thestar : TDM plans to sell poultry business

Friday March 20, 2009

By EILEEN HEE


Segment made a loss of RM1mil to RM2mil last year

KUALA LUMPUR: Terengganu state-owned investment holding company TDM Bhd plans to sell its loss-making poultry business and focus on core areas, namely plantation and healthcare, said chief executive officer Badrul Hisham Mahari.

“The poultry segment is bringing us down and it does not fit our portfolio anymore,” he told reporters here after a media briefing on the group’s financial results yesterday.

TDM’s poultry segment had made a loss of RM1mil to RM2mil last year, due to a lack of expertise and an inability to compete, according to Badrul.

The integrated poultry farm with a production capacity of 300,000 to 500,000 chickens per month employs 150 people and 100 contract farmers.

On its healthcare segment, Badrul said the company would focus on expansion in the east coast, namely Kuantan and Terengganu.

“We are scouting around towns in the east coast to set up a hospital by this year,” he said, adding that the company was targetting the mid-range healthcare market.

Last year, its three medical centres, namely Kelana Jaya Medical Centre, Kuantan Medical Centre and Kuala Terengganu Medical Centre, saw a growth of 20% in the number of patients.

“We hope to (see) a growth in profit of between 1% and 3% this year and I think this is achievable,” he said, referring to its healthcare segment.

Commenting on its plantation business, Badrul said the group had seen improvements in fresh fruit bunches (FFB) production, which yielded 595,002 tonnes in 2008, compared with 515,893 tonnes in 2007.

“We are confident of achieving FFB production of 600,000 tonnes this year,” he said.

【blogger add : beyond expectation owing to bad weather.
for reference : 353295 in first 9 month】

TDM currently manages 12 oil palm estates, totalling 35,000ha in Terengganu, and is also undertaking expansion plans in Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Badrul said the project there was expected to contribute positively to the group’s earnings from 2011.

“We have started to clear land and we are going to start to plant the trees,” he said, adding that the first phase of planting would involve 10,000ha of land.

In its financial year ending Dec 2008, TDM posted a revenue of RM385mil, up 44% from 2007. Pre-tax profit jumped 139% to RM144mil while earnings per share bounced to 45.85 sen from 17.71 sen.

“The improved results were attributed to higher yields and the (higher) average crude palm oil (CPO) price at the plantation division and better performance by the healthcare division in terms of an increased number of patients,” Badrul said.

tdm 和 thplant意见。

回网友。

TDM和thplant都属于官联公司,这种公司反而更值得探讨,股东不必为股息烦恼,公司的董事通常是由州政府和投资机构委派过去的,他们不会把钱留在公司里。
当然我们不能拿unico,umcca,chintek这些高息公司相比,他们的股价已经被守在高处了,他们在国内的公司运作非常顺畅。
(但也不能太过官僚,若是和CMSB比较,他们应该是婴儿。)

thplant有一年派息两次的习惯,TDM只有一年一次,通常后者的股价很缓慢。
我不鼓励投机者拿TDM的股息,原因是“越拿越跌”,基本上TDM有两个买入点:1)派息后。 2)派息前几个月。也就是说,TDM大概是一年只能投机两次,在其他时间买入,感觉在像和时间过不去。

想纠正你的地方是,thplant的ffb产量绝对会比tdm来得高,原因是thplant在9 December 2008,以两亿代价(80%新股+ 20%现金),从大股东手里购得两间公司(Sabaco和Bukit Belian)。他们的年报应该是根据weighted yield来计算平均产量的。

你可以看到,thplant收购两座园丘带来的效益。
而,TDM,天气可能不好,产量下跌了。
【纠正你的分析和比较,thplant 08's 产量应该是347,547,不是303,645】


在股息比较方面,想纠正的地方是,我们应该以“财政年”作为依据,比如说,2007年12月31号财政年的股息,虽然在2008年派发,但是我们还是以2007年作为基准,这样才“不会乱”。
既然报告是以sen来表示,就不应该改为%,不然,thplant的股息就要除以2了。

(thplant是经过红股调整过的,如果一律以sen来计算,应该比较不会错)

