Video games producer tinyBuild (LON: TBLD) expects 2023 to be a financial low point with the first half performance below expectations. New games have underperformed and the values of some of the back catalogue titles may be impaired. Higher amortisation of development costs and increased royalties mean that EBITDA will fall more sharply than revenues. The cash position is much weaker than expected and it could fall below $10m by the end of the year. Finance director Tony Assenza has left the board. The share price slumped 76.1% to 8.25p.
Alaska-focused oil and gas explorer Pantheon Resources (LON: PANR) has slumped following yesterday evening’s announcement of a change of strategy.

The share price declined 23.8% to 10.82p.
Sports nutrition company Science In Sport (LON: SIS) reported a double full year loss of £10.6m as costs increased an revenues edged up 2% to £63.8m.

This has led WH Ireland to cut its cash flow generation expectations from £67.3m to £55.7m and lowered its fair value estimate from 27p/share to 23p/share. The share price is down by 16.1% to 13.65p.
Landore Resources (LON: LND) is raising £600,000 at 9p/share and the market price has fallen below that level.
