Federal - "Thoughts on the market."

Thanks for your response. Bought some at .031 too.

Federal II is contracted to PT ASL a subsidiary of SGX listed ASL Marine for conversion from an Oil Tanker to FSO or floating, storage and offloading vessel. Based on the Q3FY2014 result announcement of ASL Marine. The conversion to FSO has been completed. The following is extracted from ASL Marine Q3FY2014 result announcement.

"As mentioned above, shiprepair and conversion revenue recorded in 3Q FY2014 arose mainly from the completion of the conversion works on a crude oil tanker which had a much lower profit margin compared to the usual shiprepair jobs."

This 2Q, Federal will recognise gains from the disposal of Federal II.

Question is, how much of the US$52 m sale price will be attributable to Federal (which is part of a consortium-owner)?

And the profit to Federal is .....?

Anyone knows?

Based on the circular issued by Federal on the Conversion and disposal of Federal II, the profit or gain from the disposal is minimal, i.e. S$65,000. See page 15, financial effect on EPS.


Before Disposal(S$'000) (1,692)
After Disposal(S$'000) (1,627)
===> Gain of S$65,000

However, what I like about the disposal is for paring down their debt as well as 5+5 cash flow from leasing out the FSO.

Use of Proceed:
"The net proceeds from the Proposed Disposal will be used to repay borrowings (including those referred to in paragraph 5.6 of this Circular) and serve as general working capital for the Group."

3. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS
3.1 The Group has been committed to exploring various charter hire opportunities for the Vessel. The
Group believes that the Proposed Transactions, together with the Project , will be benefi cial to the
Group.

3.2 The Proposed Transactions will enable the Group to improve its cash flow position by realising the
value of the Vessel which has been off-hire since November 2010. The Group’s operating cash fl ow
will also improve as the Group has been incurring expenses to maintain the Vessel even though
the Vessel has been off-hire.

3.3 The carrying value of the Vessel may be subject to further impairment if the Vessel continues to be
off-hire. Further impairment of the carrying value of the Vessel will negatively impact the results of
the Group.

3.4 The Project allows the Vessel to be profi t generating and benefi ts the Group through its interest
in the Buyer. The Project will also allow the Group to seek out appropriate opportunities to further
expand its marine logistics business.

Between March this year and now, Federal has shot up from 1.1 cents to 4 cents. WHY, ah?
