I Know all about the Fundamentals that can be known ( that anyone can glean by reading the announcements and looking importantly at the History of the Company )
But they are to me only a good story. That could have a very happy ending .
Let me give you a few more pieces of fundamental facts.
Capital Raising
- On 30 Nov GCN annonuced a private placement of $1.063m by selling 28.125m shares (18.125m @ 2c and 10m @ 7c, avg price ~3.78c) underwritten by Sino Investment Services Pty Ltd (ASFL No 246936), a company owned by Sino Strategic Investments (ASX code SSI).
- Richard Li is the chair of GCN and a director of SSI.
- SSI has been suspended from trading since Aug 2010, it has not lodged any financial accounts since then. It's last financial report on 1 May 2010 showed the company had tangible assets ~$1.6m, and liabilities of $7m.
- GCN has yet to issue Appendix 3B for the 10m shares @ 7c.
Based on these facts, a reasonable person may ask
- Why hasn't the 10m shares @ 7c been issued since the capital raising announcement 2 weeks ago, while the tranche for 18m shares @ 2c has already been issued.
- How is SSI supposed to underwrite the offer when it has no asset and is not really a going concern?
Independent valuation
- SSI's financial report on 1 May 2010 carried intangible assets of ~$60m from goodwill and gaming rights that were determined based by "Independent expert valuation" of an acquired business CEH.
- On 19 Oct 2010, ASIC found that SSI's accounting treatment of this intangible asset is not allowed, and these are to be written down to $0. As mentioned above, SSI hasn't filed a financial report since.
- The 1 May 2010 financial report of SSI also showed a valuation of its gaming rights to be worth $1.08B, or $15.21 per SSI share.
- SSI last traded at ~30c before suspension in Aug 2010.
Based on these facts, a reasonable person may infer
- Richard Li as a director doesn't appear to have a good record on independent valuations.
Priority One
- 21 Sept 2011, CNC released a market update titled "Priority One Rewards". It says "Priority One Rewards will operate a loyalty reward and incentive marketing business delivering solutions to companies, associations, member groups and consumers". Priority One Rewards Pty Ltd is a wholly owned subsidary of CNC.
- 3 Feb 2011, liquidator appointed for CNC.
- 5 Oct 2011, the liquidator of Consolidated Capital Investment Ltd (ASX code CNC) stated that "At this stage, there are no funds available for any dividend to be paid to creditors or shareholders of the company".
- On ASIC record, Priority One Network Group is formerlly known as "Priority One Rewards Ltd".
- Peter Stafford is a Director of CNC. He is also the MD of Priority One Network Group.
Based on these facts, a reasonable person may ask
- Is Priority One Network Group the same business as Priority One Rewards Pty Ltd?
- If so, how can a company have a $275m independent valuation at the same time it's apparent holder is a liquidation process where creditors will get no return?
- Is the supposed listing of Priority One Network Group approved by the liquidator?
Based on these facts (the questions I've provided are not facts), people can draw their own conclusions...
And yes, it might have a happy ending. Or some people might soon get calls from ASIC...
There is a lot more "do not knows" than "knows"
So at a top. long after the knows have sold and gone . The many "Do not Knows" can still Buy and attract more buying.
" You can distribute ALL THE WAY DOWN " because there are always the " Do NOT KNOWS " who think they are buying a Bargain .
That's a good theory. There are often greater fools to sell to. Unless there is a suspension and everyone goes down with the ship.
Gravity...
