The internal audit reviews the internal controls in the activities of the Group s businesses based on the annual audit plan, which is presented to the Audit Committee for approval. The internal audit adopts a risk-based approach and prepares its strategy and plan based on the risk profiles of the business units of the Group. Other Key Elements of Internal Control Apart from the above, the other key elements of the Group Internal Control System include: - Clear definition of responsibilities to the Board, Group Executive Chairman, Group Managing Director, Board Committees and operating units through well defined terms of references, position descriptions, organisation structure and authority levels for all aspects of the business as set out in the Board Charter and Limits of Authority of MTD Capital Bhd, the holding company. Policies and procedures manuals for key processes are documented and regularly updated for application across the Group. Where appropriate, certain companies have the ISO accreditation for their operational processes. Comprehensive systems of operations and financial reporting to the Board based on quarterly results and annual budgets. In the event of variances, measures are followed up and subsequent action proposed or taken. Provisions of regular and comprehensive information to management and employees. Proper guidelines for hiring and termination of staff, training programmes for staff and annual performance appraisal are in place to achieve the objective of ensuring staff are competent to carry out their responsibilities. Regular visits to operating units by senior management and internal auditors. Conclusion The Board is of the view that the system of internal control being instituted throughout the Group is sound and effective. Notwithstanding this, reviews of all control procedures will be continuously carried out to ensure the ongoing effectiveness and adequacy of the system of internal control, so as to safeguard shareholders investment and the Group s assets. The external auditors have reviewed this Statement on Internal Control for inclusion in the annual report for financial year ended 31 March 2005 and reported to the Board that no material issue has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the statement is inconsistent with their understanding of the process adopted by the Board in reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control. 14 Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report

group executive chairman s statement penyata pengerusi eksekutif kumpulan Dear valued shareholders, On behalf of the Board of Metacorp, I am pleased to present to you the Twenty- Second Annual Report and Financial Statements of Metacorp Group of Companies for financial year ended 31 March 2005. Para pemegang saham yang dihargai sekalian, Saya bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah Metacorp dengan sukacitanya ingin membentangkan kepada anda sekalian Laporan Tahunan dan Penyata Kewangan Kedua Puluh Dua bagi Syarikat-syarikat dalam Kumpulan Metacorp untuk tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Mac 2005. 16

FINANCIAL PERFOANCE The year under review remained a challenging one for the Group. As mentioned in the 2004 Annual Report, the cessation of the Jalan Pahang toll concession on 18 March 2004 and losses at our associate companies impacted on the 2005 financial results. Group revenue of 116.44 million and pre-tax profit of 20.0 million for the year in review represented a year-on-year decline of 9% and 51% respectively. DIVIDEND In view of the challenges ahead and the need to conserve our resources, the Board of Directors recommends a payment of a first and final dividend of 1.0 sen per share. (2004: 70 sen per share) CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS In line with the Group and the Company s aim of expanding our portfolio beyond Malaysia s shores, a wholly-owned subsidiary Metacorp Australia Pty Ltd (MAPL) was incorporated on 8 September 2004 to seek out business opportunities in Australia. On 20 September 2004, MAPL entered into a Share Sale and Subscription Agreement to acquire a 50% stake in Whitsundays Hermitage Pty Ltd (WHPL), a construction and property development outfit that is currently developing resort apartments in Queensland, Australia. The quarter ended 31 March 2005, saw the Group further scale down its stake in Trenergy (Malaysia) Bhd to a mere 1.7%. The disposal of 12 million shares at 3.20 per share on the open market realised an exceptional gain at Group level of 9.72 million. Concurrently, as part of a group restructure of parent company, MTD Capital Berhad (MTD), Metacorp has proposed to divest Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd (Metramac) to MTD InfraPerdana Bhd (MTD Infra). The proposed disposal is expected to return a gain of 70 million at Company level but a loss of approximately 4.7 million at Group level. PRESTASI KEWANGAN Tahun yang ditinjau masih merupakan tahun yang mencabar bagi Kumpulan. Seperti yang dinyatakan di dalam Laporan Tahunan 2004, penamatan konsesi tol Jalan Pahang pada 18 Mac 2004 dan kerugian di peringkat syarikat bersekutu yang menerima kesan pada keputusan kewangan 2005. Kumpulan mencatat hasil berjumlah 116.44 juta dan keuntungan sebelum cukai berjumlah 20.0 juta bagi tahun yang ditinjau, masing-masing mencatat penurunan dari tahun ke tahun sebanyak 9% dan 51%. DIVIDEN Berdasarkan cabaran masa hadapan dan keperluan untuk memastikan keteguhan sumber kami, Lembaga Pengarah mengesyorkan bayaran dividen pertama dan akhir sebanyak 1.0 sen sesaham. (2004: 70 sen sesaham). PERKEMBANGAN PENTING KORPORAT Selaras dengan matlamat Kumpulan dan Syarikat untuk memperluaskan portfolio kita ke luar sempadan Malaysia, sebuah syarikat subsidiari milik penuh iaitu Metacorp Australia Pty Ltd (MAPL) telah diperbadankan pada 8 September 2004 untuk merebut peluang perniagaan di Australia. Pada 20 September 2004, MAPL telah memeterai Perjanjian Jualan dan Langganan Saham untuk mengambilalih 50% kepentingan dalam Whitsundays Hermitage Pty Ltd (WHPL), sebuah syarikat pembinaan dan pembangunan hartanah yang sedang membangunkan pangsapuri peranginan di Queensland, Australia.

