I must admit I have been doing a lot of 'beer mat' maths myself and cant make it work, if you look at a leisure site for example say £1.50 a bottle, 30p is vat, suggest buy @ 50p that leaves 70p profit, from margin point of view that's high however, those machines must cost best part of £2,000 each ? (again bit of a guess), so nearly 3000 drinks just to cover machine cost, plus cost of person to fill the machine, (van etc) collect and count the money - and hope that no one vandalises machines, there must be a service engineer required, snack machines must be a worse formula as low margins and perishable goods, Selecta use this model and lost millions, maybe and hopefully Snacktime will choose sites very carefully

I am inclined to agree, I bought in on this on advice from an associate, really should have done my own homework and understood this better - I notice all the big wins are NHS trusts, how is this equipment funded? It may explain the constraints on working capital as noted by Jimbo -

Positive news that shares are being re-listed tomorrow, will be interesting to see reaction. I am not sure how to read into the other gems hidden in there, merging the two vending divisions, I thought that they were already as one, or is that another name change to confuse the customer base

More questions than answers and appearing very very disjointed - someone must be steering this ship, is it Russia or the UK?

Still no detail of stock being re-listed - No news of CEO when Mr Stone departs Silence is deafening

I'll second that Pythagoras - Cooks got a pretty accurate strike rate, so further elaboration would be good.

As an unseasoned investor, can someone explain to me what "dis-apply pre-emption rights" means? Is this a standard thing? Is it a good sign moving forward? Very little comment on the big players leaving the company, and the ones that were here were deleted - time will tell but i'm not blessed with patience

Anyone know when we can expect a re-listing, certainly someone in the company is doing a great job at keeping the profile high in the industry press, which tells me they are confident/optimistic? I notice other large companies -Selecta, have been acquired, maybe there is an appetite out there for the vending industry

Is there a certain period that they have to file the accounts by? Curious as still considering cutting my losses. I understand the London Manager has 'gone', as have 25% of the sales force, If the cuts are for efficiency or performance, I don't know, but certainly the numbers on the coal face have been cut considerably, while the higher tiers management grow.

Thanks Boyzone - lets see what the next couple of weeks bring, I too only bought in on advice from an ex team member, they feel things will get worse before they get better - fingers crossed accounts are filed soon

It would be good for someone informed to confirm the true current status, many rumours I wouldn't dare to share Boyzone he/SHE obviously current employee with the in-crowd Clueless fat lad obviously ex employee with axe to grind Cookaburrow, amazingly well informed and only got one prediction wrong As a small investor, I can't bail now even if I want to , but when this is relisted, do I count my losses or wait for the boom? Time will tell KNIGEL K seems one of the few impartial posters
