Science fiction
OPINION: Last week's announcement of Prime Minister’s new Science and Technology Advisory Council hasn’t gone down too well in the science community.
Over the past year alone, the share price has lost 82% of its value, leaving the troubled company with a market capitalisation of only $65m.
There are only two options for Synlait. Either it has to sell assets or it has to raise more share capital.
But no one wants to buy its $400m under-utilised Pokeno plant and not too many shareholders are keen for a capital raise either. Something has to give.
