KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) is selling a piece of prime lan along Jalan Kia Peng here to the Social Security Organisation (Socso) for RM323mil, which could see it recording a profit of RM56mil.
The infrastrcuture-property company announced on Monday its unit Legasi Azam Sdn Bhd had inked a deal to sell the freehold land measuring 1.866 acres to Soco, or also known as Pertubuhan Keselamatan Social (Perkeso).
MRCB said the net book value was RM269mil based on the audited accounts for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2016.
Its market value was RM323mil based on the valuation ascribed by IM Global Property Consultants on Feb 19, 2018. The original cost of investment was RM267mil while the date of purchase was April 7, 2015.
“The proposed disposal is expected to realise an estimated after-tax gain of approximately RM30mil to the MRCB Group which is expected to improve MRCB Group’s consolidated earnings per share for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2018,” it said.
MRCB said the proceeds from the sale would be used for the group's working capital (including defraying expenses in connection with the proposed disposal) and property development activities within 12 months from receiving the purchase price.
KUALA LUMPUR (March 19): Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) is selling a 1.866-acre piece of land in Jalan Kia Peng here to the Social Security Organisation (Socso) for RM323 million cash.
The land was originally acquired on April 7, 2015 for RM259.16 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, MRCB said the group is expected to realise an estimated after-tax gain of RM30 million to MRCB Group from the proposed disposal, which is expected to improve its consolidated earnings per share for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2018 (FY18).
MRCB said the proposed disposal allows it to focus on its bigger property development projects such as projects in Bukit Jalil, Cyberjaya, PJ Sentral and Kwasa Sentral and at the same time, have the flexibility to reallocate its cash flows and resources efficiently among those projects.
Earlier today, MRCB's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Legasi Azam Sdn Bhd entered into a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Socso for the proposed disposal.
The land's net book value stood at RM269 million based on MRCB's audited accounts for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2016 (FY16).
Still, MRCB warned there is a possibility the SPA may not be completed due to failure in fulfilling the conditions precedent as set out in the SPA, within the stipulated timeframe.
"Nevertheless, the board will take reasonable steps to ensure that every effort is made to complete the proposed disposal in a timely manner," it said.
The completion of the SPA is conditional upon Socso having obtained the approval of the Economic Planning Unit to purchase the land within six months.
MRCB said the proceeds from the proposed disposal will be utilised for the group’s working capital and property development activities within 12 months from receiving the purchase price.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the proposed disposal is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2018.
MRCB shares closed up one sen or 1% at RM1.01 today, with 7.73 million shares done, for a market capitalisation of RM4.39 billion.
How many of y'all have bought Rm 1??? You should feel happy now !!! Wahahaha .... Tomoro take your chances of the share price still remain side ways!!! Guys!!!
When dji up 400++ points on 10th March, it did not reflect on mrcb price. And DJI has recovered from the low since February but this wasn't reflected in mrcb price. So what's the correlation that if Dji down for 300++ points, mrcb would be affected? Isn't that a bias trend analysis? Mrcb did not recover since DJI down 1000+ + points in Feb. Mrcb has already decouple from dji index.
