The egg producer was classified as a PN17 company on Feb 28, 2014, after its auditors had expressed concern over TPC, which posted a net loss of RM4.1 million in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2013 (FY13). Bursa's decision had also taken into account that TPC's shareholders' equity as at Dec 31, 2013 was less than 50% of the latter's issued capital.
In a statement today, TPC said Bursa had vide its letter dated July 31, 2015, approved its revised proposed regularisation plan, which entails a proposed share premium reduction, proposed par value reduction, a proposed rights issue with warrants, proposed capitalisation of amount owing to its holding company, Huat Lai Resources Bhd ([You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Financial Dashboard); as well as proposed amendments to its memorandum of association and articles of association.
Based on its approval obtained from Bursa, TPC said the regulator has also approved the listing and quotation of up to 180 million new TPC shares, under its proposed rights issue with warrants and proposed capitalisation.
In addition, Bursa has approved the listing of and quotation for 80 million warrants, that would be issued pursuant to the proposed rights issue with warrants and the 80 million new TPC shares to be issued arising from the exercise of the warrants.
"The proceeds to be raised from the proposed rights issue with warrants will be utilised by TPC for the purchase of layer and pullet houses and equipment, working capital and expenses in relation to the proposed regularisation plan," said TPC.
TPC expects to complete its implementation of the proposed regularisation plan in the first quarter of 2016.
It is required to record net profits for two consecutive financial quarters, immediately after the completion of the implementation of its regularisation plan, in order to uplift its PN17 status.
For FY14, TPC posted a net profit of RM4.76 million, on revenue of RM83.61 million. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, TPC achieved an unaudited net profit of RM 1.83 million, on revenue of RM23.81 million.

How does Facebook make money ?

Are you being curios on how Facebook earn money ? If so, let’s find out. J

There’s a reason why Facebook’s 10-K filing with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) uses the acronym ARPU, as in average revenue per user. Your account contributed $5.32 to Facebook last year. Congratulations, you’ve been commoditized and you never even knew it. Multiply that by the aforementioned estimated user base, and now you can understand why Facebook stock trades at 110 times earnings and has a market capitalization 10 times the size of its asset holdings. The company’s stock price has doubled since its initial public offering of two years ago, which some people thought even then was unjustifiably high.

When Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg went looking for a chief operating officer in 2007, it’s no coincidence that he selected not an engineer nor a technologist but a vice president with a background in advertising sales. Sheryl Sandberg had spent 6.5 years selling advertising as a vice president at Google (Nasdaq:GOOG). Growing Facebook’s user base to the point where it reached critical mass was obviously important to the company’s operations, but only to the extent that it provided something to attract advertisers. To an uninterested observer, committing the equivalent of the gross domestic product of Honduras to a texting application might sound like the height of dotcom era hubris and recklessness. But it isn’t. WhatsApp boasts 400 million users, which to Facebook management means an even greater stock of susceptible minds to sell as a unit to companies looking to, for instance, move a few more mobile phones this quarter. Every acquisition Facebook has made since, whether it was $1 billion for Instagram or $19 billion for WhatsApp, was conducted with the same goal in mind.

Advertising isn’t just a way for Facebook and its ilk to perhaps earn a little bit of revenue in between hosting family photos and personal musings.

"Our ability to attract advertisers to our platform and increase the amount that advertisers spend with us."

and

"Our ability to improve user monetization, including advertising revenue per timeline view."

So, all of your curiousty has been answered. You can see how a free apps looks not profitable yet are making money actually.

Types of Business Strategies

Have you ever wondered what kind of strategies that the international business had applied ?

Global Strategy

A firm using a global strategy sacrifices responsiveness to local requirements within each of its markets in favor of emphasizing efficiency. This strategy is the complete opposite of a multidomestic strategy. Some minor modifications to products and services may be made in various markets, but a global strategy stresses the need to gain economies of scale by offering essentially the same products or services in each market. The Coca Cola Company used this strategy.

Transnational Strategy

A firm using a transnational strategy seeks a middle ground between a multidomestic strategy and a global strategy. Such a firm tries to balance the desire for efficiency with the need to adjust to local preferences within various countries. For example, large fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) rely on the same brand names and the same core menu items around the world. These firms make some concessions to local tastes too. In France, for example, wine can be purchased at McDonald’s. This approach makes sense for McDonald’s because wine is a central element of French diets.

Multidomestic Strategy

A firm using a multidomestic strategy sacrifices efficiency in favor of emphasizing responsiveness to local requirements within each of its markets. Rather than trying to force all of its American-made shows on viewers around the globe, MTV customizes the programming that is shown on its channels within dozens of countries, including New Zealand, Portugal, Pakistan, and India. Similarly, food company H. J. Heinz adapts its products to match local preferences. Because some Indians will not eat garlic and onion, for example, Heinz offers them a version of its signature ketchup that does not include these two ingredients.

Strategies of Coca Cola Company to Stand Globalisation

It’s simple! Our new “one brand” strategy

• ·     Over the years consumer taste, preference and lifestyles have changed, and with that so has Coca‑Cola. We’ve innovated to include a range of lower and no sugar and calorie alternatives, each with their own identity. But recent research has showed that not everyone understands the options available to them, and the benefits of each drink, which is why we’re introducing a new “one brand” strategy to help make choice easier and simpler.
  From May in Great Britain our four colas will be marketed under one brand –Coca‑Cola – allowing Diet Coke, Coca‑Cola Zero and Coca‑Cola Life to benefit from its widespread appeal. We’ll be promoting the different characteristics of each variant, and giving black, silver and green greater presence in Coca‑Cola advertising. The strategy will also play an important part in our goal to achieve, by 2020, more than 50% of Coca‑Cola sales from lower or no calorie colas in Great Britain.
  
  
  Did you know? Five out of ten people don't know that Coca-Cola Zero is a no sugar, no calorie drink.
  “With our new ‘one brand’ approach, we are uniting four distinct brands under the umbrella of Coca‑Cola. We believe our no and lower sugar variants will benefit from this closer association with Coca‑Cola and that featuring all variants in our advertising will make clear to more consumers the full choice we offer them.” Jon Woods, General Manager of Coca‑Cola Great Britain & Ireland
  
  
  6 changes we're making:
  • Coca‑Cola advertising will show our full range of colas
  • Coca‑Cola TV ads will feature all four variants in the final frame
  • Our packaging will clearly highlight the benefits of each variant
  • The branding on every Coca‑Cola can and bottle will be in the same style, with different colours to distinguish each variant
  • In 2015, we’re doubling our marketing spend for our lower and no sugar and calorie colas
  • It’s the first time our sponsorship of a major international sporting event - Rugby World Cup 2015 – will promote all four variants, and champion Coca‑Cola with zero calories
  See how we’ve delivered on our commitments to provide more choice and information about our drinks.
  Our instantly recognisable Spencerian script will be used across all 330ml Coca‑Cola cans, which will also feature the UK Government’s front-of-pack labelling scheme, combining nutrient amounts and percentage Reference Intakes with colour-coding. Which pack will you choose?