我想你应该知道TDM的园丘受到州属的地理因素影响,应该不必提了。
许多人以为TDM的园丘还有很多成长空间,其实,已经不多,已经peak了(根据猜测)。
根据TDM的网站,他们说他们的园丘在这10年内都不必砍倒,所以我预测他们最老的树也不过是12-15岁,如果计算刚刚成熟出来的成熟面积,产量已经peak了。也就是说,TDM 的平均面积产量,最多不会超过22,之后就会倒退。(恐怕已经倒退,但这要从明年天气转好的情况去分析。)

TDM会把earning按一定比率派发出去,其余的资金用来扩充医院。其实这也是TDM的弱势,这是因为,TDM的其他业务都不会赚钱。
最近TDM已经进军了印尼种植业,毕竟这个项目才是它的强项。
TDM目前通过一间80%的印尼公司,筹备开发10000公顷印尼的种植地,此外他们还有30000公顷的purchase option.
TDM已经完成了10000公顷的land clearing,我估计已经有种植了,两年半可以收成。
但我国的上市公司有一个“坏习惯”,那就是,要等到真正看见盈利实现以后,股票才会起,因为这样才够materialize,所以说,真正能看到回酬的时间,恐怕是5年后(因为油棕树要时间成长)。
但话也不是这么说,TDM在5年前,股价只有60sen。

如果以annual growth来评估TDM,也不恰当,原因是,TDM的产量上升趋势,刚好赶上cpo上升趋势,如果以现在的cpo价格来看,TDM的业绩恐怕只能比breakeven好一点了,这是因为它们的产量低,平均成本拉高所致。我猜测产量已经peak了,cpo又回不到过去水平。
可能他们可以少放一点肥料,节省成本吧?我不清楚。。。。
你可以看到,今年首半年(09H1),TDM的eps只有6sen,如果往好的地方想,全年最多只有20sen,本益比最好的话,不过是7.5倍。今年的股息,估计不会超过7sen。
TDM过去几年都在price to book value 0.4的地方交易, 现在已经是0.55,所以我认为已经合理。虽然我记得好像换了一些management team,也可能市场开始注意他了,因此也不至于跌回以前的水平。

其实我的想法很简单,我尽量可做的就是,不以“比较的结果”评估一间公司的好坏。且,th plant是一家不停有重组动作的公司(例如:红股,现金收购,新股收购),拿来比较很不讨好。
(例:新股方式,注入资产,导致ROE【下跌】。)

我认为如果你懂得把握TDM的爆发时机,它还是不错的选择,毕竟它nothing to lose。
th plant方面,因为大股东一直在想办法把园丘注入th plant,顺便要求thplant发新股给他,因此thplant的股价不能跌太多。
两个不同的公司,拿来比较有点不适合。
如果再出现熊市,那么,th plant也不会跌太多,这是因为他们有注资动作。
【按理说,如果thplant的大股东想玩臭,它可以把股价压低,然后再逼thplant发新股给他,以增加thplant的股权,但thplant的大股东没有这样做。
这种玩臭情况,反而发生在国外。
去年thplant是以每股RM3.34换取新园丘的,也就是红股之后的 RM1.67,这两个新园丘,有没有给thplant带来新盈利呢? 还没做功课。】

总而言之,跟随大市好像比较重要,我从这波熊牛市学到的。 :( :(

tdm和farest的土地轉讓買賣細節,很隨便。

由彭亨州政府控制的far east holdings ,脫售一塊面積4.3公頃的地皮給登家樓州政府控制的TDM 公司。

這塊地位于彭亨州,售價為RM13,960,000.00,主要用途相信是用來建醫院,因為這塊地是通過TDM的子公司KUANTAN MEDICAL CENTRE SDN BHD買下的。

TDM沒有說購地的用途。
fareast沒有說脫售這塊地可以得到多少的盈利。(我應該要download年報來查嗎?不了。)

像這類不負責任的公布,過幾天肯定會被SC問話,然后公司就會一一回答,把他當作相聲表演就好了。

08 July 2009

回读者的信,要复杂,要简单,依你选择。

你好,我不是做这一行的,普通投资者。

你的要求,很难实现,因为有太多东西需要兼顾,看产量不对,看平均售价不对,看margin也不对,看成本也不对。好的公司(如果股价不好,也不对。)

