Compact Metal losses were legacy issues before Chng Gim Huat came into the picture in 2007 to take a majority stake...otherwise i think Compact Metal and its shareholders would have game over then... His sons, Alex Chng and Beng Hua, are listed as directors...  http://docplayer.net/132772044-Compact-metal-industries-ltd-has-over-the-years-established-itself-as-one-of-the-leaders-in-the-aluminium-industry.html Chng Gim Huat sold off his stake to chinese investor in 2014 and now have transformed to ICG...

Went to do some research...they are brothers... Directors of ICG, Vibropower and Vibrant raise shareholdings in respective firms The Edge Singapore Published on Fri, Aug 21, 2020 / 6:30 AM GMT+8 Chng Beng Hua, executive director of International Cement Group (ICG) that owns cement plants in Central Asia, recently acquired 2.5 million shares from the open market. On Aug 7, he acquired 1.5 million shares for $37,500, which works out to an average of 2.5 cents each. On Aug 11, he acquired another one million shares for $42,150, or a significantly higher price of 4.215 cents each. Chng now holds a direct stake of 14.5 million shares. He is deemed to be interested in another five million shares, four million of which are held under his wife&rsquo s name, and one million held under CPF. Chng therefore has a total of 19.5 million shares, which works out to 0.34%. ICG used to be known as Compact Metal Industries, before Ma Zhaoyang, chairman and executive director, took control by injecting his cement interests into the listed entity and became the controlling shareholder. He now owns a stake of around 80%. On Aug 6, ICG reported earnings of $6 million for the 1HFY2020 ended June, up 23% y-o-y. Revenue in the same period was up 9% y-o-y to $63.1 million. The higher revenue was led by higher sales of cement in Tajikistan, but partially offset by lower revenue generated by the aluminium division, which was hit by the &ldquo circuit breaker&rdquo measures in Singapore which put a halt to most construction activities. As at June 30, the company&rsquo s net asset value per share was 3.6 cents, up slightly from 3.58 cents as at Dec 31, 2019. Cash and cash equivalents came in at about $20 million. Last year, the company tried to acquire a cement business in Africa in a deal worth just over US$100 million ($137 million) but the Singapore Exchange (SGX0 refused to give its approval.   Brothers in arms Meanwhile, Chng Beng Hock, brother of Beng Hua, was himself busy acquiring shares in another company. Beng Hock used to be a director at Compact Metal and he is also a substantial shareholder of Vibropower Corporation. On Aug 13, Beng Hock acquired 23,700 Vibropower shares for 13.8 cents each. He now holds 3.66 million shares directly and is deemed interested in another two million shares under Phillip Securities. That brings his total stake to some 5.66 million shares, or 10.502%, up from 10.458% previously. Before the latest transaction, Beng Hock had acquired 30,300 shares for 13.9 cents each on Aug 12 46,400 shares for 14.3 cents each on Aug 11 48,200 shares for 14.37 cents each on Aug 4 and 10,200 shares for 14.39 cents each on Aug 1. He had bought steadily during last month as well. On Aug 14, Vibropower reported losses in 1HFY2020 ended June widened to $1.38 million from $24,000 in 1HFY2019. Revenue in the same period was down 64.4% y-o-y to $2.77 million, due to lower revenue from both its project and powerplant businesses. As at June 30, Vibropower&rsquo s net asset value per share stood at 25.87 cents, down from 38.31 cents as at Dec 31, 2019. |

Chng Beng Hock has been buying and buying, it shows that he is putting his money where his mouth is. Worth a look... And his  track record as a real estate developer may be a positive boost for Vibropower business (which has been languishing) : Paya Ubi Industrial Park, Eastwood Park Condo, Sea Avenue Mansion, Kim Keat garden, Chapel Lodge Condo, Esta Ruby and Deng Fu Ville   |

Is Chng Beng Hock the same Chng Beng Hock who was Director at Compact Metal together with his brother and father? If so, looks like Compact Metal was placed on the watch list after years of consecutive losses on their watch... |

VibroPower shareholder wants to oust board
Alex Chng believes his expertise in the real estate sector will be an advantage for the company
 
ALEX Chng, the substantial shareholder of VibroPower Corporation who is trying to oust the company' s directors, believes his property development background will give the supplier of power generators an advantage in winning contracts to supply generators to the real estate sector.
 
Mr Chng and his cousin Lim Eng Tiong had on Sept 14 exercised their rights to requisition an extraordinary general meeting (EGM).
 
