Ces hit 80 cents. Anyone q at 80 cts? I took some at 80.
TM - so long as you dun hear any news, it's already good news !!
what news you all expecting ??,
its a overseas project, so no recognition until completion..
...even if got fantastic news, also no diff to Qtrly results... until completion.
only exception, yes - if they also divest off entire development site altogether! lol

below status valid as at end-Apr2015 (coz its notes from recent AGM)
Alexandra Hotel: will be revalued in Dec2015... even though its part of PP+E, they will revalued annually.
Alexandra Retail Mall: though TOP last year, Mall is still empty coz most "shops buyers" are Investors !!!,
and as cost of labour is high, shops unlikely to open for business until Hotel is up and running.

J9+Nine Residences (99% sold).. will TOP either in Dec2015 or Jan2016

CES Fernvale Projects :
will be launched as one single huge project (1399 units) to achieve cost economies
strategy is to drive all sort of fixed costs as low as possible !!, and will be pricing project to move sale.
likely to launch in Q3 or Q4.

CES: Fulcrum (at Fort Road): to relaunch in H2, so far ave selling price achieved for Fulcrum = $2000 psf

CES Australia's projects
( i ) Tower Melborne: Completion delay and will missed Sep2018 deadline,
when project obtained "TOP" and ask buyers to take delivery, and in event Buyers dun take possession,
under normal circumstances, Company can sue them, but most developer will just forfeit the 10% deposits instead of suing the buyers....
but because of the delay.... CES will NOT be able to forfeit the 10% deposits for TM project, but no other liabilities.

( ii ) Selling off vacant devt site (w Planning Permit) at 170 Victoria St, Melbourne for A$64.8m; Settlement Dte=26Mar2016
=> one year completion timeline is quite common in Australia
=> reason for CES divestment is becoz of TM delay, resulting in "crash of workloads / devt financings"...so divesting to concentrate on TM project and reduce risks.
Does anyone have any idea to what extent would hotel operations drag down overall performance?

It seems that there might not be enough guests to even cover the fixed costs of running.

Is this demand risk on CES or on Park Royal Group?

Tks.

Thats the point. Big Grin
Williamsons Estate Apartment site application.
"It is proposed to develop a part five-storey apartment building with semi-basement
car parking and an attached row of eight, two-storey dwellings over four lots
(4373m2) on land known as 154 – 166 Williamsons Road, Doncaster. The apartment
building proposes a yield 64 dwellings consisting of a mixture of one and two
bedroom apartments. The row of eight attached dwellings orientated to Henry Street
will be all two-bedrooms. The basement car park will provide for 74 car spaces for
residents, including the row of eight dwellings. No provision for visitor car spaces will
be provided within the basement. Four visitor car spaces will be provided within the
forecourt and six indented car spaces will be created on Henry Street.........

It is recommended to not support the application, as it has failed to comply with the
Manningham Planning Scheme and the development does not constitute orderly
planning."
Baseline of 4 cents dividend at least secured for next 2 years. >5% yield at current price level. Has value emerged after the 21% drop from the recent high of 98 cents to today's 77.5 cents??

EPS forecast for FY2015
1. Nine Residence and Junction 9 = ~ 12 cents
2. Construction Income = ~ 4 cents
3. Fulcrum = ~ 2 cents
4. Investment properties = ~ 0 cents ( assuming hotel operation would drag down EPS as it takes a few years before rooms can be filled up)
Total EPS = ~ 18 cents
Hotel Revaluation Gain = ~ 25 cents (conservative)

NAV at the end of FY2015 = $1.20 - $0.06 cents (dividend) + $0.25 (hotel revaluation gain) + $0.18 cents = $1.57.

Current share price = $0.775 or 51% discount to year end NAV!!!! (as of 16 June 2015)
Good news for Chip Eng Seng. Jalan Kayu/ Seletar area is likely to regain its old world charm much like what happens to Tiong Bahru now. Jalan Kayu is already famous for good food.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and JTC have slated several bungalows along Hyde Park Gate and The Oval for conservational redevelopment into a series of restaurants, spas and other leisure activity areas, with the aim of bringing back the vibrancy and charm back to the Seletar area. Such conservation work can contribute to the continued sense of history and identity in Seletar, a former British’s Royal Air Force (RAF) station and an army camp.
The contract awarded to Logistics Holdings involves addition and alteration (“A&A”) works to six existing conserved buildings and infrastructure works at Park Lane, The Oval and Hyde Park Gate at Seletar Aerospace Park. The construction work is scheduled to commence on 22 June 2015 and is expected to complete by 21 March 2016.
