Hi. None taken. DTL is a misnomer. The point is the economic reality of cash outflow is being understated. Even though the number is already that bad.
I did not say the cash outflow does not complie with accounting standards, I am saying that, similar to the Noble case, accounting information rarely match economic reality, and the economic reality for SinoG is massive cash outflow for seemingly no reason.
If I shift all of my trade receivables to other receivables, does it mean the business is better? No...it is just a restatement. Of course I can't prove that trade receivables are being shifted due to poor disclosure but the empirical data certainly points towards that direction. Of course one can say that other trade receivables does not have trade receivables in them, but that requires leap of faith I am u wiling to take, especially for a management team that time and again fail to keep their promises.
On a valuation standpoint, mechanically wise, SinoG is a short regardless of the growth potential.

Here are a few interesting red flags.
Cash burn was $122m RMB. Here is the breakdown:
Receivables rose $160m. Not a single reprieve in receivables since the IPO. Rose from 165 days in Q4 2014 to 198 days today. That is a 33 days in 6 months.
inventories rose $124m, albeit some will argue this ride is seasonal.
A good portion of the payables SinoG drew down was repaid. This shows SinoG has no leverage against its suppliers.
Even though the company recorded a 66m tax charge, the company paid 31.5m. This created a deferred tax liability line item. Will be interesting to see if this DTL will get paid down.
SG&A rose 65.2% against a 14.5% move in inventories.
I shorted some SinoG a day before the results because it was a highly asymmetric bet.
Hi BlueDogMeow,
I hope you don't mind if I state my humble opinion on your statement. No offence, please don't take it hard.
The deferred tax liability ("DTL") are not resultant due to difference between tax expense in the profit and loss as compared to tax paid. You may refer to FRS 12 paragraph 15 to 18. A copy of FRS 12 attached. Income tax expense recognised to profit and loss consisted of tax on the relevant period plus any adjustments in respect of prior periods plus deferred taxation (which will include any adjustments in respect of prior period). You may refer to EY specimen financial statements disclosure notes on the attached pdf file page 94/234 for an idea. There are other Big 4 specimen FS available online also which users may also refer to. (I not from nor advertising for EY).
Generally, when carrying value larger than tax base, it gives rise to a taxable temporary difference which is multiplied by the applicable tax rate to derive the deferred taxation. In this case, a DTL.
