NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that an Extraordinary General Meeting of Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad (the “Company”) will be held at Concorde I, Level 2, Concorde Hotel Shah Alam, No. 3, Jalan Tengku Ampuan Zabedah C9/C, 40100 Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan on Tuesday, 13 February 2018 at 9.30 a.m. or any adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting, whichever is later, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing with or without modifications the following resolution:

rMoi, more like trying to rally (a small one?!?) due to acquisition of TRIPLC...

No... BJcorp has never been the owner of oldtown, ONLY Kenny Rogers and Starbucks that's been listed through BJFood

haha ... Dennis, you have a point, guess that the benefits of being the BIG boss...

no, oldtown and umobile not owned by BJCorp... all the while owned by VT himself

laulau, didn't read that part, thought the 3 years was referred to BJLand's claim on China Property Project disposal final settlement?!?

Just hope that BJCorp will be able to report at least RM 100 million profit from the Ritz-Carlton Residences project through the 50% sold...

Laulau, thanks... VT son suggested during the AGM that they have no problem getting compensation for the JEJU project at full cost, but they want more, so the whole process will take time and they are not certain how long it would take...

Ritz-Carlton Residences is developed by BJCorp's subsidiary and has nothing to do with BJLand. Think its only mentioned because BJLand is the company being published...

The project is completed a few months ago, well, that's according to the guy in the newspaper when asked during the AGM. When reading through the quarter report, though, the sales and profit don't seem to be included then. Only when I read it in Focus today that Ritz-Carlton Residences is only handed over to buyers early last year. Thus, I believe the sales and profit will show during coming quarter report announcement that reflect Nov '17 - Feb '18 performance.

Read in Focus, Ritz Carlton Residences is only handed over on Dec 08 last year, no wonder sales figures and profits not shown in the quarterly results...

Will sell once profitable, and will MAKE SURE I will never touch this company, EVER... Sending signal to SC and Rozali, will never entertain any attempt to throw garbages at minority shareholders!!!

waiting, waiting, waiting, when'll BJCorp announce the details of the over 1 billion assets awaiting disposal?!?

Thought MOL is owned by VT, nothing to do with Bjcorp?

What good is bjcorp assets if they were impaired regularly or sold at loss/payment not received? Guess this is among the reasons bjcorp share price not performing at all.... sigh, hope it's not another 3 years in waiting...

Ok thanks

laulau, the restatements are not significant,,,

BJCorp needs to release some good news for price to move up, a highly profitable divestment would be great, or the Vietnam government agrees to allow BJCorp publishing the details of Vietnam Toto venture (must be dreaming, sigh!)

Saw an article on Focus (think its published last Friday, but I read it only today,) that Puncak Niaga is looking to inch a NRW (non revenue water) project from the federal government. Probably that's why the share price is moving somewhat....

Based on the article though, the chances of materializing the deal is very slim, given the election is close, water issue is sensitive and Pakatan Harapan is holding to three states.

Eddysurge, I'm merely responding to s_id1234 comment :)

err... another 2 possibilities, VT can't tahan his non-performing son(s) and/or daughter(s), OR, VT felt guilty letting his son(s) and/or daughter(s) taking blame for his stupid deals?!?

Can only hope BJCorp or BJLand announcing a highly profitable disposal, given its over 1 billion of BJCorp asset awaiting sale. 500 million profits from the disposal, is it too much to ask?!?

Oh... forgot to add, BJCorp on group level has a 6 month financing cost of 188 million. Assuming BjCorp is able to cut debt by half, that would means BJCorp will be able to 'book' roughly 188 million of profit a year simply by cutting financing expenses... Well, probably leveraging can be considered another leg of BJCorp, except its purpose is only to drag BJCorp down...

BJLand has two legs, NFO and property development & investment. The NFO business, though profitable, has declined but luckily downtrend is halting. The property development & investment over the past few years went into S Korea, China, Vietnam, and Japan. All except Japan, yet the smallest of all overseas ventures, is in trouble and divestment process... Only thing to hope, a better price for Vietnam project, a faster claim on China project, and favorable court judgment on Jeju project.

