    306,000 shares traded today at 80 cents.From last previous sale of $1.25 we have seen Syft's market cap fall in one day $33.267 mil.
    ie down 45 cents with 73,925,992 shares on issue.
    I would doubt it is Doug Hastie selling on market,however I think it will put pressure on the price he will receive for his 11,253,981 shares .

    I’m assuming it would be in Doug Hastie’s best interests to find a trade buyer for his 15% stake - dumping the shares into a relatively illiquid secondary market will take some time to move and only put further pressure on the share price.

    If I were Doug, I’d be looking for an industry player or a venture capital fund who believes there is some upside. Maybe the large shareholders who rolled Doug believe in the future without him and are prepared to double down?

    The large shareholders who rolled Doug have seen the value of their shares fall 36% today.
    I trust they have a buyer/buyers for Doug's shares.
    Be interesting seeing at what price.
    I had thought of adding to my holding, in the expectation the rollers had a plan to see Syft progress more positively.
    However I will sit on the sidelines until the dust settles,as I do not add to a losing position,yet I think Syft have all the ingredients to be very successful.

    Does anyone have any insights whether Doug Hastie has been moving his stake or not? From what I can see the number of trades and volume through USX has been small over the past month. I agree with Southern Lad that he's better off approaching a VC, fund or potentially existing substantial shareholder.

    I also note from my review of their 5th October market announcement that the half year results should be out this coming week. Any insights whether the impacts from Covid they had previously noted have continued? If they haven't been able to get to customers and make installments then I'd say this will impact them significantly.

    Still profitable,with a strong balance sheet,however cash flow is negative,and the move to a greater service model will add to overheads.

    I thought the results were fairly respectable in the circumstances but certainly a big drop in growth. Share price has been absolutely hammered since Hastie was shown the door, I am wondering whether to top up at these prices. Huge potential if they can stay on track.

    What put me off last time I looked at this company was their low stock turnover.
    Is it/will it improve?
    Even the best technology will drop out of sight if not enough stock can be sold

    I believe their current problem is more opportunities than they can explore and they have been going hard to increase production. Hopefully moving to the new building will help with that.

    Until covid, growth was pretty exceptional and expected to continue with ambitious long term targets (1 billion in revenue). They are currently working hard in environmental monitoring and semiconductor manufacturers, but there are plenty of other areas they can explore when they have the capacity and freedom to travel for sales and installations.

    Sounds great but
    Sales $14m,inventories $7 m? So they have 6 months worth of inventories?
    Trade & other receivables $9m nearly 60 % of annual sales?
    If they sell $1.1m/month they are waiting 8 months to collect their money ?

    Is this too simple a summary ?

    Sadly, it just does not conjure up a company going anywhere fast. No wonder the board? was not happy.
