#FinanceTwitterJa $JFP.ja JFP Limited released their first quarter (Q1) financials which was published on the @jastockex today. However, the financials which were apparently prepared by their auditors bring more questions than answers.
Firstly, the share capital saw an increase of $280 million before transfers and transaction costs. Now, the IPO had 140 million shares being issued by the company and 140 million being sold by JFP Property Investments Limited. How can the share capital record an increase of$280m?
