Verseon: Another Woodford Dog goes to the great kennel in the sky

This morning yet another AIM cancellation was announced: that of Neil Woodford uber-dog Verseon (VERS). Having failed to raise cash from a placing, failed in its bid to jump on the crypto-currency bandwagon and having failed with its fatally flawed proposal to do a sale-and-leaseback of its headquarters because that would have left the company with no cash, no income and no assets, shareholders voted through its AIM cancellation as from 7am this morning.

VERS

Vindication 2, Verseon – Neil Woodford dog to leave AIM, his investors losing 99%+ in 10 months, announces bonkers plans – are the directors on Acid?

`Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); `now I'm opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Good-bye, feet!' (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off). `Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure I shan't be able! I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can; --but I must be kind to them,' thought Alice, `or perhaps they won't walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.'

VERS

BREAKING: AIM-listed Neil Woodford Dog Verseon – polishes calamitous news but it looks like toast

AIM-listed Woodford dog and wannabee computer-generated drugs developer Verseon (VERS) has announced the sale and leaseback of its headquarters in Fremont, California. It says the sale will provide working capital but in case the $34.7 million price tag looks like good news, it is most certainly not. This is a calamity and by my calculations Verseon could be technically insolvent even upon completion.

VERS

Neil Woodford out-of-cash dog Verseon – proposed sale of HQ buried in AGM notice: the Grim Reaper approaches

It is surely now only a matter of time before this AIM-listed Woodford Dog is taken out and shot as an act of mercy. Out of cash, piled up with bills to pay, with no income, a failed ruse to play the crypto-currency game and with benefactor Neil Woodford now out of play, AIM-listed revolutionary drugs-from-a-computer generating machine Verseon (VERS) has announced it is looking to sell its HQ, the research, development and operations facility in Fremont, California. There is a slight snag, however, in that it is already mortgaged. What will the forced seller get for it?

VERS

Cash Hungry Neil Woodford Dog Verseon releases interims – when will this mutt be taken out and shot?

AIM-listed Woodford dog and purveyor of revolutionary computer generated drugs Verseon (VERS) released its interims results yesterday – deadline day. A look at the balance sheet says it all as the company bleats that its Magic Money Tree (ie Neil-Knows-Best Woodford) is barren. It has no income, is piled up with debt and nobody wants to invest.

VERS

Neil Woodford Dog Verseon joins his 90% club. Is it insolvent and when is the crash landing due?

Neil Woodford is in the press for all sorts of things – bashing by the Daily Mail (another one today), his partner selling his house -The Times which also tells us that he is moving out of biotechs. And on that score, I see that AIM-listed Verseon (VERS) has more than halved in price over the last few days. We’ve not had a statement from the company, although I fancy it is running out of cash quickly, but it seems that someone was very keen to get out last Thursday.

VERS

Neil Woodford Dog Verseon releases FY18 numbers. Material uncertainty? You bet…..

Tom Winnifrith and I have already stuck the boot into Woodford Dog Verseon (VERS, but formerly VSN) as it raised yet more cash to keep the lights on in March. Of course, that fundraise fell to Neil Woodford who ponied up 105p per share for 7.5 million shares of the 7.7 million share issue. That was bad enough, but being near-enough the only investor in town (armed with other people’s money) he coughed up 105p per share when they were trading at 74p – madness!

VERS

Verseon Placing : Neil Woodford spunks $10m investor cash (again) at wrong price – all that is rotten in his failing empire

Neil Woodford has today spunked £7.5 million more of his investors cash in a £7.7 million placing by joke company Verseon (VERS). It is a cynical and seedy waste of other folks cash which shows the moral rot that has set in at the heart of the crumbling empire of Britain’s most disliked, failing, fund manager.

VERS

Woodford Revolutionary Pharma-Dog Verseon launches blockchain nonsense. (PS- have you got $10m Neil?)

In my piece of 24 January I predicted that AIM-listed Neil Woodford dog Verseon (VERS, but formerly VSN) would need more cash and this morning it announced its intention to raise $10 million through a subscription “for working capital” (yeah, more like ongoing losses…) Oh, and it wants to raise funds from a global investor base into its new blockchain security. Oh goodie, where do I sign up?!

Tom, have you been to Israel? It's obviously not necessary to have visited to have a view about Israel. I'm just curious about the back story of your support. I declare an interest, my partner is Jewish and I have been there many times and also have done business there. My partner's family hold very conflicting views about Bibi.

Who knows where the gold price will be if and when Kefi start to produce gold. My concern is that if you go back through the RNS over the past years things never seem to work out as forecast. If each stage of the relaunch has to be completed before the next can start, which was my reading, progress will make snails look fast.I would like to see documented proof of the loan terms and drawdown conditions. If I recall correctly Tom did write to Harry about this with no reply. Afraid that I did have dealings with African banks on behalf of clients in the past and my rule was that if you shake hands on a deal count your fingers afterwards. The £5.7m bank fee in the interim cash flow still concerns me, what was this for. Western banks add fees on drawdown, advance fees make me nervous. I would not buy until the main contractors are back on site and the loan monies are in the bank even if this means paying more.

The bear case at Kefi is a lot stronger than many want to admit, especially as the bull case is essentially that this time Charlie Brown finally gets to kick the football.But since the gold price is irrelevant to the bear case, speculating that gold might go to $1150 is incredibly silly. Particularly when at the time of writing gold is back above $4000 again.
