So how can they quadruple their stores from 2500 to 10,000 in 7 months and stock them, re stock them etc .

Only a rumour but google self drive cars have been mentioned :)

I think we can agree more stock should have been sold in the quarter ending September 21 than quater July 21 just on the number of shops operating during these periods.

The fact the revenue is down approx 75% in second quarter could mean shops unable to receive stock , or slow sales of stock in shops generally. ..However, the RNS 1st July stated
"sales to the Company's US distributor for a further US$0.72 million for 'Chill' brand CBD smokes and chews to facilitate re-orders and the continued roll out of the products." This amount is higher than the recorded sales of its 'Chill' branded products to US distribution partners totaling US$561,330., announced a few days ago in the update. There is a surplus of stock bought by distributors somewhere!

LOL. How do you think they deliver to shops normally - van's ! There was even one with CHILL on the side - they don't deliver by artic lorry's as they are too big, and hard to park and expensive . . Small white vans that's traditional .....but they have had trouble doing this so far this year, as we have already covered - so what is the alternative, when you need to supply 4 x as many shops, than they have tried, and failed failed to do this last quarter?
They must be very clever these people to have a secret that no one else knows about ....

Could be drones! or what about homing pigeons ( cheaper)

So that's it they must have a solution....a crisis that is effecting the entire world ...and CHILL have a solution to quadruple their existing stores and supply them in next seven months ....How? a couple of consultants. Lol

I've been saying the same thing about trust, since 69p . Today we have risen to 13p - You have been ramping this share from 69p upwards ......You don't have to listen if it is so upsetting , just go green as all your mates did months ago.

SEBS. CHILL will never print a negative in an RNS, you are blinded by words......look at the facts. CHILL have given a few facts .. a 75% drop in last quarter sales - It is either distribution problems or lack of interest in shops? Think about it.
You think its bollo*&s .

So what do you think explains the 75% drop in sales in the last quarter?

Evening DR,
I have been around years and the amount of consultants that come and go, often on massive benefits , who often leave before anyone has noticed they have arrived - is amazing - i,e no effect). Therefore, I am more than slightly influenced from past experience on this one. However, Yes, i hope they make the difference that is needed.

Its more the mechanics of how they can cover 10,000 shops, and extra 7,500 new shops at such a challenging time in just seven months that i find intriguing and to be honest, i can't believe at the moment.

Seb. CHILL do not say anything! You are on your own here. I said chill / chills distributers have either failed to distribute to the shops , or they have managed to distribute to the shops and the shops are not selling the product...what was it worked out 1/2 a unit per shop per day, for past quarter.
Which way do you want to interpret the last data?
You can interpret the revenue between the last two quarters - they went into reverse. A 75% drop in sales compared to the previous quarter, ending July 21, that is assuming no further outlets were added which would only make matters worse.
I interpret CHILL as saying ( yes, in their limited way) this is due to distribution problems in the US .

If what your saying to me is that i am wrong, and that CHILL did manage to distribute / service all 2,500 plus stores and kept them stocked in quarter ending September 21 - then the drop in sales can only be down to lack of interest in CHILL in the shops, which as investors we really do not wan't to face , yet we want to know about, but it will never be mentioned.

Thanks BB for submitting the questions. Just a few thoughts ...
If we agree that CHILL received payment of $2 m in first quarter to July, then $.5 m next quarter to September 21 then that is a 75% drop in demand for whatever reason! Likely to be distribution, but we do not know for sure that there is also an issue with take up of smokes in shops either.

Q7 I’m least impressed with these answers

“As mentioned in response to a question at the Group’s AGM in September 2021, rollout information is generally market-sensitive and so must be provided via the RNS. “

So? after it being requested in the September AGM why not include the number of current outlets in the business update RNS dated 3rd November 21 - it is relevant. They were requested to do this, they had the perfect opportunity and decided not to do it, even when asked too at the AGM. They obviously prefer to keep this from the market. Its interesting that all they promised us, and all we spoke about for six months was progress of outlets - now that door is shut - lesson learned.
The only RNSd milestone published in Feb 21 is the 10,000 outlets by May 22. So far a big **** up, but somehow they feel that they can still meet this target - just 7 months away.

So a big question is how can they service an extra 1000 new outlets a month, continue to service exiting outlets,so that in May 22 they are servicing 10, 000 outlets..when they have admitted ( for whatever reason) they have failed to support sales in their existing 2,500 outlets , which have dropped 75% this last quarter.

They have reported that sales will now become more lumpy, unpredictable in the future, but they still need to meet the seven month target of May 22- so it is either an average of 1000 new stores a month - or a 500 on month, 1500 the next but whichever way they do this they are going to need distributors.

Any ideas how they can service 1000 new outlets a month ( variable) for the next seven months .....what alternatives are available? If its a false target then its a milestone for the market, just to keep credibility, and they will have to deal with it when the time comes..kicking it down the road.
I have no idea how they can manage this after what they have said about the difficulty's in US - so does anyone know of other ways of distributing shops

Thanks Billy. ill have a read .

