The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Small Trades
I have been recording the Trade Data for Chill Brands since they changed their name to Chill Brands Plc.
I have number of Trades and volume, so I know the average size of a “Normal” Trade.
Yesterday there were 54 Trades and average size of a Trade was below normal at 5,453
Of the 54 Trades, 40 of these Trades were for less than £50 and of these 40 Trades 30 were for less than £10.
Today there were 101 (although LSE said 103) Trades and average size of a Trade was below normal at 12,973
Of the 101 Trades, 55 of these Trades were for less than £50 and of these 55 Trades 43 were for less than £10.

AGM Result
I attended this morning’s AGM, and all Resolutions were passed unanimously (no votes against or withheld)
Had a good chat with Nick, Eric & Jill.
Discussed various topics (shops, products, manufacturing & premises)
Spoke to all the staff on site and had a tour of the site including observing an order for a customer being fulfilled.
Spoke to our Finance Team.
Observed our stock and customer orders about to be despatched.
When you attend AGM’s (IMO) you can get a better understanding of the Company you are invested in. You can observe things that are not communicated in RNS’s and most importantly when you talk to the staff you really get to know more about the Business.
Looking forward to the coming year.

PS No need to thank me as I know where you want to put your profits. Their PRN (not an RNS was issued at 7am this morning)
Hello Eddie563
Posts last 30 days 211 (desperate) BOIL 30 QBT 180
You call out every Poster, but you fail to call out yourself! (Hypocrite)
Now a friend (not Ltdknowledge) said you were up to your old tricks and saying that I was talking to FG and buying (only one correct)
We both know that no matter what is Posted on these B.B. has no effect on the share price.
I did request Jambone to refrain from Posting but you obviously like sparring, but it benefits neither of you.
Addisionshare Posts are too hard to read due to being one long paragraph.
Now somethings to think about:
There was an RNS (or a PRN) a while ago that said they knew of no reason as to why the share price rose. (15th May 2020) but there was a reason if you were up-to-speed. (There was a little issue with Forcrowd, who thought they could pull a fast one and what they over looked was that they could not do what they wanted if the share-price was below the nominal value of £0.0025p
Now if you had monitored the share-price you would have seen (if I recall correctly) that it never moved above £0.0034p for MONTHS. But FG / Nomad / Broker had to issue an RNS to “prevent” the share-price going NORTH.
So fast-forward to September 2023 and what do we have, on first appearance we have a weak share-price but is it?
If you fully understand how the *astrds in the CITY work, then you will know that AIM is for their benefit and not ordinary shareholders.
Prediction: If you have read everything on the Intellectual Patent Office you may conclude that our first Patent will not succeed (read all the documents and decide for yourself) but the second one will rectify that (trust me)
AIM is an unfair Market; the Market Makers can hold a share-price in a narrow band and if there are more buyers or sellers then it will move. (recently our volume has been low about the 5 million mark for past 6 weeks or so) when our volume gets up to 20 million then you may see some increase in our share-price.
We are being deliberately held back to enable --------- (you have to fill in the blanks)

