Important Factor for today:-

• Singapore eDevelopment is planning to issue listed and secured perpetual bonds of up to $300 million with an 8% annual coupon and a share of annual profits of property development projects to be funded, as well as a 100-to-one consolidation of its shares, to accelerate its strategy for corporate recovery.
• With a moneylender's license in hand, ValueMax can now officially accept a wider range of collateral, especially properties. This business segment may be a new growth driver, with high margins of about +70%. We expect ValueMax to add about SGD25m in loans for this segment from now until FY15 - which would boost our FY15F NPAT by 17% to SGD16.7m.
• ISOTeam's FY14 PATMI of SGD6.1m beat our earnings estimates by 43%, representing c.100% y-o-y growth (excluding one-off disposal gains in FY13). Growth outlook remains strong as R&R and A&A segment growth may be driven by government initiatives to rejuvenate mature housing estates and refurbish schools. We raise PATMI estimates for FY15F/16F by 33%/43%. Maintain BUY with raised DCFbased TP of SGD0.77.
• OSIM's results were mostly in line with our expectations. 2Q14 was a slightly softer quarter due to the challenging retail conditions in South Asia, in our view. Nonetheless, its net profit of SGD29.5m still marked a record quarter, and is a testament to the company'sgrowing all-round strength. We are excited about the company's plans for the rest of the year and maintain BUY, with our TP still at SGD3.85.
• AusNet Services is facing two new class actions in relation to bushfires that occurred in February 2014 in Yarram and Mickleham.
• Wilmar International said on Thursday that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) will not oppose plans by the company and First Pacific to buy Goodman Fielder for S$1.7 billion.
• Singapore mutual fund investors want a stream of income from their investments and have a stronger home bias than regional investors. These were the main takeaways from an online survey of 300 investors here, commissioned by Prudential's Asia asset management arm East spring Investments.
