Tye Soon

[SLC81]

Sounds like the bad boxer Tyson.

Business:

1) Car parts distribution
2) Food Distribution

(2) were sold for a substantial amount which company said will:
2.1 Repay bank borrowing
2.2 May pay out some cash distribution
2.3 Focus and expand car parts distribution

I think they may chose to do (2.1)

NAV of 0.21 cents

pls Read SGX announcement for more details.

3.6 cents cash distribution

The remaining core regional vehicle parts distribution business will still carry a load of debts to the tune of over $40m, after paying/accounting for the declared $9.9m 'jumbo' dividends payment.....

Quite clearly, the controlling shareholder Ong Family is more concerned about taking out cash from the company, than strengthening its B/S or supporting future business growth.

I have tried to quickly estimate the per share fair value of the remaining business based on its recurrent earnings, and the number came out to not a lot more than $0.10/share. So if Mr Market is rational or smart enough, those who choose to bet on the coming dividend at the current share price may end up a little disappointed, especially after the counter eventually goes ex-D.

Another dividend of 4.8+ cents. Good or bad?

it was very spectacular that Tye Soon with just NAV of 21 cents reached as high as 30 cents when only special dividend of 5 cents was declared in the early part of this year...

New Toyo with an understated NAV of 36.5 cents waiting to receive 2 batches of cash dividends from SAH (total - at least 12 cents, depending on how much premium of the 2nd batch) is only trading at 29.5 cents..

Just wondering when is Mr Market coming to its senses?

Tye Soon seems to have come back to 21 cents as of yesterday. New Toyo seems to be at 31 cents
