Slide 12:FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL
2000 1999 % CHANGE Sales Revenue $ Millions 762.6 577.9 32% EBIT $ Millions 75.9 60.9 25% EBIT/Sales% 10.0% 10.5% OVERVIEW The North American market for cars / light trucks was a record 17.4 million vehicles. This higher demand drove sales increases for the USA plants and Australian exports PBR Asian sales and profits were very strong PBR Australia margins were impacted by adverse currency on imported components Aftermarket profitability improved as these costs were passed on
Slide 13:FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL
OVERVIEW (continued) The PBR Columbia plant started casting calipers and performance was to forecast Knoxville successfully installed increased plant capacity to meet higher demand from General Motors as new truck models were introduced. Margins improved to 8% in the last quarter Friction material contribution was excellent
FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL Australia Sales to local manufacturers were up 8% due to Holden’s export performance Exports were up 16% reaching in excess of $160 million and accounting for around 50% of Australian sales Friction materials continued their strong trading performance and maintained market share in Australia. Export growth through PBR was strong Asian friction profitability improved on increased volumes Australian margins were severely impacted by currency exchange losses on friction material purchased from Japan for PBR’s Banksia Parkbrake. Bendix Mintex has now developed an approved product and will commence production by end 2001 PBR is confident of announcing new strategic domestic business shortly FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL Australia (continued) FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL USA - Knoxville The plant is now consistently producing around 23,000 calipers per day and production has been reduced to 5 days/wk For September - December 2000, EBIT/sales margins were above 8%. Subject to schedule changes we are confident of continued improvement Plant volume outlook is good with projected half year 2001 up significantly. General Motors has not idled any Truck capacity, but overtime has been cut FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL USA - Columbia Columbia supplied castings to Knoxville during the last half of 2000, and commissioned caliper lines for the GMT360, and the Banksia park brake line for the GMT250. The volume ramp of both programmes is slower than anticipated FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL Asia Malaysia Despite the introduction of a new Proton model without PBR’s brakes, sales and profitability increased. Current strategy is to “wait and see” and look for potential local partners with export / technical capability Thailand An excellent result with the Ford / Mazda truck continuing to sell well. Strategy is to hold export volumes Japan PBR will aggressively pursue product supply and licensing opportunities in Japan throughout 2001 FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL Asia (continued) Korea Sales down, with Daewoo continuing to lose market share FULL YEAR 2000PBR INTERNATIONAL Technology Development of new products, Auriga, heavy duty aluminium brakes and electronically operated brakes, is on track Interest in Banksia and Aluminium calipers continues to grow in the USA, but car companies’ new programme introduction has been slowed by the local economic conditions PBR will be actively pursuing licensing opportunities in Europe and Japan for its product and process “know how” Developing a suitable partner in Europe is still progressing. Objective to exploit technology with reduced capital investment PBR is developing a new Business Model based around sustaining and improving its competitive advantage in product process and system development as well as improving return ratesSlide 21:

Barry Jackson Managing Director Pacifica Group LimitedSlide 36:OUTLOOK
Year 2001 Sales will grow by more than 10% USA Automotive demand will fall but PBR volumes will continue to grow Australian general demand will remain weak Automotive down marginally Plastics weak Webforge/Melwire a little stronger PBR Knoxville should get benefit of last year’s improvements plus further gains Strong cash flows to continue (reduced gearing) Fall in capex to below depreciation Transformation into Industrial Technology Company Portfolio and capital management under active review. New CEO
Slide 37:OUTLOOK (continued)
Next 3 years Continued growth from past investments in USA and Asia Lower capital expenditure Increasing asset turns Strong cash flows All ratios improve as new plants mature Conversion into Industrial Technology Company Growth from new Automotive contracts eg. Corvette Corners, Introduction of new products, eg. Electric Banksia, Auriga, Disc Rotors Greater R&D and focus on leveraging technology
