Noted its auditors, Moore Stephens included an emphasis of matters paragraph in its audit report detailing material uncertainty that cast significant doubt of ability as a going concern. Seems very jia lat!
In Note 4, revenue sources:-
Investment management - increased 22% yoy
Financial advisory services - decreased 56% yoy
Media sales - increased 314% yoy
Total revenue - increased 51%
Looks as though operation wise, things looks rosier, with media sales hitting the jackpot which constitute 60% of Fy14 revenue (FY13: 22%)
Look at so call gross profit ("GP") of media sales using figures from NTFS 4 & income statement:-
FY14 Media sales 5,505,986
FY14 Cost of media sales (1,066,160)
GP 4,439,826
GPM 81%
FY13 Media sales 1,327,268
FY13 Cost of media sales (119,579)
GP 1,207,689
GPM 91%
Media sales exponential growth with lower but still remarkable 81% GPM. This should be main core of growth for the turnaround. (also refer to NTFS 32 Biz segments).
The year performance hugely dampened by 2 huge impairment items:-
refer to NTFS 6
Impairment on financial assets, available for sale (AFS) $12,170,358
Impairment on trade and other receivables $19,697,759
Total $31,868,117
NTFS 15, fin assets AFS portfolio of $24,385,316 carrying value:-
Dragonrider Opportunity Fund I
Dragonrider Opportunity Fund II
Asiasons Eco Energy Fund
TAP Harimau Fund
Can refer to some investee companies in the portfolio here - http://asiasons.com/portfolios/
Can see Lion Gold and Chaswood poor results (which are public listed) continues to drive down the value of the funds giving rise to impairments. No details available on the Eco Energy & Harimau funds for analysis.
NTFS 23 - Loan receivable of $12,552,350 due from an investee company was impaired entirely in the year. Any body knows which investee company is this and what are the circumstances which leads to the entire amount being impaired down the drain in the year. May have possible implication to further impairment in the AFS as the investee company should be included in one of the funds.
NTFS 17 - Increased in allowance for impairment at $7,500,214 due to which company? Probable same company.
NTFS 19 - Investment in associates
Noted Chaswood revenue decreased 6% yoy
Loss for FY14 increased $1,979,533 which is an increase of 49%
Loss widening for Chaswood! What is happening?
Chaswood have a range of concept F&B businesses which are interesting, the management seriously and need to critically carry out rebranding and marketing strategy to revitalise the businesses as things aren't getting better. Possible to look at strategy to tap on synergies with other business segments. Also noted auditors of Chaswood being RSM Chio Lim LLP, the auditors for the infamous Trans Cab whose IPO flopped last year. Hope RSM Chio Lim do a good audit job and be able to give some value adding advice for Chaswood, else they will lose the client (becase Chaswood might go out of business).
Seems like huge wide cobweb on impairments still be possible for the year ahead. Also critically in need of fund raising in equity or debt for funding and operational purposes.
