Lerado (1225) makes HK$10m 2-month unsecured loan to Chan Man Fung
Company announcement, 22-Oct-2021
The borrower is the co-chairman and ED of an unnamed GEM-listed company. We'll tell you it's P.B. Group (8331). Mr Chan and his co-chairman Pui Wai Lun each own 50% of P.B. Asia Holdings Ltd, which is currently underwriting a HK$27.8m rights issue by PBG. The placing agent for any unsubscribed rights is CIS Securities Asset Management Ltd (CISSAM). Mark Mak Kwong Yiu, ex-Chairman & CEO of Lerado and ex-CEO of Convoy Global Holdings Ltd, has or had an indirect stake in CISSAM. He was jailed a week ago for conspiracy to defraud CGH in its bond placements which benefited CISSAM.

SFC petitions to wind up Combest (8190)
SFC, 21-May-2020
At last, some real action. Webb-site filed a detailed complaint on this matter with the SFC on 21-Dec-2017. The SFC now alleges over-priced acquisitions identified in our complaint. The sellers were BVI companies the owners of which were not disclosed. The SFC alleges 2 directors and a suspected shadow director, one Mr Ng Kwok Fai, caused losses of HK$293m to Combest. Notably the SFC seeks a winding-up rather than just compensatory orders. They should do this more often - many other companies suspended by the SFC, including Lerado (1225) are in such limbo.

Lerado (1225): SFC minded to suspend stock from 6-Jun-2017
Company announcement, 5-Jun-2017
At last, some action from the SFC. Nearly 2 years after Lerado hit the market with a highly dilutive deep-discount open offer (followed by a deep-discount rights issue 10 months later), it appears to the SFC that the circular dated 26-Oct-2015 included "materially false, incomplete or misleading information". Since the open offer was announced, the total return on the stock has been -90.77%. The SFC is presumably planning further action. Lerado is a member of what Webb-site calls the "Enigma Network".

Lerado settlement could be worth $0.066 per share
Lerado has settled its dispute with the buyer of its core business, but fails to state what the positive impact will be on its income statement and net asset value. Webb-site estimates that it will add $255m of profit or $0.066 per share to NAV. (2-Mar-2016)

Time2U's time to FU
How much damage can a HK main board company do to its share price within the first year of listing? Try 79.6%, with two full-sized placings under the generous general mandate, one of them at a discount to net cash per share, neither of which was necessary. For Time2U (1327) one year was time enough. (25-Jan-2016)
Lerado's umbrellas and open offer
At last, Lerado (1225) admits that it holds 2% of the China Jicheng (1027) umbrella bubble, still worth HK$561m, which is more than it proposes to raise in an abusive, deep-discount open offer. The circular fails to say why they don't just sell the CJ shares instead. We call on shareholders to save themselves and vote against. (27-Oct-2015)
CAID (0048) gains from umbrella bubble
Following a Webb-site complaint to regulators, CAID has revealed 3 holdings, including umbrella maker China Jicheng (1027), still trading at over 70x NAV. CAID expects the investments to contribute a positive return in the near future, but doesn't say why. Meanwhile Lerado (1225) hasn't said how it made similar gains. Is it also in the umbrella bubble? (10-Oct-2015)

China Jicheng (1027) may be preparing for a placing
We note that 1.5bn shares (10%) of China Jicheng were deposited into CCASS on 17-Sep-2015, via Black Marble Securities. These can only be from Chairman Huang Wenji. Shares must be in CCASS to be tradable, so this may be a preparation for a top-up placing. Click the link to see CCASS movements. The stock is in a bubble, at 106x NAV last night, up 64x since the IPO. Black Marble is owned by Lerado (1225). (23-Sep-2015)

ISS recommends against Lerado (1225) sale
Webb-site has learned that ISS, the leading proxy advisory firm, has joined us in recommending voting against the sale of Lerado's core business, due to the excessive capital retention. (4-Sep-2014)
Veto Lerado (1225) sale until they pay up
We call on Lerado shareholders to veto the sale of its core business unless and until the board increased the proposed special dividend from $0.30 to at least HK$1 per share. We would rather hold a stake in a real business than get trapped in another shell trading at a discount to its net cash. Management only owns 33%, so they had better listen to investors and revise the plan. David Webb holds just under 8%, and we need your support. (1-Sep-2014)
