The company’s result for the period of Aug to Oct 18 just show how dire the state of its financials. The company only managed to book in a revenue of RM800k for the period which resulted in a loss of almost RM1mil. Given the cash balance of only RM25k, I doubt the company has any ability to take on any new projects at the moment. Even if it managed to take on some projects, I seriously doubt that they can deliver any meaningful profit from it.
The company is planning to raise a total of RM1.5mil via a private placement of which all will be used for working capital purpose. I am just not sure that is enough to bring back the company on its feet and start delivering some profit to its shareholders.
Looking at the balance sheet, the biggest amount of assets are actually under the “Investment in JV”, “amount owed by contract customers” and “trade and other receivables” (combined total of RM51.2 mil or 87% of the asset value). All of these assets were previously highlighted by LFE’s external auditors. They have doubts on the value of the said assets. Any potential write-down/ write-off of these assets value could have a potential risk of putting LFE under the PN17 status.
If you are looking to diversify your portfolio outside of LFE Corp (due to its weak earnings outlook and very weak balance sheet), I would recommend you to look at MBMR.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 7.2x PE (based on target FY18 profit of RM145mil. 9m profit is already RM106mil). PB is low at only 0.7x BV. 4Q18 results is expected to be higher than 3Q18 and last year's 4Q17.
FY19 growth will be driven by the still high demand of the new Myvi and the newly launched SUV Aruz and also the newly revamp Alza in 2H19. The recent announcement of closure and potential disposal of the loss-making alloy wheel manufacturing business alone is expected to boost the company’s profit by an additional RM20mil. I am projecting a profit to shareholder of RM170 mil for FY19 which at the current price values MBMR at only 6x PE.
Please go through the analyst reports (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/pt/5983.jsp) and do your own analysis before making any decisions. There are 8 analysts in total covering the stock with most of them having a TP of above RM3 (all have a buy rating). The average TP for the 8 analysts is around RM3.50.
First, topping up fund via private placement, then losing money. Then 2nd, topping up fund again via private placement, then losing money again. Then 3rd, keep on topping up fund again via private placement, then keep on losing money again. Then 4th, repeat & repeat. Then 5th, again & again. Then 6th, repeat again & repeat again like driving Nissan Infinity, is infinity.......