Ironic
Yes, it is Not2Sure that I have a “Strong Sell” which does not align with wishing you success.
But that’s because ComTruise does not own any shares in the other Company but feels the need to Post “and save us” from making our own Investing Decisions.
I will desist when he departs, chances of him desisting I think are very low.
Your B.B. will have my presence for the next 20 months or until he is like Little Putin (History)
RKB
Good Morning Hs18065
No, it is not how the world should be.
ComTruise has been Trolling for 20 months so I expect I will be here till about May 2025 long after the BoD’s options have expired.
We all know that B.B. make no difference to the price of a share, its down to supply & demand.
Anyone doing their Research, makes their own decisions, but ComTruise wants to save investors from investing in a particular share.
I will continue to Tweet & Post until ComTruise sees sense.
I wish you and your fellow investors wherever you are invested success.
RKB
Atlantic Lithium
ComTruise has by default invited me to your Bulletin Board (as he Trolls a share that I am invested in, and he has said he is not and never has been a shareholder in the Company that I am invested in)
ComTruise appears to want to warn potential shareholders, so I think it is only fair that I do likewise with Atlantic Lithium. (I believe you have in the recent past had some issues with a particular Company wanting to “Short” your shares, so I will contact them if ComTruise does not desist)
Looking at your BoD and their shareholdings, I think some of your Directors are not aligned with Ordinary Shareholders.
Kieran Daly owns no Shares. Does he have no confidence in your Company?
Keith Muller owns no Shares. Does he have no confidence in your Company?
Christelle van der Merwe owns no Shares. Does she have no confidence in your Company?
There is a recent shareholder list on your website dated 10 July 2023 so the information is only two months old.
Now Keith Muller, your Chief Operating Officer, was appointed in November 2022, so it appears that he has little confidence with putting some of his own cash into your Company. Why?
I note that Keith Muller COO was given 2 million Options @ 60p and another 2 million @ 70p. If he thinks they will be exercised by November 2024, why has he not purchased some shares at the current price of £0.20p? Does he have little or no confidence in Atlantic Lithium?
I do know that Keith Muller was appointed as CEO in May 2023 but still he does not have any shares, does he not think that the Company is worth putting some of his personal wealth in along with Ordinary Shareholders?
We were informed in June 2023 that Patrick Brindle was appointed to the BoD and he has 108,000 shares (currently worth about £21,600) so it is pleasing to know someone has a little confidence to have 0.02% of the current shares in issue)
I do hope I will have no need to visit you B.B. again soon, but that all depends on ComTruise.
RKB
PS ComTruise you may have managed to have my Post removed over there, but now its here and on Twitter.
I am a cheerleader for Voyager Life
Yes, I am a cheerleader for Voyager Life because I am a shareholder.
As you have disclosed that you are not a shareholder and never have been, then you will have no issue when I begin Posting on your other shares.
I used to perform Audits for my employer between 1997 – 2007 when I left to become an Independent Financial Advisor.
You can be “selective” on what you pick-out our Accounts but what you fail to realise is that Auditors have a duty to present the Accounts under the current Rules & Regulations and with your “selective” comments, you have not understood that the Auditors look at the expected revenue over the following 12 months, and if you had actually read (in detail) then you would have understood that our revenue is increasing (this will be evidenced in our Interims)
If you had researched the listed CBD Companies over the past three or four years and looked at their Revenue and their Marketing Expenditure, you could have concentrated on “saving” their shareholders, rather than ours.
Did you look at Goodbody Life? Why not? Well they tried a fast one on us but Nick did not conclude the purchase because there were issues to the Title to the Land (property)
RKB
PS I look forward to seeing you over at Atlantic Lithium & Landore, its your choice.
Annual Results
Our Annual Results were published today and for a Company of our size I am impressed. Nick, Eric & Jill are running a tight ship with a firm hand on costs.
Other CBD Companies have massive Marketing Budgets but don’t come anywhere near our Revenue. If you take time to read our Annual Results, you may conclude (like I have) that Voyager Life is going to become a name that is synonymous with high quality CBD & Hemp products.
Revenue of £284,000
Cash of £990k as at 31 March 2023
Total assets of £1.9 million
Four revenue lines (online, own stores, third party stores, private label & white label)
Two brands (Voyager and Ascend Skincare)
72 formulated products (one of the broadest CBD ranges in the UK) and, in its own stores, over 400 SKUs (stock-keeping units)
We have three shops, St Andrews, Edinburgh & Dundee and they generated about £15,000 each month over the past year.
RKB
PS ComTruise is a Troll who never understood why he invested under the EIS scheme. There was 30% Tax Relief and he had to pay it back (because he sold)
LSE obviously do not like the word “re hear sed” so how about “leading questions” with prepared answers.
RKB
i watched the utube late last night because i wanted to concentrate on everything that our ceo callum sommerton & steve deacon were saying.
this was steve’s first podcast, and, in my opinion, it was refreshing to listen an interviewer who has not rehe****d & rehe****d their questions so that the whole interview just seems like a pr exercise.
there was the thread throughout the whole interview: vapes.
chill brands group plc are concentrating on the nicotine free vaping market in the usa & the uk but are also looking at europe & the middle east. there was even talk of egypt & other countries.
i think it was significant that “biztech academy’s” first podcast was with chill brands, just must be patient and you will see why i have made this statement.
i look forward to the next podcast from biztech.

