Scoop  of  the  Day:  The  mandatory  cash  offer  for  NeraTel  (BUY,  TPS$0.66),  a leading  Telco  equipments  and  retail  payment  system  provider,  will  close  at  5.30 p.m. on 8 January 2013 (next Tuesday). We believe that the privatisation will most likely  fail  in  view  of  the  poor  valuation  (7.0x  T12M  P/E  vs.  its  peer's  average  of 11.8x) with the group's management as well as independent financial advisor (IFA) saying no to the offer. With a much stronger parent - Northstar on board,  NeraTel is in a favorable position to capitalise on the strong Telco spendings in the MENA region as well as robust demand for retail payment system in ASEAN market.  We believe that the stock is grossly  undervalued  with the upcoming catalyst  possibly being a record FY12 performance along  with  a hefty  4.0S¢ dividends, translating to an attractive yield of 8%. The counter remains as the top pick for our Singapore Tech coverage with 1) long and established track record, 2) zero borrowings with solid  cash  hoard,  3)  profit  growth  of  56.3%  and  4)  an  impressive  ROE  of  more than 30%.
