TEE Land Limited is a residential and commercial property developer in Singapore. The Company’s property development projects are pre-dominantly freehold in tenure and are targeted at middle-to-high income consumers who value exclusivity in good locations.
Hardly traded stock on the exchange – No Volume !
70.69% owned by Tee International, an engineering company (mkt cap SGD 125.6 mio).
Market cap of SGD 129.6 mio establishing a SGD 250 mio borrowing programme. Good job !
Now let’s take a look at the operating income.
And their inventory (of unsold properties, I presume) and other long term assets.
Then finally, let’s take a look at the bonds that are giving about 6% out there, excluding leverage considerations and defaulted or illiquid bonds.
Note : Prices unverified. List not comprehensive.
Congratulations. Tee Land would be the highest yielding local real estate bond around (China Central coming second).
Strong 3Q results with 365% net profit growth, against the market odds, sounds great on paper until you realise it is SGD 2.7 mio vs SGD 578k. And the bigger realisation would be that a SGD 50 million issue at 6.5% would wipe that 3 months of profit off immediately (interest expense SGD 3.25 mio per annum). Note that this is supposed to be a good year for them.
That is probably why you are getting 6.5% ! to compensate the risks.
If the bank will offer leverage, I think they must be seeing something in this company that I do not. Then again, wouldn’t they be better off giving them a loan ? Which means that by selling you the bond, the bank is better off ?
Yet the PB rebate speaks, and they do have a mighty big cohort of retail investors who would be interested in this issue although, like the stock, I expect liquidity to dry up quite instantly after issuance.
Be prepared to hold to maturity.

Hi, I chanced upon your site. Thank you for sharing.
what would be a healthy market cap figure vs the size of the bond programme be?
Also… for yourself before you invest in bonds, what would be the main criteria you would look at before buying in?
There is no perfect ratio because we have to consider the total debt of the company including loans, consider the industry eg. banks will have more debt because they are in the business of lending and also the absolute market cap number ie smaller companies are usually more leveraged.
Textbooks usually prescribe a ratio of 1:1 as healthy for liability to equity but there is a need to consider other factors as well.
