x 0 Ezra’s target price raised to $2.54 by CLSA, maintains buy

17.Dec.09
CLSA is maintaining Ezra Holdings (5DN.SG) at buy, raising its target price to $2.54 from $2.10
after upgrading its FY10, FY11 earnings forecasts by 10%, 11%, respectively, to factor in higher
margins and lower finance costs.

The brokerage says the offshore support services company is “poised to ride the growth in deepwater
exploration and surging demand for attendant subsea services” as it will take delivery of three subsea
vessels in 2010.

Although Ezra has not secured contracts for its subsea vessels, CLSA does not think this should be an
issue given strong demand and quality of its assets. But it says the company’s execution in the subsea
business will be key as its switch to focus on deepwater exploration gathers pace.

CLSA adds that Ezra’s valuation remains reasonable with PE premium to peers justified by strong track
record of execution, stock still trading below five-year average PE, price/book multiples.

DBS 25.Nov.09
Our sum-of-parts based TP for Ezra has been raised to S$2.77

http://www.nextview.com/sor/

Introduction to Extended Settlement (ES) Contracts ( http://www.sgx.com/wps/portal/marketplace/mp-en/products/securities_products/extended_settlement)
An Extended Settlement (ES) contract is a contract between two parties, to buy or sell (a) a specific quantity (eg. 1000 shares) of (b) a specific underlying (eg. SIA) at (c) a specific price (eg. $19.70) for settlement at (d) a specific future date (eg. last business day of the month) when the contract matures or expires.

ES contracts have fixed expiry dates (about 35 days from listing date) and there is no need for daily settlement, as the contract is settled on maturity.

Benefits of Trading Extended Settlement (ES) Contracts

a) More efficient use of capital
When investors enter into an ES contract, they only need to put up a margin, which is a small fraction of the full contract value. This allows investors to free up cash as margins allow them to trade multiple exposure. As compared to margin financing which provides 3 times leverage, ES contracts can provide you with higher leverage ranging mostly from 5 times to 20 times depending on the volatility of the security.

b) Ease of Taking Short Positions
If investors hold a bearish view of the market, ES contracts will allow you the oppportunity to gain from downward movements of stock prices by taking short positions. The transactional costs are greatly reduced as compared to borrowing shares for gaining a short exposure unless you hold your position until settlement.

c) Risk management and hedging
The aim of using contracts, like ES contracts, in risk management or hedging is either to achieve price certainty by locking in prices in advance or to protect against adverse price impact on the value of one’s assets. Hedgers can aim to reduce price risk by buying ES contracts to create a long hedge or selling ES contracts to create a short hedge.

d) Longer view of market
Investors have more than one month to offset their positions. In comparison to the ready market, this will allow investors to take a longer view of the market.

e) Greater flexibility to structure investment strategies
ES contracts also offer investors unique trading opportunities such as calendar spreads and stock spreads.

f) Arbitraging
ES contracts will provide opportunities for arbitraging between the ES contracts and the ready market.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risk of Trading Extended Settlement (ES) Contracts

a) Leveraging
The leverage exposure provided by ES contract can lead to substantial losses. If the market moves against the investor, the losses suffered from trading ES contract will be greater in percentage terms of the initial cost or capital outlay needed to enter into an ES contract position, ie., the margin deposit, against the price movement in the underlying asset.

b) Overexposure and overtrading
There is a danger that investors tend to look only at the margin required and often fail to appreciate and take into account the full contract value. This can result in overexposure when investors trade in a large number of contracts, which may be significantly beyond their financial resources.

c) Margin Calls
If the market moves against the investor, the losses will be debited from the margin account. This is done on a daily basis. If the margin account falls below the required margin, a margin call will be initiated which requires a top–up back to the initial margin + variable margin, or to reduce the number of open contracts. Failing which, the broker may force–liquidate the position.

d) Buying–in
Should an investor hold a short ES contract position till expiration, he or she is obligated to physically deliver the stock for settlement. If an investor does not have the required shares in his or her account on the due date (the third market day following the expiration date), CDP will buy–in shares on the market to satisfy the delivery obligation.

Buying–in starts the day after the settlement day (LTD+4). The buying-in bid price, as determined by CDP, will be 2 minimum bids above the highest of the closing price of the previous day, the reference transacted price or the reference bid price. The reference transacted price and the reference bid price will be any of the last transacted prices and bid prices in the 1 hour preceding the commencement of buying-in, as determined by CDP. In addition to the current processing fee for buying-in, there will be a penalty of 5% of the value of the failed trade subject to a minimum of $1,000".

x 0 SMRT Corporation Ltd: Riding high
Fair value : S$2.05

As the operator of the Circle Line, we expect SMRT to capture higher train ridership as remaining
stages of the line are progressively opened for operations from 2010 onwards. We believe a rising
population and key events such as the opening of the Integrated Resorts would continue to drive
SMRT’s transport services. For non-fare revenue, we are also optimistic that SMRT would likely
turn in higher rental revenue amid larger lettable rental space from new refurbishments.

