A £15m placing if Ruyi walk away Ironic ? How are you coming up with this figure? The mkt cap is only approx. £5m now.. and would go down from that if Ruyi walk, I expect .. To raise £15m then would be very hard imho and extraordinarily dilutitive . Instead I offer, if they even required a raise if ruyi walk, I don't expect it would be anything like as much as 15m gbp?
(The £10m now owed - versus approx. 2.2m a year earlier - was indeed a red light for me too... and it was unfortunately not broken down exactly, but the factoring - recourse instead of non recourse factoring would be cheaper for fees charged bagr by factorer but if invoices were not paid Bagr would now take the hit instead of the factorer.. so were some invoices looking like becoming bad debts in the period for eg ?.. but maybe they'd be retrieved further down the line still which would bring down £10m etc.. also there is £3 m cash in hand ….also I expect the lag between invoices to be soon paid against expenses already incurred would help too... and factoring and import financing costs are different types of debt to the Ethiopian factory loan ... and, more generally, a company carrying some debt is not necessarily a bad thing )
Aside: generally, AIM financial reporting always comes with a large pinch of salt/health warning imho.. is at often, at best, unclear and usually an exercise in smoke and mirrors imho...
