Someone suggested I post this here as well

A Look at NLFCS Subsidiaries and Associate Companies
The blog might take a bit longer to load now that I have uploaded a lot of PDF files.
I have gone to the Syarikat Suruhjaya Malaysia to get this information which is available online at http://www.ssm-einfo.com.my for Rm$15 per company.
The subsidiaries are as listed here
http://www.nlfcs.com.my/subsidiary.html and http://nalfin.com/structure.htm
To view the documents at full size just click on the square box on the right or on the yellow circle on the left and then the square box on the right, to see a full size image.
Let me start going through these companies by the order I posted the information/pdf files.
I will just be highlighting mainly the Profit and Loss account, the rest of the info, balance sheet, charges and the officers and directors you can see for yourself on the blog; they are all familiar names most of the time.
The accounts are the latest available to the Syarikat Suruhjaya Malaysia, so in some cases they are for 31-12-06 (one case for 31-12-05) and in others 31-12-07. I have no idea why the 2007 accounts have not been filed for some of these companies yet. I believe they have till the end of June.
If there are no percentages beside the company name, then it is a 100% subsidiary.
The figures are as the PDF file's, the only calculation I have included is the Net Profit Margin
The Unappropriated Profit/Loss Carried Forward is simply in most cases the Unappropriated Profit/Loss Brought Forward + Net Profit/Loss or Minority Interest + Net Dividend
Lava Protocols Sdn Bhd (40% Associate)

Net Profit Margin : None
Unappropriated Profit Brought Forward : 0
Unappropriated Profit Carried Forward : -42,839
Wira Konsep Sdn Bhd [Even thought officially it says that this is a 49% associate, my calculations of its shareholdings (Nalfin Realities owns 140,000 shares out of 200,000) put it at a 70% subsidiary].

Not sure how they made such a profit with such a low Operating Revenue Figure. If I can surmise, it is likely from extraordinary gains from the sale of an asset.
Conclusion
In a lot of cases the initial investment (Paid Up Capital) has been wiped out (Wira Konsep, Apollo Medical Centre, Apollo TTDI Medical Centre and Status Point) or close to being wiped out Nalfin Healthcare (Loss Carried Forward of 8.9m vs 9.1m of Paid Up Capital).
In most cases the Net Profit Margin is nonexistent or very, very low.
A lot of the companies have the same key directors (This is also true of Malim Sawit Sdn Bhd, Premium Vegetable Oils Sdn Bhd and Premium Fats Sdn Bhd which are all 100% subsidiaries of Premium Nutrients Berhad which acts as the listed holding company). I think this is pretty unhealthy as it breeds complacency and a lack of accountability. It makes them beholden to each other. On average the directors of these companies have been there for 7 years except Status Point where they have been there for 10 years. It may be a positive or negative thing, but just by looking above you can see that some of these companies have been loss-making for some time (see the Unappropriated Profit Carried Forward figure) and the remaining companies have pretty threadbare profits, so they have been in charge through all this time.
A long hard look has to be taken at the Healthcare business and the Profit Margin's have to be improved in the other business's, otherwise it will not take much for these companies to tip over into loss-making concerns or alternate between loss-making and profit-making indefinitely.
And of course, there should be more accountability over all these investments. |
