Decent jump up on just a single small trade.. what's that all about?

I'm happy with the fundamentals but agree I wouldn't like to be holding from 5 years ago. It's only 2 years ago that they introduced the progressive dividend and although this years is still deferred it hasn't been cancelled yet. Nice to see an AIM company that makes a profit and pays a dividend... I've no problem soaking up the shares at this level.

Great little company with fantastic products.. but somebody needs to grab them by the scruff of the neck and thrust them in front of the World Health Org, Governments and major utilities.

On the contrary, thanks to the UK Government this company is well positioned to continue prospering.

It's a really great update. I just wish they would add some trumpets and party poppers with it.

Given they have so much Government work on the books and they are not currently paying a dividend, you would think that their first port of call for any funding would be the Government CLBILS and/or Corporate Financing Facility.

I'm sure they would sell any or all of the brands given the right price.. I've heard Don talk previously about our tiny mcap (£10m at the time) and the potential for a brand sale 5 x that valuation. We have sales lines into the UK major supermarkets and in Duty Free outlets and even Wetherspoons.. I just think we need to be a little more agile with our range of offerings.. and hopefully we can do that going forwards.. Mardi Gras? We just need to be there at the right time with the right product when one of the big players decides they need to have xxx in their range. In the meantime I'm just happy that they don't ever ask shareholders for more cash like most other Aim companies do.

Happy with the results considering what's going on all around us.

Revenue up, profit up, money in the bank and still that 20 - 50m brand sale possibility.

If you think Oil has a future then this share is currently way less than half-price.

Think you might regret that move LUFC.. 888 just back in the FTSE250, trading ahead, paying dividend and plenty of cash.

Looks like a pretty and sensible decent update.. surprised there hasn't been more buying this morning.

Chance to top-up Mr_Big!

Looks too cheap to me. No existing major liabilities so there should be plenty of funding options, possibly even from one of the OEM deals they have struck over the last year. (Fibrehome wouldn't want Ethernity to be struggling). Hopefully everything that is just around the corner turns up.

I've always been happy to receive the dividend over the past few years, same again in October hopefully.

But they halved the dividend in January and then cancelled it altogether in May... so we will probably have to wait until next year for a proper recovery even if the oil price doubles.

Depends what your 10k is worth on paper today...

If you invested with the IPO at 150+ or even in February last year at 70-80 then you're in a bad place... There's already been a kind of 'administration' which is why the share price is where it is.. and if you bought in recently, then ask yourself why? And if the answer is 'I dunno' then probaby best cash out. If you want to stay invested then go back 18 months and check the RNS history of what happened.

I'm reasonably happy to top-up anywhere under 2p for this share.

You mean good to see them online?
I was pleased to see the in-store cases of RedLeg & Coke had been ravaged and almost picked clean in my local big Morrisons.

Erm, go to the ESL website and read the AGM notification to shareholders? There are more details on each resolution there.

Resolutions are being proposed at the AGM:(i) for the re-appointment of all of our directors as required by our articles of association and in line with best practice(ii) to give the board authority to issue shares;(iii) to give the board authority to disapply pre-emption rights (in limited circumstances); (iv) to authorise the Company to repurchase its own shares (in limited circumstances); and (v) to authorize the Company to make political donations.

The dividend was paid out on Friday.. maybe some auto-re-investing? The lock downs must also have been good for them.
