Hi Ex trader,
Thanks for the apology, I'll pop a £1 in the next hospice i see. A politician is a low blow haha
To answer a few of your points..
- for IP 'worth' £ 225 million, SYME still seems to be in the developmental phase, sorting out 'teething problems' , like discovering that potential funders want a 'first loss' security margin. You'd expect this sort of 'nuts and bolts' issue to have been identified in the 2 x pilot studies...or at least aired in the 'fintech' community as an issue.
I think this has been identified and the 16 investors onboard announced in the trading update RNS will be those who buy the first storm harbour coupons from the what were the pilots. They will be paid a higher rate than first planned but this doesn't effect the SYME income model.
- as regards the 'value' of a pipeline of prospective business, I'm not clear how much they'll be able to execute if they stick to the development/implementation timetable of the platform, funded from £ 1.0 m of the net £ 1.4m Placement Proceeds, which has some features scheduled for introduction in mid-to-late 2021.
SYME has been generating working capital throughout June July and Aug and will continue to do so. This is revenue into the business as they are paid upfront for the service because the have executed the 3 year plan in 6 months. In fact with todays RNS they've potentially double the three year target in 6 months.
