Then Kefi Gold & Copper (KEFI) and Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX).- By Tom Winnifrith |

A last stock market trading day of 2023 and 9:01am announcement from Live Company Group (LVCG) stating that it “provides an update on its financial positIon, financial statements and corporate activities”. Hmmm – a rushed, ‘no-one watching’ day announcement then?- By Steve Moore |

Is Harland & Wolff playing chicken with its lender Riverstone Partners?
Today was crunch day for Harland and Wolff’s (HARL) rotund CEO, John Wood, to deliver on the new finance agreement that he has been promising since November 2022. He failed and instead there was a garbled last minute RNS kicking the can down the road.- By Evil Banksta |

Saietta – interims “as it enters… exciting phase” or as it’s a ‘no-one watching’ day?…
Describing itself as a “multi-national business which designs, engineers and manufactures complete eDrive systems for electric vehicles”, Saietta Group (SED) states that it “announces its unaudited interim results, covering the six-month period ended 30 September 2023”. Hmmm – not even pretending to be pleased to announce the results?- By Steve Moore |

Letter to Aquis Regulation: Andrew Monk and VSA
It really is a disgrace that an Aquis listed adviser to Aquis companies can put out a results statement which breaks a basic accounting rule and not issue a correction. Yet that is exactly what Andrew Monk and VSA Capital (VSA) has done. Perhaps he thinks that rules don’t apply to gentlemen such as himself by dint of his education at Oriel College Oxford. I have written to the regulator- By Tom Winnifrith |

Eco Buildings Group – “Suspension of Director”, but not an investment concern
A concerning-sounding “Suspension of Director”-titled announcement at a concerning - the ‘no-one watching’ period between Christmas and the new year - time of the year for corporate announcements from Eco Buildings Group (ECOB). That seemed even more so with the announcement just stating that “Dominic Redfern has been suspended from his role as Executive Vice Chairman, pending further investigation by the company”. However, the following is why we are relaxed about the investment situation here.- By HotStockRockets |

Very Silly Andrew Monk issues piss poor numbers and makes howling schoolboy accounting error
Maybe the Andrew Monk Christmas carol was not the egomaniac’s biggest Yuletide Nightmare. Now, as an Aquis advisor, he faces the humiliation of having to reissue (piss poor) interims after making a howling schoolboy error. I guess they did not teach accounting for beginners at Oriel College Oxford. Let’s start with the schoolboy error.- By Tom Winnifrith |
