http://www.thestar.com.my/Business/Business-News/2014/03/01/FGV-eyes-Asian-Plantations-Malaysias-plantation-giant-in-expansion-mode/ Published: Saturday March 1, 2014 MYT 12:00:00 AM Updated: Saturday March 1, 2014 MYT 11:50:48 AM FGV eyes Asian Plantations BY HANIM ADNAN An Asian Plantations palm oil mill. Email Facebook 4 FELDA Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) is hot on the trail of another round of landbank acquisitions this year. The cash-rich plantation conglomerate is believed to have set its sights on Asian Plantations Ltd (APL), a Singapore-based plantation company that is listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange. Sources close to the deal tell StarBizWeek that discussion are still ongoing between the two parties. “FGV is going to be busy with its international road show, which will kick-off next week. There is a possibility that the APL deal can be struck in the next few weeks,” adds the sources. It is still unclear whether FGV is looking to buy up the entire stake in APL or some of its maturing plantation assets. It is believed that the price being negotiated works out to be about RM50,000 per hectare. As at press time, both FGV Group president and CEO Mohd Emir Mavani Abdullah and APL joint CEO and executive director Graeme Brown are unavailable to comment on the deal. Last year, FGV undertook several major mergers and acquisitions (M&As), including the RM1.2bil takeover of Sabah-based plantation company Pontian United Plantations Bhd, the RM2.2bil purchase of the remaining 51% stake in its associate company, Felda Holdings Bhd, RM35mil for a 100-tonne-per-hour biodiesel plant in Pahang and RM44.2mil to buy a 95% stake in two plantation companies with 21,037ha of oil palm estates in West Kalimantan. So, what makes APL such an attractive acquisition target for FGV? While APL is perceived as a foreign-based group but in reality, it has a 100% Malaysian profile with its subsidiaries involved in oil palm plantations in Sarawak. The company was listed on AIM in 2009 with 4,795ha of landbank. Its shares traded at 75 pence with a market capitalisation of about US$30mil.

The convertible bond price is 285p so any offer must be well north of this figure to make sure they are in the money. Got to be looking at £3.50 minimum. I hope they do not sell. I want them to hang on for 2/3 years and extract full value from a sale. Stunned at the lack of buying here today

From what I can gather Bugoil competes with and synergises with a class of compounds called avermectins…….which are not banned

Bugoil is neither an anti-viral or anti-fungus……kills bugs though…and very effectively according to the research from all those years ago!!

Tapaas owns 8500000 shares in this comapany…..every penny the SP moves is worth £85 000 to him I suspect he is doing everything he can to boost the Market cap of this company. Great spot on Paul Scott SonnyBurnett. He clearly got his fingers badly burnt in the past and does not look beyond his red flags and reading of accounts. The company did pick up $4.5 million of receivables...

stock o pedia report has spooked a few retail holders. with an illiquid stock you have to take the highs and the lows. it moves a long on low volumes. next quarter should show some bumper figures and we are due a lot of good fundamental contract news

DQ Entertainment (DQE.L, 22.5p, £12.5m)# Encouraging Q3 update · DQ Entertainment has published its Q3 update on trading for the three months to 31 December 2013. A robust performance is reflected in revenues up 11.5% to INR 508.5m (INR 455.9m) and a significant y-o-y improvement at the adjusted PBT line from a loss of INR 16.7m to a profit of INR 57.4m. · The results confirm the continuation of a pattern of tight cost controls which over the nine month period has seen total overheads (excluding changes in FX and transfers to the capital account) fall by 6% from INR 1,246.5m to INR 1,175.6m. · Once again it is worth remembering that DQE’s results are, in line with the global animation industry, heavily biased to the second half of the financial year and the fourth quarter in particular. In this respect we draw some encouragement from the statement which alludes to an improvement in the North American global animation industry and demand for Visual Effects (VFX) from which DQE expects to benefit. · In our opinion DQE, with its growing IP content, remains significantly undervalued relative to its peers and we retain fair value of 50p.

volumes in India…miniscule. According to the announcement the next Q should be a bumper one

