That's a good point NTM and a 1.1m cash injection is certainly needed - good business over all to be fair getting that price for the asset, did they only pay £400K for it?
For the first eight months of the current financial year, Furnace made a loss of £193,000 and received capital investment of £218,000.
8 months so 2/3 of the year, one assumes 300K investment per annum and costs of Circa 300K per annum, should save them £600K per annum to the bottom line
It's a start... but it's not much, total comprehensive operating loss for H1 2019 was 1.546m - even with the reduced costs going forward, there is still much work to do
Agree that if the 'promised' solarwinds revenue does start to flow in, at any point in 2020, then they should hopefully be able to breakeven, although they would need at this rate Circa 3m revenues at 80% margin from New Business (e.g. Solarwinds) to achieve that, so Circa £250K per month
They do mention an update in the Interims
'SolarWinds is live and additional improvements are expected to commence in the first calendar quarter of 2020. The mid-market product continues to grow, and we are also expecting this to progress in early 2020.'
No mention of the previously mentioned significant ramp in revenue, and the figures they was quoting in 2018 (Wasn't it 200-400K per month?)
Who knows, good luck to all those invested, if there isn't any Solarwinds revenue in the next 6 months here (significant amount) now they have said its live and ready then it will be clear in the results
