Initially I thought the overall strategy of REV is good and highly possible. But after reading The Edge article where the CEO stated that the target is to grow 10x in about two years, I begin to have doubts. Just imagine the upfront cost of the tablets and the cost of working the ground in two unfamiliar markets (i.e. Middle East and India). Btw, China's consumer market growth is also a big unknown at the moment due to the changes in China's economy for the next five years. In summary I think the Company is a bit too ambitious.
Reasonable Target.. 1000% revenue growth in 2 years..i suppose there are plans in place for india & middle east..hopefully more M&A to be done ASAP in these two market since so much money sitting in the FD..
After all, from the very beginning, positive result will only come in after 2014 or 2015.This has been emphasizing so many times by the company itself..If one understand the typical business development process of beginning (idea stage) -> steady growth (infancy stage) to EXPONENTIAL growth (mature stage)..then perhaps you will find the above revenue expectation is actually pretty achievable.
It's good that Yi is full of hope. Sometimes that's what sorely lacking in our share market.
I think Yi has wrongly stated that exponential growth happens during mature stage. In mature stage, companies have fairly stable growth rate or low growth rate.
The point I am trying to make is Cuscapi's REV is not a pure Internet play where rapid customer adoption and acquisition can take place in a relatively lower cost due to the nature of the Internet. To grow to RM500mil sales, imagine the number of REV tablet to deploy on-site and the number of new clients to approach for sales pitching & proofing of concept in places like Middle East and India (for people who has done business in Middle East and India, you know what I mean).
Also remember that the REV approach requires the clients/restaurant owners to share certain portion of their additional revenue with Cuscapi (in return for not paying Cuscapi for the tablet). Chinese and Indian businessmen are shrewd people. The moment they smell there is money, you'll have competition sprawling.
Continued from above. In such an environment, growing from RM60mil sales in 2012 to RM500mil sales in 2015 is really very very tough unless REV has found a one-of-a-kind method to monetize the restaurant patrons in a way never seen before. Who knows maybe Cuscapi has found such "secret sauce"? As I said, sometimes we need "hope" to move the market.

My opinion: 1) Disappointed investors will continue to dispose the share from now on till Next Q report out in February...guess price will continue go south. 2) December Federal Reserve Tapering issue will be debated again...go further south the price 3) February 2014 USA debt limit issue will be heated up again...go even further south the price
Unless got better stimulus, guess the price will probably settle down at 0.25- 0.30 region...Warrants at 0.15 - 0.18 region..
Hi Bro Fortune Bull...I dont usually time the market....loss a bit is ok as i usually hold quite long term or at least hit my profit target.. Only regret didnt buy more when it was at below 20 cents...Since another opportunity looks "possible",...i will load to my 500 lots...still short 332 lots...wish me good luck!
the next querter result will be expected loss also as per mgt predict. Therefore if wanna to play this counter only for short term not for long term.
If wanna play long term why not wait at lower price only go in. Otherwise we will waste other opportunity time to gain better profit from other counter.
i'm waiting for december & february only decide...but now sure no buy..knife is falling still...aim to keep long term..will try to eat as many ticket as possible and as low price as possible.
Dear bro.. I read through this thread from a to z. Jus curious one thing. How is this so called REV works. I read through all report n survey. It jus means is a system that no need wait. That can order food from d tablet. It charge on d consumer? ?? It is sames as sakae sushi? Or some other more canggih idea?
