14. Per<strong>for</strong>mance review<br />
The revenue <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> current <strong>quarter</strong> <strong>ended</strong> <strong>31</strong> March 2004 was lower at RM20.9 million compared to RM<strong>31</strong>.0 million <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> corresponding period last year. However, despite <strong>the</strong> lower revenue <strong>the</strong> pre-tax profit increased substantially to<br />
RM13.9 million <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> current <strong>quarter</strong> from RM5.0 million in <strong>the</strong> previous year's <strong>quarter</strong> as a result of better profit<br />
margins earned by <strong>the</strong> property development division and a gain of RM8.9 million from disposal of land.<br />

16. Current year prospects<br />
The property development division is expected to be <strong>the</strong> main contributor in terms of revenue and profits <strong>for</strong> this <strong>financial</strong><br />
year, supported by <strong>the</strong> encouraging sales achieved to date. Overall, <strong>the</strong> directors are of <strong>the</strong> view that <strong>the</strong> Group<br />
operating results will continue to be satisfactory <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> current year.<br />
17. Profit <strong>for</strong>ecast or profit guarantee<br />
The Group has not provided any profit <strong>for</strong>ecast or profit guarantee in a public document.<br />
18. Taxation<br />
Individual <strong>quarter</strong> <strong>ended</strong><br />
Quarter <strong>ended</strong><br />
The Group's profit be<strong>for</strong>e taxation <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> current <strong>quarter</strong> <strong>ended</strong> <strong>31</strong> March 2004 of RM13.9 million represented a<br />
decrease of 34% from <strong>the</strong> previous <strong>quarter</strong> <strong>ended</strong> <strong>31</strong> December 2003 of RM21.2 million. This was attributable to lower<br />
of recognition progress billing from <strong>the</strong> real property development projects and losses incurred by <strong>the</strong> engineering and<br />
investment holding segments during <strong>the</strong> period.<br />