group executive chairman s statement (cont d) penyata pengerusi eksekutif kumpulan (samb.) PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT Property development division continued to be the biggest major contributor to Group revenue, recording total sales of 55.5 million, up 53% from 36.4 million in 2004. Of this, 48.7 million was from residential and commercial/industrial properties and 6.87 million from property letting activities. With the maturity of the Taman Tasik Utama (TTU) location, supported by an on-going marketing and promotions programme, TTU enjoyed a high take-up rate for all products launched during the period under review. The mixed-development continues to be the preferred township in Melaka for both personal and investment purposes. Complementing this is the low interest rate regime and stable economic outlook that have continued to engender consumers confidence in the property market. Whilst residential products remain the main thrust of the business, MPSB also took advantage of every opportunity to market its commercial and industrial properties by capitalizing on the State Government s new location at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in front of TTU and the newly-opened Ayer Keroh Paya Rumput highway. Recurring income from the rental of properties to Kolej Universiti Teknikal Kebangsaan Malaysia (KUTKM) remained stable and a source of regular revenue for the Group. TOLL OPERATIONS With the full impact of cessation of tolling at Jalan Cheras and Jalan Pahang, as anticipated, toll collection declined by approximately 37% to 49.4 million. However, toll revenue and traffic volume on both the East-West Link Expressway and Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway continued on an upward trend. For the 12 months ended 31 March 2005, total traffic volume on the two expressways was up 6% to 73.0 million, from 68.8 million in the previous period while total takings were 49.3 million, a 5% increase from 46.7 million. Suku tahun berakhir 31 Mac 2005 menyaksikan Kumpulan mengurangkan lagi kepentingannya dalam Trenergy (Malaysia) Bhd kepada hanya 1.7%. Penjualan sebanyak 12 juta saham pada harga 3.20 sesaham di pasaran terbuka menghasilkan keuntungan terkecuali di peringkat Kumpulan berjumlah 9.72 juta. Di samping itu, sebagai sebahagian daripada langkah penyusunan semula syarikat induk, MTD Capital Berhad (MTD), Metacorp telah mencadangkan penjualan pelaburan dalam Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd (Metramac) kepada MTD InfraPerdana Bhd (MTD Infra). Cadangan penjualan tersebut dijangka akan menghasilkan keuntungan sebanyak 70 juta di peringkat Syarikat tetapi kerugian kira-kira 4.7 juta di peringkat Kumpulan. PEMBANGUNAN HARTANAH Bahagian pembangunan hartanah terus merupakan penyumbang terbesar kepada hasil Kumpulan, dengan mencatatkan jualan berjumlah 55.5 juta, meningkat 53% daripada 36.4 juta pada 2004. Daripada jumlah tersebut, 48.7 juta diperolehi daripada hartanah kediaman dan komersial/perindustrian dan 6.87 juta daripada aktiviti penyewaan hartanah. Dengan lokasi Taman Tasik Utama (TTU) telah mencapai kematangan, dan disokong oleh program pemasaran dan promosi yang berterusan, TTU menikmati kadar pembelian yang tinggi bagi semua produk yang dilancarkan pada tempoh yang ditinjau. Pembangunan campuran terus menjadi pilihan di Melaka untuk tujuan peribadi mahupun pelaburan. Keadaan ini disokong oleh regim kadar faedah yang rendah dan kestabilan ekonomi yang terus meneguhkan keyakinan para pengguna terhadap pasaran hartanah. Walaupun produk hartanah kediaman kekal sebagai tonggak utama perniagaan, MPSB juga memanfaatkan setiap peluang untuk memasarkan hartanah komersial dan perindustriannya dengan memanfaatkan lokasi baru Pusat Perdagangan Antarabangsa Melaka (MITC) Kerajaan Negeri Melaka yang terletak di hadapan TTU dan juga lebuhraya Ayer Keroh Paya Rumput yang baru dibuka. Pendapatan berulang daripada penyewaan hartanah Kolej Universiti Teknikal Kebangsaan Malaysia (KUTKM) kekal stabil dan menjadi salah satu sumber tetap hasil bagi Kumpulan. Traffic on the East-West Link Expressway recorded an expressive 6.9% growth while the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway was slightly above forecast at 5%. 18 Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report

