RE: Next steps for Drum? Being taken over?8 Jan 2021 10:54
I have taken a small stake here, but am mindful of the illiquid investment in KCR which stands on the books at £767k, or 31.5p per shares. The current mid market price for KCR shares is 23.5p, which would equate to further book loss of £192k.
The current NAV for KCR is £12m versus a mkt cap of £6m. The latest results talk of significant improvements at the company following the investment by Torchlight at 45p per share with the expectation of being cash flow positive within the next 12 months.
Given the above, I believe Drum will be able to sell their holding, if they so wish, at close to the current SIV and utilise the funds, along with the recent placing to make further acquisitions.
I think Drumz have made a good move with Acuity Risk Management and I expect them to take up their option to acquire a further 5% of the company.
Will probably add further on any pull back in the share price prior to the 'exciting news' promised this month from Acuity.
