Phone sales steady up

2010-02-06T16:28:00.000-08:00

Phone sales come from China are flooding the Indonesian market exploded unstoppable. Not only profit menangguk distributor, retail sales in mobile phone sales centers helped to harvest profits. In the last month, China mobile phone sales jumped by 100 percent. This is the latest picture of the impact of the implementation of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (ACFTA) in Indonesia. Imposition of import duty to 0% for mobile phones, electronic products belonging, directly felt.

Consumers rush to buy cheap mobile phones manufactured in China mobile phone sales centers, such as Roxy region, ITC Cempaka Mas, and Mal Ambassador. Muslia, marketers at Loos in Roxy Cingular Wireless, states can now sell up to 10 units per day of China's mobile phone.

So did Ivan on Experience Phone Shop, ITC Cempaka Mas, was a generous provision with this level of society who are looking for mobile phones from China. Last month, Ivan sold about 200 units of mobile phones in China.

However, President Director of PT Metrotech Jaya Community Martono Jaya Kusuma, Nexian brand distributors, denied this sales spike because of ACFTA validity. Since the first phone is not affected Nexian duty. Sales increased dramatically because of the advanced features and an affordable price.

the central point of the world's gold

In the mining map of the world, South Sulawesi is the central point of the world's gold. The potential gold mine in South Sulawesi spread in several districts, namely Luwu, North Luwu, Palopo, Luwu Timur, Tanatoraja, Pangkep, Barru, Bone, Jeneponto, Takalar, Gowa, Maros, Selayar and Wajo, shall be maintained and monitored in order to be processed into industrial that promises a decent life for citizens in the area.

Only, to continued, for the use and management of natural resources has become the gold industry will be built a sizable investment, including the location design, field surveys, feasibility studies and others. Unfortunately, the gold content stored in the bowels of the earth as deep as approximately 200 meters are common in protected forest areas in these districts will be managed so that if it can collide with the agencies that deal with forestry.

Capital unity `will take ages'

2009-03-29T02:16:00.000-07:00

Indonesia has cast doubt on the viability of an integrated capital market among ASEAN member states by 2015, citing regulatory differences.

Lack of a common regulatory framework shared between states was among the daunting factors dampening the realization of the plan, chairman of the capital market and financial institution supervisory agency (Bapepam-LK) Fuad Rahmany said during a seminar Tuesday.

He added there was so much to be done before being able to realize the dream of having a single integrated capital market in the ASEAN region by the 2015 deadline.

"I don't know whether this can be achieved by 2015; we're still at the discussion stage," he said.

He also said that among the obstacles was a way to synchronize the regulations that were issued by each member country.

This included policies relating to taxation, investor protection and dispute settlements.

Most ASEAN member states have inherited deep-rooted legal systems from their former colonial occupiers, making it difficult to adopt a single regulation to suit all needs.

The Indonesian legal system, for instance, is heavily influenced by that of the Netherlands, while the legal systems of Singapore and Malaysia are closely linked to that on the United Kingdom, and the system in the Philippines resembles that in the United States.

ASEAN has embarked on an ambitious plan to have an integrated capital market under its ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) blueprint.

Under the single integrated capital market system, investors and companies in ASEAN countries can freely trade securities in any market at competitive costs.

There will also be an ASEAN virtual bourse, known as the ASEAN linkage, which will act as a single stock market featuring the region's top 200 companies.

The ASEAN linkage is scheduled for a launch next year.

"It may not be realized. Harmonizing each of the members' regulations will take ages," Fuad said.

However, he said Indonesia would remain committed to forming the capital market integration because such a system was deemed inevitable.

"The globalized market is heading to a more integrated system. And as part of the community, we support it."

Former Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission chairman and chief adviser to the China Banking Regulatory Commission, Andrew Sheng, said the capital market integration should be prioritized during this time of crisis.

He said ASEAN could use the moment to rise as a new power to possibly replace the Western market system, which was losing credibility.

"By having a combined market force, we will have more liquidity and a bigger scale to be able to compete globally," he said.

