Investor take

Special-situation opportunity

Distressed technology with salvageable qualities — special-situations priority.

Opportunity 47/100 (watch), bankability 50/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: Resolve: Company in liquidation. Company is actively being wound up. Not a going concern. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100). Current lenders should be on monthly review.

50/100