ENERGY Pendinginan Megajana Sdn Bhd (Megajana) saw revenue decline by 8% to 10.9 million compared with 11.9 million in 2004. This was attributable to slower take up from companies operating in Cyberjaya. QUARRYING On 18 January 2005, Dimensi Timal Sdn Bhd (DTSB) signed a concession agreement with the state government of Kelantan Darul Naim for the exclusive rights to undertake quarrying activities in Jedok, Tanah Merah, Kelantan. Under the 50-year concession, DTSB has the right to extract granite dimension stone within a 268-acre area with an estimated reserve of 600 million cubic metres. PROSPECTS As mentioned earlier, the hiving off of Metramac to MTD Infra will have a positive impact on the Company. On a Group basis, the loss of a steady income stream from toll operations will be felt. However, the Board is optimistic that any loss will be mitigated by improved performances from the remaining subsidiaries. With residential development continuing to be encouraging in the property sector, TTU will maintain its strategy of introducing a variety of products to cater to different income groups in the coming 12 months. An on-going marketing plan, combined with the development of products that reflect innovation will continue to add value to the Group s earnings in the new financial year. Similarly, the Melaka government s initiatives in the Ayer Keroh Corridor will have a positive ripple effect on TTU s efforts to market its commercial and industrial products. In addition the Group will see a full year contribution from its investment in Bangunan Shell which is expected to generate positive returns in view of it full tenancy. OPERASI KUTIPAN TOL Kutipan tol berkurangan kira-kira 37% kepada 49.4 juta berikutan kesan penuh daripada penamatan kutipan tol di Jalan Cheras dan Jalan Pahang. Walau bagaimanapun, hasil tol dan volum trafik di Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur Barat dan Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Seremban terus menunjukkan arah aliran yang meningkat. Bagi tempoh 12 bulan berakhir 31 Mac 2005, jumlah volum trafik di kedua-dua lebuhraya tersebut bertambah 6% kepada 73.0 juta, daripada 68.8 juta pada tempoh yang lepas. Sementara itu, hasil pula meningkat sebanyak 5% daripada 46.7 juta kepada 49.3 juta. Trafik di Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur-Barat mencatatkan pertumbuhan membanggakan sebanyak 6.9% sementara Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Seremban mencatatkan bilangan trafik lebih sedikit daripada ramalan iaitu 5%. TENAGA Hasil daripada Pendinginan Megajana Sdn Bhd (Megajana) berkurangan sebanyak 8% kepada 10.9 juta berbanding dengan 11.9 juta pada 2004. Keputusan ini disebabkan oleh kelembapan langganan oleh syarikat-syarikat di Cyberjaya. PERKUARIAN Pada 18 Januari 2005, Dimensi Timal Sdn Bhd (DTSB) telah menandatangani perjanjian konsesi dengan kerajaan negeri Kelantan Darul Naim bagi mendapat hak eksklusif menjalankan aktiviti perkuarian di Jedok, Tanah Merah, Kelantan. Di bawah konsesi selama 50 tahun itu, DTSB berhak mengeluarkan batu granit di kawasan seluas 268 ekar yang mempunyai rizab berjumlah 600 juta meter padu. PROSPEK Seperti yang dinyatakan sebelum ini, penjualan Metramac kepada MTD Infra akan memberi kesan positif kepada Syarikat. Di peringkat Kumpulan, kehilangan aliran pendapatan teguh daripada operasi pengutipan tol akan dirasai. Walau bagaimanapun, Lembaga Pengarah yakin bahawa sebarang kerugian akan diimbangi oleh prestasi yang bertambah baik daripada syarikat-syarikat subsidiari yang lain.

