Formosa Prosonic Industries Bhd ( Valuation: 2.00, Fundamental: 1.65), which is principally involved in the manufacturing and selling of high quality speaker systems, saw its net profit for the third financial quarter ended Sept 30, 2015 (3QFY15) surge by 127% to RM9.05 million, mainly on higher sales at its Malaysian operations.
The higher sales was a result of its acquisition of manufacturing assets and equipment in Sg Petani, Kedah, in March and a higher share of profit in an associate, according to its filing on Bursa Malaysia this evening.
The group also benefited from a favourable forex rate, from the stronger US dollar against the local note.
In comparison, the group recorded a RM3.98 million net profit in the corresponding quarter a year ago.
Revenue for 3QFY15 went up by 22.4% to RM91.7 million, from RM74.93 million a year ago, as a result of the higher sales from its Malaysian operations.
For the nine months ended Sept 30, 2015 (9MFY15) the group recorded a net profit of RM10.33 million, which was 28.6% higher than its 9MFY14 net profit of RM8.04 million.
Revenue for 9MFY15, however, fell by 1.1% to RM205.2 million, from RM207.45 million a year ago.
On outlook, the group expects a profitable set of results in FY15, but remains cautious on business prospects given the slower economic growth in emerging markets and intensifying competition.

Winstron a Taiwanese company is the second largest shareholder in FPI. Winstron has build a factory RM100mil + next to FPI and they have plan to move some of their manufacturing capacity out from China to Malaysia. Reason is cost is increasing in China as well as the political matters between the 2 countries. It make perfect sense that Winstron would want a contigent plan for a second manufacturing hub.
So how could this benefit FPI? Winstron produce high end electronic product so the lower end product will be sub to FPI next door. A search in Winstron performance should that a 1% revenue shift to FPI is cost USD100mil+.
Think yourselves what is the benefit on the partnership tie between Winstron and FPI.
