Wee Hur's business has been badly hit as its segments in construction, student accommodation and worker's dorm are being affected by COVID

With Singapore's gradual relaxation of border measures, its construction should start to turnaround. What remains is its Aussie student dorm which requires Australia's borders to reopen for foreign students to re enter.

A definite turnaround story but it really depends on how Singapore and Australia manages covid

Nice headline of 1.6bil aud. After excluding debt, non-controlling stake and 13% roll-on, it would still be 355mil aud, impressive in the sense that it is ~70% of market cap before the announcement.

The good thing is, value is been unlocked from balance sheet items. The bad thing is, the unlocked value is not released from the balance sheet. Since this is a substantial transaction and there will be an EGM, OPMIs will be questioning about the usage of the proceeds even though the Gohs have >50% to vote it.

The ideal scenario for OPMIs would be the Gohs rolling on the 13% retained stake using their own money, funded via a special dividend distributed from this sale and their million dollar salaries. But Gohs prefer to roll on the money (theirs and OPMIs) for their own entrepreneurship purposes.

Hi weijian,

It was a disappointment, considering estimated gain for the whole WH PBSA PORTFOLIO is only $36.54 million. In NTA terms, it will only increase at around 7c per share.

Considering that there was much speculation on a higher valuation before the sale, I believe that the market will be quite disappointed over this proposed disposal.

hi ghchua,

I had taken a quick look at its AR - The WH PBSA JV recognizes the PBSA properties as investment properties and so they are subjected to FV accounting. On Weehur's own financials, the JV is equity-accounted and its share of P/L is reflected on Weehur's own P/L and balance sheet. So, there isn't much "hidden value" per say. 

The 36.54mil of recognized gain probably isn't too far off the past 1 year of market valuation gains over end Dec2023.
