All that is Green is not Golden : Part 27
On Friday, June 30, 2006 we posted about a forthcoming IPO that Lord Patel was investing an honest shilling into China Biodiesel commences trading on AIM . Their business was collecting used oils, fats and converting them in biodiesel.
On the day China Biodiesel (incorporated in British Virgin Islands (registration number: 681276) ) raised £8Mn (for 20% of the shares) and trading commenced - Bid 87p Offer 90p at mid-day with light trading.
Evolution, who have offices in Shanghai, handled the launch which presages a great deal of interest in renewable fuels in China. Closed the day with 600,000 shares changing hands and closed at 98/100.
Lord Patel took up shares at 80p in the IPO and sold when they reached 107p and took his profits, since which time they have slid to 10.5 p.

They have produced profits but the dividend of 0.365 Renminbi (1US$ = 6.8 RM) doesn't really pay any bills.
