i already know the facts thankyou, this company of late has been on its knees for the last few months (hence the price) but now they have been given a golden lifeline and things are looking up. I posted here only today at about 12.30pm, saying how quiet it is, then 1 mill buy came along, then the RNS was released, then u turn up. U are like a leach on society get a life stop harping on.

If anyone wants to know where 8trader will be posting tomorrow, thats simple look at the top 5 gainers and he will be deramping like mad as normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who is he thats simple too, he used to be on radio 1 with steve wright in the afternoon many years ago (he played MR ANGRY)

Jotoha1.

The point i'm making is you have pulled out some silly figures
on other stocks where the market caps are way out, i'm sure you
know this because when i've pointed it out you dont accept it.
With Smc the market cap was 40 mil at 10p and you say it's worth
40p or somehow adding 120 mil to the market cap for a company
making around 4 mil.

Lets keep it real eh...advfn market cap is so wrong (again) it questions
the fact that claim to have 50p+ staff working for them, you would think
they could get one of them spending a week checking all the voting rights
of every penny stock and correcting them.

So instead of Hll being worth just 1 mil which would make it look attractive
after the trading update it's worth over 6 times as much which completely
throws the value out of the window.

Sure it might come good but for now it's fully priced..imho and dyor.

[jotoha1] 17/6/2008 17:46

8t , why would I pay £10m for this company ??, am more than happy to see it recover and prosper for all concerned!

[jotoha1] 17/6/2008 17:44

8t,or is it Mystic Meg sorry but I have never dumped any SMC, am still holding over 300k for a nice long term return , company is doing great...please read last statement ..lots of contracts worth many millions , ask me again about SMC in 2 years!!!!

[8trader] 17/6/2008 17:33

ps...i warned people not to get sucked into Igd today and look
what happened to those who bought that decimal stock, on paper
they have lost over half their investment.

Keep it real, the trading statement is positive but the company
is swamped with shares and loan stock, if this was quoted at 25-30p
there would probably not even be a thread started on advfn, for
some reason punters get hooked into thinking a company is cheap
because they have a few zero's infront of their shareprice and
they can buy 250,000 for £500 instead of 2,500.....mm's will trap
a few tomorrow.

[8trader] 17/6/2008 17:30

I actually think it's very late to join the party jotoha1 and from
bumping into you before i already know you are incapable of giving
any stock a fair value, you are the same poster that added 120 million
to Smc but you were quick to dump the next day and never posted again
on the thread, you did the same with Dawson, infact you are just another
shameless ramper who pulls out crazy figures out of thin air.

Would you pay 10 million to buy this company ?

Because with market cap, loan stock and debt that is what it would
cost you !

[jotoha1] 17/6/2008 17:23

8t , looks like you have missed another early entry point, still its not to late, company is doing well and future is much brighter, so loooosen up and enjoy!

[8trader] 17/6/2008 17:22

What a well timed phrase !

"wake up and smell the coffee" !

The current market cap is infact 6.4 mil at 0.275p mid price.

That is massive, without the loan stock and debt, trading might
be healthy but will they actually make a pre-tax profit.

I cant believe how high the value of this company is !

[market maker2] 17/6/2008 17:13

New customers - New finace levels- Record production levels -Summer approaching

Wake up and smell the coffee, this could bode well.

[8trader] 17/6/2008 16:54

As posted on the other thread the shareprice is simply overvalued.

With over 2 billion shares in issue the market cap is already well
over 5 million.

Then you have the loan stock and Cattles have to be paid back with
interest of course !

Look around and see what you can buy instead for similar values !

Hill Station plc ("Hill Station" or the "Company")

Financing and Trading update


The Board of Hill Station plc ("Board"), the manufacturer of premium branded
and private-label ice creams, today releases the following update.

Financing update

Further to the announcement on 2 April 2008 that the Company's bankers intended
to cap the amount of their invoice discounting facility at £1.1 million which
was below the amount that the then level of debtors would support in a normal
invoice discounting relationship. This meant that the proposed inventory build,
normal in Spring, needed to be scaled back. Accordingly the Board entered into
discussions with alternative invoice discount facility providers and key
shareholders with a view to obtaining alternative financing.

The Board is pleased to announce that a new invoice discounting facility has
now been agreed and is in operation with Cattles Invoice Finance Ltd. The
maximum funding limit under the facility is £3 million. The facility is secured
by a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the Group. Various fees
relating to set up, servicing and utilisation are payable in respect of the
facility. Interest on the used facility will be charged at 2.5 per cent. above
the base rate. The initial term of the facility is 3 years and may be
terminated by either party with six months notice. The Board wishes to express
its thanks to Merchant Securities plc for introducing Cattles to the Company.

The Board is also pleased to report that additional support from shareholders
in the form of £500,000 of new Loan Stock repayable in 6 months has been agreed
subject to contract. A further announcement regarding this will be made once
the formal documentation has been signed.
The sales in April and May were significantly below expectations due to the
capped invoice discounting facility. On 30 April 2008, we announced that the
Company had been successful at gaining new business with large retail and
wholesale customers and that the Board's other new business objectives of
recovering raw material price increases, improvement in factory efficiencies
and reduction in business overheads had been secured. The Board is pleased to
report that the factory is now regularly achieving record levels of production
as stocks are being rebuilt. Given the Company has recently won the Grocer
Magazine's award for Best Frozen Food Manufacturer 2007, which was a difficult
period in the Company's history, the Board is more than encouraged by current
manufacturing performance which it believes augers well for the future.

The outcome for the first half of the year being the 6 months to 30 April 2008
is encouraging with EBIT being in line with management expectations
notwithstanding the difficulties caused by the cash constraints arising from
the bank's decision to cap the factoring facility.

The warmer Summer months normally represent the Company's strongest selling
period. Trading conditions remain challenging but management continues to drive
the Board's four key objectives as set out in the announcement of 30 April. The
Company's cash flow and cash resources will continue to be closely monitored.

Getting finance in place in these markets means someones confident
of making a return.
I particularly like this part ot the RNS.

This is the first part of the RNS

safman.

Last total voting rights show over 2 billion shares in issue.

That makes the market cap a huge 5 million, add on the loan
stock issue, then add on the debt and you will see that this
stock is more than fairly priced, it's actually overvalued.

You can buy stocks worth 10 mil with no debt, no loan stock etc etc
which make 5 mil profits a year.

Lets hope nobody gets trapped in to the pump and dump.
