rara, I hope that's the case for the sake of small holders (myself not included), the company can clearly make money but the incumbent clowns don't know how to manage a listed company in the interest of it's share holders. A takeover would be the best option, even more so considering how little stock the management own. I can only deduce from the institutional buying that they know something you don't, because they certainly aren't buying into the credability of the management.

The RNS did not say who the defaulting debtor was, but Red Leter Day went into receivership this week. This follows reports of their inability to pay invoices going back as long as six months and their suppliers refusing to continue doing business with them.

If RLD were the defaulting debtor, and in my view this is highly likely, I cannot see how the directors could reasonably foreseen this event.

Having said that, a standard scenario which is covered on all management training courses, is: "What would happen if your largest customer went out of business?".

As I see it, the fundamental problem at LDR is that management allowed a debtor an amount of credit which has caused the company considerable damage because of the default.

When people ordered "Red Letter Days" they sent payment with order. Had that company sent on payment less their margin within a reasonable time of receiving that payment, they might not have gone bust. However, it would appear that they held on to the cash until they themselves were invoiced, which could be several months after they initially received payment.

In the meantime they provided themselves with luxurious offices, operated with serious overmanning, and Buisnesswoman-of-the-Year Rachael Elnough paid herself in the region of £250,000 per annum.

Presumably LDR use a computerised accounting system, and get a monthly Aged Debtors Report. A debt of £1 million, out of which almost certainly a large percentage would have been several months old, should have hit the management in the eye long before it reached that level.

This is the second major example of financial incompetance in this company, and whoever bears responsibility for failing to control this debt shoud resign or be dismissed. In the event that no specific person held this responsibility, then the Managing Director and Chairman should go.

sold a few but have also held - in the price really is my view, but can't blame those who have bailed on a few disappointments too many. expect gradual climb back toward 300p but maybe slow progress for a while. after all ldr could still hit eps forecasts if lucky with contracts. lesson in staying diversified re aim/small cap stocks.

Bad luck, tom. But as we've said before, these rascals are accident prone.

At least the CEO can't be accused of selling before the warning this time. He bought 800 shares at 305p on 29 June. :-)

No, last profit warning pushed them to 180p, that was the time before.

After much patience, I have swallowed my losses and bailed out. What a disgrace. Not so much the bad debt (which can happen to any business) but the "review" which alludes to the fact that more of their revenue sources may also turn out to be smoke and mirrors.

Yet again these clowns issue a profit warning, glad to be well rid of these a good while ago.

Hopefully the last few days will be a catalyst for a push back up to 350p.

Ox - I agree wholeheartedly with you. Can't understand why ldr is lagging like this. Patience will undoubtedly be rewarded.

moved up a bit but still sub 300p - with market at new highs we should be nearer 350p - come on ldr.

Someone is selling regularly in small amounts, presumably not to spook the share price With the rising price the last 2 days they're selling in larger amounts, 10k lots.
Anyone any ideas who it might be?

down again on the sale of 763 shares so far - tiny volume - agree its frustrating - hopefully next results will make up for it - not aware of any other issues.

OK - so has anyone any suggestions why the share price is slipping again? A bit dispiriting, isn't it?

mentioned in shares today under 'for better' as opposed to 'for worse' column.

ldr off to good start with buy and fly in spain and further european expansion likely - ldr currently in talks with a german and dutch bank about buy and fly.

I am pleased with the results, and pleased that this year's earning were compared with last year's earnings before the exceptional write-off. Had they not done this, the apparent earnings growth would have been about ten times year-on-year.

I consider that to be fair reporting and I thank the directors for their honesty.

I agree. Low P/E for a company that is growing. I think these will continue to push up as they did after the interims...

up at 307-310p currently on little volume - results look very positive to me. see brokers looking for c.2.3m and 28p for current year - a bit less than I thought. going on 1.1m for H1 and 1.5m for H2 (similar to last years good performance) suggest this will be beaten. also brokers looking for 8p div - given last years 10.5p I can't understand this and with interim div increased if the fy div is held it should be 11.5p for year, near 4% at current share price

overall with buy and fly new business wins and Spanish developments looking very positive ldr should push ahead. for me share price deserves to be much closer to 400p than 300p. surprised the shares are not up a bit more but then I also was not expecting the results today, any views, broker comments/updates would be appreciated. hopefully any meetings with institutions should go well on back of these results.

This was a surprise....thought the results were due out on June 10th ?

They look good but perhaps the change in year-end has spooked some people as we are down 3%+ at the minute.
