Positive RNSs4 Jun 2019 10:40
I am a LTH of Eqtec and have been shocked by the recent drop, created by rumours, lies of funding being withdrawn, business going under and this has caused massive nervousness within the PIs..... Is there Shorting? Who knows
The two most recent RNSs have shown that firstly there is still drawdown on the Loan Facility and that this has not been withdrawn, thereby the lender is willing to support the strategy, the small drawdown shows confidence in revenue delivery and receipt in the short term.
The second RNS confirms the impression created by the first RNS and proves that deals can be completed. A £2.5m investment to gain a 20% share of a business forecasted to be valued at £20m (£4m of it Eqtec) and delivering £4m (£0.8m for Eqtec) a year appears to be a very strong return for Eqtec and reinforces the commercial viability and attractiveness of the patented technology. The best bit being the investment is equipment already paid for, no cash needed and on top an invoice for £2.2m for other equipment and services with payments triggered very soon.
Therefore in summary:
Eqtec has access to funding
Eqtec is still executing strategy and is a going concern
Eqtec can secure deals
Eqtec can structure these deals so they don't need cash upfront
Eqtec will receive significant cash payments to further develop the pipeline
Eqtec has taken a firm step into US
Despite still being in shock, I now feel much more comfortable and the doom and gloom merchants who cause the recent crash have less to spread rumours and lies about.
I don't believe we will see 1p today, although I would love to be wrong.
