在cari和身边的朋友，许许多多的人都还不大了解到底中午和下午闭市前15分钟到底是怎么一回事？
其实很简单，让小弟一一道来。
注：配对=match
闭市前15分钟开始，新的机制就会停止交易。可是我们还是可以继续下指令，要买要卖都可以，自由发挥。只不过在5分钟内，你所打入的任何价格都不会被配对（match）。和平常交易时间不一样的就在这里。平常交易时间，你只要买seller的价格，就马上成交。你只要卖buyer的价格也马上成交。可是在这5分钟内，没有任何指令会被成交。这个时候，交易所变成了一个投票机。大家所打入的买卖就是在投票。投票什么呢？就是投票收市应该要收在什么价格。当这个价格被定下来后，接下来的10分钟内你只能买或卖这个价格。也就是如果buyer是这个价格，那你只能卖。要买的话要排队在buyer1。如果seller在这个价格的时候你只能买。要卖的话必须排seller。
那我们所投的一票又怎么决定收市价呢？在5分钟后，也就是12：20以及4：50的时候，结果就会出来了。这个结果是按照系统能够配对最多成交的价格。也就是说在一个最多人选择卖和买的价格成交。
这个机制在成交量低的股还是会被操纵。避免不了。不过在成交量高的股就要花比较大的成本去操纵。即使是用左右手交换的方法，也要有很多现金和票。
例子：我在5月尾CIMB忽然从8块飙到9块多那天，就在4：45分打入“买8.50-200unit”
到了4：50分成绩揭晓时，我的配对价格是8.05，那天也收在8.05。
为什么呢？
因为在8.05是最多人要卖，和最多人要买的价位。而且当天任何打入8.05以上买入的，也可以在8.05被配对。所以结果收在8.05。
注：当你在任何交易时间，如果你打入比第一个seller高的价格买入，你还是会以第一个seller的价格买入。除非第一个seller的量满足不了你的买单，那就会先做完第一seller的单然后继续配对第二seller的单。在卖的时候也一样，如果说你直接打第5个buyer的价钱卖，系统是会先配对第一个buyer的价格，然后量不够时，再做第二、第三等等，以此类推。

[CCRIS,CTOS] Knowing Your Personal Credit Report & How It Affects You (转摘)
每个人在不同的人生阶段都有不同的理财目标。为了升学，我们申请了教育贷款；为了工作，我们购买了第一辆车子代步；为了提升生活品质，我们使用信用卡；为了结婚，我们拥有了自己的屋子；为了创业，我们申请商业贷款。这些理财目标一般上需要大笔的资金，所以大部分人都会向银行借贷以实现这些目标。
在批准一项贷款或信用卡的申请之前，银行会先审查个人的职业、薪水、所拥有的财产与债务、信用记录等等。信用记录显示个人的借贷与还款情况。相比一个卡债累累与一个准时还债的人，后者获得贷款的机会当然比前者高。此外，后者也可能获得较好的交易条件，如较低的贷款利率等。
由此可见，信用评分的高低也是理财知识之一。大多数银行或贷款机构都是通过个人的信用评分去评估个人的财务状况、值不值得将钱借给借贷者等等。为了评估个人的信用评分，大部分银行都是向征信机构（credit bureau）获取信贷者的信用记录。
这些征信机构则是从借贷业者、信用卡公司、电信公司、保险公司等去获取信贷者的金融往来记录。所以，拖欠任何贷款如汽车贷款、房屋贷款等，都将被记录在案。征信机构将你的信用资料收集起来，再提供给银行、贷款机构等作为参考，以帮助他们评估是否贷款或提供任何交易条件给信贷者。
我国的国家银行就扮演着资讯提供者的角色，将所有信贷者的资料输入一个名为Central Credit Reference Information System-CCRIS（中央信用参考资讯系统）的资料库内。借贷者或金融机构可查看这些已整理成信用报告的资料，里面记录了我们一切金融来往的记录、是否准时缴纳账单、欠了什么债务等等。*包括你的streamyx，电话单等记录。
早前就有一家私人信用机构遭受一些民众、政治人物等炮轰，因为该CTOS私人有限公司没有及时更新信贷者的信用资料，导致许多人被列入“黑名单”，而无法获得银行的贷款。CTOS的主要业务是提供个人或公司的信贷资料给银行、金融机构、信贷公司、保险公司、商业公司、律师行等。
CTOS从政府公报、报刊广告栏的法律文告、大马注册局、大马报穷局等收集各种公开的资讯，以让其客户更快速、准确地查询信贷者的资料。这有助于降低银行的信贷风险，避免呆账水平的恶化。
CTOS所收集的资料来源都是公开性质的，任何人都可以自行获得，但是有人却觉得CTOS在没有通知信贷者之下，就将个人的信用资料“卖”给其它机构，等同于侵犯了个人的隐私权。
加上CTOS是以剪报方式收集资料，若大马报穷局没有将已经脱离穷籍的名单刊登在至少一家报章，或把消息公布在宪报上，CTOS就无法及时更新贷款者的资料。这造成有些人虽然已经在多年前还清债务，但因为其欠债历史还存在于CTOS档案库内，而造成他们一直无法申请到贷款。
贷款申请不被批准的原因很多，例如一位董事经理在离职时，没有通知有关当局以中止所有以他名义作担保的合约，而造成他日后须为公司的损失承担责任。同样情况发生在已经停止合作的生意伙伴。有些信用卡的附属卡卡主甚至要承担起主卡卡主所欠下的债务。
因此，若你曾向多家银行申请贷款都失败，而你确认自己已经有足够资格申请贷款，并没有拖欠任何贷款，就应该到CTOS或各银行查询清楚。详情可浏览CTOS网站http://www.ctos.com.my。
上期提及国家银行的CCRIS（中央信用参考资讯系统）记录了信贷者的信贷资料，这期深入地探讨CCRIS的主要功能和其操作方式。国家银行之下的信贷局 在1982年就已开始操作，其主要从各贷款、金融机构获取信贷者的信用记录，并将这些资料提供给其他金融公司、信贷机构、保险公司等等。
各金融或贷款机构提供给CCRIS的信贷资料包括信贷者的姓名、身份证号码、地址等，也记录信贷者的贷款数额、贷款方式、借贷品行、法律状况等。此外，信贷者的资料也包括个人在银行内的欠债数额，无论是以个人名义、联合户口、独自经营、商业伙伴等方式所欠下的债务。
所有资料将被整理成一份份的信用报告，并输入CCRIS中。当我们向银行申请贷款时，银行就会查询CCRIS的资料，以评估我们的财务状况。一般上，银行会先向CCRIS查询我们的信用记录，之后才检查CTOS的记录，以进一步了解我们是否遭遇破产、涉及民事诉讼，以及无法偿还债务等。
CTOS与CCRIS的差别在于其资料来源和服务性质。CTOS是从政府公报、大马报穷局、大马公司注册局、各报章所刊登的法律文告、全国社团注册局等获取资料。
CCRIS则是多从金融公司、商业银行、回教银行、证券银行等获取个人的信贷记录。此外，CCRIS的资料随时被更新，以确保所有资料都是最准确、最能反映信贷者的借贷活动与财务状况。
目前为止，CCRIS拥有约700万份信贷资料，其信贷资料涵盖个人、生意（独资或合伙）、公司等。CCRIS中的资料也只能提供给授权的机构，以进行信 用评估。获得该信用资料的机构不能将这些资料提供给第三者。举个例子，银行不能利用所获得的信贷资料，推销他们的金融产品或服务。
站在金融或贷款业者的角度，他们必须收集足够的个人信贷资料，以了解信贷者的财务背景，并减少贷款风险。对于个人或商家而言，我们则会担心个人的信贷资料被泄露给不相关机构，甚至被不法集团利用。所以，政府已规定银行在获得信贷者的同意后，才能向信贷公司如CTOS获取其个人资料。
早前高教部副部长何国忠扬言要与国家银行合作，把拖欠高等教育贷款者的资料与CCRIS连线。这包括了毕业后不曾摊还贷款或摊还记录不佳者，一旦他们的名字被列入CCRIS系统中，他们在未来可能拥有较少的贷款机会。
所以，大专毕业生在能力范围之内，都应准时摊还教育贷款，毕竟还有许多学生很需要教育贷款去完成他们的学业。加上最近政府已经调低教育贷款的行政费，学士生的行政费已从原本的3%减少至1%，相信这可为毕业生们减少一些经济负担。
若你想获取个人或公司的信用报告，你可从http://creditbureau.bnm.gov.my/网站下载信用报告索取表格。你也可以前往信用局或以邮寄方式索取表格。将表格填妥后邮寄、传真或亲自缴交表格给信用局。
你必须附上个人身份证影印本，及其他两份文件如驾照、水电费账单以作确认用途。信用局在收到你的表格后，就从CCRIS中获取信用报告，再通过马来西亚国家银行分行或金融机构传送给你。
CCRIS里的记录攸关我们能否实现我们的理财目标，包括申请信用卡、汽车贷款、房屋贷款等。因此，我们必须准时还债，以拥有良好的信用记录，下一次在申请贷款各方面才比较顺利，或获取更好的借贷优惠。

