The latest AIM casino debacle to show London’s worst Nomad ZAI Corporate Finance as not fit for purpose concerns casino listed Ukrainian dairy products group Ukrproduct (UKR) and it is a true shocker.
I have warned for ages that this company was – given the situation in the Ukraine – just complete junk (see HERE) but just how much junk is now clear and again it shows that ZAI due diligence with client take-ons is not worth a bucket of soiled toilet paper.
On 23rd December a trading statement signed off by then Nomad Cantor Fitzgerald seemed upbeat enough given the fact that the Ukraine currency was going down the toilet as the country descended into open civil war. But at least we were reassured that: “The Group's cash levels and bank facilities are sufficient to meet current debt obligations in the short and medium term”. Hmmm – how does one define medium term?
The next RNS of note was on March 31 when it was announced that it had switched Nomad and broker from Cantor Fitzgerald to big Ray Zimmerman’s ZAI. Now Cantor is not top flight but still it is like announcing that you are chucking, say, the half decent girl next door in order to run off with Norah batty (without the makeup and on a bad day).
You go to big Ray only
