Tienwah- an attractive stock

Results update

Tienwah announced its results for QE31/3/2012. Its net profit dropped 34% q-o-q but rose 26% y-o-y to RM4 million while its revenue was unchanged q-o-q but rose 7% y-o-y to RM97 million. If you were to exclude the exceptional items, such as forex gain, provision for impairment loss on property owned & provision for retirement benefit to its CEO, Tienwah's pre-tax profit is quite steady at RM10-11 million.
