4) Situational:-
BORNOIL +2.56% RM0.80 - Borneo Oil Bhd (BornOil) is raising RM223.4m through a proposed rights issue with free warrants, aimed at expanding its lucrative gold mining activities in Peninsular Malaysia. This would strengthen BornOil’s gold mining activities, which comes under the oil, gas and energy-related business division, the company said. With the exercise, BornOil is optimistic that the net contribution from prospecting and mining works would potentially exceed 25.0% or more of Bornoil Group’s net profit in the near future.
 
5) GTB
1Q Mar 2015    Tover +6.3% RM88.7m    Net +21.6% RM17.2m EPS 6.1sen
 
                    13% below cons(f) RM79m
 
The company achieved improved earnings numbers based on better volume loading from most of its customer base in LED, Crystal timing devices, sensor and optical products. This also helped in achieving better economies of scale. 1Q Capex recorded a total of RM22.3m which we understand is primarily to further expand its sensor product line up which should be reflected in the 2H 2015.
The successful roll out of new applications for its sensor product will become the new earnings driver for the group in the immediate future.
+ve accumulate on weakness.
 
 
6) Market: Profit taking triggered by the pull back in the US likely to continue ahead of a holiday shortened week. Immediate CI support seen at the 1830pts levels.
