Times up. The operating environment remain challenging in the next few quarters. Time to exit this share though I should exit much early...

Doesn't look good. Revenue down, cost up, margins down, operating profit extremely low, profit reported mainly from write-back of previous year over-provision of tax.

The positives is net positive cash flow from operating activities, which is from lower sales resulting in lower receivables. Supply of log issue has been temporarily resolved (unfortunately at higher cost).

Also, big investment in 'Other Investments', hope this is not too risky investments.

Next quarter revenue should show improvement as delay of vessel pushed sales into October.

But Ringgit is getting stronger ..most of FLB sales derived from US dollar...i think...short term to medium term..is not good to invest in this company

Business prospects seem challenging, that's true.

Here's another perspective to look at.
Cash balances and money market funds amount to RM105,719,000 which is equivalent to RM1.02/ share

At current price of RM1.30++, the rest of the business is valued at 20++ sen.

NTA at RM1.65 (broken). Net cash at RM1.02 and improving every year, wondering how far it can drop further, hope to collect some at discount.

Time to build a position here.

Cash plus money market fund is RM105.87 mil.

EV (Market Value of Company, less cash add debt) is RM33.12 mil. This means if you were to buy FLBHD for cash right now, your cost is RM33.12 mil.

This company, on a yearly rolling basis made RM23,748 mil (EBIT)

EV/EBIT: is 1.4. Ie you buy this company now, within 1 year 5 months, it makes back the money for you.

I expect profit to drop abit more, but the margin of safety is very very high now.

Drop so much! Got caught in this rotten counter. No chance to exit at a decent price.

July - no supply of logs. Must have been a horible month for the P&L.
August supply started - but material cost high.
September - cannot book sales as vessel came in late.

Question is: Going forward, what can we expect:
Supply and cost of supply ok or not?
Ringgit becoming stronger?
Return on investment made? Does anyone know what they are investing in?
No supply, have they lost customers or customer go buy some where else?

If you think got hope than buy or average down.

If you think no hope, than cut loss first and maybe buy back lower, like someone said at 1.20.

What is management doing to address the supply shortage? Are they going up-stream and buy a logging company to ensure supply and lower cost?

Although tbf, it may not look that cheap as this quarter does definitely look bad. It may be due to temporary, arguably "Non recurring" events. But these events tend to have a way of recurring.

Does it matters anymore on this stock fundamentals? It's a family business. Looking at past transaction disclosures, the directors seems more interested on their short term personal gains. It's like their playground. Just stay away for now.

agree with babyrace, it like a play ground. director shouldn't sold for short term gain.

Posted by babyrace > 2017-11-23 11:40 | Report Abuse

Jon, it's legally right for any listed company owners to offload their shares before making announcements for bad quarters. In fact the director is not offloading huge amount of shares.

But from the frequency and transaction timing, it's reflecting a bigger root culture of a listed company that is not interested to protect shareholder interests.

Posted by GeniusTinker > 2017-11-23 15:52 | Report Abuse

Don't get fool with net cash balance. Low revenue. Dim future. No matter how much cash in bank also useless, unless the management able to find out a solution to increase back the revenue. Otherwise sell.

Posted by Fabien Extraordinaire > 2017-11-23 16:46 | Report Abuse

So the key question is whether the management is competent and capable to drive the company through this difficult period? What is your assessment of the management?

Another question is whether these supply problem is a prolonged structural issue?

Posted by Fabien Extraordinaire > 2017-11-23 16:48 | Report Abuse

Do you think at current price, the company is trading at a tremendous bargain?

Value is in the eye of the beholder. I may see value and yet you disagree.

If its just 100k shares or so that he sells, what is 100k shares. Less than 150k. He can only buy a honday civic with it.

I dont really care when a director sells these small amounts. Too many reason to sell.

But when he buys there is only one reason =)

For the past one two year no director sells direct shares. He has been buying instead. Some indirect shares were sold under the spouse name.
