They have 2.6m of debt

Intangibles of 2m

Wait for this.. tangibles of 328k

How much cash did they have left 1,447,000

But the last RNS stated they will use 1.4m of that to pay for an assetless company. So how much cash have they left ? 447,000

And what shite did they buy ? They paid 2.5m for a company that produced a profit of 84k and net assets of 146k .. yes 146k.


So currently it looks like they have massive debts (it could may have well risen) of 2.6m and they have very little cash left...jut 447,000

You can bet that a fund raising is on its way.. ala dilution.


Time to short this one !!!!!!

NBT


Once again haystack you are showing your complete ineptitude.

Read and interpret the balance sheet and financial statements properly. I will give you a lesson in basic analysis for free....pay attention :

It has net assets of 1.9m as at 31st December 2003

But look at what its made up of.

1.8m of intagibles ...... assets that you cant see.. goodwill which is eventually written off.

224k of tangibles..... these are the REAL assets.

1.7m of cash.

2.7m of debt


Now do some simple maths.

Net Tangible assets ? = its negative to the tune of 776,000 (thats right NEGATIVE).

It had NET DEBT of 1m (not net cash but net debt)

However, that cash has been depleted now by the assetless acquisition.. which means cash will be down by 1.4m. Hence leaving the company with only 300k.

But lets put in the net assets of the company they have acquired into the equation which is 146,000.

So new variables are :

370k of tangibles
300k of cash
2.7m of debt

So NTAV = - 2m.. yes NEGATIVE (so its more than doubled since the acquisition)

Net Debt = 2.7m not net cash (again this has nearly trebled).


You keep talking about them making a profit. You are very easily fooled arent you. A profit is only good if the company has net cash inflow. NBT has net cash outflow. Its all very good boasting cash generation. But what good is that if the net result is that net flow is an outflow of cash ?

Also, they are issuing nearly 3million new shares.. which is an 18% increase in the issued share capital. Existing shareholders will be diluted.

It seems Haystack you need to get hold of a basic accounting book and read up on interpreting financial statements the proper way instead of making things up and falling for management talk and the spin that is given out in RNSs.

It's all been a bit quiet here since the above hostilities in the summer. Is there anyone in this one, recommended by Shares Mag as a blue sky play a couple of weeks ago?

Results out today look ok but no way in a million years do they justify the current market cap. of NBT.

Just over 5 mill turnover
Under a mill profit
2 mill in the bank

and a marker cap. of 25 mill!!!

Will short this one once the selling begins.

How's the short going Technet?

Group NBT plGroup NBT plc is pleased to announce that the second half of the current financial year, ending 30 June 2005, is likely to produce a better than expected result. We have been able to achieve greater efficiency in the management and support of the business together with improvements on the previously anticipated cost savings accruing from the integration of Easily Limited into the Group. As a result, whilst turnover will be broadly in line with current market expectations, we now expect PBTA for the second half of the year to be ahead of PBTA in the first half of the year and therefore ahead of current market expectations.

In line with our strategy the Group intends to invest heavily in the
introduction of its products into new market areas over the next financial year,
and so at this time the Board is comfortable with existing market forecasts of
the outcome for the year to 30 June 2006.

Nice rise today....

...and still going up. Good to see following the drift down over the last couple of months. Hopefully see 130p soon.
