Serba Dinamik name will be changed to Serba Dynamite. I think this is more appropriate name now. Hahaha.
I saw this comment at 6.03pm. From Dinamik to Dynamite? It sets me thinking.
Better warn all dear i3 Formers to be very careful now less they get hurt
And these are all the Red Flags found in this Ticking Time Bomb
First see the Feb 2021 results of Serba

Revenure jumped from Rm1,360,549,000 to Rm1,815,648,000
Up Rm455,099,000 or Up 33.4%
Profit is Rm202,149,000
EPS is 5.45
NAV up from 66 sen to 89 sen (impressive? or too good to be true? we shall SEE)
And a dividend of 1.60 sen
From all points Results look excelent (on the face value not until )
Not until?
NOT UNTIL YOU GO AND STUDY THE DETAILS IN THE BALANCE SHEET VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY
Please go look up Feb 2021 Result of Serba in Bursa Website & follow as we explain in details
See this
Trade and other receivables
Rm1,865,070,000 (At 31.12.2020)
Rm1,256,132,000 (At 31.12.2019)
SO RECEIVABLES AFTER ONE YEAR HAS INCREASED BY RM608,938,000
THAT"S RM609.9 MILLIONS (IOU) THIS IS NOT CASH BUT RECEIVABLES ONLY
AND TOTAL RECEIVABLES BALLOONED TO RM1.865 BILLIONS!!!
Debts owed by Who? Will they be collected? If not when will they turn into BAD DEBTS?
See What Calvin Johor Sifu Taught About Receivables
4. RECEIVABLES IS NOT CASH
This was when I bought into Megan Media at around 67.5 cents. From
the Balance Sheet Megan Media showed a P/E of only 3. NTA at over
Rm2.00. It also pay a small dividend.
So many have been tricked by the “blue ray” disc hype touted by
Megan Media Bosses. However, My Johor Sifu stood his ground &
rejected buying into this popular stock which so many others bought.
Why? He questioned the High Amount of RECEIVABLES In Megan
Media’s Accounts. RECEIVABLE IS NOT CASH. What is CASH Then?
According to my Johor SIFU The Smart Accountant, “CASH IS ONLY
CASH IF THE CASH IS RECEIVED AND DEPOSITED SAFELY IN
THE BANK”.
Megan Media could not collect those (IOU) Or Receivables which are fake anyway. Finally unable to pay Bank Loan ....
Megan Media went
bankrupt and got delisted. It was found out later that all the Blue Ray
Disc Factories were non existent. RECEIVABLES WERE ALL FAKE OR
FICTITIOUS.
Take a look at the Megan Media Result of Year 2006 (15 years ago)

From the Above Everyone Gone GaGa Chasing Megan Media. But just like Serba the Profits were parked Under "RECEIVABLES" AND NO CASH
So many were conned kaw kaw. Remisiers, Accountants also got conned
My Johor Sifu did audit. He does not trust receivables but CASH AND CASH IN THE BANK ONLY!
SO SERBA PROFITS WERE NOT REAL PROFITS BUT (IOU) RECEIVABLES
Look at Cash
Cash and cash equivalents
RM836,352,000 (31.12.2020)
RM 1,306,590,000 (31.12.2019)

NOW LOOK AT BANK BORROWINGS
Loans and borrowings
3,127,514,000 (31 December 2020)
2,938,624,000 (31 December 2019)
DEBT HAS INCREASED BY RM188.9 MILLIONS TO RM3.127 BILLIONS
What Kind of Balance Sheet is this?
From the Cooked Up Presentation that look so good
To the Horror Results in the Balance Sheet?
Now Let Us Dig Further:
Where Did Serba Get So Good Profits last 5 Years
In the Annual Report they look like Going Up In a Straight Line
How Come Serba Did So Well While Petronas' Top OGSE Companies like Dayang, Penergy, Carimin, Uzma & Sapura Energy were all Struggling to Survive?
Aha! Serba got profits from these places
See
For the quarter ended 31 December 2020 (“Q4FY20”), the Group recorded revenue of RM1,815.6 million which was 33.4% higher than corresponding quarter of the preceding year (“Q4FY19”) due to strong activities from O&M and EPCC segment. The gross profit for the quarter stood at RM307.8 million or 17.0% of total revenue. The Group also recorded profit before taxation of RM227.4 million, 63.5% higher as compared to profit before taxation of RM139.1 million in Q4FY19.
O&M contributed 82.5% of revenue in Q4FY20 with an increase of RM338.0 million or 29.2% against Q4FY19. The increase was due to higher activities from our MRO activity in Middle East region such as Oman as well as Malaysia. The segment recorded gross profit of RM255.3 million in Q4FY20.
Profits came from Middle East such as OMAN?
ICT segment boost its revenue to RM113.0 million in Q4FY20, higher by RM56.4 million compared to Q4FY19. This evidenced the Group’s initiative to expand its operation in ICT business activities worldwide. Aside from the contribution of the existing contracts which is related to customised solutions involving software developments, the increase was also contributed by contracts in UAE and Qatar for services relating to Extended Reality (“XR”) training applications
UAE & QATAR AGAIN?
EPCC revenue recorded a total of RM203.0 million in current quarter, higher by RM59.1 million as compared to Q4FY19, which contributed 11.2% of the Group’s revenue in Q4FY20 . Revenue from EPCC segment was derived from our various contracts in UAE, Turkmenistan and Malaysia. The segment recorded a gross profit of RM29.0 million yielding a gross margin of 14.4%.
UAE & TURKMENISTAN? SO OBSCURE PLACES?
Got Payment or Not?
NO!
No wonder must ask for Money by private placement
See
On 5 May 2020, the Company has completed the private placement exercise, in which the Company has issued 306,507,000 new shares with an issue price of RM1.49 per placement share.
Whoever swallowed these PP shares at Rm1.49 have lost 44% By now. Too bad.
SERBA will yet need to borrow more money & Place out More PP Shares
But all look bleak as S&P Global Has Downgraded SERBA from B+ to a B-
The Cost of Funds will be harder to get. And if get will incur higher Bank Interest
SO PLEASE STAY SAFE
IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY
BEST REGARDS TO ALL i3 FORUM FRATERNITY

