The Takeover Thread - Recon Group - NOW WITH NEW POLL

[CJ]

Annual Report 2015: The Group recorded a loss from continuing and discontinued operations of approximately HK$67,760,000 for the 2015 Year (year ended 31 December 2014 (“2014 Year”): HK$82,946,000). The Group’s consolidated loss from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to owners of the Company for the 2015 Year amounted to approximately HK$62,269,000 (2014 Year: HK$82,929,000).

I'm utterly clueless with finance, but the 3 words that leap out at me there are 'recorded a loss'

Same here. Chinese pharmaceutical company posting losses - what could possibly go wrong

Yep.  Hopefully nonsense unless they are a tiny part of a much bigger consortium.

We could call ourselves The Rui Kang Clan? Maybe not.

Yeah. New club anthem

[The Laughing Policeman]

A Chinese investment company mainly in pharmaceuticals that appears to be losing money. Wok could possibly go wrong?

Maybe they could provide some slimming pills for Gabby?

The last posted accounts for 2014 do not make inspiring reading and at $HK11 to One Pound sterling they are not cash rich either, so I'm hoping these aren't the investors Villa are talking with. Their 2014 annual report talks about branching out into money lending in an effort to increase revenues, but don't see where Villa would fit into an organisation wanting new income streams now the club are out the Premiership and requiring significant investment if they want to get out of the Championship quickly.

This company does not fit within Lerner saying he would only sell to someone who has the money to take the club forward.

It's being sold back to Doug is the latest I've heard.  You heard it here first.
