On the frozen buyback, I'm a bit stumped. If Shore Cap have discretion, they may have been waiting for the share price to fall back a bit further, but that seems unlikely. At THIS point, they may be in their quiet period if results are in fact due by end of Feb, but it's true that they haven't been buying from before the usual 30-day-to-results restriction period.

I've a long-standing belief that Ador would need to be pursuing new capital around this time to fund their new generation, all-singing, all-dancing diagnostic tech, probably dating back to when BATM were showcasing it at the Milken Conference this past summer (source would have been a fellow shareholder who managed to attend or spoke to someone who did, but I can't recall). In fact, I believe I've written a couple times since then that one potential - though obviously less likely - event catalyst for our asset-rich, public valuation-starved share price would be a significant up round which blows well past the current, very modest imbedded valuation for Ador, but one where BATM also does not participate, allowing its current 38% to be diluted down to say, 25%. The result of that would be that the Company would save the cash for the buyback and investment elsewhere, but also end up with 25% of a much larger imputed valuation for Ador than currently, which could then have a real impact on the share price. Anyway, a girl can dream.

So here's the more positive view of this RNS, as I'm confident the company (ie., particularly the share price) continues to suffer from the long delay without an update on its restructuring program and its overly conservative comms policy generally: 1. first off, as Resistance points out on the other thread, the 'Tier 1' customer is a designation the Company takes very seriously and so should the market, though it clearly is not at the moment. That under-reaction is then being compounded as the market is, for now, ignoring the fact that not only is this customer 'Tier 1' but Egility is replacing a legacy provider. The latter, for me, is a very big deal. 2. As to the relatively 'small size' of the 'order', my view is that the qualifier 'minimum' in front of the £2.4m should be respected. At this stage, surely the only revs BATM can claim in an RNS are the basic, guaranteed engagement fees. In addition of course, the most under-appreciated attraction of the Egility business is the tiny marginal costs of supporting customer order, making even smaller business wildly profitable. 3. Nothing to do with today's RNS, but as we are now in December, one can safely assume that the year's numbers are set or near-set, so I think we can more comfortably take a profit warning - particularly driven by CityFibre, which was my biggest fear - off the table, as a primary reason for the share price weakness. That leaves some combo of the continued hostilities in the Middle East, continued malaise in the UK smaller cap market (which, tbf, I believe are finally easing) and deep anger and frustration with Moti's failure to yet engage the balance sheet restructuring promised in Summer 2023 (my 'favourite' reason by far) as the main causes for the very poor share price performance this year. However, with the AGM approaching, and the end of the fiscal year soon after that, especially as I know that management are acutely aware of how damaging rising shareholder 'fed-up-ness' with their lack of positive advances - particularly regarding the long-promised corporate transactions meant to re-focus the business once and for all and, maybe even more importantly, their abject lack of comms to explain that lack of progress - has been to the share price, I genuinely believe we're in for a much more engaged period from the company. Whether that gets us the share price re-rate I think it deserves of course depends (almost; I still think we can go back to 30p just on a muscular refutation of some of the negatives that surround the share price, without even touching on a solid sale price for a business most of us didn't even know existed, new orders, progress in Cyber, etc) entirely on what the Company actually have to say.

One (partial) theory favoured by some in the market is that there is something fundamental being discounted here outside of Moti's failure to deliver on his strategic review thus far, and that's an increasingly gloomy view around CityFibre. While there's an argument that this is unfair since there really isn't any accounting for material revenue, let alone profit, from the CF contract in the company's immediate forecasts or current share price, CF is obviously a big part of BATM's future plans and much has been made about the huge margins/wildly profitable nature of the partnership once it reaches critical mass. In the past couple of years however, there have been periodic concerns about CF's - and the industry generally - viability, and then recently there has been a downgrade to UK growth prospects both before and after Labour's win and I do think BATM may be suffering a steady decline in sentiment and share price given its exposure to the UK economy through CF (of course, because its a UK smaller cap, it hasn't had any compensatory rise in sentiment or share price on the back of the commercial Cyber deal with Thales - or similar-sized player - though it deserves to in my view). The bottom-line however, is that a LOT of bad news - none of it at all confirmed - is likely now discounted at 17/18p and so the company is in a position to lead a revival in the share price if they can come out of the shadows, mea culpa in hand, and start delivering some updates and transactions. Yes, before anyone asks, I believe they will.