Shareholdings
http://www.tdmberhad.com.my/
- 该公司自2004年起致力于发展及开拓两大核心业务。为了把业务重心放在油棕种植及医疗保健，该公司已在过去5年内开始脱售其非核心业务，如A&W快餐，产业发展，纤维板制造，树胶加工等。近期内，TDM更以400万零吉脱售旗下最后一个非核心业务－家畜业。

- RHB research understand that THP is currently in advanced stages of negotiation to acquire two pieces of landbank, one in Indonesia and one in Sarawak, and intends to complete at least one acquisition by end-1H2011, with another potentially, by end-2011 or if not, early 2012. These acquisitions will not be an injection of land by Tabung Haji, but independent acquisitions by THP.
- “The landbank under consideration is a piece of brownfield land in Indonesia (East Kalimantan) and a piece of greenfield land in Sarawak. Assuming each is about 10,000ha (which is the minimum landbank size that THP would consider for any acquisition), there is a possibility that THP’s total landbank size could grow by 50% by year-end, although total planted landbank may only grow by 25%,” RHB research said.
http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business/180692-rhb-research-th-plantations-undervalued-stock.html (Jan.2011)
- THP has entered into two separate conditional sales and purchase agreements with: (i) Sawit Green Plantation Sdn Bhd to acquire a 70% stake in Hydroflow Sdn Bhd for RM73.5 million. Hydroflow owns eight parcels of land with provisional leases in the Sedilu-Gedong district of Sarawak, with total land area of 5,602ha. Some 693ha (12.4%) of the land is planted, with 85% of planted land more than four years old. This acquisition is to be completed by 1Q12; and (ii) Indonesian citizens H Rajasa Abdurachman and Badai Sakti Daniel to acquire a 93% stake in PT Persada Kencana Prima (PKP), for 46,211.96 million rupiah (RM16.18 million). PKP has obtained a plantation business permit (Izin Usaha Perkebunan) to operate 14,180ha of plantation land in Seseyap Hilir, Tana Tidung District, East Kalimantan. This acquisition is to be completed by 2Q12.
- THP will need to spend an additional RM495 million (RM102 million for Hydroflow and RM393 million for PKP) over five to six years to develop all the land, which will be funded by internal funds and borrowings.
- The acquisition price of the Hydroflow land works out to about RM18,740 per ha for its effective 70% stake, which we believe is relatively inexpensive for semi-planted land in Sarawak, given that planted land in Sarawak is usually about RM30,000 to RM50,000 per ha, while unplanted land is about RM10,000 RM15,000 per ha.
- PKP’s acquisition price of RM1,275 per ha is also on the low end of greenfield land transactions in Kalimantan, of between US$500 (RM1,565) and US$1,000 per ha. Upon completion of the acquisitions, THP’s total plantation landbank will rise by 50% to 59,153ha (from 39,371ha currently), thereby meeting its key performance indicator to reach a landbank of 50,000ha by 2012.
- We are positive on this development, as we believe the pricing is reasonable. We are pleased to note that as the land in Sarawak is not native customary rights (NCR) land, THP should not face the issues other planters who have tried to expand their landbank in Sarawak have. ***http://www.sarawakgone.cc/issues/ncr/***