Jambi village set to trade in carbon credits

2009-02-11T08:20:00.000-08:00

The forest near Guguk village, Sungai Manau district in Merangin regency, Jambi, has potential carbon reserves, according to a recent joint study by the Jambi office of the Indonesian Committee for Humanity Conservation Information Center (KKI Warsi) and the International Center for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF).

Jambi KKI Warsi executive director Rakhmad Hidayat said the method used to assess carbon reserves was called the rapid carbon stock assessment (Rasca). Based on the study, carbon reserves at the forest are estimated at 261.25 tons per hectare.

"Guguk could reap an equivalent of Rp 19.8 billion at an exchange rate of Rp 11,000 to the dollar," he said.

Guguk village stands to earn US$1.8 million annually just from selling carbon credits, with a ton of carbon trading for $10 and the forest area spanning 690 hectares.

The carbon assessment scheme is crucial in determining the value received by the community, as it will serve as a comparable method developed by carbon brokers who still use obscure and unfamiliar methods that only certain parties can benefit from.

"This is important to understand, because brokers also have various interests in the carbon credit transaction they deal in," he said.

Awareness of the carbon credit assessment will enable the com-munity to ascertain the financial value they can receive, and the forest will not be regarded as merely a source of timber, thus preventing it from being exploited through deforestation.

The appraisal is aimed at convincing stakeholders that by preserving the forest and not converting it into large-scale plantations or mining or forestry concessions, it could bring far more significant economic benefits and help prevent environmental damage.

"Hence, it could bring much benefit to the people," Rakhmad said.

The Guguk forest, mapped under Merangin regency Decree No. 287/2003, has so far been protected by the community because it is a source of clean water for residents. Geographically, the forest is also vital in preventing landslides and floods. It is also rich in biodiversity.

Based on a study conducted by KKI Warsi Jambi, the forest is home to 89 bird species, 37 of which are protected, including the helmeted hornbill and great argus.

It is also home to 22 mammal species, some of which are protected, including the Asian tapir and the sun bear, in addition to 84 tree species, such as the meranti, balam and marsawa, which can grow up to 55 centimeters in diameter.

Rakhmad also called on the provincial administration to prepare regulations to protect the remaining forest that could potentially be used for carbon credits, prior to the commencement of the carbon trade.

"Besides that, the administration must also support the authority of customary rights in the carbon trade scheme, and strengthen a people's institution that would serve as a beneficiary for the carbon trade later," he said.

Dragon Oil is making the most of its robust cash position

2009-01-29T17:02:00.000-08:00

Dragon Oil is an independent oil development and production company whose shares are traded under a dual primary listing on the Irish and London Stock Exchanges. Dragon Oil operates oilfields located in the Cheleken Contract Area Offshore Turkmenistan, in the Caspian Sea. Dragon Oil had proved and probable oil reserves at 30/06/08 of 644 million barrels (of which Dragon Oil’s share was 283 million barrels) and 3.4 trillion cuft of gas resources.

Dragon Oil is making the most of its robust cash position

by Fat Prophets

Back in July 2008 when oil was at US$147, the themes dominating the market were the burgeoning oil thirsty developing world, a dwindling US dollar, supply side disruptions and rising hostilities in the Middle East. As a result the share price of oil producer Dragon Oil (LSE, DGO) soared. Since then though, the fear of global recession of gargantuan proportions has played the primary role in steering the oil market as well as the company’s share price.

As for the recession that is currently gripping the Western world, US President Barack Obama US$825 billion’s fiscal package is one of several measures designed to drag the domestic economy up from the floor. With other governments to follow, there will be no quick fix. However when central banks are determined to spend their way out of a recession there is little that can stand in their way, eventually.

Whereas demand will take a little time to recover, the supply side problem of the equation is growing. Current price levels render many forms of oil extraction and many projects uneconomical whilst the credit crunch is affecting the ability of many companies to raise finance to fund projects.

