sometimes we were misled by the bull chart....many were trapped for years in this counter...all the times loosing n can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.....n all the talk about take over may not be the truth later....
Few days ago I paid a visit to G Residence. Piling work is in full progress. Sales a little slow. Over a longer term I think GSB should be able to sell off all its units. Hope its cash can outlast the projects.
Anyway thank you for highlighting it to me. I made some good money in GSB
Calvin, gsb shod have good run this yr. pay attention to it. Don't know whether u read articles in gsb post? They have so many projects in hand, any one come out will be home run. I expect it can go above 0.15 this yr at least.in hot chick Andrea I love. Just like Winnie in L &G
GSB Group Bhd expects its new property business will contribute almost all of the group’s profits for the 2015 financial year, and take the company back into the black.
GSB MD Andrea Gan Pik Mui said the company’s diversification into property is part of the strategy to bring back profitability and sees the property division overtaking its traditional core optical disk business in contributions to the bottom line.
She said the group has RM291.5 million of new projects in its orderbook, comprising commercial and residential property developments.
“We have a RM55.3 million residential project on 2.42ha in Klang, a RM133 million mixed development in Seksyen 15, Shah Alam and a RM103.2 million commercial project in Kelana Jaya. We also have ongoing projects in Bentong and Johor Baru worth RM572.83 million, making the total gross development value (GDV) of our ongoing and future projects RM864.33 million.
“We see the property business overtaking the optical disk business for this financial year and turning the company back to black. GSB is already making profits at the moment,” said Gan.
Last Friday, GSB received shareholders approval for the proposed acquisition of two plots of land measuring 0.9ha in Shah Alam for RM20.5 million from PKNS Engineering and Construction Bhd.
The acquisition will also include the development orders granted to the land.
“The acquisition should be completed within the third-quarter of this year (3Q15) and the layout would comprise of 359 units of service apartments and retail lots at the bottom.
“The total GDV has not been finalised but as for now it is RM133 million. We foresee the launch to be in 1H15 and expect it to be completed within four years,” she said.
Gan said its optical disk manufacturing business has not been making profit due to technological changes that have reduced the demand for the product.
“Nonetheless, we are still carrying on with the manufacturing of optical disks,” said Gan.
On the outlook for the property market, Gan said its projects in Bentong and the Klang Valley have been performing well, despite a slight slowdown in its project in Johor.
“Bentong is a mature township and our development is located in a strategic position.
We have also built a strong brand there.
“As for the project in Johor, there is an oversupply in the market but our project is not too affected as we are focused on the end users and is targeted towards the middle-income market,” said Gan.
Gan said GSB is looking for further opportunities in its property business, and at the possibility of a joint venture to reduce its initial cash outlay.
For March 31, 2014, GSB recorded a total revenue of RM11.73 million, of which RM8.03 million came from its optical disk business, while the remaining RM3.7 million came from its property business.
The optical disk business recorded a loss of RM0.87 million for the financial period while the property business recorded a loss of RM0.5 million, making the total loss to RM1.37 million.
Steven, you are enamoured with Andrea. Yes, I know GSB has other projects. Watch how G Residence Sales First. It will be tough but given its location it should stand a good chance.
This is actually a tough year. So we should set our sight lower. If we can beat inflation we should be OK. Anything above that would be a bonus this year.
