0.6 cents dividend .EX date 27th April. Pay date 18th May 2018.

EGM date is also being set on the same day - 24th April , mainly to pass the The renewal of the Share Buyback Mandate. I think this may likely help to support the price and increase its NAV ..
Seems a good move to me.



Food Empire’s products include a wide variety of beverages, such as regular and flavoured coffee mixes and cappuccinos, chocolate drinks and flavoured fruit teas. It also markets instant breakfast cereal, potato crisps and assorted frozen convenience foods.

Looking through their financial results for past 4 years , we can notice that the Total Revenue has been generally rising from $249m in 2014 to $269M in 2017 . This is quite positive.

Net Profit has also been a great improvement from a Loss of $13.6m in 2014 to a Profit of $13.3m.

NAV value has also been rising from US$0.2594 to US$0.31.45. This is rather encouraging and knowing that the company is growing and also increasing the Book value for the company.

Cash flow has been quite healthy as can be seen from the table below , it has risen from $6.05m in 2014 to $39.89m in 2017.

Return of Assets has been generally improving from 3.8% in 2013 to 7.6& in 2017. Which is rather positive.

Return of Equity has also been rising from 6.9% in 2013 to 8.3% - a high single digit grow rate in 2017.

FY2017 Net profit would be even higher if not because of the one-time divestment loss of 7.6m ( impairment of associate/goodwill etc).

I think this is a turning around company that has shown great improvement in bringing the company back to profitable condition and also generating a pretty good sets of Total net income to achieve an EPS of 3.9 cents ( excluding divestment loss, if not, rolling EPS would be 5.9 cents), PE of 16 times is pretty impressive.

This is a Net Net Position company as can be seen the Total Current Assets of $186.6m is more than enough to cover the Total Liabilities of $106.7m.

I have roughly workout the DCF cash flow intrinsic value for Food Empire, using a CAGR of 30% , discount factor of 20 %, I have derived a fair value of 82 cents.

I think the average industry PE for F&B is about 22 times , which may likely arrive a Target Price of 86 cents. Which is also quite close to the cash flow fair value.

I think the dir recently has been buying up share.

Not a call to buy or sell.

In fact , the yield is much higher than ComfortDelGro . ComfortDelGro & M1 price has began to rise , I don't see any reason or obstacle why SingTel price is not heading higher!

It will need a nice breaking out of $3.40 in Order to rise higher towards $3.50 and above .

Kris Energy

Kris Energy - From TA point of view seems rather bullish! It has a beautiful white thrust bar appeared on the 6th April + high volume and closed well at 9.3 cents. It has a Price Gap Up on the next trading day and a few follow-through session with prices heading higher. Looks rather positive.

The current price of 10.7 cents is hovering above its 20,50 & 100 days Moving Average which is quite bullish.

It would likely make an attempt to cross over 11 cents which is also coincide with its 200 days Moving Average.

Macd is also rising and may likely provide an indication for price to rise further.

 Breaking out of 11 cents with ease + good volume that may propel to drive the price higher towards 11.8 cents then 12.8 cents with further extension to 13.5 cents.

 NAV of 22.4 cents. EPS of -0.205 ( negative EPS)

 Total revenue has been generally rising but still not enough to post an profitable EPS.

 Return of Assets & Return of Equity are into negative growth . Which is not so rosy. Investor may want to take note of this.

 Debt to Equity ratios is also very high.

 his is a ultra penny stock counter. I think is good to exercise with extra cautious!

Hyflux

Huflux - looks like the worst is over.
Below is an extra ticket from it's CEO teport for your reference:

Despite the near-term challenges in the Singapore power market, Tuaspring IWPP is still a world-class project with a 25-year service concession up to 2038. The largest asset on our balance sheet, Tuaspring IWPP was funded through a mix of project financing and corporate f inancing, including the 6% Cumulative Perpetual Class A Preference Shares (Preference Shares) which is due for f irst call date redemption in April 2018. While the process has taken longer than initially expected, we remain committed to the partial divestment of Tuaspring IWPP at an acceptable price. In light of the delay in divestment, the Group is unlikely to complete anydivestment deal ahead of the first call date in April 2018 for redemption of its Preference Shares. Consequently, it is likely that redemption of the Preference Shares will be deferred until divestment of Tuaspring IWPP is concluded, with the coupon yield for the Preference Shares stepping up from 6% to 8% in the meantime, at an additional S$8.0 million per annum. At the end of 2017, the Group has a total cash balance of S$314.2 million, excluding another S$77.2 million of cash reported under Assets held for sale. In addition, we will be able to progressively draw down on unutilised committed project finance loans of approximately S$400 million to support completion of our ongoing projects. We are also due to collect some receivables for our EPC work done in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.
Opportunities in the Water Business Some 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year according to World Wildlife Fund (WWF organisation). Inadequate sanitation is also a problem for 2.4 billion people, who are exposed to diseases such as cholera, typhoid and other water-borne illnesses. Two million people, mostly children, die each year from diarrheal diseases alone. The situation will only get worse. With pollution, climate change and population growth, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water shortages by 2025. Hyflux’s vision has always been to make clean water accessible and affordable to Besides gaining stronger foothold in Singapore, the Group has also expanded our ELO business line into Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and will be looking at South Korea and Taiwan next. all. As one of the few water companies with a proven track record in seawater desalination, we hope to leverage our strength in water treatment solutions to address the global water shortages. Global Water Intelligence reported in 2017 that the MENA region will remain the largest desalination market in the world due to severe water scarcity. This region has been a strategic priority for Hyflux, and through the years, we have worked hard to establish a strong track record. Apart from water projects in Algeria, Oman and Saudi Arabia, Hyflux will continue to actively pursue other projects in the region. Contract negotiations for the  Ain Sokhna IWPP in Egypt, which is converting from an EPC structure to a Build, Operate and
Transfer (BOT) structure, is in progress. Strengthening our track record in landmark projects Over the years, Hyflux has built an impressive track record of landmark projects in its target markets. In an industry where track record is the key to pre-qualification for municipal project ue to work hard on adding good projects to our portfolio. Tuaspring IWPP is a significant technological achievement for the Group despite the short term challenges in the Singapore power market. As the Group’s first integrated water and power project, Tuaspring IWPP is a world-class asset with stateof-the-art technology, paving the way for new integrated water and power project wins such as the Ain Sokhna IWPP in Egypt.
