To Oldman, River, Winmoney and others,

Notice that this stock has gone up and trading at high volume for the past few days. Wonder if any of you have got any news about this counter. Will the price still move upwards or shall I sell now ?

Hope to see any comments from any one of you.

Thanks.

The site was sold through private tender which closed on Nov 5.

The Placement Shares when issued and fully paid will rank pari pasu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of S$0.10 each (the "Shares") in the capital of the Company.

The Private Placement is conditional upon, inter alia, the approval of the Singapore Exchange Limited ("SES") for the listing of and quotation for the Placement Shares on the Main Board of the SES.

The Private Placement is not expected to have any material impact on the earnings per share and the net assets per share of the Company and the Group for the current financial year. The net asset backing per share of the Company and the Group, after adjusting for the Placement Shares will change from approximately S$0.16 to S$0.20 and S$0.19 to S$0.22.

The estimated net proceeds of approximately S$13.139 million from the Private Placement are proposed to be utilised by the Group as follows:

(a) S$6 million for property development;

The time frame chosen shows us a contrasting picture
for the counter. In 1999, it has been trapped in a bearish
down channel (1). It's fortunes reversed in this millenium
and it now channelling northwards (2).

The RSI which tells whether the counter is overbought or oversold
is heading southwards. However, such pullbacks for the last
month has been great opportunities for us to buy in.

POH LIAN HOLDINGS LIMITED



The Board of Directors of Poh Lian Holdings Limited ("PLH") would like to announce that the Company has entered into a joint venture agreement ("JVA") with a private Malaysian party (hereinafter referred to as "PCH") to jointly develop a columbarium known as Semenyih Memorial Park on 9.25 acres of freehold land in Semenyih District, Selangor Malaysia (the "Semenyih Project").



Background

PCH is the registered proprietor of the freehold land at Lot No. 570 Mukim of Ulu Semenyih District of Ulu Langat Selangor Darul Ehsan (the "Land"). The Land has been approved for memorial park development.

The Semenyih Project is targeted for completion over a period of 2 to 3 years and marketing for the first phase is expected to commence in the first half of 2001. When completed, the Semenyih Project will contain a single storey temple, a prayer building, and will hold between 200,000 to 300,000 niches.

PLH will be responsible for the financing of the Semenyih Project and will undertake the construction and all other operational activities. PLH will also be responsible for the marketing of the Semenyih Project. Both parties shall participate in the sale proceeds of the niches in accordance with the JVA.

Despite the large land mass in Malaysia, the country is facing a shortage in the supply of burial grounds. Currently about 2 million existing graves in Sungei Besi, about 10 km from Kuala Lumpur, are pending exhumation. To cater to the need for more resting places for the dead, there are about 3 major Memorial Parks in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor regions that provides a total of about 50,000 niches. These niches have almost been fully taken up and as the demand in the market rise in the next few years, there is an urgent need to build more columbariums to meet these needs. The current prices of these niches range from RM2,000 to RM10,000 each. As a result of the scarcity of land and the higher costs associated with burials, demands for columbariums are fast becoming a lifestyle in Malaysia. Furthermore, the rising rate of exhumation is also an influencing factor underlying the choice of columbariums versus traditional burials.


Investment

The total cost of the Semenyih Project is estimated at RM20 million. PLH will pay an initial cash outlay of RM3.0 million representing its 50% interests in the joint venture.


Source of Funds

The investment will be funded by means of internal funding and bank borrowings.


Effect on net profits, earnings per share ("EPS") and the net tangible assets ("NTA") per share

The investment will not have any impact on the net profits, EPS or NTA of PLH for the current financial year ending 31 December 2000.


Rationale and Benefits

The Semenyih Project represents an expansion of PLH's capability in design and construction of columbariums. In June 1999, PLH entered into the columbarium market in Singapore. The Group commenced with the design and construction of one of the largest privately-owned columbarium projects in Singapore, located in Choa Chu Kang.


Disclosure of Directors'/Substantial Shareholders' Interests

None of the Directors or substantial shareholders of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in the investment. The Board of Directors is not aware of any substantial shareholder of the Company having any interest, direct or indirect, in the investment and has not received notification of any interest in the investment from any substantial shareholders.

