Financial Statement

From the annual report 2014, IGB short term borrowing had increase from RM 163,460,000 to RM 575,288,000 and long term borrowing increase from RM 1,394,909,000 to RM 1,571,267,000. From the recent quarterly report for financial period end 30-6-2105 the short term borrowing further increase to RM 829,517,000.

From the annual report 2014, there is RM 1,592,254,000 had to be paid of in the period of 5 years. While 1,256,267,000 is about to due in 2016 which is 78.9% of the loan. The is worrying me because if IGB is going to take off all the cash reserve to paid the loan of RM 1,256,267,000 next year and there still lack RM 175,384,000 (base on the cash reserve in 30-6-2015). However they can have another loan or issue share place which will dilute the IGB shares.

CONS:

The short term borrowing of IGB had increase significantly. RM 1,256,267,000 (78.9% of the total loan during in 5 year time) is going to be due in 2016. IGB cash reserve is insufficient to pay the RM 1,256,267,000 loan in 2016.
