Introduction of Knusford Berhad’s Business Knusford Berhad (“KB” or “the Company” or “the Group”) is a Malaysian-based Company with diversified businesses in trading of building materials, construction-related works, property development and investment holding.

Change of financial year end On 27 August 2021, the Company announced the change of financial year end from 31 December to 31 March. Following the change in financial year-end, FYE 2023 represents a full year from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 (“FYE 2023”).



Our results for FYE 2023 cannot, therefore, be comparable with that for FPE 2022, which represented 15 months’ results from January 2021 to March 2022 (“FPE 2022”). In presenting our results, we will still provide the relevant data for FPE 2022 for reference only. Overview of Financial Performance For FYE 2023, the Group reported a lower revenue of RM159.57 million as compared to RM305.01 million attained in the previous FPE 2022.


By applying a proportional adjustment to annualise the 12-month results, there is a 35% or approximately RM84.44 million decrease in revenue, which was mainly due to lesser contribution from the construction division.



Despite the lower revenue, the Group recorded a profit before tax of RM2.37 million for FYE 2023 as compared to a loss before tax of RM3.13 million in FPE 2022.



The Group revenue was mainly contributed by the trading division. The construction division is the second larger contributor of revenue for FYE 2023.



The Group profit before tax was mainly contributed by the property development division as a result of a disposal of land transaction. The operation loss incurred by trading and construction was mitigated by a significant gain on disposal of an undeveloped freehold vacant commercial land in Semenyih, Daerah Ulu Langat, Negeri Selangor Darul Ehsan for a total cash consideration of RM14.63 million.


The disposal was completed on 13 February 2023 and the gain before tax of approximately RM10.75 million was recognised in FYE 2023.

A settlement agreement in relation to the set-off of amount owing by Iskandar Waterfront City Berhad Group (“IWCB”) against the Purchase Consideration for the Acquisition of a parcel of freehold vacant land held in Mukim of Pulai, District of Johor Bahru, Johor of RM53.24 million, the Group has recognised an additional interest income of RM2.11 million received at the completion of the said Settlement Agreement with IWCB.


QUOTE
Iskandar Waterfront City Berhad Group (IWCB) owed money (RM53.24 million) to the group.
The group acquired a parcel of freehold vacant land in Johor Bahru, Johor.
As part of a settlement agreement, IWCB offset the amount owed against the purchase consideration for the land.
So, IWCB owed money to the group, and instead of paying cash, IWCB offset this debt against the purchase consideration for the land that the group acquired. This means IWCB effectively used the amount it owed as payment for the land transaction.



Looking ahead, the Group is mindful that the local economy remains highly uncertain, and inflationary pressures are expected to rise.



The disruption to global supply chains and the escalating building materials prices will continue to pose challenges. In ensuring the Group is well positioned to navigate through this challenging period, the Group will continue to strategise, adapt, and will take timely appropriate measures in order to minimise operating risks and optimise our resources for the core business to remain resilient and stable.



Trading Division The trading division registered a revenue of RM72.49 million in FYE 2023 (FPE 2022: RM43.36 million), mainly from the sales of building materials to an infrastructure project in Johor Bahru.


The Division recorded a loss before tax of RM1.60 million for FYE 2023 (FPE 2022: loss before tax of RM0.18 million) mainly attributed to higher product mix with lower profit margin and an additional net impairment loss on trade receivables amounted to RM2.41 million during the FYE 2023 as compared to RM1.24 million in FPE 2022.


It is hopeful that the newly secured Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project by our related party, Ekovest Construction Sdn Bhd will help to boost the demand for building materials in the near term.

Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway to fully open from 11.59pm Friday night, no toll charge until Dec 2

03 Nov 2023

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 3): The 20.7km Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway (SPE) will be officially open in its entirety to motorists at 11.59pm on Friday .

This comes as the previously unopened 16.3km stretch of Sections 1 to 3 — from Kerinchi to Setiawangsa — of the highway to be open.

