[ASIA FILE CORP BHD：外汇损失，英国造纸厂以及专门生产分隔板和书签的德国子公司的销售额较为疲软]

这季度的收入从去年6月季度的9090万令吉降至8,410万令吉。下降主要归因于：

（a）英镑和欧元兑本地货币走软;

（b）他们的英国造纸厂以及专门生产分隔板和书签的德国子公司的销售额较为疲软。

尽管成功提高了销售价格，但这集团在原材料成本上升方面继续面临逆风，导致这集团于​​本季度产品利润率下降。加上本季度外汇损失240万令吉的不利汇率与2017年6月的汇兑收益145万令吉相比（导致净负面影响为385万令吉），营业利润拖累至810万令吉（去年同期是1520万令吉）。

本季度，由于某些金融投资上市，导至投资表现明显下降。考虑到联营公司利润的份额，本季度的税前利润总额为1,050万令吉（2017年6月：RM1,800万令吉）。

本季度原材料成本上升以及外汇损失240万令吉（Mar'18季度：外汇收益为125万令吉），导致税前利润减少到1,050万令吉，而上一季度录得1440万令吉。此外，本季度联营公司的业绩份额已从上一季度达到的320万令吉降至240万令吉。

前景：
尽管面临挑战，这集团仍有信心未来的财务表现将保持乐观。

[ASIA FILE CORP BHD: foreign exchange loss, softer sales registered by their UK paper mill as well as the Germany subsidiary which specializes in manufacturing of dividers and indexes]

Revenue for the quarter dropped to RM 84.1 million from RM90.9 million recorded in June quarter last year .The drop was mainly attributable to:-

(a) weaker GBP and EURO against local currency;

(b) softer sales registered by their UK paper mill as well as the Germany subsidiary which specializes in manufacturing of dividers and indexes.

Despite successfully increased its selling prices, the Group continues to face headwind in terms of escalating raw material costs which has dented the product margin achieved by the Group during the quarter. Coupled with the unfavorable exchange rates where a foreign exchange loss of RM 2.4 million was incurred during the quarter as compared to exchange gain of RM 1.45 million recorded in June 2017 (which resulted in net negative impact of RM 3.85 million), the operating profit was dragged down to RM 8.1 million as compared to RM 15.2 million achieved in the corresponding quarter last year.

During the quarter, investing result dropped significantly due to mark to market of certain financial investments. After taking into consideration share of profits of associate, total pretax profit achieved for the quarter amounted to RM 10.5 million (June 2017: RM18 million).

The rising cost of raw material and the foreign exchange loss of RM 2.4 million suffered during the current quarter (Mar’18 Quarter: Foreign exchange gain of RM 1.25 million) resulted in a lower pretax profit of RM10.5 million as compared to RM 14.4 million recorded in the preceding quarter. In addition, share of result of associate for the quarter has dropped to RM 2.4 million from RM 3.2 million achieved in the preceding quarter.

Prospects:
Despite the challenges faced, the Group is confident that its future financial performance will remain positive.