你提到benchmark 要求,个人觉得很难。万一benchmark弄得不好,情况就如,把“已经分类好的东西”再凑和在一起了。

当你听(看)到人家告诉你,投资要benchmark,行业要benchmark时,事实上他们10个有9个,连我自己,都是没有自己benchmark过的。因为,知易行难(讲就容易,做很难),人的一天就只有几个小时,看一份报告已经很“千载难逢”,download 10份报告下来,输进excel,要多久呢?

可能又会有人提议说,这个方法很“传统”,因为http://osksec.klsetracker.com.my就提供了一组table。但,这组table能透露什么呢?



benchmark的局限,例子:州属。
你不能拿登家楼(丁加奴)的园丘和霹雳的园丘相比;不能拿sarawak的园丘和sabah的园丘相比,因为它们的比较关系就像是牛和羊,矛和盾。

多年来丁加奴州的产量都不高,其中最具代表性的公司是TDM,TDM占了整个丁加奴州属1/6园丘。
虽然TDM的表现在全马的种植上市公司中(除了sarawak,kelantan),算最差的,但它却是丁加奴州最好的,如果要benchmark,也不知和谁benchmark才好?
马来西亚有两个“油棕带”,一个在kota tinggi,一个在sandakan,如果某公司的园丘在那边,自然的它的估值会高一些。估值至少可以是RM60000/hectare。
因为我不是做这行的,手上也没有“卫星图”,不知道哪个园丘好,哪个不好,和相关行业的人比较,我简直是井底之蛙,试问我该怎么比较它们,和替它们估价?

一般上,评估一个园丘的价值方法是:(产量x售价-成本)(以10%的DCF算出)
算到来,应该是10倍pe。(if growth rate = discount rate = 10% )
valuer会把通货膨胀,growth rate,和土地增值算进去。

很抱歉,连我都觉得我在推搪了。

benchmark的局限,例子:行业属性。
IOI:油脂。
Kurnia,Twsplnt:pure estate。
Kmloong,QL :miller and kernel expeller, Carbon Credit
Tsh etc

种植不像银行,值得你去benchmark。
每间银行运作模式都一样,提供的服务都差不多,连non-performing-loan都差不多,贷款成长也差不多,分行数目,服务态度,这些都可以benchmark,但种植就很难。(对我来说很难。)

benchmark的局限,例子:树龄。
4岁-10岁:exponential growth curve(快速曲线上升),eg:4-6tons快速上升到25-30tons。
10岁-17岁:慢慢衰退,eg:25-20
17岁-25岁:衰退,eg:20-10

benchmark的局限,例子:天气和环境。
印尼的天气和马来西亚的天气不同,
雨多,fruit多,extraction rate少。(但平均起来,oil to area最多)
雨少,fruit少,extraction rate多。
雨太多,没有雨。等等。。。


我建议的方法是,plantation profit per hectare,因为这是最“化繁为简”的。
有关profit per ha的资料,你可以通过blogsearch搜索,http://timcheeso.blogspot.com/search?q=%22profit+per+ha%22


在“繁”的部分而言。
不可忽略的是“四大要件”了:产量,榨油率,平均售价和成本。

衍生出来的数据,有:
1。return on investment:
plantation profit / (prepaid lease payment + biological asset)

2。开发成本:
biological asset/hectare,
biological asset指的是油棕还没有收割时的“成本投入”。

3。每公顷营运成本:
(plantation revenue - plantation profit) / hectare


讲到concept,SWOP analysis,重点,或“注意事项”之类的,我还没到能够“整理系统”的程度,也许你慢慢看应该可以get到一些。

对于小型公司,我的心得比较接近这个:用新的modulus评估,看看准不准确。


............其实我不知道如何回答你,甚至“从何答起”都不能够。
我不是什么种植专家,我看起来像种植专家,事实上是因为我在一些投资知识“帮助”下,“弥补”(掩饰)过去而已。
当然如果说我可能“比你懂一点点”,这还说得过去。
我不是“刻意谦虚”或“刻意炫耀”,实话实说罢了。

你是想要知道oil palm还是company analysis?
如果你想知道oil palm,我帮不了你,除了valuation per hectare的部分,可以解释。

这是pure planter blog


>>>
hi

你好,我刚刚看到你的Blog, 觉得你对Oil Palm Industry 很熟悉。。真的不得不佩服。。连什么种子都知道, 你是在这一行做的吗?

