Avanti Communications - Return to base

The company has announced a proposed financial restructuring that should clear the way to resume more normal operations. FY17 results are still to be released, and are expected in January 2018. Until we have a more current financial base to work from, we are withdrawing our forecasts. That is not to say that existing shareholders may not finally benefit from the restructuring. In our opinion, greater risk lies with the proposals not proceeding. The debt for equity swap, interest savings and discount being assumed by the bondholders should provide a solid foundation for Avanti to execute its strategy, with an improved prospect for equity holders.
