Well, last year they filed at CoHouse on the 7th Dec : McDowell signed them 28th Sept : As any Auditor will tell you it takes longer to count losses than it does profits.

[baner] 20/10/2022 14:54

report should be released tomorrow according to Stockopedia. i guess McDowell will announce his "resignation" in relation to this.

[dipike] 17/10/2022 07:22

Well, we are now past mid-Oct and the share price is sub 29p. I guess the BOD is relying on the 31st Dec deadline for Companies House accounts - with little regard or respect for the small share holders.

[muzmanoz] 06/10/2022 18:47

Stockopedia has results listed as tomorrow. But no one else seems to.

[dipike] 05/10/2022 21:43

Has anyone heard anything or had communication with the BODs. There is an erie silence around this.

[baner] 04/10/2022 20:03

thanks Ali47 - this is indeed exceptionally serious and probably the beginning of the end for the current BOD.

[ali47fish] 04/10/2022 06:40

i have brought this to the attention of sharesoc who will investigate

[baner] 03/10/2022 18:58

it is the BODs duty to ensure there is a good accounting in place - so i guess we have an incompetent BOD supervising an incompetent Management team here - shame on you McDowell et al !

[dipike] 03/10/2022 18:24

It does make you wonder how well the company is run internally when they can't present a set of accounts on time despite having had months to prepare them.

[kemche] 03/10/2022 10:22

How successful can they get?

[baner] 03/10/2022 10:05

i guess McDowell is resigning now and they are discussing with his successor. this is such a fiasco for an otherwise successful man.

[dipike] 01/10/2022 18:13

Now October - maybe something next week? Maybe something significant is on the horizon? Lets hope it bumps up the share price I'm tempted to sell though..........

[dipike] 29/9/2022 12:53

still no finals rns - company website financial calendar states finals as "September" - so must be tomorrow. Meanwhile share price now down at 30p

[chrisdgb] 29/9/2022 07:27

Will the recent carnage in bond yields not have seriously helped the deficit here???

[dh1706] 24/9/2022 21:57

I used to go to the AGMs until a few years ago. The attitude of the Board was one of arrogance and little respect for the owners of the company and, when it became too uncomfortable for them to hold these meetings locally, they upped roots and took the AGM to London with the associated costs of doing so. I guess this was to prevent the local vocal owners turning up and asking awkward questions. Says it all.
I looked at other companies and have done really well at W7L who seem to care about their shareholders, respect them and, allow open zoom access to results presentations. A whole different feel to them and just solid performance.

[dgwinterbottom] 24/9/2022 17:26

"The competitors in similar markets are doing well ..." really???? take a look at REVB !!

[baner] 23/9/2022 09:36

Dipike - u R absolutely right, competitors are indeed doing well so there is no excess for BA, other than having an incompetent BOD. What are Soros et al waiting for - they paid nearer to 300p for their shares!

[dipike] 20/9/2022 20:37

Late again - often a prelude to bad news or a desperate scramble for something remotely positive. The competitors in similar markets are doing well ... let's hope for better news.

[ali47fish] 20/9/2022 06:27

isnt this comp reporting today? no rns

[ali47fish] 18/9/2022 16:20

so what is going to take to oust these directors- has anybody attended the last agm. is there a single entity inside or outside the board who can stop this rot!

[dipike] 08/9/2022 14:51

I agree with baner - something has gone off the rails here.
Looking at their offering, there is no coherent, overarching brand, just lots of copies of their competitors inventions. Same stuff, different packet is not attractive to consumers. BA has no intellectual property to sell. They also make out that the products are "premium" but they are sold in discount stores and Morrisons. It just does not add up.

[baner] 08/9/2022 07:48

Warpaint PLC presented good numbers this morning - nothing wrong with the market place. What IS wrong is the Brand A strategy - which is clearly the responsibiity of McDowell and his BOD colleagues. They have to be thrown out urgently in order to install more competent persons at the BOD level. McD is indeed a good man when running industrial entities, but in cosmetics he is a bloody disaster.

[chrisdgb] 06/9/2022 14:36

Is there a long term recovery story here...?

[chop50] 06/9/2022 00:34

And it goes from bad to worse for us long suffering investors that had IDP stock...first a massive (all relative of course) loss of stock in the conversion and now this for the issued shares in BAR. Dismal.

[kemche] 05/9/2022 14:32

One of the fines BODs in the market.
Soon to be less than what they paid for IDP.
Bonuses all round I think.