gohkimhockReceivables are classified as current assets and are expected to be received in 1 year period. Customers are obligated to pay the amount to the company. If it is not paid, it will be offset as provision for bad debts. It is correct Calvin.

brian3381means, explosive high risk loh… if canot collect money. all sweet talk now.... talk big la tis karim...
SsleeNeed to be fair the receivable is 90 days if you compare with revenue. Things I do not like about Serbadk are 1. Inventories: RM 1.667 billion what kind of business you need so much inventories and some more at client site? 2. Acq of PPE: RM 1.04 billion. What kind of business where you spend so much on PPE every year untill cash flow is negative?
02/06/2021 8:47 AM
SsleeYour story is wrong on Xingquan. The external auditor is as guity as the Board for signing off the financial yearly report with no red flag raised.
Lewis Leecalvin Tan. I remember your nemesis Uncle Phillips highly recommended it last year and could not stop promoting the company everyday, how is he doing ? dumping all shares already ??
02/06/2021 9:27 AM
stockfreakMaybe Singaporean is not used to hanky panky.
Lewis LeeI haven't seen uncle phillips in I3 ages ago ! Maybe he has woken up already and dare not comment here anymore ??
02/06/2021 10:01 AM
SsleeDear calvintaneng, I am glad the external auditors are now taking their job seriously. Those day the auditors and independent directors are as guilty as the CEO and executive directors.
Hence as minority shareholders I encourage shareholders to attend AGM, ask the hard questions and hold the Board and auditor answerable, accountable and responsible

Currently the pandemic is still raging and online marketing certainly has a good future. Otherwise Scenery won't be stuck here for so long. Scenery is brilliant!!!

Yu_and_MeeUntil real case judged guilty or not guilty, so now still unknown and uncertain. As of now, there's still risk to put money into this company.
02/06/2021 1:27 PM
Yu_and_MeeHaving say so, we should give Dato Karim the benefit of doubt for time being until everything is clear. Invest or not, you decide for your money because no one give a damn on your money.
emsvsiSerba Dinamik shareholders should diversify their holdings into safe havens (Defensive) that are undervalued (Value) and which has shown year-over-year growth (Growth) during the pandemic and unprecedented times
The Top Defensive + Value + Growth Stock is MMC (2194)
The Value of MMC (2194) Senai Airport City (SAC) land alone is worth *RM4.48 billion, more than the entire market capitalisation of MMC, without even including the crown jewel Ports division (PTP, Northport, Johor Port, Penang Port, Tanjung Bruas Port), Listed Entities 37.6% Malakoff and 30.9% Gas Malaysia, Engineering (MRT1 & 2 and upcoming MRT3 - MMC-Gamuda JV)
*Senai Airport City Value = (2,055 - 11.07) acres * RM24.1 mil / 11.07 acres = RM 4,478.22 million @ RM 4.48 billion
- Senai Airport land - 2,055 acres as @ 31 December 2020 source Annual Report 2020 - Shengda New Energy Sdn Bhd purchases 11.07 acres of land in Senai Airport City from MMC for RM 24.1 mil in April 2021

stockraiderThe bond prices is always a good forward indicators of the future financial health of the company, In serba case base on the bond price the future look pessimistic & dire loh...!!

Whats that tell U on Serba bond price with a sell quotation on 0.45 when the bond maturity is on 2022, with a par value of 1.00.?
That means high chance that Serba will go bankrupt mah...!
But still investing in Serba bond is still a better preposition of holding on or buying into serba shares loh!
I admire Philip for his decisive and fast action in selling Serbadk and buy Serbadk US bond mature on 2022. Philip is looking at multibagger when serbadk redeem the US bond mature in 2022.
If their books are cooked n his political connection cant save his ass then the Bond may be cooler than water
Anyway Philip will earn big on the Bond if Karim can do a magic lah
High risk high rewards
03/06/2021 10:50 AM
Michael KwokIt got discrepancies in the number one of the account.Is not the total total number.So is easier to identify compare with total number.Will take next month to solve it.
Philip ( buy what you understand)I prefer to talk less and let my long term portfolio results do the talking for me. As for SCOMI+NETX+TALAMT mastermind? I rest my case.

Philip ( buy what you understand)If you pick half bursa, you will get average results. Some big explosions which you downplay, some poor earnings which you push Uber the rug until it recovers, and some which you trumpet across the entire earth when it works.
But how much did you buy?
I thought you proclaims that you sold 8 houses to buy NETX... Do you deny?
takuhara83hmm i dont think there are really any red flags lah. they just hired EY for the external assessment. the company just successfully thrived over the past 28 years with no issue. same could not be said for kpmg. kpmg is surrounded by many controversies kot over the past years. misconduct mismanagement you name it. doesnt make sense if serba want to hire EY if they themselves involve in fraud in the first place.
