REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP FOR: (i) Third quarter ended 30 June 2014 The Group recorded higher revenue for the current quarter of RM212.3 million as compared to the preceding year corresponding quarter of RM185.4 million. The increase in the Group’s revenue by 15% was mainly contributed by the property and construction division from its on-going development projects and the plantation division, arising from the increase in sales of crude palm oil (“CPO”) and palm kernel. The Group recorded lower profit before tax for the current quarter of RM21.1 million as compared to the preceding year correspondence quarter of RM44.3 million due to inclusion of unrealised foreign exchange losses of RM21.9 million (“Foreign Exchange losses”) in the current quarter as compared to unrealised foreign exchange gains of RM1.5 million (“Foreign Exchange gains”) in preceding year corresponding quarter from the Plantation division’s United States Dollar (“USD”) and Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”) borrowings as a result of the Indonesian Rupiah has weaken against the USD and the RM respectively. The profit before tax excluding the unrealised Foreign Exchange losses and unrealised Foreign Exchange gains was marginally higher at RM43.0 million for the current quarter as compared to the preceding year corresponding quarter of RM42.8 million.
Current year-to-date (YTD) ended 30 June 2014 by Segments Property and construction This division recorded higher revenue of RM386.6 million for the current YTD as compared to preceding YTD of RM309.3 million.

Despite the higher revenue for the current YTD, this division’s profit before tax was decreased to RM76.6 million for current YTD as compared to preceding YTD of RM80.1 million mainly due to lower share of profit of an associate upon completion and handing over vacant possession of Areca Residence in the preceding year.

Yealah nvm this quarter. Yes bing .. still a good company with strong orders in the property. Plantation despite FX losses still made profit. EPS this year may be close to 30sen .. next year could reach 40 to 50 sen.
i have predicted mkh will suffer from forex loss of 35mil and eps for q3 2014 about 3 to 5 sen, but luckily only 21.9mil, but eps lower than 3sen. anyway, i think people in the market already realised the forex loss and sold it in advance since a few weeks ago. that's why mkh share price drop from 4.22 to current 3.72, drop 12%. me too, already sold out a few lots recently to cash out some fund in order to buy back after announce of q3 result. so even with the disappointed q3 result, the selling pressure won't be so heavy tomorrow bcos mkh share price already drop 50sen in advance.
currently idr-rm already up to 3,703 from 3,747, up 1.1% and idr-usd already up to 11676 from 12,039, up 3%. if idr-rm and idr-usd can up to 5% as at 30 sep. there will be excellent q4 result due to forex gain of at least 20mil and will boost eps to 12 to 15sen.
Sold off @ 3.75 yesterday morning, thanks to my own risk averse stop loss strategy and also warnings on forex losses around. Sad to realize a bit of losses but I did make some money when sold @ 4.33 before buy back later on. Perhaps I will buy back after the downtrend ends, but yeah typically I don't hold stocks when they're going downhill..
autumnleaf @ wah, you sold at rm 4.3 . i so sad sold at 3.73 yesterday.. got earn but higher profit if at rm 4.30... we both are quite lucky .. today see until faint ..
@zeneyam not smart enough unfortunately, because too loyal, bought back at 4.15, and sold at 3.75 yesterday... wiped off one third of my profit previously. But it's ok, still net gain and lesson learnt, need to do proper trend/technical analysis next time. And no matter how good I believe the stock is, stop loss is important for ppl like me who needs liquidity, don't plan to hold on during down times... too painful...
definitely this is over reacted. in fact the result is broke even compare q3 2013 if excluding forex loss of 21,900mil. q1 2014 forex loss 19.9mil, q2 gain 29.4mil and q3 loss 21.9mil. total loss 12.4mil. estimate q4 will forex gain 20mil if idr maintain current rate until end sept. so forex still gain 20mil - 12.4mil = 7.6mil compare to loss 63mil in 2013.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
