Keppel Land foresees $719.8m net profit

A net gain of $394m is expected by Keppel Land instead of the $321m reported earlier.

DBS said that Keppel Land has obtained a positive advance tax ruling from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, confirming that the gains from the proposed divestment of its stake in MBFC1 is capital in nature and not subject to tax. This would boost the group's book NTA by another 5cts to $2.64. While this news is unlikely to impact RNAV, our FY10 net profit estimates would be revised up to $719.8m to reflect the bigger gain.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
