Megan88 please go to other counter and comment. This counter only for investor in Bakarah. Stranger no well come. Guard kick her out please... Hahahaha
Thanks for sharing this news CY. Just to highlight here...
Barakah shares recently sold by Nik Hamdan were absorbed in the open market. “This was forced selling by Kenanga [Investment Bank] — a small amount [of shares] every time so that the market can absorb. It was not by choice, [but] because of his margin position with Kenanga, and we don’t know at what level his margin would be settled, because that is his personal dealings.”
Those that are selling are Ex Directors. For a start I welcome the Management decision to change the CEO. That's the 1st rule of thumb. Next is to get rid all those dead meat. We need new breed that are hungry for business and as reported it is being executed as we speak.
Future business
Barakah’s order book stands at about RM600 million, consisting of five production-sharing contracts and repair and maintenance works for the Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline. Barakah has secured MCM (maintenance, construction and modification works for structures and facilities for the client’s oil and gas fields) from 5 different companies for the years 2018 to 2023. 1. Hess 2. Enquest 3. Petrofac 4. IPC (formerly Lundin) 5. Sapura
Apart from restructuring debts, which involves some RM335.6 million, Barakah is also looking for various ways to strengthen the group’s earnings.
Barakah signs MoU with Vallianz
Barakah inked a two-year MoU with Singapore Catalist Board-listed Vallianz Holdings Ltd yesterday for a strategic alliance for both parties to explore business opportunities in Malaysia and the Middle East.
Vallianz serves oil majors and national oil companies worldwide, and focuses on supporting customers’ offshore oil and gas exploration and production operations. It owns and operates a fleet of 76 offshore support vessels and covers markets in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Vallianz is 57.67%-owned by Rawabi Holding Company Ltd, a Saudi company established in 1980.
Vallianz and Barakah said by joining forces, both parties are able to leverage on each other’s strengths to expand their scope of services, technical capabilities and geographical reach along the oil and gas value chain.
Under the MoU, Barakah will offer its engineering and operational capabilities to support Vallianz’s existing and future projects.
Barakah said this includes technical consultation, feasibility studies, front-end engineering design and project engineering services, among others.
It said the project scope also covers future co-tender arrangements for offshore projects which are deemed suitable by both parties.
All these are positive news vs one tag PN17 news.
Honestly for a price tag of 0.07 per share, this is peanuts compare to what I paid earlier. Hence I plan to HOLD and like I said earlier if the price is right, I will accumulate more..
Thanks for all your comments. I have now to put these thinking into perspective so that you all can make your own decision when the trading starts tomorrow.
Strength
1. Barakah’s order book stands at about RM600 million, consisting of five production-sharing contracts and repair and maintenance works for the Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline. 2. Barakah has secured MCM (maintenance, construction and modification works for structures and facilities for the client’s oil and gas fields) from 5 different companies for the years 2018 to 2023. They are 1. Hess 2. Enquest 3. Petrofac 4. IPC (formerly Lundin) 5. Sapura 3. Two very good backers — the white knight and the creditors
Opportunities
1. Barakah inked a two-year MoU with Singapore Catalist Board-listed Vallianz Holdings Ltd yesterday for a strategic alliance for both parties to explore business opportunities in Malaysia and the Middle East. Vallianz serves oil majors and national oil companies worldwide, and focuses on supporting customers’ offshore oil and gas exploration and production operations. It owns and operates a fleet of 76 offshore support vessels and covers markets in the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Vallianz is 57.67%-owned by Rawabi Holding Company Ltd, a Saudi company established in 1980. 2. Barakah) has entered into a heads of agreement with Minsheng Financial Leasing Co Ltd to form a strategic partnership to explore areas of collaboration in relation to oil and gas (O&G) projects under the latter’s portfolio. With an asset size of over US$26bil as of end-2017, Minsheng is one of China’s biggest financial leasing companies with a wide portfolio covering aircraft, ships, marine engineering equipment, logistics, energy equipment, energy saving, environmental protection, medical equipment, vehicles and construction machinery. 3. Brent is up to USD 73..today and it’s on the upwards trends
Weakness
1. Restructuring debts which involves some RM335.6 million. 2. Barakah shares recently sold by Nik Hamdan were absorbed in the open market. “This was forced selling by Kenanga [Investment Bank] — a small amount [of shares] every time so that the market can absorb. It was not by choice, [but] because of his margin position with Kenanga, and we don’t know at what level his margin would be settled, because that is his personal dealings.”
Threats
1. Low shareholder's funds/equity (not making $) 2. Materials uncertainty stated in FY17 (which has not improved as of FY18Q4) - MIGHT insufficient $ to repay debt. 3. KL101 (subsidiary) defaulted on installments. Kota Laksamana 101 Ltd (KL101), has defaulted on its instalment payments to the Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd (Exim Bank).
Implication to all of us
IF the news on white knight (capital injection) and collaboration with Min Sheng are true/real then the above threats should be solved.
The company is working on its debt restructuring scheme which they fairly confident can get their larger creditors' support. 75 creditors is said to agree with restructure plan
Those that are selling are Ex Directors. For a start I welcome the Management decision to change the CEO. That's the 1st rule of thumb. Next is to get rid all those dead meat. We need new breed that are hungry for business and as reported it is being executed as we speak.This work will take at least 6 months
Summing up
Based on the above analysis, I'm more inclined to HOLD until I see the official Q1 Report.
Please feel free to add/edit so that we can fine tune this analysis even further so that everyone is on the same page to make this turnaround another success story.
All those information are based on the press release that was shared by the team. That's why I'm more incline to HOLD until I see the official Q1 Report.
Likewise it could work both ways. Opportunity and threats are just like double swords. it's all about timing..
After taking into consideration the Group’s current cash flow position vis-à-vis its total debt obligations payable and available cashflow, the Company is unable to declare that it is solvent pursuant to Paragraph 9.19A(4) of the Listing Requirements.
In arriving at the above, the Board has considered and assessed the financial position and consolidated projected cash flow of Barakah and formed the opinion that Barakah will not be able to service all its debts as and when they fall due in the next 12 months in its entirety.
when a company projected cash flow cannot service its debt, this is a biggest problem. the white knight story is a trap for directors to dispose their shares
the risk is too high to take, do make wise decision to avoid further losses
