Directors sold is because of margin call. They got the shares thru margin financing.

The worry is how much will be forced selling if margin called when price drop below 60 sens?

When the issues get settled, there is only one way for SD to be trusted again.

Yes, if some of you know the answer, is to have auditors full time in the Finance Division throughout the year to scrutinise all daily transactions. It would have to be KPMG that is doing it as they are the appointed auditor at this point of time.

That is the way that is being done for Armada so no issues arises.

Of course, audit fees will go to the million per year.

Guide to deciphering the different type of investors here.

Day/Low/Newbie Level Traders
Buy low, sell high in less than 24 hours to a few weeks. Comments are more like singing a song, talk poetry, spamming. In Malaysia, just like pasar malam talk. Don't really make much, usually "cukup makan" on monthly basis. Hence, the incessant involvement in forums with "junk talk". If you imagine them sitting behind a computer, its like looking at a man/woman with messy hair and leg on chair. May not wear undergarments, just a pajyama.


Mid Level Traders
Slightly better than Day/Low/Newbie Level Traders and can support with some basic analyses. Real world experience not much since many are at executive/mid-level management at best. Can make few RM hundred K every few months if lucky. Usually RM20k a month is considered good. Dress decent behind the computer.


Professional Investors
Well informed and have real world working experience to shift thru the relevant details. Can anticipate realistic issues, problems and solutions. Typically, C-suite experience. Usually can make RM millions per month, but investment strategy quite long term and need insider to help. Reads a lot of professional investment write-up that are very industry specific. Dress code is good and may have jewellery on them. Hair also well kept.

The issue is not with the revenue or the trade receivables. All contracts are there but only cannot be verified by KPMG.

Which means, the trade receivables get settled, ie. there is money movement into SB.

What we should be asking is that are these sort of transactions not in accordance with the Anti Money Laundering Act? SC is involved now.

Where is BNM? If BNM comes into picture, then its game over because as we all well know, any monies remitted to Malaysia in excess of RM200k per transaction, will have to be disclosed to BNM. That information is already in the database.

What is the minimum quarterly profit result for Armada to be acceptable?

RM350 million in Net Profit for every quarter (excluding non cash write backs aka. adjusted net profits) on average for the next 6.25 years is the minimum level that Armada to achieve with the new debt restructure.

HENCE,

Based on the financial review of Armada ,

PROOF – ARMADA REVENUES ARE NOT ENOUGH TO SETTLE DEBT
PROOF - 14.5 YEARS TO FULLY SETTLE DEBT IF REVENUE STABLE FOREVER BUT ITS FIRM IS ONLY UP TO 6 YEARS!
PROOF - NOT ENOUGH TO SETTLE INTEREST AND TAXES
PROOF – ARMADA CANNOT GET ANY MORE FINANCING

Armada’s ability to secure new contracts is likely to be 0%

PROOF - Armada has lost the momentum as a major player since 2014.
PROOF - Armada has been without a business development / sales team since 2014.
PROOF – Armada embroiled in various allegations from various countries including EU and INDONESIA.
PROOF – Armada’s strategic direction is uncertain due to controversies with its major shareholder.
PROOF – Armada’s behavior as a contractor has been one of litigation.
PROOF - You cannot bid for contracts if you do not have donor tankers.
PROOF – Armada’s recent FPSO is a lemon.

It is enough to pay off the RM13.5 billion debts (excluding interest)?

HOW TO MEET THE RM6 BILLION DEFICIT???

How much ADDITIONAL new revenue is needed for Armada?

=================================
Around RM15 billion in new sales / revenue.
=================================

FIRM ORDER BOOK NEEDS TO BE RM35 BILLION!!!!!!!!! NOT RM18.6 BILLION!!!!!!

That is not going to be achievable for Armada since it no longer has the reputation to get new contracts.

Based on the financial review of Armada with the latest addition of the 3 out of 3 GOOD NEWS, it was determined that (basically, nothing has changed from previously!) :-

6.25 years to go or 26 Quarters to go. RM80 million net profit per Quarter optimistic assumption. That means RM2.0 billion in profits.

Rm19.6 billion confirmed sales for next 6.25 years. Actual operations profit from Rm19.6 billion is around Rm8.0 billion. Rm8.0 billion has to pay for everything under the Gross Profit line. And this doesn't include principle debt payments of Rm12.5 billion. Q results don't matter. And when oil industry recovers in 2030, Armada's assets are nearly 20 years old. End of life.

It is enough to pay off the RM13.5 billion debts (excluding interest)?

HOW TO MEET THE RM6 BILLION DEFICIT???

How much ADDITIONAL new revenue is needed for Armada?

=================================
Around RM14 billion in new sales / revenue.
=================================

That is not going to be achievable for Armada since it no longer has the reputation to get new contracts.

So it’s the crunch time now. What are the options available to the shareholders?

1. Take Armada private
2. Sell Armada
3. Dispose assets to continue to try to survive

1. Taking Armada private

Do you think that the main shareholders want to do so when Armada is an endless money pit with gutter reputation? Finance 101, get rid before you incur more losses.

2. Sell Armada

No one is buying Armada in this market until 2030. And the new shareholders have to deal with an incompetent management.

And new owners have to come up with an additional RM5 billion to pay off its debts.!!

