Zelan's expertise also includes the design & construction of airports, highways and interchanges as well as commercial and industrial buildings.

This unit has positioned itself as a lifestyle developer and has carved a niche in the market with projects such as the Hampshire Residence and Riviera Courtyard Homes.

==============================

My presentations went well,thank god! Anyway, back to the topic, Zelan closed 0.805 closed 0.015 sen or 1.8% lower from my purchase price. Maybe too early to say but zelan has performed so much better than KLCI and DJ index last week. Already in coma state or could be another bear trap, only time will tell.I'm waiting for their next (3rd) financial result, should be out next week. Total book order as at sept 30 was around RM3.5bn and balance sheet looks healthy. However, Zelan's NTA value decreased from RM1.80 as at July 30 2007 to RM1.28. Though the short term borrowing increased by 110% or RM48m, overall balance still backed by a healthy net cash per share at RM0.11.Zelan has 9% stake in IJM Corporation(RM3.60) valued at RM306m or 0.54 sen per share!

36% or RM1.26bn of Zelan's order book alone derived from UAE. looking at property crisis there, should i be worry? Should be ok..i hope so. The rest from Saudi Arabia (IWPP),Indonesia (power plant) and others. Need to be more realistic because construction sector is said  among the worst performer during recession time.So, hit and run should be the best strategy.hmm.. 

Total dividend last year was 0.12 sen and zelan already paid their interim dividend last november, 0.05 sen per share and still trading below its NTA value. TA wise, next support level should be around 0.75 sn and 0.60 sen.I'm looking forward to see their latest cash flow and balance sheet. Can't wait!
