ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY BURSA SECURITIES' LISTING REQUIREMENTS
|
| 1. |
Review of Performance of the Company and its Principal subsidiaries |
| |
The Group achieved a profit after tax of RM8.0 million on the back of a revenue of RM32.7 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
and The Residences in Changkat Kiara, Sri Hartamas. Apart from the profit contributed from property development
projects, Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel in Penang has also contributed 2% to the
Group's profit. |
2.
|
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 RM8.0 million and RM32.7 million as compared to RM24.8 million and RM75.4
million, respectively for the immediate preceding quarter. The lower
results recorded for current quarter as compared to preceding quarter is
mainly due to recognition of sale of land of
approximately 30 acres in Taman Desa Tebrau, Johor to Aeon Co. (M) Bhd
(formerly known as Jaya Jusco Stores
Bhd) at sale consideration of RM39.2 million in preceding quarter. This disposal has
contributed approximately RM12.4 million to the Group’s profit after
tax. |
3. |
Prospects for the Current Financial Year |
| |
Based on the Group’s premise on the timely
completion of the on-going projects and barring any unforeseen
circumstances, the Board of Directors is cautiously optimistic that the Group's
performance will be favourable for the financial year ending June 2005.
