Dear all, my Boustead FY 2011 AGM highlights has just been posted up on my blog. Please feel free to visit and leave comments, thanks!

A snippet as follows:-

"It is Boustead’s aim to grow their Design and Build portfolio as well, even though these contracts are sporadic and “lumpy”, in addition to focusing on their DB&L projects. It used to be the case where Boustead could sell at least one industrial leasehold property every financial year, but the problem with this strategy was that even though it brought in a lot of excess cash, it also meant that the Group would have to deduct one recurring income source. Boustead’s business model has to shift to one where the recurring income and cash flows from maintaining such a portfolio outstrip the benefits of selling the properties to clients for lump sum cash inflows. To do so, I reckon that Boustead’s other divisions have to ensure that they are all cash-flow positive and that the cash inflows more than cover the outflows to be made for progress payments to be made to contractors during construction of these leasehold properties."

Boustead has resumed their share buy-back exacty a month after their last buy-back on August 22, 2011.

Today, the Company purchased 100,000 shares at an average price of 84.03 cents, spending $84,027.20.

Total treasury shares now stand at 12.117 million bought at an average price of 52.72 cents. Total issued share cap less treasury shares = 503,628,524 shares.
