If you like arbb, stay. If you do not like arbb, give your view but donot waste your time thrasing day in day out. Use the time to analyze other shares. That would be more fruitful. Do not pretend to be the saviour please. Everyone here I believe trades at his or her own risk.
Is ARBB Financial Statements legitimate and reliable?
1. Salient points from Q3 /2021: Receivables reclassified as Current Asset meaning the debts are recoverable within 12 months. How is this possible? Eg. Debtor owes ARBB 10million and the earliest invoice is >12 months. Thus, the Debtor with portion >12 months must be classified as NCA (Non Current Asset)
However, if company pays 9mil now and then immediately place orders worth 9.1mil, technically, the debtor paid old debt but immediately incurred new debt. There is no inconsistencies. To Debtor’s cashflow is unaffected.
Note that Receivables have REDUCED to ZERO in NCA but Short term receivables INCREASED by 44 mil to 112mil. Justified in view that the turnover has increased significantly 19m compared to Q3 2020.
Key takeaway: The biggest risk of bad debts is substantially reduced with ZERO Long term Receivables.
Larry Liew, CEO,wants clients to subscribe monthly fee rather than purchase ERP outright. Smart move to reduce clients’ need to invest and making ERP affordable.
2. ARBB keeps buying Software companies at deep discounts. Thus far, bought companies with discounts by RM35million. Think of buying a landed property house in Bukit Damansara, KL at huge discounts compared to neighbours’ market value
3. ARBB plans to have 10 patents filed in Q1 2022. Competitive advantage that rivals cannot imitate
4. ARBB is visible and transparent. it announced new products like “ZOOM like” AGM software. Hydro-ponics investment. These need THIRD Parties to evaluate like submitting to BUrda for approval and Finance Consulting firm to file and announce to public. If ti has much to hide, don’t you think any firm will give vague statements?
5. Rights Issue. Shareholders have spoken! They reject. Likelihood convert the capital raising exercise through Private placements.
Those who hold ARBB PA will not be disadvantaged because Bursa and Company Law disallow it! Period.
Conclusion Accumulate aggressively. This is recession proof barring unforeseen occurrences such as cunning deliberate fraud. Can happen. Case is Enron. WOrld’s leading Arthur Andersen Audit firm collapsed because of the scandal. The risk is 1 company in fraud out of 35,000 NYSE listed firms. Similar kind of risk in any Stock Exchange.

The Group’s revenue and PBT for 3Q21 increased by 33% and 4.0 times respectively as compared to 3Q20. The higher revenue and PBT mainly due to the revenue growth in ERP and IoT segments and increase of negative goodwill of RM21.2 million arised from acquisition of a subsidiary. For the 9M21 under review, the Group’s revenue and PBT increased by 18% and 2.4 times respectively as compared to 9M20. The higher revenue was mainly due to contribution from ERP and IoT segments of RM120.3 million and RM53.3 million respectively. The higher PBT was mainly due to the negative goodwill of RM33.9 million arised from acquisition of subsidiaries.
alternatively, see the news that ARBB launch products.
How can they do that if this is a hoax? Major newspapers including The Edge covers their product launch.
Case : Serba Dinamik cannot change facts. EY Audit firm stand by their findings. they have facts enough to prove in court.
Lesson: if you have THIRD PARTIES to verify it, this is powerful. Possible for fraud. YES! but tough to hide. Case : Madoff scandal. But how many? 1 in 100,000. This is lower risk than if we put fund in start up business.
You can see my earlier comments on Auditors’ Report on ARBB. they expressed concern over the Receivables owed >12 months. and yet, they are satsified that the debts are legit w 5 ADDITIONAL Audit investigation.
All audit firms follow International Auditing guidelines. Difficult to escape their notice but possible.
Verify who is their customers. The directors seem to b con man n uneducated. At least they should talk about iot n ai. 10 patents? Who will invent? Can they b commercialised?
Just like Serba IT, no screen shot of their software and app, no demo, no trial, no video on how their software works, no real users and customers we know of.
It is like a car company with no working car…. Like that truck company Nikola.
Erm, Share price I got no comment but just to reply the last comment.
Surprisingly to inform everyone, their system is using in market and the company is not a small company too and more surprise to inform that all the sub company using it too.
IoT is nothing. IoT technology is cheap and devices can get anywhere. Much cheaper than phone. Please stay away from this company. Which big company is using theirs software?
Company reported good profits but no dividend declared to reward shareholders. Instead directors proposing to extract more money from shareholders via Rights issue. Investors need to ask for good explanation from directors.
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....
