MEDIA and entertainment company MM2 Asia : 1B0 0%has given notice that it has recorded three consecutive years of losses.

Based on audited full-year consolidated accounts, the mainboard-listed company recorded pre-tax losses for the last three consecutive financial years, it said in a bourse filing late on Friday (Nov 24).

However, it will not be placed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) watch list as its six-month average daily market capitalisation was S$105.4 million as at Nov 15.

According to the rules of the SGX listing manual, mainboard-listed companies will be placed on the watch list if they record pre-tax losses for the latest three consecutive and complete financial years, and if they fail to maintain an average daily market cap of at least S$40 million over the last six months.

Watch-listed companies must take measures to satisfy these financial requirements within 36 months from the date they are placed on the list, otherwise they will be delisted from SGX or have their trading suspended with a view to delisting.