THP Group recorded a sustainable progress in 2013 as we delivered on our commitments to reshape the Group amidst the challenging ambience of the plantation industry. We have exceeded the targeted FFB yield per ha by 16.39% to 23.86 mt/ha and recommended a dividend of 3.62 sen which is in line with THP Group’s sustainable dividend policy of distributing approximately 50% of PATAMI. However, the ROE achieved was 5.47% against a target of 6.50% due to corporate exercises undertaken that involved equity which resulted in a higher shareholders’ fund and softer earnings mainly attributed to lower commodity prices.
Medium Term Headline KPIs (FY2013- FY2015)
Driven to undertake new and strategic land bank expansions of an additional 30,000 ha to strengthen THP Group’s position as a medium size plantation company.
As at todate, we have acquired 6,514 ha of oil palm plantation in Sarawak translating into 22% of the targeted land bank expansions. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we are optimistic to achieve the target by FY2015.
THP will take into consideration among others the Group’s level of cash, gearing, return on equity, retained earnings, working capital requirements, projected levels of capital expenditure, investment plans and its financial position in recommending and determining the level of dividend payments if any, in any particular financial year or period.

- TH Plantations Bhd (THP), the plantation arm of the Pilgrimage Fund Board, saw a significant reduction in its net profit to RM10.31 million for the half-year ended June 30 from RM32.95 million previously.
- The reduced profit was attributed to lower crude palm oil (CPO) prices, higher non-cash amortisation costs as well as finance costs incurred for the recent expansion of its operations. However, the lower CPO prices were partially offset by a strong growth of 59% in fresh fruit bunch (FFB) and 41% in CPO production. This resulted in FFB yields for the first six months to strengthen by 12%.
- "Better operational efficiencies also saw improved first half-year unit production costs for the group, which further helped moderate the impact of lower prices. The group's CPO production cost declined by 13% to RM1,125 per tonne and estate production cost declined by 32% to RM193 per tonne.
- "Post acquisitions, we are optimistic that we will meet our full-year production estimates. The acquisitions made in 2012 and early this year have contributed healthily to the group, and we expect the trend to grow positively over the next few years as more areas come into maturity," he added.

- RHB research understand that THP is currently in advanced stages of negotiation to acquire two pieces of landbank, one in Indonesia and one in Sarawak, and intends to complete at least one acquisition by end-1H2011, with another potentially, by end-2011 or if not, early 2012. These acquisitions will not be an injection of land by Tabung Haji, but independent acquisitions by THP.
- “The landbank under consideration is a piece of brownfield land in Indonesia (East Kalimantan) and a piece of greenfield land in Sarawak. Assuming each is about 10,000ha (which is the minimum landbank size that THP would consider for any acquisition), there is a possibility that THP’s total landbank size could grow by 50% by year-end, although total planted landbank may only grow by 25%,” RHB research said.

- THP has entered into two separate conditional sales and purchase agreements with: (i) Sawit Green Plantation Sdn Bhd to acquire a 70% stake in Hydroflow Sdn Bhd for RM73.5 million. Hydroflow owns eight parcels of land with provisional leases in the Sedilu-Gedong district of Sarawak, with total land area of 5,602ha. Some 693ha (12.4%) of the land is planted, with 85% of planted land more than four years old. This acquisition is to be completed by 1Q12; and (ii) Indonesian citizens H Rajasa Abdurachman and Badai Sakti Daniel to acquire a 93% stake in PT Persada Kencana Prima (PKP), for 46,211.96 million rupiah (RM16.18 million). PKP has obtained a plantation business permit (Izin Usaha Perkebunan) to operate 14,180ha of plantation land in Seseyap Hilir, Tana Tidung District, East Kalimantan. This acquisition is to be completed by 2Q12.
- THP will need to spend an additional RM495 million (RM102 million for Hydroflow and RM393 million for PKP) over five to six years to develop all the land, which will be funded by internal funds and borrowings.
- The acquisition price of the Hydroflow land works out to about RM18,740 per ha for its effective 70% stake, which we believe is relatively inexpensive for semi-planted land in Sarawak, given that planted land in Sarawak is usually about RM30,000 to RM50,000 per ha, while unplanted land is about RM10,000 RM15,000 per ha.
- PKP’s acquisition price of RM1,275 per ha is also on the low end of greenfield land transactions in Kalimantan, of between US$500 (RM1,565) and US$1,000 per ha. Upon completion of the acquisitions, THP’s total plantation landbank will rise by 50% to 59,153ha (from 39,371ha currently), thereby meeting its key performance indicator to reach a landbank of 50,000ha by 2012.
- We are positive on this development, as we believe the pricing is reasonable. We are pleased to note that as the land in Sarawak is not native customary rights (NCR) land, THP should not face the issues other planters who have tried to expand their landbank in Sarawak have. ***http://www.sarawakgone.cc/issues/ncr/***

- TH种植（THPLANT，5112，主板种植股）和大股东朝圣基金局（Lembaga Tabung Haji）遭两名小园主起诉，索取6块种植地逾4亿6846万令吉的营收和所有权。起诉方要求法庭宣判，6片坐落在弄边的原棕油土地，所获营收4亿6846万1563令吉和利息，都是属于起诉方，答辩方必须退还给两人。
- TH种植指出，彭亨州政府在1972年转让6片土地给朝圣基金局，较后出租给TH种植负责发展与管理. 此外，起诉方也要求法庭颁布庭令，把部分土地（占地2080英亩）转到两人名下。
- TH种植2005年提交申请给彭亨州政府，要求豁免有关明示条款，而申请书也获得批准，其中条件为土地只能种植原棕油。TH种植表示，此案与集团2012年面对的诉讼案类似，案件已在今年被高庭和上诉庭驳回。TH种植已针对此案委任律师抗辩，并强调案件对财务和营运没有影响。

