Pertama holdings[Harvey Norman]may be privatized

A flurry of activities recently by the Holding Company in Australia to consolidate its shareholdings cheered its shareprice.

A privatization is in the cards, because

1) The holding company and family trust controls almost 70% after bought out 17% from a key shareholder for $0.65 a piece. Plus around 9% by FMR LLC, the public shareholding is less than 13%. The company will also need to buyout the 40 % shareholder in Harvey Norman Ossia from Ossia International Ltd.

2)Pertama Holdings’s profits recovered in 2010 after the financial crisis. Profits even increased last quarter despite having opened a new outlet in 1 Mont Kiara which costed between RM5-10 million.

3)Harvey Norman Holdings has bought out some associates’ interest in Australia. It has also bought out 30% share in a company in Malaysia from a shareholder.

CapitaMalls Asia converts China development fund to an income fund, increase fund size, expand due date

This action is akind to the BBs telling you that either
1)the asset is not ready to be injected yet, because the asset prices has not peaked
2)they are stretched in China to improve their malls' NPI and ROI, so they want you to wait a little longer and they will compensate you with dividend at the mean time

This will surely affect the asset injection pipeline into CapitaRetail China Trust.

Thomson Medical Centre Pt 2

I foresee a medical cluster at Stulang Laut, JB which consists of
Thomson Medical Centre(birth delivery, post natal), and
TMC Life Sciences(fertility consultation) in the spirit of one shop station(一站式/一条龙 in Mandarin) where usually the producer would capture the upstream and downstream profits by being involved in both.

prices will be about 20-40% lower compared to when it is done in Singapore
why Stulang Laut, why not Kempas Baru or Impian Emas or Bukit Indah?
My opinion is that it is likely that there would be only one stop for the MRT extension from Singapore to Malaysia by the Singapore side. Putting it in Stulang Laut will enable it to capture the patient from Indonesia and beyond besides Singapore. Also, it will be nearer to Singapore compared to the other medical centres. e.g. Columbia, KPJ and other upcoming specialist medical centres.

NLA efficiency

NLA efficiency is the ratio between NLA(net lettable area) and GFA(gross floor area). The more efficient it is, the more packed the mall/building is, unless the management/developer is smart enough to deflect some of it thru creative use of round/honeycomb/dome shape structure or water fountain or some other attractions.
