Sing Holdings

Not vested. From Phillips:-

Sing Holdings – Results (Alfred Low)
Recommendation: Hold (Maintain)
Previous close: S$0.335
Fair value: S$0.34

• Property sales. We met the management of Sing Holdings for an update on the company. It mentioned that
it achieved sales of 92%, or 47 out of 51 units, for BelleRive (at Keng Chin Road) at an average selling price
of S$1,382 per square foot (psf). Most of the buyers are residents in the surrounding areas. This project will
be completed in 4Q09. The revenue will be recognized in FY2009F and FY2010F. For this project, the
selling price came in within our expectations of S$1,380 psf.

• Maintain HOLD recommendation, fair value raised from S$0.30 to S$0.34. Due to higher expected
selling prices and lower construction costs of the Laurels, the RNAV of Sing Holdings increases from S$0.42
to S$0.48. Applying a discount of 30% to the RNAV, we derive the fair value of S$0.34 for the stock.

The share price of Sing Holdings has more than trebled from its low of S$0.10 in April 2009. We feel that there is limited upside to the stock price. Therefore, we maintain our hold recommendation on the stock.

2Q10 result

http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/ ... penelement


This project consists of 229 units with a total saleable area of approximately 253,000 square feet. As at the date of this announcement, approximately 84% of the units have been sold. Total sales proceeds amounting to about S$574.4 million will be recorded progressively based on construction progress. Another development project, “BelleRive” at Keng Chin Road is about 94% sold as at the date of this
announcement. Proceeds from these sales of about S$94.9 million are recorded progressively based on construction progress.


The Group reported a profit attributable to shareholders of S$0.4 million for 1H2010. Whilst only 3% of the gross profit of The Laurels was recognised in 1H2010 based on construction progress, sales and marketing expenses incurred and showflat costs attributable to the sold units amounting to S$6.0 million were fully expensed in 1H2010.

(Ps: Should start to see a jump in earning from the 3rd quarter forward with no sales and marketing expenses to pull down the figures)

Hi ichew,

just to share with you some good news. When I last access URA's website on Sunday, it showed only 1 unit sold in July 2010 at price of $3300++psf(yes price keep inching up) and a total of 185 units if I am not wrong. Today announcement said that they have sold 84% of the units meaning 191/192 units out of 229 units and that they must have sold another 6-7 units in the past 2 weeks and I bet at a good price.


They also sold another unit of Bellerive I guessed. My guess is that they maybe conservative in future outlook so they are not aggressive in bidding hence they have sold some of their office units which is to my surprise

Sing Holding has finally replenished its land bank via en-bloc purchase of properties at 3 Robin Drive “Robin
Court” and 1 Robin Drive, Singapore (the “Property”). The total purchase price for the
Property is S$77.33 million, which works out to approximately S$1,363 per square foot per
plot ratio.

Total size of the land acquired after considered the plot ratio of 1.4x is 56,726 psf. The expected breakeven price
is $1,900 psf ~ 2,000 psf based on my calculation of construction cost of $450 psf. It's nearer MRT is steven
MRT station which will be completed in 2016. Will it be another "The Laurels"?
