Reduced cash burn26 Apr 2017 22:36
assuming their cash burn/ outlay has reduced considerably to the below
"Cash outflow from operating activities has reduced by 46% to £4.5 million"
Also if they had £10m from Jan 2016 & 31 Dec 2016 have £7m, this is approx £3m annual cash burn, but could be less due to lots of cost cuttings applied - so we could have 1.5 years cash left. Hopefully by then we would turn cash positive!
Reading this section below from the YE results tells us why they used up large cash sums, now put to rest, hopefully anyway!
"In turn historically this lower margin activity has required the deployment of very material, and unsustainable, amounts of capital.
Curtailing these activities is the right thing to do even if the consequence is lower headline revenues. As the Group continues its journey from being a third party technology provider to being a social video broadcaster owning Intellectual Property rights, it will continue to move up the value chain, and gross profit margin should stabilise and rise"
Amazing, £36m impairment charge back in 2016
"Impairment charge of £nil million (2015: £36.0 million)"
Positive news below extracted from the YE Results:
"The ever-expanding world of online video continues to present opportunities and with Facebook becoming increasingly interested in this space, there are likely to be new revenue streams available to those able to take advantage"
"After several years of anticipation, in 2016 Facebook began to more publically embrace advertising around video on its platform. Whilst it is still too early to see how this will develop and how fast, the potential growth from leveraging Facebook's scale is huge, which can only be a good thing for content owners and advertisers moving forward. The Group continues to position its activities to take advantage of any future developments"
""SlashFootball" where we have now developed several formats that are attracting large audiences on advertiser friendly platforms like Facebook and YouTube. We expect to begin monetising these properties in 2017. This owned and operated content fits in well with our exclusive right to manage aspects of the video monetisation of 60+ official club sites on behalf of the English Football League. Football is the largest global sport and a huge commercial platform that aligns well to our territorial focus of Europe and Asia-Pacific, particularly in the run-up to the 2018"
