Thanks for that mrwoo, nothing for us small pi's but good to see it hasn't disappeared I guess.

Just come across this:

[tiredoldbroker] 02/10/2008 17:17

Erm, I think you'll find I've been suggesting for a long time now that the business would end up in the hands of a VCT with the existing shareholders getting nothing - it is hardly "news".

[mrwoo] 02/10/2008 16:23

So yesterday the CEO resigns to pursue a VCT-backed buyout of the business and today the company appoints administrators. Hmmm....

Another fine Mapstone mess?

a nice obituary

I am afraid so and as all my holdings in my SIPP cannot offset my considerable losses for tax purposes.
In hindsight blighted by poor management until the arrival of the present incumbent by which time it was too late

Well, it's September in a couple of days, and far from being the 4p or 5p that powertrader suggested in post 427, they aren't even 0.1p.

I have to ask how digging (post 432) can suggest the company is to publish results and a business update, given that it's 29 Aug now and their Interims to 30.4.08 only came out on 31 July !

I would suggest that the only thing that's kept the company in business is the bankers' decision to cap the invoice discounting facility; this prevented HLL from building huge stocks ahead of what's turned out to be a really poor summer season. Of course, with 2.3 billion shares in issue, it's fascinating to see anyone suggest a price target of 25-28p, which would value this unsuccessful ice cream maker at £600-650 million - or do I smell a really low quality ramp ?

There's no value left here for existing equity holders; the VCTs which hold the June 2008 Loan Stock have the rest of you over a barrel. Look at the terms - after 6 months, to be repaid with a 200% redemption premium and interest at 18%; the company to then issue shares to the value of £1m "at a subscription price to be set by mutual agreement" which you know even now is going to be a fraction of a fraction of a penny, leaving the VCTs with almost all the stock.

So maybe one or two rampers image they can drive up the price of the equity stub, but only if they can find suckers. Why not just do an honest days' work, instead of imagining your cut-price penny-ha'penny spivvery will get you anywhere ?

I'd ignore digging, he was pump and dumping HLL a short while ago
on this thread and will dump IMTE at any point.

A lot of people lost a lot of money in HLL on the last pump and dump.

[digging] 29/8/2008 09:23

mm you have him spot on.held these for yonks now.IMATE/IMTE i hear news is coming.results and business update which will show china is going mad for the new products and canadian side of online orders is booming.target 25-28p yes multi-bagger.

[mrwoo] 29/8/2008 09:18

My local Tesco is still stocking some of the Hill Station brand, too. So not dead yet, then....

[mrphil] 29/8/2008 07:49

Noticed some large tubs of Granelli on offer in Makro last week, hope they are managing to sell them.