“Taste great & keep their flavour.
Cam was a great salesman too!
Will definitely be recommending to my friends who vape. ☺️ “ 5 Stars.
“First of all the delivery and packing was great - ordered late in the evening and arrived within 36hours on a Saturday morning. The Vapes themselves are very smooth, all the flavours are great tasting - with friends commenting on how much better they taste and 'feel' than the other brands on the market today.” 5 Stars.
“Initial thoughts were that the vapes are nicely priced, very well designed packaged and supplied with great service including free next day delivery to my UK address.
Flavours are so crisp and fresh tasting.
I was most surprised by the watermelon one as I don't like real watermelon but the vape is something else, I highly recommend it.
Blue Razz, Blueberry and Lemon give a pleasant icy cold throat feeling which adds to the experience.
Gave them a trial run at the bar over the weekend and all the folk who tried them thought they tasted great.” 5 Stars.
“Taste of these vapes is far better than any i’ve tried before. Highly recommended!” 5 Stars.
“These vapes are amazing arrived very quickly ordered them on Saturday pm arrived Monday am. Love them all but my favourite is Watermelon such great flavours.” 5 Stars.
“I recently tried out these vapes and I'm thoroughly impressed! The flavors are incredibly rich and authentic, making each puff a delightful experience. The sleek design and ergonomic feel make them comfortable to hold, and the vapour production is top-notch. My favourite would have to be watermelon. These vapes provide a satisfying and smooth hit every time, even better that there is zero nicotine content. I'm enjoying the variety of flavors and will look at reordering soon (delivery was very quick too). Highly recommended.” 5 Stars
“The best tasting vapes out there, incredibly surprised that without any nicotine these could be this good, these will revolutionise the vaping market and help people quit nicotine for good! So impressed.” 5 Stars.

Review Feedback on Vapes
”I bought the variety pack so I could try all the flavours, they are all really good and the draw/vape is excellent. Well packaged and super fast delivery. I think the Blueberry might be my favourite, or maybe the watermelon!” 5 Stars.
“Wanted to try nicotine free to get off elf bars. These are so good and the flavours are really strong. I'll definitely be picking up more of these especially the watermelon.” 5 Stars.
“Absolute game changer, can’t believe this has no nicotine in as the flavours are unbelievable, tried other nicotine free products but chill blows them out of the water, really quick delivery 🚚 not had nicotine for nearly a week.” 5 Stars.
“Superb new product from Chill Zero, really good flavours with Lemon being my favourite. Delivery super fast as well. Well done Chill.” 5 Stars.
“Amazing taste to these and seem to last so much longer than other vapes, highly recommended.” 5 Stars.
“Delivery was quick, ordered late Thursday evening and delivered Saturday morning. My favourite flavour is the lemon great that it has no nicotine. Would recommend.” 5 Stars.
“I am an ex-smoker and I have spent a lot of time drifting from vape brand to vape brand. CHILLZER0 has truly nailed the flavouring of their vapes. Super tasty but also, I don't miss anything from the vapes that do include nicotine in them. These vapes give me everything I need from a vape and, in theory, are healthier than the nicotine vapes that exist in the market already. I have given some to friends and family and they are also all totally convinced by them too. I am very satisfied. Good job CHILL!” 5 Stars.

Little Acorns
Mighty Oaks grow from little acorns.
Sometimes small and modest things can become very large and impressive things with time.
If Chill Brands were not currently listed on the Main Market of LSE and put forward a business plan today, what would the IPO Document say?
No Debt
Current shares on IPO 287,615,305
Loan Note Shares to be issued with Prospectus 145,833,500
Open Offer Shares to be issued with Prospectus 8,841,725
Inventories as at 31/03/23 £464,028
Trade & other Receivables as at 31/03/23 £447,367
Ownership of Chill.com domain name valued at £1,209,424
Cash in Bank as at 31/03/23 £3,767,426
We are not going for an IPO, we are listed on the Main Market and we have just launched our nicotine free vapes with 1500 & 3000 puffs. A classy product that is being rolled out in the UK and now availed on our website.
https://chill.com/
Our Domain Website is a Market Place for other products which are not only sold in the UK but also the USA.
Our current Market Capt. is about £14 million.
In my opinion our Market Capt. will grow into a Mighty Oak and will be head and shoulders above our peer group.

Good morning Villagepidgeon
I believe that it is the only way to ensure that our Vape devices are not inadvertently purchased by under-age children (that the Vape website is only for Businesses to order our Vape Products)
When “Vapers” realise that they can get either 1500 or 3000 puffs, it will not be long before we are a household name in the Vaping Community.
The Trolls are (were) only here to distract weak holders as they know that Chill Brands have a winning Vape Device.
RKB
Vape Retail
When our Vapes are released they will be:
Cherry 1500 & 3000
Watermelon 1500 & 3000
Lemon 1500 & 3000
Blueberry 1500 & 3000
Blue Razz 1500 & 3000
The Vape Retail website is not for ordinary customers, it is for Shops. You must have a Business to Register for access to purchase Vapes.
RKB
PS The presentation of the Website is impressive.
From 2023 Accounts
We have already taken strides towards making a success of our newly launched nicotine-free vapour products and anticipate that sales of this range will rapidly become the Group’s primary source of revenue. When combined with the magnetism of our brand, we expect these products to gain traction in the market through multiple points of distribution in the UK, US and beyond.
In the US our dedicated sales agents have been actively introducing our vapour products to a wide range of potential stockists and we look forward to sharing further updates on sales to retail stores and distributors in the near future. The feedback we have received both from early adopters and market research has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing our belief in the potential success of our products. Few competitors have adjusted their focus to nicotinefree devices and there remains a niche available for us to occupy as a leading brand within this category.
As announced in May 2023, the Company has also entered into an agreement with The Vaping Group to act as its sales and distribution agent in the UK. We continue to draw on the expansive network and extensive industry expertise of our new partners with whom we are executing a comprehensive go-to-market strategy that is intended to result in sales of Chill Zero vapour products to large retailers, category-specific chains, and independent outlets across the country. From these foundations we expect further growth into the burgeoning European and Middle Eastern markets.

