The insiders of Nobel Design Holdings have been heavily buying back shares consistently over the last couple years.
The fact that they are currently trading below liquidation value for a very profitable business seems quite ridiculous. I am sure insiders realize this too hence their confidence in the heavy buy back. Their P/B is 0.684, PE is 4. They have also been consistently paying out a dividend every year.

Recently the auditors of Nobel Design did not continue their appointment, is this any cause for concern? It's balance sheet looks rock solid and it's hotel is topping end of this year.

Nobel Design seems to be barely affected by the by the rout since I last posted 6 months ago. They seem quite resilient as their share price has been about the same since June while the STI has dropped more than 15%. They continue to be very profitable. It seems like a matter of time for this solid business before they hit at least their NCAV in price.

Hi,
Can someone with better accounting knowledge help to enlighten me?
FY 2014 balance sheet shows a debt of 12 mil + 0.47 mil + 64.2 mil (76.7 mil).
Q1 2015 balance sheet shows a debt of 10.9 + 0.362 mil + 10.1 mil (21.4 mil).
You can a reduction of 55 mil of debt from Fy 2014 to Q1 2015
If i look at the Q1 2015's cash flow statement, I cannot see a corresponding item in the repayment of bank borrowings.
How do I reconcile this?

If you look at the amended statement released on 21 May together with their 1q15 results
http://infopub.sgx.com/Apps?A=COW_CorpAn...5-2015.pdf
the 64.2 mil is no longer there.
It is likely this is the debt held by its subsidiary and reclassified.

There are differences between a “subsidiary”, “associate” and “joint arrangement” – hence their accounting treatments.
There are two different methods of accounting for interests in joint arrangements:
a) Joint Operation
b) Joint Venture
As explained by the above statement, it was the result of accounting reclassification of certain “joint arrangements” from “Joint Operation” to “Joint Venture” – which the management reckon more appropriately reflect the rights and obligations of the Company under such “joint arrangements”.
It was not due to any reclassification of debt held by subsidiary.