其实我有东西想向你请教,请问你是怎样 Evaluate 一个 Oil Palm Plantation 是好还是不好? 我有找和看你对本地oil palm counter 的 Analysis, 可是我却没有什么 Get 到整个Concept 或 Model...

不知道你方便写一个 Post 关于怎样 Analysis 和 BenchMark 一个好的 Oil Palm Plantation 吗?

我有找回你以前的 Post 可是找不到 (可能使我overlook)

如果你真的方便的话, 希望你可以谢谢这一方面的心得。 我真的是很有诚意想学习怎样 Analysis Oil Palm.

*我现在每天都在看着你以前的作品, 都写到很好,希望你会继续分享你的心得。。。

加油! 加油!

其中一个最便宜的种植股-TDM (1)

“序言”请看上一篇博文《最便宜的种植股》(链接)。


TDM的前身是Terengganu Development & Management Bhd,业务涵盖了种植,医药,食品(禽业)。
种植占了TDM很大部分,2008年的营业额和净利,种植就占了整体的75%和104%(因为非种植业务是亏损的)。

TDM的种植面积,约占了登嘉楼(旧称丁加奴)1/6的总种植面积。也就是说,有1/6的登州园丘来自TDM公司。

TDM的主要股东是登州政府的两家机构,股权为68%,分别是PMINT和登嘉楼州务大臣机构。
由此可见,它的便宜,必有原因。
只要和“州发展机构”有关的公司股价很少有意外高估的情况,不管是彭发展机构。。。马六甲州发展机构。。。意象举例而已。
TDM被低估的另一原因是他的行业关键数据表现不好(如profit per ha,FFB yield,和油榨取率)。

TDM的股价从RM1上升了70%,到RM1.70,我依然说这是低估,似乎有点误导,但这只是从整体行业比较的结果而已。先不要定论,逐步分析下去。


必须强调一点是,TDM较吸引的地方是他的股息记录。
TDM从1999年开始之后的7年,都没有给过股息,直到2006财政年,TDM才开始派息,之后的2007年度和2008年度都有派息。
派息是一年一次的,比率很少,这也可以解释股价低估的原因。
但至少,他们开始了一年一次的股息。


tdm's profit before tax per hectare (only for plantation division)
2008年是 RM3907,
2007年是 RM1532。

ioicorp's profit before tax per hectare

2008年是 RM14763, 是 TDM 的 3.78 倍,
2007年是 RM9824,是 TDM的 6.41倍。

从上述比较可以知道,如果IOI的每公顷地段估值是RM80000,你就只能给TDM RM16000的估值。平均是5倍。


TMD的种植地段(成熟)至少有30000公顷,就算30000公顷好了。
TDM的债务可以被抵消,其余资产包括两座提炼厂,但,还是算30000公顷好了。

这30000公顷地段,如果以RM16000计,每股估值是RM2.19,以闭市价RM1.65-1.70来看的话,依然低估。


如果以每公顷RM80000来评估Ioicorp的地价,每股估值是RM1.88的而已,相对于ioi的闭市价RM4.4,显得相对低。
(80000 x 139000 / 59亿(已扣除回购股))
IOI还有很多资产,例如欧洲的厂房,这些估值是无穷的,但,对于ioi,我只能分析到这里。


决定profit per ha的“四大要件”是,产量,榨油率,平均售价和成本。
如果这四大要件的其中一个出现扭曲,就能知道这间公司问题多多了。


TDM的地不可能卖到那么便宜的,至少应该有RM25000,但基于“四大要件”可能有其中一两个不理想,导致我给了他很严格的discount。(我的功课做不完,不能逐个看)

