Without this impairment losses, PAT could be RM800million.

In fact BjCorp have also included Net impairment losses on investment in associated companies of RM102 million; which have mitigate bad result to be reported on Q4-24.

However, which Associated Companies have incurred such high impairment, can anybody enlighten ?

He says Berjaya Construction will not only carry out construction works for internal projects from Berjaya Group, but will start bidding for external projects such as the flood mitigation packages.

BLand has set a sales target of RM580 million for 2024, almost double that of 2023.

“We will be more active in property development this year. We have been holding back for three years due to the pandemic, even though we did not stop,” says Syed Ali.

BjCorp share holding of SIAMH is of 520mil, at SGD0.23 book value, 3.5:1 forex.
Almost RM420mil worth.
Higher than Redtone.

BjCorp will not re-value their shares in Redtone, unless they dispose off Redtone.
However, BjCorp will re-value their shares in SIAM-holding after it's listing at SGX.
In 2022, BjCorp stated that re-valuation would have gain of RM192mil, based on SGD:RM of 3.2, now it should be much better.

Boycott will not ended, until the war is over.

The last batch of disposal of 30,771,580 shares were by Bj Sompo Insurance.
This could be an indication, which BjCorp prepare to dispose off Bj Sompo.

Of course SBB can not reach 500 mil, as presently public holding is 22%, about 100mil, could be SBB, to reach 80% threshold.

Bjland treasury shares at 30-09-23 is of 79,837,104.
Max 10% is 500,000,000 shares to SBB.

Today start SBB of 8,000,000. Still have 400,000,000 to go.

Believe the group strategy is to dispose off those old and non-5 star hotels, and switch to 5-stars hotels like those hotels at Iceland and Japan.

The Sheraton Hotel at Hanoi Vietnam is 5-star, not sure if they like to keep it.

1. Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Beach Resort Limited
2. Berjaya Praslin Resort – Seychelles
3. Berjaya Hotel Colombo – Sri Lanka
4. Berjaya Makati Hotel, Makati – Philippines
5. Sheraton Hanoi Hotel, Hanoi – Vietnam
6. Berjaya Eden Park London Hotel – United Kingdom

The above 6 hotels were planned to dispose off, for RM1.2Bil to pare down debts.

In addition, the Group recorded a gain on disposal of The Castleton hotel operations in the UK,
amounting to RM12.44 million, as disclosed in Note A3.

Sale of a foreign hotel business operations RM64,423,000.00

On behalf of the Board of Directors of BCorporation, Mercury Securities Sdn Bhd is pleased to announce that PrimePartners Corporate Finance Pte. Ltd., being the Sponsor and Issue Manager for the Proposed Listing had on 23 November 2023, lodged the preliminary Offer Document of SIAMH in connection with the Proposed Listing with the SGX-ST, acting as agent on behalf of the Monetary Authority of Singapore.



This Announcement is dated 24 November 2023.

BjCorp now hold 147mil Salcon.

Good progress for Section 6 open on 21-11-23, one step forward.
Anyway, loss on this Qtr result is expected.
Until full opening of all sections, company will suffer losses.
Aim to make profit by year 2026.

Nevertheless, present public spread of BjLand at 21% (about 1.05Bil shares), is not liquidate enough.
Believe that BjLand is seeking investors to raise more funds for those Mega projects.
If buying from BjLand is not able to support them for new fund raising, the best way is raising private placement of at least RM1.0Bil, however, the share price got to push up to RM1.00 in order for BjLand to sell their new share.

With the disposal of STM and HR Owen, BjLand will be 100% Property and Hotel business.
From there, BjLand can raise more fund to focus on all their Hotels and properties works.
This shall be the master plan of BjLand and BjCorp group moving forward.

