We initiate coverage on Tibet Water Resources Ltd (HKG.1115).

Our main findings include:

– Tibet Water is the most profitable brewer in the world, but we struggled to find its beer products in Tibet although the region represents 98% of its sales in the beer segment.

– The brewery is mainly an OEM that works for another brand, Lhasa beer. This makes its sky-high margin even more inexplicable.

– Financial numbers between Tibet Water and Lhasa Beer do not make sense.

– The water business is also very suspicious. For example, we believe the advertising cost is substantially understated.

– Although the Company is supposed to generate ample cash flow and have comfortable liquidity, it maintains a high level of debt.

– The main shareholder has been steadily reducing its stake in Tibet Water.

– Serious doubts over Tibet Water’s accounting and the high probability of fraud make this company uninvestible. We call for HKEx to take immediate disciplinary action