We continue to like SMRT its defensive nature, consistently strong dividend payouts and operating
cash flows. In view of market’s reduced risk aversion, we now raise our DDM-based fair value to
S$2.05 from S$1.92 previously. While operating expenses are likely to trend upwards with the
ramp-up in the CCL and higher electricity contract rates, we expect SMRT to uphold its profitability
amid higher expected ridership and rental revenue.

Maintain BUY.

Sinotel secures market maker for ADRs

Sinotel Technologies today announced that Hudson Securities
has officially been granted approval by the US financial
industry regulatory authority (FINRA) to act as the market
maker for Sinotel's American Depository Receipts ("ADRs")
with effect from December 11, 2009. This milestone finally
marks the successful completion of Sinotel's ADR journey in
the US. To recap, we had highlighted the potential listing and
trading of Sinotel's ADRs as a key positive catalyst for the
stock in our recent initiation report.

Now that Sinotel has secured the market maker for ADRs, they
can start trading on OTC in US. The ADR provides a platform
for the company to attract global investors as it shields them
from time difference, cross border transaction fees and
currency exchange fees. The availability of the ADRs is likely to
improve trading liquidity, and hopefully, help to reduce its
valuation gap with Hong Kong and New York listed peers.
Thus, we maintain our BUY call, TP unchanged at S$0.88.

Another fund-tastic deal
• Hyflux has formed a JV with Japan’s JGC Corp (JGC)
to co-fund water projects in China. For a start, Hyflux
will divest its Tianjin desalination plant into the JV

• Funding aside, Hyflux can leverage on JGC’s strong
presence in MENA to expand into bigger scale IWPP

• This is positive for Hyflux’s asset light strategy to maintain
sustainable growth ahead

• Expects S$12m gain from Tianjin divestment and USD63m
proceeds to lower gearing to 0.46x from 0.76x

Maintain Buy with TP: S$3.70.
As we have assumed the gain to be booked in FY09, there is
minimal change to our FY10 earnings and thus no impact on TP.
However, we see scope for earnings upside in FY10 should there
be further asset divestments, which we have not accounted for in
our forecast.

x 0 EOC AWARDS KEPPEL SHIPYARD S$104M CONTRACT TO CONVERT FPSO

SINGAPORE, 10 December 2009
EOC Limited (EOC or the Group), an Asian-based provider of offshore oil and gas support services,
has awarded Keppel Shipyard Limited (Keppel Shipyard), a subsidiary of Keppel Offshore & Marine
Limited (Keppel O&M), a S$104 million contract to convert a floating production, storage and
offloading (FPSO) unit.

Under this contract, Keppel Shipyard will convert a 168,000 deadweight tonne (dwt) Suezmax oil tanker
into an FPSO unit that can produce up to 50,000 barrels of oil per day and have a storage capacity of
about 680,000 barrels of oil. The unit will be leased to Premier Oil Vietnam Offshore B.V. (Premier Oil)
for the development of the Chim Sao field, as part of the US$1 billion contract that the Group clinched
in October.

Mr Lim Kwee Keong, EOC's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We selected Keppel Shipyard because our
emphasis has always been on not just meeting our clients' expectations, but exceeding them. We have
enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Keppel Shipyard, who executed our first FPSO project successfully
and safely. We look to continue our relationship with Keppel Shipyard as we execute our plans for
growing our number of premium FPSOs in the region."

This FPSO conversion is the second that the Group has awarded Keppel Shipyard; the first was for the
Lewek Arunothai. The conversion will include refurbishment and life extension works; accommodation
upgrades; the fabrication and installation of topside modules and a turret mooring system, a flare tower,
a helideck and pipe racks; tank coating work; structural steel additions; and new piping systems. It will
also feature an internal turret designed by EOC's associate company, London Marine Consultants(LMC).

Under the Chim Sao contract, the converted vessel will be tied to Premier Oil for up to 12 years. The
project is worth up to US$527 million for the primary term of six years, and up to another US$477 million
if all of the six one-year options are exercised. EOC will be operating the FPSO unit with a Vietnamese
partner to perform oil and natural gas liquids processing as well as water injection at the field. Production
is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2011.

On prospects for the Group given the current industry outlook, Mr Lim said: "We expect to see growing
demand for FPSOs globally as oil prices remain firm and global oil majors look to increase their capital
expenditure. In addition, we continue to see a steady stream of enquiries for our other assets, such as the
Lewek Champion, our heavy-lift pipelay vessel, which we expect to be fully deployed over the medium term."
