Why SYME won’t work13 Oct 2025 08:46
Here is why SYME isn’t going to work. Sure, the results are bad but the more you dig the more this thing stinks.
"The low level of revenue reflects the continuing challenges the Group has faced in fully converting inventory funding opportunities into inventory monetisation transactions."
Ergo, they are struggling to sell the product, and it isn’t helped that they are hamstrung by funding. But it gets worse. They laughably had revenue of £129K. This is based on the monetisation of £4.5m. This means they skimmed 2.87% from the deal. Not sure why they even bothered getting out of bed tbh.
So this is where some math is needed. The unaudited pipeline is £87.3m. If they converted ALL of this (imaginary?) pipeline at the same rate you are left with £2,505,510. This would mean that if the AZ is the world’s best sales guy (which he isn't) and costs stayed the same (which they wouldn’t) the company would make a profit before tax, impairments etc of £47,510. A decent sales guy, assuming the ability to get the funding would be about a 30% strike rate. But the deal is based on only 4 prospects. So they MAY get one.
Ergo - the company, even with the most rose-tinted specs is not operationally viable. Lest we forget liabilities now stand at £4,246,000
In other words - the only reason for its existing is opaque and in my view not that ethical.
What’s the point? Because Az wants to keep the grift going.
