My notes based on 2011 quarter 3 report (number in '000):-
- The lower margin for the current financial year to date in timber is mainly due to higher production costs especially log costs

- The fluctuation noted in the turnover of the quarters under review is mainly due to delays in the arrival of purchasers’ vessels for loading

- Construction activity on the Group’s development project has increased as work has begun on more parcels of the project

- Demand for plywood is expected to remain at current levels for the medium term

- Construction activities are proceeding expeditiously on the boulevard shops and shop offices where completion is expected in stages between mid-2011 to 3rd quarter 2012

- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2011 Q3 result announced = 0.0261*4*1.05 = 0.1096, estimate PE on current price 1.41 = 12.64(DPS 0.025)
