From the volume, buy and sell queue looks like it will break R1 23.5c anytime soon. Strong buy queue at 22.0c on last Friday, however there is also big selling queue north of share price. Probably operators are yet to be done with accumulation.
With regards to LSS4, the management may have anticipated the cut throat bidding price and the return may not be lucrative as previous LSS award. Hence, it could be wise to stay out from putting a bid and focus on completing their solar asset in Perak. Besides, they have also registered for NEM 3.0, which will open up for more income from solar. Coral Power (70% Minetech subsidiary), won the LSS2 award, and the rate is almost double than LSS4. For information, LSS1 (for up to 10MWac) have seen an average price range of above 40c/kWh, LSS2, at 40c/kWh, LSS3 at below 30c/kWh, and LSS4 at below 24c/kWh.
Based on announcement from Ocean Vantage Holdings (OVH), subcontractor for Andeli Solar (main contractor for Minetec solar asset), they have completed MYR10mil out of MYR30mil award up to 31 Dec 2020. The remaining works may be completed within this quarter if not for MCO. Once operational, it would be recurring income for Minetec.
The recent Selinsing, Pahang gold mining site 3-year contract extension (MYR70mil) is also another positive development for Minetec, as the average contract price is worth approximately MYR23mil/year. This is higher than the previous contract extension value <MYR18mil/year. It is understandable that during period, gold prices is at new high, hence the higher contract value award. This prolific gold mine site, which have been operating from 2009, will provide earning visibility until 2022 for Minetec, and probably beyond that.
Coupled with the wrap up of acquisition of fintech company, Uniqa, Minetec would have another new source of income instead of their traditional expertise.
This is not a buy call, and it is up to your discretion to decide. I do not what future would be, but currently I am positive about the company prospect.
i. Uniqa (Fintec) business -> Profit of RM10.5mil / annum (60% attributable to Minetech equals RM6mil) ii. Selinsing Gold mine business -> Profit of RM0.3mil / annum iii. Perak 9.99MW solar farm -> Profit of RM1.9mil / annum iv. Bitumen business -> Profit of RM0.1mil / annum v. Civil Engineering business -> Profit of RM1.8mil / annum
Total current Minetech profit -> RM10.1mil / annum
PE of 30x = RM0.26/share
Factoring in Kazakhstan oil business, which will further add RM0.24/share to Minetech, Minetech should be worth at least RM0.50/share
Guys, have a read on their announcement yesterday. Looks interesting especially the diversification into solar and O&G. ICPS at 5sen on the basis of 1 for 2 also sounds good. Grateful if some experts can share their view on this corporate exercise for the benefit of existing/potential shareholders/investors. TIA
Topped up some more at 20sen to get the ICPS entitlement. Note that the capital reduction has no impact on share price or number of shares held by existing shareholders as explained in the details of the annoucement.
“The company’s proposed share capital reduction of RM90mil will see the
corresponding credit arising from this reduction being used to reduce or eliminate accumulated losses,” Minetech said in a statement.
The proposed share capital reduction will not result in any adjustment for the market price, however it enables the company to reward shareholders by dividend policy, it added.
Following the share capital reduction, Minetech has proposed a private placement and ICPS on the basis of one ICPS for every two existing Shares.
The proceeds of both proposed private placement and ICPS, will raise RM72.9mil to RM98mil, is intended for the development cost of a solar power
plant, funding for proposed diversification into oil and gas (O&G), future business investment and/or acquisitions, expenditure of construction projects, expansion of the quarry and bituminous products divisions as well as repayment of borrowings.
Executive chairman Pengiran Datuk Awang Daud Awang Putera said: “The proposed corporate exercise will assist us in improving our financial
performance in the next financial year while at the same time, helps us by raising capital for our diversification into renewable energy and O&G), which are viable businesses that continue to see growing demand. We believe both industries can potentially contribute 25% or more to our net profit”.

anson938, Thank you for posting. The proposed capital reduction is to clean up the balance sheet by removing the accumulated losses and it has no impact on share price. The PP and ICPS (ICPS at 5 sen is pretty small) is to fund the business expansion/diversification and this is surely good for the company in the long run (just like IPO raising funds for business expansion). It seems to be a positive corporate exercise.