Inline with BjCorp plan to become Financial Sector, there is intention to dispose SPToto.
With this disposal in place, BjLand could benefit from the disposal of :
1. 100% equity of HR Owen to BjCorp group, worth RM1.0B; BjLand portion is RM0.4B,
2. 100% equity of STM to external party, worth RM4.0B; BjLand portion is RM1.6B,
3. Total fund raise of RM2.0B, could easily pare down BjLand debts to RM1.0B

At present, BjLand has RM3.5B debts, add RM1.6B loan to debts of RM5.1B.
The Debts to Equity ratio may not be 85%, as Okinawa Hotel value shall be added in too.
At present, BjLand equity is RM6.0B, with Okinawa value of RM1.6B, equity is RM7.6B.
Therefore, Debts to Equity ratio is RM5.1B / RM7.6B = 67%.

For Okinawa Hotel fund raising, as USD330 million raised at this junction, which proven that BjLand financial position was healthy to accept the additional loan.

@simon2020, beside Redtone, BjCorp also sold 77.3 million of BjFood shares, for RM50mil,
and sold 30,77 million of BjLand shares.
However, this is the moment for BjLand and BjCorp to raise up after several years of down side.
I do believe that to hold on BjCorp and BjLand should be the most appropriate move instead of dispose of shares, to follow BjCorp movement.
As their transactions are via direct transaction, could be passing those shares to their syndicate parties; prepare for "goreng" upon group release of more good news.

With Mega projects in Japan and Malaysia, BjLand shall be able to attract new players from oversea to buy in BjLand stake.

@simon2020, I have no specific intel to judge how could BjLand run their Mega projects via continuous bank borrowings.
Anyway, Yokohama Hotel financing shall be under BjCorp. BjLand shall only be main contractor for the building works.

BLand future profit must come from the Property division, as the other 3 arms have been giving good results and recover from losses after pendamic period.

In fact, BLand have taken their entitlement of profits, on FY-23 dividend from Hotel Kyoto, first RM100mil paid at Q2-FY23, second RM104mil paid at Q4-FY23.
These two distributions have kept BLand stay positive even with the impairment losses of -RM99mil from GMOC at Q4-FY23.

BLand have established a subsidiary in Japan to undertake the main building works.
Via this company, the work in progress could become work revenue, under property division for the next 4 years. This could boost the revenue of Property division, as it has been under performance for the past 5 years, of RM300mil per year the most.
If Hotel Okinawa is progressing as well as their planning, it will give RM1.5 bil per year;
If Hotel Yokohama also take-off as planned, another RM1.5 bil of revenue recorded.
Even Hotel Yokohama owner is BCorp, however the construction revenue is under BLand as they are the main contractor who carry out the works.

Hotel Okinawa ground breaking was on Nov-2020, 3 years only completed civil foundation work.
I believe the main reason for the slow progress shall be MCO at Japan, second reason should be securing bank loan for the main building works.
As said, GDV was USD1.2 Bil, with the loan of USD330 million, how to complete the work without further borrowings?

BLand property division will load with plenty of works:
1. Hotel at Okinawa, RM6bil, in 4 years
2. Hotel at Yokohama, RM6bil, in 4 years
3. Sg Besi works, GDV RM8bil, (based on former report), in 10 years
4. Work with Landasan Lumayan Berjaya JV, GDV RM8bil, in 10 years.
5. Work at Times Square Condo, GDV RM600mil, in 4 years
6. Dev at Penang, Bkt Jalil, Shah Alam, and SRKU, GDV RM1bil, in 4 years.

@simon2020
Secured a USD300million, RM11.6bil loan, does not means immediate borrowing will up RM1.6bil. Borrowing will pick up while they draw-down from bank during the hotel construction period.

Anyway, the recovery of RM650mil, which Bland portion of RM330mil, is no more great news as compare to the won case of STC relocation and development of Okinawa Hotel, the development of Yokohama Hotel is under BCorp, not BLand.
Plus the development of SRKU scheme and River side scheme under LLBSB.
These will be the potential movement of BLand going forward.
