ALFA

Alfa Financial Software – interims including “overall… expect to meet expectations for the year”, but how confident to really be of that?

Describing itself as “a leading developer of software for the asset finance industry”, Alfa Financial Software (ALFA) has announced its results for the first half of the 2026 calendar year headlined “Strong growth in ARR and TCV, demonstrating continued strategic progress” and stating “overall, we expect to meet expectations for the year”. What about this from the valuation at a now 165.6p share price having commenced the year at above 200p?

Alfa Financial Software – two and a half months since half-year end cares to update & surprise, surprise…

“Alfa Financial Software Holdings PLC ('Alfa') provides the following update on trading, ahead of its interim results which will be released on Thursday 26 September”. Hmmm – why such an update so close to the results announcement? – and not ‘pleased to provide’ I immediately note…

as you know I rarely drink. . badly phrased. im trying to say the cash that Amaroq will have to sit on, spend on capex, exploration dividends etc will come from profits it makes after tax which are its retained earnings

Schoolboy howler alert, “the cash comes out of retained earnings”? No it doesnt. You were doing so well up to that point. You sound as though you have been drinking which may be the reason, but as you well know, cash and earnings/profits have nothing to do with each other. Say ten Hail Marys.

Mcap £12M largely underpinned by £9.6M receivable from Recyclus. Or it was until 0700 this morning.What is MNTL left with if Recyclus does go bust / into new hands via liquidation? The largely paper acquisition announced 30 September, and...... er, that's it.That external funder can set whatever terms it likes for the D4E. MNTL either accepts those terms or the funder has the 9 o'clock appointment with the liquidator and can pay its fees and pennies in the pound to the secured creditors, and the liquidator will be duty bound to accept a quick and dirty sale to preserve the jobs.

amount owed to taxman rose from 319k at 30/6/24 to 861 a year later. Given how it has now defaulted on payment plan I think my guess that it is a 7 figure sum is an educated onei agree suspension is subjective. But TM1 would not itself go bust if recyclus did so it is not a pending clarification of ITS final position time yet.

MNTL puts out a RNS using the Adam Reynolds keyboard which you think covers an outstanding winding up petition for "a seven figure sum" (your guess) that it can give no certainty it will see off via an external funder.... and yet you don't believe the shares should be suspended pending clarification of the company's financial position?Whatever you say.You've called for suspension elsewhere over much less.

Gelion – “Strong Independent U.S. Validation of Gelion’s NES”, timely ramptastic?

WELL INFORMED19 Oct 2026

JRB is ok but personally not the best, to me at least. There are others such as Andrew Maguire, Peter Schiff, Alasdair Macleod who I think have a much clearer view of what is going on, and explain it in a fare more concise way.Sometimes it's not all about charts, but fundamentals. The charts may look bearish for both gold and silver currently in the short term, but if the fundamentals come to the fore with what is actually happening out there, runaway US and world debt, sticky inflation, rising bond yields (they are bullish for gold contrary to popular opinion) and general world disorder, along with two wars, plus the fact that gold and silver miners themselves are throwing off record amounts of cash, it beggars belief that both PM's and the miners will not eventually go on a very bullish run.

I will not argue with your first statement. for the evidence is clear. Yes of course cash spent on capex cannot be used to pay a div but as it moves thru cashflow statement not P&L it does not affect retained earnings. So if AMRQ makes a $200m profit in the 18 months to dec 27 (it could spend $150m on building BA and still pay a div with spare cash and as it would then have retained earnings of $97m. I was only suggesting a nominal 1p per share to start with (so a cost of $6m)

Tom Winnifrith Bearcast: Why Amaroq will tell me to Foxtrot Oscar

DUCKnDIVE19 Oct 2026

Well, I am a moron then because I assumed the folding cash for asset capex would come out of actual profits in a rush over a couple of years maybe. However it is presented on paper, I thought the actual cash would diminish rapidly leaving less to distribute to shareholders.
