When come to investing, the "feel" is very important.
Instead of treating the stock as a symbol / code on the computer screen, it will help if we can actually tell what the company is doing.
As a further step to getting familiar with ACE stocks, I have copy and paste certain operational information from the respective companies' websites.
I hope the information and images can help us to have a better understanding of the companies and thereby allowing us to be better stock pickers.
This is Part 1 of a four part series.

ROBOTICS
LEARN . CREATE . BUILD
Bringing technology into a classroom is not something new today, especially for an established company like Eduspec, who had been providing quality ICT education and various administrative systems to Malaysian schools for almost three decades.
Now, bringing technology into the classroom, equipped with an effective learning tool, multimedia aid and most importantly, to learn about technology using technology is one of the most effective learning methods discovered. This new learning system is known as “Robotics Learning Solution.”
Having exposing and spearheading students to robotics learning tools as simple as assembling LEGO parts, writing simple programs from the computer and download into the readily robot, and animate the robot to perform activities requested by the user; Eduspec had been running innovative Robotics events from classroom solutions to platforms like Nationwide Junior Robothon and International Competition, Digital Youth Award – Robotics for Children for the past seven years. Their position as the market leader for Robotics Education is well-known in Malaysia, and expanding rapidly to neighbouring Asian countries like China, Singapore, Indonesia and Philippines.
“Where the universe, vast as it is, is shrunk into the size of a classroom for children to see, hear and touch... To feel, learn and understand.”
The above statement is the mission statement for the Robotics Education research and development arm for Eduspec, DES. Through a series of interesting and structured classroom learning solution, children are able to make the world “real” to themselves. When they build customisable robots, children are actually learning by making. Thus, knowledge transfer happens from abstract to concrete and they can assess their performance via result-oriented programming activities.
SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
In 1998, Eduspec first introduced the computerized administrative operation to school to help implement a Computerized Administrative System.
From then on, the schools daily administration, library management, school managment, attendance reports, exam result processing and other records, are handled electronically. Few years back, some school in fact have adopted new online module so that parents can now check their children's performance and access the latest updates on thier children status or progress.

4. Focus Point
It all started with the opening of the very first Focus Point outlet in Muar, Johor, back in 1989. At the time, it was simply called Focus Vision Care Centre, and the store was nothing more than a small counter in a shopping centre. From those humble beginnings, we have grown from a small-town optical store to a company that not only leads the eyewear retail industry in the country, but one that is set to make its mark on the region. Certainly, it has been quite a journey. Following the establishment of Focus Point Sdn Bhd in 1993, a head office was set up in Johor Bahru to provide management and operational support to the growing number of retail branches. But more opportunities beckoned, and we eventually expanded to the nation’s capital and set up home in Kuala Lumpur in 2000. As business continued to thrive, our management arrived at a turning point. The decision to formulate a franchise programme was sparked by the belief that people are the most important asset, plus a desire to create opportunities for rising young entrepreneurs. The offer to operate a franchise with the full support of the management was extended to Focus Point staff, and was met with such overwhelming response that over 70 franchise outlets were launched in just seven years. Since then, Focus Point Vision Care Group has won numerous awards for its franchise programme, including the prestigious “Best Homegrown Franchise” title from the Malaysian Franchise Association in 2009. Moving forward, we are confident of brighter prospects ahead. On 23 August 2010, Focus Point Holdings Bhd successfully made its debut on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd, a move Dato’ Liaw hailed as “a new benchmark for ourselves.” In the span of twenty years, our annual sales have grown to more than RM100 million. As we look forward to expanding our market, we recognize that in order to create more demand for our products, we must diversify our product range and professional services. And we are ready for that challenge. |

8. Jag Berhad
Infortech Hypersoft Sdn. Bhd. was incorporated on 14 July 1997. It was re-named Infortech MSC Sdn. Bhd. on 9 September 1997 and subsequently to Infortech Alliance Sdn. Bhd. on 10 December 2002. Infortech Alliance Sdn. Bhd. was then converted to Infortech Alliance Berhad on 16 December 2002 and successfully listed on the Malaysian Exchange of Securities Dealing and Automated Quotation (“MESDAQ”) Market (now known as ACE Market) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 28 July 2003.
Infortech Alliance Berhad has turned a new chapter with the successful completion of the reverse acquisition of Jaring Metal Industries Sdn. Bhd., a reputable Total Waste Management solutions provider on 10 December 2013. To reflect the change in core business, Infortech Alliance Berhad has been renamed JAG Berhad with effect from 16 June 2014.
Jaring Metal Industries Sdn Bhd is wholly-owned subsidiary of JAG Berhad. We are a specialist in scrap removal and recycling. We purchase all types of e-waste such as ferrous, non-ferrous and also precious metal scrap from public or private manufacturing companies. All the materials are sorted out in accordance to international specifications, and to be supplied to local foundries and overseas consumers worldwide.
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, monitors, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products. Many of these products can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Unfortunately, electronic discards is one of the fastest growing segments of our nation's waste stream.
Each year in Malaysia tens of thousands of electronic items become "obsolete" in the eyes of consumers. Rapid advances in technology and an expanding demand for new features accelerate the generation of "old" electronic equipment ("e-waste"). The result is a growing challenge for businesses, residents, and local governments as they search for ways to reuse, recycle, or properly dispose of this equipment.
Many components of electronic equipment--including metals, plastic, and glass--can be reused or recycled, while others may present environmental hazards if not managed correctly. Various scraps from electric and electronic items contain high quality minerals such as gold, silver, copper, nickel and other non-ferrous metals. The recyclable products include scrap semiconductors, scrap printed circuit boards and other parts of the electric and electronic scrap.
All items received by JMI are recycled in an ethical and environmentally friendly manner. The processes include cutting, crushing, milling, separating, smelting and refining. All the materials we recycle are put back into use by firms in the local, as well as global markets.
The materials we purchase and recycle includes:
JMI is a full service scrap metal recycling company, servicing from industrial scrap, automotive scrap, demolition scrap, electronic and appliances scrap. We purchase and recycle all types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. They include copper, brass, bronze, aluminium, zinc, magnesium, tin, steel, nickel and precious metals such as gold, silver and other minerals.
All of our operations utilize environmentally sound practices and meet the highest standards in quality control and environmental health and safety management.
A wide variety of residues containing tantalum, indium, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and other high-value metals are processed in various ways to recover the metal value. Processes for residues containing these, and other high value metals, are developed on a case-by-case basis to remove impurities and produce salable products.
JMI has broad capability to process precious and high-value metals. We use several different types and sizes of smelting and refining furnaces, and have installed a number of hydrometallurgical and physical separation processes as well.
The utmost care is taken to ensure the integrity of materials during processing. The following types of material containing precious metals are recycled:
