Morning, watched and held these for a while before and forgot all about them. Great results a real turn around in profits. Have bought 12k, lets see how it pans out.

[molatovkid] 02/5/2007 07:35

interesting figures this morning, quite like the story. might pick up a few....

[mistertibbs] 16/4/2007 18:49

And a couple of nice buys today as well. Is this finally catching some attention?

[mistertibbs] 31/3/2007 14:12

And a nice wee 100,000 purchase late in the day yesterday.

[mistertibbs] 01/3/2007 11:25

Well it looks to me as if progress is slow and sure. Although the recent acquisition looks ok, I'm never too sure when people are involved in both sides i.e purchase and sale.

Decent directors on board. Will consider increasing my small holding soon.

you gotta be joking; this has been dead for months.

The Relative Strength Indicator is at its lowest for well over a year. A bounce into new high ground may be imminent IMHO.

[sharw] 25/9/2006 12:58

It is extremely significant. We had a long period when Perloff sniffed around the company and little happened until he sold out and a South Wales property man took over in the first quarter of this year. Soon after that the main asset, Hawtin Park where we had waited for years for news of planning permission, was sold. Action is now taking place, but what is really of interest is that the new management are now setting out their intentions:

"Hawtin's strategy is to become a substantial property company" and this deal "is a first, important step towards this objective" and "establishes the Company on its path to becoming a significant player in the quoted property sector".

So far today no shares have been traded!

Anyone with thoughts on today's announcement????
It looks like quite a significant deal, although little movement in the share price.....

[hvs] 07/9/2006 21:27

Its down

Looks like the camera has been sabotaged.

Hi Speed Camera

Just maybe the long-term institutional investors are getting ready to launch a full bid for the company. Because this way they can get it on the cheap before it has completed its full turnaround story.

Just my thoughts

[speed camera] 01/9/2006 11:13

Any thoughts here? Yet another new high today.

[speed camera] 30/8/2006 20:45

Any thoughts here? New high today.

[cg1953] 27/7/2006 05:54

nothing to add since then.

[leslas] 26/7/2006 16:04

Have put on my checklist any views anyone

[formentera] 25/4/2006 08:43

Blue and in profit, great.

[sharw] 16/3/2006 22:25

Well, well, well. For those of you who blinked and missed it Hawtin announced after today's close that Hawtin Park has been sold for £225k above book value.

What does that mean for us as shareholders?

a) NAV. Tangible assets at 30/6/05 were £11.819m. Assume that running income (mainly rental) continues to just covering running costs so no effect on asset base. Add the profit gives £12.044m. Divide by 71,728,687 shares gives 16.8p/share.

b) How does this change the company? It is now much more of a cash shell. In addition to Hawtin Park, the premises at Treforest, Bordeaux and Bridgend have been sold. That just leaves the Portsmouth and Bodmin sites plus Beechwood House (the head office) "and a small 10 acre plot in Richmond, USA".

c) Intangibles. There are none on the balance sheet but anyone looking at the company as a cash shell could put a value on:

(i) The AIM quote
(ii) Capital tax losses from the disaster that was the operating companies. These could be set against future capital gains.

So....give me 18 to 20p and I'll be off and put the rest down to experience.

..........Sounds like just the kinda guy we need to get this one going

[william-just] 18/2/2006 10:17

wow i wonder if i am related

[ptolemy] 15/2/2006 18:13

Option 1
The family are taking the company private.
Option 2
Big bust up over company direction.

On relfection perhaps options 1 and 2 are the same thing......(but more likely 2 or Dovey would have bought the lot!)
