NOTES:
1) Proxy:
   A member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of him. Where a member appoints more than
   one (1) proxy, the appointment shall be invalid unless he specifies the proportions of his holdings to be represented by each proxy. To be valid, the proxy form
   duly completed must be deposited at the Registered Office of the Company not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time for holding the meeting. If
   the appointor is a corporation, this form must be executed under its common seal or under the hand of its attorney.

   The Company is actively pursuing business opportunities in prospective areas so as to broaden the operating base and earnings potential of the Company.

   resolution by the shareholders of the Company at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, the Directors would avoid delay and cost of convening further

              FINANCIAL REVIEW


              The Group has recorded an after tax profit of RM2.250 million, representing an increase of
              8.6% increase over the previous year's results. This pattern towards better margins continues
              on account of our focus on cost management and migration towards more value added
              projects.



              O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W


              As the industry continues to evolve to a higher level of sophistication and in order to stay
              ahead of the competition, we are continuously retooling our delivery processes and
              researching into product designs to meet with greater consumer awareness. The Group's
              strategy of maintaining a geographical mix of projects also assists to achieve a better risk
              adjusted return and broaden revenue base. New projects and fresh launches in Kuantan,
              Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Selangor continue to affirm this strategy.

BANDAR LIGAMAS

In Klang, a turnkey building partnership is near completion with its delivery of 700 units of
affordable homes in partnership with landowner, TA Enterprise Bhd. In Selangor, during the
fourth quarter of year 2004, we handed over 293 units of luxury homes at Kota Damansara,
Selangor for landowner Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS). The Group's delivery
track record and its construction know-how, such as for the aforementioned projects, continue
to demonstrably prove pivotal in securing turnkey building partnerships particularly with
institutional landowners.


On our own landbank, the Kuantan project, currently still the largest private mixed township in
East Coast Malaysia, "Seri Mahkota Aman" continues to do well, having just handed over a total
of 200 units of terrace houses this year alone; with its location being fortuitously located at the
main toll exit of the new East West Highway, it is expected to continue its reliable performance.


At the premium end, "The Peak" project in Kota Kinabalu, having completed the now fully
occupied condominium tower, we have embarked our second phase of gated garden homes,
"Signal Hill Park" @ The Peak.




                                                                                                           17

     Meanwhile, our flagship development adjacent to Kuala Lumpur's north Metropolitan Park located
     at the gentrified axis of Jalan Kuching and Jalan Ipoh, now in its sixth phase with the commercial
     component launched in the fourth quarter of year 2004. Our equity joint venture with PKNS,
     located at the foothills of Genting Highlands, colloquially known as “Bandar Ligamas” continues to
     bring affordable landed living in serene surroundings to KL suburbanites. To-date more than 5,000
     mixed commercial and residential units have been completed and delivered.


     Paling Industries Sdn Bhd, the Group's manufacturing associate in the water and waste water
     transmission industry continues to lead the domestic plumbing market volume with its brand
     franchise and has also been increasing its penetration into the key regional export markets.



     ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK


     With the country's foreign exchange policy now firmly reworked back within the international
     framework, thus checking inflation and enabling the continuance of accommodative monetary
     policies, we expect further expansion in investment demand and an outlook for the property sector
     that should reflect the country's strong fundamentals. The Group is optimistic of its ability to
     continue offering sophisticated building solutions to its clients, partners and customers in line with
     their increasing wish for better lifestyles both for living and working.

                 Kumpulan telah mencatatkan keuntungan selepas cukai sebanyak RM2.250 juta, peningkatan
                 sebanyak 8.6% dari keuntungan yang dicatat pada tahun sebelum ini. Corak pertumbuhan ke
                 arah margin yang lebih baik ini adalah berpandukan fokus kami terhadap pengurusan kos serta
                 peralihan kepada projek-projek yang bernilai lebih tinggi.



                 ULASAN OPERASI


                 Memandangkan industri ini terus berkembang ke tahap yang lebih sofistikated, seiringan
                 dengan keinginan untuk sentiasa berada di hadapan pasaran persaingan, maka kami akan terus
                 mengubahsuai dan memperlengkapi kembali proses serahan serta mengkajiselidik rekabentuk
                 produk agar kesemuanya dapat memenuhi kehendak pengguna secara meluas. Strategi
                 Kumpulan untuk terus mengendali projek-projek di pelbagai lokasi geografikal yang baik turut
                 menyumbang kepada pulangan penyelarasan risiko yang lebih tinggi di samping
                 memperluaskan pangkal perolehan. Projek-projek baru dan pelancaran terkini di Kuantan, Kota
                 Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuching dan Selangor turut mengukuhkan strategi ini.