- TH Plantations Bhd’s net profit for 3QFY11 rose 53.83% to RM33.12 million from RM21.53 million a year ago, boosted by higher commodity prices. For the nine-month period, TH Plantations net profit surged 85.63% to RM87.11 million from RM46.93 million on growth of 27.92% in revenue to RM303.73 million from RM237.44 million previously.
- The company said the higher cumulative earnings were mainly due to higher commodity prices and higher gross profit margins.
- Quarter-on-quarter, TH Plantations net profit inched up 2.97% to RM33.12 million from RM32.16 million in the preceding quarter. Pre-tax profit fell 8.74% to RM49.51 million from RM54.26 million while revenue grew marginally by 2.88% to RM115.96 million from RM112.713 million previously.According to the company, the quarterly fall in 3Q pre-tax profit was due to higher fertiliser application.http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/in-the-financial-daily/194989-th-plantations-3q-net-profit-soars-54-on-higher-commodity-prices.html (Oct.2011)
- 該行預計該公司在今年末季的表現走弱及賺幅面對壓縮，主要因鮮果串產量在末季屬於季節性淡季及原棕油及棕仁平均售價按季走低，從今年首季的高峰每公噸達3千370令吉已崩跌近54%；以及大馬勞力薪資及肥料成本的走高造成成本的壓力，使2011年財測保持不變。馬銀行研究調降明年的原棕油平均售價，從每公噸3千令吉下調至2千600令吉。

- THP’s RM13m 1Q12 core net profit (-40% YoY, -65% QoQ) accounted for just 10% and 12% of our and consensus FY12 forecasts respectively. The shortfall is due to higher- than-expected cost and taxes.
- THP’s 1Q12 EBIT of MYR27m, making up 11% of our full year estimate, shrank by 22% YoY due to lower CPO ASP (-11% YoY) and higher than expected costs, although FFB production increased 7.6% YoY.
- FFB production declined 30% QoQ as 1Q production is seasonally weakest. 1Q FFB production was in line with our expectations as it met 19% of our 2012 forecast.
- The higher costs could be attributable to front-loaded manuring cost as a result of more timely fertiliser application vs. 1Q11, amid favourable weather. Labour cost have also been inflated by incentive payments that aim to enhance workers’ productivity.
- Earnings could rebound in 2Q12, with CPO spot prices at an average of MYR3,506/t MTD (+9%) vs. the 1Q12 spot average of MYR3,218/t.
[Maybank research 25.April.2012] Year-2012 Q1
[Maybank research 25.April.2012] Year-2012 Q1
- The high 52% QoQ growth in THP’s 2Q12 net profit of MYR19.9m (-38% YoY) is mainly due to “normalization of tax rate” for 1H12. THP recorded a significantly lower effective tax rate of 6% in 2Q12 which offsets 1Q12’s 37% effective tax rate. Operationally, 2Q12 pretax profit of MYR24.8m was flattish QoQ (- 1.4% QoQ, -54% YoY) due to benign 2Q12 CPO ASP (+2% QoQ, -5% YoY) and slow FFB production growth (+3% QoQ, -15 YoY). The high cost of production in 1Q12 persisted in 2Q12.
- 1H12 net profit plunged 39% YoY due to the dismal 1H12 FFB production (-5% YoY) and lower CPO ASP (-7% YoY). Cost of production was also inflated due to: i) higher manuring cost as a result of higher dosage and fertilizer cost, ii) additional pest control cost and iii) increased labour cost.

- 該公司在文告中說，次季稅前盈利下滑41.29%的原因是營業額降低和生產成本上揚。其中，施肥、除蟲和收成開銷分別增加14%（128萬令吉）、152%（87萬令吉）和38%（218萬令吉）。

- 3Q13 revenue improved 36% QoQ (+58% YoY) on seasonally stronger FFB production (+28% QoQ, +67% YoY) and slightly higher CPO ASPs (+2.7% QoQ, -22% YoY). 3Q13 EBIT jumped 164% QoQ (+57% YoY) on lower-than- expected cost of production per tonne, likely due to lower manuring cost. Albeit strong 9M13 FFB production growth (+62% YoY), 9M13 PBT declined 42% YoY. This is because cost of production was inflated by higher financing cost (+179% YoY) and amortization charges from the newly acquired estates despite efforts to improve efficiency.
- 9M13 CPO ASP of MYR2,143/t was at discount to spot prices due to deteriorated quality of its old CPO stock sold in 1H13 that has higher free fatty acid content.
- Although THP’s expansion plan would provide medium-to-long term earnings visibility, it would have to go through a gestation period (1-2 years) as the estates are still young with relatively higher cost of production per CPO tonne.

再谈THPLANT
Vendor Development Initiative. "The effort for vendor development, which is specifically aimed to develop the local community, has been in practise by THP since it ventured into plantations in the 70s."
"THP as a Government Link Company (GLC) believes it has a role in supporting the New Economic Model, in which the ultimate aim is to elevate the people's well being. THP provides assistance in terms of financial and expertise, so as not to leave the community's land left undeveloped. This effort started off in Sarawak, whereby a joint venture initiative with the local community enabled the development of their Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands."
上面的statement是来自于THP的2011年报。我们从中可以很清楚明白THP其实就是政府的其中一个种植业投资臂膀，主要是帮助一些乡下的土著来发展大片未开发的资源，从而改善他们的生活素质。然后，这些小型企业家再把收成售于THP，确保THP有稳定的供应，以期达到互利互惠。这就是THP的主要生意模式。
THP主要的营运包括：
2011年报有说：
"The management fees contributed RM25.8mil to the revenue, an increase of 7.4% from RM24.1mil in 2010."
"On monetising our plantation expertise, THP Agro Management Sdn Bhd ("THPAM"), our wholly owned subsidiary, manages THP Group's oil palm operations in Malaysia, and TH's oil plam operations in Malaysia & Indonesia as well as teak & rubber plantations in Sabah totalling approximately 168,985ha, contributing 5.9% or RM25.8mil of the revenue in the year 2011."
Contribution from management fees Year-2011: RM25.8mil / RM434.8mil = 5.9%
Contribution from management fees Year-2010: RM24.1mil / RM366mil = 6.6%
从中我们可以看到management fees对THP的贡献暂时并不大。不过THP也有提到会积极扩大这方面的收入，看来LTH接下来几年将会陆续将种植地交由THP来管理。"We are keen to reinfornce our role in providing management services as it enables us to cater to future growth by diversifying the revenue"
从以上2011年报中的图表我们也可以看到management fees的收入主要来自于印尼。
我们通常不愿意看到单一客户占了公司营业额的很大以部分，因为假如这个客户遇到困难倒闭，公司也会直接受拖累。同时我们也希望公司的客户是有素质的，那么生意才可以长久维持下去，公司才有成长的可能。THP的2011年报中也有交代公司的大客户，3大主要客户占了公司37%的。
(RM63,052,000+RM52,636,000+RM45,556) / RM434,835,000 = 37%

