"The listing exercise will enable us to raise funds for our operations and expansion as well as enhance our business profile. We believe that our track record and growth potential have put us in a great position in the market and investors can tap into this growth and realise the fruits in time to come.
"We have been in the M&E services for 27 years and we have successfully completed over 500 projects both on our own and through joint ventures and partnerships with other well-established companies.
"We also have a diverse business presence regionally as our businesses are in Malaysia, Indonesia, GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries, Sri Lanka and Jamaica," added Teng.
On its financial performance, the company registered a total revenue of RM25.8 million and profit after tax of RM1.3 million for the financial year ended December 31 last year.
For the financial period ended March 31 this year, the group posted a revenue of RM5.2 million and a profit after tax of RM770,000.
News: Pasukhas IPO to raise RM11m (The Sun Daily)
SERI KEMBANGAN (Aug 2, 2012): Pasukhas Group Bhd, enroute to a listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on Aug 29, plans to raise RM10.8 million from its listing for working capital and to repay debts.
The group is launching its initial public offering (IPO) of 90 million new shares, which represent 30.5% of the group's enlarged share capital, at 12 sen apiece, with 10 million shares to be offered to the public, 25 million units to eligible directors and the remaining 55 million shares to be sold by way of placement.
The company's market capitalisation upon listing will be RM35.4 million, based on the IPO price and the enlarged share capital of 295 million shares.
Its chairman and managing director Teng Ah Kiong said 58.9% of the proceeds are to be used for working capital within 24 months after the listing; 15.1% for repayment of bank borrowings; 5.6% for research and development expenditure and the remaining 20.4% for listing expenses.
"We've been in the M&E engineering for 27 years and completed over 500 M&E engineering services projects both on our own as well as through joint ventures and partnerships with other established companies. Our ability to offer a comprehensive range of M&E engineering services and related electrical equipment such as LV switchboards and power transformers provides us with a competitive edge in our industry," he said at the group's prospectus launch today.
Through its subsidiary Pasukhas Sdn Bhd, the group is principally involved in the M&E engineering services targeting the water treatment and sewerage industry, palm oil and sugar mills and refineries, commercial buildings and other factories in the manufacturing sector.
Teng said the group is targeting a 20% growth in net profit next year, which will be driven by its overseas and local businesses in the M&E engineering sector.
Malaysia now contributes 85.2% of the group's revenue, while Indonesia and Abu Dhabi make up 12.9% and 1.9% respectively.
"We're planning to expand our business in Indonesia and in the Gulf Corporation Council countries. We're now looking at Qatar as a potential market for our M&E engineering services," he said, adding that the group is negotiating with the locals there for partnerships to undertake projects in Qatar.
"As we're still new and have not obtained a licence to do water severage-related projects in Qatar, we can only undertake commercial building projects for the time being. We're still looking forward to get jobs in our specialised area," he added.
As of end-June, the group's orderbook stood at RM68 million, which will keep it busy for 18 months.
News: Modest IPO for Pasukhas (The Malay Mail)
COGNISANT of the success in mammoth local initial public offers (IPOs) this year despite the economic gloom elsewhere in the region, Pasukhas Group Bhd is undertaking a relatively small IPO — seeking to raise only RM10.8 million with its 90 million public issue shares priced at 12 sen each.
A total of 10 million shares will be offered to the public until Aug 13 while the 25 million shares will be made available for application by eligible directors and employees with the group, with the remaining 55 million shares for identified private investors.
The mechanical and engineering services provider, operating for over 27 years, is targeting a 20% growth in profits for next year, said managing director Teng Ah Kiong Teng at the company’s prospectus launch yesterday.
“The listing exercise will enable us to raise funds for our continued operations and expansion.”
The proceeds will be used to pay for working capital (58.9%) within 24-months after listing, repayment of bank borrowings (15.1%) plus research and development expenditure (5.6%) with the remaining 20.4% for listing expenses, he said.
The group is now in talks with several parties to form joint-ventures for projects in new territories in Qatar. Expansion is also planned in Indonesia — which presently constitutes 12.9% of the company’s earnings, said Teng who is also the co-founder of Pasukhas.
The firm has completed over 500 jobs via joint-ventures with established companies both locally plus in Abu Dhabi and Indonesia. Teng said Pasukhas now has a RM68 million orderbook that will run until next year.
Its customers are from the water treatment and sewerage industries, palm oil and sugar mills and refineries plus manufacturing concerns, he added.
The company is enroute to a listing on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on Aug 29.
