Posted at 13/5/2021 07:07 by actybod 18th and investor meet. Will be there. Come now. |
Posted at 17/3/2021 10:14 by someuwin Hadn't even realised until today that Luke Johnson (Channel 4, PizzaExpress etc) is a strategic investor here with over 3% holding. That's a huge vote of confidence and I'm sure opens a lot of doors. |
Posted at 29/12/2020 18:49 by micktravers As an investor I have given the digital version a go and played with family via Zoom. I had five different familys (my family and my siblings families) playing yesterday. The game was suppossed to take an hour and I think we managed to complete it in about 2.5 hours. So we had 5 teams (5 players) but each team had an average of 4 players so there was actually 20 of us. Our game cost me just under £20 which worked out at about £1 per head. Thats great value in anyones book for a few hours entertainment.A few points.............. being the number of PCs connected (and this is probably very different for the corporate market) does not represent the amount of players actually taking part. So what I'm saying is the popularity of this is grossly underestimated. However the enjoyment level was right up there and although its not best suited to Zoom unless you have a very switched on game co-ordinater (which i believe the corporates do )its still great fun. My advice is if your playing with friends and family via Zoom is to just limit it two or three Zoom Connections. Just my experience. So overall I get the digital side and am happy to invest now for what should be a very different 2021 even thou it may be H2 weighted. Would I play the Digital game again? .............Yes and so would most of the 20 other players taking part some of who had already done the physical experience and didn't realise the digital side was available. So I may have converted 19 other potential customers. Just imagine if all us private investors managed to do the same. And yes I realise that the physical side is going to be impacted in the near term but the digital conversions may well in time want to give the physical side a go. Also happy to become a Non Exec for a small fee. |
Posted at 12/11/2020 10:00 by playful A fireside chat with our Bob..Escape Hunt plc (LON:ESC) is the topic of conversation when Zeus Capital’s Technology Analyst Bob Liao caught up with DirectorsTalk for an exclusive interview. Q1: Escape Hunt, the company traded strongly in the first couple of months after the UK’s first lockdown, can you give us an update on trading since then? A1: Trading’s been very strong in the last seven weeks, the half-term week and in particular, during half term, total sales for the company were up 25% year on year and EBITDA margins in the UK owner operating sites have been substantially better than in prior periods In the six weeks prior to half term, EBITDA before central costs was positive and ahead of management expectations. So, things are going in terms of trading and it indicates to us that the company is well positioned to deliver high returns to investors post the expected second lockdown. Q2: The company raised funds in July to expand its sites, how will the second lockdown delay its built out plans? A2: They have been steadily rolling out sites and their expectation is that the build out will not be impacted by the lockdown, the company completed its 12th site in October and expect to complete its 13th site in November, without any impact from the lockdown. The 14th site, which is expected in December, the company plans to start fit out this month. So, all seems to be going on track without any expectations of delays due to the second lockdown. Q3: Now, the UK has a second lockdown, how will the company’s trading be impacted? A3: The second lockdown does require the company to close its UK owner operated sites, however, the impact of remote games and some good cost management should moderate the impact of the second lockdown. The company now has a range of digital and remote play games, that it did not have six months ago, they’ve all been growing very, very rapidly and also the margins coming from them are substantially above average. So, the company’s trading should also be helped by the government’s furlough scheme and the company’s cost controls, which have been quite effective to date. I think the overall impact during the second lockdown down in terms of cash outflows should be marginal. Looking longer term, and we believe the company is very well positioned to take market share in the fast-growing experiential entertainment sector, the company’s got a very diverse product suite, some aggressive marketing plans, and a premium branding. All these things we think will position it well against a lot of their competitors, which are lot of independent, not well resourced players in the market. We also see that Escape Hunt probably will benefit from some of the dynamics and the commercial property market where I think it should be able to get, now, premium locations at relatively attractive rates. So, we think it’s very well positioned on both these sort of costs and market share side of things as well. |
Posted at 16/9/2020 19:08 by playful Comment from the LSE board...I think you are right to flag that £220,000 is an enormous salary for the CEO of this micro business, and the uplift from £200,000 in 2018 was entirely unjustified by financial performance. His reward should not be salary driven, the remuneration package is wrong. There have been many 'strategic objectives' not delivered since the initial listing, but on balance also finally some signs of progress pre-COVID. However, I don't see there can be much more investor patience left (none in your case!!) and any failure to deliver on objectives for 2020/early 2021 must surely signal the end of the road when you are being paid this sort of salary, either do a Lineker and take a reduction or get someone worth this money in. |

Posted at 10/2/2020 20:49 by mcrudden Russel since joining lse and ADVFN 5 days ago you have continued to try and plant doubt in investors minds. Did you quickly join after reading the last update to try and keep the share price depressed for your own gain or worry that people would start to take notice of this undervalued play and your short would quickly spike out of control. Too many games are played out on these boards at the expensive of Genuine new investors it's sickening. |
Posted at 10/2/2020 00:24 by russell30 That analysis is short-sighted. Dyor most definitely, but read ALL the rns, not just the most recent. People are only considering the Arrowgrass effect, but check ESC history and you'll see other price plunges and fleeing investors. Sure they picked up a relationship with intu Chapelfield, but they lost several franchise relationships just this past year alone according to their website. Why would several franchisees decide to drop the Escape Hunt brand and go it alone? Why would the founder dump all his shares? Why would the CFO suddenly leave effective immediately? Why would one of their top investors, house broker Peel Hunt, suddenly downgrade them after propping them up all this time? All this looks to me like a bigger problem than just a distressed seller. |
