Ann: Trading Halt-AKK.AX, page-66

"Sans Cottee"!!! "No change otherwise"!! Have a look at their current expectations compared to the blow torch pressure that was imposed on them by Cottee with his continual chant that this was a billion dollar company if ever he saw one. He was an idiot, but, clearly had huge pressure influence on everyone who worked with him and they made some horrible decisions under that pressure.
He is completely out of the picture and from what I see (having been there before, primarily BECAUSE of Cottee) this "new" management, as I consider them to be, seem to have much more reasonable and possibly doable targets that they are aiming at. We won't know that until we see this funding deal and IF they have any flow rates.
THAT'S when IMO we can only have substantive and decisive commentary on whether or not this company can achieve these current goals. That's when I'll be making my decision as I'm simply not prepared to anticipate those answers, nor, be influenced by those commentaries which provide no substantive data. I'm personally looking at AKK now as a potential mid term chance and leaving the punting to the punters.
