The market value as at 31 May 2017 was RM6,176,821 and the cost was RM21,202,731. This is considered significant under FRSIC issued Consensus 14 – Impairment of Investment in Equity Instrument categorised as Available-for-Sale Financial Asset. A decline in fair value below the original cost of the equity instrument that had persisted for more than 9 to 12 months would generally be considered as “Prolonged” and hence, be impaired. *As at 31 May 2017, the net unrealised loss for Parkson Holdings Berhad was RM698,249 together with the impairment loss of RM14,327,660 recognised as at 31 May 2017, giving the total unrealised loss of RM15,025,909.

LONG TERM CAPITAL APPRECIATION

icapital.biz Berhad is a long-term capital appreciation fund, managed based on an eclectic value investing philosophy.

For those who are familiar with long-term value investing, there will be times when this time-proven investing style will yield superior returns, and there will be times when it will yield lower returns.

Even Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway experiences such phases. We often read about Warren Buffett’s impressive longterm performance but one needs to bear in mind the times when Berkshire Hathaway was not performing.

In June 1998, Berkshire Hathaway traded at a high of US$84,000 per ‘A’ share. More than seven years later, it traded at a high of US$84,600 or a measly gain of less than 1% in total.

In that same period, the S&P 500 gained 8.6%, measured from a high of 1,145 points in  June 1998 and a high of 1,243 points in September 2005.

Investors who are not long-term focused or not genuine value investors would have been disappointed with Buffett’s performance (Berkshire Hathaway was having US$35.96 billion cash in 2003) and could have called for his retirement.

Fortunately for Berkshire Hathaway, it has plenty of like-minded investors who have stayed with Warren Buffett (in March 2009, Berkshire Hathaway fell to a low of US$70,050).

A good fund manager should not get distracted by shorter-term noises; similarly, share owners who believe in long-term value investing should not get distracted by shorter-term investors.

For your Fund to succeed year in, year out, attracting the right share owners is very crucial.

4.4 IMPAIRMENT

(a) Impairment of Financial Assets All financial assets (other than those categorised at fair value through profit or loss), are assessed at the end of each reporting period 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.

For an equity instrument, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. 

An impairment loss in respect of held-to-maturity investments and loans and receivables financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

An impairment loss in respect of available-for-sale financial assets is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the fair value reserve.

In addition, the cumulative loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under fair value reserve, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale equity instruments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss made is recognised in other comprehensive income.

Author: gorenggoreng88   |    Publish date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017, 08:56 PM

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 17): Vitrox Corporation Bhd’s net profit increased 48% to RM21.34 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 (2QFY17) from RM14.42 million, mainly due to higher customer orders of its machine vision system and automated board inspection products.

Earnings per share rose to 9.09 sen per share for 2QFY7 compared with 6.17 sen per share in 2QFY16.

Revenue rose 37% to RM77.62 million from RM56.64 million a year ago.

In its bourse filing today, the group said the increase in earnings was driven by higher demand from a wider customer base and positive acceptance of products.

For its cumulative first half, the group’s net profit increased 33% to RM39.91 million from RM30.02 million. Cumulative revenue increased 31% to RM147.23 million from RM112.67 million a year ago.

Moving forward Vitrox said it will continue to focus on market expansion activities, customer relationship building and product innovation to grow its business further in the new financial year.

It also said the group had taken steps to minimise its monetary assets in order to mitigate financial impact arising from currency fluctuation.

Vitrox shares closed 25 sen higher or 5.5% to an all-time high at RM4.80, with a market capitalisation of RM2.19 billion.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 18): Automated test equipment solutions provider Elsoft Research Bhd posted a net profit of RM7.1 million for the second financial quarter ended June 30, 2017 (2QFY17), down 32% from RM10.4 million a year ago on lower revenue, a share of losses in associated companies and unfavourable foreign exchange.

Quarterly revenue fell 19% to RM14.9 million from RM18.4 million in 2QFY16, no thanks to lower demand from general lighting and smart devices industry.

The group declared a single-tier interim dividend of three sen per share, with Sept 13 as the ex-date and Sept 29 as payment date.

For the first half of FY17 (1HFY17), net profit climbed 10% to RM13.1 million from RM11.9 million in 1HFY15, while revenue increased 5% to RM30.1 million from RM28.6 million a year earlier mainly due to greater demand from automotive industry but was partially offset by lower demand from smart devices industry.

In its filing with Bursa Malaysia, Elsoft said it is optimistic about the group's prospects for FY17.

Elsoft closed down four sen or 1.43% to RM2.76, with 138,200 shares traded for a market capitalisation of RM759.15 million. Year to date, the stock has gained about 97%.