StockBox Interview
Recently Voyager Life have teamed up with StockBox for engaging with Shareholders and potential customers of our Products & Services.
Voyager Life has various aspects to their Business:
Manufacture CBD & Plant-based products
Have two of our Own Brands: Voyager & Ascend Skincare
Voyager is more about Health & Wellness
Ascend Skincare aimed more at the Beauty Market.
Voyager also have three shops: Edinburgh, St Andrews & Dundee.
Voyager sell to other people’s Stores also other people’s on-line Stores & places like Amazon, Ebay etc.
The Unique selling point of Voyager Life is that they manufacture all their own products. (if you watch the interview you will discover the manufacturing cost of one our products)
The fastest part of Voyager’s Business is actuality making products for other people.
We will find out in a few weeks what our Revenue for our Year-end 31/03/23 which the recent presentation on our Website indicates £307,000. https://voyagerlife.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Voyager-investor-presentation-July-2023-compressed.pdf
There are five contracts that have the potential for just one to exceed the revenue of last year (£300K +) and if you listen to the full StockBox interview it appears that one of these contracts could be imminent. Also in the PDF file above, it says on page 12 that in the 3rd quarter of 2023 (Oct -Dec 2023) “Manufacturing contracts agreed and orders placed”.
In my opinion, it will not be long before Voyager Life is generating revenue of £500K +

Not IFA Advice
Part 5
I like the genuine Posters on here, get irritated by the Trolls and that is why I limit my Posting.
I have often thought of going over 3% but I keep stopping myself because:
Before the Bond Conversion a 3% Holding was about 32,069,413
Let’s assume that within 4 SIPP’s and 4 ISA’s a family (not necessary mine) has 33 million shares (because they work in concert all their shares are deemed to be one shareholding)
So, 33 million shares would require a TR1 and it would say 3.09% but as our AIM Rule 26 only has 1 decimal point it would say 3.1%
Then after the Bond conversion 33 million shares would require a new TR1 and it would say 2.85% technically 2.8% to one decimal point.
So if a family had not sold but they were less 3% the Trolls would say Mr XYZ has sold out or is selling now and our Bulletin Board would be filled with drivel, like it was yesterday.
RKB
PS Eddie563 can you work out why I cashed in Premium Bonds in February?
To all the Trolls, do as John Sweeney says to Little Putin at the end of his Tweets.
Not IFA Advice
Part 4
When I was an IFA, I used to advise clients to put some money in Premium Bonds. No other IFA’s would recommend Premium Bonds as the IFA would not get any commission.
The reason why I advised Premium Bonds was because you could get access to your money in about 10 days, but it prevented clients accessing the money for holidays or other stuff, they had to wait, and most were happy with their small prizes.
Many years ago, the odds of winning a Premium Bond Prize were 24,000 to 1. I had an endowment mortgage and the endowment matured in 2007 and as most will know that was the year Northern Rock went bust.
The Endowment paid out £57,000 less than it should have but I had already switched to a Repayment Mortgage and the Fix still had one year to go. So, I decided to see if the odds were correct.
I put the money in on the December and your Bonds do not get entered to the prize draw till February and that month we won £50 (that was the minimum prize then I beleive) We won every month except one month but a couple of months we won two prizes. On the 12 month we won £500. So, we were very lucky and the odds were actually better than 24,000 to 1.
Over the years my family have invested in Premium Bonds, until Feb this year when the four of us cashed in most of our Bonds and put the money in to our SIPPS and ISA’s.
Then in April this year we had our new ISA allowance to utilize times four.
So only my family knows what shares we bought with our SIPP’s & ISA’s but I am sure you can work it out.