BJCorp has more legs, NFO, property development & investment, MLM, F&B, investment and blah blah... NFO through BJToto and Vietnam Toto, and Vietnam Toto has yet to see contribution in terms of profit (luckily the sales is growing.) Property Development & Investment through BJLand and parent company itself, but almost all oversea ventures are big jokes, yet the Malaysia site has yet to come up with mega project (not to mention current oversupply situation making it almost an impossible task?!?) MLM through Cosway bought at high price, and the most recent quarter report suggests Cosway needs more work to recover, F&B is too small with too many brands and genuinely doubt they are run efficiently. Investment in listed and non-listed companies, well, not too bad, given the past few years of divestments bring in the needed cash flow to keep BJCorp floating. Blah, blah cause there are so many others I don't even understand, haha...

Genuinely hope for a faster Vietnam Toto growth, a favorable Jeju court judgment, heavily profitable Vietnam project disposal, and claiming back the China money soon. Wonder if BJCorp has the right person for Cosway now?!?

so long BJCorp is dedicated to cutting down debt, I suppose its a safe investment awaiting catalysts from prospering Vietnam Toto, favorable Jeju court ruling, profit from disposing Vietnam property project, final payment of China property project, and improving Cosway operation (its terrible in this quarter, sigh!)...

miniminer, I genuinely doubt that VT cares about what his minorities think...

Still trying to portray VT a 'nice guy' + philanthropist? LOL

freetospeak, kind of agreeing with supersaiyan3, the management and board is terribly bad at disclosing the issues at hand. Guess until Jeju court case, China Great Mall debt collection, Vietnam property sale, Ritz-Carlton KL sale conditions (its a RM 1 billion project!), and Vietnam Toto breakeven forecast are clearly disclosed to shareholders, its very difficult to know where BJCorp is heading, sigh!

Until VT announcing some good news on any of the above, I have to put my BJCorp investment aside for the next 1-2 years, assuming VT's son has been honest with the Vietnam Toto's breakeven duration...

With BJCorp at 0.35 and BJLand at 0.37, I was wondering if VT looking at exercise to swap BJLand's shares into BJCorp' shares?!?

Well, on the bright side, the operating cash flow is strong, generating 337 million in 6 months and its balance sheet is sitting on over 1 billion of assets to be disposed.

Bill Lim, quite frankly, I don't know... From my understanding, Ritz-Carlton Residences is completed and handed over to buyers in this financial quarter whose earning to be reported (I raised the project completion with the board during AGM and was informed, except clueless how it will affect the P&L?!?)

quarter report announcement, waiting, waiting, waiting.... judgment day?

Based on BJLand's most recent quarter report, BJLand has cash and equivalent of 906 million and debt (long term + short term) of 3740 million (these include the debt and cash of BJToto,) an equivalent of a net debt of 2840 million. BJLand is currently disposing its project in China and Vietnam valuing at least 1160 million. Post disposal and collection, BJLand shall have a net debt of 1680 million including the net debt of BJToto of approximately 700 million, leaving the net debt of BJLand at RM 1 billion if BJToto's businesses were to be excluded.

Hopefully, BJLand can get good price on its Vietnam project and a reasonable payment on Jeju project. If there is anything that BJCorp should be worried about BJLand, it would be its management and BODs ability to move forward with so many big shits but well paid salaries!

alas, why the misleading?

The losses is not that scary if you read into the quarter report, in section A7 on page 11:

There were no material events subsequent to the end of this current quarter that have not been reflected in the financial statements for this current financial quarter under review except for the non-payment of the balance sales proceeds amounting to RMB974.07 million (equivalent to RM620.33 million) ("Final Instalment"), to be received by Berjaya (China) Great Mall Co Ltd ("GMOC") from the disposal of GMOC Project as disclosed in Note B7(d).

GMOC, after having sought legal advice, will commence legal proceedings against Beijing SkyOcean and the Guarantors as it has strong grounds to recover the outstanding Final Instalment due to GMOC. Based on the legal advice in respect of the legal proceedings and the eventual enforcement of the claim award, the Directors estimated that the reasonable time frame to recover the outstanding Final Instalment is approximately 3 years.
Hence, in accordance to FRS 139 : Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, GMOC has made a provision for impairment of RMB243.51 million (equivalent to RM155.08 million) in the current quarter under review to account for the time value of money for the full recovery of the outstanding Final Instalment.

Furthermore, BJLand has expressed its intention to sell its Vietnam project as disclosed in A3 on page 10. Based on its balance sheet, the project to be sold is worth at least RM 530 million:

The Group intends to dispose of certain of its projects and assets located in Vietnam and is currently in negotiation with some potential buyers. The Group expects the fair values less incidental expenses relating to the disposal of these projects and assets will be higher than its aggregate carrying amounts.