Meanwhile, OPEC Members seem to be abiding by their latest round of productions cuts and the US dollar looks like it may be running out of steam. We have stated on numerous occasions that in the US, a lack of fiscal restraint, loose monetary (interest rate) policy, ongoing trade deficits and a ballooning national debt have caused an increase in the supply of dollars now circulating through the global economy. The devaluing of the US dollar is something which is being engineered by US policy makers and when it arrives it will potentially inflate anything priced in dollars, oil included.

So for investors in Caspian Sea focused Dragon Oil, the future is bright, particularly given the Turkmenistan focused producer is laden with cash and has managed to increase output in 2008 and has its eyes on further gains in 2009.

Despite the hysteria surrounding the world’s energy markets, Dragon announced a 28 percent increase in average daily production (41,000 barrels of oil per day) for 2008 when compared with 2007.
Encouragingly, there is little sign of any let up as the group pursues a 15 percent increase for 2009. And given their track record to date, we have little doubt that the company will achieve their objective.

Meanwhile, any short comings in oil revenue will be offset by the commercialisation of Dragon’s vast gas resources (which amount to 3.4 trillion cubic feet) and a doubling in capital expenditure for 2008 (to US$600 million).

The company is clearly making the most of its robust cash position (US$867 million in the bank compared to US$543 million from end of 2007) and is ramping up production when others are struggling to maintain their levels. In addition, management is keen to bolster the company’s portfolio whilst current bargains prevail.

Kopane Diamond Developments – hidden value

2009-01-22T05:25:00.000-08:00

Kopane Diamond Developments (formerly European Diamonds plc) is a growing diamond mining company with substantial production and development assets in Lesotho.

The Liqhobong Satellite plant is now producing at a rate over 150,000 carats per annum. A Definitive Feasibility Study has commenced on the Main Pipe which could demonstrate a viable project, capable of producing up to one million carats per annum. Kopane is also committed to bringing its exploration assets in Finland to full value.

The word “kopane”, in the language of the Kingdom of Lesotho, means “unity” or “togetherness” and it was in this spirit that new Chairman Tim Read joined the board last July, and with COO Stephen Lay brought about a sea change at the company previously known as European Diamonds.

As the company moved forward from exploration and small scale production to serious project development at its Liqhobong kimberlite project in Lesotho, the new management was a symbol of the essential changes required to bring the project to fruition. Project discovery and project implementation require different skill sets, and more importantly, different mindsets. By bringing in Read, with his international financial, mining and engineering expertise, the company equipped itself to go forward and achieve its long term ambition of becoming a mid-tier diamond miner.

Liqhobong comprises two kimberlite pipes, set high in the Lesotho mountains – the small Satellite Pipe, and the much larger Main Pipe, some 300m away. Historically, the plan at the outset was to mine the relatively well-developed Satellite pipe at the rate of 290,000 carats per year to generate revenue, whilst conducting a programme of exploration and development on the adjacent Main Pipe. Satellite’s life was estimated at about 5-6 years, by which time the lower grade but higher value Main Pipe would have taken over as the major breadwinner and augmented production to almost the million carat mark.

With a proven reputation for producing desirable fancy yellows as well as good run of mine diamonds, Liqhobong seemed like a good bet when it was first acquired in 2004. Tentative figures of the period suggested that when both pipes were in production, attributable post tax profits – assuming 25% ownership by the Government of Lesotho - would have been running at around £7.5 million per annum.

But plans change along with circumstances, and as the Satellite plant built up towards design capacity during 2006, drilling and sampling at the Main Pipe began to indicate that its potential was far greater than originally envisaged. It’s a much larger pipe than Satellite, at some 8.5 ha, and although initially assumed to be lower in grade at about 17 cpht, the stone value was higher at around $70 per carat. First serious exploration by Kopane showed the pipe to be multiphase – the kimberlite contained within the pipe having been emplaced at different times – and some zones were significantly higher in grade than others. This concentrated minds towards developing the pipe as a priority, and whilst Satellite continued to be mined, its main role evolved to become that of processing weathered kimberlite from Main Pipe and treating bulk samples of Main Pipe ore.

