Posted at 11/8/2011 11:42 by iloveit Bid approach for Coolabi09/08/2011 Robert Tyerman Media rights specialist Coolabi (COO) says it has received an approach which might lead to a takeover bid. The AIM-quoted company, whose properties include Purple Ronnie and pre-school series Poppy Cat, has announced this in response to sharp movements in its share price. Chaired by William Harris and steered by chief executive Jeremy Banks, London-based Coolabi, whose broker is Evolution Securities, has recently been scoring successes for its brands, including four merchandising partnerships the other day for Poppy Cat. Last year, the company slashed its losses from £1.4 million to £196,500 before a tax credit of £474,000 on turnover down 17 per cent to £2.9 million. Highlighted by Growth Company Investor at 6.25p in June, Coolabi tightly-held shares, which have traded between 8.95p and 5.75p over the past 12 months, now change hands at 8.75p, up 1.25p this morning, valuing the company at £4.9 million.

Posted at 04/7/2011 17:10 by lord gnome Fair to say though that COO under-delivered last year. The broker's estimate was for eps of 1p in 2010 and COO delivered just 0.4p. I am more hopeful for this year and next, however, as there has been a steady flow of good news and positive developments from the company recently. Can COO convert good news into profits for us? I guess we'll get a good idea as to how things are going at the half way stage when they report in September. In the meantime, aren't we due an IMS? One to update at the close of the first half of the year certainly wouldn't go amiss. |

This extension of the winning association with Boots, one of the UK's biggest high street retailers, is part of the continuing successful development of this unique brand and is the fifth major deal announced by Coolabi for Scarlett & Crimson this year. Other categories in development in both the US and UK include apparel, perfume, bath and body, gifting and accessories.
