A simple check19 Jan 2018 14:35
Is on my watch list -Seeing comments form disgruntled shareholders I thought I would do a random check on anything that caught my eye before investing.
The result was a checkup on the 12% stake placed in IBS and valued at �845,000
This is what I found -
I that's One man by the name of JOHN MCKAY registered the company.
IBS reg on 6th July 2017.Co., reg no 6333629
Business reg no k622110 banking.
Just a registered office and no indication of open for business premises.
The business registration was July 6th the companies investment was made in August a few weeks later.
As far as I can track the above investment has nothing to show for it.
I cannot find any registered Banking Licence under the RBNZ Nor signs of an application for one under the names of IBS or john Mackay
Nor can I find any financial services registered licence nothing comes up under IBS or John Mackay when the FMA is searched.
Their is nothing coming up about any licences being processed.
I did a quick scan of a few pages to see if I had missed anything so I could be in error despite the searches coming up with not found
Please remember this was only a brief search based on A single RNS a far more comprehensive search should be untertaken.
So how such an investment can be valued at �845000,that's 12% of a �10 million affirmed investment announced within a few weeks of a single man registering a business name that does not have any legitimate licences in place is puzzling to say the least.
Puzzling even more so because the company says of the investment that it may be a non starter as it cannot guarantee the licence application outcome.This statement alone puts a heavy question mark over the valuation attributed to this new venture.I cannot see how any investor(s) would pay up front �9.155 million for an a Bank that does not exist in a failing economy.
Add in that the NZ credit industry in is in trouble
All the above is checkable.
Also noted the company transferred part of its unpaid expected income to show a profit.
All open to correction specifically by any company member?
Unfortunately what the above search results do is call into question the valuations given to its investment in terms of real disposable cash.
Usual DYOR + EOE etc.,
I will not be investing instead watching .
