My notes based on 2011 quarter 1 report (number in '000):-
- The increase in revenue and profit before tax was mainly due to increase in oil and gas activities

- Lower pbt due to one-off recognition of gain on disposal of a subsidiary in previous reporting quarter

- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2011 Q1 result announced = 0.3, estimate PE on current price 2.33 = 7.68(DPS 0.025)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2010 Q3 result announced = 0.075*4 = 0.3, estimate highest/lowest PE = 8.22/7.08 (DPS 0.025)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2010 Q2 result announced = 0.2682*1.1 = 0.295(0.2682 is recent 4Q cum_eps and estimate 10% increase), estimate highest/lowest PE = 8.68/6.34 (DPS 0.06)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2010 Q1 result announced = 0.2747(still within expectation), estimate highest/lowest PE = 6.92/5.28 (DPS 0.06)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2009 Q4 result announced = 0.2747(10% grow from 0.2497), estimate highest/lowest PE = 6.01/5.39 (DPS 0.06)