除此以外,我也利用这个modulus,评估他的合理价,结果也相当满意。
虽然算出的合理价只有RM1.31,但这个modulus是相当缺陷的,RM1.31是经过非常多的折扣出来的结果。
此外,其他的股已经涨了很多了,你必须把合理价(RM1.31)抬高。


1.plantation valuation,每公顷估值是17500(已经从RM25000折扣30%),这些因素包括了园丘成本,平均售价,销售网路的考量。17500算是相当贱价了。

2.milling valuation,由于榨油率很低,我给他25%折扣。


3.other valuation and adjustment。
共 20,000,000。
把所有的业务和空地,当作0处理。
把存货和receivable加在cash里,共200,000,000。

把债务折扣90%,共180,000,000。
债务折扣是有原因的,因为,他和国际级的食品公司--Cargill,签了5年的合约(要到期了),TDM规定每年以一定的数量,一定的价格,供应unbleach palm oil给cargill。
cargill会先支出一笔钱给TDM,这笔钱视为债务。

此外,TDM在4Q08的average selling price比整体行业高,相信原因和cargill有关。
marketability 定了70%,其实太过严厉了,我应该给他75%。但因为我还没有逐个读完资料,只好安全一点。


合理价
如果你不在乎派息率,也不相信股息魔咒,那么TDM的合理价为RM2.91。
因为我相信有这个魔咒,我认为的合理价是RM1.31,即使他的本益比不到5倍。


年龄分布。
年报没有透露,分析报告没有透露,新闻报告没找。
从每年逐步增加的产量看来,他的树龄很轻。但我不敢挂保证,因为7岁和17岁,差距是很大的。
如果说,TDM 的pk recovery rate有逐年增加的迹象,就可以知道他的树龄了。
受树龄影响最大的数据,依次为是FFB yield,pk rate,oer 。
在这里,oer 没有参考价值(官联公司的关系),所以我只能分析pk rate的变动去补助分析树龄了。
不管怎么看,我是觉得他的树龄相当轻,但,还是必须下载2000年的年报以作比较。

但篇幅太长了,比我预计的时间还要多,功课也做不完,只能说到这,尽量做到写多少post多少。
如果没有后续的补充,这个第(1)部分就是完结部分。


【amend minutes later】
其实我少算了债务,TDM的总债务是257,402,000,其中有多少是欠cargill的,没去找。
不放心,因此建议把other valuation当作0,当作是其他业务和空地的价值。
我就不改图了。】

从《彭發展機構》谈起

kurnia setia由于和彭亨州皇室关系过于密切,我相信这是令他的股价折扣的最大原因,当然这个世上是不会有“最便宜”和“超便宜”这种事,因为低估一定有低的原因。

还有一个例子就是kulim,kulim每公顷地段只要RM20000,如果我们把英国上市和PNG的两家公司,餐饮部(pizza hut and KFC)列入,pasir gudang工厂列入,他拆解后的value在RM9以上。

说他们的好话,是会被扛着正义旗帜的人反对的,因为他们的恶评太多了。
与副首相不可分割的柔佛信托基金(虽然看起来和他或kulim无关),还有最近在网际网络闹得很大的山埃采金事件(因为《彭發展機構》和kurnia有关系),都是“不可分割”的。

我只能做的是尽量以中肯角度分析。
上述两只股,我比较排斥kulim,一方面也是他规模太大,怕讲不好,所以这里只说kurnia。

前几年,kurnia是不赚钱的公司,原因有:
1.树龄分布不均。
2.突发事故,如棕果被偷,洪水,油棕树被大象推倒。(大象是几年前的年报说的,不是乱吹的。)
3.榨油率不高,只有18.X%到19.X%。

针对以上几点说明。

棕果被偷是内部人士做的,可能性很低。

榨油率不高,是因为kurnia没有自己的提炼厂,是和官联公司签contract的。
根据一份从网络资源拿到的研究报告指出,官联公司经营的mill,OER不超过20%是普遍现象,这可以解释为什么kurnia的OER不高了。

