Anwell

I was doing some calculation on this co's subsidiary wch mfg the solar panel. Last year someone took a 10% stake in the subs for us$7mn. That values the subs us$70mn . The mkt cap of Anwell is only $100mn. Is the co undervalued?Looking at the biz, the co can sell the panels and the machine that produces the panel. Question: What the price of such thin film solar panel these days? More importantly, whats the price of the machine wch produces such panels? Appreciate your inputs.

Tks.

ANWELL chairman: "From day 1, I knew we could be successful"

Written by Leong Chan Teik
Saturday, 12 September 2009
Franky Fan, chairman & CEO. Photo by Leong Chan Teik AFTER A long drive from San Francisco, Mr Franky Fan, his wife and son were holidaying in Seattle when he received a call from his China office: “Come back quickly. A government VVIP will visit our factory.” Within hours, Mr Fan and family were in the air headed back to Hong Kong, their home city. The next day, at his factory in the Chinese industrial city of Dongguan, about two hours’ drive from Hong Kong, Mr Fan and his staff waited in anticipation for the arrival of the VVIP. For security reasons, they were not informed who exactly it would be. They only knew when the motorcade arrived and out stepped Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who was visiting several factories in Dongguan that day. For Mr Fan, the executive chairman and CEO of Singapore-listed Anwell Technologies, the VVIP’s visit last July was symbolic of the country’s support for its high-tech companies. Anwell is the world’s second largest manufacturer of equipment that replicates CD Roms, DVDs and Blu-ray discs – and is venturing into a key resource industry. “The Prime Minister encouraged us to work hard on our new solar project,” recalled Mr Fan. Mr Wen reportedly said to Anwell staff: “Solar panels are a key component of clean, renewable energy, which is an important direction for our power generation and energy industries. Thus, China looks to you for its power-saving and new energy infrastructure.” As of early June 2009, China was getting ready to throw its economic might behind a national solar power plan that could make it one of the world's biggest harvesters of the sun's energy.The government body responsible for overseeing energy policy had finalised a proposal for billions of dollars of incentives for solar farms and rooftop panels. China premier Wen Jiabao visiting Anwell's plant in Dongguan last year. Photo: Anwell Anwell will be riding on that wave: Harnessing the common technologies used for both optical disc and solar panel manufacturing equipment, it is developing manufacturing lines to produce solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. After investing over HK$100 million to start a venture in Henan province, it will start mass-producing solar panels in the second half of this year. Anwell has become one of only four companies in the world that designs and produces fully integrated production lines for thin-film solar panels. After the Prime Minister’s visit, Anwell’s earlier application for government grants was approved. The company received more than RMB200 million for its research and development of a manufacturing line to produce OLED panels. OLED panels, which are ultra-thin, are replacing LCD and plasma screens on consumer gadgets such as television sets and laptops. There is a picture that Mr Fan treasures of himself accompanying the Prime Minister on the tour of Anwell’s factory. The picture, I noted on my recent trip to Anwell along with several analysts from Singapore, takes pride of place not just in Anwell’s factory in Dongguan but also its solar factory in Henan and its corporate headquarters in Hong Kong. In the picture, Mr Fan is wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt sans a tie. The low-key dressing is evident too in his pictures on Anwell’s website and online newsletters, where he wears either a long-sleeved shirt with rolled-up sleeves or simply a long-sleeved jersey. When I remarked on that, he said: “To put on a jacket, that’s not Franky. I like to go with my own style, my own thinking.” He has also done it his way in his choice of work – by co-founding Anwell in 2000. He had left his US$15,000-a-month job as an engineering director in HHODL, Hong Kong’s largest manufacturer of CD-ROMS – the only employer he had ever worked for. “The industry was suffering a slump at that time, and we thought sooner or later, we would lose our jobs,” recalled Mr Fan, who was aged 31 then, and decided to start his own business. “I knew that in a year or two, when the industry recovered, I would enjoy the harvest.” View from the loft of Anwell's HQ in Hong Kong. Photo by Leong Chan Teik Mr Fan had long wanted to be an entrepreneur and had made this known to anyone who cared to ask. “When I was in school, I prayed for a vision of my future. An image came to me: I was standing on top of a hill and below was a town full of my factories. From age 17 or 18, I knew I would be an entrepreneur one day. I told my girlfriend, whose is my wife now: ‘Now, I have nothing, but one day I will be very rich.’ ” During a holiday stint with HHODL while he was mid-way through his PhD course, he proved himself so impressively that the boss interviewed him for a permanent job. “I told him my ambition was to be my own boss one day,” remembered Mr Fan, who was hired anyway – as engineering director at the age of 25 of Hong Kong’s largest manufacturer of CD-ROMS. The US$10,000-a-month salary he was offered was tempting, so he quit his course. Engineering flair runs within his family, it would seem, as his father was an engineering professor in a university in China. The junior Fan had something else that became apparent later on: an ability to speak persuasively. This, as he revealed, came partly from being a debater in school and university. “If I weren’t an engineer, I would be a lawyer,” he said, adding that passion and knowledge were also key to being convincing, not just talk. When Mr Fan started Anwell in 2000, he had sufficient savings to tide his family through uncertain times as