Strong Demand Drives 1QFY08 Net Recurrent Income Up By 270 Percent
Ezra is on a down trend now. TA not looking good for any reversal anytime soon.
At least there is tax free dividend to keep me happy at this moment.

Pinnacle, I will probe them on that plus much more. I think it's important to get a feel from Management on what they think they can achieve in the next few financial years, then compare it with their actual results. In that way, you can tell if Management had been too optimistic, or if they had gone awfully wrong (or right !). It takes foresight and a lot of planning to build a business right, and ultimately we as shareholders have to trust the Management can carry out this duty.
I will need to read through their Annual Report before I can crystallize my thoughts and questions. I will update my blog once I have more ideas on what to ask them.
Cheers....

Agreed with musicwhiz5... For a company nature of Ezra, growth is more important than dividend.
I will not be attending the AGM though, but maybe you can probe them on the bobo they had done which resulted in cancellation of the sharebuy back transaction last month.
I have a lot of questions for Ezra's Management come AGM. Their AGM is on 24th December Christmas Eve at 10:00 a.m. I have yet to fully digest the Annual Report as I should receive it in the mail this evening, so I guess there will be more questions on their future plans, industry characteristics and their competitive edge.
The share buy-back should be approved, but MAnagement should act on it only if they have sufficient FCF for operations.
The dividend is not too important in my opinion, just a small sweetener from the company. More important is the growth of the company in the next 3-5 financial years.
Today first day of "CD". Its tax-exempt dividend of 3.55c. Looks very petty at 1% yield based on current share price.
Nevertheless, on up and coming AGM, Share buyback resolution should and will normally approve and give more value back to shareholders.
Will continue to hold Ezra until full potential value is reached.
DBS Vickers is still releasing reports on Ezra with Buy call.
Based on current chart, consolidation is ending soon and a breakout may happen within a few days.
Ezra remains bullish as OCBC had recommended buy with TP of $4.02, although TA beg to differ.

Maintain Buy, with TP of S$4.00.

aiya Y worry so much, just put a cfd short
Thanks pinn.
Feeling a little queasy with Ezra's reply. Typically, a "technical error" is given
as an excuse for "we don't know what's the cause" or "just to deflect a question with a dead-beat answer".
The share price has gone down to $3.48 today. Let's see if Ezra buyback again today.
Talking C*ck......This type of reply my 5 years old son also know how to write...What technical error? I never heard of such problems....Trying to fool us....
Following is the reply from Ezra.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We refer to your email below on the announcement to cancel certain shares from the share buyback.
On 29th August 2007, Ezra obtained approval from shareholder in an EGM to acquire back its own shares to be held as Treasury shares. We started the process of acquiring the shares in mid-November. Under the SGX listing requirement, a listed company is required to make immediate announcement in the event of share buyback. The announcement 0006 and 00018 was made for that purpose. However, we were subsequently informed by the broker that there was a technical error encountered in the two transactions and the two transactions need to be cancelled. Announcement 00133 made on the 16 November was to announce the effect of the cancellation.
There is no change in the total number of shares issued.
We hope this answer your concerns and thank you for your support of Ezra.
Thank you and warmest regards
Tan Tat Ming

Ezra Holdings Limited