3. Dispose assets to continue to survive

Assets are worth nothing as long as the market doesn’t recover until 2030. The asset are still being valued too high. Disposing assets wouldn’t be enough to settle Armada’s debts anyway.

With the review of the latest results, it was exceeding our expectations. Our view is now further reinforced that Armada will default. How much time left before Armada defaults? It would be next year when it defaults.

Despite the enthusiasm on the following: -

Speculated improvement in cash flows - Insufficient in 2020
Speculated settlement on Claire - Circa 25% of the asking compensation by Armada
Speculated award of new contracts - Nil probability
Speculated sale of assets - Highest bidder bidding at 10% of current NBVs

Armada would not be aggressively pursuing debt restructuring negotiations if the above were not in positive light. A highly anticipated default will still happen.

Given that the option to take private, to sell out and sell assets are not viable for Armada, what route will Armada take in such a event? PN17 and administrators will come in for sure.

We expect that Armada will be broken into many pieces. For the FPSOs, it would be taken over by their respective JV partners and other assets will be sold off to the highest bidder.

We expect institutional funds to lose all investments and creditors will not be paid 80% what is owed to them while debtors will be taken to court wherever possible.

As for the main shareholder, they have already clawed back their investments when they part disposed in 2011/12.

Looks like its "ride the train for as far as you can" before it breaks down.

o, with the above still unresolved, what are the plans of the Shareholders? For now, they have no plan as of yet, and hold the stance of what till the "shi.t" happens before acting.

For the time being, they have in place the following

1) 3% take-up rate of Armada shares in open market to support Armada in future (with the recent sell down of 2+%). PNB and AmanahRaya does not want to participate.

2) Sway public and private perception of Armada's un-resolvable issues as solved or in good standing aka fake news (despite overwhelming evidences to the contrary available on the internet) by deploying foot solders into forum like i3.

However, the analyst are not buying into this bluff and have consistently provided evidences to the contrary.

Now, lets have a look on the highly anticipated Claire case.

"The offer on the table was always 25% of Claire's book value."

We have noted multiple postponements. We have also received information that the entire technical team of the Claire case have left Armada last year. As we are aware, only the solicitors of the case remain.

Which begs the question, why is Armada keep requesting for case postponement?

1) The out of court settlement (offer on the table) is no longer offered?
2) The outcome of the case (after comparing the facts from both parties) are already known?

Is Armada trying to avoid the eventual outcome and salvage something that doesn't exist anymore?

Despite OPECs production cuts for the past 1 year, they have not managed to reduce stockpile. This is not taking into account the sanctions placed on Iran. And the extension of production cuts well into 2020, highlights how frail demand is.

Demand for oil is weak plus US shale oil continues to increase everyday.

A higher oil price this time, since 2014, has not boosted exploration and new contract awards since that time.

Geopolitical events and OPEC cuts gives a adjusted oil price of USD35 per barrel.

People just do not seem to remember or just refuse to research the shareholding movement.

There was a point in time, a few years back, when PNB (under Wahid Omar, a staunch supporter of Armada) sold its entire stake in Armada. At that moment too, EPF sold its stake in Armada to below 5%. Yes, they were once not considered a substantial shareholder.

When that happened, Armada was dangerously going to tank in price. Hence, there was a concerted effort to have EPF to up its take by another 3% which is what you have until a month or so ago to support Armada's share price.

But with the debt crisis and the tank in share price to what it is now, EPF could not maintain support for Armada (in the larger scheme of things).

Armada would be in a better off position at 15 sens because it is a risk and threat to the banks if they were not going to support Armada. PN17 is so easy to do and who loses at the end of the day?

The main shareholders have already made monies out of Armada in 2012, what have they got to lose? Nothing. The banks have.

With the new loan, it makes more sense to stay at 15 sens.

Thank you for the A team of Armada of the yesteryears in talking to ONGC and winning this project with Sharpooji.

Despite your absence for the last 5+ years, Sharpooji had carried on your fight to win this contract. The entire bidding team was Sharpooji!

Now Shapooji with carry on Armada's legacy. Sharpooji owns, builds and finances its own FPSO. Armada will just provide the footsoldiers to operate it only.

Sharpooji will carry on where Armada has stopped.

Sharpooji will be the next Armada.

Here is a tip.

Some forumers here have access to IB reports. There is a Singapore based IB which covers Armada. This IB in particular, had worked and was intended to the underwriter for Armada's now defunked "Private Trust" plan.

What is interesting about this particular IB is that it had all access to the latest financial details of Armada, our proofs and issues. It was the most upto date and accurate picture of Armada's future.

After they did the review, the private trust plan was scrapped.

The good news is that its sister analyst company used this info for its coverage of Armada. Find out which IB is this. One forummer here mentioned its name twice on their downgrade.

Hint: not DBS, not UOB. :)

So, with the above still unresolved, what are the plans of the Shareholders? For now, they have no plan as of yet, and hold the stance of what till the "shi.t" happens before acting.

For the time being, they have in place the following

1) 3% take-up rate of Armada shares in open market to support Armada in future (with the recent sell down of 2+%). PNB and AmanahRaya does not want to participate.

2) Sway public and private perception of Armada's un-resolvable issues as solved or in good standing aka fake news (despite overwhelming evidences to the contrary available on the internet) by deploying foot solders into forum like i3.

However, the analyst are not buying into this bluff and have consistently provided evidences to the contrary.
