Sinopec lubricants agent MTS Energy now on Unlisted platform

BUSINESSDESK: MTS Energy, an importer and distributor of automotive lubricants, has listed its shares on Unlisted, bringing total companies on the platform to 16.

The Auckland-based company has about 38.4 million fully paid shares on Unlisted, representing capital of $1.9 million, out of a total 74.8 million shares. The remaining 36 million need to be paid at 5 cents apiece. The stock did not trade today.

MTS has not indicated it wants to raise more capital. It has 31 shareholders, predominantly Chinese.

The company began as a BP service station in the Katikati area and has been developing the market for lubricants since 2009, it says in a statement. It acquired the lubricants business of ITrust Investment this year for $2.2 million, including $500,000 of goodwill.

MTS is the New Zealand distributor for Chinese oil giant Sinopec China, it says.

In the year ended March 31, it recorded a profit of $17,094 on sales of $583,395. It had a $449,000 term loan with Westpac for 54 months and a 12-month loan from ITrust Investment of $587,279, its accounts show.

Such a weird set of financial statements.

Sales of $538,395 but stock purchases of almost $2m.

Total wages and salaries of $17,509.
Freight of $12,000.

Accounts receivable of $308,839.

So they don't pay anyone to do anything, and their customers take 6 months to pay. And they import $1.95m of oil, but only pay $12000 to do it?

What what what?

Is it the chinese way ?? No tax, No profit to speak off, no wages,- not likely. That's how the Chinese manage to always have cash for property.

It proves what a joke Unlisted is

Maybe Unlisted should be unlisted
