As a result of the £50m+ fundraiser, Avacta was able to purchase two income generating/profitable businesses with a considerable amount of cash left over. The debt payment is now covered easily by the profits from just one of these businesses and the rest of the profits can be used to fund expansion in one or both, plus developing new products containing Avactas affimers. The cash left over from the fundraise can be used to support the companies cash flow and also fund the ongoing AVA6000 trial. Yes they might need further funds down the road, but it's pretty much a given they will be able to get that bagged and more than likely as a result of a licencing agreement, MOU with downpayment, JV or AA. We should also see milestone payments from our existing licencees.
Guys what's not to like about this...OK so there's some dilusion as far as existing shareholders are concerned but that would be the case if they simply went to the markets to raise funds and without a little pain now we certainly wouldn't have the ability to move things on for that all important gain.
Hands up those of you who have actually run a multimillion pound business???
Hand up those of you who actually know what the AIM market was set up for??
mmmm! as I thought...
Guys, this is what early stage businesses do...they come to a market like AIM...they fundraise...they borrow money...they take on debt...and then hopefully spend that money sensibly in order to grow the business...sometimes the plan works and sometimes it doesn't and that's the big risk with early stage business investments. However, the rewards from the few that do actually make it, can be huge as a companies SP moves from pennies to pounds. From my experience our CEO/BOD seems to be doing a good job...I could be proved wrong tomorrow but we're just going to have to wait and see...
We are, however, still very much in the early stages and patience has to be on your side...
