Compared to the previous financial year, Group turnover increased by 8.7% to $22.4 million due to better performance of the Property division. Turnover at Company level, however, saw a decline of 9.4% to $13 million attributed to lower sales achieved by the Gifts division as a result of very difficult retail market conditions brought about by the economic crisis.

As a result of higher property rentals and cost savings measures implemented over the last two financial years, the Group was able to reduce operating losses by 62.3% to $0.64 million and by 64.2% to $0.57 million at Company level.

Save as disclosed, no item, transaction or event of a material or unusual nature has arisen which would affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group for the period from the end of the financial year to the date of this report.

The Gifts division is working towards an improved performance, riding on better retail market conditions as the Singapore and regional economies recover.

The performance of the Property division is expected to show improvement from healthier rental income and investment sales.

Barring unforseen circumstances, the Directors expect the Group performance for the current financial year to show an improvement over that of the previous financial year.

during wartime like this, i think u would agree that it's imperative to go for the defensives.

i am not going to talk in length about those sectors that u guys are already chasing. i am going to talk about one penny counter that won't usually come to mind. some dun even hear of it --- noel gifts.

this one-stop shop for hampers, bouquets and presents may be among the beneficiaries of the war. the reasoning: when there is a war, there are casualties. people will send flowers and wreathes to the victim’s families. also, christmas season is only two months away, people still need to spend on gifts or flowers despite the bad time, albeit lesser.

and dun forget the chinese new year and the valentine's day, all are big days for noel. still remember last valentine's day that my boy boy sent me 9 stalks of roses from noel gifts cost more than $100 leh. fat margins as u can see.

just go to its website -- noelgifts.com -- and u will be impressed by the great varieties of products and services it offers. its website sells more than 800 gift items, ranging from mini-fountains to black forest cakes as well as its trademark hampers.

noel gifts has become profitable since last yr. although the numbers are small, it is operating one of the steadiest business in time like this.

as a vote of confidence to noel gifts, its managing director alfred wong has been accumulating the company shares recently.

at 0.08 each, it's trading at more than 50% discount to its nta of 0.175.

p/s: this is just my silly talk on the company, hoping that the mgt can give special discount to my boy boy on this coming christmas and valentine's day
