2.5 Guidelines and Review Procedures
The management of Spritzer Group has ensured and will continue to ensure that the RecurrentRelated Party Transactions will only be entered into after taking into consideration of the
pricing, level of services, quality of product and other related factors on terms not morefavourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public and are not to the
detriment of the minority shareholders. In doing so, the management has implemented andwill continue to implement the following methods and procedures:-
(i) Spritzer Group will keep record of all Recurrent Related Party Transactions andsummary of such transactions are submitted quarterly to the Head Office;
(ii) the audit committee at its meetings will review the Recurrent Related PartyTransactions and if necessary, may request the internal auditors to review the
management system and procedures in compiling information on Recurrent RelatedParty Transactions. The audit committee may, at its discretion, adopt new proceduresand amend the existing procedures which are no longer appropriate or adequate;
(iii) the external auditors will also review the Recurrent Related Party Transactions aspart of the audit programme;
(iv) terms of the Recurrent Related Party Transactions relating to the price or sales anddistribution margin shall not be subject to substantial change during the period whichthe shareholders mandate is in force. Where such change is deemed necessary, themanagement shall review that the new terms are consistent with a transactionconducted at arms length and on normal commercial terms consistent with the
Groups usual business practices and policies;
(v) where any director has an interest, direct or indirect, in any Recurrent Related PartyTransactions, such director or his alternate shall abstain from deliberation and votingon the resolution. Where any member of the audit committee is interested in anyRecurrent Related Party Transactions, that member shall abstain from deliberation
and voting on any decisions to be taken by the audit committee with respect to suchtransaction;
(vi) disclosure will be made in the annual report of the Company of the aggregate valueof transactions conducted pursuant to the Proposed Shareholders Mandate during thefinancial year with a breakdown of the aggregate value of the recurrent transactionsbased on the type, names of the Related Parties involved and their relationships withthe Company. Disclosure will also be made in the annual reports of the subsequentfinancial year during which the period the shareholders mandate remains in force.
(vii) at least two other contemporaneous transactions with unrelated third parties forsimilar products/services and/or quantities will be used as comparison, wherever
possible, to determine whether the price and terms offered to/by the Related Parties
are fair and reasonable and comparable to those offered to/by other unrelated thirdparties for the same or substantially similar type of products/services and/orquantities. Where quotation or comparative pricing from unrelated third parties
cannot be obtained, the transaction price will be determined by the Group based onthose offered by/to other unrelated parties for the same or substantially similar type
of transaction to ensure that the Recurrent Related Party Transaction is notdetrimental to the Group.
2.5.1 Threshold of Authority
The Group has in place a level of authority policy to facilitate the orderly and
efficient operations of the Group. Managers are given a reasonable and acceptablelevel of authority to approve limited purchases and payments. For amounts exceeding
the managers authority i.e. RM50,000.00, prior approval of the General Manager oran Executive Director is required.

3. AUDIT COMMITTEE STATEMENTThe Audit Committee of Spritzer, having reviewed the procedures mentioned in Section 2.5 above, isof the opinion that the procedures are sufficient to ensure that the Recurrent Related Party Transactions
are on terms not more favourable to the Related Parties than those generally available to the public andare not to the detriment of the minority shareholders, and hence, will not be prejudicial to the
shareholders or disadvantageous to the Group.
In addition, the Audit Committee is of the opinion that the Spritzer Group has in place adequateprocedures and processes to monitor, track and identify Recurrent Related Party Transactions in atimely and orderly manner. The Audit Committees review procedures and processes will be conductedon a quarterly basis together with the review of the quarterly financial results, or such frequency as the
Audit Committee considers appropriate having regard to the value and frequency of the RecurrentRelated Party Transactions.
4. RATIONALE AND BENEFITS
The Recurrent Related Party Transactions entered or to be entered into from time to time by Spritzer
Group are in the ordinary course of business. They are recurring transactions of a revenue or trading
nature which are likely to occur with some degree of frequency and arise at any time and from time totime. These transactions may be constrained by the time-sensitive nature and confidentiality of suchtransactions, and it may be impractical to seek shareholders approval on a case to case basis beforeentering into such transactions. As such, the Company is seeking its shareholders approval for theProposed Shareholders Mandate pursuant to Paragraph 10.09(2) of the Listing Requirements to allow
the Group to continue to enter or to enter into the Recurrent Related Party Transactions.
The Proposed Shareholders Mandate is crucial to ensure continuing day-to-day operations of theGroup. By obtaining the renewal on an annual basis, this will reduce substantial administrative timeand expenses associated with the convening of general meetings from time to time to seekshareholders approval of each transaction while still maintaining the objective of keeping shareholders
informed of the extent of the Recurrent Related Party Transactions occurring within the Group.
Spritzer Group has a long standing business relationship with YLO. YLO is the holding company of adiversified group of companies, some of which are currently providing Spritzer with services classifiedas Recurrent Related Party Transactions. There exist a strong relationship between Spritzer and theRelated Parties which remain till today. The Directors are of the view that the close workingrelationship of Spritzer and various Related Parties has over the years benefited the Group in making itmore competitive in the industry. The Directors believe that the existing Deeds of Assignment between
CS, GPI and YLT which assign sole product distribution rights to YLT have allowed Spritzer access toestablished distribution channels in Malaysia. YLT is currently the marketing and distribution arm of
YLC, a subsidiary of YLO and markets a wide range of consumer products such as foodstuff, babyproducts, household cleaning item and toothbrushes.
It should also be emphasised that the Related Parties are not under any obligation to enter intotransactions with the Group and vice versa. Ultimately all business transactions are entered into with
the intention of profiting from market situations. Therefore external market prices and conditions areimportant factors that determine transaction prices between the Group and the Related Parties.However, close relationship between the Group and the Related Parties allow for better control ofquality and inventory and this result in the reduction of inventory driven costs and the maintenance ofquality of its end products.
5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SHAREHOLDERS MANDATE
The Proposed Shareholders Mandate will not have any effect on the issued and paid-up share capital,net assets and earnings of Spritzer Group.
6. APPROVAL REQUIRED
The Proposed Shareholders Mandate is conditional upon the approval of the shareholders of Spritzer atthe forthcoming 17th AGM.

2. DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK
2.1 IntroductionThe renewal of the existing Share Buy-Back Shareholders Mandate will allow the Board toexercise the power of the Company to purchase its own shares on Bursa Securities of up to ten
per cent (10%) of its issued and paid-up share capital at any point in time during theauthorised period, subject to the provisions of Section 67A of the Act and regulationsthereunder, the Listing Requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and anyprevailing laws, regulations, rules, orders, guidelines and requirements of any regulatoryauthorities (as may be amended, modified or re-enacted from time to time) at the time ofpurchase(s). The Proposed Share Buy-Back will be executed through Bursa Securities via
stockbrokers.
If approved, the authorised period for the Proposed Share Buy-Back shall be effectiveimmediately upon the passing of the ordinary resolution at the forthcoming 17
thAGM and
shall continue to be in force until:-
(i) the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company following the AGM at which suchresolution was passed at which time it will lapse unless by an ordinary resolutionpassed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to
conditions;
(ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM after that date is required bylaw to be held; or
(iii) revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution passed by the shareholders of theCompany in a general meeting,
whichever occurs first.
In accordance with the Listing Requirements, Spritzer may only purchase its own shares at a
price which is not more than fifteen per cent (15%) above the weighted average market pricefor the shares for the five (5) market days immediately preceding before the purchase.
The Company may retain the shares purchased as treasury shares or cancel the shares or both,depending on the capital requirements of the Company at that point in time. In the event thatthe Company retains the purchased shares as treasury shares, the said treasury shares may bedistributed as share dividends to shareholders and/or resold through Bursa Securities and/orsubsequently cancelled.
While the purchased shares are held as treasury shares, the rights attached to them in relationto voting, dividends and participation in any other distributions or otherwise will be suspended.
The treasury shares shall not be taken into account in calculating the number or percentage ofshares or of a class of shares in the Company for any purposes including substantial
shareholding, takeovers, notices, the requisitioning of meetings, the quorum for a meeting andthe result of a vote on a resolution at a meeting.
.In the case of a resale of treasury shares, if any, the Company may only resell the treasury
shares on Bursa Securities at:-
(a) a price which is not less than the weighted average market price for the shares for thefive (5) market days immediately before the resale; or
(b) a discounted price of not more than five per cent (5%) to the weighted average
market price for the shares for the five (5) market days immediately before the resaleprovided that:-
(i) the resale takes place no earlier than thirty (30) days from the date ofpurchase; and(ii) the resale price is not less than the cost of purchase of the shares being
resold

