The Board of Directors of JTH would like to announce the following:

(1). CE MARKING CERTIFICATION

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Jaya Tiasa Plywood Sdn Bhd (JTP) has been awarded CE Marking Certification by BM Trada Certification Limited for its hardwood plywood for structural/external use.

With this certification, JTP will be able to sell its hardwood plywood to the market in the European Economic Area and affixed with a CE mark to indicate conformity with the Construction Product Directive.

(2). LEGALITY OF LOGS SUPPLY

The Board of Directors of JTH would also like to clarify statements in the annual report (2004) concerning certification by Tropical Forest Trust (TFT) on the legality of logs supply.

In view of the concerns of UK/Europe market about the origin and legality of raw materials, JTH has requested TFT to assess the supply of logs to one of the Group's mills known as JTP2 located at Ensurai along Rejang River near Sibu.

While TFT does not issue certificates verifying legality, the conclusion based on review of company records solely pertaining to the JTP2 mill was: "The indications are that the JTP2 mill is using logs purchased in compliance with Sarawak legislation. There is no evidence that illegal logs from Indonesia, or any other foreign sources, are being used.
