I believe segmental profit does not include administrative charges, usually imposed by holding company to its subsidiaries, which typically eat up a significant part of the segmental profit. It is usually imposed in exchange for services such as accounting and it is needed to feed the people at HQ.
for question 2: In previous Q report, it seems included. But in latest Q report, it does not seem included. That's why the segment profit lower than PBT. When it is not included, it did not appear too in item B8.
I may be terrible wrong, so i said pending verification

Bother Yistock,
may be I rephrase my question to make it simple for you to reply with a "YES" OR "NO".
1. is forex gain taxable ? (yes or no)
2. is forex gain included in segment profit ? (yes or no )
Segment profit, does not include taxation, interest etc. It is not actual profit.
PBT is net net everything before tax.
You were saying Q2 & Q3 is different. I think you already captured the caution.

brother Yistock,
I don't know how to to write and what to write. I am begging you to explain to us why you think PBT can not be higher than segment profit . i believe many readers here will be very thankful to you if you are willing to share your knowledge 23/11/2016 13:16
“If the reason people invest is to make money, then in seeking advice they are asking others to tell them how to make money. That idea has some element of naïveté.” ― Benjamin Graham
In Johotin's presentation for Q3, the segment results by business segment refers to profit after taxation. But their segment analysis by geographical segment is based on profit before taxation.
The Q3 numbers looks impressive, especially when compared to last year where they have very poor Q3. Actual growth may not be that big, considering they have achieved profit before taxation of RM9.7 million in Q3, 2012 and RM8.2 million in Q3, 2013.
On forex gains or losses - my 2 sens worth of opinion
There are a few scenario where forex gains or losses are subject to tax or deductible for tax purposes. If the forex gain/loss is realised and is for business purposes, it is subject to tax/deductible for tax purposes.
Unrealised gain/loss incurred for business purposes is not taxed/deductible when it is recognised. It will only be taxed/deductible when it is realised. However, accounting standard require a tax charge/income in the form of deferred taxation to be imputed.
If forex gain/loss is not for business purposes (for example non-trade advances to subsidiary), it is not taxable or deductible for tax purposes.
Either way, in computing segment profit, forex gain/loss should have been considered.
The company has excellent qtr but they have an erratic history. Have to wait and see if they can have 2 or 3 qtrs like this. Also remember that warrants expire next nov and strike is at 85. Ithere will no doubt be some selling in the warrants and further premium compression. The mother at this price has come a long way. Nothing stopping it going up further of course.
sochai papaerplane, see the price now, as expected, will continue to go down until the volume dry up, I guess warrant will go down to below 0.35, which is below your cost 0.37, got 0.5 for you to sell and take profit you don't want, now sure panic looking at the price drop....is 0.43 now lor sochai, your sense in this counter is total screw up big time
I buy 0.23 you laugh at me said danger play, then you buy 0.37, I sell 0.49 you said can go up ask people to hold and top up, your sense is totally screw up lor, wakakakaka
MSC? sudah gap up a lot. let those weak hand sell. I wont bother. next yr sure Commodity play+Palm oil play liao. Crude oil still watching can up or not
The first Article (1) from Icon has a lot of information.. the expected revenue increase (USD 4 - 5 Million per month) with the new Factory.
I am thinking if 80% is export, and the main raw material of condensed milk is sugar and palm oil.....they may have an advantage. Lets investigate further...
Despite its feed material (about 40%) on F&B section / Dairy products is mainly Sugar...and its price had risen so much - over 30% ...this section seems still profitable...why?
may be cause of of this: Government has ceiling price on sugar?
Sugar trader Moresugar Sdn Bhd says it sells refined sugar to four of these 13 manufacturers at less than RM2 per kg. The company claims that it has an AP to exclusively supply sugar to these 13 companies only. Moresugar says that these 13 companies were given their own APs to import sugar when the Government decided to do away with this kind of subsidy back in 2011.
Some of these companies include Able Dairies, Etika Dairies, Barkath Food, Permanis, F&B Nutrition and Malaysia Milk, among others.
MSM president and group chief executive officer Datuk Sheikh Awab Sheikh Abod, in declining to disclose the price at which it sells to the 13 large consumers, says that industries buy sugar in bulk quantities.
“They practise hedging with sugar refiners to procure their sugar requirement,” he says in replies to StarBizWeek.
just consulted some expert..and he told me that the product is sold based on a certain margin on top of the average price of the inventory..
Its like you have big bottle to store the procured raw material milk and you keep buying at the market price to top up the bottle when the level comes down. The bottle is continuously drained from the bottom and sold based on the average price of the whole milk in the bottle at the time of draining with a margin....interesting.
So its rather the movement - the 'direction' of currency change during the quarter which matters... more than exchange rates 'value' USD->RM itself.
and he also told me the new lines are just being placed in operation in stages...not in full operation yet.
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....
