a) E vergreen Heights, Batu Pahat This 400 acres mixed development township is located 8km south of Batu Pahat town centre. It is located next to the 18-hole Bukit Banang Golf and Country Club and is distinct as it emphasizes quality living set amidst natural surroundings. Its development is architecturally attractive with beautifully landscaped terrain. There is also a 12 acre park and lake To date, over 3,000 units have been sold for a total sales value of about RM1.0 billion.
This township is currently 80% developed with another 100 acres of undeveloped land.
We are confident that future launches and sales at this township will continue to appeal and attract strong demand given the wide range of amenities, facilities and infrastructure already put in place or due to be put in place in the next few years
b) Bandar Putera Indah, Batu Pahat This 390 acre mixed development township is located in the vicinity of Tongkang Pecah, about 11km north-east of Batu Pahat town centre. This entire project will have a GDV of about RM1.1 billion. The concept here emphasizes quality living set amidst natural surroundings with architecturally attractive designs and beautifully landscaped terrain. Since its maiden launching in 2011, the take-up rate has been very encouraging with phase 1 encompassing 20 acres of land fully sold. These 20 acres of land is currently in advance stages of completion. In July 2012, Phase 2 was launched and again the take-up rate was encouraging. To-date about 85% of the 400 units has been sold. We will be rolling out more new phases in the next few months. We are confident of this township’s future contribution to the Group’s earnings.
BCB is therefore very much undervalued premised on its Batu Pahat land bank alone.
Owner now controlled about 44 %, If owner gets more than 90% of the balance 56 % , then owner, by law will have the right to take over the balance shares that did not accept his offer at the offer price of rm1.00.
Otherwise, the listing status of the company remains as it is. The owner have further stated that they wish to retain the listing status.
Even if owner gets more than 90% of the balance, the intention is to retain listing status. Therefore, he will place out some shares to comply with Bursa requirement.
Let's say after the exercise , the controlling shareholders owned 80%. Bursa requires them to sell to below 75% . The owners could either sell the excess above 75% to the market or arrange to place out ( sell via off market) to non related parties.
The shares in our hand will remain if we not accept the offer? I dont want to sell now at this current price or offer price of RM1. Can I still keep my shares?
Have you been to the Eco World/ Tropicana land at Kota Kemuning ? Have a good look and then drive along the road where BCB land is located . And decide which is better. Remember the whole stretch of the BCB land is fronting the Klang River .
Banking system still flushed with liquidity. Quite a number of research houses expecting a pick up in property sector soon. AmInvestment just called overweight on this sector.
Holders should note that the Offer culminates from the Offeror increasing its shareholding to over 33% in BCB. The additional investment by the Offeror in BCB reflects the Offeror’s confidence and commitment in the growth potential of BCB. Overall, the Offer culminates from the Offeror strengthening its shareholding in BCB. It reflects the Offeror’s confidence in the Company given its positive prospect. The Offeror’s intention to maintain the listing status and to not invoke the relevant Sections of the CMSA on compulsory acquisition will allow the shareholders of BCB to exit and realise their investments in BCB in the future. Premised on the above, we are of the view the Offer is not reasonable.
Overview and prospects of BCB
Despite the cooling measures initiated by the Malaysian Government and Bank Negara Malaysia such as increasing the Real Property Gains Tax Act, 1976 and tightening bank lending regulations to curb speculative activities in the property market and the recent weak market sentiment as a result of slumping global crude oil prices, the Board is optimistic of the Group's performance for the FYE 30 June 2015, mainly backed by contributions of its two (2) main Klang Valley projects:-
(i) Concerto North Kiara in Kuala Lumpur (“Concerto”): A high-end condominium project consisting of three (3) tower blocks with a total of 440 units and bearing a total GDV of approximately RM575 million. It is earmarked for completion in year 2015. To date, the Group received encouraging response from the launching of all three (3) towers with the take up rate of approximately 66% and the revenue recorded of more than RM380 million.
(ii) Home Tree in the vicinity of Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam, Selangor (“Home Tree”): This development on 151 acres of land will comprise more than 400 units of high-end bungalows and a similar number of commercial units bearing a total GDV of approximately at least RM1.8 billion. It is earmarked for completion estimated in five (5) years. To date, the Group received encouraging response from the launching of phase 1 with the take up rate of approximately 92% and the revenue recorded of more than RM260 million.
BCB had, on 7 January 2015 announced the completion of an acquisition of seven (7) contiguous parcels of residential development land located within Zone A, Medini Iskandar, Mukim of Pulai, District of Johor Bahru, State of Johor Darul Takzim with GDV of approximately RM1.20 billion. The said acquisition is expected to contribute positively to the BCB Group’s performance
Medini is a Special Economic Zone whereby developers are exempted from Corporate Tax. To get the tax exemption, a developer has to be given an “Approved Developers Status” by Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), in which BCB has in place already. To date, 10% of Phase 1 of the Medini project has been sold.
In addition to Medini, BCB is the largest developer in both Batu Pahat and Kluang. Batu Pahat and Kluang are the second and third largest towns in Johor after Johor Bahru. In Batu Pahat, BCB holds approximately 60% of the market share via our 3 big townships, namely, Taman Bukit Perdana, Evergreen Heights and Bandar Putera Indah. Besides that, BCB is also the owner of the biggest hotel in Kluang called Prime City Hotel as well as the Kluang Parade.
