I worked for a company listed on AIM.I did not see any negatives at all, it might be a factor with investors, but the only time we did some corporate activity everything went fine.

I don't see Theo Paphitis buying this and am sure that £25m would not fly. I also doubt a £40m bid would succeed. Almost half the shares are held by a handful of investors.

Unfortunately other investors are not so positive about the results.
The Works are getting too small to be on the LSE anymore. Maybe they should go on AIM?

It's not a good look for KPMG. I am reading between the lines that the company are not very happy with the delay but they are still reiterating that the guidance will still stand when the results are (finally) announced. Doesn't look great when 2 delays are announced one after the other - it can make investors nervous when there is probably no need to be. Wouldn't be surprised to see a change of auditor eventually.

It needs to catch the eye of some institutional investor. Bizarrely if we can get to a £50m market cap. then more funds can buy as it will pass their lower limit.

Je330 - WRKS has net cash - unlike most retailers. I don't know where you got your high debt/equity ratio from but imagine that the issue is capitalised leases. This is an accounting nonsense that was introduced about four years ago by FRS16/IAS17. For example if a business has a four year lease (potentially at an attractive rent) rather than a two year lease it will appear to have twice as much lease debt as the two year lease business - it is complete boll*x and I am a chartered accountant. It makes retailers a bit more complicated to analyse and I suspect many investors/analysts don't understand it. I prefer to look at a retailer based on old ebitda (without adding back current year lease payments) and compare that to real debt. On that basis WRKS scores well and I believe it is undervalued.
