Positive cashflow !!!!

In order to assess financial strength based on order of priority

1st choice- Cash Generation ability

2nd choice- Balance Sheet Strength

3rd choice- P&L Performance

Analsyt way of analysing P&L alone do not give an accurate picture !!





Dear Stockraider1,

From your numbers, the cash/share is dwindling.. surely this is a worrying sign..!

Random,

It does not matter cash flow or p/l... one needs to understand why and what is happening!

Cymao cash flow is increasing cos they did a good job collecting their old debts. But that's it. Now the total owed to them is just over 3 million...

how?

Next quarter... if profitability does not improve... how then?

But seriously if I was reeeallly interested in investing in the timber sector I would have gone for the big players ala Ta Ann wat..

Why bother with small frys like Cymao? Regardless of the single digit PE positive cashflow high NTA yadda yadda

Since it's timber is underappreciated now the big players should be selling for a pinch
no meh?

Good point... and if you look at the first page... u wud see Ta Ann timber related PBT is only at 4.9 million....


makes u wonder about the sector... :scratchhead:



yeah... and the amazing thing is... since timber earnings is so piss poor... them fan boy analaysis had quickly jumped on the possible turnaround thingeee... which ... actually is not impossible... yeah... timber sector could bottom and cud see some slight improvement in earnings for the next quarter but.... me think this is about it.

a boom in this timber sector?? kinda hard to imagine rite now at this moment of time - given the current market variables.

:)

In times of uncertainty, cash is the king ! Converting to cash indicate there are true certainty of value for cymao !

The ability of Cymao to convert receivable to cash, is this not indicate, this is a fantastic preposition ?.I applaud this extraordinary ability !

Do u want companies that carry a huge receivable position ?

Now go back to the receivable position of Rm 3.3m against turnover of est Rm 128m,this give a collection day of only 10 days which is as good as most transaction done in cash !

Going forward Cymao can still can convert the inventory of Rm 54m ( equivalent to Rm 0.72 per share) to cash as well, thats is another cash spinning avenue !

By the way CYMAO depreciation based asset of Rm 74m ( equivalent to Rm 1.00 per share) alone generate cash of around Rm 2.8m or Rm 0.037 per qtr.On annualised basis will result in positive cashflow of Rm 0.15 p.a.

Thats is the reason i say CYMAO at Rm 0.70 is in a unique position ,not recognised by most analyst who rely on profits as a sole assessment !

LOL! Nice to see that you admit that the increase in cash flow is due to the decrease in trade receivables. (you do realise that I had said Bravo to Cymao on this issue)

Counting of depreciation of assets? Of course Depreciation and Amortisation is like an invisble monster eating up a portion of a company's cash and this is why the cash flow statement is important.

here is the top part of Cymao Cash flow this quarter..



Depreciation 'added' back 2.792 million to the piggy bank.

Trade receivables boosted the cash flow by 6.073 million. (let me say Bravo again!)

Now let's look at the bottom half of the cash flow...



Company paid back some 2.842 in loans (bravo again) (company still has some 6 million + in loans left)

And the total cash flow increased by 1.212 for the quarter.

Now if one minus out that 6.073 million in debts collected, would cash flow still be positive?

Oh... yes... inventory could always be converted to cash but isn't this the main objective of any company? Convert the inventory to cash into profits?

In the futre, would CYMAO cash flow still be positive? 

Well... LOL... it better start converting more inventory into cash.  :grin:

What's incredible for me is the articles from Credit Suisse going ga-ga over this sector, esp on Ta Ann early this year.

See posting http://whereiszemoola.blogspot.com/2008/03/credit-suisse-goes-bull-on-ta-ann.html

ahem...

The fresh target price for Ta Ann is RM9.20 a share, more than a third of the stock's last trading price.

According to Credit Suisse, Ta Ann's share price, historically has a 74 per cent correlation with plywood prices.

It noted that in the last cycle, plywood prices bottomed in December 2005 and its share price surged by up to 51 per cent when plywood prices rose in 2006.

And what's interesting was Ta Ann then was only 6.65!!!!!!!!!!!

Ta Ann today is 7.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to CS Bull nonsense, eh?
