Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
At last an educated post thank you Olliebee I couldn’t agree more with your observations
Worth reading the chairman's statement from December
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2018
The first half of this financial year has been focused on securing additional investment and prudently conserving cash to sustain the business by reducing marketing and our stock levels. In spite of this, we have maintained high brand awareness, grown our social media following, and continue to deliver market-leading customer satisfaction, demonstrating the resilience and strength of our brand.
We are delighted with the scale and quality of funding secured with support from Directors and institutional investors, further strategic investment from our long-term partner HT Media and a transformational investment from Future Lifestyle Fashions Limited (FLFL)
With over 400 retail fashion stores across India, FLFL will be a game-changing partner for Koovs with synergies across the value chain from manufacturing and distribution, to marketing and market reach. This new strategic partnership and investment will bring enormous benefits to our customers and partners as well as significant value for all shareholders.
This not only puts Koovs back on track but adds a further dimension to the opportunities available to Koovs in the future, and I am therefore extremely excited about the Group's growth prospects for the years ahead.
Once confirmed (subject to regulatory approval), the additional subscription by FLFL will mean that 45% of investors in Koovs will be based in Asia, showing the breadth of support and confidence in the Group here and in its home market.
The focus going forward is to continue to build the brand through marketing, making Koovs the favourite fashion destination for India's twenty-somethings. There is a clear opportunity to capitalise on the platform we have built to date to unlock superior shareholder value over the coming years, and we have been delighted with the reaction from investors who share our vision.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our colleagues in the UK and India for their continuing hard work, dedication and enthusiasm.

Real money is made in investing for the future not worrying about short term market movements.
Many people on this board and others squabble at different levels of any company developments and it will be interesting to see the comments when Koovs is trading at 20p or 30p
Two large trades of 6 million shares just gone through @5.7p
Two on the bid now the tide turns very quickly it’s always better to buy on a quite day when you can and not have to chase when the market rises
Next week Koovs to announce final funding and the price will jump. The market have forgotten Koovs but watch how quickly everyone falls in love again.
Rising fast
koovs is by no means unique in the story of a growth company and as they are now fully funded with massive increasing social media exposure one simple fact of investing holds true and that is. If they are not going bust they are going up.
For those that missed it over 24 million views now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlGNmrevm1o
The buyers are back and this will quickly return to the placing price.
It’s the click through conversion rate that is the interesting factor. And now at over 13 million slightly more than a few is to be considered good news. The social media activity is picking up a pace and is a very powerful tool. It’s incredible how quickly the tide of disappointment turns just watch
Now 12,881,155 that’s impressive by anyone’s standard and must translate to page views and sales even if you apply 2% success rate.
