 They have simplified the UK balance sheet a little bit with the Calder money. They have no more bank loans. They repaid the historic loan/balances from the US group. Basically this is the net position as it was at 31 December 2018. 1. The book value of physical assets is £670k, which includes £231k computers with any resale value in a liquidation (rest is lease/fixtures in the leased property). 2. Intangible assets of £1m book value. Worthless. 3. £15.3m in cash. 4. £6.1m in other assets (£3.8m tax credit, £300k prepaid expenses, £1.9m other (odd??) debtors) 5. They had liabilities of £3.4m (£1.6m taxes, £700k trade creditors, £1.1m other creditors and accrued expenses). Extrapolation + Estimates The UK group recognised £17.9m in turnover during 2018. The average exchange rate in 2018 was ~1.34. That means the UK took $24m from the total pot of ~$38m "pledges" in 2018. Leaving ~$14m for the US group. In 2017, the UK's total costs were around ~$25.3m, Cloud Imperium have informed us their total costs were ~$48.9m. So in 2017 the US group would be responsible for ~$23.6m in costs. In 2018, the UK's total costs were around ~$30.3m. These were funded by $24m pledges as above. ~$5.1m tax credit. ~$1.2m loss (accounts show £800k loss). In 2018, we can estimate some US figures. ~$25m conservative estimated expenses (based on 2017 $23.6m). Funded by $14m share of pledges, per above. $3.5m estimated subscriptions (based on 2017 $3.1m). ~$6.1m loss, as the balancing figure. Note: historically I have always underestimated expenses of the US group, giving benefit of the doubt, that may well prove to be the case here too. So when they presented in their blog a "net position" of $14m at the end of 2017, we'd expect 2018 to probably show something like ~$14m - ~6.1m US - $1.2m UK = ~$6.7m "net position" excluding the Calders money and other items. Of course, I do not believe the net position is accurate. For example I don't see any accounting for certain real cash outflows. £400k ($700k) in goodwill to Erin et al for shares in 2014, £1.36m ($2m in 2015) in IP to unknown parties. Since this is some ~$2.7m that aren't really expenses and aren't really capex, it's a murky area but it's cash they sure don't have that would need to be taken away from the net position. Additionally, if the UK group has capitalised outgoing cashflow on mysterious IP, you can be relatively sure the US group has done likewise. So they most likely had real cash reserves of around exactly Calder cash of $46m at 31 December 2018. Historically they run a deficit of $20m to June, so probably had cash of $26m at June 2019 and a surplus to December of ~$10m so may have ~$36m at 31 December 2019. More likely to be about ~$5m lower than these figures, but all things being equal (pledge levels keeping rough pace with expansion) this train has the steam to last through 2022 before needing new loans/investment.

MassivelyOP: Interview: Star Citizen’s Sean Tracy on the gameplay features of alpha 3.7, live today Excerpts: Much of the FPS mining features like personal inventory were already done by many other games. Why do you think creating a similar system took this much time to introduce into Star Citizen? We need the inventory to work with our persistent back-end services that are still being built – so this is a big step towards the implementation of that system. We also didn’t want to have any “invisible bag of holding” that could be filled with anything, or to be a to be a “2D MMO UI,” but instead wanted all inventories to be 3D and physical so they feel real. That is a full system that took time to build out, and we’re happy to release the first step towards realizing that goal. Has the mission sharing system in 3.7 opened up more group and fleet/multicrew play? Absolutely. But it’s not just implementing mission sharing, it’s what the ability to share missions allows us to do from a development perspective. Since we know players can more easily group up in Alpha 3.7 and beyond, we’re able to create more missions and gameplay scenarios that might require groups of people to be successful. Beyond just missions, the ability to share and play together is a core tenet of Star Citizen. Mission sharing and group options means that players can more easily group up – to say, make a pirate fleet that interdicts using the Mantis, or teams up to get a fighter escort for their heavily laden cargo ship, ensuring their safety from pirates, but likely having to split the rewards. Let’s bring it back around to the opening question to close things out: What sort of word or sentence would you say describes the focus of patch 3.8? See you at CitizenCon

Pixelate posted:Is this Squadron 42? It's the current written down value of these: £400k ($700k) in goodwill to Erin et al for shares in 2014, £1.36m ($2m in 2015) in IP to unknown third parties. The goodwill is being written off over 5 years, next year being the 5th. The IP is being written off over 10 years, next year being the 4th. The problem is that it was never disclosed what that IP was and if it was a related party it should have been declared. My suspicion would be that it was a related party and it was not disclosed as such by mistake. It probably was money that found its way to a related party, like Chris Roberts for his ideas on Squadron 42 and basically any ideas he had pre-company formation that were then introduced into the company.

Yep, CIG seems to have studied very well what backers like to see in the streams/shows and what makes them mad, and are tactfully trying to focus on the stuff that makes them happy. Don't expect to see anything like the QA show or the staggered development shift one again, I would wager. They are going to try to never acknowledge delays and always, ALWAYS focus on the new stuff they're doing, no matter how asinine.
