From my point of view it is neither here nor there if FG had posted a profit for 3 million or a loss for 3 million . It’s the same situation just a different way of showing it .
Debt is debt. You can buy it back at a discount or convert to shares at a discount, and if you so wish present that as a positive on the bottom line , but it doesn’t go away.
In the case of Mediapolis we borrowed money to buy back that debt . It doesn’t matter that it was at a discount ...we now owe that money , and have recently borrowed from one source to pay off another. The only positive was getting first charge on the land , and we now know how that played out .
I asked a question the other day as to why the original Mediapolis creditors accepted an 80/88% discount when they knew of the winding up ? Why not wait and see the proceeds of the villa/land sales distributed to them ? It’s becoming clear why.
Anyway....not much point flogging that one any more .
If we manage to remove all outstanding debt by conversions and cash recoveries then the share price will reflect what’s left after costs divided by the number of shares , and all assuming we have some viable investments to bring in income going forward ( and that the recovered cash is not squirrelled away by our beneficiary interests)
I have sold all mine this week , mostly before today( but 2 million this morning) at between 0.42 and 0.46) and at an overall loss of about £3750. If anyone can claw back some loses or eventually make a profit then hats off to you .
