RE: Betting on which will be the floor level?10 May 2024 18:04
Interesting posts here all day, once again its posters on LSE that have trashed the £250M+ company down to £2.5M !
Palumbo's inability to control overheads (his arrogance) and he penchant for issuing equity to pay for his incompetence has demolished the shareprice and looks like really knows no bounds.
27 staff including 4 Phd's, 16 Process engineers and laughable 3 experienced executives don't come cheap, it's absolutely certain the wage bill for the first half of 2023 was more than the £24k a month they actually generated in revenue !
Palumbo's laughable statement at the last AGM regarding salaries and staff leaving if not rewarded handsomely just sums up his attitude, he would rather them sit around waiting (paid for by shareholders) than lay them off, all well and good if you really have a pipeline of work arriving very soon but again JVL was lying about that it seems.
Much noise today regarding the £15M IDEX order and how that will turn the ship around, who on earth is going to give EQT an order for £15M worth of kit when they can't keep their heads afloat on a month by month basis, are we expecting IDEX to somehow advance a proportion of this cash into Palumbo's hands, looking at his inability to manages day to day financing ask yourself would you? what would it be secured against, equity ?
Until expenditure is grasped, and Palumbo is replaced with someone that has a clue the recovery is very far away, issuing equity over and over again is the sign of a startup company not one that is 25 years old.
We wait and hope to see what is next of Palumbo's corrupt activity list, one thing is for sure he and his select gang won't be sat at home this evening looking at the balance of their investment account and seeing -90%+
Verde is now a certain to disappear, the only question is how long does Palumbo string it along like the weak minded idiot he is before cutting them loose, Verde must be sat thinking even a lawsuit for 50% of the amount would look attractive at present.
Overall the most galling thing is Palumbo and Lier Linden still refuse to show their face, No Investormeet, no answers to enquiries posted via the website (since they removed the IR email address last year), No Twitter posts addressing the issues, No linkedin posts addressing the issue (although if you follow Palumbo he has began to show much interest in private equity investors!)
Show some actual backbone, grow some balls, if you feel you are doing a great job and we are all just missing something get out there and tell us, at the moment your silence and your actions are speaking volumes!
