My read of the RNS data can see that cash reserve is good and reserve cash in bank is enough to maintain current cash burn for multiple years.
RNS 21 april - Strong balance sheet with £40.2m (2021: £55.4m) of cash as at period end.
yes clearly we spent a lot vs income received. but this isn't a fully set up commercial enterprise yet, its an emerging commercial venture on the back of R&D. if you are expecting that we should multiply revenues by 1000 X overnight then you are lying to yourself.
i agree bonds statements at time of reading were optimistic, however if they weren't optimistic people would have also been blabbing how he doesn't believe in the product or the tech (at the end of the day the job of a CEO is to support the company on its way to long term success not to appease shareholders in the short term, remember he is a shareholder, he will inherently want the shares to do well in the long term)
31 july - · Award (post period end) of up to £4.3m of matched grant funding from UK Government to support transition from diesel generators at UK construction, mining and quarrying sites
-Initial commitment by joint venture of £2m in new H-Power Generators
things are clearly ramping up both in terms of interest and income,
i know of few company's in the early stages of commercialization with cash reserves to maintain 3+years, and given the progressively ramping up interest, partnerships with big names and receipts of government grants its a clear indication things are changing for the better. even the fact cash burn is increasing is a good sign as there hasnt been a significant uptake in new hires so its a clear sign that manufacturing is ramping up. if this were 2018-19 still i might agree with the doom and gloom approach but right now all signs are that things are actively improving, as that continues it will eventually reflect in the SP. remember most of us holding bought in at the pure R&D stage because we believed in the IP, any R&D investment is inherently high risk. as this goes to commercial stages investors ultimately look more to the financials, its going to take time for those to look appealing for a MCap of £100m, But it would take even longer if cash burn wasn't high - as you cant charge for product you haven't even started to make yet.
simply put the high cash burn at the moment = manufacturing is happening = potential revenue increasing = improved financial statements down the line.