At the time, they collectively held almost nine million VibroPower shares representing 16.5 per cent of outstanding shares. Shareholders holding at least 10 per cent of a company' s voting shares can requisition an EGM.
 
Mr Chng had wanted to reject a proposed placement exercise, boot out all VibroPower' s three directors, and appoint himself and two others to the board.
 
VibroPower' s board currently consists of executive chairman Benedict Chen Onn Meng, and independent directors Ernest Yogarajah s/o Balasubramaniam and Toh Shih Hua.
 
Mr Chng has proposed himself as executive director, and Jonathan Zhang and Christopher Huang as independent directors. Mr Zhang is chief operating officer of a karaoke business, while Mr Huang is a corporate and tax lawyer.
 
Unfortunately for him, VibroPower' s board went ahead on Oct 5 with the proposed placement of 9.5 million new shares to father-and-son duo Wong Kim Siong and Wong Chong Heng.
 
The placement shares were sold at S$0.132 apiece.
 
Vibropower' s shares have been falling since. They closed Wednesday at S$0.15, down 37.5 per cent over the last three days.
 
Mr Chng said he is in talks with his lawyers on his options, but he intends to continue with the EGM. The date of the EGM has not yet been set.
 
Mr Chng said he first started investing in Vibropower last October as he deemed it undervalued.
 
The former research manager and assistant general manager of brokerage firm Alliance Securities said the shares were trading just a shade over 10 Singapore cents then, versus their net asset value at about 47 cents a share.
 
On top of this, the company had a manageable debt load and its controlling shareholder did not hold too large a stake.
 
At the start of 2020, when there was the opportunity to subscribe for excess shares in a rights-cum-warrants issue, he increased his stake to about 4 per cent. He continued to buy shares regularly on the open market.
 
From January this year, Mr Chng also tried to arrange a meeting with the chairman Mr Chen to discuss his plans and intentions for the company. But he was repeatedly put off, with the company citing Mr Chen' s unavailability or sensitive periods.
 
On Sept 8, VibroPower had announced a placement. The company said it hoped to leverage on the networks of the two Mr Wongs to explore more investment or business opportunities in Malaysia. They were introduced to VibroPower by Mr Chen.
 
The placement gives the Wongs almost 15 per cent of the company while diluting Mr Chng' s stake from 12.5 per cent to about 10 per cent, and Mr Chen' s stake from 22.49 per cent to 19.13 per cent.
 
The new shares were placed out at a 10 per cent discount and made up 17.62 per cent of the company' s existing issued share capital - close to the regulatory limit of 20 per cent.
 
Mr Chng has questioned the need to place so many shares, so cheaply, and so soon after the completion of the rights-cum-warrants issue. " You already secured S$1.54 million from the rights issue and there is a potential S$1.8 million coming from the warrants issue," he said. " This is really unfair to shareholders and to me."
 
VibroPower reported a net loss of S$2.62 million for 2019, versus a net profit of S$448,000 a year ago. Revenue fell 28.8 per cent to S$11.03 million, from S$15.48 million.
 
The company was further hit this year by customers' delays in taking deliveries as project schedules were affected by the closure of construction sites during the " circuit breaker" .
 
Vibropower reported losses of S$1.57 million for the first half, from a profit of $108,000 a year ago, as revenue fell 64.4 per cent to S$2.77 million.
 
Mr Chng believes he and his proposed board can do a better job.
 
His family business, PIP Marketing, has had a hand in several private property developments here. He also supervises the day-to-day management of Paya Ubi Industrial Park and maintains tenant relationships.
 
" One of the biggest customer base for power generators is developers," he said, adding that he has a network of developers that can benefit the company' s business. If appointed to the board, he also plans to expand the company' s business into developing countries such as Malaysia and India.
 
When approached for a response, a VibroPower spokesman said: " On matters pertaining to... the recently completed placement of shares, the company has complied with the relevant requirements under the SGX-ST Listing Rules and made the necessary disclosures in its announcements and annual reports, as appropriate.
 
" With regard to the company' s core business, the company continues to see growth opportunities and will capitalise on them as they emerge. The company will make such announcements as and when these new opportunities arise."

Isn' t this Chng Beng Hock the Director of Compact Metal? They went in to CM as white knight, restructured the company and exited by selling to the Chinese... It' s good news if he is coming in, can unlock value for shareholders... On a separate note, why would the Company need to do a placement when there are S$1.2m remaining proceeds from the recent rights issue? Is it a stunt to dilute CBH?
