Another article with quotes from Julian Baines, this from one from March about using AIM:



Investors have become extremely choosy about the sectors they will back. Healthcare is a firm favourite, on the basis that people are always willing to spend on keeping fit and healthy. The right technology and energy companies may get a look in too.

One Welsh entrepreneur among the handful to get access to AIM recently is Julian Baines. He and colleague David Evans acquired AIM-listed cash shell International Brand Licensing in January to develop a health diagnostics business. Their track record includes British Biocell International, which they sold in 2008. "BBI had high profits and good growth potential, and so will the companies we're looking to acquire," says Baines.

He's aware of risk aversion across the whole stock market but is not deterred. "I think it's a solid, positive change. Now isn't a bad time at all to come back to the market if you have solid businesses with good growth and a high reputation."

Funding growth through acquisitions – which is IBL's strategy – is where AIM is particularly supportive compared with private equity. BBI made seven acquisitions in the three-and-a-half years after it floated, compared with none in the four years it was under venture capital ownership.

Baines already has three acquisition targets in his sights. Once the first is complete he will give IBL a more appropriate name and set up a corporate headquarters in Cardiff. Listing on AIM, he says, "really is an easier way of rapidly growing a business if you're starting from a very strong base"

Yes; very little stock about. Almost all tightly held by directors or long term investors.

Any spare that comes onto the market has been quickly snapped up for months - now we know why!

Going very much higher as the story unfolds.

Certainly neglected and overlooked; but worth accumulating at this rock -bottom price.

Cash rich; profitable; no debt; some good brands and steadily expanding across the globe with their key names.

Some bright investors on board already and last results, although seemingly poor, were deliberately depressed to take advantage of the opportunity to write down intangibles.

Picked up quite a few more without rocking the boat over the past few weeks and am happy to hold for a year or two whilst they build up the muscle brand and keep taking the steady and increasing income from the core admiral logo.

Thought I'd rejuvenate this thread today, after a long period - sadly we've lost the ashes again since it was last used!

Some large protected trades gone through today and I imagine the overhang, which has depressed the price for months, has now been cleared.

Business is doing well right across the world and should be time for another RNS for a deal or trading update.

Below most investors radar but solid, profitable and looking good now for a sustained rise.

Picked up a few more today.

The value of the Admiral brand has got to be way in excess of the current market cap of £7m. Wont be long before investors wake up to this fact. Seriously undervalued IMO


International Brand wins 6-yr license from Tenzero for Admiral brand kits
LONDON (AFX) - International Brand Licensing PLC said its Admiral sports
brand has won a new six-year licensing deal with Tenzero Ltd - a division of
Sondico UK, to provide "team sports clothing and equipment" for the UK and
Republic of Ireland.
The agreement has minimum guaranteed royalties of 189,000 stg, the company
release said.
Chief executive Tony Hutchinson said, "Discussions with other potential
partners for additional categories should result in the further strengthening of
Admiral in the future."
Admiral is the exclusive kit supplier to the England & Wales Cricket Boards
as well as Leeds United Football Club.

Chaps-

I see the board have cancelled their options which I assume they have been advised might have sent out the incorrect vibes regarding the share price going forward.
Options at sub 20p might had inferred to a fair value of 25/35p. It is now obvious the management feel this would be selling the company short.

A smart move for investor sentiment would be to issue the granting of options at 25p+ at a later date to show confidence in IBL.

INTERNATIONAL BRAND LICENSING (AIM:IBL) 27.5p BUY
While International Brand Licensing's former parent Hay and Robertson (AIM:HAY) flounders (see page 29) this company is busy ensuring it does not go the same way.

IBL was demerged from H&R in May 2002, and although it got off to rather a slow start, that now seems to be changing. Word on the street is that ASDA and IBL are about to announce that the latter's Admiral junior cricket wear will be rolled out across 100 stores in time for the Cricket World Cup this summer.

There are also rumours of a £25 million contract, although it remains unclear at this stage which of the brands it relates to. As well as holding the rights to the Admiral sporting brand, of which ASDA is its exclusive UK licensee, IBL also owns the rights to Mountain Equipment.

Big Hit, which held the Admiral licence before ASDA, went bust last year, with royalty income from Admiral UK falling from £512,000 to £14,000 and causing the company to record a loss for the first six months of last year.

There may be some upside from IBL investigating the possibility of recovering some of the monies owed, but greater upside comes from its ASDA deal, which already has a strong clothing bent through its George franchise. IBL also has Admiral licensees in Benelux, Germany and Canada, which is part of its attempts to create a global sporting brand.

Mountain Equipment is similarly licensed out, and the UK and European licensee OSC was bought by Swiss Cutlery last April which should give it stronger finances to distribute and extend the range, with plans for a number of new products.

The company raised £500,000 in January to fund working capital, on top of the small amount of cash it had at the end of June, the month of the most recently published results.

House broker Collins Stewart has no published forecasts in the market place, and full-year results to December will be out by the end of June.

IBL appears to offer private investors an opportunity to get in on the act before the institutions find out about it, and on this basis, the 27.5p share price seems fairly cheap, especially when it listed at 40p in May 2002.

Kylemore Investments – Mark Levinson's investment vehicle – recently upped its stake by 2.14% to 23.6%. Other investors should follow suit.

Shares Summary


The Admiral brand will be a real winner with the help of ASDA's retail expertise.
Untapped value in the Mountain Equipment brand.
Talk of significant new contracts is no bad thing.
BUSINESS: Brand licensing

VITAL STATS:
Market Capitalisation: £8.3 million

Has anyone found Admiral in their local Asda store? IBL needs to give themselves some much needed publicity.There appears to be no web site.Investors need to phone Asda head office and ask which of their stores Admiral can be purchased from.If every investor made just one phone call it might result in some publicity from Asda childish but it might work.