First off, the 9m share print was a fund-to-fund, which is why it had no impact on the share price. More importantly, on the lack of movement, I agree it's been very disappointing. While I measure the starter's pistol on Moti more from the summer of 2023 when the company held its capital markets day and Moti's plans were formally unveiled (the first 6 months of his CEO-ship were obviously focused on more pedestrian matters), its still been nearly a year and a half without any transactions meant to simplify the balance sheet and gain greater focus for the business as I was expecting. Meantime, the share price has suffered the same as if they had issued a profit warning anyway, so the lack of an update on their plans - eg., whether the inactivity is more a function of the crisis in the region or a more structural inability to find suitable acquisition targets at the right price and/or being unable to sell or shut down the businesses targeted for disposal - is likewise extremely frustrating, even mystifying. One (partial) theory favoured by some in the market is that there is something fundamental being discounted here outside of Moti's failure to deliver on his strategic review thus far, and that's an increasingly gloomy view around CityFibre. While there's an argument that this is unfair since there really isn't any accounting for material revenue, let alone profit, from the CF contract in the company's immediate forecasts or current share price, CF is obviously a big part of BATM's future plans and much has been made about the huge margins/wildly profitable nature of the partnership once it reaches critical mass.

To me, the potential value-creator most ignored by the market is Moti's genuine commitment to an acquisition/disposal strategy which has no impediments to beginning immediately given the Firm's strong balance sheet, but then, for the first time I can remember, the Company under Moti is now promoting 'partnerships' and/or JVs in developing its core businesses as well. Just as I believe selling Distribution and/or Carrier Ethernet (my current 2 favourite disposal possibilities) could make a mockery of the Company's currently suppressed valuation (much as the sale of NGSoft did), so too of course would a tie-up with an industry heavyweight say, for Edgility, or the development of a 'civilian' Cyber business. The key to this part of the Company's strategy on the share price is that it is obviously not based on signing new deals, or hooking up more customers, securing new contracts (well, at least not in the short-term), etc.; i.e., these are actions the Company can and hopefully will take in the next 6-18 months, (largely) independent of delivering on operational goals. This is what a deeply discounted sum-of-the-parts Company with nearly 1/2 of its market cap in cash and multiple healthy operating businesses is able to do and, unlike Zvi, I believe Moti has signalled that he is (finally!) prepared to do it and on a material scale. This can and should, I believe, easily drive resistance's share price projections without needed recourse to anything special on the operational side.

This story at this company (and its share price) have been so long-tailed + the urban blight that has covered the UK small cap market, that the bar for 'success' has been raised to absolutely ridiculous heights. Forget the immediate revenue potential here for a second. Just the marketing boost alone of having Edgility, an otherwise obscure US-based business, gaining the imprimatur of AWS, who likely have brought Edgility in to help improve their Greengrass service which is notoriously cumbersome, would be worth a 15-25% jump in the share price if we were listed anywhere else on earth. I know we don't know the economics of this yet but NASDAQ is not on all-time highs because most tech companies have been exploding their current profitability. It's also on the back of anticipated future earnings boost from AI, etc AS WELL AS huge liquidity on the back of increasing investor appetite. BATM has gone the opposite way obviously and all it takes - given the recent news flow especially - is the slightest turn in that dynamic and the share price could be back at 30p without a lot of effort - well maybe a little effort - from the net income line. Let's see.

Small comfort, but useful for the share price to close up again after spending much of the session lower, though volume is poor. I think management is likely doing some one-on-ones with some existing instos and hopefully, a couple new ones through the week. Indicates the company thinks this deal - and I am beginning to agree as well - is a bigger one than the headlines suggest, perhaps more for signalling their strategic direction than financially, but still a more exciting step for the Company than the early share price move would suggest. Watch for the share price to grind higher slowly but surely over the next couple weeks/months.

