Kim Eng Research in a Nov 24 research report says: “Revenue from the marine division plunged by 58.3% y-o-y to US$4.4 million in 3Q10 as five vessels were dry-docked for major overhaul and equipment upgrade to take advantage of the current lull period. The oilfield projects division was the only bright spot, scoring a remarkable 378.4% jump in revenue to US$4.6 million.

Falcon Energy target cut to 60 cents by Kim Eng
Kim Eng Securities cuts Falcon Energy (5FL.SG) target to $0.60 vs $0.85, pegged at 10x FY11 P/E, after lowering FY10-FY12 EPS estimates by 20%-40% to reflect weaker-than-expected 3Q10 performance.
3Q10 earnings down 57.2% on-year at US$2.8 million ($3.7 million) due to dry-docking of 5 vessels for major overhaul, lower vessel charter and utilization rates.
Still, keeps Buy call on valuation grounds; “despite maintaining a cautious near-term outlook, management is optimistic of a gradual recovery of the marine and offshore industry by 2Q11.”
Shares +1.2% at $0.425.

Japan’s space programme: A blaze of glory
The Japanese chalk up two successes in space
THE week before last, a falcon was launched into space: Elon Musk’s privately financed Falcon 9 heavy-lifting rocket. This week a different falcon returned from the void. On June 13th Hayabusa, as the bird is known in Japanese, streaked through the night sky of southern Australia to deliver to Earth what researchers hope will be the first sample of rock collected from the surface of an asteroid.
As the picture suggests, most of the craft burned up on re-entry. But a small part, protected by a heat shield made of carbon-phenolic resin, survived and landed in the desert near Woomera. This capsule, it is hoped, will contain material from Itokawa, a half-kilometre-long asteroid whose orbit crosses the Earth’s. …
Space: Feathering the Falcon’s nest
Falcon 9, a private space rocket that might eventually carry people into orbit, has just passed its first test
ELON MUSK is not, to paraphrase James Watson’s bon mot about Francis Crick, a man given to modest moods. That is a useful quality in an entrepreneur whom financial nemesis has, on occasion, stared in the face. But this week, though he is by his own admission relying on loans from his friends to cover his day-to-day expenses while details of his divorce are worked out, he might be forgiven a little hubris.
The co-founder of PayPal, and developer of the Tesla, the first modern electric sports car, has long wanted to get into the space business as well. Now he has. The launch into orbit from Cape Canaveral, on June 4th, of a test capsule carried by a Falcon 9 rocket built by his company SpaceX, is a turning-point in the development of private space flight. Though the industry’s coming of age is still some way in the future, this launch marks its transition from childhood to adolescence. …
