Chasen Holdings

[Stocker]

This one crashed from 0.515 in Nov 2011 to 0.20 with no fundamental reason. It was another pumped and dumped counter.

Contract win annoucement this morning with 7.1m Secure in Middle east and yet tank 40%. Any thoughts?

Uniquely SGX..

Previous FY, its results were in the red.

Due to:
These were mainly due to the write-off of trade debts of $1.0 million and a further $5.1 million following the settlement of a trade dispute through arbitration as well as a provision for write-off of other debts of $2.0 million. However, after recording its first bottomline loss as a Group this financial year, we are pleased to report that several major relocation projects in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) would be coming on line in FY2014

No announcement pertaining to the fall, not to the knowledge of the management.

Previously its share price tanked too, the management did their daily share buy-back.

Tricky situation. I'd avoid it totally.

Thanks for sharing. Its probably another one of pump and dump I think. It is just one of another day that show resemblance of the 3 designated stock yet there is no query by SGX nor any disclosure by management by the sudden price movement.

I am a little puzzled what's the role of SGX. Maybe they should disclosure their parameters for "query" companies. You probably wont see this in matured exchange too.

Apologises. SGX did query, but I suppose these query are useless and it is pretty obvious something is cooking behind the scene.

Uniquely SGX..

I read on another forum (HWZ) that on a fundamental basis, this counter is "very solid" right now. Honestly, that sounds ridiculous to me.

NAV is about 20cents, but NTA is 18.02 cents.
The receivables under "Current assets" has been increasing over the years, even after restating. Even in the latest FY14Q1 statements, it is STILL increasing.

The restatements add to my concern. Before restatements, the other receivables were lumped together, and it was increasing as well.

Low dividend yield even after the share price collapsed.

Management awards themselves warrants, and even then, they dispose of the warrants with exercise price of $0.3. This shows that they dont think it'll reach $0.3 in the next 2 years.

The share buyback would normally boost confidence, but if the management is disposing of their own PERSONAL interests, this just indicates to me that its ok to buyback using the company's cash, but when it comes to their own, they are suddenly more prudent.

Overall i think the surprise is not the sudden drop in share price, but rather how did the price go up to $0.5 in the 1st place.

I wonder if this is good or bad. Any views?

A clever defensive move to avoid shares of Chasen to plunge further. Price may gap up on Monday.

Look like it's back-fired

With this warrant issue, the new NAV will be $0.185 from $0.208. Based on the last traded price of $0.180, the average price will be $0.165. I don't know about this coy so just doing simple math here.

Note not a call to buy or sell.
