Takaso Resources: What's next?

Takaso Resources took my attention when I realized that its warrant has been trading at a negative premium to its mother shares last week. 

Seem like a good deal ... Yea .. but have a check first

A quick glance at its financial statement will stop you from study it further. Making net losses, high borrowings and poor cash flow. A typical poor company waiting to be rescued. 

Interestingly, little did I know that the group is also one of the condom manufacturers. It surprised me.



Yes, that is PlaySafe, manufactured by the group. 

So, even your products are used no matter we are in economic crisis or in a bull market and even the rubber price keep dropping down, it doesn't mean you are still making money. 

But what interested me is that it seems like there is some corporate movement in the group.

23/1/2014

So, what Mr Ong wants to do with this company with latest close to 30% ownership? 

Anyway, it's just for reference. The company's fundamental is bad enough at this moment.
It's just a fry stock. 

I will just sit tight and watch movie.

Let's see what is his next move to move forward.
