An impairment loss of RM62.3 million on goodwill was recognised in the statement of profit or loss due to weak financial performance and the downsizing of the wood production activities of its subsidiary, Rimbunan Hijau Plywood Sdn Bhd, during the year. Further impairment loss of RM3.7 million on the carrying value of its plant and machinery used in the wood production activities was recognised.
Does this mean further loss are going to be lesser in future from wood production?
alamak liao ! anyway the other expenses 66mil is the impairment, non cash item writing off as expenses, not impacting the cash flow but reduces the P/L EPS, if not this 66 mil, it is making money this quarter ...
The Board of Directors of JTH wishes to announce that it has recommended a single tier first and final dividend of 0.5 sen per ordinary share for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 subject to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the Company.
The Entitlement Date and Date of Payment in respect of the aforesaid dividend will be determined and announced in due course.
4Q LOSS DUE TO GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT OF 66M. OTHERWISE ITS 4Q WOULD HAVE BEEN PROFITABLE. OVERALL ITS FULL FYE2017 REMAIN PROFITABLE ALSO THE IMPAIRMENT LOSS IS ITS JUST AN ACCOUNTING DEBIT ADJUSTMENT ENTRY WITH NO ACTUAL CASH OR REVENUE LOSS.
FUNDAMENTALS AND FINANCIALS REMAIN INTACT Still paying a dividend.
JTIASA’S OIL PALM PLANTATIONS ARE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY. INDICATION FROM BOUSTEAD PLANTATIONS’ RM750M CASH OFFER FOR DUTA LAND’S COMPARITIVELY MUCH SMALLER ESTATES. JTIASA’S PLANTATIONS ARE MUCH MUCH BIGGER IN ACREAGE.
If without the impairment loss portion, the result should be excellent. Moreover company is paying dividend during this crucial time, this mean management has confidence that coming quarters will be good. Just my personal view. Let's see how much it could drop today, good for long term investors to buy in.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures extended gains into a sixth session on Thursday and hovered near a five-month high hit in the evening on expectations that production growth will be slower than previously forecast.
The benchmark palm oil contract for November delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 1.4 percent at 2,777 ringgit ($649.14) by the close, registering its strongest daily gain in more than two weeks.
Palm rose to an intraday high of 2,782 ringgit on Thursday, its highest since March 23.
Traded volumes stood at 50,096 lots of 25 tonnes each on Thursday evening.
"We are seeing small increases in production, which many did not anticipate. That is one reason why the market is holding up," one Kuala Lumpur trader said, referring to output so far this month. "Whether end-stocks (in August) will rise significantly again is another question."
Palm oil stockpiles at the end of July rose by a forecast-beating 16.8 percent to 1.78 million tonnes, the highest in more than a year, according to industry regulator data.
Production in July rose 20.7 percent from a month earlier to 1.83 million tonnes, also surpassing expectations.
However, gains in August inventory and production may not match those of July, according to traders who had earlier expected to see double-digit growth.
Another trader added that the market was also up on technical buying and short-covering but could face strong resistance at price levels of 2,800 ringgit.
Palm oil may retest resistance at 2,768 ringgit a tonne as it could have resumed its uptrend, said Wang Tao, a Reuters market analyst for commodities and energy technicals.
In related vegetable oils, the October soybean oil contract on the Chicago Board of Trade was up 0.4 percent, while the January soybean oil contract on the Dalian Commodity Exchange rose 0.2 percent. The January palm olein contract on the Dalian exchange climbed as much as 0.6 percent.
Palm oil prices are affected by movements in other edible oils that compete for a share in the global vegetable oils market. - Reuetrs
ta- ann is not affected much, selling price increase. so hike or not is not a big issue. just that early on u cant sell as much. it takes time to stabilize.
UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER IMPAIRMENTS UNKNOWN TO US. THEN ITS DIFFICULT TO INVEST IN THIS COUNTER. MANY OTHER LISTED OIL PALM COMPANIES ARE DOING SO WELL. BUT JTIASA IS REALLY SO DISAPPOINTING. NOW WE UNDERSTAND WHY KYY HAD A BITTER EXPERIENCE WITH IT AND CUT LOSS LAST TIME
ON FURTHER THOUGHTS, I AM NOW MORE DOUBTFUL OF ITS PROSPECTS AND WILL BE MORE CAUTIOUS BEING AFRAID OF FUTURE UNEXPECTED NEGATIVE SURPRISES LIKE THIS SHOCKING IMPAIRMENT AND HUGE 4Q LOSS.
