Sycal has opportunities for growth in Perak state, including upcoming integrated township developments by PKNP that aim to raise socio-economic values. Repayment of RM 69 million from 2014-2016 could boost cash position and allow dividends. A 12-year contract with Pullman Hotel until 2022 may provide more jobs. Ongoing projects and a new launch in Johor could significantly increase profit contribution over the next 5-10 years with potential total GDV of RM1.2 billion. However, the construction and property industries face challenges from a weak currency, GST effects, and strict lending policies.

1. (f) Strategic Plan

acre of land and 10 administrative district covering various industry and
communities. Under Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Perak (PKNP), upcoming

develop plan with the ultimate goal of raising overall socio-economic
values in the area.
Cygal Development Sdn Bhd had owned approx RM 69 million, which will see
periodic repayment starting from year 2014 to 2016. The huge cash coming in
might bring an opportunity for Sycal to finally reward the patient
shareholder with a possible dividend.
Sycal might look up into the opportunity of having more jobs in the future when
Pullman Hotel (in Bangsar) starts to expand for their next spot where they
had a 12 year contract running until 2022.
With on-going projects from Sitiawan, Cheras, Ipoh and Taiping, with their
upcoming launch in it's 5.37 acre of land in Johor, Sycal will be looking to see
it's properties development activities to gain up significant portion of profit
contribution in the next 5 to 10 years with potential total GDV of RM1.2
billion.

- Repayment of RM 69m from 2014 to 2016, boosting company cash
position, and also putting up chances for a dividend for shareholder.

2. The near term prospects is expected to remain challenging for the domestic
construction and property industries in view of the weakness in the local
currency, effect of GST and strict lending policies by banks
Downtrend towards the first half of the year 2016
Picture (Annual Report 2015) indicates that the Group obtains new borrowings
and tried to sell off their assets to reduce it but is unable to cover up the total
amount of borrowings.
Sycal acquired plant and equipment by hire purchase, term loan, and cash
payments where RM86,000 is used under term loan.

3. Sycal had broken away from the down trend chart recently after a strong
rebound on the floor price at the range of RM 0.31. This indicates a new
trend in the making.
Even when Sycal had a significant of debts, it’s positive cash flow and careful
management overcomes the amount of debts.
Major Challenges:
- Maintain flow of strong volume in the trend chart after being hit in the
range of RM 0.31.
- Sycal next resistant should sit at RM 0.40.