2.2 Rationale for the Proposed Share Buy-Back
The Proposed Share Buy-Back is expected to enhance shareholders value in the event that
such purchased shares are cancelled as the resultant reduction in the issued and paid-up capitalof Spritzer is expected to increase the earnings per share, thereby making the shares more
attractive to investors.
In addition, the purchased shares may be held as treasury shares and distributed toshareholders as dividends and/or resold in the open market with the intention of realising a
potential capital appreciation on the shares.
As at the date of this Circular, the Company has not decided on the action to be taken on theshares to be purchased, namely to retain those purchased shares as treasury shares, or cancelthe shares purchased or a combination of both. The decision will be made by the Board at the
appropriate time.
2.3 Quantum and Funding
The actual number of shares which may be purchased and the timing of the purchase(s) will
depend on, inter-alia, market conditions, the availability of retained profits/share premium andfinancial resources of the Company as well as the Listing Requirements to maintain thenecessary shareholding spread.
The maximum amount of funds to be allocated for the Proposed Share Buy-Back shall not
exceed the retained profits and/or share premium account of the Company. Based on the latestfinancial statements for the financial year ended 31 May 2010, the share premium account and
retained profits of the Company were RM16.55 million and RM6.08 million respectively; andthe share premium account and retained profits of the Company based on the unauditedquarterly results as at 31 August 2010 were RM16.55 million and RM6.02 millionrespectively.
The Proposed Share Buy-Back, if implemented, will be financed through internally generatedfunds and/or borrowings. The amount of bank borrowings to be used for the Proposed Share
Buy-Back would depend on the prevailing interest rates accorded to the bank borrowings andthe repayment capabilities of the Company. In the event that Spritzer decides to utilise bankborrowings to finance the Proposed Share Buy-Back, it will ensure that it has sufficientfinancial capability to repay the bank borrowings and interest expense. The bank borrowingsare not expected to have a material impact on the cash flows or earnings of the Company.
2.4 Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of the Proposed Share Buy-BackThe potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proposed Share Buy-Back to the Company
and its shareholders are as follows:-
Potential advantages:-
(i) allows the Company the flexibility in attaining its desired capital structure; and(ii) rewards the shareholders in the event the treasury shares are distributed as share
dividends.
Potential disadvantages:-
(i) the Proposed Share Buy-Back will reduce the financial resources of the Group andmay result in the Group forgoing better investment opportunities that may emerge inthe future; and
(ii) as the Proposed Share Buy-Back can only be made out of share premium accountand/or retained profits of the Company, it may result in the reduction of financial
resources available for distribution to shareholders of the Company in the immediatefuture.
The Board will be mindful of the Company and its shareholders in undertaking the ProposedShare Buy-Back and in the subsequent resale of treasury shares on Bursa Securities, if any.

3. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SHARE BUY-BACK
The financial effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the Company are as follows:-
3.1 Share Capital
The effects of the Proposed Share Buy-Back on the share capital of Spritzer will depend onthe intention of the Board with regards to the purchased shares.
In the event that shares purchased are retained as treasury shares, the Proposed Share Buy-Back will have no effect on the issued and paid-up share capital of Spritzer. Nevertheless,certain rights attached to the shares in relation to voting, dividends and participation in other
distributions or otherwise will be suspended while the shares are held as treasury shares. Thetreasury shares shall not be taken into account in calculating the number or percentage of
shares or of a class of shares in the Company for any purposes including substantialshareholding, takeovers, notices, the requisitioning of meetings, the quorum for a meeting andthe result of a vote on a resolution at a meeting.
In the event that the shares purchased by the Company are subsequently cancelled, the issued
and paid-up share capital will be reduced by the number of shares cancelled. The effect on theissued and paid-up share capital of the Company is set out below:-

The Proposed Share Buy-Back will reduce the net assets per share of Spritzer Group when thepurchase price exceeds the net assets per share of Spritzer Group at the relevant point in time.On the other hand, the net assets per share of Spritzer Group will be increased when thepurchase price is less than the net assets per share of Spritzer Group at the relevant point intime.
If the purchased shares were held as treasury shares and subsequently resold on Bursa
Securities, the Companys net assets per share would increase if the Company realise a gainfrom the resale and vice versa. In addition to the purchase price of the shares, the effectivecost of funds or any loss in interest income to the Group may also have an impact on the netassets per share.
3.4 Earnings
Depending on the number of shares so purchased and the purchase price of the shares, theProposed Share Buy-Back may increase the EPS of the Group. Similarly, on the assumptionthat the shares so purchased are treated as treasury shares, the extent of the effect on theearnings of the Group will depend on the actual selling price, the number of treasury sharesresold and the gain from disposal.
3.5 Dividends
The Board has recommended, subject to obtaining the shareholders approval at theforthcoming 17
thAGM, a first and final dividend of 2.5 sen per Share, tax-exempt, in respect
of the financial year ended 31 May 2010.
The Proposed Share Buy-Back is not expected to have any material effect on the dividendpolicy of the Company. The level of dividends to be declared for the future financial yearswould be determined by the Board after taking into consideration the performance and cashflow position of Spritzer, as well as the prevailing economic conditions.
3.6 Cash Flows
The Proposed Share Buy-Back is expected to reduce the working capital of the Group, thequantum of which will depend on the number of shares to be bought back and the purchaseprice of the shares.
4. IMPLICATIONS RELATING TO THE CODE
Part II and Practice Note 2.7 of the Code states that if a person, together with persons acting in concertwith him, if any, holding more than 33% but less than 50% of the voting shares of a company, who as aresult of a purchase by the company of its own shares, increases his holding in any period of six (6)months by an additional 2% or more of the voting shares of the Company, the person together withpersons acting in concert with him, if any, are obligated to extend a mandatory take-over offer toacquire the remaining shares not already held by them.
The Proposed Share Buy-Back is not expected to trigger any obligation by the substantial shareholders
of the Company and/or persons acting in concert with them to undertake a mandatory offer under theCode.
Nevertheless, the Board will be mindful of the potential implications relating to the Code. In the event
that obligations relating to Part II of the Code are expected to be triggered as a result of the ProposedShare Buy-Back, which is an action outside its direct participation, the affected parties shall apply to
the Securities Commission for an exemption from undertaking a take-over offer for all the remainingshares in the Company not already held by them under Practice Note 2.9.10 of the Code.
