Comments - As can be seen from segmental breakdown above, revenue from Transaction Payment Acquisition jumped from RM8.98 mil in 2013 to RM79.7 mil in 2014. The huge jump was a result of the acquisition of e-Pay Asia Limited, an Australian Stock Exchange listed company by GHL in early 2014 through issuance of new GHL shares. This division is expected to be the core earnings generator for GHL going forward. 

GHL's existing market cap is RM506 mil while sustainable earnings is around RM10 mil. PE multiple is more than 50 times.

Comments - Mesiniaga has not done well for many years. Recently, performance has deteriorated with four consecutive quarters of losses. The group seemed to have been stuck in the past. Started as one of the early major players in the IT industry, the group has been left behind in recent years by more nimble and dynamic competitors. Further tough time ahead.
