Was reading OSK report on Mems,...

does not sound good at all.... cos if the implications or speculation is true... then what we have is another...'mi-stating of earnings'... :no:

anyway... i did a blog on it.. which includes the osk report.. http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2007/11/osk-comments-on-mems.html

Posted an update on this one my blog: http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2007/11/update-on-mems-accounting-issue.html

So what is happening is:


In light of the above, and after due deliberation, the Board has resolved not to recognize revenue of RM19.72 million. As a result of this, the unaudited consolidated revenue for the financial year ended 31 July 2007 will be revised to RM53.7 million. This will consequently result in the unaudited profit after tax for the financial year ended 31 July 2007 to be reduced from RM21.47 million as announced on 27 September 2007, to RM13.45 million.
Reduced from 21.47 million to 13.45 million.

And this the said Sept Q earnings.

Quarterly rpt on consolidated results for the financial period ended 31/7/2007


Which means an updated table will look like this...


                 earnings
2005          13.693
2006          13.975
2007          13.45


Now tell me... that's a rather flat earnings, no?

So wasn't Mems touted for its growth?

I have made several postings on this stock too.

Consider the following posting: Sept 2005 (my first ever blog post! )

http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2005/10/sp-coverage-on-mems.html

S&P made the following projection..

FY Jul./MYR mln         2004   2005   2006F   2007F
Revenue                 33.8   48.3   80.3    223.1
Net Profit              8.2    13.7   17.9    47.6


See how they projected some 17.9 and 47.6 million?

Update to that posting: http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2007/03/mems-part-vi.html

And then consider the blog posting here: http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2005/12/mems-part-iv.html

In which I made the following remarks:


Did Mems deserve the rather optimistic projections, assumptions from folks in CIMB, OSK and even S&P?

How?

For me, i believe this is a rather simple example of an overly-hyped stock which simply failed to meet their expectations. It reminds me of Warren Buffett's mumbling that when the tide resides, we will know who has been swimming naked. Well, from Mems actual reported quarterly earnings, we can clearly see the nakedness in Mems share price and of course the insane earnings projections assigned to Mems.

So curious to know... since Mems has not meet these so-called expectations... i wonder... i really wonder... did Mems failed or did the market itself failed? What do you reckon?
Last but not least... http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2006/03/mems-part-vi.html

That's how Mems had performed since listing, which was pretty decent i think. Yes, the cash flow is a bit questionable but all in Mems is decent. (Oooh.. cash flow looking really questionable!)

With a questionable cash flow and now that Mems is restating a chunk of their profits made last fiscal year... what do you think of this company?

If one had noticed.. MEMS stock was sliding like nobody business... just like GPacket.

And today... we all know what exactly was the reasoning behind it.

And here's another interesting issue yet again...

when a so-called good investment stock keeps falling and falling... is this a good chance to buy the stock?

For me, good investment stocks do not usually free fall without a solid reasoning. And in our kampung market, it's best not be a hero.

Find out the reasoning first. If no news... perhaps.. it's an opportunity to invest.

And if one does not know the reasoning... it's best we stay away.

Not all dips are buying opportunities. Some do end up as a drastic value trap!

Ahem,

Do these stocks sounds deja vu? Remember AKNMessage (i think) meteoric rise and collapse later on?

That's why MM sceptism on Messdaq is most of the time well-founded.....

All is giving us such a bad name.

In Mems case, yes it was not as drastic as say Megan or Transmile but over stating earnings is simply unacceptable.

Consider the following...

If Mems did not over-state their earnings, there would be no growth for 3 years!

Without the growth, MEMS would have been rather unattractive and most of all, it would never had commanded such a rosy stock price.

Just in July 2007, MEMS traded at a high of 81 sen, giving it a market valuation of 531 million. Now based on an actual earnings of 13 million, surely this 81 sen would have been an insane stock price for Mems!

Now consider this... let me flip it around....

Mems is now trading at 25 sen. Its market valuation is only some 163 million.

Ahem... consider this the other way around.. if the market valuation now is about fair for a company making only 13 million... then Mems is worth only some 163 million.

However.. due to the overstated earnings... MEMS was valued as much as some 531 million!!!

How?
