Abterra triggered an inverted hammer formation (at bottom) and tested 1.17 3 times over the week. it could potentially have found bottom at 1.17 and rebound from there. Invest with caution though as the downtrend is still intact.

PROFIT GUIDANCE FOR FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
The Board of Directors of Abterra Ltd. (the “Group”) considers it appropriate to provide guidance
on the Group’s unaudited financial results for the financial year ended 31 December 2010
(" FY2010" ).
Following the preliminary review of the Group’s unaudited FY2010 financial results, the Board of
Directors would like to advise that the Group will be reporting a loss for FY2010, which was
attributed mainly to the following:
1. A one-off recognition of approximately S$11.194 million negative goodwill recognised in
3QFY2010 which was subsequently reversed in 4QFY2010 due to the latest draft
estimates by valuation specialists on the purchase of the Max Harvest Group and
2. Higher operating expenses largely caused by impairment loss of property, plant and
equipment, impairment of intangible assets as well as foreign exchange losses
Further details will be disclosed when the Group announces its unaudited financial results for
FY2010, which is expected to be on 28 February 2011.

KPMG found to have acted in conflict of interest
Big Four firm was both Abterra Ltd’s scheme administrator and sole liquidator for shareholder’s claimant
ESTHER NG
SINGAPORE
But accounting firm KPMG also acted as the sole liquidator of Tan Holdings Private Limited (THPL), which had made a $4.4-million claim against Abterra’s then majority shareholder Prosperity Steel (Asia).
Last month, the High Court found the accounting giant had “acted in conflict in their roles” as Abterra’s scheme administrator and as liquidator of THPL and ordered KPMG to be removed.
The Court appointed Deloitte & Touche Financial Services as Abterra’s new scheme administrators.
Abterra, formerly known as Hua Kok International, had entered into a Strategic Subscription and New Business Agreement on Aug 30, 2004.
The agreement was that the company would receive a large capital injection by Prosperity in the form of share subscriptions that would make it the new majority shareholder of the company, with a stake of 70 per cent.
Abterra’s creditors were to receive shares in the company once their claims had crystallised.
In a document to the court, Abterra general manager John Baey said that as KPMG executive director Bob Yap had already been appointed as sole liquidator of THPL when the accounting firm acted as Abterra’s scheme administrator, it “would have already been in an apparent position of conflict once THPL claims an interest in the shares of the company through Prosperity”.
Mr Yap countered that THPL’s claim against Prosperity came either from “public information or from information in THPL’s liquidator’s possession” and that Abterra “(had) always been aware of (his) appointment as liquidator to THPL”.
But the court agreed with Abterra, which was representedby lawyer Chia Boon Teck.
— As the scheme administrator, it was supposed to protect the interests of its client, Abterra Limited, a coal and iron ore trading company, from its creditors.I think most short-term players have sold out oredi. See there is not much retail selling in this counter.
To reach $1.65 can be next year if minerals and coke prices are upping.
i sold before it consolidated the shares, only incur the transaction fee, money still intact. knew that Abterra is not a good stock.
for those who hold, maybe see how is the market this coming october..

After Consolidation i think will fall...even if i don't hold any of this stock.... Good for shorting. To me where got company stock dealing with metal trading past $1++ . Like HG metal,Lianghuat, Albedo all few cents worth... As for coke business, do u think it is better than Straits Asia.For Abterra to trade to $2.75??? Wait long long will also never happen i rather take Straits Asia.... :)
Changed my views on Abterra. Good price to sell all your stocks and wait for below 90 cents. to buy back. I heard the major shareholders are not good in the coke business. Likely to fall below 82 cents as one analyst told me. Don't know how far it is true, but I sold all shares already.

Think the price of $1.50 is a mistake:
When business kicked off at 9am, this trade was not made at 6.5 cents but instead 82 cents; however, when it was completed, the damage had been done. The seller, realising his mistake, scrambled to quickly cover his position, which in a market where the number of shares was now reduced by a factor of 25, sparked off a run that sent the stock rocketing just past $1.50.
More details here: http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/sub/companies/story/0,4574,403565,00.html?
Don't anyhow sell this stock. Remember it is a mining stock (semi or fully in the category). A mining will give you very high returns as this type of stock is in great demand. Can give unexpected windfalls.
Based on past pricing, it can shoot past the $1.50 easily.
