The remuneration package paid to Benalec Holdings Bhd’s group managing director Datuk Leaw Seng Hai, which has been labelled “excessive”, has roused the ire of some minority shareholders.They claimed that Leaw’s remuneration ranges between RM7.5 million and RM8 million in the group’s financial year ended June 30, 2014 (FY14), which is comparable to Benalec’s full-year net profit that year, which was RM7.12 million. http://www.theedgemarkets.com/my/article/benalec-md%E2%80%99s-remuneration-questioned

what brothers can get if either side win the legal case? Brothers should involve in other industries like construction, trading, developer and etc and let go instead suing here and there causing public to suffer. Please do more good deeds for your next generation and pain when in hell. All this happen is because past karma.
rizerlee: None of the Ultra Harmony stages (RM235m/128.52 acres) has been booked as yet.
I believe they will either be booking both stages 1 and 2 (out of 4) for the upcoming quarterly results (Q3 - ending March) or in the next quarter (Q4 - ending June).
Not sure how good this upcoming quarter's results will be. Pretty sure it will be profitable though. Since the Ultra Green/Boon Siew (RM203m) reclamation job started in early February, they'll likely have pushed things as much as possible since it's a progress payment job and the first payment would have been pretty decent.
Not sure accounting wise if it can be booked on a month to month basis (assuming it is a monthly billing cycle), but I am assuming it is since other construction jobs follow the same accounting principles as far as I know.
Surprised at the results, and very disappointed overall. I was expecting this to be a profitable or breakeven quarter at the very least.
Key points (from my perspective):
1) Admin and other expenses was RM14.742m (compared to RM7.049m in the last quarter) A little confusing to understand this, but from the notes to the account for 16.1 (3), it states that this increase was mainly due to "loss on unrealised forex recognised in current year to-date (Q3'15: RM8.2m; Q3'14: RM4.0m).
I wish they would break this category down further. It would be nice to see what are actual admin expenses and what are financial expenses.
2) The disposal to Faithview Supreme Development Sdn Bhd (RM51.47m / 29.54 acres) did not happen in this quarter as was expected. The notes to the account for last quarter stated that the disposal was expected to be completed within 1QCY15.
The notes now stat that completion is expected within 2QCY15.
Am disheartened at this delay. With this transaction, the quarter would not have shown a loss.
3) Ultra Harmony Development Sdn Bhd status (128.52 acres / RM235.13m) None of the phases have been booked as revenue as yet as expected.
Was somewhat surprised that reclamation has not been fully completed as yet (even though they are still ahead of schedule).
LPD: Feb 4. 84 acres (65.4%) LPD: May 18. 108.98 acres (84.8%)
In 72 days they have reclaimed from 84 acres (65.4%) to 108.98 acres (84.8%) as at 18 May 2015. That works out to about 3 days to reclaim 1 acre. This means they should have fully completed reclamation works by the time Q4FY15 results are out.
Am still expecting them to book revenues for phase 1 and 2 at the same time (roughly half the contract, RM117m) in Q4FY15. But with the disappointing surprise of Faithview Supreme not being booked in this quarter as expected, I would be wary of further surprise delays
As a reference though, in the original EGM circular (10 June 2014), the estimated time frame of completion was:
May 2015 - phase 1 Oct 2015 - phase 2 Feb 2016 - phase 3 July 2016 - phase 4
The latest notes to the account state that they expect completion in 1QCY16, meaning phase 4 by Mar 2016.
No changes to the expected completion dates for the other land sales announced. Was also mildly disappointed that the Ultra Green/Boon Siew contract (RM203m cash/415 acres) did not merit much of a mention to the notes to the account. It would have been nice to know how far along the job is progressing.
Also, no further elaboration regarding the Sentosacove Sdn Bhd suit with regards to what kind of reliefs are being sought. This probably means it is not a suit for damages but specific performance.
Also, a reminder. The term sheet with 1MY Strategic Oil Terminal Sdn Bhd expires on 11 June 2015. I fully expect that it will not be renewed any further. Whilst realistically, I feel this does not mean anything (there are other potential offtakers to speak to), you might expect a knee-jerk reaction from the market by those who have no clue.

The infamous quotes by king of spinner - "FULLY invested in mr ben & this is an Extra Long term stock" Currently share price continues going down to abyss. didn't I warned you all about mr ben !
Helena, the king of spinner is just trying to save his/her face justify his/her case on mr ben unashamedly. this company already doomed long time ago ever since the company scandal became public knowledge.
