My notes based on 2011 quarter 3 report (number in '000):-
- Lower revenue than FY10Q3 mainly due to lower volume of dairy products sold in Malaysia

- Group operating profit declined 6% mainly due to lower volume and margin erosion from dairy products in Malaysia

- Operating profit for soft drinks division improved 15% on favourable product mix, operating cost saving and lower event related promotional expenses. Dairies Thailand’s operating margin remained stable for the quarter

- Group PBT for the quarter of RM86 million was 47% lower than the preceding quarter which had included the profit from the sale of the college building & factory site and gains on the divestment of Brampton amounting to RM60 million. Excluding property and others, PBT from the F&B business units for the current quarter of RM83.7million was 18% lower than preceding quarter due to lower demand for soft drinks and lower profit from dairies Malaysia
