Agreed. Somehow the current management give us no confident. As our Sapura say NTA RM1.46. mayb a trap, or mayb also an opporunity, you maysay even now the price is drop below NTA, say touchwood they declare bankcruptcy we still can take back RM1.46 (if u buy in time is below RM1.45) but who knows after the ICULS, the NTA rate change then that time really the trap. Statement everyone also can easily say, but behind isnt the real story only the management know. Unless someone know the mangement and know what their planning behind, if not base on the paper statement, statistic is really hard to justify. Hope can listen more other bro and sister share their analysis.
base on the above statement, what is the reason to built /up grade jati,is it management forsee the domestic demand for flour will increase double? i dont think so because base on the past 3 year quarter report demand remain unchange or may be drop due to goverment already allow few manufacturer to supply flour not only FFM & MFlour.Or production of flour for export? If not the above 2 reason,i dont see how the money spend on this jeti wil improve our coming 2 year quarter report.Look like company keep on burning money.
From the cash flow statement we realise that capital expenditure keep on increase fr Acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets Mar2018(64,851,000) Mar 2017(18,746,000) Increase in investment in a joint venture (8,119,000),total up 73mil & cause cash in hand drop RM355mil (Mar2017) to 238mil (Mar2018),when can all of us get the return from the above huge capital expenditure? 1year,2 year or 5 year? If new plant still not bring contribution by next year ,how to convience investor coming quarter revenue & profit will increase. I can't even continue my analysis.
As a conclusion, due to revenue & profit can not improve & cap expenditure keep on increase, i rather put the TP RM1.05(before right issue) by end of 2018 even though the company NTA RM1.46.
Loan & borrowing increase 39mil,but revenue keep on droping during hari raya festival,something wrong,i dont see this counter can recover within 1 years time.
Stock: [MFLOUR]: MALAYAN FLOUR MILLS BHD Feb 10, 2018 11:00 AM | Report Abuse This company a lot of debt and limited upside due to rising interest rate.
Malayan Flour Mills Bhd saw its Q2 net profit fall sharply to RM4.77mil from RM16.15mil in the corresponding quarter last year on the back of 4.9% lower revenue of RM547.7mil.
In a filing with the stock exchange, the group said the drop in earnings was due to lower profits from flour and grains trading and poutry integration segments as well as a loss of equity from its Indonesian joint venture.
The JV incurred a loss of RM3.6mil in the quarter under review as compared to a share of profit of RM1.9mil in the 2017 quarter.
The flour and grains trading segment saw a slight increase in operating profit from RM11.1mil to RM11.7mil on revenue of RM381.3mil versus RM374.9mil in Q2 2017.
However, the poultry integration segment saw a significant decrease in operating profit of RM2.5mil from RM11.1mil in Q2 2017 as revenue slid to RM166.5mil versus RM201mil in the previous corresponding quarter.
The group said this was mainly due to lower volume and margins arising from sales of live birds and net fair value loss on biological assets of RM1.6mil in Q2 2018 as compared to a net fair value gain on biological assets of RM7mil in Q2 2017.
"Excluding the impact from the fluctuation of fair value of biological assets, the operating profit remained consistent," it said.
The board of directors has declared an interim dividend of two sen per share.
Question : what is net fair value loss on biological assets of RM1.6mil in Q2 2018 as compared to a net fair value gain on biological assets of RM7mil in Q2 2017.
What asset is it?why the value drop so much? how the accountant evaluate this asset?

KUALA LUMPUR: Between January and June this year, grain and poultry player Malayan Flour Mills Bhd (MFM) faced a “perfect storm” — in the words of chief financial officer (CFO) Cheang Kiat Cheong — that was the culmination of a rare combination of adverse factors that affected the company simultaneously.
There was a poultry virus infection in its farms, while the company was dealing with having purchased poor-quality corn for its poultry feed. At the same time, the company was still grappling with the consequences of a labour shortage that ended just six months earlier in mid-2017.
While MFM’s management reacted swiftly in each situation by putting in place various damage controls, Cheang said the impact of having weathered such adversity will be seen in its financial performance for the first half of the financial year ending Dec 31, 2018 (1HFY18).
“[But] we will definitely not lose money in FY18, and FY19 will be a much better year,” he told The Edge Financial Daily in an interview recently.
