Subject: Clarification of Operating result for Q3/2007
Master Ad Plc is the Out of Home Media providing advertising services
and production on Billboard both in outdoor and indoor area. In Q3/07, net
income from operation (consolidated financial statement in preliminary draft
version) was 11.74 MB which has increased by 40.5% compared to 8.35 MB in
Q3/06. This basically resulted from significantly reduced costs of goods and
administrative expenses although its revenue decreased by 17% from 151.8 MB in
Q3/06 to 125 MB in Q3/07.
For collective 9 months performance in 2007, operating net income has
dropped by 48.8% from 42.33 MB in 2006 to 20.68 MB in 2007. The factors of
declining net income were adversely affected by sluggish advertising industry,
mainly resulting from fluctuation of political and economic situation. Oil
price hike also another impact of substantial advertising budget cut of big
advertising spenders during such period. This therefore forced the industry
to dramatically cut down advertising fee which definitely caused company's
9-month net income slowdown.
Please be kindly informed accordingly.
Yours sincerely,
