nothing on boots either
jees some things never change with opti
as i have previously noted - i'm giving him to end of this year - at the latest - tick tock
mind not that he will give a ........... and nor should he in response to a BB and his latest placing to keep the lights on
nevermind the gloss put on it within the rns
mol
Sure, but that’s a totally different issue from how much pay he’s awarded or awards himself.
To be fair, SOH and family have a lot of skin in OPTI, much more so than SBTX.
Yes Andrew, we had the strategic and commercial update RNS in Feb. To help make sense of the meaningless percentages; THG took 3 metric tonnes in 2022 so the 36.8% higher uptake in 2023 represents sales of £123K. Can't help you with the H&B figures as no sales took place to them in 2022 so "sales up substantially" could mean anything.
Progress against the stated aim for 2023, each B/U (India, US, B2B and e-Commerce) to be profitable by the end 2023 at least on a month by month basis; B2B and e-Commerce achieved profitability, at least for a month or two, the others didn't.
Sweetbiotix - The Company has included SweetBiotix® in a finished product for a large global partner with a view for an upcoming launch. The Company hopes to see SweetBiotix® in an increasing number of products launched throughout 2024. SOH added in response to a question I raised through TW, "We still intend to launch sweetbiotix as a bulk sugar replacement. These two approaches are not mutually exclusive. We have been surprised and somewhat pleased that progress has been made so quickly with a large corporate in terms of inclusion in a final product."
Aspex - totally agree about TW. SOH should never have gone near him. And I'm very surprised he ever did.
Not sure about SOH's paycheque. It certainly looks disproportionate so far, given where we are and how long it's taken us to get there. But Sweetbiotix might yet be a game changer, which would then cast SOH's remuneration in a very different light.
However, you could still argue that UNLESS/UNTIL that happens, more restraint should have been exercised.
Sorry I mean H2 for 2023
Have we had any guidance on H2 revenues this year, or just the usual signing of deals and future prospects speech?
The thing that surprised me the most is that SOH who is a decent type has been so gullible to associate himself with the TW rubbish machine and has not yet divorced himself.
While I accept the Covid affected everything we should be in a much better place by now.
The missing link IMHO was not raising capital when the share price was over a quid. That was a SOH ego trip by not wishing to dilute his capital.
I am offended by the paycheque that SOH has continued to extract well beyond any excuses to justify it.
IMO, TW is a manipulating shyster only in it for his own benefit. IMO, probably playing both sides. To be avoided.
This motivated me to check how long I've actually been invested here. Since April 2015 it seems. That stuns me. Bought in originally at about 35p and saw a quick rise to a pound. Since then it was a long slow decline which saw me average down all the way to the single figures.
If I'd have bought Bitcoin instead Id be a billionaire 😂😂
Oh well, hopefully this is the year. Amazing to think that people have earned a wage out of this for so long without turning a profit on the product.
Yes, I bought in earlier this year swayed by his forecasts of it being a multi bagger in 2024. But as somone said he is better at shorts than longs
Saigon, if your average buy is at 25p ish, good luck to you. Mine is over double that. And if you've recently bought in, spare a thought for those who have held for 5 years plus.
It would appear (well SOH is leading us to believe) sales of SlimBiome, etc products are improving but not in time for 2023 FY figures due in June.
If SweetBiotix finally gets commercialised, we could see a decent rise. And, Opti's value would increase if SP of SBTX and PBX go up, as we have stakes in both.
So plenty of ifs and buts. And a trial of patience and faith, and then some! I don't subscribe to TW but apart from occasionally being able to bend SOH's ear, he probably knows no more than some of the better posters on here and eg ADVFN.
Good luck. Nearly all AIM shares are an expensive gamble. You pays yer money and...
Saigonsally - I really wouldn’t ask his advice again. Look where it’s got you so far.
Mr Tom, having bought into this company on your glowing recommendation I have lost 25% of my investment. Should I bail out now or stick it out? Thank you
We must be due the results for H2 2023 soon?
Clerical error by someone
Strange thacquision/disposal box is marked tgen
Think this TR1 is related to Opti recent placing. Not YSF selling.
Amazon now have the new leanbiome version back in stock

At an added cost of just 3p per box Slimbiome should not be an irrelevance if the right deal is struct with a Customer such as Kellogg's and with all the science behind it why is it proving so difficult? The indian partner Dr Morepen obviously sees the benefits and will help to make Slimbiome relevant once launched.
The Sweetbiotix Opportunity with Kelloggs is there for all to see.
Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, Rice Crispies, Coco Pops and Frosties are very high in sugar and the 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th best sellers accounting for 16.2M Consumers or 194.4M boxes of cereal all high in sugar content, surely these must all be at the front of the queue for a sugar substitute classified as a healthy fibre rather than an added sugar and the potential revenue for opti is staggering?
H & B seems to be an irrelevance at the moment considering the initial launch in all stores of the slimbiome sachets. I would think revenues would be negligible.
I have mentally written off slimbiome, too niche and too crowded a market. Give me an RNS on sweetbiotix being commercialised any day, that's what I'm holding for and how I hope to make money. if that RNS lands this should double and more.
It's about time Kelloggs embraced sweetbiotix to reduce the sugar content
Also, frustrated that H&B Slimexpert porridge (contains slimbiome) has now been Out of Stock online and Instore for over 1 month now, I thought I would look at Kellogg's equivalent sachets but was horrified at the Sugar content once semi skinned milk was added (H&B already includes semi-skimmed milk powder so is made with added water). The kellogg's variety contains only half the fibre too. Comparisons are; Kelloggs Sugar - 15g, Fibre 2.6g, carbs 33g, salt 0.33g
H&B Sugar - 3.2g, Fibre 4.5g, carbs 15g, salt 0.19g.
Despite this, Kellogg's Oat So Simple range for 2022 was the third most popular Cereal with over 5M Consumers in the UK (see link 1), although with Kellogg's recently losing its Court Case with the Government which means Kellogg's will not be allowed to promote sugary cereals in supermarket special offers it may not remain in that position (see link2).
According to SOH Investor Meets Presentation on 24th May 2023, H&B took 9M tonne for all their products in the last normal trading year in 2020 (2021 Covid year was inflated by overstocking that led to zero orders in 2022).
SlimExpert range comprises shots, meal replacement shakes and porridge; assume even split between the three categories so at £30k per tonne 3 metrics tonne of porridge was used generating £90k revenue for the sale of boxes using 3g slimbiome at 30p per box suggesting 300,000 boxes sold for the year.
Kellogg has over 5M Consumers for their equivalent porridge so assuming 1 box per month consumed per consumer that is 60M boxes, so even if SOH was forced to accept a 50% cut in margin Opti would be looking at £9M in revenues increasing the fiber content and helping consumers feel satiated. My question is, as SOH has already been dealing with Kellogg for Sweetbiotix why has he been unable to cut a deal for Slimbiome?

Just bought some myself and what you pay for is the additional fibre. Compared to Sainsbury's Be Good To yourself Tomato Soup the per sachet differences are as follows:
Sains - Carbohydrate - 13.6g, Sugars 5.9g, Fibre 1.1g, salt 1.02g
Opti - carbohydrate 10g, Sugars 6.0g, Fibre 4.4g, salt 0.38g
