current assets alone is around 16cts a share, but share trading at 5 cts 70% discount to current assets. I don't see What is not conservative abt this investment.

I think it depends on the probabilities that one assigns to the current assets, or maybe call it writedown factor. That way, then can make more meaningful comparisons with other net net companies. For singapore companies, probably can find discounts of around 30 to 40% discount to net net.

More net net in HK. E.g. CDL's City E-solutions. Let me tell you first,
then wont be paying the cash out OR liquidating their M&C shares.

Anyway, even more in HK if you count investment properties as current assets (like what Third Ave practices)

The Audit Committee (“AC”) noted that the agreed upon procedures (“AUP”) report had stated the following (see the announcement on Update On Independent Review Into The Losses Suffered By The Group released via SGXNET to SGX-ST on 18 September 2015):
a. although Bohai Bank in Jinan City had in their written bank confirmation received by post, confirmed that the Group's bank balance as at 30 June 2015 was RMB 335 million (which was in the form of pledged time deposits), Bohai Bank's confirmation did not indicate whether there were any banking facilities granted to the Group and whether the Group had used any banking facilities by 30 June 2015;
b. on the other hand, Management had advised that the RMB 335 million in time deposits in Bohai Bank had been pledged for banking facilities of an equivalent amount, and such arrangement was made for the Group to apply for letters of credit, when necessary, for the purpose of overseas procurement of soybeans. However, the banking facilities were not utilised as the Group had suspended the importation of soybeans;
c. as a result, during the course of the AUP, there was a proposal to conduct a second visit to Bohai Bank to further seek clarification from Bohai Bank regarding the banking facilities, and also to obtain the bank statements from the bank on the spot, which was not achieved during the first visit to Bohai Bank due to a lack of sufficient authorisation documents required by the bank. However, Management took the view that a second visit to Bohai Bank was not necessary as the banking facilities were not utilised because the Group had suspended the importation of soybeans.
Although Management had advised that the Group’s borrowings and debt securities were “NIL” as at 30 September 2015, the AC noted that there has not been sufficient independent verification to confirm that the Group did not utilise the banking facilities (of up to RMB 335 million) granted by Bohai Bank against the RMB 335 million in pledged time deposits at the said bank. The AC will direct the external auditors to pay special attention to this Bohai bank account during the year-end audit.

Even though I cut lost much earlier, still lost a fortune on this. many others of the WS days lost too, even Value Partners and I read later on without specifically identifying them said they had been fooled too. Even Curtis went to their plant and checked and still fooled.

I remembered 1 AGM where they booked the meeting room for only 1hr! When there were so many questions raised and running out of time the Chairman said don't worry they will be outside to answer all SH questions. guess what, after the meeting, they disappeared.

MP on boards are a dime a dozen. Don't count on them. if it is an ex-minister then different story.

I am amazed that tis co is still around. i tot it would go the way of china milk,celestial etc.

11 years on, I believe no1 is surprised anymore. Smile

United Food says it will be delisted for failing to address issues raised in auditor’s report

UNITED Food Holdings clarified on Wednesday (Aug 21) that Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) would delist it for its failure to address the concerns raised in an Aug 5 special report by its auditors, KPMG.

United Food said that because it was unable to address those concerns, and also because it fell short of the criteria to exit the watch list, SGX RegCo would delist it.

Hi weijian,

I was surprised though. After the fallout from their soya bean business last time, I am surprised that they still acquired two subsidiaries in 2017? Unfortunately (or Predictably?), these two subsidiaries failed as well.

Now with directed delisting by SGX, I guess it would be game over soon.
