what absolute clown would want to take over this ****show ? you’re living in lala land, cm22. this company and especially baloney bob have made one epic fail after the next to crash the sp from a high of 130p + to less than 10p in under a year. even with a seemingly optimistic (although yet to be supported) rns, the sp does f. all. that’s quite a sign.

the money from the tmta “deal” is still awol. how can such significant sums of money be unaccounted for? (no need for the bod to do any more work until they’ve spent that cash on a few cruises around the caribbean sporting their hawaiian shirts and deck shoes, with a cuban cigar in one hand and pina colada - with dinky pink umbrellas - in the other) “this time next year, we’ll be millionaires!” (but the shareholders will all be in therapy)

As they say, it’s always 5 O’Clock somewhere. Life’s a beach for bikini Bob and his bozo buddies - so don’t for one minute think that summer nearing it’s end will mean things are about to start happening at BELL.

Market cap has disintegrated by 75% this year - yet we haven’t heard a word from the “CEO”. Share price is at a new low. No new contract news. All utterly disgraceful !

Don’t worry, I’m sure Bob’s mantra whilst sipping his ice cold pina colada is “don’t sweat the small stuff” - before deciding whether it’s fresh sashimi or a good old chunky Bologna sandwich down at the beach….

For what ? To celebrate his resignation ?

satchell has a brilliant track record of building and running both private and public companies on a global scale. i really thought that his appointment to the board (only four months ago) was an encouraging sign. however news today of his resignation is extremely concerning. i’m sure he isn’t one to find turning a company around too much of a challenge. perhaps he didn’t want to be in business with a bunch of cowboys? perhaps once he had access to all of the company data he realised it was a **** show ? perhaps he felt that it would tarnish his reputation? any little faith i had left in this company has diminished. sack the ceo !

Disappointed to see that this absolute tool of a CEO who has failed repeatedly on every aspect of his job remains in place on a monstrous salary. If this was a football team, the manager would be fired - yet Bob the Clown gets a big belly rub and significant coin. Doesn’t bode well for the future of this company or indeed any PI’s. Good luck to the newly brainwashed investors who have recently bought in - say goodbye to your money !

May I respectfully add a few more?

1 Significant reduction in revenue (now at about the level of an East London pie and mash cafe).

2 Significant increased loss.

3 Significant cash burn, including all of that acquired from the totally botched acquisition of TMTA.

4 Significant future cash requirement-even if one believes the future order book.

5 Significant time until the company gets anywhere near break even.

6 Significant lack of detail in the RNS about anything vaguely material.

7 Significant lack of activity by the BOD to replace the very obviously completely useless overpaid arrogant CEO.

Probably significantly more negatives-but who appears to give a flying fig-as no investor comments and hardly any trade.

@clenchedcheeks. It seems like desperation rather than “confidence in the products” !

What exactly was the point of the TMTA acquisition?

No wonder, when there have been absolutely no shareholder or market communications since the monstrously disastrous April RNS which successfully disintegrated the market cap of the company. That seems to be the only achievement to date of this inept Board of Chipmunks.

For just how long do shareholders need to put up with this Board of Chipmunks ? Change needs to happen from the top. No investor will take this company seriously otherwise. As @theboyg noted, the next RNS is inevitably going to beg for more money, (perhaps so CEO can buy some Dom Pom to sip from his bubbling hot tub?) so we can expect that there is still quite a way down for the SP to go.

Buckle up and GLA.

AIM - LOSERS

----------

Tekcapital PLC, down 9.2% at 10.90p, 12-month range 6.00p-18.00p. The intellectual property investor reports a weaker net asset value3, as it notes "unrealized reductions" in the valuations of investee Lucyd and Belluscura. Its NAV per share falls 29% to USD0.27 at the end of 2023 from USD0.38 a year prior. Its portfolio valuation declines to USD41.1 million from USD54.9 million. Tekcapital adds: "In 2023 we had a productive year for long-term value creation, setting the foundation for meaningful growth in 2024 as evidenced by the successful flotation of Microsalt PLC post year end. Our portfolio companies achieved significant milestones, however due to unrealized reductions in the end of period quoted valuations of Lucyd and Belluscura, our profitability, net assets and net assets per share were commensurately negatively impacted." Belluscura is a respiratory medical device company. Lucyd is an eyewear firm.

This entire thing smells of fish…

They’re going to screw us over yet again because they need more cash. Waiting for the news to drop any day now.

This has got to be one of the most moribund tragedies of the AIM. Disgusting bunch of pathetic pussies on the BOD. (Not to mention Dodgy Bob ofc)

All super encouraging chum (and I deeply admire your sector knowledge-even if it exceeds your spelling and grammatical skills from time to time!)

However, the SP remains in the doldrums YEARS after I initially invested-after which it clearly very nearly went bust, but now appears likely to AT LEAST survive-but my Central London apartment purchase, based on my gains over a decade of patient investment, still look like a cloud dream!

This must be an “ open goal” acquisition for someone prepared to break up the assets, fire the largely useless BOD’s and pocket a very material gain.

To even us totally uninformed PI’s, it is glaringly obvious that this bunch of corrupt clowns who purport to be a board of directors (I wouldn’t even employ them singularly or collectively to run my 5 year old niece’s play coffee shop - they’d run off with her 50p profits!) will yet again be running out of money.

I hope that the recent technical rally in the SP isn’t a precursor to another deep discounted share sale - which will collapse the SP back down to low single figures.

Reading through the TEK BB and it quickly becomes (even more) evident that nobody has any faith in the CEO or indeed any of the board of BELL. It is career - and investor - suicide being involved with this bunch of sleeping slacks. But the board don’t care! As long as they can draw money monthly from this dumpster fire, they can kit out their Clive Christian kitchens with Jeff Koons Balloon Dogs and Crystal chandeliers.

Sadly it’s the investors who have been manipulated into thinking that this was a good investment, that are the ones to suffer. Perhaps we too should join the board of some sinking ship of the AIM backwaters and draw wages for sailing around doing sweet F.A. I’ve always wanted to go a river boat cruise - the added daily feeling of impending doom ought to make it much wilder journey than I could ever imagine….

Congratulations rucking plumb - but you haven’t “banked” your lovely 20% profit until you’ve sold them….

…highlighted by a total and ignominious failure by any / all NINE men on the board to make ANY effort to turn around the share price and communicate with shareholders. Too busy drinking warm milk in their slippers watching re-runs of the Lone Ranger I imagine.

The two evidently top-notch brains that were added to the board during the dodgy TMTA acquisition have also stayed silent. I assume that they deeply regret becoming involved in this poorly-run debacle. Perhaps if a woman had been appointed to the board, they would have shown some integrity and responsibility for shareholders.

There is more chance of a Lone Ranger galloping up on his horse to save this fiasco than there is of this collective bunch of numpties working together successfully to restore shareholder confidence and value.

Agree @theboyg - money is still being spent now - on wages for all the ‘top talent’ here - to start with !

Perhaps they will pay for the team - and board - to buy some morals which they clearly are missing….

…or drowning at 0p ? What’s your guess ?

Hi. In the TU dated 2nd April, it was mentioned that retrospective warranties for products would now be issued for products supplied to people pre-2023. This suggests to me that product flaws have been identified and that this has now been put in place to cover any further defects or issues with design / function....

Run by a bunch of imbeciles - no news and nobody willing to take responsibility for the total and complete FAILURE of this company (they clearly don't give a F about investors). Sadly it's the only company I've had the misfortune of investing in with nothing to look forward to - no break even in sight, no promising contracts, no innovative products which work...........I sincerely hope that this board puts any potential investors off making the mistake of investing.......
