GOTCHA: David Beckham’s Guild Esports – now an after hours accusation that its auditors have misled investors: what a clusterfuck
The FCA duly replied to my letter explaining how Guild Esports (GILD) had mislead investors with its 7 AM Results investors. And hey presto in a not unrelated development, at 6.29 PM yesterday – aka no-one is watching O Clock – Guild was forced to issue a fess up RNS. But it was a shambles and effectively says that the auditors lied in the annual report. It just gets worse and worse.- By Tom Winnifrith |

There's Gold On the Beach for this Cash-Blessed Son of Macclesfield
Hello Share Servers. Don't you think this dreary winter seems longer than normal? But with Spring not that far away, many folks will be turning their thoughts to booking a holiday in the sun. Peering through shop windows, I’ve noticed high street travel agents, recently so blasted by Covid, are now seeing fuller chairs these days. Which brings me to a company with a name that says it all.- By Malcolm Stacey |

SHAMBLES: URU Metals – Late FY And Interim Results Finally Published But Shares suspended for a few more hours after IT cock up
John Zorbas’ AIM-listed URU Metals (URU) this morning finally got around to releasing results to March 2022 (!) and Interims to September 2022 this morning. Both were late, which is why the shares were suspended at the start of the year. The numbers are, of course, dreadful – but the shares remained suspended for a few more hours because the Company had not managed to publish either set of results on its website! What a shambles.- By Nigel Somerville, the Deputy Sheriff of AIM |

Kromek – interims argue “continues to look to the future with confidence”. Really?
Previously writing on radiation and bio-detection technology group Kromek (KMK), last month with the shares up to 11p I concluded that, with financial and valuation concerns, I avoided. Today it has announced a c. £2.5 million funding award “from the UK's innovation agency, Innovate UK” (of Versarien (VRS) infamy) and half-year ended 31st October 2022 results… and what of the shares in response currently a further near 10% lower to 9.35p?

Bombshell Bear Dossier from Gabriel Grego's QCM: The dark Side of Darktrace
Myself, Matt Earl, Steve Moore and Chris Bailey have all been bearish on the bastard child of the Autonomy fraud, that is to say Darktrace (DARK). Now our hero Gabriel Grego joins the party with a damning 70 page dossier. At 200p it remains a £1.44 billion short. Enjoy...- By Tom Winnifrith |

How is Wickes getting along?
I am not a regular at my local Wickes (WIX) store, but I do respect it as a business. Back in December 2021, I observed that “I think Travis Perkins (TPK) was smart to spin-off Wickes as last April was a pretty optimistic time for trade companies”. Thirteen months ago, I was talking about a share that had been shifted from c. 250 pence to about a two quid share price. However, today’s Wickes share price is only just over 150p.- By Chris Bailey |

Letter to the FCA: Directors of David Beckham’s Guild ESports have surely deceived and broken the law
I do not wish to be obsessive but yet again we find that companies on the Standard List, which is regulated by the FCA ( no sniggering at the back), as opposed to the AIM Sewer, are issuing abridged results which, as a result of highly material omission, actively deceive investors. Canadian Overseas Petroleum (COPL) is a pioneer of such deception but David Beckham’s Guild Esports (GILD) has today taken this to a new level. I have written to the FCA- By Tom Winnifrith |

Deltic is a big gamble on well testing outcome - but I can see why some are taking the risk due to the upside if successful
Deltic Energy (DELT) is now at a juncture where the next couple of weeks will either see it become a huge success, or like so many in the oil and gas sector before it, will become just another story of ‘what could have been’ had it had more luck with the drill bit.- By Gary Newman |

SHOCKING BOMBSHELL: Here is what Guild’s auditors actually said, which surely must be in an RNS
Earlier today I suggested that Guild Esports (GILD) had published abridged annual results via an RNS to hide a material uncertainty statement by its auditors. Well I was right but it is actually far worse than that. Here is what Guild is actually hiding. It is a bombshell- By Tom Winnifrith |

TPXimpact – I having stated ‘good luck’ on even its previously-downgraded outlook, now another trading warning (and worse!)
Previously writing on TPXimpact (TPX), in October with the shares at 32.5p I noted director share purchases to try to reassure the market rather than of real conviction?, following that this ‘digital transformation’ provider struggling with its own transformation!. The shares had recovered to last close at 46p, but now a “Q3 Trading Update”.

Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures chucks £750,000 down a related party, technically insolvent, black hole
Oh dear, oh dear, the Sith Lord Zak Mir’s Lift Global Ventures (LFT) becomes more of a joke every day. Its first investment, when it was a media consolidation play, was Zak’s own company brown envelopes company Miriad, a deal which broke all sorts of rules and stank. Now there is another related party deal, as Lift goes into energy. You could not make this up.- By Tom Winnifrith |

David Beckham’s Naughty Guild Esports is hiding something from you all: a material uncertainty and looming bankruptcy perhaps?
Guild Esports (GILD) has today published piss poor annual results for the year to September 30 but it has not published the full notes to the accounts or the annual report and will not do so until later today and then only on its website. So what is it hiding? I suggest that its auditors may have flagged up a material uncertainty and that is what is being hidden. I have asked the company if this material omission from the results is what it is hiding but it has declined to comment. Here are the maths on how close Guild is to bankruptcy.- By Tom Winnifrith |

ScotGold: What is it with the BBC and ramping shares in shite, almost insolvent, miners from the Celtic Fringe with fake news?
First it was Anglesey Mining (AYM) which is in desperate need of a bailout placing and where the BBC rode to the rescue with some ramping based on fake news about its hole in the ground in Ynys Mon as I showed HERE. Now it is Scotgold (SGZ) which, as I demonstrated HERE, is now only heavily in debt but has run out of – other folks cash following FALLING production and so needs its own a bailout ASAP.

Sopheon – trading update, how valuable is its “SaaS transition” proving?
Previously writing on innovation management software and services company Sopheon (SPE), 17 months ago with the shares rising above 925p I concluded that I wasn’t prepared to pay a market cap of more than £100 million at that stage of ‘SaaS transition’ here. The shares most recently closed at 625p but are currently up to 680p on the back of a trading update. So what’s the situation now?