group executive chairman s statement (cont d) penyata pengerusi eksekutif kumpulan (samb.) Following the directive from the Majlis Daerah Sepang (MDS) and Multimedia Development Corporation (MDC) for all buildings in Cyberjaya to use chilled water as a priority in their air-conditioning systems, new building owners are showing a preference for Megajana s services versus operating their own standalone system. This in turn, enhances Megajana s prospects as the demand for chilled water is expected to grow in tandem with the expansion of Cyberjaya s business community. The contract capacity for financial year 2006 is anticipated to increase to 7,471 Refrigerated Ton (RT), accounting for about 62% of plant capacity. Based on Cyberjaya s current development trend, the plant should reach its maximum capacity within the next two to three years. Whilst it is still early to determine the prospects of our quarrying operations, the government s call to use local products in all major construction projects bode well for DTSB s future as this presents an ideal opportunity for us to penetrate the local market. Besides a host of potential domestic customers, DTSB s strategy is to eventually offer the international market an option to the Italian granite Serrizo via a very competitive price structure. There has been limited progress on our joint venture company, E-Idaman Sdn Bhd as negotiations with the relevant authorities are still on-going. We however, are optimistic on the long term prospects of this privatisation and will continue to monitor the progress of this venture. While the economic outlook for Malaysia remains positive, external elements such as high crude oil prices and a slowdown in the global economy are expected to have an impact on Malaysia s overall performance in 2005. However, the government s decision to fast-forward some Ninth Malaysia Plan projects worth 2.4 billion, coupled with a resilient domestic market should see the economy expand at the forecasted 6%. Dengan pembangunan kediaman terus menggalakkan dalam sektor hartanah, TTU akan mengekalkan strateginya untuk memperkenalkan kepelbagaian produk untuk menepati keperluan kumpulan pelanggan yang mempunyai pendapatan yang berbeza-beza dalam tempoh 12 bulan akan datang. Satu pelan pemasaran, berserta dengan pembangunan produk yang menampilkan kekuatan ciri-ciri inovasi akan terus menambah nilai kepada pendapatan Kumpulan pada tahun kewangan yang baru. Inisiatif kerajaan Melaka berhubung Koridor Ayer Keroh juga akan memberi kesan positif terhadap usaha TTU untuk memasarkan produk komersial dan perindustriannya. Di samping itu, Kumpulan juga akan mendapat sumbangan satu tahun penuh daripada pelaburannya dalam Bangunan Shell yang dijangka akan memberi pulangan positif hasil daripada kadar sewaan penuh yang dicatatkan oleh hartanah tersebut. Sebagai mematuhi arahan daripada Majlis Daerah Sepang (MDS) dan Multimedia Development Corporation (MDC) supaya semua bangunan di Cyberjaya mengutamakan penggunaan air dingin dalam sistem pendingin udara mereka, ramai pemilik bangunan baru yang menunjukkan minat terhadap perkhidmatan Megajana berbanding menggunakan sistem operasi mereka sendiri. Keadaan ini mempertingkatkan prospek masa hadapan Megajana kerana permintaan terhadap air dingin dijangka akan bertambah selaras dengan perkembangan komuniti perniagaan di Cyberjaya. Kapasiti kontrak bagi tahun kewangan 2006 dijangka bertambah kepada 7,471 Refrigerated Ton (RT), yang mewakili kira-kira 62% daripada kapasiti loji. Berasaskan kepada arah aliran pembangunan Cyberjaya sekarang, loji tersebut dijangka akan mencapai kapasiti maksimum dalam tempoh dua hingga tiga tahun akan datang. Walaupun masih awal untuk menentukan prospek operasi perkuarian kita, namun seruan kerajaan untuk mempertingkatkan penggunaan produk tempatan dalam semua projek pembinaan utama memberi harapan yang cerah kepada masa depan DTSB kerana keadaan ini merupakan peluang yang baik untuk menembusi pasaran tempatan. Selain daripada beberapa pelanggan potensi dalam negeri, DTSB mempunyai pilihan dalam pasaran antarabangsa dengan menawarkan produknya kepada syarikat granit Itali Serrizo pada harga yang kompetitif. Syarikat usahasama kita, E-Idaman Sdn Bhd mencapai perkembangan yang agak terhad kerana perbincangan dengan pihak berkaitan sedang berlangsung. Walau bagaimanapun, kita yakin berhubung prospek jangka panjang langkah penswastaan ini dan akan terus memantau perkembangan usahaniaga ini. 20 Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report

