     Preceding Quarter
     For this quarter ended 31 January 2002, the Group has recorded a pre-tax 
     profit of RM1.251 million as compared to a pre-tax loss of RM4.380 million 
     for the previous quarter ended 31 October 2001. The current quarter pre-tax

16.  Review of Performance of the Company and its Principal Subsidiaries
     For this quarter ended 31 January 2002, the Group has recorded a pre-tax 
     profit of RM1.251 million as compared to pre-tax profit of RM2.604 million 
     for the corresponding quarter ended 31 January 2001. The decrease is mainly 
     due to fall in profits generated from property development operations.

     There were no material events subsequent to the first quarter ended 31 
     January 2002 till the date of this report.

18.  Seasonal or Cyclical Factors
     The business operations of the Group are generally affected by various 
     major festive seasons in December 2001 and January 2002.

19.  Prospects for the Remaining Period of the Financial Year
     Financial year 2002 is expected to present its own challenges to the Group 
     in the face of continued global economic uncertainties through a phase of 
     recovery. The country's moderate growth forecast and an expected weak 
     consumer sentiment will bear challenges for players in the property 
     development business. However, pro-active measures and stimulus packages 
     introduced by the Government to revive the country's economy will provide 
     impetus to stimulate spending and domestic consumption. Barring any 
     unforeseen circumstances, the Board is cautiously optimistic that the Group 
     will remain profitable in the remaining period of the financial year.

20.  Shortfall in the Profit Guarantee
     Not applicable for the financial quarter under review.

21.  Dividend
     There was no dividend proposed for the current financial year to date.
