Default Serissa bonsai in trouble

I hope that someone can help me. I've got a 8 year old Serissa (the
kind that gives white little roses). My bonsai has 2 main branches and
the problem is that all the sub-branches on the second one seems to be
dying. The second branch only has dried up leaves on it and seems very
bare next to the other main branch that seems to be florishing. I
might be paranoid, but I think it is happening to the other branch now
as well. What also bothers me is that my Serissa hasn't given any
flowers in quite some time.

The only 2 factors that I can think of that might be causing this is
the following:
1. I pruned off 2 dead sub-branches off the second main branch, just
before this started happening.
2. My bonsai is due for repotting at the end of this year.

But off course there could be others.

I have tried the following:
1. Used a little bit extra vertilizer.
2. double checked its rate at which it gets water.
3. Got rid off all the dead leaves.

Can anybody please help.

Thanks.
