They will be paying for their current premises for several months, whilst setting up the new one. The new one is largely funded by clients, so those clients will have special treatment. What were the terms to gain that funding from clients?

Given the supposedly huge cash pile, why didn't they pay for the new facility themselves and avoid giving some clients preferential treatment?

It'll mean potential new clients will have to wait and potential loss of those clients.

From the company:

"The new facility's first phase is anticipated to reach completion in Q1 2024, with the full site expected to be operational by Q2 2024. hVIVO's current Whitechapel and Queen Mary Bioenterprises Centre (QMB) clinics will close in 2024 but will remain fully operational throughout this transition, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery to the Company's clients."

Why is a video of the new premises more important than the facts, fundamentals of the business?

Huge 7m options for 1 director!!

"The deemed date of award is 24 February 2022, which is the date Mr Khan was appointed CEO. Under the LTIP, Mr Khan has been awarded 7,227,273 nominal cost long term incentive options (" LTIP Options ") over ordinary shares of GBP0.001 each in the Company."

https://polaris.brighterir.com/public/hvivo/news/rns/story/x21q5mw

I see the MO's, CEO, huge 7m options as a red flag.

I think the nonimal divi, the company is being talked up just before MO can exercise his options. No other BoD was awarded with such huge options. Plus they were backdated a year before they were awarded.

Why do you think his 7m options award was backdated by a year to when he joined and not when they were announced?

What will happen when millions of options are exercised???

S4 Capital have confirmed what I've been saying for ages.

Ad tech have had challenges going back to 2017, since P&G demanded clarity within the ad tech ecosystem. Ad tech got a boost from covid lockdowns and is now returning to pre-covid challenges.

The latest of last week re MediaMath

Post Sept 10th

Rishi Sunak seems concerned his pledge to tackle the huge NHS waiting lists is in doubt. He'd have to do a lot more to reduce the huge waiting lists.

I expect to see some more plans and money during the Autumn Budget.

"As of March 31, 2023, the Company had net cash of $89.1 million"

How does that compare $89m compare to just 3 months earlier, Radium?

It's a massive $25m, over 20%, lower than they had just 3 months earlier.

From the company accounts, with a link to prove it:

" $115.5 million net cash position as of December 31, 2022, alongside remaining $80 million undrawn on the Company's revolving credit facility,"

FACT

Radium,

"Firstly, I never read any of stt's clap. I have him filtered here and I scroll past anything and everything he posts elsewhere."

Then how do you know what I'm posting?.

You're doing your usual of pulling the wool over reader's eyes, hoping they don't check anything.

Is it easier to pull the wool over reader's eyes if you silence the messenger and blame them rather than your own stupidity on not seeing the red flags?

Let's take a look at the evidence/facts:

Just a week ago, you were telling posters on TLY that "I'm still at it". How do you know what I'm posting if you got me on filter??? lol

Until 2 weeks ago, I hadn't posted on here for 2 months and Nano for 6 months. In fact my previous post prior to 3rd Sept was 4 weeks earlier. How am I still at it then?lol

Readers can see the evidence - 3rd Sept 13.06 TLY thread.

"Whereas I commiserate with the ordinary Joe invested here, this guy (stt) dedicated a career to damaging the hopes of so many other people invested elsewhere. "

"And, he’s still at it, so no change there. At one stage en-route, he used his full year ISA allowance to buy Totally shares at around 60p/65p and while promoting that purchase he actually posted the details of it on the advfm board at the time. "

https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/radium1/

Both Trmr and Nano have crashed based on the events I warned about.

Anybody can read my posts. https://www.lse.co.uk/profiles/stt1/

Try and be honest for once.

"during the 1Q23 Conference Call. Laura Martin…So, you have round numbers, 90 million of cash."

we're approaching end of Q3 (Sept 30th), cash at 1Q23 is 6 months out of date.

Since then one of their partners, MediaMath has gone bankrupt, owing millions to various companies, inc Trmr.

Why not state their cash position at latest published Qtr, Q2 end?

They took out a secured loan of $180m when they bought Amobee a year ago. The mcap has gone down around 50% since.

Are they at risk of breaking banking covenants on that secured loan?

How much of the secured $180m(£145m) loan still outstanding?

It makes more sense to ensure such a huge secured loan isn't outstanding.

Are they at risk of breaking covenants on that secured loan given the market cap has fallen by nearly 50% in 12 months and isn't that much more than the secured loan?

Is it desperate measures to avoid breaking banking covenants?

They paid $239m for Amobee, a company generating ex-TAC approx $150m. They also took out a secured $180m loan, majority of which was used to fund the acquisition.

The company(rthm/blnx) has a long history of acquisitions, which go on to fail and are eventually closed.

"The Acquisition consideration of $239 million, as adjusted, was funded through a combination of existing cash resources, and approximately $100 million from a new $180 million secured credit facility. The new credit facility consists of a $90 million secured Term Loan A drawn at closing, and a $90 million Revolving Credit Facility, of which $10 million was drawn at closing."

"For the twelve months ended June 30, 2022, Amobee generated preliminary unaudited Contribution ex-TAC of approximately $150 million, "

Amobee.