Projek usahasama pembangunan turnkey di Kelang dengan pemilik tanah, TA Enterprise Bhd.,
telah hampir siap dengan penyerahan sebanyak 700 unit rumah mampu milik. Pada sukuan
keempat tahun 2004, kami telah berjaya siapserahkan sebanyak 293 unit rumah mewah di Kota
Damansara, Selangor kepada pemilik tanah, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS).
Rekod penyerahan Kumpulan yang baik berserta kearifannya dalam bidang pembinaan,
sepertimana dalam projek-projek yang disebutkan tadi, akan terus memainkan peranan yang
penting dalam menjamin keupayaan Kumpulan untuk memperolehi projek usahasama
pembinaan turnkey terutamanya dengan pemilik-pemilik tanah institusi.


Tanah simpanan kami di Kuantan yang dikenali sebagai “Seri Mahkota Aman” yang pada ketika
ini masih merupakan projek perbandaran campuran swasta yang terbesar di Pantai Timur
Semenanjung Malaysia telah terus menunjukkan prestasi yang baik. Dalam tahun ini sahaja, ia
telah berjaya menyiapserahkan sebanyak 200 unit rumah teres. Lokasinya yang terletak secara
kebetulannya di tol utama keluar masuk Lebuhraya Timur Barat dijangka akan terus
menyumbang terhadap prestasi yang memuaskan bagi projek ini.


Di peringkat premium pula, projek menara kondominium “The Peak” di Kota Kinabalu telah pun
siap dibina dan kini penuh diduduki. Malahan, kini kami juga telah memulakan projek fasa
kedua berciri taman kediaman berpagar yang dikenali sebagai “Signal Hill Park” @ The Peak.


Sementara itu, projek pembangunan utama kami di utara bandaraya Kuala Lumpur yang
terletak bersebelahan dengan Taman Metropolitan dan di persimpangan Jalan Kuching dan Jalan
Ipoh kini telah memasuki peringkat fasa keenam dengan komponen komersialnya dilancarkan
pada sukuan keempat tahun 2004.

     rangka antarabangsa serta penyesuaian terhadap kadar inflasi dan polisi kewangan, kami
     menjangkakan perkembangan yang lebih tinggi dalam permintaan pelaburan dan juga tinjauan
     ke atas sektor perumahan yang mampu menggambarkan kekukuhan dasar negara ini.
     Kumpulan ini amat optimistik atas keupayaannya untuk terus menawarkan cara penyelesaian
     pembangunan yang canggih kepada para pembeli, rakan sekutu dan pelanggannya, selaras
     dengan keinginannya untuk membentuk gaya hidup yang lebih baik dalam aspek kediaman dan

       INTRODUCTION

       In accordance with paragraph 15.27 (b) of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
       (“Bursa Securities”), the Board of SBC Corporation Berhad (“herein known as the Company”) is pleased to
       include a statement on the state of the Company’s internal controls as guided by the Bursa Securities’
       Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies (“the Guidance”). The
       statement below outlines the nature and scope of the internal controls of the Group during the financial year
       ended 31 March 2005.



       BOARD RESPONSIBILITY

       The Board recognizes the importance of maintaining a sound system of internal control and risk management
       practices to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Company’s assets. Therefore, the Board affirms its
       responsibility for Group’s approach to assessing risk and the systems of internal control and for reviewing the
       adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s internal control systems and management information systems,
       including systems for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines. The review
       covers financial, operational and compliance controls, and risk management procedures of the Group.
       However, such procedures are designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve
       business objectives and can only provide reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance against material
       errors, misstatement, losses or fraud.



       RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

       The Board maintains an ongoing commitment to strengthen the Group’s control environment and processes.
       Key risks relating to the Group’s operations and strategic and business plans are addressed at daily / weekly /
       monthly meetings attended by Senior Management and key staff. The responsibility of managing the risks of
       each department lies with the respective Heads of Department and it is during these meetings, significant risks
       identified and the corresponding internal controls implemented are communicated to Senior Management.

       Management with the existence of internal audit function has updated risk profile of the Group. The updated
       risk profile was presented to the Audit Committee on 27 May 2005. The above is the description of the
       processes adopted by Management to identify and manage the Group’s risks. Steps are being taken to embed
       internal control and risks management further into the operations of the business and to deal with areas of
       improvement which come to the attention of the Management and the Board.




32
KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS

Internal controls are embedded in the Group’s operations as follows:

•    Clear organisation structure with defined reporting lines.

•    Defined level of authorities and lines of responsibilities from operating units up to the Board to ensure
     accountabilities for risk management and control activities.

•    Monthly management meetings convened to discuss the Group’s operations and performance. This
     includes the monthly monitoring of results against budget, with significant variance explained and
     appropriate action taken.

