Posted at 08/10/2020 07:29 by bubbleandleek so, from what i can gather we will be looking at a £40m raise which will provide working cap and clean up the balance sheet leaving the company debt free. it has gained a leading position in the covid testing space and if what i hear is correct could lead to something in the region of £60-£80m of free cash flow over the next 2 years.... this is on a c£100m market cap!! i understand that Harwood Capital are not selling down any of their holding either which makes me feel very comfortable. the rest of the business is doing well and growing but the short term opportunity in the covid testing space bring's about all sorts of opportunities. trying to work out how to get a chance to get involved as a retail investor?! |

Posted at 01/8/2016 16:05 by peterz Bigman - surprised you may be but true all the same. Buying medical solutions since November 2000. Yes 2000. Cash outlay of £97K a lot of money. Thos that were in those days will know the story - . Yes SBS have done well in recent years for later investors. I have a very substantial loss. Thats it. |
Posted at 12/6/2016 12:22 by peterz It is hard to admire bright speculators when the outcome means significant loss to long term investors - and the company that has been receiving support in terms of shareholders cash does not have the business awareness to "see it coming". As you say they will be OK though.Having bought from 2000 onwards Did MLS shareholders ever get replacement SBS |

Posted at 11/9/2015 15:59 by buywell2 Hello Diamond1 are you a SBS holder now ?Shares Mags read some advfn BB's methinks buywell3 29 Jul'15 - 08:23 - 3127 of 3213 0 0 A few thoughts Source Bioscience had a presence in Biocity prior to this latest acquisition From the Source Bioscience March 2015 results : 'Operational highlights • Overnight Service™ for DNA sequencing launched from new laboratories in Los Angeles, BioCity Scotland and Tramore, Ireland Presumably SBS had its eye on Select Pharma very soon after moving into Biocity if not before. The acquisition of Vindon Healthcare was questioned by many. Many investors sold up as they did not see the sense in acquiring a business that manufactured cold storage rooms. Vindon was located in Rochdale, a new SBS production facility involving Inverclyde products has now been recently located nearby in the same Kingsway business park which allows for future product expansion The latest Select Pharma acquisition also requires cold storage provision , not surprisingly one would imagine that Vindon units(now SBS owned) will be used in the future and most likely Select Pharma were already leasing some. It does not take much out of the box thinking to expect SBS to replicate this model in the USA in a year or two. The integration and replication of Select Pharma services at existing Source Bioscience USA facilities will surely come at some point soon, which will then enable greater market penetration particularly within the states concerned and the neighbouring states. SBS has now made many acquisitions, this will be the sixth Vindon was acquired by obtaining institutional cash at 9.5p , which was circa 23% discount on the circa 12.5p share price that SBS was trading at the time. Select Pharma , which is a private unlisted company , has been acquired using institutional cash at raised at a share price of 14p which was the share price at the time of the announcement Why is this ? Private investors have all but sold out now Over 90% of shares rested in the hands of existing institutional investors and SBS management BEFORE this acquisition After the acquisition this figure will rise to over 95% In short , there are hardly any shares left for PI's to trade. The next acquisition which I expect will come within 18 months to two years , will be similar to this one with just one difference I expect the cash raised next time will be at a premium to the SP why ? SBS turnover and profits for this year are already in the bag as there will be a whole years trading of Vindon products included PLUS there will be some numbers to add from Select Pharma , I now expect over £31.5m turnover ( just over a 20% 2014 rise )and this time over £3m profit, I don't expect too much in the way of charges/costs for the Select Pharma acquisition. Also has anyone noticed that the number of distributors selling SBS Life Sciences products and services has increased to 18 from a recent 13 some 6 months ago ? So a 2014 disappointing flat Life Sciences number should start heading north once more, plus Atlanta and the USA should start contributing. 2016 turnover and profits look set rise as there will be a whole year of Select Pharma turnover and profits to be added together with increased cross selling opportunities gained by SBS access to Select Pharma clients and vice versa plus there are no shares left so any new institution wanting a meaningful stake will have to pay for it. SBS management, though I give them a hard time of it sometimes, are proving to be able to deliver the goods. Their acquisition choices are coming good, have been bought at decent prices , the way that they are gelling together and each new one is helping the rest shows the plan is working. Controlled growth by acquisition is the name of the game SBS Market Cap is now over £50m , this might attract some new Institutions that have minimum market cap limits set for investment purposes. Within 4 years I expect to see Turnover of £50m which will help to do the same In short , SBS is starting to look like it might be another ABC dyor |
Posted at 12/8/2015 08:22 by buywell3 ....................With respect to the above post it goes without saying that the Pharma Biotech & Life Sciences sector is going to be the place to be invested as the $USD rises in value and other sectors suffer ie a rotation by investors out of unsafe sectors into safe sectors. Some sectors will be ok, but ony a couple , and I am not interested in those as they do not do beneficial work to aid the progress of better and more effective drugs or help stop animals from being used in drug manufacture/testing on cosmetics or health or household testing of chemical compounds and products. UK companies that are exposed in the USA to revenue generation are thus set to benefit by $USD strength. Especially those that saw it coming and purchased companies in the USA when the £GDP was much stronger. Companies that have already spent money to improve such companies are set to reap the benefits of a higher $USD as it translates back into £GDP on the balance sheet. The Vindon Healthcare acquisition gave SBS USA exposure. |

Posted at 19/3/2015 21:42 by dyfiman Hello Buywell2 ............may I ask what your view is of SBS's current 'form' - how things are going on the ground....... ?? And is their a sporting chance that next Wednesday's final results will be good enough to get the share price moving ?? My uneducated view is that is seems a decent company in a good market spot with a decent set of people running affairs..... and some heavyweight investors. I'm also pleased that they include Mr Griffiths, a very successful and clever, serial investor. He's not in SBS just because he likes the nightlife in Nottingham !! Regards to you and any other SBS investors lurking out there. END |