Trmr bought Amobee 12 months ago.

NHS England waiting list hits record high as 7.6m on hold for routine treatment

Both the government and NHS England set the ambition of eliminating all waits of more than 18 months by April this year, excluding exceptionally complex cases or patients who choose to wait longer - and all waits of more than a year by March 2025.

"An estimated 7.68 million people were waiting to start treatment at the end of July, up from 7.57 million in June.

It is the highest number since records began in August 2007 and marks the eighth consecutive month of increases."

"And to build these functionalities by yourself, will take you years. "

"we need to plan for the long term"

What have they been doing for the past 10years then, planning for the short term???

The ad tech ecosystem needs fewer DSP/SSP. Individual DSP have worked well because of clarity. Trmr runs both sides of the ad tech, therefore there's a lack of clarity.

FACTS - something you don't like.

The Trade Desk, the biggest DSP.

The Trade Desk (TTD) previously quoted as saying that their one sided approach was the key to its success...other companies have also ditched both sides...

"Many companies that tried to run ad tech businesses on both sides later have sold one side off: Rubicon shut down buy-side platform Chango, with then-CEO Frank Addante admitting the acquisition was a failure. Tremor Video just sold off its buy-side business to focus on the supply side. Amobee sold its sell-side business to focus only on the buy side. The Trade Desk, which has seen its stock skyrocket post-IPO, consistently cites its single-side, agency-focused approach as a key to its success."

MediaMath going bankrupt was another shot across the ad tech ecosystem.

Ad tech companies have to M&A or die.

MediaMath went bankrupt only 2 months ago when acquisition talks failed.

Latest Shares on Loan figures shows they increased to 7m in August.

FACTS:

2 months since results.

1 month since AR published.

No evidence of significant selling by major IIs > 3%.

All AGM resolutions passed. Total votes suggests all major IIs voted for.

Dividend and retain auditor resolutions passed unaminously.

Ex-divi date was last week.

so...

The deramping significantly increased over the past 2 months as well. Lots of misleading posts by derampers but facts don't back up what they have been posting.

Now read below, read 1gw on advfn posts and look at the huge increase in shares on loan? Sounds like exactly what's been going on, doesn't it?

Inventory payments within the ad tech ecosystem:

***************************************************

The ad tech model works by DSPs/SSPs, partnering with each other. It is usually the case that the company would pay their 'supplier' (other ad tech companies) around 60 days but receive their cut from 'customers' (other ad tech companies) around 90 days. That gap("inventory payments") has to be covered from their own cash or they setup credit facilities.

"Brands and agencies often pay DSPs on 90-day or even 120-day cycles. But DSPs pay SSPs between 30 to 60 days."

"DSPs shoulder this burden directly because they constantly owe money to inventory suppliers. The Trade Desk took out a $200 million loan in 2017 to preserve liquidity while it bridges inventory payments. MediaMath has raised more than $600 million, including $225 million last year."

https://adexchanger.com/online-advertising/sizmeks-bankruptcy-is-changing-how-the-supply-side-manages-dsp-debts/

As I've said before, Sizmek going bankrupt in 2019 was a wake up call.

MediaMath filing for Bankruptcy was a continuation of the challenges which followed P&G demands for clarity within the ad tech ecosystem in 2017.

Because of the way inventory payments work and the fact ad tech players partner with each other, there will be millions owed to trmr, which could be unrecoverable and so have to be written off.

This is what happened to following Sizmek's bankruptcy a few years ago.

The company/sector newsflow has been as expected.

MediaMath going bust was expected.

From my previous post, 5th July 2023 16.07.

Lots of Ad Tech companies partner with each other.

Look out for the $millions of bad debt provision. Money trmr won't receive but they will still have to pay to partners they owe to.

Because of the pay inventory works, the full extent won't be known for months. This will snowball as it did with Sizmek.

MM isn't the 1st company to run into trouble and it won't be the last.

This on top of US banks going bust and needing emergency rescue.

Based on the FACTS, I will adding soon.

The shares go ex-divi this week.

FACT no2

AGM:

It isn't uncommon to withdraw resolutions ahead of an AGM. They listened to their shareholders, which is what BoD are supposed to do. I wish more company's BoD would do so.

All resolutions were passed

As in my previous post, the major holders with > 3% hold around 91m shares.

Resolution

1 - to receive and adopt AR, directors reports and Auditor's reports were voted through with 91m votes, so unanimously

2 - to pay the dividend was voted unanimously

3,4 - to reappoint directors was passed.

5 - to reappoint the Auditors was passed unanimously

so...

with 91m votes, it looks obvious the major shareholders voted in favour of the resolutions unanimously.

Why have those big shareholders voted to retain the same auditors and vote through the resolutions?

Have all the big investors missed something or are the derampers right???

The dividend has been voted through, the resolution wasn't withdrawn and there's no rns saying the divi is being withdrawn.

We'll have to see if that dividend is going to be ex-divi and be paid soon enough.

If the company was in severe financial trouble as the derampers are suggesting then why would the company still pay a dividend??

The surge in Shares on Loan, small trades, number of trades together with the surge in deramping posts, says everything.
