Additional Funding27 Jan 2019 17:30
From Safesocks -
'Cenkos, the house broker for Seeing Machines published a note on Jan 19th. In it the analyst John-Marc Bunce wrote: “We therefore maintain our previous assumption of a minimum A$18m equity raise in the summer with cash arriving at the beginning of FY2020 and note that assumption is the minimum needed at the last minute to fund the business through to profitability.
“Based on what we learnt at CES, and the extremely strong Automotive pipeline announced today, we believe that this timeline would be brought forward as the company should be accelerating investment to defend its market position.” '
Assuming A$25 million is required prior to June, that equates to roughly £13.6 million.
As this is primarily required to fund the increased demand and also urgent requirement by OEM's, maybe either Semicast or Safesocks as regards additional funding are correct as taking into account the true value of existing and expected new business, this is a relatively small amount.
And who wants further dilution, especially in the Semicast scenario?
