pgh3 - This was always going to be a difficult time as the situation is still raw but that said if the suppliers confidence returns with the passage of time then they can see their way ahead by continuing to supply. The suppliers need the orders and hopefully the board have convinced them that the security going forward is good.

The internet has given small business a new lease of life now that suppliers are becoming the weak link in the chain.

..What an odd comment..... the companies that actually make the stuff are the "weak link in the chain"

Retail's problem is the huge cost disadvantage sky-high rents & business rates shackle them with.

pgh3, a lot of the problems started when suppliers (like yourself I guess) started to give the bigger retailers better terms by way of price and credit, in addition to agreeing to close small competitive accounts, and allowing them to become masters that dictate to suppliers. I have seen small retailers distraught because large brands have pulled their brands from small stores, whom were loyal supports for many many years, having in many cases built the brands.

Bar the employees concerned the Brands concerned get what the deserve and see their businesses become next to worthless.

The internet has given small business a new lease of life now that suppliers are becoming the weak link in the chain.

One small shop can now service not only the nation but the world if they wish too push the boat out. No big overheads needed now.

pgh3, do you not insure against invoices to large retailers?

you are forgetting that the equity raises bring in cash which obviates the need for more debt.

8p , 20p , 40p? It makes little difference to those of us mugs who paid £4 or so. Sorry for the redundant. I will continue to ignore this holding but just use it as a reminder not to follow tips.

Surprising -

But the Euphoria is the survival of the overall group so there is a bounce -

I wish MTC a recovery because whats out there is not pretty -

As a supplier it’s a bad day and I’ll wait to hear from pwc to see what my debt is worth and if we survive.
The laugh of it is that the letter that I received from the COO has asked me to continue making their stock for next season - some f...ing cheek.
My thoughts are also with the 2500 staff that look likely to lose their jobs.

Retail in the UK is broken, with spending habits changing and the strive by most retailers to make ever increasing margins and debasing the quality of the products. Unfortunately it’s a race to the bottom.

"well the plan is all clear now. steady rise to 20p before year end taking the market cap to about 80m?"


Have you read the RNS?
Certainly not analysed it !

If you add the existing equity 341m shares to
+new 32.36m shares
+Convertibles same terms 55.0m shares
+ Equity raise same terms 250.0m shares


You get 679m shares (some dilution)

It then may need the term loan - terms not yet agreed £15m
and partner backed facility of $10m

To generate OPERATING profit of £10-15m

Take off interest and financing costs .... say £1.5-2m

At the lower end of their range that falls out at about 1.25p EPS before tax

So you would value that at 20x ???
I don't think so

Also that term loan may turn into some sort of convertible , even same terms would be another 150m shares
which would lower EPS

What else are they shunting to below Operating profit.
Not only that but they have been wildly over optimistic with forecasts for years so why change now?

They prime the mug punters by talking about being BANK debt free - as we can see that is entirely different from being debt free.

Why is that?
Because they will not be able to get bank debt ?

That's quite a lot of stock they must ne carrying, considering it may be knocked out at a fair discount. Reasonable to assume that the major supplier of stock to MTC (UK) is MTC PLC? Traditionally the suppliers get stiffed as well....

Not a company I follow, but AIUI the central plank of their Transformation Programme is stiffing the banks for £24 mill?

..."Existing £24m bank debt facilities will be paid down by the administration process" ..

Or are they saying that the bank debt may be paid off thru admin? ;-#))

Now looks like a healthy £20m+ EBITDA company with regular international franchise income sheltered from domestic troubles.
