Q4 accounting

Q4 accountingIt will be interesting to see how the Wilan strategic review is reflected in the year-end income statement. I'm not sure but it could be that Wilan results will be segregated under something like "assets held for sale," which might lead to the reporting of a profit for the year on "continuing operations" or under some heading roughly equivalent to that. In a way it shouldn't matter because it's just a cashless accounting issue. The company is the same. But markets, nevertheless, tend to care about that sort of thing. -------------------- I can imagine the people at Wilan would be disappointed about all this. Wilan was supposed to be the cash machine that would drive the transformation of Quarterhill. And my sense is they were (or are) making good progress. But a combination of covid-related court slowdowns and big tech infringer tactics has led to a situation where Wilan-side delays are holding up the compelling ITS-side story. While it would be a downer if Wilan were to end up being sold for, say, 70% of its true (or ultimate) discounted cash-flow value (let's hope not), it might actually be best in the end if the proceeds help ETC-IRD to win in the world of ITS. What's at stake there is surely far greater than whatever might be left on the table re a less-than-100%-ideal sale price for Wilan.
