Selling the franchises to current franchisees, what you on about?, do you know what the MTC franchises are?. Rights issue - doubt it, either way it will still involve significant dilution. Sainsbury's loan - why would they?. Nope placing, massive dilution.

Itcm1: Alternative source of funding = someone gaining control in return for cash?Seriously that's how you translate it? Alternative source is not going to the bank and that's all it means. It could mean selling the franchises to the current operators for a fee. It could mean a rights issue offered to shareholders underwritten by a merchant bank for various amounts. It could involve saunsburys offering a loan in return for for some kind of in store cooperation agreement. And yes it could mean someone buying a majority stake and shareholders being diluted to ridiculous levels. No one knows.There are wild assumptions being made here and I'm just offering alternative possibilities.

Terminated you sound shot to pieces. 'Alternative sources of funding' is shorthand for someone gaining control in return for loaning the company money.

You have become emotionally tied to this share and lost all sense of perspective.

DD Dealy is buying Capita.

Let's say they raise 20-30m reducing debt to 30m. Thats well below their debt ceiling which can once again be used for working capital. But bare in mind the CVA would basically prevent debt rising, the only thing that can add to debt is if their report a loss. The only people who know realistically what they need are management.

Loganair: why not 2 shares for everyone or 2.3 with a free cake sent to every shareholder? It really would depend how much they need to raise, obviously there is more chance of it being taken up the less they ask for and it seems you are working on a 50m+ figure.

There is a case for the company to return to normalised margins. Given the footprint, the brand, the investment in systems/ infrastructure etc. The company should be able to generate 10m per year in profit. If they can convince stakeholders of this there is no need to value the equity at peanuts

loganiarOnly just read all of your post, where was it from?.They are using outdated (pre profit warning) earnings forecasts for 18/19, so no way is eps going to double to 2.4p with 50 less UK stores, CVA, restructuring costs, etc.Think 1.2p eps (current equity) is more likely, if that, this is still way over valued IMO.DD

I really hate this self fulfilling dynamic of shorting small cap shares. The shares are shorted in this case down to a 30m market cap making it impossible for the company to raise money without wiping out existing shareholders. Shorts are feeling good relishing in the belief that they are on to a sure thing. When private companies get into the same position they raise equity against a business plan not based on a shortable price in a screen (minus a discount). The only way out is to get the share price up via disposals or operating improvements and then raise equity. There was a shorting ban on the banks for this very reason in 2008 and I believe it should be re-instated for small caps. Shoters didn't create the margin or balance sheet problems here but they make it very difficult

As I said about 3 months ago when I followed dealy here , he made all the same Comical Alli comments about CLLN.

He is priceless.

As far as his gut instinct is concerned it's his tummy rumbling with wind and it seems to come out his rear ......

I wish I had shorted merely on the strength he was posting here.....

If one is lucky will be 4 shares for every one held and if at a 50% discount would mean ones 1K would be worth £100, then if the share price was to double £200 one would have lost 80%.
