Check out research analysists posts. From a couple of days back. Or read through the main accounts.
Amphion's interims (view the detailed financial report addendum 10..), total liabilities are $29,053,470 (£22.44m) that includes convertible promissory notes, promissory notes, and several loan facilities. This figure excludes monies owed to the directors of $4.5m (£3.48m).
If you then add the directors' monies to the £22.44m you arrive at £25.92m. Now, applying mandatory routine fiscal adjustments (cash burn and interest payments on the liabilities) gives a projected debt value of £27.4m. You then deduct this figure from the Amphion's accessible assets - in this case, their 8.5% stake in MTFB. This will give you the negative NAV mentioned above.
Also worth noting, AMP has only made one loan payment post its interims. In the meantime, DataTern has incurred further liabilities that supercedes that payment.
Yes, it's all pretty messy really and they are in an awful state. Thus, it would be extremely naive for an investor to ignore all that and just imagine non-existent blue skies. It's no wonder the management were keen to arrest the senseless rise in the stock price considering the debt levels. Just look at Debenhams to see what debt does to valuations.
• As of June 30, 2018, the company had a cash burn rate of $228,244 per month or £176,288 per month.
