24 minutes of pure hopium from Stanbury.
For once he had a bit of challenge from the Roast boys! He ignored it and deflected. He admitted mistakes but had nothing to say to reassure his noteholders whose interest keeps racking up, let alone his shareholders.
He doesn't have a clue how to get out of the fix he is in other than trade out of it, which any fool (and especially his noteholders) knows he has neither the time nor the money to do. He hopes to be at breakeven by the end of the year. Hopes. He has nowhere near that long to get there.
He mentioned a number of times that Recyclus is raising capital. In its current incarnation, that is a pointless, futile, hopeless exercise. Recyclus owes £8M to its parent! Nobody is going to invest equity behind that because as I have explained many times, it is "new money for old". Recyclus needs to go through an insolvency event with its assets being prepacked into a clean vehicle for that new investment to get past even basic financial due diligence.
That likely makes TM1 insolvent at that moment. You mugs are all bagholders at that point. Someone else will have a go at running the battery crushing operation in Wolverhampton, and maybe they get it to breakeven in December, maybe they don’t. TM1 shareholders will have no stake in it at that point.
TM1 appears to still hold its CRML shares but is balancing holding with its cash needs.
Now that Leinster has been sold for buttons, the great non-Recyclus asset for TM1 is Spain - according to the last accounts that licence expires in June and it seems the company has no funds to renew it, or develop it if they did renew it!
Surely the game is almost up. If that is the best you can do to fill 24 minutes of PR, it is likely all over bar calling in the administrators.
