In today’s RNS Tintra (TNT) announced that it had received the US $10 million subscription at 1178 pence per share, a huge multiple to trading share price of around 185 pence per share down on the opening price by almost 12% at time of writing this article as follows:
In its business update RNS of 8 November 2021, Tintra (TNT) provided the following information about its proposed restructuring of St Daniel House Limited, the last active corporate entity in what was Boxhill Technologies before it was renamed Tintra:
Dubious quality companies on the AIM and Standard List have long used Death Spiral funding to raise cash to keep the lights on. It appears that now that some but not all of the Bulletin Board morons have cottoned onto the main names in the Death Spiral space that the latest twist is for the Death Spiral Lender to use a front entity to provide the money and for it to be given a industry relevant moniker to reassure the more gullible investors that the new funding is coming a long term institutional investor and not a wicked Death Spiral lender that will crater the share price.
In the current nuclear winter for small cap stock Richard Shearer is proving to be the man to watch as today Tintra (TNT) issued two announcements revealing the raising of significant additional cash to finance the artificial intelligence led banking operation that he is building.
Since I wrote about Tintra (TNT), its rule breaking and interim results on 27 October, it has busy with a few new announcements. Is this now a quarter of a billion dollar spoof?
This company wants to be a regulated financial services player so you might have thought that sticking to the rules mattered. Er...
In part one I looked at the legacy issues and the FRC rule breaches. But what of the sunlit uplands mug punters owning Tintra (TNT) shares are promised?
The audited results from Tintra (TNT) for the year ended 31 January 2022 were published yesterday and reveal a loss of £454,000 on revenue of £351,000. The results primarily reflect the results of the legacy business which Richard Shearer, the new CEO has spent significant time, and money in trying to deal with. So how is he doing?
I haven’t written about Tintra (TNT) for some time. Since I last did, it has continued to sort out its legacy business, seeking to build its new model from the disaster that was St James House (previously Boxhill Technology). It has raised monies at high premiums to its share price, and appointed several impresing-sounding individuals to the Board. The self-styled “rapidly innovating Deep Tech & Banking business” continues in a similar vein, with the following AGM statement:
In my last article, I calculated that there was £21,090 of outstanding convertible loan stock in issue. Tintra Acquisitions (TAL) has today rounded this to £100,000 as extract from RNS below shows:
Two days ago, Tintra Acquisitions (TA) diluted the other shareholders in Tintra Plc (TNT) by converting £100,000 worth of convertible loan note into 1 million shares at a bargain conversion price of only 10 pence per share.
In yesterday’s RNS Tintra (TNT) has indicated that the first subscription at the equivalent of 504 pence per share has arrived which is obviously very good news and sees 148,511 new ordinary shares in issue.
On 10 January Tintra (TNT) announced that a new investor was investing $1 million equivalent to a valuation of 504 pence per share. Today’s RNS provides an update:
Tintra (TNT) has issued an RNS “Strategic Investment Under Funding Round” which saw the shares soar up over 225% at the time of writing. The whole think stinks like a rotting herring stuffed down the back of a sofa in a very warm room.
Richard Shearer at Tintra (TNT)continues with the rapid news flow with two more RNS announcements since my last article. Let’s start with a positive from yesterday’s RNS: "Dan Pym, the Group Finance Director, will leave his job at the end of this week. The Company expects to make an announcement regarding his replacement prior to his departure.”
Today Tintra (TNT) announced its entry into the previously announced AI joint venture. There is nothing like announcing essentially the same deal twice to keep up the news flow. Under Richard Shearer, Tintra has turned into an RNS and share issuing machine. But these announcements are so patently bogus, how can Nomad Allenby sign off on such utter bollocks?
Since the arrival of the new management at what was St James House on 25 March 2021, there have been over 25 RNS announcements from the group now known as Tintra (TNT). That is enough on its own to scream caveat emptor.
I set out below four reasons why Tintra’s (TNT) interim financial statements are not compliant with the requirements of IAS 34 for interim financial statements and why new interims are required. Do I expect Nomad Allenby or the Oxymorons at AIM Regulation to do anything about black and white breaches of the rules? No. My faith in regulators or City advisors is at rock bottom. But just for the record:
This morning’s interim results for Tintra (TNT) record an operating loss on ongoing activities of £704,000 on revenue of £596,000. The bottom line profit is entirely generated by a £992,000 gain on the disposal of Market Access Limited for £1 to John Botros.
