To be fair to Sieveco the iOS update is real thing to the Podcast community... However... it shouldn't impact on revenues for the larger hosts or podcasters. It will affect the smaller podcasters. Fewer better listeners should generate higher revenues for Boom. There is an interesting YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHl95qk6Czs from Nadav, a former producer at the "YMH" (one of the largest podcasts) podcast. I've had a fairly big chunk here for a few months. My feelings are we should see a sizeable increase in the SP with or without a but out.
This just popped up on my instagram feed. Competition is good, shows the need for the solution.

Happy to enlighten Newdealz:
Audioboom employs two models for creator monetisation:
Cost Per Mille (CPM) - Payment per Played Advert: In this model, you are paid based on the number of times an advertisement is played (per thousand listens, typically). Advertisers pay a fixed rate for every thousand impressions (listens) of their advert. This model is prevalent when your podcast has a significant number of listeners, as the revenue is based on the sheer volume of plays.
Affiliate Marketing - Payment based on Unique Code Usage: In this model, you are paid when listeners use your unique code or link to visit the advertiser's website or make a purchase. This payment can either be a fixed amount per action or a percentage of sales generated through your code. This model often requires more active engagement from your audience, as they need to take the specific action of using your code or link for you to earn revenue.
Podcast with large subscriber numbers benefit from the former and get paid for overall volume of adverts paid, those podcast with smaller subscriptions mainly benefit from affiliate advertising (perhaps with a code) and get paid for "click throughs" using a unique code.
With Audioboom It's also possible to combine these models. For instance, you can have some adverts that pay per play and others that pay per use of a unique code. This diversified approach can maximises creators revenue potential.
Audioboom are one of the few "hosts" with credibility in this arena.
Hey Newdealz... I don't think you understand how many listeners and how engaging advertisers find Podcasts. As an advertiser you can target a specific advert at a very precise demographic. These individual podcasts literally have 10s of millions of downloads every week. Each with a paid for advert every 15-30 minutes. It's such a scalable business.... now back to 1970, pearl and dean and your local picture house with negative energy and foolish opinions.

10. Potential Impact on Stakeholders: The statement does not discuss how the change in the accounting date and the subsequent requirements for additional reporting might impact the company’s stakeholders, including investors, employees, and regulatory bodies. Providing this information could help in understanding the broader implications of the situation.
Let me pick no fewer than 10 "TEN" factual (not opinion) holes in this statement Shamil:
1. Ambiguity in the Deadline: The statement highlights ambiguity regarding the publication deadline for the accounts, acknowledging that if they are treated as interim accounts, a specific rule applies. However, it does not clarify what the deadline would be if the accounts are not treated as interim accounts or if there are other applicable rules for this scenario. This leaves room for uncertainty and potential non-compliance.
2. Misinterpretation of the Accounting Period: The statement mentions that Upland has extended its accounting period to 18 months, ending on 31 Dec 2023. However, the initial period was stated as ending on 30 June 2023, which is a 12-month period. The extended period should end on 31 Dec 2024 if it is indeed an 18-month extension. This discrepancy needs clarification.
3. Rule 9.6.1 Applicability: The statement asserts that rule 9.6.1 applies to Upland due to the extension of the accounting period to more than 14 months. While this seems straightforward, it would be prudent to ensure that all conditions of rule 9.6.1 are met and that no other rules or exceptions apply.
4. Clarification on Rule 9.6.2: The statement concludes that, according to both limbs of rule 9.6.2, the second interim report needs to be prepared as at 30 June 2023. However, it does not provide the rationale behind this conclusion or explain how each limb of the rule leads to this result. A more detailed explanation would enhance understanding and ensure accuracy.
5. Lack of Information on Consequences: The statement does not discuss the potential consequences or implications of not adhering to the rules mentioned. Providing this information could help emphasize the importance of compliance and assist in understanding the gravity of the situation.
6. No Mention of Responsible Parties: The statement does not specify which individuals or departments within Upland are responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules and for preparing and publishing the necessary reports. Identifying these parties would help in assigning accountability.
7. Verification of Rules: The statement references specific rules but does not provide information on whether these rules are the most current or if any amendments have been made since their issuance. Ensuring that the referenced rules are up-to-date is crucial for compliance.
8. No Guidance on How to Treat the Accounts: While the statement addresses the ambiguity in how the accounts should be treated (as interim accounts or otherwise), it does not provide guidance or suggestions on resolving this ambiguity or determining the most appropriate treatment.
9. No Reference to External Advice: In situations of ambiguity and potential complexity in financial reporting, it is often advisable to seek external legal or financial advice. The statement does not mention if Upland has sought or plans to seek such advice to ensure complianc

As far as what may happen next there are obviously a few scenarios to chew on. It may be that because the market was not big on the offer idea the downside from the current 4.5p level is limited to where the stock was prior to it: 3p. However, given the burnt finger factor, one might suspect an initial move lower to the 2-3p zone, and then things settle down. As I said in the Bulletin Board Heroes video, there may be an opportunity to take advantage of any brief bear trap below 2p. Hopefully that is the limit to the downside.
I don't disagree with any that Skippy. All I'm saying is...that managing the risks with the facts (we the retail investors know) after a couple of cracking RNS announcements on the 14th and 31st of August the price has dropped almost 25%. In the run up to a drill and and after they've invested in a lovely big expensive machine. My spider sense says a few million will be raised at around 5-6p.
Real world example from 2022.
5th December 2022...DM says..."Helium One holds prospecting licences totalling 2,966km2 across the Tanzanian Helium Fairway. Following a successful exploration campaign at Tai, the work we have commenced now will allow us to fast-track the development of our portfolio of projects and become a strategic player in resolving a supply-constrained helium market."
Even with this positive outlook the share price drops over the next week from 8.45 to around 5.9...

In simpler terms, the company has developed a program called the MDK mRNA, which they've tested on breast and liver cancer cells in laboratory conditions (in vitro). Their aim was to see if the program could slow the growth and spread (or migration) of these cancer cells, which could be an early indicator of whether it might prevent the spread of cancer in the body (metastasis).
The results of these laboratory tests were very positive, showing a significant decrease in both the growth and the spread of the cancer cells. However, it's important to note that these are still early findings and they've only been observed in a controlled lab environment, not in actual patients (clinical trials).
If these effects can be reproduced in clinical trials, the MDK mRNA Program could potentially be the first of its kind in cancer medicine, representing a significant breakthrough.
The company is planning to share these promising initial results at a major upcoming cancer conference.
Just arrived in Dubrovnik from Leeds Bradford airport.
