The Company said that as a result of its recent investment in Gallant, one of Malaysia's largest Apple resellers, it expects to benefit from the recent launch of new Apple products, including the iPod Shuffle and Mac Mini.
"Management is very encouraged by our preliminary estimates for revenue and earnings," said Chairman and CEO Patrick Lim. "We continue to see growth in our existing businesses and our acquisitions have begun to have a significant positive impact on revenues. While the level of activity related to acquisitions and our financing activities have increased our expenses substantially, we view these costs as a necessary component of our longer-term efforts to develop the businesses of SDGL and to secure viable positions in new lines of business that are important to the future of the Company."
SDGL cautions that its anticipated results are preliminary, based on the best information currently available to it, and are subject to customary year-end audit procedures.
