Hmm, really surprised with Silterra's earnings. Almost breaking even and probably a money spinner in the coming quarters. Worth to take a look at this again.

O&G segment is also holding steady with additional income stream coming online soon.

Suggest don't be bothered by daily swings of the stock. Buy based on conviction of the future business, growth and earnings.

A stable business with predictable income stream. Huge market yet to be untapped with Sarawak and Brunei. Lots of growth opportunities. Plus, valuation is so attractive.

PBA regained some foothold and now roughly back to it's original price before announcement. This tells us that market conviction for the stock did not wane and they predict water consumption usage will definitely increase in the coming years, from domestic household and mainly from factories and businesses.

PBA's PE at 9 and below NTA. Vs Ranhill PE at 30 and trading two times of NTA.

Assuming same logic, PBA should be trading at RM6 right now. Severely undervalued. Looking at the massive cash pile and being a cash cow, expect better dividends and revaluation.

CEO didn't say they want to stay small. Instead, quite the opposite. That's the reason for the huge acquisition of Quantum China.

If no one appreciates penetrating to China market is a big deal, then it's best they stay with speculative stocks.

All these earnings take time materialize. Now, it's just the beginning. No one can see the full potential yet.

For those who said bank borrowings are low and banks can borrow, I'd like to know:

1) How is bank borrowings low when Cash balance is RM6m and Borrowings is at RM58m?

2) Do you think the bank will want to lend to Mynews, a company in retailing industry which will we expect to suffer another 3 quarters of heavy losses? If you are a bank, would u want to lend money to them?

3) What will happen when Mynews cannot get borrowings and investors to take up shares? A rights issue will definitely ensue. Invest with great caution.

TheStar reported:

“We expect MyNews to see at least three additional quarters of losses. The gradual easing of the MCO will be inadequate to drive sufficient foot traffic for MyNews stores to break even over the near term. In addition, spending ability has seen an overall deterioration, ” it said

“Maintain Sell given MyNews’ lofty valuations and extremely challenging headwinds. Target price of 72 sen remains unchanged, ” it said.

Additional 3 more quarters of losses. With cash balance of RM5mil and cash burn of RM7m per quarter, Mynews should need rights issue or private placement soon.

Good years ahead
Last year, QCL managed to secure a cloud infrastructure contract to provide exabyte-size cloud hyper-scale supply and managed services for a leading Beijing-based cloud computing technology company.

The project has been completed and, according to Tay, QCL’s service for the project was well-received. Now, with full control over QCL’s operations, Kronologi will be more committed to the China market, which he expects to be among the largest contributors by country to group revenue and profitability.

“The vendors of QCL remain committed to Kronologi’s unique proposition and see value in our company. The core management team in China will continue to run QCL, but we will also be getting more involved moving forward. With this proposed acquisition, Kronologi as a group now represents the Quantum brand and range of solutions in the Asian region, including key markets like Hong Kong, Taiwan, India and now China,” he elaborates.

For those who has doubts, please ask the management during AGM. Plus there is a recent article by Focus few days ago interviewing the CEO.

After looking carefully at KPMG's queries again, it seems to be the issues at hand are rather superficial.

1. Gave address of Co Sec instead of office address.
2. No reply from debtors on confirmation (happened very frequently in almost all audits, if you ask the auditors).
3. Using truecaller to verify owner of IT company. I have my reservations on effectiveness on using this as an audit procedure.

But let's look at the real picture.

1. Were the contracts genuine and payment made to SB?
Yes, because most of the debts have been recovered.

2. Do the clients and vendors really exist?
Yes, because SB received payments from the clients and vice versa.

So what's the issue here? The issue here is that the quality of SB's clients are bad. KPMG noted these customers are new and had low share capital. Several customers are in the same building. Well, let's be honest here. These contracts are awarded to cronies and to make things simple they just open offices within the same building for ease.

Kudos to KPMG for taking the extra mile using Truecaller to identify the owner. KPMG got a bit too adventurous but what did KPMG really uncover? KPMG can only prove that these clients are not worthy because they are cronies but they cannot say the financial statements are misstated.

Not sure if you guys would believe me this, but there are tonnes of many other listed and government linked companies in Malaysia that have cronies as well. Just that they spent a lot of money on nicer offices and covered up pretty well with good websites, etc. Haha.

RealMad, i believe so as well. As much as i want to think Serba became fradulent, i find KPMG's findings and process of audit verification are really funny. How can they use Truecaller and sight address wrongly, etc. Plus it's very normal to have address same as your Co sec actually. Shouldn't the audit partner know this if the audit senior doesnt??

In all honesty, there could be funny scenarios where share cap etc is low but that's how Middle east do business. There are cronies around for sure like Msia but it's not fraudulent. It's just awarding contracts to non-deserving companies lol

i think it's important to note here is that 50 CU stores are based on the situation a year ago, where management thinks that the Covid pandemic will improve. However, not only it did not improve, but it has worsened with surging all time high cases.

So, that forecast of 50 CU stores will no longer happen, as it's a corporate suicidal to invest so much at this point of time, where you will just incur more losses, with all the new tighter SOPs.

Still have a lot of naysayers despite good quarter profits mainly due to huge borrowings and low cash balance. This is not something that can be improved overnight. This sort of fundamentals will persist even after several quarters of outstanding profits.

So, if this is does not fit your risk appetite, this investment is not right for u. Investors here could be willing to wait for internally generated profits arising from dividend income from the JV and this is something we should respect.

ur calculation is wrong. every store CU opens, it will incur losses due to capex required. it will breakeven after a few years per store.

meaning, every store CU open, the higher the losses it will have to incur in the coming quarters.

Con-stock? No dividends? How would u know for sure? Once IPP generate sufficient cashflows and Jaks become a cashcow, there will be dividends by then.

why distribute dividends at a time when they need cashflows to buy the remaining 10% stake? if they give dividends now, u should be extremely worried instead.

2021-04-16 21:17 | Report Abuse

Sslee, i think almost everyone in this forum won't understand what u are trying to explain here. But it's fine, let me share my thoughts.

The reason why Jaks' accountant mentioned Q3 is correct because the corrective adjustment is done in the subsequent quarter. hence, the YTD 12 months figures are correct after this adjustment.

Jaks' accountant would assume that u would look at Q1 - Q4 published quarterly report figures collectively to arrive to the correct YTD figures, and not looking at Q3 solely. This is a common practice even for auditors to allow adjustments to be made correct as long as within the year. Anyway, the financial statements are presented for 12 months, not monthly.

Further the "misstatement threshold rule" by Bursa does not apply to anything below "Total Comprehensive Income", which are the "Owner" and "NCI" part. Hence, auditors are not concerned either. If the misstatement occurs above it, for instance revenue or cost of sales, an errata report must be published to Bursa.

Hope the above clarifies.

Thanks sslee. the reply seems appropriate and now i understand what is happening as an ex-auditor.
