Introduction

It had been 6 months since I started these blog (IVKLS – I Value Kuala Lumpur Stocks). Within these 6 months these blogs had around 12,000 page views. I will like to take this opportunity to thanks the loyal readers of these blog and for those who shared their personal opinions on the stock review.

This blog is started with just only one objective which is to shares my personal stock research to other fellow Malaysia’s Investor. It glows beyond expectation as many emails had been received from the readers as far as from Australia.

Now let sum up the stock reviews for the year 2015.

1) YTLREIT (5109) - YTLREIT:MK

Date	Status	Price	Last Price 2015 (RM)	Accumulate Dividend (RM)	Gain / Loss (%)
21/6/15	SELL	1.03	1.04	0.04	+5.09%
31/8/15	SELL	-	-	-	-

During the year 2015, two stock reviews had been done on YTLREIT. Both of them are on a SELL call.

YTLREIT is 70% owned by YTL Berhad and its subsidiaries. Besides that some of the hotel operators of the hotel owned by YTLREIT are also the major shareholder of YTLREIT which will cause conflict of interest when renews of the new hotel lease term.

One of the reasons for these sell call because there is a RM 1,610,290,000 loans of which RM 821,800,000 is supposed to paid by 23 November 2017 (bullet payments) while the rest will be on June 2020.

YTLREIT had once again postponed their share placement for 800,000,000 new units currently to 29 June 2016. This share placement suspected to be used to pay the loan on 23 November 2017. Once this share placement is executed YTLREIT share will be diluted.

In conclusion, the SELL called in maintained.

* Price last traded during the change of recommendation.

On 28 June 2015, a buy recommendation had make for FIAMMA at price of RM 1.81. The Buy recommendation is called because expecting of increment of sales for the home appliances traded by FIAMMA. Besides that, the property division of FIAMMA is looking good at the time which had many lands in Kuala Lumpur.

However the continue of depreciation of Malaysia Ringgit and the increase of interest rate by FED had cause trouble to FIAMMA. On 11 December 2015, the recommendation for FIAMMA had change from BUY to SELL.

The reasons for the change of recommendation are as followed:

1. FIAMMA had increased their non current borrowing by 22.6 times and current borrowing by 40% as compared to 2014.
2. FIAMMA currently having negative operating cash flow
3. FIAMMA cash and equivalent had reduce by 19.61% as compared to 2014

If these project continue smoothly, these will contributed revenue to MFCB besides the two power plants which revenue of MFCB currently mainly depend on.

MFCB is also planning to issued right and warrant which will dilute the shares of MFCB.

Although MFCB seems to be an undervalue company, however these is not a company to be invest by long term investor because the future of the company after 2017, the end of power plant contract,is still uncertain at the moment. Hence the SELL call still maintains.
