APB directors resigned today. APB is related to gtronic btw. something fishy is going on. Kinda reminds me of serbadk. https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/727661
I wonder what the market reaction will be tommorow.
EC Liaw keeps saying that Gtronics and Serba D(SD) are not the same.Basically they are the same in that they forced their external auditors ,kPMG to resign before their terms of office.Until now, Gtronics has yet to reveal the real reason why the incumbent auditors have resigned to their investors. Their reluctant revelation has cast serious doubts on their corporate governance and the integrity of the management.
The alleged missing cash of 60m being reclassified as deposits is highly suspicious. If this holds true,the Balance sheet value is materially overstated and the financial reports contain material errors.
It is reckoned that EC Liaw is insulting the intelligence of all the investors as if they were fools.Jus let the investors know the reason why the incumbent auditors,kPMG have resigned. Keep it simple and frank.
He is also holding Directorship of the following Listed Public Companies: • APB Resources Berhad • Artroniq Berhad • Sarawak Consolidated Industries Berhad.
It seems that wherever he is attached to , the gold is turned into shxts as evident time and time again...
It is believed that EC Liaw dare not tell the reason why the incumbent auditors have resigned as he knows very well that the company is in the wrong while the auditors are right just like the case of Serba D.
APB investors are faced with huge loss in investment costs of 90m++ if their investment in gtronics is not restored to Rm 1.40 ( at which APB originally paid to acquire Gtronics).It appears that impairment is inevitable in the upcoming QR of APB.
AGM of APB is looming where the BOD would be grilled due to the huge investment loss in Gtronic.Thats why 3 of their directors do not wish to be haunted on this issue ever and resign....
From day one l already said Gtronic is a misfortune investment. Now the stories the same. Sell down and huge losses including Epf. Management is weak afterall.
APB will likely increase its stake in Gtronic to gain majority control of the company, as it is currently cheaper to do so and offers strategic business advantages.
Gtronic is not the stock you want to mess with. Rebound, sell off and lately massive meltdown. Later will turn from bad to worse after dead cat rebound. Be warned.
Do you really think the shareholders of APB would approve the increase in stake in Gtronic since the shareholders/investors have already suffered from huge investment loss in their previous acquisition? Increasing their stake is tantamount to leveraging your investments at a greater risk.
The EC Liaw keeps saying the Gtronic is different from Serba D ( SD). In the case of SD, their auditors ,KPGM had highlighted that the majority of receivables was uncollectable/ irrecoverable and the B/S value was materially overstated by 70-80% as a result of which impairment was inevitable in the financial report . However, the Mgt of SD were in disagreement with their auditors and adamant that all the questionable receivables were recoverable and was in loggerhead with their auditors. In the end , their auditors were right and SD paid for a very very price with no chance of recovery.
likewise, it is believed that in the case of Gtronic, it is the same as SD whereby the alleged missing cash of 60m was reclassified as deposits under other receivables is found to the suspicious to be recoverable. It is believed that their auditors have highlighted it but the Mgt of Gtronic has chosen to be ignorant of it and tell the world that business is as usual. Thats why I said , EC Liaw is insulting the intelligence of all the investors as if they were all fools.
Both APB and GT are not mutually exclusion. The drop in one will have significant effect on the others as the directorship is said to be in the same gangs......
As evident in the recent announcement , EC Liaw has disposed his shares in APB for fear of further plummet. He has lost confidence in the APB himself as evident.
In order not to face the expected bombardment from the shareholders/investors in the upcoming AGM of APB , the gangs are trying hard to push the share price of GT as high as possible before the AGM of APB to be held soon but it is believed that the manoeuvre is of no avail as the cruz of the issue in Gt has yet to be addressed to...
Loss, be it paper loss or otherwise , from the prudent view of the auditors, provision for impairment must be done so that the fair view of BS is duly reflected in the financial reports through which the investors are well informed.
Fact. The people who took over the control of the company hasn't had a good track record. There will always be optimists and equally as many pessimists. It is all about risks appetite. Only time will tell. I have quit.
Reading the financial report is one thing, discerning from the circumstances surrounding the Company in the interim is another thing. For instance, you know the very fact that the incumbent auditors have resigned ( with hindsight) but you fail to foresee the subsequent negative implications that are emerging to the detriment of the investors' interest ( with foresight )
The foresight depends on the hindsight . With hindsight, you can foresee the implications. For instance , before the tsunami strikes ,there are signs to be shown ( with hindsight). With hindsight , you can foresee the likely possible subsequent events, be it good or bad ( foresight) , Of course , without knowledge of the signs , you are unable to discern even there are hindsight in front of your very own eyes.
Your being unable to foresee with hindsight is your own problem ,not my problem but i have four words for you " open up your mind "
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
