I have read a number of posts with people worried about the company's shares being suspended from trading. I have not read anything that would lead me to believe that re-admission to trading will not happen. We just don't know when it will happen.
There have also been comments about there being no funding and delays until Q1 before anything happens. My reading of the RNS' results in a different understanding. I have put some excerpts from the 2 accounts RNS' below with some comments.
[Quote][ As well as completing the first Open-Funding securitisation transaction, the Company expects to have delivered on Captive-Funding and Self-Funding initiatives by the end of the first quarter of 2021. ]
My take on this is that the proof of concept, 1st securitisation transaction, will be through the Open-Funding route. Once this has taken place, the gathering of finance from banks, financial institutions and investment funds will take place as well as completion of acquiring and launching the Captive Bank.
There are 2 ways to do Open-Funding.
[Quote][ The first Open-Funding structure is an inventory-backed securitisation note programme, arranged and distributed by StormHarbour Securities LLP. The second Open-Funding structure is a Shariah compliant investment product. This widens the potential investor base for the inventory monetisation platform to include the Islamic Finance Industry. ]
So potentially, StormHarbour Securities could be funding the 1st securitisation transaction of up to €500m for UK corporates?
[Quote][ In relation to the Inventory Monetisation programme for UK companies, Supply@ME:
has agreed a Heads of Terms with a global asset manager for an Inventory funding facility with a potential value up to €500m. The Platform is arranging a first portfolio of UK corporates, and is negotiating a memorandum of understanding with a specialised trade finance fund to benefit from synergies relating to UK Client Company origination. ]
Syme is still working on:
The Captive Bank is in the process of being acquired
The Company is working with several Banks to design an integrated service model
Discussions are in place with a number of Insurance Companies in order to create:
a financial guarantee
a dedicated inventory insurance product aimed at generating a new revenue stream for the Company.
And we could be making money from al companies that apply, not just those that pass due diligence.
[Quote][ The Client Company origination and on-boarding process is itself a revenue stream for the Company, since it generates up-front due diligence fees paid by eligible corporates whose inventory will be part of the portfolio of inventory monetised. ]
I think things are progressing quite nicely but am wondering if we will start trading before or after the announcement of the 1st securitisation transaction. I haven't seen anything to trouble me yet - and if the due diligence process is underway, that means we have money c
