Previously writing on Revolution Bars Group (RBG), in October with the shares falling below 11p I concluded that I could understand why – with it’s admitted challenging trading environment and I questioning an argued “exciting and transformative” acquisition. The shares last closed at 7.4p and today an “H1 Trading Update”.

Previously writing on bars operator Revolution Bars Group (RBG), in August with the shares up to 15p I noted “pleased to announce” update, but how’s the net cash generation?. Now results for its year ended 2nd July 2022 and an acquisition.

Operator of 69 bars across the UK, trading mainly under the Revolution and Revolución de Cuba brands, Revolution Bars Group (RBG) states that it “is pleased to announce a trading and property related investment update for the year ended 2 July 2022”. With the shares having currently responded up a few percent to 15p, how ‘pleasing’ is the update?

Operator of 67 bars trading mainly under the Revolution and Revolucion de Cuba brands, Revolution Bars Group (RBG) has made a “Trading and Property Update” announcement – and what of the shares currently more than 7% higher in response, at 16.25p?...

Previously writing on UK operator of 67 bars, Revolution Bars Group (RBG), in November with the shares around 25p I reiterated caution with staffing and input cost pressures, a return to refurbishments and “Christmas bookings have been building more slowly than we would normally expect”. So what now from a trading update for the group’s half-year ended 1st January 2022?…

UK operator of 67 bars, Revolution Bars Group (RBG) has announced results for its year ended 3rd July 2021 and that it, “continuing from the positive like-for-like growth before the pandemic… are excited to have seen LFL growth in FY22 since 19 July, when restrictions fully relaxed in England, at 14% versus the comparable period of FY20, the last normal period of trade”. So why are the shares currently more than 6% lower at around 25p?…

Revolution Bars Group (RBG) has made a trading update including that since 19th July England covid restrictions removal to 2nd October “same site sales growth of 17% when compared to the same period 2 years ago, when the business traded normally pre Covid” and “costs have continued to be well controlled resulting in good profit generation from these sales”, with the shares currently up by more than 12% to above 25p in response.

Previously writing on Revolution Bars Group (RBG), in March with the shares at 29p I was cautious with assumptions on government restrictions having proven dangerous and also the debt and prior challenges. Now the self-styled “leading UK operator of 66 premium bars, trading under the Revolution and Revolución de Cuba brands, is pleased to announce the results of its Bookbuild launched yesterday”. Hmmm…

Previously writing on Revolution Bars Group (RBG) in December with the shares back up above 22p I questioned what state the balance sheet would be in by the ‘path towards a gradual recovery’. Today an update from the company…

I start with two pieces of good news. 96 more strawberry plants are on the way but I have now planted 81 in the patch I have created. The target is to get the last of batch 1 planted tonight. I promise a photo over the weekend of that and other horticultural endeavours. Secondly we have now raised 61% of the £48,000 we need to ensure the survival of Woodlarks. Tomorrow my daughter and I do 25-30 1,185 metre laps of the fields here. Think of the pain and please donate NOW HERE. I then discuss the odd but good US jobs data and whether it will replicate here, Revolution Bars (RBG) and Bidstack (BIDS).

The fund raise is at 20p and there is a very real case for having a go. But there are risks: the truth is that no-one has a scooby as to how this company’s 57 bars and clubs will trade post lockdown.

Previously writing on Revolution Bars (RBG) I was cautious as it argued “another step closer to being well-positioned to emerge from this crisis”. It now updates arguing “decisive action will enable us to emerge from this crisis in a financially stable position”...

No longer short of expectations in every conceivable weather environment?...

I suggest listening to my Neil Woodford scandal bonus bearcast first HERE but I have another bone to pick with Susan Searle, the chairman of Woodford Patient Capital Trust (WPCT) on how she has screwed investirs today. Then I look nat Red Emperor (RMP), 88 Energy (88E), Pantheon Resources (PANR) and at Cabot Energy (CAB). Finally a look at the latest woes at Revolution Bars (RBG) - you really would have thought that Britain's thirstiest share blogger would have nailed this as his specialist subject but it appears not. If you enjoyed this podcast please support the EIGHT rogue bloggers for Woodlarks with a small donation HERE

And I commend to you Gary's fine piece on Eqtec (EQT).

Previously writing just over a year ago on Revolution Bars (RBG) it was on it going from ‘platform to be confident about our prospects’ to profit warning in less than 3 months. Then heading towards 130p, the shares jumped a couple of months later on a 200p per share possible offer approach. However, an offer was voted down by shareholders and the shares have subsequently fallen back towards 150p before a Trading Update today…

Britain's top share blogger posted a few comments here late last night. Did I say Chaka KIhan and Cheese! But one in particular merits a wider audience. Paul respinded to my comments on Fairpoint (FRP) and Revolution Bars (RBG) HERE. Paul notes:

First up I must congratulate Paul Scott for sticking with and, I think averaging down, on Revolution Bars (RBG) which earlier this week received a tentative 200p share offer. Paul was right and I was wrong. It happens. I guess my, almost teetotal existence and his extensive field work gave him the edge. Only kidding - it was a great call by Paul and one orf the reasons why he is such a great share blogger. I am sure his session with Nigel Wray at UK Investor 2018 (as well as his live bearcast with me) will justify attendance on its own. But just as a reminder we do not get it all right, here is a classic Scott twitter outburst, regarding Fairpoint (FRP) which said that it would be calling in administrators today.

A “Trading Update” announcement from Revolution Bars (RBG). With the shares having been falling from above 210p earlier this week, what the chances that it is positive news?...

Hello Share Twangers. Though not a revolutionary sort of person, I do rather like an intriguing name when it comes to stumping up for shares. Revolution Bars (RBG) has a romantic ring to it, don’t you think?

Hello Share Turners. Today’s selection for a company worth looking at is not one that will be getting much custom from me. I’m far too old to be grooving into the night.
