Yu never had any intentions of selling low margin business to capture customers - they stated that they had high margins, so was never their strategy. What happen is that their new FD has taken a look and told them. The CEO should have known, if he didn't that is incompetence and £250k a year paid for what? Perhaps the FD should now run the business, this might increase the confidence. BK took money out at the placing - so should be putting that back in and reducing the board salaries. Also how can a business not in profit be paying dividends - surely only when you have distributable reserves. I don't believe the numbers from 2017 now so the P/E makes no sense. There is probably some value in the customer book if sold to another energy business but way lower than todays market cap now that they are distressed.
