  3. I think this explain their degradation of service The Straits Times / The Business Times News On Novena Novena Hldgs get nod to sell furniture business With its sizeable cash holdings, Novena is now on the prowl for new consumer-related businesses. By Ven Sreenivasan Jul 25, 2007 The Business Times SHAREHOLDERS of Sesdaq-listed Novena Holdings last week approved the sale of the company's furniture business to listed TT International. The sale leaves the Sesdaq company with over $20 million in cash and a core business now involving mainly its beauty and healthcare chain built around its 12 Beauty Spring stores and spas. With its sizeable cash holdings, Novena is now on the prowl for new consumer-related businesses. Novena executive director Mano Sabnani said the company was on the lookout for a 'scaleable and franchisable' business in the consumer sector. He explained that based on its assets and cash holdings, his company could gear up significantly should it need more cash for an acquisition. 'With a base of $20 million, we can gear up to around $80 million, if needed,' he told BT. Meanwhile, Novena is close to completing the sale to TT International of its core furniture businesses and several of its subsidiaries in an all-share transaction worth $13.5 million. Under the deal, TT - which makes the Akira range of electronic appliances - will acquire Novena's seven brand names, including Castilla Premium, Natural Living and The White Collection. The deal and additional share purchases associated with it will see Novena emerging with about 17 per cent of the share capital of TT International. The disposal of its furniture business will generate a one-off gain of around $8million for FY2007. Besides its $20 million in cash, Novena is also sitting on assets worth some $92 million, which translates into net assets per share of 60 cents. The stock itself has almost doubled in price in the last five weeks to its current levels of around 68 cents. Besides beauty and healthcare, Novena also owns 80 per cent of Chuan Seng Leong, a logistics and distribution business, which specialises in distributing fast moving consumer goods, especially in toiletries, in Singapore. Mr Sabnani sees this business as being synergistic with Novena's beauty and healthcare chain. Novena has already started to attract some attention this year. The savvy Oei Hong Leong became its second biggest single shareholder recently after buying 27 million new shares. Mr Oei now holds 25 per cent of the company. The exercise saw chief executive Toh Soon Huat's stake falling to 31.02 per cent, down from 37.93 per cent. Earlier this year, Mr Oei, through his foundation, swapped his 20 million Tung Lok Restaurants shares for 10.3 million new Novena shares. The 14 per cent Tung Lok stake gave Novena another slice of the consumer/lifestyle segment. Novena previously held a 12 per cent interest in Apex-Pal International. But following the failure of that company to buy into Thai Village, it recently disposed of most of its Apex-Pal shares, and currently holds only 2 per cent in the holding company of the Sakae Sushi chain. Mr Sabnani reckons that the future of his company still lies largely in the beauty and wellness sector. 'This is a segment which is seeing huge growth both in Singapore and the region,' he said. 'And we want to position ourselves as a major player to capitalise on this growth.'
