Previously writing on Escape Hunt escape rooms and Boom ‘battle bars’ company XP Factory (XPF), in January with the shares at 17.75p I questioned what’s the cash flow detail and continued to avoid. The shares most recently closed at 17p and what of now a latest trading update?

Earlier this month on company describing itself as “a leading UK experiential leisure business operating the Escape Hunt and Boom Battle Bar brands” XP Factory (XPF), with the shares at 12.75p I suggested if there was positive financial news it would have said so. Now what of a results announcement for the first half of 2022?

Describing itself as “a leading UK experiential leisure business operating the Escape Hunt and Boom Battle Bar brands”, XP Factory (XPF) states that it provides an update on progress and that it has acquired Boom Battle Bar Cardiff. So what of a current 12.75p share price, £19.2 million market cap?

Previously writing on a “trading update” from XP Factory (XPF), in January with the shares at 30.5p I questioned what about the bottom-line result and balance sheet? Today an AGM Statement from the company – and the shares currently further down to below 18p. So what’s the situation now?...

Since I previously wrote on the company in August, this ‘escape-the-room experiences’ business has changed its name from Escape Hunt to XP Factory (XPF) following an acquisition of Boom Battle Bars (“combining competitive socialising activities with cocktails and street food”). The shares are down from 38.5p to currently 30.5p – though that represents a near 9% rise today on the back of a trading update. So what’s the story now?…
