MK Land Holdings Bhd hit RM1 billion in sales

PROPERTY developer MK Land Holdings Bhd (8893)expects to hit RM1 billion in sales in the near term as it grows double-digit annually over the next five years.

In the shorter haul, MK Land expects sales to breach RM600 million next year, buoyed by the Armanee Terrace condominiums and Rafflesia, two core products within its Damansara Perdana township in Selangor.

This should reflect further progress in the company’s fortune after the return of Tan Sri Mustapha Kamal Abu Bakar.

MK Land, in which Mustapha Kamal holds a majority stake, slipped into the red in the years ended June 2007 and 2008 on extra costs incurred because of errant contractors.
It was the period when Mustapha Kamal stepped down as executive chairman from April 2007.

His return as chief executive officer in June 2008 made an instant impact as the company turned in a net profit of RM13.2 million for the nine months to March 2009, reversing the loss of RM18 million a year ago.

MK Land is due to announce its recently-ended 2009 accounts on August 28, with Mustapha Kamal only hinting that he was happy with the result. He is more bullish over MK Land’s near to medium-term outlook.

“Instead of concentrating on other areas of our developments, we are focusing on the Damansara Perdana township.

“There are three major projects there - the Armanee Terrace, Rafflesia and Metropolitan Square. The projects alone will generate sales of about RM3.5 billion over five years,” he said after the handing over ceremony of eight Modenas Elegant motorcycles to the Selangor police yesterday.

Objektif utama mengumpulkan modal itu ialah untuk membolehkan XL mengekalkan kefleksibelan kewangan dan mengekalkan satu kunci kira-kira dan profil kredit yang kukuh, kata Axiata dalam kenyataannya di sini hari ini.

“Jumlah yang dikumpul itu bertujuan memastikan syarikat itu dilengkapi sepenuhnya bagi mencatatkan pertumbuhan jangka panjang,” katanya.

“Sebagai pemegang saham terbesar, kami komited memastikan pertumbuhan jangka panjang XL dan sememangnya percayai terhadap potensinya,” kata Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Axiata, Datuk Seri Jamaludin Ibrahim.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian tycoon Ananda Krishnan is set to restructure his premier satellite television operator, Astro All Asia Networks, in a RM9 billion (S$3.9 billion) transaction that will rank as the region’s largest corporate exercise so far this year.

Under the proposed corporate deal, Astro’s two main shareholders - the Ananda-controlled private investment company Usaha Tegas and Malaysia’s state-owned Khazanah Holdings - will acquire the satellite television company’s fledgling and still unprofitable international business interests.

The planned hive-off of its international business will turn the Malaysian-listed Astro into a clean entity that will house its profitable domestic operations, bankers close to the transaction told The Straits Times.
