Debi Adeyemi

Director

Q. Hi - could you provide a high level analysis of those £1.5m of current assets ?

Q. Do you have a cashflow statement for each of the last three years, and maybe a forecast P&L, BS and CF for the next year?

Q. One of your answers regarding why you need to raise debt finance talks about returns to investors - are you intending on paying returns to shareholders from current net assets or the loans raised?

Q. Have you reinvested in the company, the considerable net profits achieved over last 2 years then (that necessitates the borrowing here)?

A. We have grown organically as a business thus far.

Q. there is nothing on your web-site about previous customers, please can you name some of your major customers, what are your income streams? % of on-going contracts, % of new?

A. 78% ongoing contracts . Customers' record retention/disclosure are held per NDA's & GDPR .

Q. You was also a director of Mogwai Technology which was dissolved due to liquidation in 2015 according to companies house.So wondering what happened and is there a connection with this company? thanks

A. That was electively closed down at the time. No adverse reasons otherwise would reflect in current business score ratings of director as maintained by independent business credit rating agencies. Business credit score records have been consistently high for as long as BBP has been in operation.

Q. Hi - with all your involvement in other ventures, how much time do you actually spend on developing Blueberry?

A. BBP is our primary business venture.As an entrepreneur, I engage in community activities in my spare time in a bid to give back . 3 or 4 meetings a year in a voluntary Non Executive Director role..

A. UK wide coverage.

Q. Hi - how many consultants / technical people do you employ?

Our main strength is a business model that accommodates a flexible reaction to market changes.

Q. Are existing customers requesting or even interested in the new technologies you are preparing to developed?

Q. What happened to the 0.4M interest 03/18 and what’s the latest forecast Turnover and Profit Before Tax for 03/19, Thanks,

A. That was for infrastructure leased at the time to deliver some specific piece of work.
YTD Turnover = £3.38m
YTD PBT = £2.85m

Q. Hi Debi and congratulations on achievement thus far. One obvious question is the necessity to raise funds here, with about 2mill of net profit over last 2 years alone.

A. Borrowing to service business growth is a highly recommended working capital management strategy to adopt for any financially savvy business that's growing steadily.

Q. Why the need to borrow with the V Large profits?

A. Debt finance secured by our own PG for our investors which would be repaid back to them on time and on target adds a different type of value to our business which we welcome.
