                                    12% below cons (f) RM23.6m
 
Profit before tax has increased 61% from RM4.1 million in the preceding year corresponding quarter to RM6.6 million in the current quarter, attributed mainly to the higher sales volume of bottled water and the overall reduction in PET resin prices.
 
The Group's manufacturing segment contributed RM52.1 million revenue for the quarter ended 31 August 2013 as compared to the revenue of RM44.1 million recorded in the preceding year representing an 18% increase.  This is mainly attributable to the overall increase in sales volume and average selling price due to an increase in sales of big pack size products.
 
Currently trading at its historical mean PE of 10x , we rate it a hold.
 
 
 
6) Market - With the US debt ceiling expected to be resolved before the Oct 17 deadline, focus will shift to more domestic issues such as the 2014 Budget to be held on Oct 25.
