Certainly, the group has a lot going for it, and its growth momentum could well continue for some time even as Wong withdraws. For instance, Boustead Projects has formed a strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Abu Dhabi Investment Council, which is opening doors for it. Under the partnership, Boustead

Projects acts as a turnkey design-and-build contractor for their developments. Thanks to ADIC, Boustead Projects has managed to win projects in new areas, such as developing properties for biotech companies.

Looking ahead, Wong sees Boustead Projects building data centres, another new field for company. "We want to move one step up the technology ladder. There is potential to build big data centres and, once we are there, we can last a long, long time," he says.

Boustead Projects also plans to expand its geographic reach into China, Vietnam and Indonesia, as well as in Malaysia.

It is pretty competitive IMO. Even REITs are developing high end industrial buildings like data centers. Yet, Boustead lacks the advantage that REITs possess - tax free income.

How do you get a RNAV of S$164.9mil? Their NAV is at S$252mil and I am not knowledgeable about your basis of revaluation to result in a 35% reduction by revaluation from NAV.

pls read page 2 of prospectus . 14 properties valuation were already worth more than 400mil. We have yet to include 15th and 16th properties plus any future DBL projects .

And recurring income is set to increase to 36mil by end of this FY.

Dear Curiousparty,

kindly advise on how you got the 400mil valuation, as I understand that they only own 50% of Edward Boustead Centre and I should only take half of the valuation of that Building, which leaves me with just over 387 mil. I also would like to note that there are loans of $221 mil which $174 mil is due within a year. As such I am not certain how you derive your numbers on BP.

I believed $174mil is payable after one year.
Only ~ $17mil is payable within one year or on demand.

On RNAV, I quote below an extract from Edge Spore:-

"Ng does not currently have an earnings forecast for Boustead Projects. "I don't think earnings are critical here, as property counters' earnings can be lumpy," he says. Instead, investors should look at the company's assets to determine the value of its shares. As at Sept 30, Boustead Projects had a book value of 51 cents a share. Ng estimates its RNAV to be $1.26 a share. Shares in locally listed property heavyweights City Developments and CapitaLand are trading at discounts of 26.5% and 31%, respectively, to their RNAVs. Industrial property giant Global Logistic Properties is trading 18% below its RNAV."

I surmised that the RNAV quoted above might not have included the recent project wins, i.e. $34mil as well as the one announced today $13mil. I tend to disagree with Mr Ng. I believe that recurring income is of much higher quality than development profits which are lumpy. Company has stressed that it is its intent to further increase its recurring income base. Recurring income will increase the likelihood of a higher dividend payout in the future.

tks.
