Just ignore that mad dog Calvin. He doesnt understand accounting at all. Just use his own interpretation to his own liking. Experienced stock traders can tell you that why some stocks are selling cheap. THPlant is selling cheap for a reason. Unlike KGB, THPlant has no room for growth; Looking back at the previous 5 to 10 years, THplant had actually gone backwards. Analyse it youself. Whereas KGB is going from strength to strength, be it B/S, P&L or cash flow..

Calvin has fallen in love with his plantation stocks, although I do hold some oil palm counters for dividend but I don't see much growth in the near future, unless people start drinking palm oil like water

The worse impairment will be the 12millions due > 1 year. When business grow bigger, revenue higher, of course there will be more receivable. As long as you can collect it without affecting cash flow, you are ok. At one point they will need to impair the 12millions.

Section B. 12 has been reporting since June 2022 till now with every single qtr after qtr for 6 consecutive qtrs of high Receivables (Ioi) over Rm400 millions

This kind of Receivables is suspect

Plus all these are Iou papers in hand

Cash can barely cover borrowings

The red flags are these

1. Rm255.8 millions contract liabilities

2. Trade payables Rm188.9 millions

3. Other payables Rm62 millions

All these add up to over half billion time debt bomb 💣

Thank you Calvin for highlighting the "potential risks". It is a huge jump from previous years of 100m to 400m.

Growth of revenue & receivables stay at about the same ratio.

Will stay cautious, need to monitor their impairment also.

@calvintaneng with yearly revenue of nearly going to be RM1.5 Billions and with TOTAL overdue payment of RM28Millions. Impairment of RM12Milions. NOT OVER DUE amount of RM354,835,000. I think the collection is not an issues here. When Revenue growth, receivable will growth, it will take time normalize the amount to a stable value. I don't see significance increase for the last 4 quarter on the receivable side. KGB is growing at ROE of 27% now. With latest cash balances of 188,178,000, compare to 1 year ago cash balances of RM82,451,000.

Latest cash Rm188,178,000?

It was from from more bank borrowings of Rm216,000,000 which will incur bank interest

There is NO CASH Generated from operation except Receivables (IOUs)

As for "profit" from Singapore also highly suspect as Wks Gas Singapore has a strong monopoly in Singapore market. I think they are 3 to 5 times more efficient than any competition from outside Singapore context. And China Jin-Hong Gas suffered losses in the current downturn in China

The Rm420 millions job supposed to finished by End 2022 also unaccounted for. Plus we also got no idea what Company Kgb is dealing with as it is shrouded in secrecy

I would never invest in such opaque non transparent Co

Why you overlooked page 2?

there are non current plus current loans amounting to Rm216 millions (cash on hand insufficient to cover debt ) and then there are liabilities/payables Rm506 millions (also not enough coverage by Receivables)
a cash call can come soon

@calvintaneng When you have contracting UHP facilities value of several hundred million per quarter, expected to have high current liabilities, if you look at overall picture, gearing(times) actually reduced from 1.01 to current level of 0.73. Long term is increase due to the construction of 2 LCO2 plants, which will be the next cash cow.

What cash cow? Even now also cannot collect present cash as it is sitting on high Receivables (IOU papers; no cash)

And it will need to either borrow or give out Rights issues to ask for more monies for building.
No guarantee as Malaysia now signed special trading agreement with Asean and China

They can dump cheaper UHP Gas to compete. Even Opcom homegrown fiber optics got hammered by Huawei optic fibers dumping at cutthroat prices and Opcom has to divert its business model

Better wake up and don't be a frog in the well

4. RECEIVABLES IS NOT CASH


This was when I bought into Megan Media at around 67.5 cents. From

the Balance Sheet Megan Media showed a P/E of only 3. NTA at over

Rm2.00. It also pay a small dividend.

So many have been tricked by the “blue ray” disc hype touted by

Megan Media Bosses. However, My Johor Sifu stood his ground &

rejected buying into this popular stock which so many others bought.



Why? He questioned the High Amount of RECEIVABLES In Megan

Media’s Accounts. RECEIVABLE IS NOT CASH. What is CASH Then?

According to my Johor SIFU The Smart Accountant, “CASH IS ONLY

CASH IF THE CASH IS RECEIVED AND DEPOSITED SAFELY IN

THE BANK”.





Being not sure I still held on to my Megan Media shares and watched it

carefully. Then one day to my surprise, I saw Insider selling 3 million

Megan Media shares! And then they unloaded another 5 million shares!

Insiders are bailing out!! The pilots are parachuting!!



Straight away I called my Remisier to sell off every Media Megan

shares at 66 cents for a small loss. Next day to my chagrin Megan

Media even rose to touch 70 cents. If only I had sold one day later?

Then I would have made some profit? Why the hurry? Weeks passed.

Then one day the horrendous result came out. Megan Media went limit

down!


It plummeted to just over 30 cents. One Mr Teh thought it was bargain

time & loaded up. Loading up falling knives? Megan Media went

bankrupt and got delisted. It was found out later that all the Blue Ray

Disc Factories were non existent. RECEIVABLES WERE ALL FAKE OR

FICTITIOUS.

Calvin said that receivables are not cash. True. That's why it had been taken out from the cash flow statement. It had been minus out. Go ask your accountant friend to teach you how to read a cash flow statement. Inside a cash flow statement, whatever is not cash, will be adjusted accordingly. We will add back depreciation (which is an expense that is not cash), stock purchases which will be using cash, hence it will be minus out, receivables which are not collected as yet - will be minus out too. The whole cash flow statement is there for you to read. The thing here is whether you know how to read it or not, or simply plucking a certain segment and then interpreting it in your own way..

If you look at Eversendai AR, its cash flow statement was actually negative. That's what killed the company.

KGB is a healthy with company with a positive cash flow, and increasing revenue and earnings. So go buy this counter as it might be the counter for the year 2024 (assuming there are no changes to its outlook).

Dear All;

Let's make this forum a healthy & positive forum. We can have diff views & respect viewpoints of others.

As an investor I believe we all made mistake before/now. WB made mistake, locally Mr Foong, Mr Koon & Mr Tan Teng Boo also made some mistake. That's fine.

It's ok to have arguments, but be constructive & no personal attack. That's bad for body & bad for soul

No point to continue argue here.
I just hope that all people here must be professional, no personal attack.
In actual fact, it is so difficult to read all the information here.
I just piece off, I sold all the stocks today in this forum to take my big profit here.
Please continue to argue and fight so that the share price can drop further, the best is limit down.
Please be professional, overall you must make a lot of money.
Argue without facts and figures will not make you super rich.
Ask yourself honestly, do you make million even you win the argument or fight ?
Will your bank account showed million profit so far ?
Please stop all the arguments, post your articles with facts and figures, I like to read all facts and figures to justify your selection.
Thank you.
