Agreed. With H1 revenues already at £506,000 without including e commerce, Opti US and Opti Asia, I think break even H1 2027 is a serious possibility

Disregarding Sweetbiotix for a moment, would current and ex shareholders of optibiotix consider break even a success in the short term 12-18 months?

Disregarding any potential huge deals regarding Sweetbiotix, do you think Optibiotix is viable on the rest of its business eg Amazon, Opti US, Opti Asia?

I understand the frustration as a long term shareholder. I do however agree that from a neutral point of view this share could well be a 7 or 8 bagger from its current position. Disregarding Sweetbiotix for a moment, even a significant uptick in sales in H2 2025 from H2 2024 should be enough to start a positive trajectory. Normally a trading update late Feb or early March so we will see.

Yes

Why launch this now when things are starting to turn a corner? An attempt to seize power or influence when the hard yards have been done perhaps.

Total Wealth- Thsnks for that. But given they are well over time presumably at this point it would make sense for them to hang on for another 6-12 months, given that we now have some factual announcements on Sales rather than the usual Jam tomorrow stuff.

Why would Yorkshire Seedcorn sell now?, It makes no financial sense.

You may be right mol however if sales in Q1 of 2025 has already surpassed sales in H1 of 2024 then something is going right. Admittedly from a low starting base.

Best RNS for a while. This share will be over 50p within 18 months.

Sorry H1 2023

Ticked me up? 5% is even easier to achieve. Can anyone suggest a sensible alternative? Everything should be in our favour yet sales in H1 2024 were lower than H2 2024. SOH has signed 10s if not 100s of deals that generally produce revenue of £17.50

I think this has reached the point where we need an EGM. Total voting shares are 97,943,161. An EGM requires shareholders holding at least 10% of the company between them to agree on the necessity. Therefore we would need shareholders holding 9,794,316 shares in order to call one. I m not sure how many shares are held by interested posters on this board but I have never seen a company with such promise marketed so terribly. . We have products that safely reduce blood pressure, surely its harder not to sell these than sell them.

How do the activist investors go about removing SOH? Do they need 50% of the company?

From what I can gather Opti really needs a big win with Coca Cola, Kelloggs etc it is unlikely to be able to hit profit with online sales alone?

The issue here isn't a lack of confidence as such. It is more frustration that this hasn't taken off yet. We are now talking over 10 years which is long term by anyone's standards. Selling the shares is impractical when the averages purchase price is so high. The majority worry seems to be SOHs complete lack of marketing skills. We have the science, the products taste good so where are the sales? If you know any good marketers let us know. Short of chucking a half page add in the Times and Telegraph I m not sure how one goes about marketing Opti effectively

Aquae

I would say you tend to be the most cautiously optimistic of the long term holders on this board. What say you to 2023 revenues and future hopes?

Does your daughter fancy a job at Opti?

Do shareholders have any options open to them, regarding forcing change?

Broadly agree. Hence my tongue in cheek post about purchasing 1000 pounds worth to get us up the amazon rating. Nobody has heard of Optibiotix aside from the shareholders. Why? It is an excellent product by most accounts. I sure there are marketing experts out there who could market this properly. Do any Doctors know about it? Surely with amazon, tik tok India and Holland and Barrett some traction should take hold.

We have got to get the share price up somehow😀

I liked the logical extension of buying their own products on amazon as well.

Regarding the shadows opti has several great scienfically reviewed products yet barely anybody has heard of us. Would it not make sense too get some form of celebrity endorsement. Perhaps sponsor a well known YouTubers channel for one episode. Some of these guys can get several hundred thousand views per podcast.

If the right celeb was approached I.e one that fits Optis target market then that could make quite a difference in the bottom line. Say said Celeb gets 300,000 views on podcast if even 1% of the viewers go and try Optibiotix that's 3000 people who might spend £20 a piece. There's £60,000. If 1/3 of those buy on a recurring basis that might be £10 a month so 1000*10*12 =£120,000 a year. Added to your 60 grand gives £180,000. Then as people continue watching the podcast more clients would roll in. Share price improves, Opti gets more exposure in investor publications possibly interest from institutional investors.
