San Teh’s cement business continues to be its main revenue driver. Riding on to its excellent FY06 results, FY07 has also proven to be a successful year. Since FY04, the cement business has returned to the black after many years of losses. Turnover of the Group rose 26% to $162.7 million and profit after taxation improved 14% to $11.9 million. Sales in cement operation went up by 31% to $128.3 million and the operating profit increased 39% to $21.0 million. The average cement selling price was higher at RMB256 per ton as compared to RMB240 per ton in FY06. In FY08, the average cement selling prices are expected to hover at around RMB250 to 260 per ton on the back of strong fixed-asset investment and GDP growth in China.
