KS Energy stopped drilling operations in Kurdistan due to the continuing unrest in the country which led to the restriction of access/no access to the work site for security reasons. The client has previously declared an event of Force Majeure (an unexpected event that prevents a party from abiding to the contract) in August and subsequently issued a notice of termination. The company&rsquo s rigs, KS Discoverer 1 and KS Discoverer 4 are insured in the event of a war or acts of terrorism. KS Energy will provide further updates pertaining to the announcement.
Thank you!

I remember last Oct, this company faced some sort of terrorism incident on its Kurdist project. But didnt follow up the matter.
Anyway, this stock is seriously discounted at $0.41, even lower than its NCAV price.
But its debt is alittle too high for me to stomach, and its recent net income is seriously pathetic.
U still cn buy since the price is below its NCAV level, but u never know will it shed somemore.

KS Energy: S$1.6m net profit in 2Q13
By Low Pei Han 
KS Energy (KSE) reported a 29.4% YoY rise in revenue to S$196.2m and a net profit of S$1.6m in 2Q13 vs. S$0.7m in 2Q12, such that 1H13 revenue and net profit accounted for 54% and 42% of our full year estimates, respectively. Gross profit margin was lower at 22.8% in 2Q13 compared to 27.5% in 2Q12, as the distribution division had executed more larger-scale projects that had comparatively lower margins. Looking ahead, management believes that the distribution business will continue to be an important contributor the group?s overall performance this year. For next year, more jack-up rigs should join the fleet. We are positive on KSE?s strategy to focus on anchoring its business in Indonesia and other parts of SE Asia, from where it can continue to grow to the rest of Asia. However, the group remains in a mode of recovery and time will be needed for more significant leaps in earnings. Maintain HOLD with S$0.50 fair value estimate.
Still recovering
KS Energy reported a 29.4% YoY rise in revenue to S$196.2m and a net profit of S$1.6m in 2Q13 vs. S$0.7m in 2Q12, such that 1H13 revenue and net profit accounted for 54% and 42% of our full year estimates, respectively. Gross profit margin was lower at 22.8% in 2Q13 compared to 27.5% in 2Q12 and 23.3% in 1Q13, and this is because the distribution division had executed more larger-scale projects that had comparatively lower margins.
Update on assets
After the disposal of KS Titan 2 in 1Q13, KSE currently has three offshore jack-up rigs, seven land rigs and four workover rigs. In addition, it has two jack-ups under construction at Cosco and another jack-up rig under construction (announced 4 Jun 2013, delivery 1Q14). Work for the Atlantic Rotterdam will continue till end Sep or early Oct this year.
Distribution remains the mainstay
Looking ahead, management believes that the distribution business will continue to be an important contributor the group?s overall performance this year. Indeed, besides undertaking maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) work, the group is executing projects which are larger in scale. This division contributed to 78.7% of total revenue in 1H13. For next year, drilling should contribute more to the group?s earnings as more jack-up rigs join the fleet. No charter contracts have been announced for these assets yet.
Maintain HOLD

...someone ask....
K S Energy seems profitable as reported but its share price keep rifting lower. It has dropped from above $1 to merely 40cents presently. Major shareholder is obviously depressing the price. Would it end up like one of those China stocks after all the cash has been siphoned from the company?

It has 13 units of rigs ordered.
Accordng to CIMB, they have noticed that high rollers from Singapore and second-tier offshore & marine companies are shifting their funds to speculate on rigs, driven by the tight regulatory and monetary control of properties in Singapore amid a low-yield environment.
CIMB also said that reflecting the global financial market trend, speculative rig-building is seeing a shift from the Norwegian market to Singapore, which currently has 13 units of rigs ordered or 15% of the newbuild market share.
" Swissco Holdings, Falcon Energy and KS Energy are the Singapore-listed O& M plays to watch for in the next two years, with a potential 33% increase in their BV from the sale of rigs. Keppel is the top pick in our coverage," CIMB said.  ...
