Equity method in accounting is the process of treating investments in associate companies. Equity accounting is usually applied where an investor entity holds 20–50% of the voting stock of the associate company, and therefore has significant influence on the latter's management.
One of the most notable advantages of the Equity Method is its ability to enable the investor to record, show and prove a more truthful and realistic balance of income. The income on the balance sheet shows all earnings from all investments, not solely from the main company.
AYS has issued a total of 420 million shares. Based on the last traded share price of 69.5 sen its market capitalisation is Rm 292 million.
AYS reported Rm 36.389 million profit before tax for quarter ending September and its PBT of Rm 46.713 million for its previous quarter ending June. The total of Rm 83.2 million for 2 quarters or half year. All this profit was made when there was MCO lockdown. Since there is no more MCO lockdown, the company should be able to make more profit in the next half year. Even assuming its next half PBT is the same, its annual PBT will be Rm166 million.
AYS’ market cap is Rm 292 million. If a listed company buys 20% of AYS, the cost will be Rm 58.4 million. Based on equity accounting, the profit is 20% X Rm 166 million = Rm 32.2 million.
The listed company can report Rm 32.2 million profit from buying 20% of AYS for Rm 58.4 million.

KSL price chart is super bullish as shown below. KSL last traded at Rm 1.33.
...right.
Statements like these make me wonder KYY, or whoever is writing on behalf of KYY even realise what they are saying.
Bursa's regulations state that a listed company should have a free float of 25% of its listed shares.
The controlling owner/major shareholder owns 63.25% of the listed shares.
The author of this blog is correct, to equity account AYS's earnings into their balance sheet, a company has to buy at least 20% of the listed shares.
63.25% + 20% = 83.25%.
Which means AYS will be in breach of Bursa's regulations and will have to untangle the mess. One of the two parties will have to sell down their stake to match the free float requirements.
Would it be someone who's just bought 20% of the listed shares? I don't think so.
Will it be the major shareholder? If AYS's prospects are rosy, do you honestly think that he'll be okay with selling down?
Or a final choice is to do another private placement. We don't know yet again if that's something the owner is keen on.
Seriously, whoever's writing for KYY, please at least learn to read up the facts on listing rules and regulations before spouting out nonesense.

Based on Charles T's comment, he must have bought my shares when I started selling at 91 sen about 5 weeks ago. In the last few days, I have been queuing to buy at cheaper prices. You should sell your shares to me to learn a good lesson about charting.
HIGHCHAPERAL and you should attend FA and TA lessons given my MR Ooi Teck Bee.
AYS has been going up in the last few days when I started buying. This is the best buying opportunity when its trend is changing from down trend to uptrend.

Disappointed such a statement came out from Uncle KYY.
He just does not sound like a business minded person. Nor could be identified as a skilled & talented shares investor.
Uncle KYY .... sad to hear such a things from YOU