Against this backdrop, your Board remains cautiously optimistic about the year ahead.

Namun, keputusan Kerajaan untuk mempercepatkan pelaksanaan projek-projek di bawah Rancangan Malaysia Kesembilan bernilai 2.4 bilion, serta disokong oleh pasaran domestik yang berdaya tahan dijangka akan membolehkan ekonomi berkembang pada kadar 6% seperti yang diramalkan. Berasaskan keadaan ini, Lembaga Pengarah anda kekal yakin dan berhati-hati berhubung prospek tahun hadapan. Namun, Lembaga Pengarah anda yakin bahawa kita mempunyai sumber dan struktur untuk memanfaatkan peluang yang sedia ada dan juga peluang baru bagi mempertingkatkan pendapatan dan membolehkan Kumpulan meluaskan pengaruhnya di peringkat domestik dan luar negeri dalam jangka masa sederhana hingga jangka masa panjang dalam bidang-bidang perniagaan yang diceburinya. TERIMA KASIH DAN PENGHARGAAN Bagi pihak Lembaga Pengarah, saya ingin mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi terima kasih dan penghargaan kepada anda sekalian, para pemegang saham kami, atas sokongan dan keyakinan berterusan anda terhadap Metacorp.

Program promosi yang aktif seperti pelancaran pangsapuri kos rendah oleh Ketua Menteri Melaka, berserta dengan beberapa pertunjukan bergerak dan usaha jualan di

of the low-cost apartments by the Chief Minister of Melaka, coupled with numerous road shows and sales efforts throughout the year provided occasions for several successful sales campaigns.

operations review (cont d) tinjauan operasi (samb.) TOLL OPERATIONS For the 12 months ended 31 March 2005, total traffic volume on the two expressways was up 6% to 73.0 million, from 68.8 million in the previous period while total takings were 49.3 million, a 5% increase from 46.7 million. The East-West Link Expressway s growth was 6% and for the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway, 5%. The uptrend in traffic volume on the East West Link Expressway can be attributed to improvement works being carried out in the Cheras area that entails the construction of a new interchange at Taman Segar and road-widening works at Jalan Loke Yew. To bypass the traffic congestion along Jalan Cheras, many motorists have diverted to the East-West Link Expressway. The construction works, which commenced in late 2003, are expected to be completed in over the next 2 years. OPERASI KUTIPAN TOL Bagi tempoh 12 bulan berakhir 31 Mac 2005, jumlah volum trafik di kedua-dua lebuhraya kami meningkat 6%, daripada 68.8 juta pada tempoh sebelum ini kepada 73.0 juta. Hasil yang dicapai berjumlah 49.3 juta, bertambah 5% daripada 46.7 juta tahun lepas. Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur-Barat menampilkan pertumbuhan sebanyak 6% sementara Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Seremban, 5%. Peningkatan dalam volum trafik di Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur-Barat boleh dikaitkan dengan kerja peningkatan yang dijalankan di kawasan Cheras yang meliputi pembinaan sebuah persimpangan bertingkat di Taman Segar dan kerja meluaskan jalan di Jalan Loke Yew. Bagi mengelakkan kesesakan lalulintas di sepanjang Jalan Cheras, ramai pemandu menukar laluan mereka ke Lebuhraya Hubungan Timur-Barat. Kerja-kerja pembinaan, yang bermula pada penghujung tahun 2003, dijangka akan siap dalam tempoh 2 tahun akan datang. 24 Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report

