Curious to know why investors continue to hold this share. No dividend and no growth in the SP

Plastics Capital (PLA) Earnings-Reaction to Keep an Eye

Good that they were able to get this away at this price and depending on when they buy the US$ good that they are taking advantage of the relative strength of the pound.
That said rather irritated not only are they breaking one of the cardinal rules of corporate finance by cutting the dividend when they are saying business going well but also gives the impression of inconsistency

I see share price down a bit today which I suppose is understandable given the use of the word broadly in terms of meeting market expectations. I see that Digital Look has forecast PBT of £4.6m for year ending 3/17 which of course would be a big step up from the £1.1m of the year ending 3/16.
I am comfortable with my holding and at the current price do not see myself buying or selling; the general tome was positive and they are doing with Palagan what needs to be done.

Been busy this week so could not go to Monday presentation-did anyone go?
Also only now have had the chance to look at figures and for life of me cannot understand what they have done in the cash flow where the figures for cash flow from financing activities do not add up and do not understand what they have done with changes in cash…does anyone understand?
Good that they appear confident and refreshing to have no comment on Brexit. In the last FY 44% of sales were ex UK and Asia and North America combined just under a quarter so geographic diversity pretty good.
As they say they have put the foot on the gas in terms of capex-£1.9m in the last semester not far short of the £2.3m for the full 2015/16 FY.
My heart sunk when I saw the discussion of acquisitions but calmed down a bit when I saw none likely in the next 12 months.
Need to watch leverage..OK for now. Incidentally they are very sloppy. In these interims they say they increased the Barclays facilities by £4m and on July 4th they said the increase was £6m. Is that how you all see it?
I did lighten up earlier this week when the price got to 120p and will keep under review.

a very good question Charo; I can only assume it is not deemed insider trading as the director in question is not going to blot his copybook by doing something that breaks the wording of the regulation and would I am sure be reluctant to do something that breaks the spirit.
That said I do not understand why he was allowed to buy here when he is not allowed to buy in the closed period up to results-especially as a reading of the RNS suggests it was a v good deal for PLA and hence the share price increase. However I have enough other things going on that I do not have the time at the moment but appreciate the views of others.
I assume Synpac imports a good deal given comment on how £ deval will hit trading margins.

Specialist manufacturer Plastics Capital (AIM: PLA) has released an encouraging set of results and is looking to move into expansion mode. With 45 per cent of sales exported from the UK, the recent devaluation of sterling will be a help. Management also feels that the business is now on a stable footing after encountering tough conditions in the resources sector and emerging markets during recent periods.

High yield share price erosion.

With the benefit of hindsight the company may have been better paying less dividends and not going for a placing.

The institutions now suffering a loss on the placement the yield hasn't made up the shortfall.

ECM and PFL although distributors have suffered a similar fate albeit they have high borrowings. The high yields has not prevented a share price erosion.

My change of stance here was the disappointing update on the acquisition I expected the acquisition to be earnings enhancing and taking into account higher overheads I don't think it has been. More shares in issue have diluted my expectations. Fortunately I sold out with a profit on day of results.

Jed yes, and if the Thread Header isn't then I would certainly think that the Internal Rate of Return of 672% on Smokey Hills is!

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD

ENDED 30th SEPTEMBER 2006



HIGHLIGHTS



Green Light for Smokey Hills PGM Project from Bankable Feasibility Study



Platinum Australia Limited (ASX: PLA) (AIM: PLAA) announces that the final
results from the Smokey Hills Bankable Feasibility Study confirms that the
project is extremely attractive and very robust and able to generate returns of
over 70% on the Base Case assumptions and in excess 600% using July average
metal prices and exchange rate.



New Order Right Cession for Smokey Hills PGM Project



In September PLA announced that it had received ministerial approval for the
cession of the New Order Prospecting Right covering the Smokey Hills PGM Project
to PhokaThaba Platinum Pty Ltd ("PTP"), the Joint Venture Company in which PLA
is earning an 80% interest.



New Order Right Issued for Kalahari Platinum Project



In September PLA also announced that a New Order Prospecting Right had been
issued for the Kalahari Platinum Project. The company commenced drilling during
the month and currently has three drill rigs working on the site with a fourth
rig due in the near future.



PLA Mandates Standard Bank to arrange Funding for the Smokey Hills Project



In early October PLA announced that Standard Bank of South Africa had been
mandated by the company and its South African subsidiary, PhokaThaba Platinum
Pty Ltd ("PTP") to arrange the Project Debt Financing for the Smokey Hills
Project. The debt funding to comprise of a ZAR220 million facility for PTP. The
balance of ZAR60 million of capital required to develop the project to be
provided as equity by PLA and its joint venture partners





OPERATIONS



PLA operations were focused on the Smokey Hills PGM Project and the Kalahari
Platinum Project in South Africa. In Australia Sally Malay Mining ("SMY")
continued to work on updating the previous BFS on the Panton PGM Project as part
of PLA's joint venture with SMY.




Smokey Hills Platinum Project



The Smokey Hills PGM Project is located on the eastern limb of the Bushveld
Complex in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, 300 kilometres north east of
Johannesburg. The Project is adjacent to and up dip from the existing Modikwa
Platinum Mine owned by African Rainbow Minerals and Anglo Platinum.



