1.0 Corporate Profile

ÆON CO. (M) BHD. (formerly known as Jaya Jusco Stores Bhd.) is a leading retailer in

Malaysia with a total revenue of RM3.73 billion in the financial year ended 31st

December 2009. The Company was incorporated on 15 September 1984. ÆON CO. (M)

BHD. was set up in response to the Malaysian Government’s invitation to ÆON Japan to

help modernise the retailing industry in Malaysia. The ‘JUSCO’ name today is well

established among Malaysians as well as foreigners, especially due to its association with

the international ÆON group of companies.

ÆON has established itself as a leading chain of general merchandise stores. ÆON’s

constant interior redecoration of stores, to project an image designed to satisfy the ever

changing needs and desires of consumers, is clear evidence of this. The Company’s

performance has been further enhanced by the management’s acute understanding of

target market needs and the provision of a correct product-mix.

ÆON’s stores are mostly situated in suburban residential areas, catering to the vast

middle income group.

The ÆON group of companies consists of ÆON Co. Ltd., and more than 150

consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies. In addition to its core general

merchandise stores (GMS) plus its supermarket and convenience store operations, ÆON

is also active in specialty store operations, shopping center development, operations and

services.

ÆON group of companies is an integrated Japanese retailer and is active not only in

Japan but also in Southeast Asia, China and North America.

At all times, in every market, ÆON's activities are guided by the unchanging

'Customer First' philosophy. Its aim is to surpass expectations by combining excellent

products with unique personal services that enhance the shopping experience to make the

customers smile every time they shop.

2.0 Corporate Philosophy

2.1 OUR PRINCIPLE

Regardless of how times may have changed, is to serve the ‘ Customer First ’. We are

always mindful of the three keywords which make up the essence and character of the

retail industry and must be considered in any development: ‘ peace ’, ‘ people ’and ‘

community ’. Ours is a person-to-person business and our existence is deeply intertwined

with the people of the regions and societies in which we serve. These precepts remain the

same wherever we do business, where we act as a contributing member of the local

community.

2.2 OUR STRATEGY

Is to establish a solid competitive position and achieve continuous growth. Two key

components underlying this strategy are:

Accelerating Shopping Center Development. We are channeling our resources towards

developing attractive, integrated commercial facilities which our customers can fully

enjoy, such as regional shopping center and neighbourhood shopping center. This segment

also involves leasing shopping space and facilities to tenants.

Aggressive Pursuit of GMS Stores. Our General Merchandise Stores (GMS), which

combine supermarkets and departmental stores under one roof, operate as full-line

retailers. Products offered range from food and other daily necessities, apparel and

household goods (including bedding and bathroom products) to specialised products such

as home appliances, sporting goods and cosmetics.

2.3 OUR GOAL

Is to operate as an “international-scale retailing group”, recognised for excellence not only

in Japan, but also in other nations. The international recognition we are working to

achieve is not one which can be measured merely in quantifiable terms of size, growth and

profitability. We hope to be competitive at the global level in intangible aspects such as

customer satisfaction and corporate citizenship. We are dedicated to the idea of “quality

management” to further enhance our capabilities.

Understanding how vital blood is in saving lives, AEON embarked on a mega blood

donation campaign at all AEON shopping centres across Malaysia to recruit blood donors

among AEON people and customers. Billed as the Pre Ramadhan Mega Blood Donation

2009, AEON team up with Pusat Darah Negara, and local hospitals to help boost the

blood banks around Malaysia. The blood donation campaign from 14 – 16 August 2009

was officially launched by Y.A.Bhg. Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, Patron of ANSARA

on 14 August 2009 at AEON Bukit Tinggi Shopping Centre. A total of 3,524 bags of

6.4 Sharing The Spirit Of Generosity During Ramadhan

In conjunction with the holy month of Ramadhan, AEON organised the Mega Bubur

Lambuk For Charity Event on 5 September 2009 at all AEON shopping centres. Bubur

Lambuk is a type of porridge that is cooked with coconut milk, herbs and meat. It is a

delicious delicacy that is often prepared during the Ramadhan month to be distributed to

local communities and charity homes. The process of preparing the Bubur Lambuk is an

art that requires teamwork and perseverance and helps to promote unity within the

community. Jasmine Food Corporation Sdn. Bhd., our business associate was the main

sponsor for the event. Proceeds from the sale amounting to RM15,392 was channelled to

The “With All Our Hearts” Malaysian JUSCO Foundation’s fund.

AEON organised charity jogathons on 12 December 2009 at six of its shopping centres at

Alpha Angle, Bandar Utama, Taman Equine, Kinta City, Seberang Prai City, and Bukit

Indah. The charity jogathons were opened to all age 13 and above at an entrant fee of

RM10 from each participant. The amount collected was RM6,975 which was channelled

to the “With All Our Hearts” Malaysian JUSCO Foundation’s fund. Participants were

mainly customers and AEON people.

6.6 Donations

AEON and AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad (ACS) donated a total of RM107,000 for

the Sumatra Earthquake Victims Fund to support humanitarian aid efforts in the

earthquake-affected areas of Padang. Donation boxes were placed at all JUSCO stores and

Page | 17

AEON shopping centres throughout the country for the shoppers, suppliers and AEON

people to donate to the cause. “With All Our Hearts” Malaysian JUSCO Foundation

donated another RM43,500 to the RM43,500 collected through the donation boxes. ACS

also placed donation boxes in all their offices, branches and service centres nationwide

from which a total of RM20,000 was collected. The Indonesian Ambassador, Y.Bhg. Tan

Sri Da’i Bachtiar on behalf of the cause, received cheques of RM87,000 from Mr

Nagahisa Oyama, Managing Director of AEON and RM20,000 from Mr Naruhito

Kuroda, Managing Director of ACS in a cheque presentation ceremony held at the

Embassy of The Republic of Indonesia on 30 October 2009. In 2009, AEON also made

various donations which totalled more than RM200,000 in cash and kind to schools,

NGOs and Government welfare agencies.

6.7 Supporting local SMEs

Partnership With Government Agencies In 2009 AEON continued its partnership with

Government agencies; MOA, MARA, MECD, MDTCA, Malaysia Craft and FAMA, to

support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) on opportunities to gain marketing

experience and promote local brands to the public. Besides providing road show venues to

help promote their products, these entrepreneurs were given special shelf space and kiosk