Improved traffic volume on the Kuala Lumpur-Seremban Expressway is due in part to the reported good sales of motor vehicles and is in line with Halcrow Consultants Sdn Bhd s forecast for Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan Bhd (PLUS) of an average increase in traffic between 2002 and 2006 of 5% per annum. Last but not least, the better economic outlook has seen a return of casual traffic as motorists with a higher disposable income indulge in more travelling. On 1 July 2004, Touch n Go became the sole electronic toll collection (ETC) system for all toll roads in the country. On our two toll roads, where smartcard sales and usage have been increasing steadily since Touch n Go s inception in 1997, two SmartTag lanes; one on each toll road, were installed and became operational in April 2005, as part of the nationwide ETC implementation process. As a responsible highway operator, we participated in the Malaysian Highway Authority s five-month Customer Satisfaction Index Survey launched in June 2004. The study was carried out in line with the authority s aim of providing excellent service to all highway users. Volum trafik yang semakin bertambah di Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Seremban sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh jualan kenderaan bermotor yang menggalakkan dan selaras dengan kajian Halcrow Consultants Sdn Bhd yang meramalkan peningkatan purata trafik di Projek Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan Bhd (PLUS) antara tahun 2002 dan 2006 sebanyak 5% setahun. Selain itu, keadaan ekonomi yang lebih baik menyaksikan trafik pulih kepada tahap biasa kerana pengguna lebuhraya yang mempunyai pendapatan boleh belanja lebih tinggi tidak teragak-agak untuk menggunakan lebuhraya dengan lebih kerap. Pada 1 Julai 2004, Touch n Go menjadi sistem kutipan tol elektronik (ETC) tunggal bagi semua jalanraya bertol di negara ini. Di kedua-dua jalanraya bertol kami, di mana jualan dan penggunaan Touch n Go mencatat peningkatan kukuh sejak pengenalannya pada tahun 1997, dua lorong SmartTag; satu di setiap jalanraya bertol, telah dipasang dan mula beroperasi pada bulan April 2005, sebagai sebahagian daripada proses pelaksanaan ETC di seluruh negara. Sebagai pengendali lebuhraya bertol yang bertanggungjawab, kami telah mengambil bahagian dalam Kaji Selidik Indeks Kepuasan Pelanggan selama lima bulan yang dilaksanakan oleh Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia bermula pada bulan Jun 2004. Kajian tersebut dijalankan sejajar dengan matlamat lembaga untuk menyediakan perkhidmatan yang cemerlang kepada semua pengguna lebuhraya. Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report 25

With this, the contract capacity for subscribed chilled water increased accordingly, from 5,525 Refrigerated Ton (RT) to 6,011 RT. In June 2004, plant capacity was upgraded to 12,000 RT following the commissioning of two units of 1,800 RT ice chillers and Thermal Energy Storage (TES).

centre is now scheduled to be commissioned in April 2005. Although the contract capacity is for 550 RT, this is expected to increase to 700 RT by June 2005. With support from the local authorities and Multimedia Development Corporation (MDC), and an aggressive marketing programme, new building owners in Cyberjaya are now more receptive to the option of using Megajana s chilled water instead of running their own standalone system. By the end of current financial year, Megajana s contract capacity is expected to increase to 7,471 RT or about 62% of plant capacity. Based on the current trend of development in Cyberjaya, we anticipate plant capacity to reach its maximum by 2007/2008. dijadual akan bermula pada bulan April 2005. Walaupun kapasiti kontrak sebanyak 550 RT sahaja, namun kapasiti tersebut dijangka akan bertambah kepada 700 RT menjelang bulan Jun 2005. Hasil sokongan pihak berkuasa tempatan dan Multimedia Development Corporation (MDC), serta usaha pemasaran yang agresif, para pemilik bangunan baru di Cyberjaya kini lebih tertarik untuk mempertimbangkan pilihan menggunakan air dingin Megajana berbanding mengendalikan sistem mereka sendiri. Menjelang akhir tahun kewangan semasa, kapasiti kontrak Megajana dijangka akan meningkat kepada 7,471 RT atau kira-kira 62% daripada kapasiti loji. Berasaskan kepada arah aliran pembangunan semasa di Cyberjaya, kami menjangka kapasiti loji akan mencapai tahap maksimum pada 2007/2008. Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report 27

