5) BSTEAD : announced that Boustead Curve SB (BCSB) had on 10th June 2015 entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Phamaniaga Logistic SB (PLSB) in relation to the proposed disposal of a leasehold property comprising a warehouse & an office in S15, Shah Alam for a cash consideration of RM32.32m ( inclusive 6% GST). BCSB is a indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Boustead while PLSB is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharmaniaga Berhad. The land measures 11,762 sqm. The Proposed Disposal will generate a gain on disposal of RM16.5m at the company level of BCSB. However the gain on disposal is eliminated at the group level of BHB. The proceeds from the Proposed Disposal are expected to be utilised for working capital; Neutral - The property has been let to PLSB for the last three years and in line with Pharmaniaga's expansion plans, it would be more prudent to own the Property in order to increase efficiency and to reduce costs of operations for Pharmaniaga. BCSB in turn,would realise cash inflows from the proposed disposal.
 
 
6) Market : The low trading volume, coupled with uninspiring technical readings suggest that buying interests are largely subdued with limited signs of rebound for now. We expect that the key index is likely to continue its sideways trade within the range 1720-1760 in the short term. Focus to remain on export-oriented companies, namely rubber gloves, furniture, selective packaging related counters that will benefit from the strengthening of the USD against MYR.
