Based on 30/9/2018 account with cash balance RM142.667 Mil and plus once the money collected from Columbus Capital RM58,000,000 less retention sum RM 5 Mil = 200.667 Mil and plus retantion of RM93.75 Mil from Zurich and RM5 Mil from Columbus. This company is very rich in cash of RM 299.417 Mil . which work out of RM1.09 per share based on 273,517,752 shares.

All other businesses are FREE in the Group. THAT IS WHY I CALLED MAA is a lelong stock.

The risk of capital is Zero, if you buy low and at cureent price of RM0.435 per share, MAA is a lelong stock now, not to mention that the management has just sold Columbus Capita for A$ 21 Million at RM3.00 for A$1.00 , = RM63,000,000-00. and cash per share is RM0.23.

If delisted, we are small investors and nothing we can do execpt to sell the share before delisting or hold on with the shares together with the major shareholders. The management will be more concern and with strong pressure to the Management. They have to come up with a plan to get back to the listing again.

What is your Capital at Risk if you invest in MAAG (12/12/2018) today based on announcement dated 3 April 2018 on PROPOSED VARIATION TO THE UTILISATION OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL OF MAA TAKAFUL BERHAD (“PROPOSAL”). 

MAAG is a PN17 company since 30 September 2011 and still a PN 17 company as at to date. 
The current Paid-Up Capital of MAAG is 273,517,752 shares. 
If current share price for MAAG is RM 0.435 per share as at 12/12/2018, 

Based on PROPOSAL and I am taking 5 items in the Proposal to do a simple calculation on how risky to invest in MAAG now. 

Based on the Proposal on note f, 
Balance of RM 30,854,000 shall be utilized as working capital and share buy-back exercise. So I make assumption on this point by allocating RM 21,250,000 for share buy-back and the balance for working capital. So 2018 share buy-back of 10,000,000 shares at the average price of RM0.80 per share and the shares shall be cancelled after share buy-back. So 2018 , the Paid-up Capital shall be 261,017,752 shares. In 2019 share buy-back of 11,250,000 shares at the average price of RM0.90 per share and the shares shall be cancelled after share buy-back. So 2019 , the Paid-up Capital shall be 248,517,752 shares. 
The Balance of Paid-Up Capital shall be used for dividend calculation in the note b,c,d and g. 

Based on the Proposal on note g, 
Balance of RM 32,822,000 shall be payment of dividends to MAAG Shareholders for 2018 and 2019. The Board intends to utilize approximately RM32.82 million for the payment of dividends to its shareholders for the FYE 2018 and FYE 2019 respectively. 
So, my assumption is MAAG will be proposing dividend for 2018 is 6 sen less 3 sen was paid in 25th April 2018 and balance is only 3 sen for 2018 and 2019 is 6 sen. 

Based on the Proposal on note b, 
To simply the note b, the balance of RM 40,250,000, if unable to identify new business opportunity after 2 years, that is by 30/6/2020, the proceeds allocated for future investment opportunities may be distributed back to the entitled shareholders of MAAG. So, my assumption is MAAG will be distributing further dividend after 30/6/2020 for 16.20 sens. (RM40,250,000 divide by 248,517,752 shares). 

Based on the Proposal on note d, 
To simply the note d, the balance of RM 28,000,000, if unable to identify new business opportunity after 2 years, that is by 30/6/2020, the proceeds allocated for future investment opportunities may be distributed back to the entitled shareholders of MAAG. So, my assumption is MAAG will be distributing further dividend after 30/6/2020 for 11.27 sens. (RM28,000,000 divide by 248,517,752 shares). 

Based on the Proposal on note c, 
The balance retained consideration sum due on 30/6/2019 of RM 93,750,000, if unable to identify new business opportunity after 2 years, that is by 30/6/2021, the proceeds allocated for future investment opportunities may be distributed back to the entitled shareholders of MAAG. So, my assumption is MAAG will be distributing further dividend after 30/6/2021 for 37.72 sens. (RM93,750,000 divide by 248,517,752 shares). 

So, to sum up, What is your CAPITAL AT RISK if you invest in MAAG now. 
IF Share price RM 0.435 and (less balance of dividend left for 2 years is RM 0.09 (on note g) less dividend (on note b) is RM 0.162 less dividend (on note d) is RM 0.1127 less dividend on retained consideration (on note c) is RM 0.3772 = RM0.7419), therefore your Capital at Risk is only RM – 0.3069 per share. 

CONCLUSION
It is Risk FREE.

Calculation for future NTA 
Current NTA as at 30/09/2018 was RM1.93. If next 2 years MAAG still cannot find new businesses, I will assume that MAAG shall be a losing concern for next 4 years, I will discount NTA by 40 sen until 2021 and Less dividend for RM 0.7419 . The Future NTA shall be RM 0.7881. 

The above assumption is The Management cannot identify any new businesses to invest .

In 2019 share buy-back of 11,250,000 shares at the average price of RM0.90 per share and the shares shall be cancelled after share buy-back. So 2019 , the Paid-up Capital shall be 248,517,752 shares.
The Balance of Paid-Up Capital shall be used for dividend calculation in the note b,c, d and g.

Based on the Proposal on note g,

So, my assumption is MAAG will be proposing dividend for 2018 is 6 sen and 2019 is 6 sen.

Based on the Proposal on note b,

Based on the Proposal on note c,

So, my assumption is MAAG will be distributing further dividend after 30/6/2021 for 37.72 sens. (RM93,750,000 divide by 248,517,752 shares).

So, to sum up, What is your CAPITAL AT RISK if you invest in MAAG now.
IF Share price RM 0.615 and (less dividend for 2 years is RM 0.12 less RM 0.03 already paid = RM 0.09 (on note g) less dividend (on note b) is RM 0.162 less dividend (on note d) is RM 0.1127 less dividend on retained consideration (on note c) is RM 0.3772 = RM0.7419), therefore your Capital at Risk is minus RM-0.1269 per share.

Calculation for future NTA
Current NTA is RM 1.97. If next 2 years MAAG still cannot find new businesses, I will assume that MAAG shall be a losing concern for next 4 years, I will discount NTA by 40 sen until 2021 and Less dividend for RM 0.7419 . The Future NTA shall be RM 0.8281.

The above assumption is The Management cannot identify any new businesses to invest .

Going forward, if the Management can identify new business very soon, then this could be very exciting for the shareholders to see more improvement in the share price trending up and "Good things come to those who wait".

Why MAA is so bearish at only RM0.62 per share? Why The Management has the mandate for the share buyback from the shareholders during last AGM, and they are still not act on it.
I think MAA is getting more value if they going to keep their promise by giving 3 sen dividend based on the last announcement dated on 3rd April 2018 before EGM.
