Delay due to the audit team's Christmas holidays! That's the best worst excuse I've ever heard. I suppose it's better than "my dog ate the accounts". Compare their previous trading statement to the actual results to get the picture here. Many of the figures they quoted in the trading statement are materially different from that reported in the results. This is common practice for MDC. Last time they did that they sold their options at great profit before announcing results which were far more disappointing than their trading statement.
You may be right about the difficulty in pinning an actual breach of regulations. As anyone involved in business knows, most regulations serve to make life more difficult for honest people to go about their business. Sadly, there is an infinite number of ways to be dishonest, whilst regulations are finite. Stock market regulations in particular are particularly ineffective at preventing dishonest self enriching practices. Does anyone know what the business strategy is and how they intend to ever be profitable. I struggle with statements that we just witnessed a fantastic year when the company generated such losses and spent the entire proceeds of sale from gambling.com (sold at a fraction of the expected price and value we were led to believe). If they don't have a strategy to change things, we will see them coming to us for more money this time next year. |
