ADVFN's market cap figure is very wrong. Approx 160m shares in issue = approx £10m valuation @ 6p.

Don't hold you breath!

[tradermel] 30/3/2015 07:40

I wonder if todays RNS will liven this sleepy little thread?

Richard Griffiths increasing his CNMI holding to 12.95%



I track the rest of Richard Griffiths holdings on the WAM thread

Perhaps this is why no one has any confidence in the management of the company. Only CNMI would suggest that when less than 2/3 of share holders are confident enough to take up an offer it was a successful placing!

As for directors putting in £163k that wouldn't even buy a bottom of the range Oyster!

The remaining 8,513,475 New Ordinary Shares that were the subject of the Open Offer will be subscribed for by First Eastern Holdings pursuant to the underwriting agreement. It has also subscribed for 5,343,336 New Ordinary Shares, being its entitlement under the Open Offer, and will therefore be subscribing for a total of 13,856,811 New Ordinary Shares representing, in aggregate, 57.74 per cent. of the total number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued. In addition FE Marina Investments has subscribed for 5,999,375 New Ordinary Shares being its entitlement under the Open Offer, representing 25 per cent. of the total number of New Ordinary Shares to be issued.

directors are putting in £163,368.80

[darias] 20/6/2014 16:17

We did not take up the offer this time.

When the directors do not take up their full entitlement it seems that they are not even confident in their own management!

[ukinvestor220] 20/6/2014 14:17

there right there! plus fundraising at 10p

[russman] 10/5/2014 09:58

So - RNS must be wrong -

Whatever

[darias] 09/5/2013 06:59

The price was 6p. Whatever it was still free money.

[sleepy] 08/5/2013 15:44

Darias
I thought new shares cost 6.5p.
You may find you can only sell c£300 worth at 7p

[darias] 08/5/2013 08:33

Picked up our allocation of shares plus the extra we asked for today.

Price of allocated shares 0.6p current sell price 0.7p. Cant understand why peeps did not take up their allocation. Seems like free money to me and no charges on the deal!.

[darias] 23/4/2013 09:23

I think you are being unfair. They finished contracts and construction on time and to budget. They have sold many of their berths and been quick to respond to different business practices. I.E management rather than construction. They have seen the potential in the far east and gone for it.

It is not their fault that there has been a global recession which has clearly affected the luxury yacht market.

The company has demonstrated that it sees the problems that it has and finds a source of funds.

The eastern company which took a share is a case in point.

[pillion] 21/4/2013 12:27

I have watched this company for yonks on account of the Camper name

However it is just a name that they are leasing for purposes of prestige

As PUG's lucid comment points out, the business skills of the directors have not yet proved enough for me to part with my ££££

No advice intended

[pugugly] 21/4/2013 11:30

Darias :> You are right on basic assumption re mooring requirement BUT CNMI management have, (certainly in the past) proved that they have been unable to generate (imo) sufficient cash flow to induce me to invest.

Has anything changed ??

[darias] 21/4/2013 11:01

Long time since I posted on these. I have recommended to the club that we take our allocation under the open offer. There are many luxury yachts on the seas which need a secure place to moor. CNMI are providing those places on a global basis.

There is not another marina company which has such a global reach.

[darias] 29/6/2012 07:33

Well Maris does not think so.

[djalan] 18/4/2012 21:41

What a dog

[djalan] 28/3/2012 21:34

Glad I kept clear of this one

[darias] 11/9/2011 08:22

Surely this should have been issued as an RNS!

I have been disappointed with this investment. I can see serious growth in the large yacht marina business but Campers do not seem to have grasped the nettle.

[man siarad] 10/9/2011 12:22

Always very quiet on here. Perhaps worth drawing attention to this, though, from early August - CNMI clearly planning to expand into the potentially-lucrative Far Eastern market.
