The Group recorded a turnover of RM17.8 million and profit before tax of RM3.7 million for the current quarter ended 31 August 2012.
In the opinion of the directors, the result for the current quarter and financial period to date have not been affected by any transactions or events of a material nature which has arisen between 31 May 2012 and the date of this report.
The global recovery pace remains subdued amidst the slow economic recovery in the United States, turbulence in the Euro Zone sovereign debt markets and the slowdown in some of the major economies like China, India and Japan. However, high resilient crude oil price of above US$90 per barrel has continued to spur oil majors to increase their offshore deep sea exploration and production activities. The demand for offshore support vessels is expected to increase in tandem with the increase in offshore deep sea exploration and production activities.
Our healthy order book is expected to contribute positively to our revenue and profits for financial year 2013 and 2014. We are optimistic in our outlook that new orders for offshore support vessels are going to resurface.
The demand for tugboats from Indonesia is sustainable judging from the orders we received from those related to coal and iron ore industries.
2013 remains to be challenging as the global recovery is still uncertain. However, we are of the opinion that 2013 will be a better year and the Board will continue to cautiously work towards securing better and more projects and profits for the shareholders.

Technical shows, this share is overbrought. Managed to buy at 0.455 last week and sold at 0.515 last week itself when technical rebound occured. Waiting for this stock to reach oversold with price range of 0.44~0.46 to buy again :)
On a chart, this looks something like an M. The particular price level where the double top occurs is considered a resistance level for the stock. I'm not fully technical trade on stock's.Most stock's indent to invest most on fundamental base.While it is true that market factors will affect stock prices, value investors tend to look further down the road and, therefore, believe temporary fluctuations will not affect long-term profitability. For me I will buy more during weakness as on Tas.
