Division Turnover

Employee turnover in the Plantation Division relates primarily to abscondments and
expiry of fixed-term contract employees. The majority of employees who absconded
are engaged in physical labour where traditionally the employee turnover has been
high. The Manufacturing Division had reduced the size of its total contract workforce
given the present lower levels of economic activity. In other cases, the Group
believes that the high rate of non-executive employees leaving voluntarily across the
divisions has to do with the mobility of labour.
