Previous earning 

Group revenue was $195.1 million for the year ended 30 June 2016 compared to $60.6 million in the prior year driven by investment income from Knowledge Universe Holdings (&ldquo KUH&rdquo ) of $174.9 million attributable mainly to the receipt of cash distributions from the sales of the US and international childcare operations. Group profit before tax was $144.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2016 compared to $31.7 million in the previous year. The increase was mostly due to investment income from KUH, partly offset by an increase in other operating expenses. The increase in other operating expenses was mainly attributable to a foreign exchange loss of $19.9 million related to the voluntary liquidation of Focus Up Holdings Limited and the Greenstreet carried interest related to the cash proceeds received from KUH. In the previous year, the Group recorded a profit of $27.4 million from the sale of China Auto and a foreign exchange gain of $5.4 million which was offset by an impairment loss of $13.2 million related to the Group&rsquo s investment in K12, Inc (&ldquo K12&rdquo ). Group EBITDA of $144.4 million was $99.4 million above the prior year driven by investment income from KUH. The decrease in Group taxation for the year was mainly due to tax arising from the sale of China Auto in the prior year. Group profit attributable to shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2016 was $140.6 million compared to $24.9 million in the previous year, and earnings per share was 32.45 cents.

Selling cash printing company...
Then turn out become cash company

If you plan to hold until next venture of new business then go take a look at Jaya

You are likely take back the money you invested for those keen to buy now
Like go bank, deposit 100
Wait Bank give dividends and withdraw may be 130 or less.
Future wise nothing left on K1

' Opportune' time to cash out on k1Ventures, says RHB



  Source: TheEdge Markets     |     Publish date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017, 11:32 AM     |     > > Read article in News website


SINGAPORE (March 15): RHB on Wednesday says it is time for shareholders of k1 Ventures to take some money off the table.

This comes after k1 recently announced plans to divest its interests in US-based education company Knowledge Universe Education (KUE) and privately-held global financial services firm Guggenheim Capital.

" If the proposed sales are successful, k1 intends to distribute proceeds back to shareholders and will effectively become a shell company," says RHB analyst Goh Han Peng.

According to Goh, Guggenheim Capital has grown its assets under management significantly since k1 first invested in 2011. Its AUM has more than doubled around US$240 billion currently.

While the sale of stake in Guggenheim Capital is expected to fetch a handsome premium over its book value, Goh notes that k1 is already currently trading at a 70% premium over its book value of 48 cents per share.

" The market is thus pricing in $150 million of excess value over its book value," he says. " We think this is an opportune time to take some money off the table given the uncertainty over the eventual price obtained."

As at 11.22am, shares of k1 Ventures are trading 6 cents lower at 77.5 cents.

Why this report could cause crash?

  k1 Ventures recently announced plans to divest its interests in Knowledge Universe Education (KUE), an US based education company and Guggenheim Capital, a privately held global financial services firm. In 2011, k1 had invested USD100m in Guggenheim Capital through a combination of preferred shares, common shares and warrants. If the proposed sales are successful, k1 intends to distribute proceeds back to shareholders and will effectively become a shell company.