- TH PLANTATION Bhd targets to increase its land bank to 50,000 hectares from 39,113 ha by 2012, a company official said.TH Plantations plans to acquire the first "substantial parcel" by the end of June and are looking at Sumatera and Kalimantan where land prices are said to be lower compared to Sabah and Sarawak.
- A total of RM150 million has been allocated this year to build a palm oil mill in Sarawak and the company's replanting program me.
- The company's revenue jumped 20% last year, attributed to aggressive selling at immediate spot prices in 2Q2010 and 3Q2010, when the company simultaneously relaxed its forward and long-term pricing strategy.
http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business-news/185737-th-plantations-to-expand-land-bank-to-50000-ha-by-2012.html (April.2011)
- Of its current landbank, 60% or 22,541ha consists of mature areas with trees aged over 20 years. As part of its strategy going forward, the company plans to reduce the average age of its trees to 11 years from 18 by accelerating its replanting programme. In addition, it plans to improve its oil extraction rate which increased 59 bps to 21.09% last year.
- The company has allocated RM1 million as an “innovation budget”, part of which will go towards R&D on green energy and biofuels. And it has allocated a separate RM150 million in capital expenditure to build a palm oil mill and for its replanting program me.
- “The major part of this budget involves building the mill and housing complexes in the area, while 25% to 30% will go towards replanting,” Zainal told a press conference after the company’s annual general meeting.
- Last year, revenue surged 20% from RM304.36 million in 2009, while net profit surged 66.3% to RM89.48 million from RM53.8 million the year before.
“Last year was a record performance since the year we went for public listing [in 2006],” said Zainal.
He attributed this to the aggressive selling of palm oil at immediate spot prices in 2Q and 3Q10, to capitalise on rising CPO prices. During this period, the company simultaneously relaxed its forward and long-term pricing strategy. “We embark on aggressive spot sales only when the prices are going on a continual uptrend, but if [they are] on a downtrend we have to slightly modify our mechanism and focus more [on] forward and long-term sales,” said Zainal.
The company said a minimum of 40% of its total sales are at spot prices. Another 30% is sold under forward contracts where both volume and prices are pre-determined. The remaining 30% is sold under long-term contracts in which prices are based on the monthly average price published by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB).
According to figures released by the MPOB, CPO averaged RM2,740 per tonne in 2010. This compares with the company’s average CPO price of RM2,617 per tonne for the previous year. The company has set a target or base price of RM2,800 per tonne for 2011.

- The acquisition
price appears to be at a premium as we estimated its EV/planted ha at
MYR55,000/ha (with no mill). Such premium pricing reflects estates that
are typically 8 years and above (ie prime mature). As a comparison,
Sarawak Oil Palms (SOP MK, Buy) bought estates with similar age
profile for MYR41,300/ha in Sept „12. But we understand these estates
have good road infrastructure in place, and on mineral soil.
- Plantation estates typically break even in the 3rd-4th year of harvesting given low FFB yields in the initial years. But, in this instance, THP‟s breakeven could be delayed to the 4th-5th year of harvesting (i.e. FY15 onwards) because of its relatively higher financing cost. At the group level, THP will need to expense MYR13m interest (which may not be capitalized) for its new debt of MYR255m (assume 5% p.a interest). With this acquisition, THP‟s proforma net gearing will jump to 0.82x (from 0.31x on 30 June ‟12), but lowered to 0.52x once another ongoing asset acquisition which involves new THP share issuance is completed. Still, at 0.52x net gearing level, THP‟s ability to gear further for expansion is limited.

This would result in LTH's 59 per cent stake in THP to increase to 71 per cent, while other investors' holding dilutes. These investors would only vote in favour of the deal if there had been a tacit understanding that LTH will pare down its stake in THP.
- On the outlook for the company, Zainal said RM725 million in capital expenditure will go to planting up oil palms across 23,000ha in the next four years until 2016.

In response, Yusof said THP had just received written approval from the Sabah Chief Minister's office.
"The initial rejection was brought on by the issue of interpretation. Now, all parties are in agreement that LTH remain the licence holder while TH-Bonggaya carry on with the planting of teak and rubber trees."http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/thp13/Article/ (Year-2012 Q3)

