Review of Performance 
In the financial period under review, the Group posted a 22% year-on-year revenue growth from RM142.3 million to RM174.0 million; this was mainly due to increased selling price and trading volume of our Fruit Gummy and Beverage production lines.  However, during the year, the Malaysian Ringgit has also been steadily strengthening against the US dollar. Consequently the impact of increased selling price on revenue growth was partially negated by the stronger Malaysian Ringgit.

The Group achieved profit before taxation of RM21.7 million, an increase of RM13.4 million or 161% from the previous corresponding period. This improvement in profit was attributable to the increase of sales revenue and production efficiency, especially from the Beverage section, which the Group incurred substantial startup cost during last financial year, higher fixed deposit interest received coupled with lower operating cost during the current period.
