Something to add.
If you read their 2004 financial report you will see they reported a NAV of ~$2.40(b4 revaluation).
If you minus all the non-income generating assets its book value comes up to about $1.90.

I think its a good buy!

My action :
I will buy when it drops slightly this week. Preferably $2.10-$2.15.

Also in the AR, as part of divestment, they issued come coupons for UOB shares with a strike price of $15.3+ expiring in Sep 2005.Fully subscribed by instituitional and sophisticated investor. IF u are holding UOB perhaps a reason why u should just hold it a bit longer.

Hotel Plaza Limited (HPL) is a subsidiary of United Overseas Land Limited (UOL). It has announce it second quarter result. Extracted from the Report:
Compared to the corresponding period in 2004, the group revenue in the 2Q05 increased by $4.8 million or 8% to $63.6 million. For the six months ended 30 June 2005, the group made a net after tax profit of $17.4 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 51% as compared to $11.5 million in the corresponding period in 2004.

Comment: It can consider a positive news for UOL as Singapore properties contribute almost 62% of the group turnover in the last year. Hopefully, it will continue and contribute a higer turnover for UOL this year.