Poh Lian jumped up 7 cents yesterday and closed at 60 cents. Despite weakness in the general market yesterday the stock was up 7 cents. Today it hit a high of 63 cents, currently trading at 60.5 cents. Any 'invisible hand' at work here? Average volume for the last 1 month is less than 1 million but today we r seeing a good volume of 1.5 million. Any comment?

Poh Lian is rumoured to be close to clinching a $60 million HDB project as reported by Reuters last week.
Also it is not any project but one of those high margin "Design and Build" project. Should boost profits! and help sustain earnings per share even after the proposed 1 for 2 Bonus issue, just approved by SES.

NetResearch-Asia has also issued a detailed and highly bullish report on the Co recommending a BUY with a fair value target of $1.00

Technically, this stock has just broken out of a Bollinger band squeeze and proceeding on it's way up. Looks like this one is a sure-fire high flyer both technically and fundamentally!! A very good buy at the current price of around 67cents.

Poh Lian: Indonesian investment 'fraught with risks,' but outweighed by gains


SINGAPORE (AFX-ASIA) - Poh Lian Holdings said its planned investment in PT Upton Synergy Indonesia is likely to be fraught with risks, although these will be outweighed by the potential contracts and the experience of multinational cooperation the company stands to gain.

The company said its plan to develop a water resources program may be subject to price fluctuations of construction materials due to volatile supply and demand conditions and exchange rate movements.

It also acknowleged that the project will be exposed to sovereign risks in Indonesia, and may be subject to delays.

Nevertheless, on the upside, Poh Lian said the project will provide an opportunity to team up with strategic partners such as GTM-Dumex and Degremount who have expressed their interests to participate in the project.

"The prospects of securing the award of such contracts, the teaming up with these MNCs and the invaluable exposure which the company may gain from its involvement in this project outweigh the risks and uncertainties present in the project."

Given that the project is still at its preliminary stages, Poh Lian said it is unable to finalise the cost estimates as well as the commencement and completion dates.

It is however estimated that construction will take between five and eight years.

Under the agreement, Poh Lian will subscribe to a 20 pct stake in USI for 100,000 usd.

It added that the acquisition is not expected to have significant effect on the earnings per share for the current financial year ending 31 December 2000.

INVESTMENT IN PT UPTON SYNERGY INDONESIA


Further to the announcements by the Company on 23 and 24 February 2000, the Directors of the Company wish to announce further details on the status of the acquisition of Upton International Pte Ltd's ("Upton Singapore") right to subscribe for 20% of the issued capital (the "Stake") in PT Upton Synergy Indonesia ("USI") under a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 24 April 2000, as amended and supplemented by a Supplemental Agreement dated 24 April 2000 ("S&P").

(i) Background of USI and the Project

USI, a limited liability company governed by the Foreign Capital Investment Law of Indonesia, was approved by the Ministry of Investment Mobilisation Fund/Chairman of the Capital Investment Coordination Board ("BKPM") on 9 April 1999. The deed of establishment containing the Articles of Association was approved by the Ministry of Law and Regulations on 29 May 2000. Accordingly, USI has obtained its status as a juristic person under Indonesia Law with effect from 29 May 2000.The approval and the deed of establishment have to registered at the Companies Registry in Indonesia and published in the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia. Upon the registration and publication, USI will be legally established in Indonesia.

It is anticipated that USI may directly or indirectly through one or more investment holding companies, participate in joint-ventures or form part of a consortium and be involved in a project to develop a water resources programme in the proposed Kampar and other areas of the Riau Province in Indonesia. The project relates to the catchment, treatment, transportation and sale of water to buyers in and outside Indonesia (the "Project"). As the Project is still in its preliminary stages, the details of the structure of investment and the level of participation of USI are still being negotiated and finalised. USI has to date not commenced any operations.

