Strangely the insiders have been buying consistently earlier this year at the price of around RM2.10. What are they up to?

Yeah that is good. Check the debt/equity and then current liability such as loans

Very good points spotted by you, we need more people and article like this to point out the mis-leading facts reported by media or analyst.

Thanks for the critically written report. Look at Matrade stats http://www.matrade.gov.my/en/malaysia-exporters-section/33-trade-statistics/3812-summary-of-malaysias-monthly-trade-2015 the import/export not directly correlate with Ringgit...

just to highlight something, the sensitivity test in the financial risk section is just the currency risk for current balance sheet exposure if I not mistaken, it is true that USD denominated loan is bad for tongher, but we can't denied that exposure of revenue in USD is more than exposure of USD in loan for tongher assuming all 77% of revenue exported to oversea is denominated in USD. (I din read through the financial statement for tongher, so I might be wrong, but this is based on my experience reading other companies/ financial report, please correct me if I am wrong ya, thanks for sharing especially on the investment in associate, some companies have loan in USD to serve as natural hedge to their revenue that is majority denominated in USD.

nicholas1184, eventually what is in the income statement must convert to balance sheet items. For example revenue becomes trade receivables and cost of goods translates to payables etc... if the net exposure of Tong Her in USD is -ve means its USD short term liabilities is more than USD short term assets, then strengthening USD will not benefit it.

Tong Herr & Supermax are example of companies that export in US$ but also have big US$ loans.

Nicely done article. One more thing, if you look at the sensitivity analysis, you will see a huge loss also if THB depreciates against USD. To date, I think THB is down about 8.2% to USD, so it is a double hit for Tong Herr.

One thing I'm curious, the quantum of loss for 10% decline in THB is almost as much as for 10% decline in RM vs USD. This is strange given that THB denominated loan amount and external revenues from export to Thailand are both very small.
