Dalian results were out this morning.

[tyranosaurus] 30/11/2006 08:35

CEG results are out.
No time to analyse them at the moment.

Note the exercise of options today..........something is in the air.

Should be positive
My view only.

Anyone else any ideas??

[capt bligh] 27/11/2006 11:41

CEg full year results due any minute

[vish65] 18/10/2006 17:09

A biggish sell today @ 5.5p.

We dont seem to going anywhere for a long time time now. I'm sure the board are busy at something and SL bought shares only recently which is what i'm hanging my hat on ( a big Lon Asia Cap fan and holder) but EPE really need to do something one way or the other as the business size is just too small .

If your there Mr Holmes pls speak to us.

Let's hope so it has been very quiet lately.

James Holmes speaking about EPE, Dalian and China Education in London seminar on 17 October organised by London Asia (see www.londonasia.com) - should be good publicity for the companies to get things moving again.

[timely] 14/9/2006 18:54

I agree as the price is holding very firm despite repeated sells.

[mercedes] 14/9/2006 15:19

Another 350.000 buy today..............soaking up all the small sells over the last few weeks.

Cannot be long now before these really start to move up in a big way??

Now we know why the price never dropped when there were only sellers day after day.

400,000 bought at close of trading today.

Looking for an RNS soon.

You are probably right. All trades today were sells.
GEG and Dalian are still drifting downwards.
Somebody wants a load of EPE and it`s probably London Asia.

[mangal] 22/8/2006 09:03

Looks like someone is accumulating these- the offer price has moved up to 7.5p whilst the bid remains unmoved.

[tyranosaurus] 22/8/2006 08:36

The price is being manipulated upwards. There is no buying.
I just done some dummy trades on 20000 shares.
I was quoted 6.6p to sell and 7.15p to buy.

[viruiltohip] 21/8/2006 21:39

Take a look its worth it:

[timely] 21/8/2006 21:01

Nice to see steady increases each day - a re-rating underway?

[tyranosaurus] 19/8/2006 11:24

I would be interested to know how they plan to get 20% of CEG and Dalian as these shares are rarely traded.

[timely] 18/8/2006 18:18

Lets hope so. I'd like to see it move to 10p for a real breakout from its historically low price to reflect its actual value. I suspect what is driving this is the planned stake-building to 20% of CEG (and their other main investment the name of which escapes me for the moment).

[mangal] 18/8/2006 16:12

Offer price now over 7p; not long, I think, before the share price clears the recent high of 8.5

[tyranosaurus] 18/8/2006 15:35

Strange how the price seems to move regardless of trades.

[mercedes] 18/8/2006 12:24

No volume but another tick upwards..................ummmmmmmmmmmmmm

Merc

[tyranosaurus] 15/8/2006 18:24

Large trades today. Could it be LAC increasing it`s stake I wonder.

[mercedes] 10/8/2006 10:47

tyran

There is movement here..........I think that with this info and the prospect to increase the stake in these two.plus others ongoing.......we should see a substantial increase in the share price over the next few months.

The answer to my question, from the company itself.


UK AiM listed Europasia Education plc (code EPE) has announced that it has increased its stake in Plus Market's listed China Education Group (CEG) to over 15% via the conversion of its holding of Loan Notes. EPE announced recently in its Annual Report that it intends to increase its stakes in CEG and Plus Markets listed Dalian Business Institute (DBI). If EPE were to hold over 20% of the shares in CEG or DBI, it would be able to treat them as associated companies and account for EPE's share of their profits in EPE's accounts. The current market value of EPE's holdings in CEG and DBI is £5.8 million, against EPE's current market value of only £3.0 million. CEG, listed on Ofex with a current market value of £22 million, produced profits of £2.4 million for the year ended 30 June 2005, and showed a 47% increase in profits after tax for the six months ended 31 December 2005 to £1.7 million. DBI, which has a current market value of £19 million, produced pro forma profits of £1.7 million for the year ended 31 July 2005, and profits for the six months ended 31 January 2006 of £0.9 million - EPE has an existing stake of 10.8%.

[tyranosaurus] 08/8/2006 17:52

EPE have not actually increased their stake in CEG.
They have merely converted CEG loan notes into CEG shares.
They have not had to pay out any money.

As a holder of Loan Notes I would be interested in their logic.

The loan notes pay 7% pa gross interest but the shares do not pay a dividend.
Therefore in the next 12 months they will lose £27,142 in interest.
I can`t see how CEG can pay a dividend as they are loaning all the money generated to SIIT to extend the campus.
