NextNation

My Dearest ywt06,



The above table shows what
NextNation has done since listing. It's impressive no doubt.

Net margins show some weakness but the growth is impressive!

NextNation is in the mobile gaming industry and here are some latest news posted on its website.

However, if you do a quarterly table, there are signs of weakness.



* 2007 Q2 cash boosted by 9.272 million due to placement of new shares. *

The biggest concern for me is that NextNation has an issue with its receivables and because of this, one do not really see wealth being generated in the company's cash flows despite its very impressive earnings.

Some other notes.

NextNation did an interim dividend less than 2 months after listing.
Interim Dividend

Difficulties in selling its placement shares. March 2006 it announced
NEXTNATION COMMUNICATION BERHAD ("NEXTNATION" OR "COMPANY") PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF UP TO TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THE EXISTING ISSUED AND PAID-UP SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY ("PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT") and recently in May 2007, have a look at this announcement, NEXTNATION COMMUNICATION BERHAD ("NEXTNATION" OR "COMPANY") PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF UP TO TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THE EXISTING ISSUED AND PAID-UP CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY ("PROPOSED PRIVATE PLACEMENT"). What's happening? So difficult to sell a mere 10% placement? Why?

Lastly, it's long awaited
Bonus Issue is finally here. (Bonus plan was announced almost a year ago!)

hi,

thank you for doing this research. as expected, you pointed out the climbing receivables concern.
the net profit margin is lower as well. the positive points are its a debt free company and its growing.
i will attend their agm this year to look for ans of the questions that we have ...

The main thing i concern is Receivables as well, it is growing faster than expected and cannot be explained by just say that sales increasing. Receivables comprised of 70% of total assets. Although the company remained solvent, but who knows in future? The cash flow is still healthy just because the issuance of capital.
