"Your points are duly noted.
I have laid out just some of the significant concerns that exist ... "


YasX,

A major concern of mine, and one which seems to have been missed by the prospectus, is the heavy reliance on non-recurring revenues. This means that a continual stream of new customers will be needed just to maintain sales at the same level ... which may be difficult once the 'low-hanging fruit' is exhausted.

That's one reason why medical equipment companies tend to be lowly-rated compared to biotechs.

Furthermore, the relatively small amount of money raised leaves little room for error, but experience tells me that the vast majority of start-ups do not meet their projections - maybe one in a hundred or so does.

The company is targeting a penetration rate of 3 - 4% of the kidney stone market in the UK for StoneChecker in the first 12 months from launch, a level which it seems to regard as low.
However, capturing even a few % of a market is pretty high, and can be challenging to achieve.

Trevor Brown has shown that's he's prepared to back FBDU at 1.1p and 1.5p, but at the moment investors are being asked to pay about two or three times those prices, which looks too high given the risks.

Speculative stocks like this can often boom for a while on newsflow before crashing back, so there may be money to be made here as a trading punt, but at the current price of 3.25p there are more attractive risk-reward ratios elsewhere.


P.S. There is also a potential overhand from Peterhouse:

"E.1 Total net proceeds / expenses

The Net Proceeds of the Placing are approximately £416,562. The total expenses incurred (or to be incurred) by the Company in connection with Admission, the Acquisition and the Placing are approximately £184,688, however Peterhouse will be taking their commission of £41,250 and fees of £10,000 (which have been included in the total expenses figure) through the issue of Ordinary Shares at Admission."

ct - What is the conflict of interest you refer to?,

Many directors hold multiple positions and certainly in a non-exec role it can be very beneficial to have the network and experience available to developing businesses,........GL S

Interesting snippet that Dr Qu Li has now joined the main board at Peterhouse...a snippet below from their update today....

"During the year, the Company raised £500,000 from existing and new investors from the UK and Far East. The funds raised will be utilised for the further expansion of the business including acquisitions, joint-venture and new product developments."

"In addition, Peterhouse is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Qu Li to the Board. Dr. Qu Li is the founder and Chairman of China Ventures Ltd, www.chinaventuresltd.com a leading consultancy and venture capital company, specialising in Sino/Western business and offering a wide range of skills associated with international business transactions."

Riddler you really need to read the recent RNS's.

They had £60k cash after disposing of ALL legacy assets leaving them an empty shell. then they set up the convertible loans as a source of cash to keep the company going upto £300k worth at 1.1p. Therefore if they need any of the £300k it turns into stock at 1.1p, just like the first notice of £25k. I think there is £259k of the convertible loan left. Therefore say the current mar cap is £300k, if all the convertible loans are converted and that can at 1.1p then the shares in issue will double, so £600k with £300k cash. However there are a couple of things, one bieng that Trevor Brown the CEO has stumped up £150k of them and a company he owns has stumped up another £125k for these convertible loans. This gives confidence on a few measures, 1) his interests are aligned with investors, 2)once converted they should be tightly held and not supplying the market 3) fact CEO is stumping up this cash suggests there is a plan.

The company is little more than a shell but has a new website that looks fresh and bright and sounds good but that's about it.

Current share price stands at 1.75 -2p

The direction it is headed in is yet to be revealed but the history of the new BoD looks interesting and worth reviewing.

The company as it was previously has had many ups and downs but the best part that came out of it was Stanley Gibbons - the rest went to the dogs as the management lost the plot along with investors money, as the shares stumble along without direction.

Details of Shares:
hxxp://www.flyingbrands.co.uk/shareholder-information/

Alloted: 28,073,735 units comprising one Ordinary Share (of £0.01 each) and one ‘A’ Ordinary Share
No securities are held as treasury shares
59.18% of Flying Brands Limited units are not held in public hands
There are no restrictions on the transfer of shares

There are also convertible loans for £300k that can be issued at £0.011 (some of these have been converted) Others have been issued at £0.015

sp as of 15.52 on 05.05.16 - 3.50 - 4p

Very good opening to the site with sound, however there is a lack of info about the current share structure and terms of loan etc - all a bit murky until there is more clear cut info provided by the company for retail investors.

"Broker Singer Capital Markets reckons Flying Brands now offers investors an exciting turnaround story with better long-term growth prospects. If the full-year dividend payout equates to 2.4p, the current yield would be 4pc, rising to 7 per cent next year."

7% yield going forward then?

I brougt Investors Chronicle this morning and read the Share mag article on fbdu while in the shop.

Share mag have a buy rating at 70p and are very bullish. As well as continued recovery they say that a possibility is that Sir Tom Hunter whos takeover approach was rejected in November 2008, may bid again now that fbdu are on a firmer footing. His investment vehicle (West coast) still owns 29.9% I believe.
(I wouldn't disagree)

Investors Chonicle have the headline (Turnaround at Flying Brands) Sorry I'm not going to write the whole article because on the laptop this week and hate using the keyboard, but the sentiment is positive, and they acknowledge the progress that has been achieved and sum up as follows.

"The UK flower delivery market is worth an estimated £500m a year and management is putting the business on a firmer footing. So while the shares are worth keeping an eye on, they're fairly priced."
