Synodon Inc SYXXF

Synodon Inc. (Synodon) is a Canada-based company focused on providing aerial integrity management solutions for oil and gas pipeline operators. The Company has developed a remote gas sensing instrument called realSens that is capable of detecting ground-level hydrocarbon gas occurrences from an aircraft flying at an altitude of approximately 300 meters (approximately 1,000 feet). The instrument contains a high definition photographic camera, a thermal camera, laser altimeter, global positioning system (GPS)/inertial navigation system (INS) system, on-board computer, control unit, power supply and an in-cockpit display system. It offers airborne pipeline integrity management services to operators of oil and gas pipelines, which include leak detection, pipeline threat assessment, Right-of-Way (R0W) change and slope analysis, tree canopy encroachment, water crossing analysis (including three-dimensional (3-D) water crossings analysis) and pipeline location classification services.

Revenue

RevenueJust taken a look at the 3 month MD&A to end April 2015 on Sedar:

"Revenue decreased 77% to $43,660 in Q2-­‐2015 from $190,577 in Q2-­‐2014 due to fewer customer surveys."

I find this really worrying. Not just the decline in revenue itself, but the lack of commentary. Why were there fewer surveys? Is there is reason to see this as a blip? Or does it signal something more serious about future revenue prospects of the company?

And before anyone says you can always pick up the phone and give them a call, I want the company to provide commentary to all shareholders in their public statements. I don't want to call them and get some private comments that they can subsequently deny ever making.

Other negatives:

- Their second instrument will only be ready by April 2016. Expectations of near term benefits from 3 working instruments are therefore very wide of the mark.  If they maxed out usage of their 1 instrument in the last financial year, I don't see how their financials will improve much in this current year. 

- "Included in accounts receivable is $378,421 from one customer that has been outstanding for more than 160 days." I assume that is 160 days to end April, making approximately 220 days to now.


After reading this latest MD&A, I'm really unsure whether to participate in the rights issue. If it wasn't for PvE's explicit committment to subscribe for the rights issue, I would have sold out already. They need to provide more information that allows shareholders to make informed decisions. Very frustrating.