A 4.4km Section 4 — stretching from Setiawangsa and Taman Melawati — has been open since December 2021.

According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, who officiated the highway’s official launch, toll charges at the three toll plazas — namely Chan Sow Lin, Ampang and Setiawangsa — situated on the stretch, will be exempted until Dec 2.

After the one-month period, cars will be charged the highway’s toll rate of RM3.50.

With the highway fully opened, Alexander said it is expected to be used by 100,000 vehicles daily.

"The SPE connects with several other highways, such as the SPRINT, AKLEH, DUKE and MRR2, and will increase efficiency of the network and reduce congestion in Kuala Lumpur," he added.





The concessionaire of the SPE is Lebuhraya DUKE Fasa 3 Sdn Bhd (DUKE 3) — a wholly-owned unit of Ekovest Bhd.

Shares in Ekovest ended half a sen or 1.05% higher at 48 sen, giving the group a market capitalisation of RM1.41 billion.


Company Name: LEBUHRAYA DUKE FASA 3 SDN. BHD.

Company Registration No.: 1128142W / 201501002810

Nature of Business: To design, construct, operate, manage, and maintain the Setiawangsa-Pantai Expressway.
Date of Registration: 2015-01-20
State: Wilayah Persekutuan

**Point** **Details**
------------------------
**1. Current Situation**
**Ekovest Fan** You've been following Ekovest since September 2023.
**Proposal Details** Tan Sri Lim Kang Hoo (TSLKH) proposed a major reorganization involving Ekovest, including significant acquisitions and share issuance.
**2. Proposal Overview**
**Acquisition of Credence** Ekovest to acquire 70% of Credence for RM1.14 billion, issuing new shares at 60 sen, resulting in 1.9 billion new shares.
**Danga City Mall and Land Parcels** Ekovest to acquire these for RM310 million, issuing 516 million new shares.
**TSLKH’s Increased Stake** Post-deal, TSLKH could own 51% of Ekovest, acquiring 2.416 billion new shares.
**3. Market Reaction**
**Price Movements** Share price volatility has been observed. It initially rose sharply post-announcement but later retraced and then fluctuated with significant movements around key events and reports.
**Candlestick Patterns** Formation of a cup and handle, indicating a potential bullish trend.
**4. Strategic Implications**
**TSLKH’s Share Disposal** His selling shares each time they hit 60 sen could affect market sentiment and technical patterns.
**Cup and Handle Formation** Continued share disposal at critical levels might disrupt this bullish formation, potentially leading to a double bottom before any further rise.
**5. Future Outlook and Considerations**
**Due Diligence and Approvals** The proposal involves a legally binding agreement, with a timeline for due diligence, regulatory approvals, and shareholder voting.
**Minority Shareholder Sentiment** If the share price is high (e.g., RM1.16) during the EGM, minority shareholders might support the proposal despite the perceived discount. However, dissatisfaction over the discount could pose a risk of rejection.
**Ekovest’s Valuation** The company's significant assets, including toll highways and land banks in the Iskandar region, suggest a strong underlying value.
**6. Analyst Views**
**Bullish Targets** Analysts from Rakuten and UOB have set target prices above RM1, indicating a positive outlook.
**OTB’s Valuation** He suggests the highways alone justify a higher share price than current levels, emphasizing the undervaluation.
**7. Community Sentiment**
**Mixed Reactions** Investors show varied opinions, from bullish sentiments based on technical patterns to concerns over share disposals by TSLKH.
**Market Sentiment** Current sentiment may involve profit-taking and consolidation phases, with expectations of higher prices once the selling pressure subsides.
**8. Conclusion**
**Monitoring Key Levels** Watch critical price levels, especially around 60 sen, to gauge market reactions and TSLKH’s actions.
**Long-Term Potential** Ekovest’s strong asset base and strategic initiatives position it well for future growth, contingent on successful execution of the proposed reorganization and favorable market conditions.
**Final Thought** Continue to track both the macro developments around the reorganization and micro price movements to make informed decisions. Happy trading!
