XOX: Talk is cheap?



Despite making losses since 2007, XOX's IPO was oversubscribed by 13.2 times. This is sort of expected in any IPO. XOX is a mobile virtual network operator which rides on Celcom's network infrastructure, and it will launch a new service "e-wallet" this year.

According to XOX's CEO, the company "expects" revenue to surge to RM249.5mil in FY11 from a mere RM20.1 mil in FY10. He also "expects" a NET profit of RM19.7mil in FY11 compared to net LOSS of RM15.9mil in FY10.

This is XOX's financial highlights from its prospectus


Revenue (mil) Loss after tax (mil)
2007-0.2
2008-1.2
20098.613
20102016


The company lose more and more money year after year, and suddenly it expects to make RM19.7million a year. Is it due to the new service or the mobile prepaid service? Anyone knows how good is their mobile phone package & service?

Is the revenue & profit forecast a "scientific" expectation or a "fairy-tale" expectation? Or "Green Packet-like" expectation?

  3. Q12011 results Rev 12.7m, net loss 1.66m.

    On track to be better than 2010 but what about the "expected" 249.5m Rev & 19.7 net profit for FY2011? Fairy tale? Wonder at what price it will open tmr...