•    Daily/weekly staff meetings convened to discuss the progress of projects to allow Management to focus
     on areas of concern.

•    Tender Committee approves the involvement of the Group in any property development and
     construction projects. A minimum number of three quotations are called for and tenders are awarded
     based on factors such as track record, quality and speed of delivery.

•    Tender Committee comprises members of Senior Management which ensures transparency in the award
     of projects.

•    A sound financial system that captures every single financial transaction. From this data captured, the
     Group produces consolidated monthly management accounts and quarterly performances, which allow
     the Management to focus on areas of concern.

•    Regular site visits by members of the Senior Management team.

•    Review of internal audit reports and follow-up on findings by Audit Committee.

The Board is of the view that the system of internal control in place for the year under review is sound and
sufficient to safeguard shareholders’ investment, customers’ interests and the Group’s assets.




                                                                                                                 33

ISSUES OF SHARES AND DEBENTURES

During the financial year,

(a)     there were no changes in the authorised and issued and paid-up share capital of the Company except
        that the ICCPS were converted into 6,833,000 ordinary shares of RM1 each of the Company on their
        maturity date on 4 May 2004. The new shares which arose from the conversion of the ICCPS rank pari
        passu in all respects with the existing shares of the Company; and

(b)     there were no issues of debentures by the Company.



EMPLOYEE SHARE OPTION SCHEME (“ESOS”)

Pursuant to the ESOS which was implemented on 14 July 2000, the movement in the options to subscribe for
new shares of RM1 each in the Company at an exercise price of RM1.40 per share is as follows:

                                                                            NUMBER OF ORDINARY SHARES OF
                                                                              RM1 EACH UNDER OPTION

At 1 April 2004                                                                           1,490,000
Exercised during the financial year                                                            -
Lapsed during the financial year due to staff resignation                                   (79,000)

At 31 March 2005                                                                          1,411,000

The salient features of the ESOS are as follows:

(i)     eligible employees are employees who have served in the employment of any company within the Group
        for at least one year of continuous service;

(ii)    the total number of new ordinary shares to be offered under the ESOS shall not exceed 10% of the total
        issued and paid-up ordinary share capital of the Company at any point of time during the existence of
        the ESOS which shall be in force for a period of 5 years from the date of offer;

(iii)   the possible allocation for any single eligible employee during the existence of the ESOS shall not be less
        than 1,000 or more than 450,000 shares subject to the maximum allowable allocation according to their
        respective categories;

(iv)    the subscription price was based on the weighted average market price of the shares as shown in the
        Daily Official List of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad for the 5 market days prior to the date of offer
        with an allowance for a discount of not more than 10% therefrom or at par value, whichever is higher;
        and

(v)     the shares to be allotted upon any exercise of an option will, upon allotment, rank pari passu in all
        respects with the existing issued and paid-up ordinary shares of the Company.

The ESOS was expired on 13 July 2005.




                                                                                                                       41
OPTIONS GRANTED OVER UNISSUED SHARES

     During the financial year, no options were granted by the Company to any person to take up any unissued
     shares in the Company, other than the existing options under the ESOS.



     BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS

     Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable
     steps to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of
     allowance for doubtful debts, and satisfied themselves that there are no known bad debts and that adequate
     allowance had been made for doubtful debts.

     At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances that would require the writing off
     of bad debts, or additional allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the
     Company.



     CURRENT ASSETS

     Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable
     steps to ascertain that any current assets other than debts, which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary
     course of business, including their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company,
     have been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

     At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which would render the values
     attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading.



     VA L U AT I O N M E T H O D S

     At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which render
     adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company
     misleading or inappropriate.



     CONTINGENT AND OTHER LIABILITIES

     The contingent liability of the Company is disclosed in Note 43 to the financial statements. At the date of this
     report, there does not exist:

     (a)   any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial
           year which secures the liabilities of any other person; or

     (b)   any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial
           year.

     No contingent or other liability of the Group and of the Company has become enforceable or is likely to
     become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion
     of the directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet their
     obligations when they fall due.

