Theres a few reasons, one being, if you have company that's worth 1p per share, and you need some money fast, you can offer shares to the market at 0.8p, and they will prob be bought, by existing share holders and newbies, existing holders will be pi55ed off, cos the price will have dropped, but if you need more money later and its still around 0.8 you haven't got much room for maneuver where as if you consolidate and the price jumps to say 40p with less shares in the market, you can issue more shares once again at a lower price to attract investment, say 36p, once again pi55ing off existing holders, but there's more money in your slush fund, and hopefully you will invest in the company wisely and the share holders will be happy, (also if you need even more money at a later date you can offer at 34p, and so on and so on). This is one thing that didn't happen, amongst others,with RMM, the priced kept dropping and investors bailed out, bad management decisions in Canada, blah blah blah. Same ol' same ol.
I could be wrong on some of the fundamentals, others on here could make the case better than me, but I think you'll see what I mean.
