CONS:

Lower demand in foil and flexible packaging

3) Plantation

WTK had 11,800 hectares of oil palm plantation but only 1,300 hectares are matured in 2014 annual report. Due to the low FFB and palm oil price these division is making loss in 2014 and up to 3^rd quarter of 2015.

PROS:

WTK have large palm oil plantation which is not mature yet once mature these will increase the revenue of these division.

In the 2014 report there is an increase in other investment from RM 1,312,000 to RM 12,752,000. This is mainly because there is an increase in investment in preference share.

Base on 3^rd Quarter 2015 report, current borrowing for WTK is RM 203,259,000 however WTK had enough cash reserve to cover these borrowing and loan.

Director and Shareholder

WTK is a family business run by the Wong family who lead by Pemanca Datuk Wong Kie Yik. Pemanca is a title given by the State Government of Sarawak as a leader just below the Temenggung. He is actively involves in the Malaysia Timber Industry and Chairman of Sarawak Timber Industry.

PROS:

Pemanca Datuk Wong Kie Yik, chairman of WTK is actively involves in the timber industry in Malaysia where the most of revenues of WTK come from.

Conclusion

After the review on WTK, WTK is currently undervalue base on the assets they have in 2014 report. Although P/E of WTK is high 18.25 on reporting time, there is still future earning from the plantation division once more palm oil tree is mature and from the offsore support vessel operation. I believe the Wong family is going to helm this company out from the bad times and improve the earning. Hence I will recommend BUY to these company.