As such, no impairment loss is recognised on the reclassification of these projects and assets as held for sale for the period ended 31 October 2017.

Based on the above, BJLand is in a position of consolidating its balance sheet to pare down debt which is crucial if its to move forward...

alas no need 101 ways, just announce 30%-50% net profit will be distributed to shareholders as dividends...

stock hunt, may I know what do you mean by moving out from triangle? Thanks!

Thought breakout only possible if price above .38?

trader man, you sure boh? Your brokerage fee is RM 1057.50. If I were not wrong, above 200k trades, the stamp duty is fixed at RM200, so your cost before clearing fee is only RM1257.50. Your GST is at best RM 80.

BTW, brokerage fee is usually at heavy discount if you trades above RM 100k per stock per day...

Err... VT smart crocodile, Rozali shitty crocodile, still crocodiles...

alas, BJCorp is not a value trap lah... its a conman syndrome stock at best, i.e., a conman-led company whose majority shareholder has used to korek money from minorities and company for his own benefits. Most have little faith in VT benefiting his shareholders while there are some 'hoping' the conman has so much wealth already and will start to look after his minorities.

Stockraider, when I invested in Puncak, its a company yet to be acquired by Selangor state and I am buying into it believing that the acquisition is a must if the state is to have its own say in the water asset. Before buying into it, I thought Puncak board is not too bad because it has been willing to distribute dividends. In a way, I was right accessing the company's future in being acquired and wrong in the majority shareholder's integrity (well, he's apparently worse than VT...)

When I invested in BJCorp, I have noticed BJCorp exercising asset disposal to pare down debt, a step I believe is necessary to revitalize a company (frankly, how can a company move forward when it has so many debt dragging its feeet?) and Vietnam Toto has a great potential (well, BJCorp mentioned a JV in Vietnam Toto instead of taking a cut on the revenue when I bought into it. Also, when I added the shares, someone here attending last year's AGM mentioned the breakeven for Vietnam Toto is 1 year. Well, I attended the AGM this year and VT's son told me its 3 years, so ?!?)

So, in a way, when I invested in BJCorp, I know well VT is a conman with a slightly better characteristics than Puncak's Rozali. I didn't expect VT to become a good guy (frankly, how can one has any hope for a philanthropist treating his minorities like shit to really be a philanthropist?)
Surely, won't mind VT change his heart and never put that into my valuation. I am buying into BJCorp only because its cleaning up its balance sheet, paring down debt, and has entered into Vietnam Toto that seems to have good potential. I suppose that's why I have valued BJCorp to between 0.60 and 1.00, a heavy discount to its NA per share.

Stockraider,you're dreaming too much hoping a devil becoming angel...

freetospeak, 我有下文: 小和尚听完，想了想，想明白了，走过去给老和尚一巴掌，然后说:原来如此，我明白了。道了声感恩，然后再说，唉，还是没悟啊。。。

sslee, well said, no wonder every time VT doing charity, I felt like shit, and when calvintaneng comparing BJCorp to Berkshire Hathaway, I would think 'what?!?' After reading your article, it felt like doctor telling me why...

Eddysurge, I'm not insider with 'great' info, simply enjoying reading announcements, quarterly and annual reports. Still, burnt like hell in this boleh land

Pahang water concession soon?

calvintaneng, its one thing showing that BJCorp is undervalued, its another thing trying to compare BJCorp to Starbucks, cause BJCorp's BODs, management, and majority shareholder treat minority shareholders like shit...

calvintaneng, err... 10 years ago, BJCorp has a high of around 1.30 and a low of around 0.21, now BJCorp is 0.365, imagine those bought around 1.30 - how would they feel seeing VT's sons and daughters taking private jets, driving imported sports cars, and living luxurious lifestyle while BJCorp at 0.365?!?

oldtown is valued at least 1.45 billion, BJCorp has a market value of less than 1.78 billion... Err...

seems like we are going to retest 0.415, am I right?

Well, bjcorp share price seldom correlates to the news accordingly. A clear example would be the announcement of Vietnam Toto license didn't offer any price boost to bjcorp share price...

hippoyin, err... I'm not BJCorp employee leh, I simply post what I read through Bursa. My best guess, it will be paid in full including interests charges, just late payment.