PLA has signed a formal Sale Agreement with Smokey Hills Platinum (Pty) Ltd ("
SHP") to acquire up to 80% of the Project through the staged acquisition of 100%
of SHP. PLA acquires an initial 74% interest in SHP by providing $3.4 million
for SHP to fund the purchase of an 80% interest in the Project. The balance of
26% in SHP will be acquired for 15 million fully paid shares in PLA. The balance
of the Project is held 5% by the local community and 15% by Corridor Mining
Resources, a Company owned by the Limpopo Provincial Government.



PLA commenced a resource definition drilling program on the project in July 2005
and a Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS") in October 2005. The BFS was completed
during the first part of the quarter and a full summary of the results are
provided in Table 1 below while the underlying assumption relating to metal
prices and exchange rates are provided in Table 2.



GRD Minproc (Pty) Ltd are the Lead Engineers for the BFS, while Snowden are
responsible for the Resource Estimate and Mining Study, SRK Consulting for
Tailings and Hydro-geological studies and Africa Geo-Environmental Services for
the Environmental Study.

* The Base Case Rhodium Price has been increased from US$1,000 used in the
preliminary figures to US$1,500 in the final figures as a result of review of
projected metal prices obtained from various industry sources.



The Company envisages commencing operations at Smokey Hills initially as an open
cut and then progressing to an underground mine. During the initial phase while
the plant is under construction PLA proposes to mine ore for toll treatment
through a nearby plant to generate early cash flow. This phase would last for
approximately 12 months after which ore would be treated through the on-site
plant producing a flotation concentrate for sale to any one of a number of
smelters in South Africa, the nearest of which is less than 100 kilometres
distant.



Dependent on the issuing of the necessary permits PLA proposes to commence
construction and mining operations in early 2007 with plant commissioning
occurring in late 2007. The company commenced the preliminary engineering on the
project during the quarter to allow the long lead items, primarily the mills, to
be ordered in the current quarter.





Kalahari Platinum Project



The Kalplats Project is located 330 km west of Johannesburg and has an
established (Indicated and Inferred) resource of 3.4 million ounces 3E PGM,
including a high grade resource of 1.4 million ounces 3E PGM at a grade of 3.6 g
/t 3E PGM. PLA believes that there is significant potential to increase the
size of the resource as all deposits appear to be open at depth and along strike
and PLA have identified numerous targets from geochemical survey work and a high
resolution aeromagnetic survey completed by PLA in early 2005.



Under the Kalplats Joint Venture Agreement, PLA is earning up to 49% of the
Kalplats Project from ARMplats by completing a Bankable Feasibility Study
including further drilling and providing the right for the project to use the
Panton metallurgical process ("Panton Process").



PLA and ("ARMplats") have also applied for a prospecting right covering an area
approximately 20 kilometres to the north and 18 kilometres to the south of their
South African Kalahari Platinum Project ("Kalplats") area, increasing the total
strike length held by the parties to almost 50 kilometres.



PLA and ARMplats will each have a 50 percent contributing interest in the new
area and PLA will manage the exploration program which will target extensions of
the known Kalplats style of Platinum Group Metal ("PGM") mineralisation.



Following the issue of a New Order Prospecting Right covering the project in
September PLA commenced the PFS drilling program which will comprise
approximately 22,000 metres of drilling and by early October had three drill
rigs working on the site. PLA anticipates completing this initial drilling
program in early 2007 allowing an updated resource to be estimated by March/
April 2007. A further program of 25,000 metres will then be drilled to further
define and update the resource as part of the BFS due for completion by the end
of 2007."



PLA has appointed GRD Minproc as the Lead Engineer for the Kalplats Project and
expects to appoint further consultants in the coming month. An initial program
of metallurgical testwork has already been undertaken with results indicating
that a recovery of 80% can be achieved into a saleable PGM concentrate.



PLA believes that the existing resource will support the development of an open
cut project producing 200,000 oz 3E PGM (platinum + palladium + gold) per annum.
Further success from the drilling program could increase this to 300,000 oz 3E
PGM per annum, making it a truly world class deposit.





Panton Platinum Palladium Project



The Panton Project is located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 60
km north of Halls Creek and 60 km south of the Sally Malay site. The Project
has a (Measured + Indicated + Inferred) resource of 14.3 Mt at 5.2 g/t 7E PGM
containing 2.4 million ounces 7E PGM, including a high grade resource of 10.1 Mt
at 6.1 g/t 7E PGM containing 2 million oz 7E PGM.



Sally Malay Mining Limited ("SMY") are earning a 50% interest in an initial
parcel of 1.5 Mt of high grade ore by spending $750,000 to complete a Bankable
Feasibility Study to evaluate the mining of high grade ore from Panton and
processing it through the Sally Malay Plant to produce a high grade PGM
concentrate. The agreement may be extended to cover further parcels of ore.



Following the receipt of statutory approval SMY commenced refurbishment of the
exploration decline at Panton during the quarter and by late October had
completed 230 metres of rehabilitation with 20 metres remaining to be completed.
During the coming quarter SMY expect to mine a bulk sample of ore from the
decline had undertake pilot plant testwork on the sample.