http://biz.sinchew-i.com/node/46404 (April.2011)- TH PLANTATION Bhd targets to increase its land bank to 50,000 hectares from 39,113 ha by 2012, a company official said.TH Plantations plans to acquire the first "substantial parcel" by the end of June and are looking at Sumatera and Kalimantan where land prices are said to be lower compared to Sabah and Sarawak.
- A total of RM150 million has been allocated this year to build a palm oil mill in Sarawak and the company's replanting program me.
- The company's revenue jumped 20% last year, attributed to aggressive selling at immediate spot prices in 2Q2010 and 3Q2010, when the company simultaneously relaxed its forward and long-term pricing strategy.
http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/business-news/185737-th-plantations-to-expand-land-bank-to-50000-ha-by-2012.html (April.2011)
- Of its current landbank, 60% or 22,541ha consists of mature areas with trees aged over 20 years. As part of its strategy going forward, the company plans to reduce the average age of its trees to 11 years from 18 by accelerating its replanting programme. In addition, it plans to improve its oil extraction rate which increased 59 bps to 21.09% last year.
- The company has allocated RM1 million as an “innovation budget”, part of which will go towards R&D on green energy and biofuels. And it has allocated a separate RM150 million in capital expenditure to build a palm oil mill and for its replanting program me.
- “The major part of this budget involves building the mill and housing complexes in the area, while 25% to 30% will go towards replanting,” Zainal told a press conference after the company’s annual general meeting.
- Last year, revenue surged 20% from RM304.36 million in 2009, while net profit surged 66.3% to RM89.48 million from RM53.8 million the year before.
“Last year was a record performance since the year we went for public listing [in 2006],” said Zainal.
He attributed this to the aggressive selling of palm oil at immediate spot prices in 2Q and 3Q10, to capitalise on rising CPO prices. During this period, the company simultaneously relaxed its forward and long-term pricing strategy. “We embark on aggressive spot sales only when the prices are going on a continual uptrend, but if [they are] on a downtrend we have to slightly modify our mechanism and focus more [on] forward and long-term sales,” said Zainal.
The company said a minimum of 40% of its total sales are at spot prices. Another 30% is sold under forward contracts where both volume and prices are pre-determined. The remaining 30% is sold under long-term contracts in which prices are based on the monthly average price published by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB).
According to figures released by the MPOB, CPO averaged RM2,740 per tonne in 2010. This compares with the company’s average CPO price of RM2,617 per tonne for the previous year. The company has set a target or base price of RM2,800 per tonne for 2011.

- THP has proposed to acquire 100%-equity
interests in Bumi Suria Ventures SB (BSV) and Maju Warisanmas SB
(MWM) from Weida (WEI MK; Not Rated) and other shareholders for
MYR255m cash. These companies collectively own 5,424 ha of planted
oil palm estates (6,514 ha of gross land) in Sarawak located midway
between Bintulu and Sibu, with an estimated average age profile of ~2
years. Some 600 ha entered into its 1st year of harvesting and produced
2,646MT of FFB for Jan-Sep 2012. This translates to an annualized
yield of 6-7MT/ha, which is in tandem with normal FFB yield trends.
- Plantation estates typically break even in the 3rd-4th year of harvesting given low FFB yields in the initial years. But, in this instance, THP‟s breakeven could be delayed to the 4th-5th year of harvesting (i.e. FY15 onwards) because of its relatively higher financing cost. At the group level, THP will need to expense MYR13m interest (which may not be capitalized) for its new debt of MYR255m (assume 5% p.a interest). With this acquisition, THP‟s proforma net gearing will jump to 0.82x (from 0.31x on 30 June ‟12), but lowered to 0.52x once another ongoing asset acquisition which involves new THP share issuance is completed. Still, at 0.52x net gearing level, THP‟s ability to gear further for expansion is limited.
Acquisition of PT Persada Prima (first announced on 11 Nov
2011)
PT PKP still awaiting HGU. THP announced the acquisition of a 93% equity stake in PT Persada Prima (PT PKP) in Nov 2011 (for Rp46.2b or MYR16.8m at the exchange rate prevailing then) and it was expected to be completed by 2Q12. However PT PKP sought an extension as it has yet to obtain Surat Keputusan Hak Guna Usaha (i.e land permits, HGU) that is a condition precedent for the completion of the acquisition. PKP had obtained Plantation Business Permit (Izin Usaha Perkebunan) on 27 Feb 2009, which is one of the conditions before obtaining HGU. PT PKP owns 14,180ha of greenfield land in East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Results
- TH種植（THPLANT, 5112, 主板種植組）受高棕油價帶動，截至2011年3月31日止首季報淨利2千183萬令吉。
- 馬銀行研究指出，儘管首季棕油平均售價按季走高10%，鮮果串產量卻同步猛挫23%，造成淨利按季下滑49%。按年比較，首季淨利則上揚23%，主要因棕油平均售價高達每公噸3千471令吉，抵銷鮮果串產量按年下滑11%衝擊。(首季是種植業傳統弱季)
- 儘管首季生產成本按年下滑4%，但鑒於季節性週期因素，興業維持2011至2013財政年生產成本在每公噸1千100至1千200令吉之間。“棕油提煉廠將於2014年杪竣工，在此之前的獲益將取決於鮮果串銷售及原棕油價走勢，現階段難以預估。＂

- 同時，該公司期望今年的棕油鮮果串產量將按年上升8.6%至50萬4千公噸，相等於每公頃22公噸，比較去年為46萬4千公噸；並預計棕油榨取率可超越去年的21.09%，每公頃增長達5.5倍。
http://biz.sinchew-i.com/node/46599 (April.2011)
- 興業研究表示，截至2011年5月止，TH種植鮮果串產量按年成長1.8%，成功扭轉今年首先3個月產量下跌10.8%頹勢，其中單單5月產能按月上漲22.6%，令管理層有信心能達成全年產量成長7〜8%目標。
- 同時，興業指出，T H種植在2011年首季成功趕搭原棕油價漲潮，錄得平均每公噸3千471令吉售價，第二季也有望取得類似平均價，因其採用95%產量以現貨銷售模式，僅有5%以期貨售出。
-“TH種植對原棕油價高度敏感，預計原棕油價每出現100令吉變化，將對淨利帶來10〜12%影響。”

- TH Plantations Bhd’s net profit for 3QFY11 rose 53.83% to RM33.12 million from RM21.53 million a year ago, boosted by higher commodity prices. For the nine-month period, TH Plantations net profit surged 85.63% to RM87.11 million from RM46.93 million on growth of 27.92% in revenue to RM303.73 million from RM237.44 million previously.
- The company said the higher cumulative earnings were mainly due to higher commodity prices and higher gross profit margins.
- Quarter-on-quarter, TH Plantations net profit inched up 2.97% to RM33.12 million from RM32.16 million in the preceding quarter. Pre-tax profit fell 8.74% to RM49.51 million from RM54.26 million while revenue grew marginally by 2.88% to RM115.96 million from RM112.713 million previously.According to the company, the quarterly fall in 3Q pre-tax profit was due to higher fertiliser application.http://www.theedgemalaysia.com/in-the-financial-daily/194989-th-plantations-3q-net-profit-soars-54-on-higher-commodity-prices.html (Oct.2011)
- 該行預計該公司在今年末季的表現走弱及賺幅面對壓縮，主要因鮮果串產量在末季屬於季節性淡季及原棕油及棕仁平均售價按季走低，從今年首季的高峰每公噸達3千370令吉已崩跌近54%；以及大馬勞力薪資及肥料成本的走高造成成本的壓力，使2011年財測保持不變。馬銀行研究調降明年的原棕油平均售價，從每公噸3千令吉下調至2千600令吉。
- 該公司的2011財政年9個月凈利達8千711萬9千令吉，按年劇增85.64%，佔該行全年預測凈利達1億1千萬令吉的79%。