上市公司的OER是最高的,其次是私人公司(resource-based),再来是官联公司。对于有上市的官联公司而言,他被归类为上市公司。

即使如果kurnia的mill能竣工,对总体公司而言,效果还是不大的,因为kurnia的estate遍布在pahang州,他依然要和官联公司签长约。

kurnia和asiatic一样,是以市价卖出cpo的,他的好处是很容易预测盈利,和透明度高。

“最便宜”的种植股,是处处都有的,比如cepat。
但cepat不是一间好公司,因为cepat所赚的钱没有充分利用,例如最直接方式--股息。
而且cepat的老板喜欢“套杀”散户,这是和朋友讨论的结果,source.
“最便宜”的种植股,有的人认为是TDM,我曾一度认为是leweko(但这种想法只停留了20秒)。
所以说,“最便宜”只是你心中的一个衡量标准,没有一定的答案。


以下是一篇对《彭發展機構》作出的批判新闻,批判内容是相当盲目的,文中说,kurnia setia的亏损(或是累计亏损)为4千万。
与《彭發展機構》有关的公司,有fareast,看看他赚不赚钱才说吧。
或许PKNP是个烂机构,但“乱乱报”的结果是,读者照单全收。



13間子公司僅3間賺 彭發展機構虧掉4.4億
東海岸 2007-04-17 22:24

(關丹訊)彭亨州發展機構(Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Pahang)大虧錢,13間子公司只有3間是賺錢的,累積虧損高達4億4355萬7000令吉!

這筆累積虧損,比彭亨州今年度發展開銷4億3040萬來得高,也是彭亨州政府財政預算案1425萬令吉赤字的40倍。

其中,巴斯迪資源私人有限公司,自成立以來至今,累積的虧損高達3億零741萬令吉,阿斯丹娜高爾夫球渡假有限公司則虧了6420萬令吉。

令人擔憂的是,截止今年度財政年中(2006年上半年或首3個月),7個子公司的財政報告繼續出現虧損,另3個子公司則不獲提供數據。

除了彭亨州發展機構,Mentiga Corporation Berhad、Kurnia Setia Berhad,以及彭亨州信託有限公司(Amanah Saham Pahang Berhad),也是嚴重虧損的州政府公司。

Mentiga Corporation Berhad的累積虧損達1億零577萬令吉,Kurnia Setia Berhad的累積虧損也很驚人,達4000萬令吉,至於另一嚴重虧損的彭亨州信託有限公司,為467萬1016令吉。

大臣:獲州政府1.8億貸款

彭亨州務大臣拿督斯里安南耶谷表示,截至今年3月,州政府給予4個政府機構高達3億1950萬令吉的貸款,其中彭亨州發展機構獲得1億7830萬令吉。

他說,彭亨州信託有限公司則獲得9200萬令吉貸款、彭亨州農工業發展機構獲得4510萬令吉,彭亨州基金局獲410萬。

“彭亨州發展機構的貸款用來發展格賓工業區,以及全彭策略性地點房屋及店屋發展用途。

彭亨州農工業發展機構所獲得的貸款,用作重新安頓勞勿及立卑縣農民,以及雲冰稻米種植計劃。

至於給予彭亨州信託有限公司的9200萬令吉貸款,則用來成立彭亨土著基金,以及重組Mentiga Corporation Berhad。”

盈虧不能衡量效率

他在回答直涼州行動黨州議員梁金福的問題時表示,人民不能從州政府機構的盈虧來衡量效率,相反地,上述機構為人民帶來提供各種社會服務,為發展彭亨州作出努力。

“在這些機構中,有些為教育作出貢獻,也有些為人民提供經商的地方。”

設聯營公司營運農地 嘉隆進軍印尼油棕業

updated:2007-10-04 19:52:37 MYT

(吉隆坡訊)嘉隆發展(TDM,2054)通過聯營方式,進軍印尼油棕種植相關業務,投資成本估計達1億1800萬令吉左右。

該公司發表文告說,該公司經與一印尼伙伴BAPAK H RAHMAN達致一項聯營和股東協議,通過聯營公司攜手在印尼發展油棕園和營運油棕業務。

持有聯營公司80%股權

嘉隆發展持有聯營公司PT RAFI KAMAJAYA ABADI 80%股權,另20%股份則屬BAPAK H RAHMAN。聯營公司的繳足資本達100萬股或共值90億9600萬印尼盾。

