Welcome aboard skyhigh, certainly not too late in my opinion, this little co. is set to grow and the sp along with it. Since I first bought over 12 months ago there have been many days with no trades, so patience is needed but I'm sure it will be rewarded. Good luck.

Comment from Naked trader at the weekend
" Litebulb (LBB) really is a penny share, indeed under a penny and looking for 50% upside, valued at only £11m, it's a company supplying niche products and marketing to a variety of big clients including Debenhams, BA and Audi.
Looks a well run machine and its current rating could be on the cheap side. had lightbulb moment and bought a million shares. However of course a million shares only set me back around 7 grand!! "

The SP rise will be gradual but solid imo.
Looking forward to the updated broker notes and revised targets
LiteBulb is 'delighted' with the strong revenue growth achieved in 2013 which was in line with its internal plans.
The group says 2013 was a transformational year as it made three acquisitions: Bluwstuff Group in January, Rizon Studios (now Litebulb Creative) in March and Meld Group in November.
It says all have delivered sales ahead of internal expectations. This has helped LiteBulb to grow revenues for 2013 to £8.0m (FY2012: £3.0m), a 167% improvement over FY2012.
The loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for 2013 is expected to be approximately £0.6m, a significant improvement on £1.4m in the year ended 31 December 2012.
Chief executive Simon McGivern said "We are delighted with the strong revenue growth achieved this year, which is in line with our internal plans and gives us a solid platform to work from for 2014. The acquisitions made during 2013 have proved successful and we continue to seek further acquisitions that will help us realise our strategic goals.
"At the same time, the management team is focused on growing the underlying businesses, which are benefiting from the scale the combined Group brings. The increasingly attractive product ranges and services we provide are further deepening our strong relationships with retailers and as we grow we expect to achieve increased buying power with our suppliers. With an extensive pipeline we are confident of continuing positive news and look forward to providing further updates to the market."

Good news RNS released this morning
LiteBulb Group Limited
("LiteBulb" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Final Results for the 18 months ended 31 December 2013
LiteBulb (AIM: LBB), the brand and product development specialist, announces audited results for the 18 months ended 31 December 2013.
During the period the Company announced a change in accounting reference date from 30 June to 31 December. The statutory results for the 18 months ended 31 December 2013 are provided in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, however the Company believes that the results for continuing operations for the 12 months ended 31 December 2013 are more helpful for investors.
Financial highlights for continuing operations (12 months to December 2013)
· Revenue of £8.08m
· Gross profit of £3.28m
· EBITDA loss (before exceptional items) of £0.59m
· Adjusted loss before tax (before exceptional items) of £0.92m
· Cash at bank at 31 December 2013 of £1.8m (30 June 2012: £0.12m)
Operational highlights
· Acquisition of Bluw (Feb 2013), Rizon Studios (March 2013) and Meld (Nov 2013)
§ All acquisitions integrating well and benefitting from Group synergies
· Strong performance from Rizon Studios
§ 10 new clients signed including Disney EMEA, Nickelodeon & Merlin Entertainment
§ Expanded service offering through talent acquisition
· Litebulb Product division integrating Meld, Bluw products, and existing LiteBulb products
· Good pipeline of new licence deals including National Geographic and Star Wars
· Three year deal to produce Mary Berry range of cooking products, launching in spring 2014
Simon McGivern, Chief Executive of LiteBulb, commented: "This last 12 months has seen exciting progress in terms of dramatic growth of the Group. Three years ago our business was turning over less than £1.8m in revenues, whereas in the last year we have built revenues to over £8m. This growth will be further enhanced by acquisition and we will continue to actively seek strategic targets that will help provide significant scale to the Group and returns to our shareholders. LiteBulb's relationships with blue chip retailers strengthen as we grow, and with an extensive forward order book we are confident that we will deliver further significant growth in 2014 and move into profitability."
The Group's Report and Accounts for the 18 months to 31 December 2013 will be posted to shareholders this week and is available on the Group's website www.litebulbgroup.com. The Group's AGM will be held at 10am on 22 April 2014 at the offices of Fladgate LLP, 16 Great Queen Street, London, WC2B 5DG.

LiteBulb is currently in discussions with a number of blue-chip retailers regarding the product ranges and these discussions have already lead to a successful contract with HMV for the first delivery of the apparel ranges.
Terry Byrne, chairman of Iconic Images, owner of the Terry O'Neill archive, commented: "We made the decision to work with the industry-leading team at LiteBulb because of their experience, track record and understanding of intellectual property.

More excellent news released this morning....
LiteBulb, the branded product developer, announces that it has recently finalised orders totalling over £4m from a number of major UK retailers, including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Boots and Next.
Chief executive Simon McGivern said: "The finalisation of orders totalling over £4m demonstrates the dramatic step change this business has seen and how transformative the acquisitions have been - particularly when you consider that we recorded £8m sales for the whole of 2013. "As a larger business we are gaining further traction with big name UK retailers and our ability to develop such a wide range of innovative new product ranges is proving hugely popular with our customers. The Mary Berry range is a great example of this where we've taken Mary's strong brand and created a popular range of homeware that we expect to see generating over £1m of sales within the first year of launch. "The business is growing strongly and given that we are entering our busiest period, as retailers look towards Christmas, we are on track to deliver further significant growth this year."
