That website is hosting on a shared hosting and created via WIX? Who uses WIX for web building? Little high school kids? Not even WordPress with own dedicated hosting. If this doesn't smell like something is rotten, then I dont know what to say. Serba did that with all their tiny 'affiliate' companies that awarded them huge mega projects. All their partners' website are created on cheap shared hosting using free templates.

FACT 01: ARBB announced it plans to go for NASDAQ Listing. Then it posted on Q1 2023 they did submit but there was delay.

Result: Achieved. ARBB (NASDAQ) now listed and valued at US4.86 per share or market capitalisation of US$116million or RM522million. ARBB (Malaysia) owns 95% of ARBB (NASDAQ). The parent ARBB (M) now has current valuation of ONLY RM134million. Bear in mind that ARBB (M) has other business besides ARBB (NASDAQ) such as Cloud service and ERP.

How would you like to buy a house for RM134,000 but the house comes with gold bars worth RM522,000?

Do your math, if you must, please.

Disclosure: I am a shareholder of ARBB and ARBB PA. May continue to buy in next 72 operational hours of writing.

I have to agree here with felet404
the reason why SAP is expensive is the database Oracle which most SAP customers use.
the 70% less pricing is definitely fake if you use the free database MySQL and add bolts and nuts to it.

=> comparing Kancil with Benz and then claim that Kancil is cheaper is very Idio_tic

Since Marcus want to talk about Fact, let's talk about fact:
1. Based on your Fact 01, you buy a house but the house got gold bars, what if those gold bars are just gilded bricks to CON you? The financial report is so questionable and I really doubt the professionalism of the auditors, if this ARBB company goes down, the auditors should bear certain responsibility!
You still have not answer my questions if you can name a few companies that using ARB super duper ERP software which provides the company a revenue of 150-300 million? I bet a lot of professionals from IT line never heard of it.

2. I am also the shareholder of this company, just that I have doubt on the person that runs the company, which I heard a lot of negative news about the MDs, now it is too late for me to exit as the share prices are worthless! Good luck to you if you still want to pursue on this stock, it makes me wonder if you are being paid to entice other innocent investors to buy this share. Lol

If it is RM300 million turnover and software is 30% of SAP price, then there is a hell of a lot of software floating around Malaysia and SEA, Asia, Gaia, Galaxy, Universe and maybe even Andromeda.

so far no one ever heard of any software.
The said RM300 million software must be so good that it is invisible.

I am delighted when there are differences in opinions. Arguments backed by facts are powerful.

Accusations that there are no products visible is shallow. Why? Independent parties have to express opinions on Financial Statements.

External Auditors are bound by the best audit practice issued by World No. 1 body IFAC (International Federation of Accountants)

To state Serba Dinamik only reinforce two points:

1. Didn’t External Auditors find out the irregularities? Of course, the damage was done, but was uncovered, nonetheless.

2. Aren’t one conveniently overlooking the External Auditors work over 99.93% or over 1,400 public listed companies which reported Unqualified Financial Statements.

Thus, if ARBB wishes to defraud the public, shouldn’t it do so via Private limited (Sdn Bhd) instead of risking it in public eye under EA scrutiny?

Oh yes, I see the users like to hurl insults and blanket statements. Well, I suggest to desist from it as it reflects your upbringing by parents. ( I ignore such negativities)

Upgrade the forum to facts exchange and some of contributors do which I highly appreciate.

Context of pricing ERP.

ERP systems are usually customised. For SME (Small-Mid sized firms) don’t need a full suite of ERP system. SAP Business One Perpetual License at US$3,213 per user. if you put 10 users for 5 departments, over 5 year period, the costs RM8.87million. SAP is too expensive for SMEs using a five year subscription contract cost Thus, many independent ERP providers can compete with prices as little as RM0.5million per year or RM2.5million over 5 year contract can find a niche market or 70% less to SAP Business One Perpetual License.

