Poor fundamentals 

The heavy trades may be indicative of insider trading, as the company’s poor fundamentals have largely put retail investors off the stock.

Results for the financial year ended December 2018 show that revenue fell from N1.9 billion in 2017 to N936 million in 2018. Losses, though lower year on year, remain dire. The firm made a loss after tax of N6.5 billion in 2018, as against a loss after tax of N13.2 billion recorded in 2017.  

The company’s auditors, PKF, have flagged the firm’s going concern assessment as a key audit matter.
