Robward...Yes I guess that was bound to happen and we are now trading closer to reported nav, but that puts no value on the managment teams abilities to transform this company, which as some of know is a noteworthy point perhaps currently being overlooked. Happy to sit tight/accumulate.

I note last years FY Results were on the 20th May, so I assume we are due another set of results soon, during which we will probably get an update on the progress.

It was always going to take time to sell all the disparate parts of the Admiral brand; they obviously want the maximum price but the buyers know the assets HAVE to go!

Some tough negotiations.

The cash keeps trickling in and I'm sure they're also making good progress on the acquisition behind the scenes.

Keep the faith.

Board Changes, New Strategy, Disposal and Placing

Under the AIM Rules for Companies, shareholders' approval is required for the
change of strategy and it is proposed to post a circular to shareholders
shortly; seeking such approval at a general meeting. Once approved by
Shareholders the Company will have 12 months to make an acquisition, or
acquisitions, which constitute a reverse acquisition or implement its investing strategy. The Board anticipates it will make an acquisition which will constitute a reverse acquisition within this time frame.

Silverfern...I would be interested to read the answer ;-)

Patience still required here (as the cash rolls in), the management have the track record to back up the expectations, not to mention good connections.

yes they have to get rid of the old business first. Still, I might call JB and ask when we might get the new one.

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"

no point buying IBL only to then buy another plc (vdn).

all gone very quiet here; seems to be taking longer than the press article made it sound.

What are the chances of IBL being interested Vindon Healthcare, VDN ?
One director has defected
Zeus Capital holds 34%
It is profitable and relatively cheap with bluechip clients though not exactly diagnostic.

"the strategy was on acquiring cash- positive businesses in the IVD sector, but also those having difficulties in financing the next growth phase.....
Through nominated adviser Zeus it will soon look to secure institutional backing to finance its ambitious acquisition strategy. The first acquisition deal will ..create a newly-named listed company with its HQ in Cardiff – with all the corporate functions, but with manufacturing remaining elsewhere in Europe. Mr Baines confirmed that talks were also taking place with a view to a second acquisition.. "We should be looking at a turnover business of £30m in 18 months."

The company is targeting cash generative and operationally profitable businesses with bluechip client bases.

It is an interesting question what an appropriate current share price for the company is. I guess it comes down to how much value you attibute to goodwill of the new management and new strategy.

With net tangible assets after placing funds and recent disposals likely to be around £3.7m and a current market cap of £10.7m at the curent share price of 25.5p - this implies trade marks to be sold and goodwill equate to £7m of the market cap.

If, as someone estimated above that trade marks could be sold for £2m, then this would value the goodwill at £5m or just under half the current share price.

A good track record in a prior similar business is certainly worth a lot to shareholders in any new business. The question of how much however will be revealed if and when any new shares are placed or issued as part payment of an acquisition. In this situation the placees or aquired company will judge how much they are willing to pay for the goodwill.

My only concern is that profitable diagnostics businesses do not come cheap. If initial acquisitions are to be funded from internal resources then shareholders might find that the share price is a little more reliant on the alchemy principle in the short term!

rob; four months now since the new strategy was announced and only one disposal RNS since.

I just figure we must be very close to another very significant announcement; particularly as we have seen some chunky trades in recent weeks.

We know what's going to happen - it's just the timing and the detail now.

Have faith my son; no way the directors have invested over £1M simply to see 12p on the share price over 6 months.

This is the start of the rise, not the end.

Edging up daily.

Just took another 20k; I don't want to miss the next big rise when we get a significant RNS - could tear away very fast, I fancy.

Lets hope not, I've been in from 22p watched it drop all the way down to 6p and so now would be nice to see a profit !! Luckily I only have 70000 shares so it wasn't too much of a panic when they fell, also I still believe they will realise at least £2 million from the sale of Admiral Trademarks to help with the Acquisition

yes, so the nurse tells me; and so is patience.

Lots of underlying strength here as the people in the know quietly add.

Must be close to another RNS; further sales/disposals and/or the new business.

No time to be selling this one; rather, time to add.
