I thought it was Bursa's requirement to update on MOU ? I vaguely remember years ago when a number of PLCs abused the China play by having MOUs which eventually were called off. Bursa then came up with a requirement for the PLCs to update on these MOUs. Anyone know for certain on this matter ?
promised buyers where they have advanced technology to prevent water leakages, now like the whole block leakages, what a big joke by BCB. Don't ever trust them, and good luck for all shareholders before it is too late.
Icon8 - Aspen in fact are secret holdings of Low Eng Hock. Transaction between Aspen & Ivory in fact left pocket to right pocket. Yilai the victim, what a pity.
Water leakage comes from pipes or seepage to the floor below? Bad for reputation. But sub contractors will be responsible to rectify under defects liabilities period.
Where is the update on the Help MOU ? Or is it a publicity stunt ? I hope not. There should be rules to require listed property companies to update either quarterly or half yearly basis their launches and unbilled sales etc. This would investors to make better decisions. Matters of interest includes Home Tree Kota Kemuning, what are the launches and sales to date, Elysia Medini, is it really doing well ?, commercial units launches at Medini. And the comment by Vincent Tan of projects at Danga Bay. This is new, as there were no reports that BCB have land at Danga Bay.
Extracted from iproperty.com magazine issue 133 March 2016
"What are BCB Berhad's future plans in Iskandar Malaysia? In Danga Bay, BCB is planning to develop a 90-acre mixed development. Slated to be launched in 2018, the waterfront project will comprise of 5-storey shop lots, residential condominiums as well as a 5-star hotel carrying an international brand."
Focus Malaysia have a full page coverage on BCB today. Analyst said the 2 main pieces of land in Batu Pahat and Kota Kemuning will add RM 2.65 per share to its existing book value of RM 1.04 per share. That means, if revalued the full net value per share is RM 3.69.
BCB is upbeat that its projects in the Klang Valley as well as existing ones in Johor will contribute positively to its earnings. Tan explained that secondary towns such are seeing good growth, citing Batu Pahat as an example.
“Batu Pahat is an industrial-based town and a vibrant secondary town. It is not much affected by this crisis but has benefited from it. Industrial-based areas are export-orientated. Those exports benefit a lot from the exchange rate (weaker ringgit),” he said.
Batu Pahat contributes about RM100 million to sales of the group.
Johor The Group has 3 township projects in Batu Pahat collectively garnering about 65% share of the market. In addition, it is also the largest developer in Kluang. It has various on-going projects in Kluang and Johor Bahru.
a) Bandar Putera Indah This 390 acres township is an up-coming satellite suburb of Batu Pahat. The proposed high speed rail linking Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is expected to have a station nearby thereby increasing the township’s appeal. Double storey terrace houses are reasonably priced below RM500,000 per unit. Total GDV is about RM1.1 billion. To-date about RM120 million worth of properties have been sold.
The leading developer in Kluang and Batu Pahat area. Involved in 2 projects in Klang Valley located at Mon't Kiara and Kota Kemuning. Deeply undervalued.
Focus Malaysia had a full page coverage on BCB a while back. Analyst said the 2 main pieces of land in Batu Pahat and Kota Kemuning will add RM 2.65 per share to its book value.
The latest book value as at 30 September 2016 is RM 1.08 per share. That means, if revalued the full net value per share will be RM 3.73.
Revenue dropped but gross margin went up due to KL projects. Cumulative 6 months EPS at 3.24 sen vs 4.2 sen last year. I supposed low land cost as highlighted in the Focus article is one of the positive factors.
BCB Bhd is acquiring six adjoining plots of agriculture land, measuring a combined 18.91 hectares, in Batu Pahat, Johor, for RM34.6 million, on which it will develop a residential project with an estimated gross development value of RM360 million.
The property developer is buying the freehold plots from two Singaporeans, Wellington Tan and Shenton Tan Seng Koon, and 400 residential units comprising bungalows, semi-Ds and terrace houses will be built on the land.
The purchase will be funded via a combination of internal funds and borrowings.
"It is too preliminary at this stage to ascertain the total development cost and expected profits to be derived from the proposed development," said the group.
Anyone have any idea as to the total GDVs of the various projects ? Home Tree Kota Kemuning, Elysia Medini, Versiis commercial Batu Pahat , linked houses Batu Pahat , Medini shop lots and now this new Batu Pahat project , GDV 360 million. And also Concerto , Mont Kiara .
The problem is management does not talk to analysts and shareholders have to do own home work !
Let me attempt to summarise the potential GDVs based on the Annual Report, announcements to Bursa and press releases, over the next few days :
Here goes :
Versis Batu Pahat - press release The Edge Financial Daily | June 27, 2016 : 9:51 AM MYT
Aside from that, Tan also said the group will embark on the development of Versis@Batu Pahat, a 10-acre mixed development comprising 70 units of three- to five-storey shophouses and a commercial complex. The gross development value of the project is RM600 million.
“We have done the groundworks [for Versis] and the construction works should kick off by the third quarter,” he added.
Tan also said Batu Pahat is still seeing good growth as the local economy there has not been affected by the economic downturn so far.
“Batu Pahat is an industrial-based town and a vibrant secondary town. As the majority of the businesses there are export-oriented, they have benefited from the weaker ringgit,” he explained.
Batu Pahat - 400 units of bungalows, semi-Ds & terrace houses - potential GDV 360 million over 4 years.
