The numbers
Propanc financial reports highlight several factors that could act as red signs for cautious investors. The major problem once again is of the massive dilution as it is with most of the OTC traded firms. Last October, Propanc reported 82 million common shares as outstanding and by February this count has surged by almost 130%, to massive 191 million. The increase in outstanding shares by more than 100% in just a quarter is a case of massive dilution.
The debt
On April 15, Propanc announced that it will be repaying outstanding convertible ‘Notes’ in next two months. James Nathanielsz, the Chief Executive Officer said that there has been ongoing speculation on funding sources of capital, and the management is delighted to assure the company’s shareholders that they have found investors who are ready to help with repaying outstanding debts. The company remains committed to reduce share dilution. However, the outstanding shares count as recorded in February highlights a different story.