he built up Anwell. He was already married to his former schoolmate, Grace, and had a five-year-old son. Anwell's HQ in HK scores high in aesthetics. Photo by Leong Chan Teik His wife’s job as a teacher provided stability of income – a fact that did not happen by chance as he had told her in the early days of their courtship that, given his entrepreneurial ambition and the volatility of earnings especially in the initial years, it would be good that she held a teacher’s post. Pooling US$100,000 with some colleagues, Mr Fan started Anwell with two ex-HHODL engineers and 18 other staff (today, they have 2,500 employees). Operating out of 7,000-sq ft of leased space in a factory in low-cost Dongguan, they designed machines that mass-produced CD-ROMs. As Mr Fan was well known in the industry, his team’s first design found a buyer without too much difficulty. Anwell went on to overcome hurdle after hurdle – especially the notion among potential clients that made-in-China equipment could not match Western technology. In time, its equipment proved to be superior, with an output that is at least 20 per cent faster than any other similar disc replicator in the world, according to Anwell. Despite its technological prowess, Anwell, which listed on the Singapore Exchange in 2004, has had a tough time making good profits consistently as demand for its equipment is cyclical, and research and development costs are high. Last year, it raked in HK$905.4 million in sales but suffered a net loss of HK$101 million. The results include the first set of full-year contribution from its acquisition of a customer which produces optical discs. With the acquisition, Anwell became the only manufacturer of replicating equipment and optical discs in the world. Recently, striking out into the potentially lucrative renewable energy industry, Anwell has completed the construction of a sprawling factory (680 acres) in Henan province in China to build solar panels – a journey which began in August 2007 when Mr Fan and his team decided to further leverage on Anwell’s existing know-how. Mr James Lim, an analyst from DMG & Partners, was among those who traveled to Henan to be updated on the solar project. He later wrote a report, saying: “We believe that Anwell had organised this plant trip mainly to show analysts that its solar business is not just some fabricated concept, given that some local investors have already been burnt during the debacle pertaining to Rowsley during late 2007. Coincidentally, Rowsley was also said to be dealing with thin-film solar cells back then.” Top Henan government officials have visited the solar factory several times too and have pledged support for its smooth launch, according to Anwell. But what about the risks of investing a tonne of money into this industry? Said Mr Fan: “I don’t think there’s too much risk. Our team has experience in developing similar systems. We are also supported by some national laboratories in China. From day one, I knew we could be successful.” the necessary certification that will enable it to sell to Europe and the US. “This will take about six months – but that doesn’t mean we cannot sell our solar panels during that time. We can sell to other markets and to solar farms, which don’t require the certification,” said Mr Fan. The demand is there for Anwell’s panels as the company enjoys cost advantages from being the producer of its own equipment. In addition, said Mr Fan, the company’s solar panels are of the ‘thin-film’ technology, whose production cost is only a third that of the conventional crystalline silicon variety. While Anwell currently has a production capacity of 40 megawatts a year, it will rapidly scale up to 1,000 megawatts by 2013 and become one of the world’s top 10 producers. The solar venture holds the key for Anwell to become a very profitable company as the solar industry is potentially massive vis-a-vis the optical disc industry. Mr Fan explained: “The solar industry will be around a long time because the sun will be the source of energy after fossil fuel runs out. But the optical disc industry cannot last for generations.” “I have always thought we have a bright future. That’s why I have not sold a single share since Anwell’s IPO, and I have no plans to do that.” If he was going to be very rich at some point in the future, I wondered how he would use the money. “I don’t need a lot of money, as long as I have enough for my family. If you have a lot, you are just looking after it for the gods as you cannot take it with you when you die. My idea is we should use our surplus money to help others.” To support the victims of the Sichuan earthquake last year, Anwell raised HK$1 million from its staff, with the management contributing about a month’s salary on average, said Mr Fan. The staff also contributed funds to build a primary school which was completed last year for over 600 students in Henan province, where it operates its solar panel factory. Mr Fan said: “On average, every year 15-20 per cent of my income goes to charity – such as some children’s charity of the United Nations - and another 17 per cent goes to income tax. I won’t pass a lot of money to my son. It’s better that I give him knowledge and motivation, and he can make money himself.” I asked how he motivated his staff. “I work hard and that sets an example for them. I always consider myself an equal to them. We eat together in the office canteen, we fly economy together. My staff know that I donate money to charity and I motivate them to donate too,” he said. This story was recently published in Pulses magazine and is reproduced here with permission. Recent story: ANWELL produces its first solar panel Ken Wu, the CFO of Anwell, was Franky's schoolmate. In the picture, Ken is explaining the solar business in Anwell's Henan plant. Photo by Leong Chan Teik While developing its solar plant, Anwell has been marketing its capabilities at exhibitions and to potential customers. As a result, it has signed Memorandums of Understanding to supply clients with solar panels over the next few years. In the second half of this year, Anwell will apply for

