WARNING: MY PERSONAL VIEW. NO INVESTMENT ADVICE INTENDED. DYOR
I believe this share will surprise us, for those that are patient. Just buy and sit tight.( personal view)
One thing about this company is that they do not try to sugar-coat any unpalatable pill, they usually call it as it is... like the early warning about the expected downturn in their business due to economic impact .... well before other companies started admitting that there is a problem.
So when they give this statement in the last results it bodes very very well for the future indeed.
From the last results:
Current trading and outlook
As a result of the continuing global economic uncertainties and prevailing
market conditions, we envisage the financial performance of the Group for the
year ending 31 December 2010 to remain challenging. However, barring any
unforeseen circumstances, the Group is anticipating an upturn in the 4th quarter of 2010 in the markets in which it operates in particularly in consideration of the following recent developments (details of which were announced on 10 June
2010):
(i) MobilityOne Malaysia has signed an agreement with Carrefour Malaysia (www.carrefour.com.my) to roll out approximately 300 EDC terminals for mobile phone's prepaid airtime reloads across Carrefour Malaysia's 23 hypermarkets and 20 express stores throughout Malaysia;
(ii) MobilityOne Malaysia has been awarded a contract from Telekom Malaysia Berhad (www.tm.com.my) with the value of RM22.7 million (equivalent to c. GBP4.8 million) to supply telecommunication hardware over a period of 3 years;
(iii) In Cambodia, MobilityOne Malaysia has entered into agreements with 4 telecommunications companies, namely Hello Axiata Company Limited (Hello Mobile - www.hello.com.kh), Latelz Co. Ltd (Smart Mobile - www.smart.com.kh), Combodia Advance Communications Co. Ltd (QB Mobile - www.qbmore.com) and Viettel (Cambodia) Pte Ltd (Metfone Mobile - www.metfone.com.kh) to sell their prepaid reloads via EDC terminals and banking channels. In addition, MobilityOne Malaysia is in discussion with several banks in Cambodia to provide prepaid reloads via ATMs, Internet banking and mobile banking; and
(iv) In Indonesia, MobilityOne Malaysia has entered into an agreement
with PT Citra Multi Services (www.cms701.com) to provide up to 100,000 units of EDC terminals throughout Indonesia over a period of 7 years. MobilityOne
Malaysia is currently working with PT Citra Multi Services on the technical
aspects of the system and is evaluating the funding options and requirements for the EDC terminals.
When you consider that since they had their falling out with MR. KOISK, who they used to rent EDC terminals from, they were reduced to operating less than 3000 EDC terminals, with subsequent fall in revenue.
They resolved to manufacture and markey their own EDC terminal brand, (OnePay).
Now fast forward to the announcements regarding the deals that they sign
