Review of Performance
The Group recorded revenue of RM220.9 million for the current quarter ended 31 March 2006 and profit before taxation of RM66.8 million, mainly contributed by the property development and property investment segments.

Also included in the profit before tax of the current quarter was results from other activities of RM12.97 million as mentioned in Note A4.

B2. Material Changes in the Quarterly Results
The current quarter's revenue of RM220.9 million and profit before taxation of RM66.8 million were lower compared to those in the previous quarter ended 31 December 2005 of RM317.8 million and RM90.6 million respectively.

Included in the previous quarter's revenue and profit before taxation was the contribution from the disposal of our 50% interest in a parcel of development land at Wonderland Business Park, Australia amounting to RM59 million and RM52.9 million respectively.

Excluding the effects of the above mentioned disposal, the profit before taxation achieved was higher despite a lower revenue. This was mainly attributable to the property development segment which had increasing contribution from jointly controlled entity and higher margin products. Also included in the profit before taxation of the current quarter was results from other investing activities amounting to RM12.97 million as mention in Note A4.
B3. Current Year Prospects
The Board is confident that the Group shall continue to achieve past performance level for the remaining months in the current financial period. This prospect is backed by strong locked-in sales and timely work progress from its main contributor, the property development segment, and steady performance by the other segments.
B4. Variance of Actual Profit from Profit Forecast
Not applicable.
B5. Taxation
The lower effective tax rate for the current year-to-date was mainly due to recognition of deferred tax assets in current financial period. The deferred tax assets recognised arose from availability of probable future taxable profits to offset against the related tax credits.