A preliminary feasibility study of the Project was conducted by PT Tirta Degremont and Dumez-GTM through study teams from Indonesia, Singapore and France. PT Tirta Degremont is a subsidiary under the Degremont group. Degremont is established worldwide and has long-standing experience in water plant project. Dumez-GTM is a company which specialises in building infrastructure objects and has been involved in projects such as Sagiling Dam & Power Station at West Java, Indonesia, Channel Tunnel at Calais, France.

The objectives of the preliminary feasibility study were, inter alia, to conduct a preliminary study on the raw water resources in the Riau Province, in particular, the Kampar river system and the Indragiri river system, the proposed development of water treatment facilities in and water delivery systems from Riau Province and the preparation of cost estimates. The study area consists of two river basins, the Kampar river basin with a catchment area of 24,548 km2 and the Indragiri river basin with a catchment area of about 16,000 km2. A deltaic zone extending between the two river basins with a catchment area of about 10,500km2 is also included in the study area.

The preliminary feasibility study on technical aspects of the Project has been completed and the study area is found to have physical conditions favourable for water resources development. However, pending further investigations into various proposed financial models, it is not possible at this stage to finalise the cost estimates of the Project. As the Project is only in its preliminary stages, the dates of commencement and completion of the Project have not been finalised at this point in time. It is however estimated that the construction period will range between five to eight years.


(ii) Shareholders of USI

Upton Singapore, Top Synergy Pte Ltd ("Top Synergy"), a Singapore-incorporated company, and PT Cahaya Bintang Semesta ("PT Cahaya"), a company incorporated in Indonesia, were initially approved by BKPM as subscribers of USI in its Articles of Association. As at 23 February 2000 (the date of the S&P), Upton Singapore, which had not yet injected capital into USI, agreed to transfer to the Company its right to subscribe for 20% of the issued share capital in USI under the S&P.

The authorised share capital of USI is Rp 4,358,500,000 (equivalent to US$500,000) divided into 5,000 Shares of Rp 871,700 (equivalent to US$100). Upon the completion of the S & P, the Company will subscribe for 20% of the issued capital of USI and the subscription amount is US$100,000. The other approved subscribers of USI are:

(a) Top Synergy

Top Synergy will hold 20% equity interest in USI. Top Synergy, a Singapore-incorporated company, is 100% owned by Upton Singapore. Its business involves, inter alia, construction and civil engineering works.

(b) PT Cahaya

PT Cahaya, a company incorporated in Indonesia, will hold 5% equity interest in USI. PT Cahaya is 90% owned by Mr Irwanto Oentung and 10% by Mr Paulus Tiaras, both of whom are Indonesian citizens. Its business involves, inter alia, construction and civil engineering works.

(c) Upton Singapore

Upton Singapore, a company incorporated in Singapore, holds 55% equity in USI. Its business involves, inter alia, general wholesale trade including import and export of heavy machinery and equipment.

Upton Singapore is controlled by Mr Irwanto Oentung. Mr Irwanto Oentung is the Head of International Division of Perusahaan Daerah Sarana Pembangunan Riau (Riau State Holding), which is 100% owned by the Riau State. He is also the President Commissioner of USI.


(iii) Consideration

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of the Stake by the Company is S$2.8 million, of which S$600,000 has been paid in cash and the balance thereof to be satisfied by the issue and allotment of 2,933,000 Shares to Upton Singapore at an issue price of S$0.75 ("the Issue Price") to be credited as fully paid ("Initial Consideration Shares"). The Issue Price was determined based on the weighted average of the Share prices for a one-month period from 21 January 2000 to 22 February 2000, prior to the date of the S&P.

The purchase consideration will be increased to S$5.85 million in the event USI receives a letter of intent or any other document expressing interest to acquire from USI (or any other company nominated by USI) water sourced from Indonesia ("a Letter of Intent"). Upon receipt of such a document, the Company shall issue to Upton Singapore an additional 4,066,666 Shares at the Issued Price, to be credited as fully-paid in the capital of the Company ("Balance Consideration Shares") in satisfaction thereof.

The purchase consideration of S$5.85 million represents approximately 20% of the total estimated cost of the feasibility study (approximately S$29 million) at the time of negotiations. The Directors have successfully negotiated with Upton Singapore for an initial partial payment of S$2.8 million, with the balance payable only in the event USI receives a Letter of Intent, the receipt of which is not a condition precedent to the completion of the S&P.