I have to go back a long time to remember any time I have seen an investment behave like this. Once was in the 2000 tech collapse where good and bad investments went to the wall largely because investors were running scared of the entire sector and any company that did not have adequate financing could not raise cash and was forced to close shop.
There have been instances like Proteome sciences PRM that I invested in but bailed out of before it crashed as the company was unable to convert the science into a saleable product. Ironically though they are still in business but the share price is a fraction of bygone times.
BATM has accredited positions in 3 different sectors. Edge computing, Medical diagnostics , Cyber. These sectors are all "in favour" areas for investors.
BATM has plenty of cash and has developed its IP in house and has not had to go to shareholders for cash.
Companies like BATM ought to be popular in times like this as they are defensive stocks as they are unlikely to get forced out of business due to the above parameters.
So whats gone wrong?

The share price slide started some 3 years ago before the war etc and has been in a relentless fall ever since. BATM market sufficient legacy product to keep their head above water and support their R&D.
The "new" stuff is yet to really gain traction from a sales perspective.

Edgility and Edge computing is a very real improvement that companies will adopt. Edgility has had all the good reviews and done all the trade shows even won some impressive business from Cemex to 911. Telco systems has struggled since they took it over and other than a brief moment of glory when they supplied Nokia its been an abject failure in the sales department.
Conclusion Edgility have the product but they clearly can not sell it, they need a close association with a major player and I can not believe they can not find one.
My own view is that they are making a first class mess of this and are wasting their R&D lead time.
Telco systems is hopelessly non managed.

Medical division are addressing a key area in the detection of infectious diseases and Adaltis has been doing a steady business. The issue here is that they are a minnow in a field dominated by large drug companies with enormous resources.
Still its not as if they have no business but their sales growth is anemic.
They do have a large investment in ADOR but then they have invested significant funds in other areas that they have been unable to convert.

Cyber has been a solid performer for them with the IDF contract. Here again we see the same pattern . They were supposed to develop a commercial platform for business. They have cyber bundled with Edge solutions. But where are the sales other than the Israeli military.

OK so we have 3 areas that they have all the right products yet their sales are lacklustre.

BATM brought in a new CEO and went about a restructuring plan to ensure they were more proactive in getting across the line so to speak. This clearly has not worked and enough time has gone by for investors to want to see some results we are not in this to lose money.
The listings fiasco has not been sorted out and management are taking a very cavalier approach with Investors expecting them to believe what they are saying. BATM have created a credibility problem for themselves which was entirely avoidable.

I am assuming that BATM connect with their potential customers the same way they connect with Investors and they are making a complete mess of this.
What we have here is a company with simply massive "potential" that as car1pet might say could not run a chip shop and I dont mean the silicon variety.

I value the company in the 150p to 200p range (no war) 80p to 100p (given the present state of the conflict)
Management need a very serious boot because they are clearly not communicating.
I believe BATM should provide a current update on the business to Investors given the extreme falls in the share price.

That is all rubbish and an excuse.They are in business they get contracts ( hopefully) that is what shareholders should expect them to do..they have guided on further take up of Edgility ..so it is part of expectation.They have guided to some M&A in terms of selling no core businesses..fine go sell some..but they are fully free to deal n the shares unless there is the real certainty of a transaction.Same with any acquisition.There is no reason the directors have not been able to deal after the results and are not a in a lose period now. They just don't want to risk their own money...an awful sign when the shares have fallen so far and the executives say they are cheap. Money wear mouth is time.The end of the half year is in 2 weeks and little has been delivered. The share price is moving against the sector and Israeli indices .the share price here is normally correct...we just find out why after the falls.I doubt trading is good or anything positive is happening in the background I'm afraid. The share price is telling us so.

Personal I think the company are running a tight ship in testing times, as a genuine investor I want to see a well run company with an increasing share price BATM has a large Spreadex 3%+ short and I guess others, on the company, and you can see them daily keeping the share price suppressed, no matter how well the company do they've got their hand tied behind their back. I'm sure the company although not admitting to it keep an eye on the share price I believe in restarting the share buyback will help to decrease the amount of free shares in circulation and increase the share price over time, these shorts need to have their fingers burnt big time!!
