The Group reported loss before tax of RM23.8million and revenue of RM232.0million for the current fourth quarter, compared to profit before tax of RM40.5million and revenue of RM281.7million respectively achieved in the previous year’s corresponding quarter. Credit and lending and investment holding are the main divisions that caused the drop in Group’s results in the current fourth quarter. The performance of the Group, analysed by its key operating segments is as follows:-
Investment holding Investment holding division reported loss before tax of RM66.7million in the current year’s fourth quarter, as compared to profit before tax of RM34.3million in the previous year’s corresponding quarter. Despite higher investment interest income, the current year’s fourth quarter results was dragged down by foreign exchange losses realized upon the dissolution of foreign subsidiaries and fair value loss on investment securities. For the current year-to-date, this division reported loss before tax of RM58.0million, as compared to loss before tax of RM2.6million in the preceding year. Despite higher investment interest income and fair value gain on derivatives, current year’s loss before tax was higher primarily attributable to higher fair value loss on investment securities, and acquisition related cost incurred. Credit and lending For the current year’s fourth quarter, credit and lending division contributed RM29.9million profit before tax to the Group, as compared to profit before tax of RM72.2million in the previous year’s corresponding quarter. Despite higher investment interest income, current year’s fourth quarter results was dragged down by higher fair value loss on derivative and investment securities, and lower loan recovery income. This division achieved a current year-to-date profit before tax of RM154.9million, as compared to RM107.3million in the preceding year. Despite higher fair value loss on derivatives and investment securities, the division’s performance was boosted by loan recovery, foreign exchange gain on translation of AUD and CAD denominated balances, and higher investment interest income.
matakuda, you malay or chinese? you use the word yaoshiu... 1 QR bad only mah... whole year still good TA price almost at bottom.. after today sell down sure got good news one... clear those ppl first
This TA very good in accounting. If you study further on its Q3 results, both tax and investment securities are significantly lower than Q4 results. Most probably they parked everything under Q4 and hence the loss.
You may ask why Q4 and not the earlier quarters which I too still wondering. Perhaps there is better advantage in term of accounting to park those costs under Q4.
For those who were wondering why Nta went up despite p&l loss, look at the comprehensive income statement. They recorded 66 million positive forex translation diff leading to overall comprehensive income of 32 million. Out of the 66 million about 30 million reflects reclassification for the dissolution of subs. Becos now realised, the 30 million loss reclassified from equity to p&l. Therefore minus 30 million in p&l but plus 30 million under comprehensive income = no actual change to equity. So yes there were forex appreciation but not recognized in p&l as not realised yet.
Sweetkeledek. Can explain it easier in layman term? Are you saying that there is forex gain but it is not recognized in q4. So would this gain be recognized sooner or later then?
The forex translation gains are being recorded in Q4 under Exchange Reserve. Between last Q and this Q the Reserve shows an increase reflecting an appreciation during the Q and recognised as Other Comprehensive Income.
If next Q, the forex goes the other way, the Exchange Reserve will come down with a corresponding Other Comprehensive Loss.
It is only when the asset/foreign operation is disposed/realised, then only the forex translation gain or loss will be recognised in the profit and loss
Don't forget, Tony was buying at above 90 sen for quite some time. For now he is quiet, so not much support for the price, maybe because of global uncertainty.
