Another Stanley Gibbons shocker

The collectibles group appears to be in serious trouble following news of a fundraising amid widening losses.

The equity raised will be used to plug the company's debt hole as well as fund near-term working capital commitments, including integration costs associated with recent acquisitions. It also appears Stanley Gibbons' auditors have resigned given the high level of risk associated with the business right now.
