All of the private placements these few years are fully taken up by friendly parties of the directors. They were issued at rm1 per share when the share price was only 60+ sen. Means the owners were pumping in money into the company these few years. I wonder why? This year with the abolishing of par value private placements with b at a lower price below rm1.
I think none of the minority shareholders pump in any funds. They needed to start the potato chip lines fast so issue some 100m term notes. Initially i was a bit perplexed as they were trying to par down their debts. Suddently increase their debts again by issuing rhe term notes. Its looks reasonable now as the potato lines is turning in nice profits. Bottom line is if u feel there no future, you shd sell out now. But if there's something in future its a cheap share to own. Afterall if its a nicely run company, you have to fork out 4-5 rm then
Revenue can drop so much? Falling bridge, you made it, unbelievable. Unusual in this type of industry unless food poisoning or other significant events. No disclosure on significant changes and regulators failed to call themselves protecting minority.
Revenue drop is caused by kheesan. Kheesan is not an associate company anymore under bursa new rules. Implemented since last Q. Revenue actually is up.
Profit is going to b depressed going forward as kheesan Account cannot be consolidated. The large investment in kheesan is useless now unless kheesn can declare dividends which is unlikely considering its own horrible results. Selling down kheesan also not possible as they purchased it at about rm1.40. That would mean heavy realised losses. The only way forward is to improve on both kheesan n lonbisc operations. First to par down its debts. Nx to lower its cost of operations. Look for new markets and improve it's market share. Thats why they need more $$$.
Div per share = 0, obviously cash flow is a challenge Debt = very high and interest expenses very high, Hup Seng n Apollo = 0 Management quality = as reflected in the past few years results Best for speculation only.
Major SH does no worry about the dropping price as most probably people who owes the banks the most has more money. Magic show from left to right hands and vice versa, if true, may be authority is blind.
Hi Brain, only few lots in hand, will exit before right issues plan ex date. Looks like they are having difficulty to get buy in for private placement. Will see who is willing to be sucked, may be this round Kheesan's turn to invest in falling bridge, then merges the accounts to show a beautiful NTA. If you are in the BOD, will consider to buy then. If need financial controller, let me know too, I believe I can deliver at least the same results. Good luck.
Until now no movement in share price. That why , avoid the right issue and this share and its warrant. Not profitable at all. LonDon bridge is falling down to hell.
Good if the stock price plummeted too as market should penalize poor management. It is challenging for Hup Seng and Apollo to maintain their growth with beautiful balance sheet, so it is even more challenging for falling bridge which is struggling to get more financing from private placement. Unless it is a speculative play, it should down further. Some may argue high NTA it has, good luck.
Surprisingly still at this high support level even though it doesn't deserve it as past records is weak except good in asking more money through private placement.
With high debts compared to Appollo and Hup Seng, no way it could sustain under this competitive environment, potato chips business is just good for talks as numerous good brands are in the market.
Don't need to lament. Even at 66 then, it was dirt cheap. What more now. Share buybacks on the cards. Just sapu as much at this price. Otherwise really regret later no use.
