| 1. |
Review of Performance of the Company and its Principal subsidiaries |
| |
The Group achieved a profit after tax of RM47.5 million on the back of a revenue of RM174.6 million
for the current year-to-date under review. This performance was mainly attributable to progressive
profit recognized on properties sold, completed and handed over in respect of Taman Desa Tebrau in Johor, Taman Putra Prima in Selangor and Bandar Perdana in Kedah. Apart from the profit contributed from property development
projects, Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel in Penang has also contributed 0.8% to the
Group's profit. |

Material changes in the Quarterly Results compared to the results of the Preceding Quarter |
| |
The profit after tax and revenue for the current quarter are RM24.8 million and RM75.4 million as compared to RM4.3 million and RM20.0
million, respectively for the immediate preceding quarter. The higher
results recorded for current quarter is mainly due to sale of land of
approximately 30 acres in Taman Desa Tebrau, Johor to Jaya Jusco Stores
Bhd at sale consideration of RM39.2 million. This disposal has
contributed approximately RM12.4 million to the Group’s profit after
tax. |
