Pertama Holdings warns of loss

Start-up expenses of new stores in Malaysia are partly to blame.

The Board of Directors of Pertama Holdings Limited provided profit guidance on the Group’s results for the first quarter ended 30 September 2012.

The Group is expected to report a loss for Q1FY2013. The announcement said the expected first quarter loss is attributable mainly to start-up expenses of new stores in Malaysia coupled with price deflation of consumer electronics products.

Further details of the Group’s performance will be disclosed when the company announces its first quarter results in due course.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
