The PBT for the quarter is also at its lowest in the last five quarters, with a negative trend in the near term.

The company's non-operating income is at 121.65% of the PBT, which suggests a high income from non-business activities, which may not be a sustainable business model. The earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter are also at its lowest in the last five quarters, indicating a decline in profitability and lower earnings for shareholders.