- THP’s RM13m 1Q12 core net profit (-40% YoY, -65% QoQ) accounted for just 10% and 12% of our and consensus FY12 forecasts respectively. The shortfall is due to higher- than-expected cost and taxes.
- THP’s 1Q12 EBIT of MYR27m, making up 11% of our full year estimate, shrank by 22% YoY due to lower CPO ASP (-11% YoY) and higher than expected costs, although FFB production increased 7.6% YoY.
- FFB production declined 30% QoQ as 1Q production is seasonally weakest. 1Q FFB production was in line with our expectations as it met 19% of our 2012 forecast.
- The higher costs could be attributable to front-loaded manuring cost as a result of more timely fertiliser application vs. 1Q11, amid favourable weather. Labour cost have also been inflated by incentive payments that aim to enhance workers’ productivity.
- Earnings could rebound in 2Q12, with CPO spot prices at an average of MYR3,506/t MTD (+9%) vs. the 1Q12 spot average of MYR3,218/t.

[Maybank research 25.April.2012] Year-2012 Q1
- The high 52% QoQ growth in THP’s 2Q12 net profit of MYR19.9m (-38% YoY) is mainly due to “normalization of tax rate” for 1H12. THP recorded a significantly lower effective tax rate of 6% in 2Q12 which offsets 1Q12’s 37% effective tax rate. Operationally, 2Q12 pretax profit of MYR24.8m was flattish QoQ (- 1.4% QoQ, -54% YoY) due to benign 2Q12 CPO ASP (+2% QoQ, -5% YoY) and slow FFB production growth (+3% QoQ, -15 YoY). The high cost of production in 1Q12 persisted in 2Q12.
- 1H12 net profit plunged 39% YoY due to the dismal 1H12 FFB production (-5% YoY) and lower CPO ASP (-7% YoY). Cost of production was also inflated due to: i) higher manuring cost as a result of higher dosage and fertilizer cost, ii) additional pest control cost and iii) increased labour cost.

- 截至6月止，TH種植（TH PLANT,5112,主板種植組）第二季淨利下跌38.17%至1千988萬6千令吉，導致首半年淨利跟著收窄38.97%，至3千295萬2千令吉。
- 該公司在文告中說，次季稅前盈利下滑41.29%的原因是營業額降低和生產成本上揚。其中，施肥、除蟲和收成開銷分別增加14%（128萬令吉）、152%（87萬令吉）和38%（218萬令吉）。
http://biz.sinchew.com.my/node/63593 (Aug.2012)
- TH種植第二季淨利按季增長52%，報1千990萬令吉，主要是受第一季稅務合理化影響，相比上一季的37%，第二季扣稅率只有6%。整體而言，該公司只取得2千480萬令吉稅前淨利，雖然油棕平均銷售量增加2%，但鮮果串產量卻減緩，按季只成長3%，加上第一季高生產成本延續至第二季，導致該公司按季表現平平。該行指出，該公司上半年淨利按年暴跌39%，原因包括上半年鮮果串產量按年減少5%，以及油棕銷售按年下滑7%。

http://www.nanyang.com/node/557941?tid=857 (Aug.2013 - FY2013)
- 3Q13 revenue improved 36% QoQ (+58% YoY) on seasonally stronger FFB production (+28% QoQ, +67% YoY) and slightly higher CPO ASPs (+2.7% QoQ, -22% YoY). 3Q13 EBIT jumped 164% QoQ (+57% YoY) on lower-than- expected cost of production per tonne, likely due to lower manuring cost. Albeit strong 9M13 FFB production growth (+62% YoY), 9M13 PBT declined 42% YoY. This is because cost of production was inflated by higher financing cost (+179% YoY) and amortization charges from the newly acquired estates despite efforts to improve efficiency.
- 9M13 CPO ASP of MYR2,143/t was at discount to spot prices due to deteriorated quality of its old CPO stock sold in 1H13 that has higher free fatty acid content.
- Although THP’s expansion plan would provide medium-to-long term earnings visibility, it would have to go through a gestation period (1-2 years) as the estates are still young with relatively higher cost of production per CPO tonne.

Financial ratio
- Return on equity (ROE) has been in declining trend since 2007 due mainly to a lower asset turnover ratio. We noted that the lower asset turnover ratio was due to corporate exercises occurred in 2008. THPLANT has completed the acquisitions of 51% and 100% equity interests in Syarikat Sabaco S/B and Ladang Bukit Belian S/B for a consideration of RM147.5 million and RM51.9 million respectively on 9 December 2008.

