The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
4x market cap. What a whopper, and frankly it’s come from one of the smaller / less high profile channels . Imagine if DHL / Bosch now suddenly want a big piece .
In short - the DFS doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know . It is all now hinges on funding and MDA . I really didn’t want it to be released - much rather ride the wave of Takeover / deal speculation that fuels AIM. Hey ho - today’s movement not unexpected.
NPV is basically accounting for the time value of money - so showing future revenues in what they are worth today . (Because you commit the capex now) in order to work this out you have to assume a discount rate (10% used). Standard accounting stuff
:-)
After holding for 6 long years, and a steady (bumpy) road upwards - it mostly comes down to what happens this week. I am hoping for the MDA/FS/Funding trifecta. Fingers crossed and good luck to all holders, especially the handful of long term MKAers. You know who you are.
MDA advanced stages - it was a really bullish update 4 months ago to now go quiet…. Fingers crossed with get the FS / MDA and financing all in one
This was the detailed update - to be completed “up to 3 months fr 7 June”.

Lewis - to clarify , a BFS comes after the DFS - in essence it is a level of detail at which you can borrow against the project . We were supposed to be getting a BFS - although the company started taking about a DFS in later coms.
All very true - but will the tribes partner with Webis if there is a land grab and the big boys throw huge amounts of money at them. you need a tribal partner under the California Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Act - proposals (love that name)/
All a little confusing - would be good to get some clarify from the company.
Q) - Will any of the proposals be beneficial to Webis & if they are will they be voted through.
it appears that the second act on the ballot (California Solutions to Homelessness and Mental Health Act) requires the major operators to partner with a tribe - unsure if this includes racetrack operators - i don't think so. (we would clearly be allowed to offer sportsbetting on-track - not sure if online). This model has worked in other states with casnio operators - they can have several "skins" under their license - with different revenue share models. Tribes can also launch their own sites - i am conflicted as to if or how beneficial this option will be to WEB.
the first bill only allows sportsbetting on tribal casino land or at the racetrack (clearly of benefit to Webis)
I think this will hinge on the method of market entry - interesting article here as well.

Also - clearly a large fundraise needed . If they use “working capital “ as an excuse I may explode .
Awful performance over the laser 6 years . My worst share. Back to sub 1p old money we go. Why o why o why did I not bail in January.
This was touted as a great buy at 10p, wish I hadn't bothered now... Guess it's one for the long haul.
It it totally legal but unfortunately a newly formed company who are going to try and sell some units . One man band operation, basically an affiliate. Total ****e.
We need a takeover- time to get one of the many big boys we deal with RBVC etc to take an interest. I really thought CropX would look to secure the tech via Bosch .
Moderate units order. At least it is more Saas revenue and exposure. Keep em coming .
Fingers crossed
The issue is that pilot programs are free stock - so we just don’t have the revenue . Of course these big companies will take free tech - who wouldn’t . Great door openers but like the shop giving away free sweets with a queue out of the door - it doesn’t pay the bills.
