No surprise that management continues to be unable to find an anchor shareholder - no doubt they are hoping for a full acquisition to help extricate themselves from the mess that has been created, but Teun Teeuwisse suspects that any interested party will come to the same conclusion that he has: 1) Real cash generation is non-existent. 2) Net debt is materially different from the net cash reported - normalising trade working capital alone increases debt by €153m, normalised VAT and social securities adds another €55m. 3) The equity is almost worthless - €54.3m or €0.51 per share vs. current share price of €5.30.

Management claim strong revenue growth and stable profitability in H1 2021, but do not be fooled by their attempts to deceive the market.

A short video outlining Julien's thesis can be found here.
