Why all the noise?, page-21

It's hard to entirely put aside personal frustration born of being a quarter million in the hole after 4 years from misplaced and naive expectations of bigger and wider success coming earlier, but that is the reality, so we look ahead.

At the time they sought to rejuvenate the Board it was a good sign that the company recognised it lacked the right skill-set.

The new BOD claims to have the right skills, experience, connections, attitude and enthusiasm, including running successful start-ups, (and some buying on-market) and so, OBJ appears to have got what it lacked.

Have to put the past to rest and see whether their appointment bears fruit.

Got a sense of veiled frustration at the deals already done and that they will markedly improve them in future negotiations.

Made me reflect that OBJ was really a bit of a 'Mom and Pop' business, despite Glyn's 'front of house' efforts providing the appearance of depth that the business did not really possess.

Since the tech is good, and some of it even has a market... it makes sense that the new guys should know the difference and succeed with the marketable tech.

Bodyguard in particular must look absolutely ripe for the plucking to a group like this.

I was also impressed with the background and demeanour of our new Chairman, the latter for reasons I couldn't quite put my finger on - maybe genuineness?

OBJ also desperately needed more resources, not just different skills, so is the best equipped it has ever been.

Waiting is hard, but, another year or so and we'll see if they were as good as we hope.