MFM’s fiscal results for the first quarter of FY18 (1QFY18) already reflected a tough start for this financial year: The group posted a net profit of RM1.6 million, down a hefty 94% from RM24.91 million a year ago, while revenue retreated 7% to RM563.82 million from RM604.18 million.
Cheang said towards the end of last year, MFM unknowingly bought a batch of breeders that carried the poultry virus IBH, which stands for inclusion body hepatitis, causing their offspring to be similarly infected. This doubled the group’s broiler mortality rate to 7% from the usual 3%.
“And we were struggling with a labour shortage, which started in the second half of 2016 and lasted almost a year. When we finally got a batch of new workers in the middle of last year, they were not experienced enough to spot the anomalies in the chickens,” he said.
Additionally, Cheang said the group incurred higher cost due to the procurement of poorer-quality corn that was meant to produce feed for chickens.
To remedy the situation, Cheang said MFM set up a training centre to ensure that new workers are well versed in the management of a poultry farm, and put in place quality-control mechanisms in the procurement of raw materials like corn to ensure that broilers’ feed is of high quality.
In addition, MFM has bought a new batch of breeders, which will be delivered by end-3QFY18.
By 1QFY19, he said, MFM will have completed the upgrading of its Perak poultry processing plant, which will increase the group’s broiler processing capacity to 120,000 chickens per day, from the current 90,000 chickens per day.
Although the upgraded plant is capable of slaughtering up to 240,000 chickens per day — or 87.6 million a year, which is more than sufficient to process all broilers MFM produce currently — Cheang said MFM will ramp up the production progressively to ensure that there are no safety issues.
“The group currently produces 66 million broiler chickens per year. But not all 66 million broiler chickens go to our processing plant — a big part of them go to the live bird market,” he said.
Cheang also said with the second phase of upgrading of its poultry processing plant completing in early 2020, MFM will be capable of producing ready-to-cook products, which is expected to fetch a bigger profit margin for the group.
“Our average gross profit margin for poultry is about 16% to 17%, compared with our flour business’ single-digit margin. Our flour segment is a rather steady business, [so] we do not expect to see any big growth,” he said.
In Malaysia, Cheang said, MFM is producing slightly over 1,000 tonnes of flour per day, while the maximum capacity is about 2,000 tonnes per day.
Contrary to the situation in Malaysia, Cheang said, MFM’s flour business overseas is growing well.
In Indonesia, he said, the group’s milling plant, which is capable of producing 2,500 tonnes of flour per day, is reaching its maximum capacity. In Vietnam, MFM’s milling plants in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City — with a combined capacity of 2,700 tonnes per day — have reached a 80% utilisation rate, said Cheang.
“In Vietnam, we are the market leader. In Indonesia, the market has been deregulated; it used to be just the Salim Group, but now they have 22 players. If we see another business environment like Vietnam, we do not mind expanding our flour operation. But if it is like Malaysia’s, then no,” he said.
Last Friday, MFM’s share price closed one sen or 0.8% lower at RM1.23, giving it a market capitalisation of RM682.35 million. Year to date, the counter has retreated 36% from RM1.91 on Dec 29 last year.
See this is the consequences of engaged inexperiance personnel to manage the poultry processing & flour and Grain :
refer to the statement from their CFO

how can this incident happen in this company who operated almost 49 year. ridiculous - In KALI LAH MALAYSIA BOLEH.
really suprise,when other chicken farm continue show profit growth,except MFM cotinue 3 quarter show record low profit.this 1 half even drop 83% sayonara!
the cfo not telling the truth. the drop of profit is due to current hot wheather. The chicken under stress and the meat cannot grow. All the chicken is skinny. Chicken weight drop, therefore profit down. Somemore the chicken commit suicide due to too stress-up. Antibiotic also cannot solve their problem .
they hired a lot of workers at their poultry processing plant to do all the manual works like bird hanging, slaugthering , deboning, packing , transportation .... with all the cost escalated, they in a wrong recipe to build a new plant for expansion. The more they sell, the more they loss.
Q1 EPS 0.29; Q2 EPS 0.87 do you think Q3+Q4 will perform better than Q1+Q2?? Sapura, dont dream this counter.I have dump all few months ago when 1.80++
The worst scenario is Q1 to Q4 total EPS less than 2 then you just count the PE yourself. Hahahhahaha!!!
