XOX was a loss making company before its IPO, it is quite a surprise for me that it was allowed to be listed on Bursa. What probably helped was a rather optimistic (with hindsight) profit forecast that it issued in its IPO prospectus.
XOX was not able to hit the revenue and profit forecasts, it wasn't even close:
The above numbers are for the year up to 31 December 2011, while the company was listed on June 10, 2011 and knew already the numbers up to then. In other words, it only needed to forecast another seven months or so. And still it was able to overestimate its revenue by a factor 4, and instead of a forecasted PAT of RM 20 Million it booked a loss of RM 20 Million. Forecasting is probably not XOX's forte.
It looks like the Securities Commission was also not exactly "impressed" by XOX's forecast, and announced the following administrative actions: a reprimand for two executive directors of XOX and for AmInvest Bank as the principal adviser for the IPO of XOX.
Is a reprimand really enough, will it act as a future deterrent? I strongly doubt it.