ARB Bhd is well positioned to focus on this largely underserved SME segment.

ARB Bhd is well positioned to focus on this largely underserved SME segment.

In other words, to have bare essentials ERP and out-price SAP are plausible.

Are the Reported Financial Statements reliable?
External Auditors are bound by Auditing Standards to obtained SUFFICIENT APPROPRIATE AUDIT EVIDENCES (SAAE) to form an opinion on ARBB’s Financial Statements including the Revenues segments.

Again, if you see my earlier posts, SAAE are strongest audit evidence that ARBB is legit on its operating businesses.

To state that Financial Statements are absurd or foolish is to accuse the External Auditors failure in delivering their duty to express an opinion based on SAAE.

ARBB Audited reported is UNQUALIFIED Audit Opinion meaning that one can rely with relative confidence on its reported finances similar to other listed entities such as Maybank, Sime Darby or Small firms.

Can anyone give evidence(s) that EA have failed to in obtaining SAAE on Financial statements thus making it unreliable?

Can anyone provide evidences:
[1] that cast doubts on ARBB’s reported profits of RM25million over last 4 quarters giving PE ratio of 5times based on current market capitalisation of RM124million?
[2] to state that ARBB’s Net tangible asset is 31 sen per share which is over 65% discount as its market price at 10.5 sen (at time of writing)?

SAP HOLDINGS "of Asia" is Here!

SAP is world leading "CRM and ERP provider" with market valuation at EURO60BILLION or RM290 BILLION.

ARBB offers the SAP solutions at affordable price about 70% less in pricing "compared to SAP Holdings" in South Asian countries with proven profitability since 2019.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Clarifications
The context of my posting is ARBB offers ERP solutions that is so attractive making it the SAP of Asia. SAP offers ERP solutions in which ARBB can under-cut on pricing with its own Customised ERP solutions.

I didn’t mean that ARBB is able to buy from SAP and then resell it at 70% less. How can that be unless done so at a loss?

I am being quoted out of context.

I'm not sure if any SME looking for an ERP solution would consider ARB, as its website has almost zero information. While its "About Us" section highly proclaims "We focus on software development in cloud customised ERP and IoT Solutions to reduce dependence on external vendors in order to capture higher share of markets".

Similar modus operandi on Serbadk IT page with its dubious client addresses and client websites and fake client (this is confirmed as I'm working in a project for the named client at that time).

My take is ARBB is deeply undervalued and looking to see its expansion in SEA region via Mergers and Acquisitions especially now with its listed subsidiary in NASDAQ. ARBIOT is valued at US$102.5million or over RM470million. Just this subsidiary ie not counting other businesses of ARBB such as Agro-tech, CRM, CloudSec, Cloud computing, ARBB as parent is valued at RM124mil.

Including its subsidiary of ARBB (NASDAQ) , ARBB (M) fair value needs to be at least 68sen per share. Notwithstanding the fact that ARBB-PA will auto convert to ordinary shares next year, the valuation is 52sen. that is 50 bagger potential.

Note: Caveat Emptor. I own both ARBB and ARBB PA and continue to buy.

See good article on how undervalued ARBB is.

I see your distrust simply because you couldn’t see actual product.

On your house on moon:

1] Do you have External audit report to verify the house valuation?

2] Can you submit license from Bursa Malaysia stating your construction business and your shares are traceable?

3] Do you have independent Architect Certification to tell me the construction on moon progress?

4] Can you show your Architect Drawings endorsed by Government?

5] Did you win any independent Awards such as Best Property Design which we saw Sunway Group, GAMUDA Group and Sime Group won?

If your answers above are YES, I am interested. Just not taking your word for it, I am sure you understand.

This is Corporate Governance that is much higher intensity on ALL listed companies in Bursa.

Of course, there are companies who fall through the cracks of supervision such as S Dinamik but that is extremely rare. If you score 99.93% in exam, aren’t you top scholar? Bursa has that score and ARBB is under this scrutiny.
