RMB 80mil Yuan was met via injection of $9mil SGD.

But is namralk's example considered a serious illegal operation? In any regard, I've forwarded to Best World's IR to seek their views.

Interestingly - SolidGold did sue the Hangzhou Health Department over the fake propolis (蜂胶) scandal - claiming itself to be a victim as well - as the fake ingredients were supplied to them by the real culprit - a company in Henan province.

My guess is BWI would have had discovered this during the DD process.

Would this affect BWI's DS license application? I think it is of anybody's guess - this happen slightly less than 4 years ago (i.e. still within the 5-year-period) but the Management is of the opinion that they are ready to put in the DS license application - presumably, they think it would not affect the application.

Well, I am still optimistic.

I forwarded this question to Mr. Ben Soh of Best World, and he said Best World is on track in getting their direct selling license.

Possible turnaround in play!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Management expects overall results for the Group to be positive for the remaining months of FY2014, especially with regards to performance coming from the Group’s China, Taiwan and Philippines subsidiaries.

2Q2014 = 18.278 / 0.34 / 0.3 (1H2014) / 4.1%
3Q2014 = 19.229 / 0.51 / N.A. / 5.8%
9M2014 = 50.309 / 0.91 / N.A. / 4.0%
FY2014 = >70 ?/ > 1.0 ? / 0.6 or 0.9 (for 2H2014) / ?


Comments:
1) Quarterly revenue, EPS and NPM (Net Profit Margin) for 3Q2014 increased, compared to 2Q2014.
2) 9M Revenue already exceeded FY revenue of previous 4 years.
3) 9M EPS already exceeded FY EPS of previous 3 years.
4) Positive OCF of SGD 6.208 million for 9M2014.
5) These above improvements were due to strong performances from the Group’s business in Philippines, Taiwan, the PRC and Singapore.
6) The Manufacturing/Wholesale segment (BWZ), which was acquired in late February 2014, contributed 5.7 million in revenue to the Group for the 7 months period from March to September, constituting 11.3% of the Group’s total revenue.
7) Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Management expects overall results for the Group to be positive for the remaining months of FY2014, especially with regards to performance coming from the Group’s China, Taiwan and Philippines subsidiaries.
8) Could FY2014 revenue breach the SGD 70 million mark again, which last happened in 2009?
9) Could FY 2014 EPS breach the SGD 1.0 cent mark again, which last happened in 2010 ?
10) DPS of 0.3 cent was declared for 1H2014. If DPS of 0.6 cent could be declared for 2H2014, at 22.5 cents a share, this would equate to a dividend yield of 4%.
11) Steadily, it looks like BWL is making progress in growing its top and bottom line – even before obtaining its DS License in China – though bottom line has been growing at a much slower pace than top line, nevertheless, progress has been made.

Probably done this to promote goodwill between two countries and might help put them in a better position when applying for direct selling license into the multi-billion industry.

Personally, I feel it is a good cause to promote exchange of friendships and deeper understanding each other's countries. It also given those children a chance to travel.
