agreed Hero, Dynamo has suddenly appeared and is talking rubbish without knowing the company.
Yes IDP will be impacted - all companies are but we are not a travel, entertainment or pub/restaurant company.
In terms of Skinny Tan, our biggest seller by a mile, H2 is our big period.
Most revenue is in the last few months of the year (Apr to June) as the weather improves and people go on holiday. BUT early in H2 in preparation of this IDP make big deliveries to retail partners. These have already been made - Boots had a full range of ST products by end of Jan. With 2,100 stores this will be a 7 figure invoice. Additionally there will be big orders from SD (for both ST and new brand NUTHING) and also Tesco's first order of ST in over 700 stores.
These will bring in big revenues (c£2 to £3m in total) and have already been fulfilled. Depending on payment terms this money will be dropping in the next moth or so.
Clearly if the lockdown continues for say 3 months then non essentials will suffer - clothes, makeup, skincare etc, but if say we can break the back of this in the next 4 to 6 weeks then maybe things can return to some normality.
Not having any debt is a massive positive for any small company and IDP has none.
The Directors know the situation better than anyone and they are buying . They are both on very modest salaries - think KC got £56k last year.