Posted by Helena > May 26, 2015 09:56 AM | Report Abuse Thanks taciturn .. hater gonna hate but i feel what you did is COOL ~ hope to give you moral support before haters come bombarding .. haha
K-man always appear and tok kok when Ben is knocked down to make money in stock investing , one has to buy low and sell hug so, in a way, presense of K-man can be taken as a buy signal
share can go down as well as well as up in a cyclical manner some gained from the up trend and some lost on the down trend it's a matter of timing, apart from the fundamental side. From your words of sour grapes, I guess you only have taken the downside of Ben. Grow up man, don't cry like boy when the going gets ugly
Ben may stay low for coming 3 months(barring any positive news) and that presents opportunity to buy on weakness. Investors who believe in Tg Pial should stay on the sideline and be ready when opportunity presents itself
good try dude. continue hoping for miracle. my last visit this forum more than 1.5 months. things haven't improve but getting worse and now company making losses. and you seem very happy with the Q1 results. further more, you still looking forward for "opportunity presents itself". oh my. the crying boy is you.
kukubird still sobbing over losses? been such a long time... This is the time we want in again... release at a higher price... doesn't have to be 1.20 you dong...
I seem very happy with the Q1 results? K-man , you do seem to leap too far in reading my posting, or is that your standard way of misquoting others, so that you can win your arguement?
By the way, for someone who have disposed Ben at 80-82 cts ( well ,missed the recent peak, and secondary peak on first rebound) , I do stand to gain from the current price movement, so I have every reason to be happy. But, I always wish others well and won't redicule people for investing in Ben, that is what I am, a life contented man. If you think I only made up this story go read my previous posting on 16/4 , 9.07am I may be looking for a re-entry point, but I will not conderm Ben hoping some will buy my posting and sell down Ben and so that I can buy even lower.
Anyway, I do not think any of the postings here matter to the wider investing public out there, I will not overestimate myself
So K-man, it is also about timing. Do not grumble, curse, conderm Ben like an emotionally disturbed if you did not manage to grape the ' sour grapes '
Hugh Quarterly loss. is it same case again. Directors get hugh remuneration again this Q? Why Happy* & turn* challenge all directors to cut their remuneration? May be Happy* and Turn* are the directors... just guessing.... They are killing the company slowly..
speakup, land reclamation business is very lumpy in nature. Sales partially completed will not be registered as profit in the reporting quarter, and so profit will not be consistent from Q to Q, with some Q reporting low profit or even loss to be possibly followed by good profit in the subsequent Q when proft of current sales is registered ,and this is what presents trading opportunities
Due to the nature of its business, its accounting statements need some effort to understand. Can someone kindly enlighten me on the following 2 items in its Statement of Financial Position for 31.03.2015:
1) Trade and other receivables - increased by RM337m to RM737m from RM399m as of 30.06.2014
Due to its nature of business, its accounting statements need some effort to understand. Can someone kindly enlighten me on the following item in its Statement of Financial Position for 31.03.2015:
Trade and other receivables- increased by RM337m to RM737mfrom RM399 as of30.06.2014. Logically,an increase of this nature is due to sales concluded, booked but payment not yet collected. But in that 9 months, Benalec only had a revenue of RM121m.
ykloh: You've got that correct, I believe. I prefer to compare the figures between 2QFY15 and 3QFY15.
Trade and other receivables went from RM380.6m to RM737.2m.
As any increase in Assets must have a corresponding increase in the Equites and Liabilities section, Deferred revenue (under Current liabilities) also increased from RM130.8m to RM533.6m.
There's also a slight mismatch between those figures as at the same time "Land reclamation WIP" has also increased under current assets.
Bear in mind that both these entries are designated "current". Meaning that payment is expected within a 12 month period.
Revenue for the 9 month period has been RM121m because of the lumpy accounting nature again.
Accounting wise, the auditors do not want to recognise any form of progress payment.as per the Jadex Land/ Arena Progresif land sales. I.e. even though 10% is paid on signing of SPA, 20% within 6 months of that, 30% within 9 months of that etc, the money is banked in but it is not booked as revenue.
In that situation, whenever a progress payment is made, in the balance sheet, cash increases, trade receivables decreases. Deferred revenue still stays the same.
It is only when the final payment is _made_ (not billed, but made) that 100% of the SPA is booked from deferred revenue to revenue.
Cash flow wise, those deals make some sense. Accounting wise, they do not. Unfortunately, that is something that is out of Benalec's control since it is up to the auditors based on their own auditing standards.
The only exception for the big land deals that have been announced is Ultra Harmony. As the SPA itself split it up into 4 phases, when a payment is made for a particular phase (again, payment made, not just the client being billed), then that phase is booked in full as revenue.
