JTiasa's Explanatory Notes really explain clearly...

Reading the notes to the accounts has always be a challenging task. To find out why the performance has changed on a y-o-y basis or q-o-q basis would require many reading & toggling between the different documents. Today, I have come across a notes to the accounts that should be a model for others to follow. Below is the Explanatory Notes to JTiasa's accounts for QE31/1/2010 which give the reasons for the changes in its financial performance, in clear & concise manner. Let's hope other companies will follow suit & make life easier for analysts & investors who relay on these reports for their decision-making.

Beside clear note, wat is ur opinion on Jtiasa? Is it changing into KLK no2 as their palm oil planted n mature area become more n more?

Hi Alex,

Is IJM a good stock to choose at this moment ?

Hi mantin,

I don't think that JTiasa's oil palm estates can rival the giant plantation players, like IOI or KLK. JTiasa's plantation division generated a turnover of RM60 million for 9-month ended 31/1/2010, while IOI & KLK's turnover for QE31/12/2009 were RM3.06 billion & RM1.75 billion, respectively.

Hi Cheer,

IJM has been consolidating in a flag formation. An upside breakout at RM2.80 could signal the continuation of the prior uptrend.
