I m new to investing. Reading your posting is very informative.
But all huge/grand projects u posted eg "The Pinnacle", "Warhol Residence", "Marquis De Lafayette" and "Chadstone Cikarang" are developed by the indonesia entity and nothing to do with the Sg listed entity.
Can I say that all these projects are irrelevant if I am investing in the sg listed entity. Pl advise.

Hi Goldmine7777, there is immense amount of information, clues and hints in my post. You might like to vet through this thread from the beginning if you are keen in this counter.

Large amount of research work, efforts and time had been spent in garner materials and info and I had decided to share it over a period of time so that the market will have adequate time to absorb it.

Bro Kelvesy is also an avid investor in Pollux Properties and had condensed the main points in PDF files. You may like to visit our discussion here http://sgtalk.org/mybb/Thread-Pollux-Pro...#pid682643


PS: I may have possessed sensitive information from the private conversation with the Management and can only share when the time is ripe, else it will constitute an offence.

Bro Goldmine7777, I'm re-posting the below in case you miss it.

Some points highlighted at the AGM!

* Thin profit margin for current quarter.
Reply: Promotion and marketing cost were booked-in right upfront for All current projects. BULK of the revenue to start coming in 2015/16 based on percentage of completion. (PoC)

* Dividend Policy
Reply: No plan at the moment, future dividend policy to be discussed after FY 2014.

* Future Outlook
Reply: Evaluating Commercial Sector in Singapore. Looking out for opportunistic buy in Investment Properties and possible Overseas Expansion in South East Asia, such as Indonesia.

* Stock Liquidity
Reply: Management is looking at possible corporate actions to improve liquidity.

* Integration of Pollux Indonesia & Pollux Singapore
Reply: Management is evaluating possible integration between Pollux Indonesia and Pollux Singapore, but nothing concrete at the moment.

Thanks Volmax & Kelvesy - for the very useful tips.

I grab from seller 100 lots @7.8c few mins ago.

I am attracted by its small market cap of just $48.5m yet it is holding a list of impressive development & investment properties.
Metro Loft - 100% sold/construction stage 34%
Pavillion SQ (residence) - 97% sold left 1 unit/construct 12&
Pavillion Sq (commercial) - 100%/construct 12%
Garden Pk Residences - 88% sold left 4 units/construct 20%
Mayfair Residences - 65% sold left 7 units/construct 0%
Berkeley Residence - 100% sold/construct 15%

The bulk of its development profits should flow in Year 2015/16 based on completion stage at June 2014 (per AR2014).

Investment property Louis Havelock (96-unit service apt) should have generated rental income from 2H2014.

For benefit of goldmine. Hopefully you found a goldmine.

I view Pollux as dismal actually, the fundamentals are bad. Debt still high, low net profit margin. I recognize that this is a good gamble on Nico's strategy to turn around Pollux and integrate (possibly).

Louis Serviced Residences - Havelock (address: 554 Havelock Road, Singapore 169639)

Apartment Type Size (sqm) Daily (SGD)
1-Bedroom 38 198
2-Bedroom 57 278

The above rates are subject to prevailing 7% goods and services tax and are valid till 31 December 2014. I safety can assume 70% occupancy * the rates * days * months to derive FULL year profit.
Very thinly traded. Not for contra players.
Public float 24%
Nico holds 59.95%

Hope to see more profits when projects are completed next year.

I google the location of the 2 shops they own @ 432 Balestier Road. Value stated in books = total of $3.8m seems undervalued.

This is Public Mansion (Freehold tenor). A very old building, fronting Balestier Rd are few shops (one of them is a Coffee Shop). On the side of Jln Rama Rama are industrial units and from 2nd floor up are residential units.

This building is zoned for Commercial-cum-residential use with plot ratio of 3. Opportunity for enbloc redevelopment. One owner of Public Mansion, Hexacon Construction Pte Ltd owns 6 of the residential units and operating it as office now.
I calculated real public float 10-14%.

The rest are holding it tightly.

Their units which were rented out... 2 shop units, no. 432 balestier road (freehold - buildersmart)

Shares in circulation is probably only 8.25% (summation of 1st 3 groups).
Those in last big group are either insiders or very long-term investors holding tight.
