The report by Simply Wall St on Ageson is astonishing. Astonishing because it is one of the MOST undervalued stocks on the market! I’m really curious. The company’s fundamentals are stunning! And we’re talking real hard financial data.
1. This counter making money all the way but I didnt notice any dividends or bonus issues after 2008. It is also not smart move to turn ages to a dividend stock in current pricing.
2.I left the company in 2010. 11years ago ?
if there were illegal, then if wont stated at news. Else purposely kena themself and push them self in fire ?
3.no point to invest in a profits making company , hold and get nothing at all.
From the past if you were monitor closely, it is having more and more on going project working behind ages. Which is leading ages to another stage.
I always looking for a potential stone and turn it into a diamond, now I am choosing AGES, believe it or not, up to you, chase high after that or join now when low, up to you hehe
icst1975 To start with, I wish all AGES investors will make good profit from their investment in AGES. I believe and hope that AGES share price should not drop below 0.13 because this is the exercising price for about 4600 million PA, of which 4000 million are still to be converted (latest by 10 March 2030). With six apparently very good and improving quarterly results, many huge sand deals, JV's , the market has somehow missed out in pricing this "gem" at such a great discount. That was what I believed and invested into the counter. However, the declining and stagnant price at 0.13 prompted me to look deeper for answer. It is often said that the market has already priced in all the factors both positives and negatives. It came as a rude shock to me after I read a blogspot article on AGES financial reporting by aisahbintimohdliew. I think it is relevant for AGES investors to know about it. They can then make their own conclusion and actions.
aisahbintimohdliew provides an objective, factual analysis of AGES financial report. It raises many disturbing points on the financial statements.
Results of FY2020 was very impressive with net profit of 37.5m which was the same as the PBT with zero taxation. In fact AGES had not made provision for any taxation in the past five quarters, How wonderful ! Are they real profits or are they just accounting profits on paper ?
One major RED FLAG spotted in FY2020 Report is that the intangible assets (commonly known as "Good Will") had increased by a huge sum of RM32.7mln to RM40.96mln from only RM8.26mln in the previous year. I think the RM32.7m increase in intangible asset should be more correctly classified as actual Losses incurred and not parked into a non recoverable "Goodwill" as a Company intangible asset.
Other RED FLAGS include: 1. Grant Thornton Malaysia (AF 0737) resigned as Auditors of the Company with immediate effect from 6 August 2020, 22 days prior to the Company FY2020 Q4 announcement. Grant Thornton was first appointed as Auditor during AGM on 25 Nov 2019. Company appointed a new audit firm in May 2020 but the new auditor also resigned in mid August 2020. Did they, as financial auditor, found something they could not go along with what their client wanted to report? 2. Mr. KEE YONG CHIN, AGES newly appointed CEO on 30 April 2020 resigned abruptly on 31 Dec 2020 after only 8 months. Did he found or smell something which he could not work with if he stays on as CEO? 3. AGES ma announcements on many very large "business deals" with overseas customers on sand exports even though the Company does not have a sand export licence. All of them were just MOUs and have not progressed into real Contracts so far. It is just amazing that a listed company appeared to be not following the needed due process and procedures. For example, the Company should have sought shareholders approval first (shareholders approval was only obtained in an EGM in Dec 2020) before entering into major sand mining and export businesses dealings with overseas customers. The major risks are damage of reputation and confidence when the necessary approvals from authorities and or shareholders were not obtained. 16/02/2021 8:11 PM
Hahahaha ...Waiting for this counter to turn into diamond , I think I will start to eat their sand sooner or later....hahahaha. Just dream........ A fundamental strong counter but only worth 0.130 ....lol. Somebody must be kidding. In at 0.125 and runnnnnnn fast fast at 0.135, wasting my bloody time here. ... anyway cheer to you all guys here. Happy CNY and best of luck.
The single most important thing about bout a listed Company is integrity and trustworthiness of its management. After reading aisahbintimohdliew.blogspot.com and AGES financial reports, and looking back at all the business deals announcements made by the Company in the past 2 years as well as how they had turned out so far, I felt " betrayed ".
Over the years, I have known that when an appointed financial auditor resign from a Company , it also means that auditor have spotted many questionable accounting items which the Company concerned could not explain and refused to put in the correct reporting. The auditor therefore choose to resign.
The example which most Malaysia know is auditors for 1MDB.....
@icst1975, the present mgmt is a new team, will change anything to progress. I will give them a chance; will invest other counters if this new mgmt did not perform. We shall not 'loyal' to any counters as no obligation to stick with them; just run if make enough profit. I sported this 'rubbish' counter with strong support at 13sen bcos of ICPS maturing at 13sen; therefore I try my ICPS theories on value assessing..Happy Trading
i follow ages for ages ady. many time when level of negativity is high is the time they play up the price then vice versa. So keep negative! And u will see the result
@samzaham, tq for sharing. I also spotted when near to QR reporting, there will be a push and thereafter will come down again to 13sen support. Usually I buy few hundred k at 13sen before QR; and sell after the push. Few days ago, there are very high volume buying at 13sen, suspect same principle apply...Happy Trading
When a company wants an auditor who is "more flexible towards client's wishes on financial statement" they will look for one and engage them. NGrant Thornton Malaysia (AF 0737) was a new auditor engaged by AGES but they choose to resign as its auditor with immediate effect from 6 August 2020, 22 days prior to the Company FY2020 Q4 financial results announcement.
On Pages 71 &72 of FY2020 Report, a rather vague"gross-over" explanation in Note 7 was made on the transfer of RM32.7m non recoverable assets into "Goodwill". Goodwill on consolidation At beginning of financial year was RM8,260,819 and at end of the financial year was 40,964,222 (a) The goodwill on consolidation arose from the acquisition of the following subsidiaries: (i) Solidvest Properties Sdn. Bhd. (ii) Ageson System Sdn. Bhd. (iii) Ageson BIM Sdn. Bhd.
Ageson Bhd was formerly known as Prinsiptek Corp Bhd (essentially it is a change of company name) operates as an investment holding company. All the above subsidiaries were part and parcel of Prinsiptek Corp Bhd and therefore part and parcel of AGES Bhd upon change of Company name. Its principal activities are mainly construction and property development. It involves in building and construction activities. The company's segments include Construction, which is engaged in construction works; Property Development, which is engaged in the development of residential and commercial properties, and Trading and others, which is engaged in the trading in building materials, provision of project management and secretarial services and investment holding. 1. Is it correct to classify non recoverable assets, which are effectively real losses suffered by subsidiaries, into "Goodwill" as an intangible asset? 2. Is it market brand name or patents of those concerned subsidiaries which were former subsidiaries of Prinsiptek Corp Bhd ? Why then change their names to "AGES" if it is the brand name that is worthy as an intangible asset ?
AGES did not have to pay any income tax, nor made any provision for income taxes in FY2020; in fact for 5 quarters consecutively. How can that be ?
1MDB changed auditors twice but the second and third auditors, who are probably chosen because market infor search indicated that they could be a lot more "flexible". We all know even the subsequently auditors had chosen to resign because they could not go along with what 1MDB management wanted them to do. If they do, they might end up damaging their business reputation.
