Impairment loss - doubtful debt was the reason for the loss.
Revenue was 43m compared to previous period of 25.8M. Around 1.1M if you remove the impairment loss. Not a bad result just unfortunate there were doubtful debt.
Doesn't change the fact the PW deal will boost this profit up end of this year to 20M minimum is really good.
but see through the financial report. the loss is becuase of the advertisement and others marketing cost. probably is the cost of lauching presto. So is reasonable.
Uber lost 45 Billion in 2017 yet its still chased by many venture capitalists for future upside. This Q result is considered not too bad as its on an aggressive expansion mode. Hold tight for mid to long term capital gains.
Ikan bilis will sell. Shark will hold and buy back. Imagine who is the loser at last. Price pull down possible but recovery will be very fast as the PW deal at 32 cents. Sellers losers.
Profit before tax for this quarter is 0.6 mil. Impairment loss of 20.2 mil caused this final results. In the quarter report, they mentioned that they will still find way to collect back these sum. If it is successful, it is considered extra bonus. If you really look into its current asset, they have been aggressively investing in ecommerce and epayment business. Note: it is my personnal view.
PUC actually double the revenue last year and made profits despite spending a lot to grow the Presto e-Commerce and coming e-wallet business.
Its not 19.6 mil loss but a provision to be prudent to do provision due to the upcoming accounting standard of MFRS9. Any amount collected in 2019 becomes profits for 2018.
Thus it was strategic and a good reporting for 2017 which was past. We look forward to a strong year 2018 from PUC, with contributions from Pictureworks with its guarantee profits and growing global presence, plus its Presto E-wallet apps and mini apps which would be powerful to start capturing market shares here.
* Its not 19.6 mil loss but a provision to be prudent to do provision due to the upcoming accounting standard of MFRS9. Any amount collected in 2018 becomes profits for this year 2018. Clever move.
Objective: To utilise for advertising and media, IT related technology and E-payment. (Very clear)
Utilization: From business point of view, we shall use the sum wisely regardless when they are going to use it (even though they have specified in the report that the sum will be used within 1 to 2 years period). Note: If the company told you that they have spent the 36m within short period, and you are not able to see any improvement - that is definitely called SOMETHING WRONG.
