Del Monte turns around with 3Q net profit of $4.3m
Mainboard-listed Del Monte Pacific today announced a third quarter net profit of US$3.3 million ($4.27 million), reversing a net loss of US$1.7 million in the same period last year.

All Good/Forecastle Previews

How you holding up? It’s only July, kids, and there’s MANY more sets and sunrises to enjoy before summer comes to
an end. Eat some high fiber cereal, take your vitamins and pack enough beer. We’re far from over this season! Let’s
dive into two primo offerings this coming weekend.
All Good Festival :: 07.08.10-07.11.10 :: Marvin’s Mountaintop :: Masontown,
WV
This mid-Atlantic darling genuinely lives up to its catchphrase name. With no overlapping music on its twin Dragon
and Crane Stages, All Good encourages one to settle in and enjoy the musical adventure they’ve programmed for
you, cutting back on the gypsy wandering one experiences at most summer fests. Umph’s Jake Cinninger has dubbed
to performance space “the concert bowl,” and it’s all-too-easy to imagine stretching out on the grass as headliners
Furthur, Widespread Panic, Umphrey’s McGee and Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi rock ya for a little
while. Here’s a few suggestions for sets you should be out of your tent in time to enjoy.
1. Femi Kuti & The Positive Force ::
Friday :: 3:45-4:50 PM :: Dragon Stage
While his father is currently the toast of Broadway, Femi Kuti is breathing hot life into the musical tradition Fela
began. A fiery blend of dance-ready African rhythms, political themes and tight, large group musicianship, Femi &
Positive Force are lethal live. Come prepared to kick off your shoes and dance.
2. Dr. Dog :: Saturday :: 2:40-
3:40 PM :: Dragon Stage
If The Beatles had decided to NOT retire from the road and instead suss out ways to transmute their studio brilliance
into equally brilliant live performances, well, it might have sounded a good deal like Dr. Dog. While the band’s
presence has grown rapidly on the national stage, based on what JamBase heard at High Sierra, many fest veterans
haven’t experienced their life-affirming concert performances yet. This is soul-deep music that arms one with small
kernels of wisdom and puts a warm breeze beneath your heels.
3. The Lee Boys & The Travelin’ McCourys :: Sunday ::
12:15-2:15 PM :: Dragon Stage
Sacred steel meets bluegrass and southern rock. It’s a gosh darn beautiful combination and a far cry from the way
these boys play when Del is leading the charge. A real conversation that expands one’s musical horizons takes place
when this bunch assembles onstage. Not to be missed, and a grand way to get your Sunday rolling.
Check out JamBase’s 2009 All Good review for fuller picture of what awaits you on Marvin’s
Mountaintop.

Forecastle Festival :: 07.09.10-07.11.10 :: Waterfront Park :: Louisville,
Kentucky
The 9th Annual Forecastle Festival, located in the heart of one of the great cities of the South, takes its
name, according to the fest’s website, from a sailing term meaning “a superstructure at the bow of a ship where the
crew is housed. Hard at work in the boundless blue sea, a place where workers unite after a hard day of labor. A
place where the people come together.” Sounds nice, and it won’t be hard to have a good time with headliners like
Widespread Panic, Smashing Pumpkins, Spoon and The Flaming Lips providing the
soundtrack for one’s revels. And there’s a lot of other golden moments waiting to happen on Forecastle’s four music
stages. Here’s three keepers we want to steer attendees towards.
1. Lucero :: Friday :: 10:30-12:00
midnight :: East Stage
While many of you will be glued to Widespread on the main stage, another American rock ‘n’ roll great will be playing
a short distance away. Over the past 12 years, Lucero has married punk to southern rock and quality singer-
songwriter sensibilities. Anchored by Ben Nichols and Brian Venable, the band is as real as a
heart attack and tuneful as the best Drive-By Truckers and The Replacements, just two kindred spirits to this
exceptional band.
2. Devo :: Saturday :: 7:30-8:45
PM :: West Stage
The term “devolution” didn’t exist before these spud boys invented it. Not many bands alter the general social
lexicon AND cover the Rolling Stones with aplomb. Devo is playing with real energy and wit these days, perhaps
reveling in the fact that they were already living the present moment decades before us all. You don’t want to tell
your grandkids one day that you missed a chance to see these guys live.
3. Joe Purdy :: Sunday :: 1:00-
1:45 PM :: West Stage
Very quietly but with sure, strong steps, Purdy has crafted one of the finest, heaviest songbooks of any American
singer-songwriter going. His beautifully broken voice, his vaguely hobo-esque appearance and especially his insight
into the human condition leave a profound impression.

Singapore’s benchmark Straits Times Index (.FTSTI) fell 1.99% to 2,932.04 points on Wednesday. US stocks rose last night after the Federal Reserve pointed to signs of strength in the economy, comments that gave some relief to investors worried about possible debt defaults in Europe.
Singapore’s annual inflation could hit its highest in nearly two years in the fourth quarter, the central bank said on Wednesday, but further policy tightening at its next review in October appears unlikely for now.

The benchmark Straits Times Index (.FTSTI) rose 0.9% to end at 2,782.55 last evening. US stocks suffered their biggest one-day decline in nearly three weeks last night after a sharp drop in consumer confidence heightened worries. Here are some stocks and factors to watch:
Del Monte Pacific posts 4Q net profit of $5.5m
Del Monte Pacific (DELM SP) (DMPL.SI) returned to profitability with a net profit of US$3.9 million ($5.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to a net loss of US$1.7 million in the third quarter. This is significantly lower than prior year quarter’s net profit of US$19.2 million mainly due to higher input costs, lower volume in the export markets and foregone sales in the Philippine market.
Sales for the quarter declined by 6% to US$115 million from US$122 million a year ago, mainly due to the 25% drop in sales to Europe and North America, reflecting continued softness in consumer demand.
