If we can close above 273.5p we are in business for a serious challenge
of 300p, we would have done that if it was not for the ridiculous
hoax yesterday, from some idiot on twitter allegedly.

The ims was good and should not be ignored.

Active increasing here.

Restatement of Profits for 2013 and H1 2014. See link to G4S website. Not sure why this has not been issued as an RNS. Looks material to me.

Decent enough ts imo, I like the organic growth rates
in North America and the emerging markets.

I think we will stay here now, just below the starting
line, ready for Wednesday's challenge of 300p.

G4S continues disposals despite return to profit - GFS
- Today, 4:45 PM

Pre-tax profits at the support services giant rose to £85m in the half-year compared to a £94m loss previously, as Ashley Almanza's restructuring takes hol - GFS

[srpactive] 13/8/2014 08:59

If we can get through 264p, we should challenge 300p
in time.

Now at an 15 mth intraday high, and the 50,100 and 200 dma
are moving upward.

Looking a lot better.

Do not forget Adam Crozier is a non executive here,
the one that has turned around itv, the royal mail
to mention a couple.
This is just the situation for him.

I am long, nice reversal.

I would not be comfortable holding a short position,
especially if Adam or even Archie and the boys get
involved here.

Net debt on here is shown as £3,839 Million



Hence the net tangible asset value per share of -84p , MINUS 84p

[buywell2] 13/8/2014 07:12

March 2016 looks like being a bit a problem methinks


'' Net debt

The net debt position as at 30 June 2014 was GBP1,680 million (31
December 2013: GBP1,552 million). The increase of GBP128 million
reflects net cash outflow including the GBP109 million Electronic
Monitoring settlement and foreign exchange movements. The group's net
debt to EBITDA ratio is 3.1 (2013: 2.8) (see page 31 for details of the
calculation) reflecting the normal seasonal effect of lower cash flows
in the first half which, in line with previous years, is expected to
reverse in the second half of 2014.''



Net debt rose despite selling bits off

''Discontinued operations

The total profit for the period of GBP23 million (2013: loss of GBP84
million) relating to discontinued operations included a trading loss of
GBP7 million and profit on disposal of GBP30 million. The profit on
disposal relates to the sale of the group's cash solutions business in
Canada for GBP60 million and its business in Norway for GBP29 million. ''







''Credit facilities

The group's credit rating was confirmed by Standard & Poor's as BBB-
(Stable) in April 2014. As of 30 June 2014 the company has access to
unutilised and committed facilities of GBP955 million. The group has
sufficient borrowing capacity to finance its current and medium term
investment plans.

The group has no material debt maturities until March 2016 and has a
diverse range of finance providers. Borrowings are principally in pounds
sterling, US dollars and euros reflecting the geographies of significant
operational assets and profits. ''




'BBB'-Adequate capacity to meet financial commitments, but more subject to adverse economic conditions.
'BBB-'-Considered lowest investment grade by market participants.

More bid talk circling itv, if they get bought out hopefully by
BT, fingers crossed Adam Crozier heads our way.

Hello all

I have followed gfs for many yrs ( not in depth I might add )
but I have just bought in this morning.
The main reason is the itv story, Adam Crozier is on the board
here and if itv get sold to Liberty Global, he might well look
for a bigger role here. If that does happen it would be very good
indeed. I started buying itv at 20p, so a bid at 260 -300p would
be very nice.
