Tai Sin Electric - My CNAV Analysis

Just recently, a friend of mine text me and share with me a "Kang Tao" (Hokkien for opportunity) counter, a small cap company called Tai Sin Electric Ltd (500.SI). Of course, the first thing I do is to do my due diligent and dig in further. 

Hence this post on Tai Sin Electronics' CNAV analysis.

Tai Sin Electric is an investment holding company, manufactures, trades in, and distributes cable and wire products. The company operates in Cable & Wire, Switchboard, Electrical Material Distribution, Test & Inspection, and Others segments. It primarily operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The company was founded in 1980, listed in SESDAQ in 1998 and subsequently transferred to the SGX Main Board in 2015.

The Key Quantitative Indicators of CNAV Strategy (Basing on the 2015 Annual Report):

Net Asset Value (NAV) = $0.35
Conservative Net Asset Value (CNAV2) = $0.137

Tai Sin Electric is not a CNAV stock but worth a second look for potential income play. 

Are you vested on this counter? What is your take?

Cheers!

Note : Do You Own Due Diligence!

P/S:
I've learnt this not-difficult-to-do calculation from the Value Investing Mastery Course (Big Fat Purse) last year. Immediately after the one day course, I am on my own to calculate the CNAV myself. With the help of the idiot-proof spreadsheet (provided free after the course), it makes calculating the CNAV a breeze.

Oh, by the way, they are still conducting the one-full-day Value Investing Master Course at $98, which is unbelievable. From what I know, most of their classes, which usually happen on the weekend, are fully booked. So, if you are interested to learn more about Value Investing and how to calculate the CNAV, you should find out more from the horse's mouth!