再谈THPLANT
Vendor Development Initiative. "The effort for vendor development, which is specifically aimed to develop the local community, has been in practise by THP since it ventured into plantations in the 70s."
"THP as a Government Link Company (GLC) believes it has a role in supporting the New Economic Model, in which the ultimate aim is to elevate the people's well being. THP provides assistance in terms of financial and expertise, so as not to leave the community's land left undeveloped. This effort started off in Sarawak, whereby a joint venture initiative with the local community enabled the development of their Native Customary Rights (NCR) lands."
上面的statement是来自于THP的2011年报。我们从中可以很清楚明白THP其实就是政府的其中一个种植业投资臂膀，主要是帮助一些乡下的土著来发展大片未开发的资源，从而改善他们的生活素质。然后，这些小型企业家再把收成售于THP，确保THP有稳定的供应，以期达到互利互惠。这就是THP的主要生意模式。
THP主要的营运包括：
下面是2011年报里显示的一些主要的收入来源，包括了对外和内部的交易。
惊人的employee turnover rate!
"The management fees contributed RM25.8mil to the revenue, an increase of 7.4% from RM24.1mil in 2010."
"On monetising our plantation expertise, THP Agro Management Sdn Bhd ("THPAM"), our wholly owned subsidiary, manages THP Group's oil palm operations in Malaysia, and TH's oil plam operations in Malaysia & Indonesia as well as teak & rubber plantations in Sabah totalling approximately 168,985ha, contributing 5.9% or RM25.8mil of the revenue in the year 2011."
Contribution from management fees Year-2011: RM25.8mil / RM434.8mil = 5.9%
Contribution from management fees Year-2010: RM24.1mil / RM366mil = 6.6%
从中我们可以看到management fees对THP的贡献暂时并不大。不过THP也有提到会积极扩大这方面的收入，看来LTH接下来几年将会陆续将种植地交由THP来管理。"We are keen to reinfornce our role in providing management services as it enables us to cater to future growth by diversifying the revenue"
我们通常不愿意看到单一客户占了公司营业额的很大以部分，因为假如这个客户遇到困难倒闭，公司也会直接受拖累。同时我们也希望公司的客户是有素质的，那么生意才可以长久维持下去，公司才有成长的可能。THP的2011年报中也有交代公司的大客户，3大主要客户占了公司37%的。
(RM63,052,000+RM52,636,000+RM45,556) / RM434,835,000 = 37%
大客户Ngo Chew Hong是一间国际公司，生意横跨五大洲，客户分布超过一百个国家。
Pacific Inter-Link Sdn Bhd则是大马公司，成立于1988年，主要是促进大马出口，把大马的产品包括油棕产品和服务推销到全世界。
根据2011年报以上的图表来看，
成熟面积共占总种植面积的64％(22,920ha / 35570ha) ，我们也看到THP已经没有空地可供未来栽种，所以要持续高成长，只有通过收购新地库或由大股东Lembaga Tabung Haji直接注入。这两个现象都在2012年确实实现了，所以我们可以肯定THP是有做大的意愿。2011年报也有说道，"In addition to that, the replanting programs to replace aged trees with superior planting materials remain a vital initiative for THP Group to avoid stagnating yields and a decline in production."，这也证明公司没有原地踏步。同时，2011年报也有提到，"We are constructing a new 60 MT per hour mill in Pusa,Sarawak with a processing capacity of approximately 360,000MT per annum. The mill is scheduled for completion in 2013 and will be timely investment to cater to the expected rapid growth of THP Group's crop production in that region."，这应该也是为LTH将注入和THP自身购买的东马种植地的产量作准备。
集团的种植地分布在Johor,Pahang,Negeri Sembilan,Terengganu,Sabah and Sarawak。集团的 palm oil mills则分布在Johor,Pahang,Negeri Sembilan和Sabah，一年可以handle共780,000MT。
2011年一些重要数据：
FFB production: 513,276MT (2010: 463,949MT)
FFB yield per ha: 22.39 MT per ha (2010: 20.58 MT per Ha)
Palm oil mill FFB capacity: 492,437 MT 包括向third parties够买 (2010: 449,229MT)
CPO and PK: 100,896MT and 26,087MT (2010: 94,762MT and 23,883MT)
Palm oil mill OER: 20.49% (2010: 21.09%)
Palm oil KER: 5.30% (2010: 5.32%)
THP average yield per ha(own production): 4.59MT (2010: 4.34MT)
土地(Leasehold land,Estates,Plantation development expenditure)占了Non-current assets的很大部分(89%)，以一家种植公司来看这是很正常的。
As at 31.Dec.2011,
(Leasehold RM374,205,000 + Estates RM209,196,000 + Plantation development expenditure RM278,844) / Total non-current assets RM972,341 = 89%
比起2011年，公司明显在2012年增加了负债(大约3.5倍)来扩充土地。
和其他积极扩充的种植公司的debts/equity ratio比较，还处于可接受的水平。
2011年报里头有提到关于Receivables的风险管理。
"A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that have been transacting with the Group and the Company. The Group and the Company use ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the receivables. Any receivables having significant balances past due more than 60 days, which are deemed to have higher credit risk, are monitored individually."
上面的图表（取自2011年报）告诉我们THP的Receivables(exclude subsidiaries & related companies)风险管理做的很好，至少没有超过30天的。
套用以下公式，告诉我们THP大约用44天回收帐款，低于公司的significant level 60天是好现象。
[(Trade receivables + Amount due from related companies) / Revenue] * 365 days
[(RM45,361 + RM6,586) / RM434,835] * 365 days = 44 days
2012年:
Gearing ratio = Total borrowings RM490,562,000 / Equity RM1,512,985,000 = 0.32
Net gearing ratio = (Total borrowings RM490,562,000 - Cash & equivalents RM125,217,000) / Equity RM1,512,985,000 = 0.24

一些比较重要的accounting practices:
"Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Company's statement of financial position at cost less any impairment losses. The cost of investments includes transaction costs."
"Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unreliased income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements."
"The Group and Company categorise financial instruments as follows: (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, (b) Held-to-maturity investments, (c) Loans and receivables, (d) Available for sale financial assets." -- and how they are recognized!
"Items of property,plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses."
"The cost of property,plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at acquisition date. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement cost when appropriate.When significant parts of an item of property,plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property,plant and equipment."
"Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property,plant and equipment. Estates consists of matured plantation development expenditure and are depreciated over 25 years, based on estimated annual production yield table. An estate is declared mature when the palm age has reached 36 months or more at the beginning of the financial year."
"All expenditure relating to development of oil palm estate (immature estate) will be capitalised under plantation development expenditure. This cost will be amortised when the expenditure is transferred to property,plant and equipment when the estate matures. Estate overhead expenditure is apportioned to revenue and plantation development expenditure on the basis of the proportion of mature to immature areas."
"The cost of inventories is measured based on weighted average cost formula, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity."
"All financial assets (except for financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss and investments in subsidiaries) are accessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset." -- Equity instruments, Loans and receivables, Unquoted equity instruments!
"The carrying amount of other assets (except for inventories) are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. An impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised."
"Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets."
"Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization."
