Recovery momentum continues.  Margin expansion and growth starting to show... and a somewhat optimistic outlook.

Another splendid quarterly results from KODA.  

Top 5 gainers today... up to 98cts.  Here are the sales, gross profit, gross margin %, net profit, Profit Before Tax (figures are in USD)
Their cash jumped to US$6M, NAV is 86cts USD (S$1.22).  Debt continues to reduce on a very healthy balanced sheet.

Q1 2017              Q2 2017
$11,765,000         $13,441,000 
$3,339,000           $4,003,000
28.4%                 29.8%
$1,261,000           $1,398,000
10.7%                 10.4%
$3.18                   $3.84

In the next few months, the company will be starting a tmall.com online store to get sales, and for their franchisees to deliver.

A good friend of mine is a designer.  He recommends his clients to buy COMMUNE furniture :-)
Q3 recovery continues. On a typical quiet Q3, their sales up 39%. Gross margins up 5+%.

And Profit After Tax jumped 166%.

Cash grows from US4.6M to US$6.9M
Net Gearing dropped to 0.04 from 0.07

Company also requested for 1-for-1 bonus issue, to increase no. of shares.
Volume and share price is now adjusting on a nice trajectory. Last done $1.27

Market Cap $35M. Q4 (April to june) is usually a solid qtr by historical trends. Even in a slow Q3, the gross margin up 5%.

My realistic estimate of SGD $5M (financials is in USD) profit is definitely achievable. So the valuation is still very reasonable...
Koda mentioned here with respect to trade war:

Koda爲新加坡製造及零售家具公司,在馬來西亞和越南設有工廠。公司在澳洲、新加坡和中國等多個亞太國家亦設有零售店。

另一方面,在中國的同業要面對關稅增加時,像Koda那樣的公司實際上可以受惠。Koda的生產設施主要位於越南和馬來西亞。正如Koda行政總裁指,這可能帶動公司加速增長。他指出,公司很多客戶「正考慮在中國以外尋找貨源,以作為向美國市場供貨的替代來源」。