Had another look at the results this morning and am more encouraged. the nine month figures, vis a vis 2012, with the foreign exchange gains stripped out look very good and it seems this final quarter will be very good because of some delayed delivery/invoicing. getting a grip on those receivables is a really good sign. there are some discrepancies which i wish to question re. Tapaas stating in a recent interview that the order book was $100 million when in these accounts it is about $75 million. there is also one production which seems to fit into both delivered product and product in production…? still, i am sure there is a perfectly innocent explanation which i will endeavour to find out when i get a minute. i was hoping to see better numbers in the distribution part of the accounts…i though burger king monies should have been due around now? plenty of on going work to get on with and i have a feeling there are some major deals in the offing. Talk of dreamworks/ netflix is really interesting, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10127069/Shrek-creator-DreamWorks-signs-deal-with-Netflix.html DQE has a pretty good library now….and there is a massive demand for extra content. And then we have Tapaas in that recent interview talking about a step jump in the order book with multiple TV series and Movies ready to go…including The Jungle Book….surely we must get some concrete news on The Jungle Book movie before too long….$8 million spent on it so far! Not sure how they will be able to pay a dividend unless there are some excellent receipts over the next 3 months. time will tell, still, a tiny market cap considering what they have done, the back catalogue, the IP they are rolling out, the skilled labour force they have etc.

nice numbers on the 9 months, less pretty for the three months. ticking along, bad debt a shame, receivables gain good, and it seems the next quarter should show some good numbers due to billing dates. i also expect some good business news in the next 3 months

closed up 5% in India at 37INR. UK trading at a huge discount to India. Meeting is tomorrow, results on Monday

I have not bothered to check with the company but from all the dates posted on Indian websites it seems the 14th. is the due date…..but who knows, might spill into next week?

agreed…mms a bit short it seems

anyone want to add to the list of 'reasons to buy' feel free

discopablo……floors still look OK….his and hers taxes done and dusted….she has been lining me up for some extended decorations in March….i will let you know when it will start…should be a good time to buy! fundamental reasons to buy 1/. CEO has stated the order book will grow substantially in the next 2/3 months 2/. Studios to co-produce and work on Jungle Book have been lined up suggesting financing and distribution is close 3/. Dividend promised this year 4/. Library valuation must be worth considerably more than the company 5/ Largest animation skilled workforce in India. 6/. Multi award winner 7/ Partnered with all the top studios in the world 8/. CEO's interests aligned with shareholders as he owns 14% ish 9/. He pumped in £750 000 at 20p a year ago 10/. There must be contract and merchandising deals re. Peter Pan due 11/. Own IP just beginning to become the major part of DQE's earnings. Jungle Book 2 due to be finished and delivered around now. Lassie and Robin Hood to be delivered in March and April ( I expect some slippage here) 12/. profit making company 12/. INR weakness means it is more attractive to US partners and increases bottom line profit all for a MC of less than £13million……totally nuts value and patience will out all

There will not be a placing. Try doing some research!!! Once they have secured the business, they will get bank finance. This is how they have always financed productions. Guaranteed incomes set against work secures bank debt. Try speaking to the company…they are very amenable. If you invest in micro caps, which sail under the radar, and are illiquid, you have to be able to handle the pain as well as the pleasure!! Sometimes you might be 50% down….if you keep doing your research and believe you have made a decent investment then back your judgement. If you can't handle the stress, don't get involved!

just sell up and stop whining. put me out of my misery!! http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/will-continue-to-hold-20-stakemethod-animation-dqe_1029364.html

The global animation market grew all the way through the GFC……kids don't care about financial markets….they love consuming cartoons and buying all the rubbish merchandising that go along side. If you listen to the last interview from Tapaas from a week or so ago, you will here him state that the order book is at around $100 million right now which is way up from the last results. He also states that large, fresh orders are imminent and there will be a substantive growth in the order book, so no need to fret Volcano, just take advantage of a market cap not far off historical lows when the company is just at the beginning of enjoying the revenues from its own IP hitting the market
