I'd apportion blame somewhere between the Co Sec. and CFO with the auditors not looking very clever on the dividend. It is only AIM and it is only c£100m and this is the sort of risk you take investing in that size. It looks like the Co Sec is really the Group Financial Controller - it feels like they need a proper Co Sec. The minimum I'd expect is for them to explain how they have addressed the issue in the next accounts.

The RNS has no material impact on shareholders or directors, however it does show a worrying lack of corporate governance. That's the issue for me.

[zimbtrader] 11/8/2020 17:26

And, how rude of me? Thank you 18BT!

[zimbtrader] 11/8/2020 17:25

Someone took their eye off the ball or much worse. Oh dear... Feel for holders as I suspect this may be the opening of a can of worms. Not read the RNS in detail on my PC. Still in bright sunshine on my phone BUT with beer in hand.Priorities!!

Zim, all of these omissions are not uncommon, but I would say that it is uncommon to find them all at once. See for instance TND, which had a spat with one shareholder on its limit on NED fees. The auditors should have checked the dividend one, but that does sound like a genuine mistake.

[martinthebrave] 11/8/2020 07:53

Well that didn't work out. Bottom line taking a bashing & the Outlook was basically waffle. Took an early bath for 5% loss!

[nhb001] 11/8/2020 07:53

The results seemed decent to me. Any thoughts as to what has spooked the sellers?

[lastoneout] 10/8/2020 20:24

Anyone got the faintest idea of what the Company is trying to tell us? We seem to have gone down a rabbit hole.

[martinthebrave] 10/8/2020 14:33

Bought back in hers. Good luck tomorrow!

3 reasons to look at Amino

In the first of a series of reminders that we will be delivering on Fridays to
spotlight the opportunities in AIM tech, we reiterate our 215p target price and the
investment case for Amino. After an impressive Capital Markets Day yesterday,
with a tech run through and case studies, the technological excellence that
Amino’s integrated devices earned a strong reputation for is evident in the
software. From a financial point of view, we draw attention to the benefits of
software revenue growth and the increase in recurring revenue. From a structural
point of view we barely need to notify you of the now-default consumer
expectation to view TV content anytime, anywhere and on any device, but also
direct from the content provider platforms as well as from broadcast/telco
platforms – and Amino enables this. From a historical point of view, management
has excelled at ensuring excellence in its supply chain management, margin
maximisation and cash generation. While COVID brings the risk of muddying the
waters for every stock, Amino is in the right place and at the right time during
rapid TV platform evolution.

Transformation: The transformation to drive software, and decline to pitch in
commoditised device situations, was announced in January 2019, with restructuring
completed by April. Amino integrated devices (set top boxes) are already
differentiated by their software quality, and the acquisition and integration of 24i
Media (acquired July 2019) has accelerated software & services as a proportion of
revenue (now 25%), as well as accelerating growth.

Structural: Netflix doesn’t run live TV as a platform, so think of the Amino product set
as enabling Netflix plus Sky+, in providing video on demand AND live TV on any
device, anywhere, anytime. Consumers expect this: and it is what each broadband
provider (fixed mobile or cable) needs to provide, to capture more spend and reduce
churn. Smaller telcos don’t have the budgets of Netflix, or Sky, so Amino provides the
in home kit (set top boxes or Smart TV app) as well as the anywhere anytime any
device platform access through a compelling and familiar user experience. Content
providers would also now rather distribute content themselves, on their own platform,
but not all have the budget of Disney+: Amino enables Broadway TV for example,
providing a platform for Broadway online, with great take-up (+4000%) in lockdown.

Track record: senior management has gained a reputation for margin maintenance
and cash generation, and transparency. Add revenue growth as software grows and
device revenue stabilises at a high margin, and Amino is set to deliver value.

Good cash generation since update on March 30th - now net cash of $1.7m vs $1.3m debt

Great potential medium term imo

Progressive new note outCOVID-19 updateAmino has released an update on the impact of COVID-19 on the business. Overall, the devices supply chain is returning to normal but the pandemic is now impacting customer spending and the FY 20E outlook clearly remains uncertain. Pending market stabilisation, dividend payments have therefore been suspended - including the proposed FY 19A final dividend which retains an additional $5m within the business. The group has financial headroom of $13.7m as of today. The strategic move towards software, alongside a broader product set and more diversified customer base following the 24i acquisition in our view gives Amino a strong platform, and financial position, to face the challenges arising from COVID-19.
