Imagine owning a business that post no revenues? This is often synonymous with Startups and businesses still at conceptualization stages. Now, imagine if this business is decades old and publicly listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange.

Union Dicon Salt Ltd, a publicly quoted Nigerian company, has for 23rd straight quarter (5 years and 3 quarters) posted no revenues. This dates back to December 2012 and could even be longer.

According to its latest annual report, it posted a loss after of N88.6 million, mostly made up of operating expenses. The company has also posted negative shareholder funds for over 5 years and only in 2017, revalued its assets, thus reverting to a positive shareholders funds.

Role of the NSE

As a listed company, the NSE rules does not require that the company post revenues after it has been listed. However, it is not a requirement before a company is listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Companies that are bankrupt are however expected to be de-listed.

Despite this, some opine it is the responsibility of the NSE to inform investors of listed companies who are technically insolvent or at risk of doing so.

The company also has serious backers (TY Danjuma, CBO Capital Partners), so it appears the NSE believes they might be an injection of capital in the near term.
