There were no changes in the Board composition during the year.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our employees for their continued hard work and dedication. The petroleum refining and marketing business remains challenging and the Company's success is highly dependent on the skills, abilities and commitment of each employee to overcome these challenges. I also express my appreciation to our shareholders, dealers and customers for their continued support of Esso Malaysia Berhad.

Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah, dengan sukacitanya, saya melaporkan prestasi kewangan dan operasi Syarikat bagi tahun berakhir 31

Disember, 2007.

Syarikat telah mencatatkan keuntungan selepas cukai sebanyak RM57 juta pada tahun 2007, berbanding RM7 juta pada tahun 2006. Hasil bagi tahun 2007 yang berjumlah RM9.7 bilion, peningkatan sebanyak 4% berbanding tahun sebelumnya, mencerminkan harga produk yang lebih tinggi.

Syarikat juga telah berjaya mencatat keuntungan walaupun di dalam persekitaran urus niaga yang sukar. Margin penapisan telah menerima impak dari harga minyak mentah yang terus meningkat, tetapi impak tersebut telah dapat diimbangkan oleh kemantapan berterusan dalam sektor produk petroliam berkawal.

Prestasi operasi bagi tahun semasa adalah kukuh. Terminal dan loji penapisan terus mencatatkan tahap operasi yang cemerlang, dan mengekalkan tahap prestasi yang tinggi dalam operasi keselamatan, kesihatan dan alam sekitar. Loji Penapisan Port Dickson berjaya menyempurnakan 11 tahun operasi yang berterusan tanpa sebarang kecederaan bagi kakitangan dan telah memenangi Grand Award daripada Malaysian Society for Occupational Health (MSOSH). Tiga terminal pengedaran Syarikat juga telah memenangi Anugerah Emas MSOSH.

Secara purata, kuantiti minyak mentah yang telah diproses di loji penapisan adalah sebanyak 70 ribu tong sehari (kbd). Beberapa jenis minyak mentah baru telah diperkenalkan dengan jayanya sebagai langkah mempelbagaikan jenis minyak mentah yang digunakan dan mengurangkan kos bahan mentah. Langkah-langkah dan inisiatif lain juga telah diambil pada tahun 2007, termasuk mengoptimumkan pencampuran di dalam pengeluaran minyak disel dan gasolin.

Persaingan terus sengit di dalam sektor urus niaga runcit. Syarikat telah dapat mengekalkan strategi untuk terus bersaing rapat dengan industri, dengan membuka enam stesen servis baru dan melabur RM37 juta terutamanya untuk memperolehi tapak-tapak dan membina stesen servis yang baru di kawasan pertumbuhan tinggi. Program promosi yang kompetitif bagi urus niaga runcit juga telah dijalankan pada tahun 2007 bagi meningkatkan lagi kesedaran terhadap jenama dan menembus pasaran kad loyalti.

Syarikat terus mengembangkan rangkaian jualan runcit dengan membina stesen servis baru di kawasan pertumbuhan tinggi.

EMB menyediakan produk dan perkhidmatan berkualiti tinggi seperti sistem bahanapi synergy, dan On the Run café di kedai serbaneka On the Run dan stesen servis Esso.

Syarikat juga telah berjaya menambah kuantiti jualan dan menawan sebahagian pasaran urus niaga bahanapi industrial. Urus niaga petroliam gas cecair terus mencatatkan keuntungan walaupun telah menerima impak dari kos silinder yang tinggi akibat dari harga besi keluli yang terus meningkat. Bidang urus niaga minyak pelincir bermargin tinggi menunjukkan persaingan sengit. Syarikat telah mengambil langkah untuk melancarkan satu inisiatif utama bagi mengoptimumkan dan menjenama semula produk-produk yang ditawarkan kepada jenama Mobil yang sememangnya mantap. Dalam urus niaga produk khas, Syarikat telah mencatatkan satu pertumbuhan yang sihat pada tahun 2007 dengan adanya bekalan asfalt yang lebih stabil.

Syarikat juga terus mengekalkan komitmen untuk terus memberi sumbangan kepada masyarakat tempatan di kawasan-kawasan di mana Syarikat beroperasi. Syarikat telah memberi sokongan kewangan kepada program-program yang bertujuan menggalakkan kecemerlangan akademik dalam bidang sains dan kejuruteraan, mempertingkatkan lagi penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris dan celik-huruf komputer. Biasiswa juga telah dianugerahkan kepada pelajar-pelajar sekolah rendah dan menengah melalui "ExxonMobil Education and Scholarship Fund".

Dividen bagi Tahun Kewangan 2007

Perihal Lembaga Pengarah

Ekonomi Malaysia yang dijangka terus bertumbuh pada tahun 2008 akan terus menyemarakkan peningkatan permintaan bagi produk-produk petroliam. Walau bagaimanapun, persaingan sengit akan berterusan dan harga pasaran yang bergolak akan terus memberi tekanan ke atas margin bagi produk-produk. Dalam persekitaran sedemikian, strategi Syarikat akan terus bertumpu kepada kualiti produk dan servis, operasi yang cemerlang dan selamat, dan mengawal kos. Syarikat juga akan meneruskan segala usaha untuk memperhebatkan lagi kecekapan operasi dan mengembangkan rangkaian urus niaga runcit melalui pelaburan secara terpilih di kawasan-kawasan pertumbuhan tinggi.

Berdasarkan prestasi urus niaga Syarikat dan objektif untuk terus memberi pulangan yang tetap kepada p e m e g a n g s a h a m , L e m b a g a P e n g a r a h mencadangkan dividen sejumlah 12 sen, ditolak cukai pendapatan sebanyak 26% bagi setiap satu unit saham, bagi tahun berakhir 31 Disember 2007. Kadar dividen tersebut adalah setanding dengan kadar dividen yang telah dibayar bagi tahun kewangan 2006.

Tiada sebarang perubahan di dalam komposisi Lembaga Pengarah pada tahun 2007.

Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua kakitangan Syarikat di atas usaha gigih dan dedikasi mereka yang berterusan. Urus niaga penapisan dan pemasaran terus kekal mencabar dan kejayaan Syarikat bergantung sepenuhnya kepada kemahiran, keupayaan dan komitmen setiap kakitangan bagi mengatasi cabaran-cabaran tersebut. Saya juga ingin merakamkan penghargaan kepada pemegang-pemegang saham, pengedar, dealers, dan pelanggan-pelanggan di atas sokongan yang berterusan kepada Esso Malaysia Berhad.