Current diamond production is running at approximately 160,000 carats per year, the stones being sold in Antwerp by BHP Billiton on Kopane’s behalf. Since the commencement of production at Liqhobong in 2005, some 280,000 carats have been sold, raising over $16 million in revenue, of which $3.1 million was generated by sales in the first half of 2008. The majority of sales until now have been of a blend of stones produced from both Satellite and Main ore, and in the most recent auctions average value was $54 per carat. But a separate bulk sample from the K5 zone of the Main Pipe produced almost 17,000 carats which sold in July for an average of $99 per carat. This Main Pipe sample included three high-quality, high-value yellow stones, the best of which was over 13 carats in size and fetched $35,136 per carat, the highest value of any stone thus far mined at Liqhobong.

This value far exceeded that estimated by the preliminary feasibility study completed last year for the Main Pipe. Delivered in July 2007, this models a 55.5 million tonne resource at 27.6 cpht, with an initial mine life of 16 years. Recoverable carats are estimated at 15.3 million, of which 11.5 million are attributable to Kopane, with a run of mine value of $70 per carat. This gives a recoverable gross in-situ value of over $1 billion, of which Kopane can claim $805 million. Cash costs were estimated at $38 per carat, and capex of $100 million – which includes working capital and contingencies - was forecast.

The current resource and mine model in the PFS goes to 280 metres below surface, but diamond drilling shows that mineralisation is still present at 650 metres depth, so there is considerable upside to the resource tonnage. Further upside exists on grade, with a 2007 bulk sample showing 41 cpht. And as if more were needed, it is estimated that each 200,000 tonnes of Main Pipe kimberlite from the K4 and K5 zones could yield four stones larger than 50 carats and one stone of 100 carats or more – the so-called bonanza stones which have made mines like Gem Diamonds’ Letseng highly profitable in spite of an almost risible overall grade. Such stones have been specifically omitted from grade and value calculations at Liqhobong.

A C Howe, who reviewed the PFS, recommended the commencement of a Definitive Feasibility Study without delay, and it was to plan and implement this – as well as to conduct a complete reappraisal of the business - that Tim Read and Stephen Lay came to the company last July. They have recently been joined by Michael Wittet as a non-executive director, whose 36 years with De Beers will prove an asset, and last November, to mark this key turning point in the company’s direction and focus, the new name of Kopane Diamond Developments was almost unanimously approved by shareholders. The selection of the name also affirmed the company’s new focus on Lesotho, now that the kimberlite assets in Finland are under a JV arrangement whereby Mantle Diamonds, a privately owned UK company, can earn 70% of the properties.

The Definitive Feasibility Study now well under way, having been significantly upgraded to provide a bankable document, may capitalise on some of the upside suggested by the PFS, as it includes a programme of wide diameter drilling, the ore from which will be processed in a specially imported 5tph dense media separation plant currently being commissioned on site. Bulk sampling programmes – to be processed through the Satellite plant on a controlled basis – and core drilling may further develop the grade, large stone frequency and tonnage estimates. A new resource statement, with a higher proportion of measured and indicated resources, is planned for Q4, and the whole thing should be complete before the end of the year.

With all this going on, and a 20 year mining licence in their pocket, it seems odd that Kopane cannot attract interest from investors, particularly in the retail sector. The price has been in a steady decline for some years, in spite of all the promise of the company’s assets, and is presently at its all time low of just 7p per share, giving a market capitalisation of under £12 million.

Part of the reason for this has been the perception by investors of continual dilution of their interest. Shares in issue at June 2003 were 19,214,962. By June 2004, after the acquisition and initial fundraising for Liqhobong, shares in issue were 26,147,561.Today, Kopane has 169,611,283 shares in issue, accompanied by nearly 60 million warrants and options. Investors do not like dilution. In fact, retail investors are getting almost paranoid about the issue of further shares for cash, even when that cash is to be translated into balance sheet assets such as plant and equipment, or – as in the case of Kopane Developments – a full-frontal feasibility study which will allow them to secure project finance from lenders.

