All of you are ardent followers of BCB. Haven't you heard that management/BOD especially the young Tans are more into flashy cars with number plates " 1" . I wonder whether the company is paying for these expensive cars especially the unnecessary/wasteful number plate. If you want to stay with the company, make the effort to attend the next AGM and grill the management/BOD. Otherwise, don't waste your time here.
PETALING JAYA: A combination of pent-up demand, improved buyer sentiment and overall business environment is expected to spur the local property market to its “next market high” in 2018.
As reported in The Star today. Does it mean that the next peak is in 2018 and therefore should start buying now ?
Let's be objective , it is not right to call outright buy or sell. To help each other, post all info, whether positives or negatives. But it must be based on facts, not emotion . Everyone is entitled to own opinion . But I do agree that any abuse by company / management / BOD should not be tolerated . Also agree that we walk the talk, attend all AGMs to protect your investment.
http://www.malaysiastock.biz/Report-Analysis/Continuously-Improvement-EPS-KLSE-Stock.aspx Although BCB ranked third in the chart for 3 Years Continuously Improvement in Revenue & Profit (2012,2013,2014) and it is likely to register another record profit for FY ending 30 June 2015, it is just too bad that does not fall under any research house's radar and hence its share price has not been reflective of its profit growth YTD.......
Things are improving. First dividend of 3 sen last year. Here is a summary of some major GDV as per the Annual Report : Bandar Putera Indah, Batu Pahat : 1.1 billion ( 390 acres, launched 10 % ) Medini Iskandar Malaysia : 1.2 billion ( small units soft launch ) Concerto Mont Kiara : 560 million ( completing this year, 70% sold ?) Home Tree, Kota Kemuning : 1.8 billion ( soft launch 2nd phase of bungalows )
Total GDV 4.66 billion for a small company with 200 million market capitalization ie GDV/Market capitalization of more than 23 times is quite impressive.
To a certain extent, I do agree that BCB may lack dynamic leadership and management as well as lacking in corporate expertise. I do noticed that there are a number of young family members holding key positions. In total there are 5 family members out of a total of 9 board members.
What is lacking may not be leadership in all areas as the results proved that the company is doing well ; but maybe in areas of corporate finance/investors communication.
The primary goal of corporate finance is to maximize or increase shareholder value.
Graham Net Net strategy : I am still learning from the Old School Value website and waiting for expertise guidance from KCChong. Here is the preliminary calculation based on latest results.
Current Assets 950.279 mil Current Liabilites 473,660 mil Long term borrowings 180,627
If I based on Graham's NCAV ( Net Current Asset Value ), the results as follows : CA-CL-LT = 295,992 divide by shares outstanding 206.250 million equals RM 1.435 per share. Graham's criteria to buy if share price is 2/3 of this value, that means the figure is 2/3x1.435 equals 95.6 sen.
If I based on Graham's NNWC ( Net Net Working Capital ), the results as follows : Cash + Short term investments + ( 0.75xTrade Debts) + ( 0.5xStocks) - Total liabilities, equals RM 1.156 per share. The question I sought clarification from KCChong is whether do you mark down "Property Development Costs" classed under Current Assets.
Phew, a lot to learn, just some contribution since everyone is looking for cherries :) still learning.
Please feel free to correct my understanding or misunderstanding.
Posted by mahorse > May 28, 2015 10:32 AM | Report Abuse Dear KC, in the case of property stocks, do you mark down "Property Development Costs" which is classified under Current Assets. Thank you.
All depend if the property development can sell well or not. If it can, then it may even worth more than its book value; otherwise it may not worth much at all.
i don't quite understand..that means everyone can buy whatever price below rm1 and after that accept the offer to sell at rm1? anyone here please enlighten me
Minority shareholders get screwed on a regular basis on Bursa. And this is one prime example. If you noticed, profit have been on increasing trend the last few years and 4 major projects are running concurrently viz Home Tree, Concerto, Medini and all the housing projects in Batu Pahat and Kluang. In Batu Pahat, you have one of the 5 HSR stations to be located here. The major shareholders are very very smart and they think minority investors are very very stupid. Are you ?
Can reject but higher price is up to the offeror. The independent adviser will say whether the price is reasonable or not. Personally, I think it is a no brainer advice that it is not fair and unreasonable.
According to the announcement, if less than 50% of remaining shareholders do not accept the offer, the mandatory GO will be called off. Looks like minority shareholders are caught i.e. if offer is rejected, BCB becomes more illiquid to trade. If offer is accepted, they are shortchanged. Minority Shareholders Watchdog Group should raise the red flag!
Sorry, correction : Note 4.2 of the announcement says "If the offeror failed to own more than 50% of BCB shares (including shares that had already been held) at the closing date of the offer, the GO will be called off and monies will be returned to shareholders who had accepted the GO."
The so called independent directors have said no other alternative bidders will be sought to make take over offer. I am extremely curious how and why they have arrived at this quick decision !!!!
Loyal shareholders who have been holding for years ought to write to the company and ask the independent directors why they are so efficient and prompt in deciding not to seek other offers. That means they already decided that this is a fair offer ? Do they have vested interests ? Are they subservient to the major shareholders or are they truly independent ?
Left & right minorities are screwed. Major shareholders can easily manipulate the share price to prevent it from rising above GO price of RM1.00. So illiquid.
Look at their facebook, so much activity lately. Now asking for registration for Home Tree shoplots at Kota Kemuning etc. What is the logic of low GO price ?
If BCB remains listed, now the offer price is 1.00, which means it worth at least 1.00, people will not sell at less than 1.00, therefore, the price would tend to go up (as seen in the past few days after the announcement). Isn't this a blessing in disguise? Like IPO, that's what I mean.
Judge for yourself whether GO of RM1.00 is fair. These are my earlier posts :

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 RM100 million worth of properties have been sold. 06/01/2015 08:23
