This
is primarily due to increase in sales and construction progress contributed by
on-going developments in East Ledang, Nusa Bayu, Nusa Idaman, Symphony Hills,
Summer Suites, MK 28 and Quintet. MK28 was completed on time and handed over to
the buyers in December 2012. The group has been able to finally capitalize on
the catalysts projects such as Legoland, Puteri Harbour Family Theme Park and
Marlborough College drawing in participation by Singaporean investors,
generating demand for properties in Nusajaya. The Group will meet this demand
by launching several phases of residential developments in East Ledang, Nusa
Idaman and Puteri Harbour in 2013. Apart from projects in Nusajaya, it is also
planning to launch several other residential developments in Bangi, Kajang and
MK22 in Mont'Kiara.
Recent launches such as Arcoris in Mont'Kiara, Teega in
Puteri Harbour, Verdi Eco-dominiums in Cyberjaya are at an early stage of
construction. They are expected to contribute favourably to the Group's
financial performance in 2013.
On-going projects have unbilled sales of RM2.3 billion as
at 31 December 2012 which should translate into strong year for 2013.