Pursuant to the S&P, the Company will from time to time pay to Upton Singapore a participation fee in Singapore Dollars ("Participation Fee") which will be equivalent to the amount of monies paid by the Company in subscribing for the shares or any other securities in or granting any shareholder's loan (or any combination thereof) to USI within seven (7) days of such payment. In determining the Participation Fee to be paid to Upton Singapore from time to time, the exchange rate of US$1 to S$1.705 shall be used, and the Company will issue such number of Shares at the Issue Price as shall be sufficient to satisfy the Participation Fee ("Participation Consideration Shares").

The Participation Fee was intended to constitute the "premium" payable to Upton Singapore for the immediate dilution of its approved shareholding in USI as a result of its sale of the Stake. However, given that the Project was only at its preliminary stages, the Directors were of the view that instead of paying a lumpsum "premium" up front, it would be more advantages to the Company to structure the "premium" such that it is only payable as and when the Company decides to invest or increase its investments in USI and each amount payable will be equivalent to the quantum of investment. However, apart from the subscription of 20% of the share capital of USI at the price of US$100,000, the Company currently has no intention of subscribing for more shares or any other securities in or granting any shareholder's loan (or any combination thereof) to USI. The Board has internally decided to limit its investment in USI to US$100,000, equivalent to the subscription amount for 20% of the issued capital of USI. Accordingly, the Participation Fee is capped at a maximum amount of US$100,000.

Under the S&P, Upton Singapore can waive certain condition precedents set out in the S&P and elect to receive the purchase consideration and Participation Fee in cash. As this is a long term investment for the Company, the Directors believe that for the interests of the Group, it is better to issue shares as consideration instead of cash payment. Further, Upton Singapore undertakes that it will not sell any of the Initial Consideration Shares, Balance Consideration Shares and Participation Consideration Shares acquired within a period of six months from the completion of the S&P.

Assuming that USI does not receive a Letter of Intent, the aggregate total of the purchase consideration (S$2,800,000) and the Participation Fee (S$170,500, based on an exchange rate of S$1.705 to US$1.00) constitutes 5.08% of the NAV of the Group based on the audited financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 1999. In the event that a Letter of Intent is received by USI, the aggregate total of the purchase consideration (S$5,850,000) and the Participation Fee (S$170,500, based on an exchange rate of S$1.705 to US$1.00) constitutes 10.29% of the NAV of the Group based on the audited financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 1999.


(iv) Project risks

As mentioned above, the Project is only in its preliminary stages and the dates of commencement and completion of the Project have not been finalised at this point in time. There is no assurance that there will not be any delay in the commencement or completion of the Project. The Project may also be subject to price fluctuations of construction materials due to varying levels of supply and demand of such materials. Changes in exchange rates will also affect material costs.

As the construction and operating activities of the Project will be carried out in Indonesia, the Project will be exposed to sovereign risks in Indonesia. The performance of the Project may be materially and adversely affected by developments with respect to government policies, exchange controls regulations, currency fluctuations, social instability and other political, economic and/or diplomatic developments in or affecting Indonesia or buyers outside Indonesia.


(v) Rationale of the acquisition of the Stake ("the acquisition")

The acquisition will provide an opportunity for the Group to team up with strategic partners such as GTM-Dumex and Degremount who have expressed their interests to participate in the Project. GTM-Dumex and Degremount have undertaken multi-billion dollar infrastructure and water treatment projects respectively around the world. The Directors also expect the Company, once it becomes a shareholder of USI, to have a better understanding of the requirements of the Project. This will place the Group in a better position to secure the award of any construction contracts relating to the Project. Involvement in such a project will also boost the track records of the Group and place the Group in a better position to secure other infrastructure projects. The prospects of securing the award of such contracts, the teaming up with these MNCs and the invaluable exposure which the Company may gain from its involvement in this Project outweigh the risks and uncertainties present in the Project.

