There's a thread 17 pages long and growing, on this over on the KVR forum. It seems lack of cash was not the issue behind this, as their yearly profits seemed constant enough..the yearly growth of their posted profits, that is. It's looking more and more like a take-over..one which has left them legally muted.

The only real facts we have to go on are the following..

they might have sold out to somebody else..well, that's the impression that some have gotten, based on the few facts that are known.

1) They had around £400,000.00 in the bank, as of 31 Mar 2014 - Total Assets less Current Liabilities: £437,864.00
( https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/camel-audio )

2) Somebody posted the following over on the GearSluts forum..
( https://www.gearslutz.com/board/10701434-post9.html )

"I just pulled their accounts from Companies House, thinking they might have run into trouble. They had a reasonable amount of cash in the bank, although they were small enough to only have to file abbreviated accounts, which more or less ruled out that theory unless something really bad happened in the past nine months.

However, the SH01 form, which updates the information on who holds the shares was filed with today's date and is not yet available electronically. So, an IP sale seems likely, particularly as the circumstances are very similar to the Apple purchase of Redmatica's IP: so long guys, thanks for all the fish; here are some download links; use them before we switch off the server."

Over on the KVR forum one of the Sound Designers who was working on the planned new Alchemy 2 VST says he got no notice of anything being wrong..no call or email. He just went to log in today and couldn't.

It's also been suggested that the owner, Ben, who usually tended to make posts on the CA site had died, as the last post made was by another member of CA staff, which seems unusual to some. This line of thought was swiftly put to rest though, when one of the KVR members who personally knows Ben posted a reply stating he is very much alive.

Personally, I'm leaning towards an IP sale, which more than likely means we may never find out who is behind this..that is, if they don't come forward and release some sort of statement. Shame, though..as I was really looking forward to getting my hands on the planned Alchemy 2.

It's like a bizarre wormhole of speculation where knowing nothing has suddenly turned inside on itself and now we know less than nothing.

Actually that could be plausible.

But then again anythings possible.

In other words, par for the course?

This thread is gonna be better than that "Add 3 words to this sentence"

I guess we shouldn't let camel audios closure be the hump of our jokes, but still..

Honestly I think they probably merged with some other company, they were too good to just "die" like this.

It's "continue this sentence with 3 words"

I prefer analogue business cessation. Much warmer.
