Then one sit down its failed. This hasn't been in a good way for a while since the deal fell through. The pigs will fly. Good quote. Just a real shame. Rns like that. Isn't good no matter how it looks. I for one have lost a fortune. With no way of getting anything back. It's not a lesson learned. If companies lie. that's just not understanding a Con.
The directors have bled this company and we the shareholders gave Ronen the green light with a bonus. Bet he's thinking..."it's sad news but I'm alright Jack".
Everyone should just go on furlough, switch off the lights and come back when they can resume business with Ruyi offering a deal which will ultimately give them control for peanuts.....keep it on the open market (for Shareholders sake) but with Ruyi now holding the Ace card for cheap production at a fraction of what they may have intended to invest.
Deeply disappointing esp since I have invested so heavily in the company. It was made out (from previous RNSs) that the company is in a decent position, especially after their bold move of taking Ruyi to court.
I know Covid 19 has had a big impact on businesses, but there must have been a few underlying issues before.
Hopefully they will be getting some funding of some sort and SH won't get shafted!
Gl all- a long waiting game now....
GW,
The Feb update, and only a month ago, clearly stated good sale growth with an award of a contract etc. Obviously Covid 19 has impacted on that:
"Whilst trading conditions have remained challenging, the Company continued to generate good sales growth for the 12 months to 31 December 2019, up 9% to $59.4m (2018: $54.6m) and expects to deliver a return to positive adjusted EBITDA** (2018: negative adjusted EBITDA** $1.0m). This improvement in adjusted EBITDA** has been assisted by a further reduction of operational costs completed during H2 2019."
Such a decent revenue stream. They must have been raping the company in their salaries ,as I previously alluded to. Likewise, very disappointed that they can actually get away with this.
Agree- director salaries must be a big cost. Hopefully this will blow over soon and we will walk away with something half decent
I was positive on this share also then had a bad feeling. It's over here got my losses back on mos
Good for you.
I got some back on OEX but way down in my pf...nearly out of the game ):-
They received $3 odd million from Ruyi as a deposit- where did that go?
Does anyone know if Ethiopia has any rescue deals for businesses or is it survival of fittest ?!
Prime .
GW, the minute that Ezry was buying I think our directors knew his intentions so my guess that they engineered a plan.....wonder what that could be!!!
Been saying all along this was scam. Where are all the rampers. Lost my ****ing money. I was warning ppl not to buy more shares. Now we're all ****ed.
Time will tell! Im remaining hopefull that we walk away with something half decent
Madeiraa5 is a spam bot, for those that don't know. Don't click on his link. Just report it.
Yes GW it baffles me also - over 3 million dollar cash injection and they just squandered it - probably in over inflated salaries.
I’ve accepted my investment here is Zero now unless some miracle funding comes through.
Prime
Generally at this point shareholders get screwed over. Just glad I’ve only got a sensible amount in here!
Lucky you! I invested very heavily here and twice was in 30% profit but thought this had much more potential. I wonder what the bank balance is and the current burn rate.
All they have to do is shut down all operations incl suspending salaries (I wouldn't even furlough them) to the greedy directors. Resume trading once this blows over.

1.6 mill in the bank 9 months ago- you would think they must have some in the bank.....
Thanks for that GW.
It's shocking the directors have milked the cow , it's criminal.
So dumb they milked it so much to nil and I hope they all go down with the ship.
Prime.
They put no efforts to RAMP the share up (like most other AIM dogs), they could of done a placing then, but NO they just kept milking it.
I feel for all the employees and hard working staff.
As for the dollar , I can make it back, but many can't in this C19 crisis.
Prime.
Same in many stocks especially ones operated abroad.most go private or bust
Only if I had deep pockets as I would possibly sue the directors.....they're probably sitting at home , smug with the fact that they're counting the queen's heads!!!!
Yep. Director’s have taken the ****, and SH get screwed over. It’s fairly common in AIM but I thought it would be different in a company thats been around for 50 years.
Hopefully we walk away with some of our money
