V5 - most rational people will say it as it is. 2020 was an exceptional year due to covid, 2021 was good but a lot worse than it could have been given that we failed to capitalise on omicron and 2022 has been an absolute disaster to date. H1 non covid revenue was £3.5M, that’s £583K per month. Covid revenue is basically gone so we’re looking at being a £7M/annum revenue company. Now compare that with our cost base.
Yes we have £100M in the bank but we can’t do anything with that because of the DHSC dispute which is likely to rumble on for years. Even if that wasn’t an issue, our board is utterly incompetent so do you think they’d spend it wisely?
Add to all of that the senior execs have just given themselves a massive pay rise, whilst other much lower paid staff will be losing their jobs to help reduce the bloated cost base, having very quickly taken the company from profitable to loss making, what exactly is there to be positive about? As a loss making company the best we can hope for is a SP that reflects cash so if the dhsc dispute goes our way we can hopefully see a £20m ish rise in the marcap. Other than that, expect us to just carry on in the low £1’s.
It’s AIM. It’s volatile. It’s full of incompetence. It’s full of crooks.
