TGuan's results for QE30/9/2007 was fairly good. Its net profit increased by 114% q-o-q to RM5.3 million on the back of a 8.6%-increase in its turnover to RM137.5 million. The net profit is, however, lower than that reported in the same quarter last year due to higher raw material cost, higher operating expenses (such as freight cost & electricity charges), higher interest expenses and continuing losses incurred by a newly-established subsidiary in China.
