(ENGDS) Project. The contract involves coating of approximately 250 km of

completed by the second quarter of 2014. The contract is expected to contribute
positively to the earnings of WSC Group over the contract period & is
project specific and is not renewable; A timely win for Waseong, after it's
poor showing in 1HY. Market is anticipating a stronger 2HFY13. Backed by an
orderbook of MYR1.7bn, we believe that the company should perform better in
2HFY13 supported by i) its recent maiden project in Europe, ie the Statoil
project, valued at MYR611.3m, ii) further potential contract win on the
domestic front (ie North Malay Basin) iii) a recovery in its engineering
division. We continue to like the company for its leadership in pipe-coating
and corrosion protection service.

value of RM120.7m. These are for the supply of offshore cranes with deliveries
expected from Q2 2014 to early 2015. The above contracts are expected to
contribute positively to the earnings and net assets of FFB for the financial
year ending 31 December 2013 and beyond; +ve, will bring OB to RM952m. Although
1HY13 results were trailing, we expect the 2H13 to be better, backed by a
strong orderbook, of which majority is for the oil & gas segment. We
believe that revenue is likely to improve in 2H13 as these cranes will likely
be delivered towards the end of the year. Trading at FY14 PER of less than 8x,
it does look attractive when compared to the O&G average PER of c15x, although
a discount is warranted given it's size; Accumulate.
6) MARKET : may

short-term market technical are overbought; stocks still attractive are
DRBHCOM, Unisem, Benelac & UOADev.