聯營公司已經在印尼的西加里曼丹鑒定一塊農業地,面積達1萬公頃,以發展油棕園和營運油棕業務。

聯營計劃的估計投資成本約1億1800萬令吉左右(包括初步的購股計劃),主要通過內部資金和外部貸款融資。

“此項合作計劃,讓我們能夠開拓印尼的油棕種植業機會,並為集團提供成長和強化前景的作用。”

上述聯營計劃不需股東或有關當局的批准,此聯營計劃也延續,直到其中一方或雙方終止此合約為止。 (星洲日報/財經•2007.10.04)

BOUSTEAD Holdings Bhd
The total landbank of the group under cultivation in 2005 was 78,739 ha, out of which oil palm continued to be the predominant crop accounting for 78,238 ha. The group intends to ride on the biofuel trend and has recently announced that it is setting up a joint venture with CTI Biofuels Malaysia LLC on a 55:45 basis to construct and operate a processing plant for the production of palm oil-based biodiesel fuel. The plant is expected to produce five million gallons of biodiesel per year with an estimated project cost of RM24.0 million.

Far East Holdings is a small pure palm oil player with a small plantation size of just around 12,900 hectares. The group is mainly linked to the Pahang State Government through Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Pahang, which has a 19.1% stake in the company. Its other major shareholders are Prosper Trading Sdn Bhd (27.0%) and Lembaga Kemajuan Perusahaan Pertanian Negeri Pahang (9.6%).

The group recently had a one-for-one bonus issue completed in November 2005, which increased its paid-up share capital from RM66.52 million to RM133.10 million. The group has also entered into a joint- venture project with Rangkaian Delima Sdn Bhd to develop 2,833 ha of oil palm plantation land, which is to be fully planted by the middle of 2007.

IJM Plantations Bhd
A small mid-sized player, IJM Plantations Bhd is a pure palm oil player with its estates mainly located in Sabah. The group has also tied up with CTI Biofuels Malaysia LLC to build and operate a biodiesel plant in Sandakan, Sabah, on a 60:40 basis.

IJM currently has a plantation size of only around 25,000 ha. The group is controlled by listed construction giant IJM Corporation Bhd, which owns a 47.9% stake. IJM Corporation is one of the biggest construction players in the country and has also ventured abroad, primarily to India.

Kulim (Malaysia) Bhd

Kulim (Malaysia) Bhd is primarily the plantation arm of the Johor State Government's investment agency, Johor Corporation. Kulim is one of the large mid-sized players in the local plantation sector and has a planted plantation size totalling around 92,000 ha located in Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. The group is also a large oleochemical player, having acquired Natural Oleochemicals Sdn Bhd (NatOleo) back in July 1994. NatOleo today has one of the largest oleochemical plants in a single site in the world.

In February 2006, Kulim also expanded further by entering into a joint- venture agreement with Peter Cremer (Singapore) GmBH for the production of biodiesel. The joint venture will see two biodiesel plants being set up, a 100,000-tonne-per-annum (TPA) facility in Tanjung Langsat, Johor, and another 100,000 TPA facility in Jurong, Singapore. The plants are expected to be operational in the second half of this year.

Kulim has also expanded and diversified out of its core plantation business through the acquisition of QSR Brands Bhd, a leading player in the quick-service restaurant industry, with franchise ownership of the international brands `Pizza Hut' and, via KFC Holdings Bhd, `KFC' and the homegrown brand `Ayamas'. With a general offer completed successfully on Dec 12, 2005, Kulim now has a 52.1% interest in QSR.

Kurnia Setia Bhd

Oil palm plantations remain the core activity of Kurnia Setia Bhd, and will also remain as the major contributor to this pure palm oil player's profitability in the near and medium term. The company is believed to be focusing more on increasing its production of FFB and the expansion of landbank for cultivating more oil palm plantations.

However, in the short term, the group has only a small plantation size of just around 10,000 ha. The group is linked to the Pahang State Government through Lembaga Kemajuan Perusahaan Pertanian Negeri Pahang, which has a controlling 26.9% interest in the company.

