Surely it is only a matter of time before cash burning and downing in debt satellites group Avanti Communications (AVN) calls in the receivers? Keen to assist and bring forward that great ouzo o'clock day for we members of the global shorting conspiracy, I have some more bad news today. Oh dear. Oh dear.

Shorters have undermined the price all the way - with hindsight this was the best vehicle for shorting I have ever seen. I expected the price to rise from £7 to £9 when #1 launch went better than we dreamed - and it fell to £3.50 , apparently because DW sold some personal shares. Cannot believe I defended his action at the time, it took me a long time to realise that he was making sure he was ok Jack!

It was an obvious catalyst for shorters and traders - sell masses , bomb the price and watch the aftermath gather momentum ad finitum! From £3.50 to £2.50 followed and it stuck over £2 for long enough to make me think it had reached the bottom. I topped up, and that looked like the catalyst for more shorts down to the knees! Now at the ankles. And DW has been totally useless throughout.

Can't believe I still believe in the concept - there simply has to be markets - we just need a brain at the top to make the most of them. I think I would have concentrated on the UK to get a good profile to take into Africa, but I am not an expert. Without a track record the Africans were expected to take a gamble on AVN for which they could not be expected to pay top dollar?

Shorters? Surely the real reason this company is in a dire state is the failure of its management to execute on any of its recent business plans.

[weatherman] 29/10/2016 08:54

You see how the shorters have screwed the company over a short term hurdle by reducing their ability to use their equity to raise funds at an acceptable level.

Broadband in the vanguard of education
A number of factors have contributed to make this possible. The European Space Agency (ESA) has contributed €10.7m (£9.7m) to help connect 1,400 sites across sub-Saharan Africa over the next two years using ECO. Equally important are the technology and business models that make ECO viable.

New Work HYLAS 2 satellite

fantastic news for our HYLAS 2 satellite and we all know how busy this part of the world is for all major government Massive income and revenue

TS2 SPACE has recently launched new KA-BAND satellite services

Using the HYLAS 2 spacecraft, the company now provides high- speed data services to Iraq, Syria and Armenia.
The HYLAS 2 satellite carries 24 active Ka-band user beams and six gateway beams. The Ka-band spot beams are providing two-way communications services to facilitate high-speed delivery of data to end-user applications such as corporate networking, broadband Internet access, business continuity services and video distribution.

Marcin Frąckiewicz, CEO and founder at TS2 SPACE, commented: “With the launch of new Ka-Band service on Hylas-2, TS2 is proud to introduce latest technology to customers in Iraq, Syria and Armenia. New service allows downlink speeds up to 20Mbps, five times the previous maximum, using a smaller antenna. Higher performance is gained at a much lower cost, which allows up to four times higher connection speed at the same cost, if compared to previous Ku-band service, without compromising connection reliability and stability”.

New Ka-band service is based on the field-tested and proven technology provided by iDirect. Ka-band service requires smaller antenna, reducing the equipment and transportation costs and making the installation easier.

TS2 SPACE is a leading provider of satellite communications systems. It provides global telecommunications services within the coverage of international satellites. The company offers all capabilities of using satellite technology for data transmission, phone calls, and Internet access.

As reported in September Updated outlook
As part of the Strategic Review, Avanti has updated its outlook on future revenue, capex and working capital.
As previously stated in the trading update on 7 July 2016, revenue is expected to be approximately $83 million(2) and EBITDA is expected to be approximately $8.0 million for FY2016, based on contract wins in the fourth quarter being over $70 million. Revenue is now expected to grow at a rate of 35-40% p.a. over the next 2-3 years. In Q4 FY2016, utilisation of the existing fleet was in the 35% to 40% range(2) , including the full pro-forma impact of significant new customer wins in the period, demonstrating strong momentum.
Capital expenditure was approximately $96 million(2) in FY2016 and is expected to be approximately $110 million, $80 million and $25 million in FY2017, FY2018 and FY2019 respectively. This guidance assumes that the Company makes savings in certain capex programmes which are under the Company's control as previously announced.
Avanti's working capital increased by approximately $42 million(2) in FY2016 following larger clients demanding longer credit terms. The Company expects to collect on its outstanding working capital balances, and significant inflows have already occurred in Q1 FY2017 while the on-going receivable balance will continue to grow in-line with revenues.
Pursuant to Rule 28.1 (c) of the Code, the directors of Avanti confirm that the guidance given on 7 July 2016 remains valid and has been properly compiled on the basis (i) of the assumption stated and (ii) that the basis of accounting used is consistent with the company's accounting policies.
As of 9 September 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $56 million.

Lack of news on takeover is unexpected. I wonder if they are hoping to trade their way to breakeven. Push back the debt payments, cut costs and hope for growth in revenue.
