How is it out of date?
You only have full year audited accounts once per year. Uniteds year end is 30th June so how the fuck were they supposed to use this years figure?
Don't get me wrong, the timing of the offer might not be a coincidence, but they did confirm all the relevant financial data for the 9 months ending April 30th
'How the fuck'! Not needed at all pal.
The fact is that they have produced OOD audited figures and that is why they had to claim dispensation with Uniteds Ex VC stating that it was 'impractical and involves undue hardship for the company'. This dispensation was granted solely on the fact that they didn't have to produce because of jurisdiction, ie. one reason that they have moved their accounts to the Caymen Islands, also becuase they claimed 'Emerging Growth Company', something the US set-up to push through deals without too much red tape.
IPO's without audited accounts, or in this case accounts that are over 12 months old, are normally told to wait so that investors can get the full facts prior to purchasing and although the Glazer's have given relevant information they have not disclosed the facts and left investors to work it out themselves.
So, like I said, they gave OOD figures, it's not in question and definately not 'How the fuck'!