Rimbunan Sawit Bhd

Rimbunan Sawit Bhd is a relatively young and small plantation company based in Sarawak. It has only about 13,700 ha of plantation landbank located in Miri, out of which 75% is planted with oil palm. According to a research report from AmResearch, Rimbunan Sawit's FFB yields are below average due to its young trees, although its oil extraction rates are considered decent. Its operating costs are also said to be within industry norms, which the research house believes is partly due to its landbank, which sits on mineral soil compared to the landbanks of some Sarawak-based plantation companies, which are on peat soil.

Rimbunan Sawit is planning to increase its plantation landbank in the future. However, AmResearch says in its report that it believes any injection of landbank by the sister company, Rimbunan Hijau Group Bhd, is unlikely in the coming few years as Rimbunan Hijau's oil palm trees are still very young. Rimbunan Hijau, which is substantially- owned by Rimbunan Sawit's major shareholder Tan Sri Tiong Hiew King, has approximately 180,000 ha of landbank in Sarawak, although out of this amount, only 18% are planted with oil palm. .


TDM Bhd

The TDM group is mainly concentrated in three main divisions, mainly, plantation, healthcare and food. However, plantation is still the main income contributor to the group. For example, the plantation division contributed the bulk of the group's pre-tax profit of around RM22.8 million in financial year (FY)05 at RM17.1 million, with the balance attributed to non-operational income. The other two business divisions of the group are still in the red. TDM has a plantation size of around 26,300 ha, which is still considered small compared to the big plantation players with landbanks of over 100,000 ha each. The group is linked to the Terengganu State Government, with Perbadanan Memajukan Iktisad Negeri Terengganu (32.08%) and Perbadanan Menteri Besar Terengganu (18.6%) having the controlling stakes in the company.

The food division of TDM is focused on its integrated poultry farming. The division is still loss-making, although the results improved from a loss of RM2.1 million in FY04 to a much smaller figure of RM0.4 million in FY05. The production capacity here has increased for its day-old chick production from an average of 3.7 million in FY04 to 3.9 million chicks in FY05.

Meanwhile, the healthcare division of TDM is also loss-making, although the results again improved to a loss of just RM0.9 million in FY05 from RM4.2 million in FY04. The improvement was mainly attributed to increased efficiency of the two hospitals under the division. The group has finalised its plan to open another medical centre in Kuala Terengganu, which is scheduled to start operations in FY06.

TH Plantations Bhd

Just like most of the small plantation companies, TH Plantations Bhd falls into the category of having just less than 20,000 ha of plantation landbank or 16,227 ha to be exact. According to a report from AmResearch, despite the common lack of economies of scale from its small-sized plantations, the group's milling and processing efficiencies are almost on par with the bigger players and above that of the national average.

TH Plantations' landbanks are all located in Peninsular Malaysia, in the states of Pahang, Terengganu and Johor. In the short term, TH Plantations' profit growth would come from enhancements in the crude palm oil price and operational efficiencies resulting from improvements in yields and extraction rates. However, in the longer term, AmResearch believes that excitement in TH Plantations is likely to come from the injection of plantation assets from its parent company, Lembaga Tabung Haji (LTH). LTH is estimated to own 121,773 ha of landbank in Malaysia and Indonesia (excluding TH Plantation's landbank).

Should there be a need to inject size or economies of scale into TH Plantations, analysts say that it is likely that more landbanks are likely to be sourced from the group from LTH in the future.

Tradewinds (M) Bhd

Tradewinds (M) Bhd is primarily involved in two core businesses, ie, sugar refining and plantation. The group's wholly owned subsidiary, Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd, is one of the largest sugar refineries in the country. Meanwhile, the group has a total plantation landbank of 112,096 ha, out of which 77,424 ha or 69.1% is cultivated.

The group undertook a merger acquisition last year where it acquired the plantation business of Johore Tenggara Oil Palm Bhd and the sugar business of Gula Padang Terap Sdn Bhd. The plantation merger, completed early this year, has increased the group's plantation landbank from 112,096 ha to 140,684 ha.
