I have been offered shares before they come to market in a company called UBET2WIN PLC.they are being offered through a company called catalyst investment group i have never heard of this company has anyone else if so positive or negative.your help required cheers woodie

If you buy for 3.25p and sell on the next positive news, still very risky. I have done a little research and think there site is not doing too good. Here are the stats:

Estimated Visitors : 6,500 visits in the previous 30 days.
Traffic Rank for ubet2win.co.uk : 992,892 down 184,785 Average over 3 months
Reach per million users: 0.5% (down 41%) over 3 months
Page Views per user: 6.8 pages (up 79%) over 3 months

This information is from alexa.com and traficestimator.com...
I will be keeping an eye on these figures and how they change

tonker the above is part of the last rns that was released it was not positive hence the sell off, there might not be a positive rns for some time.

I wouldn't touch this one at all. The website is very poor, the markets they offer are even worse, and to date as far as I know they haven't promoted the site at all.
To have not got themselves listed on any odds comparison site to date is extremely poor in my view.

This is one share where I was worried about selling too early, but it would appear that I have done the right thing for once.... I bought in the float, and sold them at about 11p if I remember correctly, banking a good profit for a few days investment.

However, in true style, I re-invested the entire proceeds in "Israeli Acquisitor 1 PLC" on Ofex, which has gone south since floatation, with a sell price half what I bought them for.

I still have a few UBT shares in an EIS scheme, I only wish they (the EIS manager) had the foresight to sell them at the peak as well!!!

There needs to be a lot of good news to get this one moving again, and like Woodie and Trigger45, I can't see where the good news is going to come from. However, hopefully the Management will have something up their sleeves !!!

NM

neil where did you here of Israeli Acquisitor 1 PLC ?

"Israeli Acquisitor I" floated on Ofex just over a year ago. I was sent a prospectus by, if I remember correctly, Ruegg & Co, whom I have dealt with in the past. This Company is a shell, with the intention of investing in an Israel related company, but no deals have been struck to date. The price has fallen back due to the lack of newsflow, but one good deal could make investors a few quid richer I think.... Investing is really an act of faith in the Directors, as with all shell companies..... One Director is Gavin Burnell, who has quite a good reputation in the city as a young whizzkid, and this caught my interest initially.

I had hoped to turn in a quick profit on the back of a quick deal, but it is turning into a longer term hold than I expected!! Still, I think it will come good one day.

s/price marked down, spread at the moment 45%

taken a new look at this today as it has reached a new low, still not tempted at this price, no good news has been released by the company since my last post.it is now trading below the price it came to market at 2.5 pence still not good value.dyor

now only 0.25p to sell?

Good grief, it does look very bad for UBT......

I still have about 70,000 in an EIS scheme, I should have sold them long ago.

Time for the management to prove themselves, and steer the business out of this hole.

neil i think it is to late unless shareholders cough up the website is taking to long to get any serious revenue good luck

Ubet2win plc ('the Company')



The Company has now carried out its review of the performance of its racecourse
operations. As a result of continued poor performance it has decided to sell off
the remainder of its English racecourse pitches and reports that it has sold its
pitches at Ascot and Aintree for the sum of 22,500.The remaining English
pitches have been agreed for sale completing in early 2007. The total sale
proceeds of the pitches will be 160,000 - which will include the proceeds of
the pitches at Cheltenham and York as announced at the time of the interim
results - compared to a book value of 335,000. The turnover generated by these
pitches totalled 290,000 in the last year. Unfortunately the sale of these
assets will result in a substantial write down in their value on the Company
balance sheet, mainly due to the poor performance of the pitches in 2006.


Regarding the Irish pitches it has been decided to only operate at the major
Irish meetings which are making a significant contribution to the company. The
remainder of the pitches will be sold.


The Company will now concentrate on further development of its on-line gaming
business where the Company sees its future and substantial growth, and the
proceeds for the sale of the pitches will assist in this process.


As part of this plan, the Company has agreed with Betsol, an on-line gaming
solution business, to put in place the systems necessary to allow the company to
establish & operate an affiliate scheme for on-line gaming. The Company has had
numerous requests from companies to become affilited

Ubet2win Plc ('Ubet2win' or the 'Company')

Trading Update and Strategic Review of Operations


On 21 November 2006, the Company announced continued poor performance of its
racecourse operations, the disposal of its remaining English pitches and the
decision only to operate the Irish pitches at major meetings.

The Company is due to announce its results for the year ended 31 December 2006
and the indications are now that the Company will report a significant loss for
the year.

In particular, the remaining Irish pitches during this period incurred
continuing losses. Given the continuing difficulties in the industry as a whole
the Board resolved to cease operating all their pitches this year and is
considering a disposal of those pitches. Accordingly, it is in discussions with
Mr Gerry French, a Director of the Company in this regard and were such a
transaction to proceed with Mr Gerry French, it would be a related party
transaction and require to be dealt with in accordance with the AIM Rules.

Similarly, the online betting side of the business, whilst achieving turnover in
excess of 1.6 million in the period, has traded at a loss and the Board has
resolved to undertake a strategic review of the future of the business. Given
the lack of working capital, online operations have been significantly curtailed
this year.

The Group has indebtedness of some 570,000 and will seek to negotiate with the
respective parties (including Mr Gerry French) regarding those debts.

The Company hopes to make a further announcement in due course regarding the
outcome of its stategic review and the renegotiation of its indebtedness.

Well, that looks like the end of this Company to me....
No business, and no credibility....
I still hold quite a lot of shares in this disaster through an ARC EIS scheme, guess I have another tax loss to claim !!!

neil sorry to hear you are still holding them,why not see if you can ditch them before it is tp late worth a try.

Hi Woodie,

I did think about telling them to sell, but it doesn't make sense financially.

I think the original stake (circa 70,000 shares) cost about 1000, on which I got 20% (200) tax relief.

At a selling price of 0.25p, the shares are worth about 175 less dealing costs, but I would have to repay the tax relief, so it isn't worth it......

neil still cant understand pis buying in now

I know, with the price spiking up a little it would appear that there is a bit of buying going on..... Strange time to be purchasing, maybe they know something we don't !!!!!

Ubet2win announces unsustainable losses

Ubet2win has labelled its current position as 'unsustainable' after posting a pre-tax loss of 925,000 for the year ending 31 December 2006. Chairman Gerry French cited continuing difficulties with its racecourse business and customer acquisition costs as reasons for its loss, despite a growth in turnover to 1.7 million.

In a statement to the market, chairman Gerry French said, "It is most disappointing to be reporting such heavy losses during what is still very much a time of development for the company.

"Due to continuing difficulties with the racecourse part of the business, and because of the heavy costs incurred in marketing and developing the online gaming aspect of the business, heavy losses were incurred in the year. The losses recorded were unsustainable and as a result it was decided that a wide ranging review of all aspects of the company's business should be undertaken. This is still ongoing," he continued.

"It is hoped that the ongoing review, and decisions arising from it, will result in much improved performance in the coming year."

still looks grim.
