Hi TRENCH,
Can you explain how the award of share options in the future and some at multiples of the current price affects the cash position? Why these options would make you believe the cash position is better than others think and that they don't need a placing? Only if they offered him a bonus scheme then I could see it, but these options do not cost them money as a pay rise or bonus would, so I would take nothing from the RNS as it really doesn't show anything about their current cash position.
If you would like to look at the current cash position, first you need Laura's figures, then discount the cash figure for trade payables (|Laura only looks at the plus side), then realise they had a cash burn of £50k per month and since then have employed senior staff (staff costs last year were £672k that wasn't for a full year of Mark Davies and now they have even more senior staff employed), their wage bill will be much higher this Full Year.
Then look at the newsflow, contracts are small and the largest recently reported, is going to start in over a year's time??? So with all that information and a history of losses, do you really think the current cash position is anywhere near enough? As each month goes by they have less and less funds to rely on, if you wait until you really need to raise, the price gets shredded, so while they still have some funds they will look to raise while they can command some sort of deal.
