8 Additional information required by the KLSE s Listing Requirements 1. Review of performance The Group s profit before taxation for the second quarter and the six months ended 2002 have increased by 49% and 121% respectively, as compared to the previous year. This is mainly due to higher sales revenue and the resultant economies of scale achieved on the back of higher production volume. Like the preceding year, the Group experienced the effects of the government's pump priming efforts to stimulate the economy in the current quarter and financial year to date. 2. Variation of results against preceding quarter For the quarter under review, the Group recorded a profit before tax of RM3,020,000. This is comparable to the profit before tax of RM3,159,000 recorded in the previous quarter. 3. Current year prospects In a recent announcement the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) revised its estimate for Malaysian's GDP growth from 4.5% to 4.0% for this fiscal year. However, the Board is confident of the Group's prospects for the remaining period to the end of the financial year despite a difficult and uncertain world economic environment. The Directors are reasonably optimistic, barring unforeseen circumstances, that the Group's operating profits for the current financial year will exceed that achieved in the last financial year. 4. Profit forecast Not applicable as no profit forecast was published. Page 8