Watch out for John Story being rolled out for another CHILL interview, maybe the best way out of this situation without having to sell anything :)

E.g
CHILL - distribution issues mentioned in yesterdays RNS continue and are ( from what i read) likely to continue into next year. Limiting rollout and sales.
CHILL sales - effected by distribution issues BUT also very weak sales figures per shop - and no fine data given by company ( possibly lucky break for them) so a big unknown how CHILL are selling in shops in US.
UK CHILL - online only ( no mention in RNS) and no idea how long it will be before permission for CHILL to be sold in shops - even when granted, a long period to set up distribution and roll out - summer at earliest IMO.
EU - probably worse or at best the same as UK = unknown, and again a long lead time from permissions granted to actual product in shop for sale.
The latest nicotine product launched in US - will be hit by the same distribution delays as other CHILL products -but should be in some shops late this quarter IMO.
The share price can't stay still , and 6-9 months with nothing but uncertainty is a long time and there are no guarantees that revenues will increase over this period ( other than promises BOD are working on it) .
So what's going to happen here over next 6-9 months.

Best case a lot of radio silence with if we are lucky a couple of development's in UK , maybe EU but with very long time lines before distribution secured and revenue is captured - let alone reported to investors.

If we just look at the next nine months and let the longer term future take care of itself, then my question to the BB is
Where is revenue most likely to come from over the next 6-9 months .

Each of CHILLs revenue generating opportunity's at present have obstacles, many with unknown timelines to when they will will bein a postion to develop further.

The Telegram Group is a boiler room, set up for one purpose and one kind of investor - those who are either visually or intellectually challenged - there is only one narrative and that is CHILL will make YOU a lot of money, even though they have all watched in wonder as the SP fell 90% in a few months. lol pmsl (to use their favourite phrases)

I visited the TG, read the posts on day one, challenged a post on day two, and was abused , rounded upon by the crew here and a few other lost souls on day three and banned on day four. Much to the merriment of the crew here, including KIPPER who's only job being here these days is to delete other investor posts - and provide historic entrainment. This sums up the philosophy of the hard core members of the TG who happened to be, or have influence over the administrators for the group - and enjoy kicking out anyone they do not like the look of.
They were once called Fascists , but today we are kinder and the polite term is just sh&ts .
However, now the TG is defunct, and lost all credibility, lost its AIM & purpose - due to the few so called experts in the group being unable to interpret the dire situation the company has found itself in. I hope the majority in the T. group have the gumption to challenge their so called experts! I personally feel the whole TG is a fake, a trap for those less experienced investors who just want to believe a simple get rich quick narrative .

The big question now is what happens next ! Once the shares that were sold all the way down to 10p, are resold to new buyers at 20% higher then what? .....the revenues this quarter ending December will not be good, i think we can all agree on that ( and we won't be informed how bad the next quarter could be) , with the ongoing distribution problems / poor sales in the US - this will not disappear and likely to continue into New Year at earliest.

News relating to the UK is constipated at best- due to new bureaucracy which is anyone's guess when it will get resolved, and many months to rollout , even when UK distributor announced , Europe probably worse, CHILL ONLINE not even a mention in todays update so that just leaves the already launched new range of Tobacco-Free Nicotine (TFN) flavour pouches ....which will be lucky if they can find anyone to distribute these in US according to RNS as already have problems distributing existing stock .

If my little summing-up seems unfair please enlighten me from where will the good news come from in the next few quarters.

Kipper. The company are in charge and they lead the way...the investors watch, comment and fight over the scraps they are fed ...the fact that some investors comments are critical of the company may be because the company are not performing as some felt they should...this can't be a surprise to you as you must have noticed he sp fall to a low of 10p today.....I think the days of overpromising and fireworks by Christmas are now long gone, and the company have learnt a lesson and this is they must be very careful with anything sensitive they put out for the foreseeable future.

Excellent. V. good email. Thanks BB

Looking forward to knowing what exactly the target and timeline will be.

Dr,
I hope you are correct and its all down to distribution ( which in itself is catastrophic, and with no end in sight ). But we do not actually know this ! and often its what BODs don't say, or miss out is as important as what they include in a supposedly reassuring RNS at this particular time in the sp history. If distribution problems were limiting sales in a significant manner, and sales were expected to be good it would have been so easy for the company to have added a supporting note to confirm to its investors that CHILL is selling very well in all / most outlets - however distribution is currently limiting sales etc ...or something similar.

CHILL will know how the product has been received by its customers, they will be all over that despite the distribution problems and a confirmation that product is selling well - would have done no harm - but they chose not too!

It is possible to turn a negative into a positive but they have to keep to the facts .....so they said nothing as maybe the facts are not so good.

We know we have trouble with distribution to new stores but what we did not know (well, i didn't) until today was that we also have trouble selling the product in stores as well. Half a unit of product ($2.5) sold per shop per day is not good, especially when the bulk of these stores have been selling for many months, with upfront display cabinets, instore advertising and new ground breaking product. Just an observation !

How things would have been different today if they had admitted to the same distribution problems but had informed us that the 2,500 shops were selling just 3 product a day on average $15 per day per store. The share price would have moved up with over $3 m taken this past quarter.