(vi) Financial effects of the acquisition

The acquisition is not expected to have significant effect on the earnings per share for the current financial year ending 31 December 2000. However, if Initial Consideration Shares, Balance Consideration Shares and Participation Consideration Shares are issued, positive impact to the net tangible assets per share of the Company range between 3% and 7% for the current financial year ending 31 December 2000 is expected.

No Director of the Company has any interest, direct or indirect, in the acquisition. The Directors have not received any notification of any substantial shareholder of the Company having any interest, direct or indirect, in the acquisition and are not aware of any substantial shareholder of the Company having such interest in the acquisition.

Sassi (JM Sassoon's) take:

Poh Lian takes 20% in Indonesian water project, which may supply Singapore’s needs.

Construction company Poh Lian Holdings is buying into an Indonesian-controlled company which is looking into developing the water resources of Indonesia’s Riau province with a view to selling the treated water possibly to Singapore.

Poh Lian will pay S$2.8m for a 20% stake in the company, PT Upton Synergy Indonesia (USI). The other 80% of USI belongs to Mr Irwanto Oentung, a top official of Riau province. Poh Lian has so far paid S$0.6m in cash and will pay for the rest by issuing 2.933m shares valued at 75˘ each. The sum payable by Poh Lian will increase to S$5.85m if and when USI secures a buyer for water sourced from Indonesia.

The number of shares to be issued will then rise to 4.066m shares. In a statement to the SGX, Poh Lian said: "USI may directly or indirectly, through one or more investment holding companies, participate in joint ventures or form part of a consortium and be involved in a project to develop a water resources programme in Kampar and other areas of the Riau Province in Indonesia."

The project is expected to involve the building of water treatment facilities and water delivery systems. With USI going through joint-ventures or consortiums, Poh Lian’s effective stake will end up much smaller than 20%. However, we can reasonably assume Poh Lian, as the equity partner with construction experience, will be actively involved in the construction works. However, the project is far from take-off stage. Feasibility studies are still being conducted. Construction is expected to take 5-8 years but commencement and completion dates have yet to be established.

Potentially big news but not yet a significant development to act on.

Singapore Firm Takes Stake in Indonesian Water Project

Friday, June 16 11:17 AM SGT


SINGAPORE, June 16 Asia Pulse - A Singapore-listed construction company, Poh Lian Holdings, (SGX RTH) has announced plans to acquire a major stake in a massive Indonesian water project as part of efforts to help Singapore diversify its water supply, said a news report.
Singapore currently gets most of its water from Malaysia. The two countries are still working on a new supply contract beyond 2061 under a package of outstanding bilateral issues to be resolved.

According to the Business Times, Poh Lian Holdings has acquired 20 percent of a consortium, Upton Synergy Indonesia (USI), which has just completed a feasibility study to harness several water catchment areas in Indonesia's Riau islands, which lies close to Singapore.

If the project gets off the ground, it will cover a catchment area 80 times the size of Singapore and take five to eight years to build.

The project included sale of water to buyers in and outside Indonesia.

A preliminary study conducted by a fact-finding team from Indonesia, Singapore and France found the area favourable to water resource development.

The study covered the Kampar River basin, which has a catchment area of 24,548 sq km, and the Indragiri River basin with a catchment area of 16,000 sq km.

Apart from Poh Lian, the other stakeholders in USI are two other Singapore-listed entities, Singapore Upton and Top Synergy Pte Ltd, and Indonesian-incorporated Pt Cahaya Bintang Semesta.

The possibility of Singapore buying water from Indonesia was raised in discussions between Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong and Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid in January this year during the former's visit to Jakarta.

The report said the Singapore government is willing to guarantee an offtake if private companies could develop the necessary infrastructure including building a pipeline linking Riau to Singapore.

Poh Lian just went ex-bonus. Its last done price before it went ex-bonus was 60 cents. Since the bonus is 1 for 2, that means if you had 2 shares at the end of the cum-bonus period, you would get 1 free share. 2 shares x 60c =$1.20. Divide $1.20 by 3 to get 40 cents as the theoretical ex-bonus price. Based on this, then, Poh Lian is now actually up 1 cent to 41, not down.
