Nothing but good news after I bought. Still losing money. Patience wearing thin.
Very strange>

[113mike] 22/11/2014 20:24

What about BOX, DIS, STG, KIBO, AVP for starters?

[neil78] 22/11/2014 20:10

Nice info.

so a hold on through 2015 to results for me.

But I'd expect some return on my investment in the company from that point onwards

others maybe feel the same

but I'm optomistic that growth. Maybe further aquesittions a take over all possible through next year.

so more patience required guess ill look for high risk speculative penny share to keep the adrelin flowing

Further more...LiteBulb has a highly seasonal reporting pattern with the majority of revenues delivered ahead of the Christmas trading period. The Company remains on target to announce maiden profits after tax for the full year.

Whats not to like?The Board is pleased with current trading, with sales and committed orders as at 31 October 2014 now standing at over GBP20m for the financial year with two important trading months still to go. Individual group companies are performing well, with the earliest acquisition Bluw expected to show like-for-like sales growth of over 35% for the full year. This is a good indicator that the Group strategy is beginning to bear fruit.

I'm a bit miffed that I didn't spot this co. last year, as the more I read, the more it seems like a classic consolidation exercise, with a very sound rationale behind it.

Although I didn't know much about it, the market for licensed branded goods / distribution appears to have been pretty fragmented. In a way that's not a surprise - easy to imagine lots of separate relationships developing over the years between marketing agencies and brands and a separate set of relationships between distributors of one sort or another and the final retailers.

They are also very good on publishing detail. There doesn't seem to be any hype.

So the latest statement makes very good reading:

"The Board is pleased with current trading, with sales and committed orders as at 31 October 2014 now standing at over GBP20m for the financial year with two important trading months still to go. Individual group companies are performing well, with the earliest acquisition Bluw expected to show like-for-like sales growth of over 35% for the full year. This is a good indicator that the Group strategy is beginning to bear fruit.

Successful integration of previous acquisitions

The Company's strategy of building a larger integrated business focussed on high quality branded products for major UK retailers has been successful, and the Board believe that LiteBulb has a scalable model which allows it to maximise the value of newly acquired businesses by benefitting from economies of scale and through cross-selling across the Group's extensive retailer base.

In addition the centralisation of a number of Group functions across the Company should show significant efficiency benefits in 2015.

It is great thought that a business is being created. As mentioned

That is wonderfull but I'm a investor in a business that isn't showing much share price encouragement after all we meaning small investors are in this to make money and I'd add as much as possible so we pick and choose in order to create the opportunity for share risers.

I've looked at Fitbug.peertv.others and bought bits along the way some decent returns but I don't shout it like some on the boards. I am hoping for a lite at the end of the Tunnel in litebulb.

I fee all small investors in it will gain in the long run.

But the jam tomorrow story mmmmmm well well I've tasted a few and yuk

Look for news soon maybe prior to the close of 2014

[vitamal] 18/11/2014 06:52

It would still be nice to see a flutter

[yump] 16/11/2014 21:33

fwiw I think the share price at the moment represents the building of a business by a bod who want to build a business, rather than cause a share price to fly.

[neil78] 15/11/2014 13:06

Earlier talk was litebulb working towards 5p and the takeover ramps up. That's some ways away but not impossible look around and see many lesser quality non revenue earners offering startling performance in the share price.

I keep coming back scratch my head I do value us more than 1p abouts as it stands will 5p be breached auhhh let me think about that one
anyone with any interesting positive thoughts out there please share your knowledge and remember a machine has landed on a comet. When will litebulb lite up

[113mike] 14/11/2014 11:40

Yes' thanks for that Neil78...nice to get a little bit of publicity! ... a nice gradual share price rise over the next year the same magnitude as CHA will suit me fine!

[neil78] 14/11/2014 11:34

Mentioned in daily mail by Geoff foster. See the major investor names. Surely the gentleman will be looking for a upturn we all need. Crust

[neil78] 14/11/2014 10:50

Wiser cleverer heads I ask those in the know why isn't why hasn't there been a more positive reaction to the news all through 2014 and of course this week's news with it looking positive to me in so many ways the share hardly trades isn't tipped isn't a target of ram person and shorter etc it's got serious moneyed investors yet it's uninspiring Franky IVe bought several epic looser shares in the past and a few ones with good returns litebulb was I'd hoped in my good return box

[113mike] 14/11/2014 10:09

All disappointingly quiet here and the share price not moved up in any way...yet!

[neil78] 13/11/2014 12:39

Any thoughts .how to get this share traded upwards. They have house brokers are they at permanent lunch. And a director buying maybe or one of those share holders with deep pockets and there are a couple.a newspaper coverage where's Midas gone ? Oh well ill keep a look out

[neil78] 13/11/2014 11:36

Have been with litebulb for some time fair amount invested cheered by the news. Progress it seems bit Un cheered the static share price through 2014. Many tiddlers seem to move in dramatic fashion my be a tad greedy or expectations high but as a investor I do e pet some up side to my initial investment a hold towards 2014 year end results. Just can't live with it forever as that is a long time

[113mike] 13/11/2014 10:55

Wakey Wakey! Where is everyone?

[113mike] 13/11/2014 10:23

Be good to see some significant director buys?

[113mike] 13/11/2014 09:42

Just had me a little top up at .00895p..patience still needed for a while longer yet but the story is developing nicely! Imho

[yump] 13/11/2014 08:32

Nice to find a company that has a rationale for consolidating in its market, rather than just growing for growing's sake. This looks like one of those where the savings, efficiencies, cross-selling etc. will actually work out.

It must actually be quite difficult and costly for smaller businesses in this area to attempt to sell and get contracts with the bigger retailers. There must be a whole load of duplicated activities that can be more efficient when managed within a larger group.

There must have been a business (in this area) that consolidated before, but I can't find one.

[113mike] 13/11/2014 08:17

Nice RNS released this morming. Good revenue/profit enhancing aquisition and good trading/order book update. All looking good imho...whats not to like?

[neil78] 24/10/2014 19:39

Should any one hear any news gossip tips etc re this one please add me to your mailing

They're up in battersea I believe the offices etc think I'll take the dog and walk around see what's cooking

[113mike] 24/10/2014 08:17

I'm in BOX as well (amongst others)..its another one in a similar position...on the cusp of much better things to come... imo but happy to stay in LBB for a good while longer yet!

[neil78] 24/10/2014 07:26

Thank you for the post

Having read through it brings encouragement where there wasn't

I do believe 2015 pre and post results will show our patience rewarded

I will continue to hold what I have happily

As always, the second half of the year sees the majority of our sales as retailers stock up ahead of Christmas, but with the forward order book currently totalling over GBP12m, we are confident that we will deliver a considerable uplift in revenues for the full year and move into profitability for the first time. We have invested heavily in the management team and infrastructure, and now have scope for further strong growth, both organically and by acquisition."