Didn't mon ds burger. Its CPFIS listed. NAV S$0.768. Every yr in red since 06.Only 254.639m shares cir.

In paper, last week, it traded as low as 34 cts n high at 66.5cts. May be a mistake in paper, low at 50 over cts, logical loh.

Old news, its 1H plunged deeper into red on 20% revenue decline.HK 3.3m interest payment on reldeemable notes n surge in admin expense due to formation of solar div in 4Q08.

Biz outlook:

Indeed its thin film solar panel came in d right time, though only see substatial effect next yr while o/p going into 3 fold. However, as compares to the Central Gov future plan of d so-called Golden Sun stimulus package to boost up nation tgt of 20 gigawatts of solar energy by 2020, piece of cake liao.

Henceforth, its future is bright, if getting hold the stimulus benefits, ie free land, easy funds n subsidies fr District Gov n bankers, for experimental n opt needs.

Above no call for anything, but for sharing, both Ys apply.

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Anwell reaches major milestone in development of solar

business – produces its first thin film solar panel

Anwell becomes the first SGX-listed company to successfully

produce thin film solar panel

Singapore, 1 September 2009 -

supplier of advanced manufacturing equipment and process technologies for the optical disc, OLED

and solar industries, has achieved what many thought was impossible and produced their first

amorphous silicon (“a-Si”) thin film solar panel at their 40MW solar plant in Henan, China.Anwell Technologies Limited (“Anwell” or the “Group”), a global

“When Premier Wen Jiabao visited us in July

2008 and tasked us to address China’s need for

power saving and next generation energy

infrastructure, we knew we couldn’t let China

down. True to our ethos of making the impossible

possible, we have produced our first a-Si thin film

solar panel,” said Franky Fan, the Chairman &

CEO.

This milestone is all the more impressive as the

production equipment was built from scratch using

Anwell’s proprietary technologies for the key

production processes of a-Si thin film solar panel

including Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor

deposition (PECVD), sputtering, laser scribe and

transportation system, and will enable the Group to

have a huge cost-saving advantage through its

vertically integrated model over other solar panel

producers who have to import their own equipment.

PECVD equipment is a vital element for low-cost-per-watt solar panel manufacturing. Anwell’s

PECVD system is the world’s first multi-substrate-multi-chamber deposition tool boasting higher

productivity and lower manufacturing cost for 1.1 by 1.4 meter a-Si thin film solar panel with its unique

and innovative batch and cluster design. Such unique design of PECVD system also initiates

opportunity for development of multi-junction thin film solar panel with higher conversion efficiency.

With each panel taking less than a minute to produce and more efficient consumption of silane gas of

less than 8 litres per panel, the Group’s optimum process and superior tool design can further

strengthen its cost competitiveness and offer higher productivity resulting in lower capital expenditure

needs for increasing production capacity. Now that the first thin film solar panel has been produced

following the completion of system tests.

“A new era has dawned for Anwell. With the potential growth momentum of thin film solar

market, Anwell’s new solar business is well positioned to propel the Group to new heights in

the future. In fact, we have already started to receive enquires for our solar panels from

potential customers,” said Franky Fan.

Over the coming months, the production process will be optimized for mass production. Concurrently

Anwell has begun research and development on new equipment that will increase their production

capacity to 120MW by the end of 2010. The Group will also proceed to attain the necessary

international certifications.

Wah....fall 13 cts in one month......the losses in this company seems to be chronic leh......

hsbhsb ( Date: 07-Jun-2009 21:49) Posted:

???
the consol was 10 shares became 1.

now stock is 40 cents, which means it was 4 cents under the previous scheme.

the stock ever hit $1.50, which means it shld be $15 under current scheme (ie, after consolidation).

will Anwell reach $15? hahahhaa...... doubt it.