FINANCIAL REVIEW The Group has recorded an after tax profit of RM2.250 million, representing an increase of 8.6% increase over the previous year's results. This pattern towards better margins continues on account of our focus on cost management and migration towards more value added projects. O P E R AT I O N S R E V I E W As the industry continues to evolve to a higher level of sophistication and in order to stay ahead of the competition, we are continuously retooling our delivery processes and researching into product designs to meet with greater consumer awareness. The Group's strategy of maintaining a geographical mix of projects also assists to achieve a better risk adjusted return and broaden revenue base. New projects and fresh launches in Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Selangor continue to affirm this strategy. 16
  • 19. BANDAR LIGAMAS K O TA D A M A N S A R A , P E TA L I N G J AYA In Klang, a turnkey building partnership is near completion with its delivery of 700 units of affordable homes in partnership with landowner, TA Enterprise Bhd. In Selangor, during the fourth quarter of year 2004, we handed over 293 units of luxury homes at Kota Damansara, Selangor for landowner Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS). The Group's delivery track record and its construction know-how, such as for the aforementioned projects, continue to demonstrably prove pivotal in securing turnkey building partnerships particularly with institutional landowners. On our own landbank, the Kuantan project, currently still the largest private mixed township in East Coast Malaysia, "Seri Mahkota Aman" continues to do well, having just handed over a total of 200 units of terrace houses this year alone; with its location being fortuitously located at the main toll exit of the new East West Highway, it is expected to continue its reliable performance. At the premium end, "The Peak" project in Kota Kinabalu, having completed the now fully occupied condominium tower, we have embarked our second phase of gated garden homes, "Signal Hill Park" @ The Peak. 17

Our equity joint venture with PKNS, located at the foothills of Genting Highlands, colloquially known as “Bandar Ligamas” continues to bring affordable landed living in serene surroundings to KL suburbanites. To-date more than 5,000 mixed commercial and residential units have been completed and delivered. Paling Industries Sdn Bhd, the Group's manufacturing associate in the water and waste water transmission industry continues to lead the domestic plumbing market volume with its brand franchise and has also been increasing its penetration into the key regional export markets. ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK With the country's foreign exchange policy now firmly reworked back within the international framework, thus checking inflation and enabling the continuance of accommodative monetary policies, we expect further expansion in investment demand and an outlook for the property sector that should reflect the country's strong fundamentals. The Group is optimistic of its ability to continue offering sophisticated building solutions to its clients, partners and customers in line with their increasing wish for better lifestyles both for living and working. 18

S TAT E M E N T O N I N T E R N A L C O N T R O L INTRODUCTION In accordance with paragraph 15.27 (b) of the Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”), the Board of SBC Corporation Berhad (“herein known as the Company”) is pleased to include a statement on the state of the Company’s internal controls as guided by the Bursa Securities’ Statement on Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies (“the Guidance”). The statement below outlines the nature and scope of the internal controls of the Group during the financial year ended 31 March 2005. BOARD RESPONSIBILITY The Board recognizes the importance of maintaining a sound system of internal control and risk management practices to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Company’s assets. Therefore, the Board affirms its responsibility for Group’s approach to assessing risk and the systems of internal control and for reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s internal control systems and management information systems, including systems for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines. The review covers financial, operational and compliance controls, and risk management procedures of the Group. However, such procedures are designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and can only provide reasonable assurance and not absolute assurance against material errors, misstatement, losses or fraud. RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK The Board maintains an ongoing commitment to strengthen the Group’s control environment and processes. Key risks relating to the Group’s operations and strategic and business plans are addressed at daily / weekly / monthly meetings attended by Senior Management and key staff. The responsibility of managing the risks of each department lies with the respective Heads of Department and it is during these meetings, significant risks identified and the corresponding internal controls implemented are communicated to Senior Management. Management with the existence of internal audit function has updated risk profile of the Group. The updated risk profile was presented to the Audit Committee on 27 May 2005. The above is the description of the processes adopted by Management to identify and manage the Group’s risks. Steps are being taken to embed internal control and risks management further into the operations of the business and to deal with areas of improvement which come to the attention of the Management and the Board. 32
  • 35. KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS Internal controls are embedded in the Group’s operations as follows: • Clear organisation structure with defined reporting lines. • Defined level of authorities and lines of responsibilities from operating units up to the Board to ensure accountabilities for risk management and control activities. • Monthly management meetings convened to discuss the Group’s operations and performance. This includes the monthly monitoring of results against budget, with significant variance explained and appropriate action taken. • Daily/weekly staff meetings convened to discuss the progress of projects to allow Management to focus on areas of concern. • Tender Committee approves the involvement of the Group in any property development and construction projects. A minimum number of three quotations are called for and tenders are awarded based on factors such as track record, quality and speed of delivery. • Tender Committee comprises members of Senior Management which ensures transparency in the award of projects. • A sound financial system that captures every single financial transaction. From this data captured, the Group produces consolidated monthly management accounts and quarterly performances, which allow the Management to focus on areas of concern. • Regular site visits by members of the Senior Management team. • Review of internal audit reports and follow-up on findings by Audit Committee. The Board is of the view that the system of internal control in place for the year under review is sound and sufficient to safeguard shareholders’ investment, customers’ interests and the Group’s assets. 33