The most recent fund raising, undertaken to finance the DFS to completion, and set against the background of difficult market conditions, was not well received by retail investors. Even less well received was the accompanying announcement that the board had turned down 17p per share in an unsolicited and unidentified all-cash bid. Acceptance of this bid would – according to the company - have prevented the fundraising and damaged the company’s ability to complete the DFS. Chairman Read explained further: “This conditional approach was unsupported by cash in the bidder’s bank account, yet would have prevented us from continuing with our financing. What would you choose? Cash in your own bank account from already committed new investors of the stature of HSBC, or a stalled development programme whilst the bidder – with no guarantee of success – tried to arrange his bid finance in an appallingly difficult market?”

“Having canvassed our key shareholders for their opinion, we chose the bird in the hand,” he continued, “because completing the Main Pipe DFS needed to take priority over all other considerations. And at the end of the day, we expect that 17p will prove to be a massive understatement of the project’s value.

“We have a fantastic asset there, in the Main Pipe, and in a few months, when the DFS is complete, our investors should realise it.”

In the meantime, Read and his fellow directors – including Edward Marlow of 16% shareholder HSBC who is also chairman of Santana Diamonds - will have their work cut out to raise the mood of retail investors, who are already talking of the “next placing” with some despondency. The full DFS with bankable parameters, coupled with news of significant debt finance for Main Pipe construction, cannot come soon enough.

Creating a test environment to show which error-messages come from configuration problems.

2009-01-07T15:09:00.000-08:00

If you missed my article entitled; Kerberos in a SharePoint environment, which explains the Kerberos configuration and log on process, please read that for a better understanding of what is going on when accessing the website and base configuration.

After writing the previous article, some people asked me how to troubleshoot different error-messages they were getting. It can be difficult to pin-point exactly what the error means and going through the whole configuration again will not always reveal the problem. You may end up spending a lot of time searching for help on the internet, even though you will usually find the correct answer to your problem.

This is not a guide to all Kerberos-related errors, but I will set up a test environment and create different problems to show which error-messages come from the configuration problems I create. The error messages in server event logs will seem obvious sometimes, other times a larger investigation is needed on several server event logs and even network packet sniffers.

The setup, Where is the toolbox?, The problems to investigate, Date and time, Application pool accounts, Service Principle Name (SPN) configuration, you can read here

Conclusion

We have now set up a test environment, found some tools to use and generated error-messages to help us find some answers for date/time, application pool accounts and SPN configuration, if found in a production environment.

In the following article parts I will cover typical problems such as
Duplicate Service Principal Names
DNS Configuration mismatch
Delegation, when is it used and how to check it
Shared Service Provider (SSP), is it Kerborized?
More investigation with the network packet analyzer

Subsidized fuel consumption exceeds quota

2009-01-02T23:23:00.000-08:00

Following soaring global oil prices in the first nine months of 2008, consumption of subsidized fuel exceeded the allocated quota by more than 3 million kiloliters (kl).

State oil and gas company PT Pertamina, the sole distributor of the fuel, announced recently that consumption reached 39.40 million kl last year, higher than the earmarked quota of 35.54 million kl provided for in the state budget.

The government provides subsidies for three oil-based fuels; Premium gasoline, diesel and kerosene, as well as the 3 kilogram containers of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Achmad Faisal, Pertamina's director for marketing and trading, said Premium consumption reached 19.61 million kl, higher then the 16.98 million kl quota, while consumption of diesel reached 11.89 million kl which also exceeded the quota of 11.00 million kl.

Kerosene consumption reached 7.90 million kl, higher than its 7.56 million kl quota.

Pertamina said the consumption of Premium and diesel exceeded the initial quota because of the increasing numbers of vehicle users which grew around 6 percent last year.

"We predicted Premium and diesel consumption would surpass the allocated quota as happened in 2007," he said.

Faisal added the over target consumption of subsidized kerosene during 2008 was due to Pertamina's decision to halt the kerosene-to-LPG conversion program during the Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.

For 2009, the state budget has capped the subsidized fuel quota at 36.85 million kl -- 19.40 million kl for Premium, 5.80 million kl for kerosene and 11.61 million kl for diesel.

Downstream oil and gas regulator BPHMigas said it expected that actual consumption would not exceed those forecast.

