My notes based on 2011 quarter 1 report (number in '000):-
- Group revenue of RM580 million for the first quarter ended 31 March 2011 was 15% higher than the RM504 million for last year. The increase was due mainly to higher flour revenue and increased grains trading volume recorded by the grains trading, flour and feed milling divisions. The environmental engineering, chemicals trading and manufacturing division as well as the livestock farming division also contributed higher revenue for the quarter under review

- Group profit before tax declined by 6% to RM283 million compared with the corresponding period in 2010. The grains trading, flour and feed milling division contributed higher profits due to higher sales. Livestock farming registered a profit compared with a loss previously. However, profit contribution for the quarter from our associate Wilmar International Limited ("Wilmar") decreased by RM32 million due mainly to changes in fair value of embedded derivatives in convertible bonds

- Group profit before tax improved by 60% to RM283 million for the quarter under review compared with RM177 million in the preceding quarter. Although the grains trading, flour and feed milling division registered lower profits due to higher raw material costs, this was offset by a higher profit contribution from Wilmar
