Despite the new build jack-up drilling rig, Perisai
Pacific 101 ("PP 101") commencing drilling operations in August 2014,
total revenue generated for the period ended 30 September 2014 was lower mainly
due to the absence of charter for the Mobile Offshore Production Unit,
Rubicone. (The first jack up drilling rig of Perisai, Perisai Pacific 101
commenced its 3-year contractual deployment in early August 2014).
Earnings were also impacted by higher finance cost
(including MTN interest of RM5.12million). The amount of decrease was however
mitigated by the share of contributions from the results of the joint ventures
from the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO), Perisai
Kamelia and associates and the gain on disposal of two cold-stacked vessels as
reflected in other income.
The result from SJR Marine which owns the Enterprise 3
was reflected under profit from discontinued operation prior to its disposal.
Subsequent to its 49% equity interest disposal on 26 December 2013, the result
of the remaining 51% equity interest was captured under the caption of share of
results of joint ventures.
Perisai is continuing to explore various opportunities
for its Derrick Pipe Lay Barge, Enterprise 3 and MOPU.
Stock is likely to remain under selling pressure as they
continue to try and secure contracts for two of their large assets in
challenging conditions for the sector.
6) Market - The prevailing cautious sentiment will
continue to drive investors side lined and back into defensive names such telcos
and high yielding sectors such as gaming and media for the time being.