operations review (cont d) tinjauan operasi (samb.) QUARRYING Our quarrying operation arm, Dimensi Timal Sdn Bhd (DTSB) signed a 50-year concession agreement with the Kelantan Darul Naim state government for the exclusive rights to undertake quarrying activities in Jedok, Tanah Merah, Kelantan. The concession area of approximately 268 acres is one kilometre south of the East-West Highway and has an estimated reserve of 600 million cubic metres (cu m), or 1.5 billion metric tonnes of monolithic mother rock. Being a natural building material much sought after for its texture, tonality, durability and strength, DTSB s granite has unique characteristics of coarse-grained texture and bluish black tonality. This export grade granite has a distinct texture and consistency in colour and pattern, and many similarities with Italy s Serrizo granite. A growing demand for dimension stone granite, both domestically and globally, bodes well for DTSB s prospects. In the first year of production, DTSB plans to extract approximately 2,500 cu m, gradually increasing to 7,200 cu m by year four. Site-clearing work, preparation of access road and platforms began in March 2005 and actual quarrying activity is expected to start in August 2005 with the maiden primary block anticipated to be out in the same month. PERKUARIAN Operasi kuari kami, Dimensi Timal Sdn Bhd (DTSB) telah menandatangani perjanjian konsesi 50 tahun dengan kerajaan negeri Kelantan Darul Naim bagi mendapatkan hak eksklusif untuk menjalankan aktiviti perkuarian di Jedok, Tanah Merah, Kelantan. Kawasan konsesi yang seluas lebih kurang 268 ekar terletak kira-kira satu kilometer ke selatan Lebuhraya Timur-Barat. Kawasan tersebut mempunyai rizab yang dianggarkan berjumlah 600 juta meter padu, atau 1.5 bilion tan metrik batu keras monolithic. Granit DTSB adalah bahan binaan bangunan semulajadi yang sangat sesuai kerana tekstur, warna, daya tahan dan kekuatannya. Ia juga mempunyai ciri-ciri unik iaitu tekstur berira kasar dan berwarna hitam kebiruan. Granit bergred eksport ini mempunyai tekstur istimewa dan warna serta corak yang konsisten, yang mempunyai banyak persamaan dengan granit Serrizo dari Itali. Permintaan yang semakin meningkat bagi batu granit ini di pasaran domestik dan juga global, menyediakan prospek yang menarik bagi DTSB. Pada tahun pertama pengeluarannya, DTSB merancang untuk mengeluarkan lebih kurang 2,500 meter padu, dan secara beransur-ansur meningkat kepada 7,200 meter padu pada tahun ke-empat. Kerja pembersihan tapak kuari telah bermula pada bulan Mac 2005 dengan blok pertama dijangka akan dikeluarkan dalam bulan yang sama. 28 Metacorp Berhad \\ 2005 annual report

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY The year in review saw the toll division involved in a host of community-related activities. During Ramadhan, Muslim road users were hosted to buka puasa and terawih prayers at several mosques within the concession areas while kurma packs were handed out to those who could not make it home in time for the breaking of fast. And Malaysia s multiracial diversity was celebrated with the distribution of goodies to motorists as a gesture of goodwill and appreciation during the Hari Raya Aidil-Fitri, Deepavali and Chinese New Year holidays. For the country s 47th birthday, we celebrated with the distribution of Jalur Gemilang flags to motorists, to engender greater national pride in all Malaysians. TANGGUNGJAWAB SOSIAL KORPORAT Tahun yang ditinjau menyaksikan bahagian tol terlibat dalam beberapa aktiviti yang berkaitan dengan kemasyarakatan. Semasa bulan Ramadhan, para pengguna beragama Islam diraikan di majlis berbuka puasa dan solat tarawih di beberapa buah masjid di kawasan konsesi. Selain itu, bungkusan buah kurma juga disumbangkan kepada mereka yang tidak sempat berbuka puasa di rumah. Bahagian ini juga menyampaikan pelbagai buah tangan kepada pengguna lebuhraya sebagai lambang semangat muhibah dan menghargai perpaduan kaum di Malaysia semasa cuti sambutan Hari Raya Aidil-Fitri, Deepavali dan tahun Baru Cina. Kami juga telah mengagihkan Jalur Gemilang kepada pengguna lebuhraya untuk menyemarakkan sambutan Kemerdekaan Negara ke 47, demi menyuburkan semangat cinta negara di kalangan rakyat Malaysia.