"We will strengthen our supervision to avoid irregularities in subsidized fuel distribution. As the price gap between subsidized and non-subsidized fuels is narrowing, we expect to see less smuggling attempts and more use of non-subsidized fuel by motorists," BPHMigas chairman Tubagus Haryono said.

He added BPHMigas had carried out feasibility studies in several cities to establish integrated gas distribution which was expected to help reduce oil-based fuel consumption.

However, the agency has yet to implement this to promote greater energy efficiency in fuel consumption.

Tubagus said the "Smart Card" program aimed at motorists purchasing subsidized fuels was unlikely to be implemented during 2009, as the agency was still making feasibility studies.

Based on the benchmark price of fuel MOPS It Right

2008-12-21T05:37:00.000-08:00

The use of MOPS (Mean of Plats Singapore) by the Indonesian government to determine the price of benchmark price of Fuel Oil (BBM) in the country is right, this is not based on the conditions of the market price in the country so that the necessary reference price of the nearest market (border price).

However disclosed Head of Law and Legislation Directorate General of Oil and Gas, Susyanto respond to the notification, which questioned why the government chose as the basic price of MOPS benchmark price of fuel in the country. He also said that the use of the MOPS price is relatively in line with the price index published other institutions (the International Energy Administration) and several other countries.

Businesses criticize cooking oil VAT cut

2008-12-06T15:06:00.000-08:00

Businesses gave a cold response to a government plan to waive value-added tax (VAT) on up to 50,000 liters of unbranded packaged cooking oil each year, dismissing the amount as "too small" for the subsidy.

The amount eligible for the subsidy was peanuts compared to the 80 million liters of unbranded cooking oil used each month by households and industry, Indonesian Vegetable Oil Producers Association (Gimni) executive director Sahat Sinaga said on Friday.

"Ideally, the government should waive the VAT on 50,000 tons of unbranded cooking oil per month if it really wants to reduce burdens on the community," Sahat said.

The government plans to waive VAT on several categories of goods including unbranded packaged cooking oil, to help keep prices in check, Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said recently.

At present, unbranded cooking oils sell for between Rp 9,000 (75 US cents) and Rp 10,000 per kilogram.

"*Packaged* unbranded cooking oils eligible for the VAT cut are sold at traditional markets for prices within consumers' reach," Mari told members of House Commission VI (which oversees industry, trade, state-owned enterprises, cooperatives and small and medium enterprises).

The government plans to phase out sales of unpackaged cooking oils, which it hopes to replace with packaged unbranded cooking oils, Trade Ministry domestic trade director general Subagyo said recently.

"In future, we hope, unbranded packaged cooking oils will be slightly more expensive than unbranded unpackaged cooking oils, but cheaper than branded cooking oils," Subagyo said.

The unbranded packaged cooking oils the government plans to promote would be labeled Minyak Goreng Sawit or MGS (palm oil for cooking), Subagyo added.

In a bid to stabilize cooking oil prices, Sahat said, state logistics firm Bulog was working with businesses to market unbranded packaged cooking oils.

MGS cooking oil would be sold in 500-milliliter, 1-liter, 5-liter and 18-liter packages, said Indonesian Cooking Oil Industry Association chairman Adiwisoko Kasman (also involved in the marketing venture).

"We are now processing licenses with BPOM *Food and Drug Food Monitoring Agency* and MUI *Indonesian Ulema Council*, prior to the launch scheduled for January 2009," Adiwisoko said.

Network Access Protection Design Guide

2008-11-11T07:14:00.000-08:00

Network Access Protection (NAP) is one of the most anticipated features of the Windows Server® 2008 operating system. NAP is a new platform that allows network administrators to define specific levels of network access based on a client’s identity, the groups to which the client belongs, and the degree to which the client complies with corporate governance policy. If a client is not compliant, NAP provides a mechanism for automatically bringing the client into compliance (a process known as remediation) and then dynamically increasing its level of network access. NAP is supported by Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista®, and Windows® XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3). NAP includes an application programming interface that developers and vendors can use to integrate their products and leverage this health state validation, access enforcement, and ongoing compliance evaluation.
