23/12/2009 02:02 | I agree with a lot of greengiants points. I HAD 75,000 of these but sold 60,000 @33p so I lose under a grand by not selling the remaining 15,000 last week, but I did not mess about long after the acquisisitions with any more risk Obviously Andersons were a wash out never mind SINO PRESS or whatever it was. These administrators are turnaround experts tho, and I'm not convinced that it is insolvent and I'm sure the VAT man can be paid. What it needs to do is simply abandon and make redundant all non Graphics "taken over" staff, the rest must relinquish their final salary pension scheme (this in itself now falls into the government scheme, and , sadly, may be the end reason we get nothing back as no reincarnation will take on that black hole thats 100%), I do think they did the math, realised there was no way out for their directors jobs but to try with an administrator who could get rid of all the nonsense during the silly season and return to Litho Supplies UK, supplying print and digital stuff without fear or favour. Word got about not to pay them or buy from them and not pay the invoice, word got out they were doomed........poor old racg tho, bet he comes on saying he got out at a profit!!!!! Directors are fair minded and shareholders, it is possible you will get something back from this........possible OK If Litho Supplies is reduced quickly over the coming months, you may get an offer of one or few more pennies for what remains, but I cannot see a comeback because of the pensions, this is not a rip off of shareholders nor actual insolvency, other than cashflow/vatman, no one paying Also it needs new salesmen drivers paid based on minimum wage plus, not £30K plus commission + pension + healthcare + free use of company vehicle contracts, of course new people will move in....and have undercut them without this pre-2008 wage burden I'm sure if they can the directors would genuinely like to see you get something here...... | mryesyes | |
22/12/2009 14:03 | i expect the directors will pick this up for a knock down price. | abc125 | |
22/12/2009 13:52 | And there you go gg | greengiant | |
22/12/2009 13:52 | jotoha - the loss mentioned above does not include the mention of the bad debts mentioned in the IMS today. I know the companies that have gone under and what was outstanding to LTS. Also don't know where you are reading your numbers from. Even considering the improvement mentioned (and then backtracked) this allows for a H2 loss of £800k - £1.2m Gross Profit - £2,191k Distribution Costs - (£1,281k) Admin Costs - (£2,185k) Loss before Interest, Tax & Reorg - £1,275k Reorg - £345k Loss before Int, Tax - £1,620k Good luck purchasing them, I think it is the quickest way to lose £2m seeing that it was only valued at £1.1m prior to its suspension. It is not about how much you can acquire them for, if you want I could help you buy the company from the liquidators (they will be appointed) for a nominal fee (£50k - £100k would be my guess). The issue will be the amount you will have to inject in working capital and redundancy costs because all employees will TUPE across. gg | greengiant | |
22/12/2009 13:33 | Greengiant , not to sure where you get your £2.8m loss from , last interims shows profit of £300k and after reorganisation expenses this comes out to £1.3m loss , so the business can generate profits ,am sure admin costs are sky high , so lots of potential for trimming there , I would gladly pay £2 million for it and take on the debt , maybe I will when the liquidator puts up the "for sale notice" | jotoha2 | |
22/12/2009 12:45 | jotoha2 - unfortunately that is fantasy land. 1) Raise equity - nobody will put their money into this company, the company will lose circa £2.4m - £2.8m this year, the cash impact means that they cannot even satisfy their immediate creditors (hence suspension) 2) Trim costs, all ready done, unfortunately now the company will continue to lose customers which in turn will require further trimming and more redundancy costs (costs in leiu of notice etc) 3) This is the most likely option in my view, why be lumbered with existing debts when a pre-pack gets rid of that, however, will your suppliers have faith in you? IMHO and with a good knowledge of this industry, whilst it is true that credit insurers have reigned back on covering this industry, there are still those out there that will cover it at a premium. However, you have got to ask yourself why LTS did not even have credit insurance on their customers despite the fact that a nunber of big customers went to the wall early. gg | greengiant | |
22/12/2009 12:00 | If they wish they could :- 1 Raise equity to pay down debt ( Not many shares in issue so no major dilution) 2 Trim costs to reflect difficult times, that includes major reduction in Directors fees. 3 Let the company go the wall and pick up what remains via the liquidator ( This is the normal route for rogues and crooks , and unfortunatley the city is full of them .) | jotoha2 | |
22/12/2009 11:49 | badhshah - Unfortunately it wont be that easy. The deferment of payment to HMRC is a minor issue, the bigger issue is that customers are all ready moving away and seeking other suppliers (I know a few people who buy off them). Even if the company lifts its suspension, it is only a matter of time, lower sales means lower drawdown on their Invoice Discounting facility. Unfortunately this company is one that could be a case study in business schools - the managment were slow to respond to the changing market and made bad acquisitions which were badly executed and badly integrated. Looks dead and buried now. gg | greengiant | |
22/12/2009 10:58 | So let's hope they get money from HMRC and survive. | badhshah | |
22/12/2009 10:22 | We won't mention DVS then will we?? | knowing | |
21/12/2009 23:57 | Was tempted to unfilter knowing to read his wise words of wisdom but him and cr are just both two bits pumpers of bad stocks when it suits them ! No apologies from either when this company was clearly for avoiding ! | 21simthy | |
21/12/2009 12:57 | there may be a very very dim light gg | greengiant | |
21/12/2009 12:53 | Is this the end or is there a hope for a dim light at the end of a long tunnel? | badhshah | |
21/12/2009 12:25 | Ha Ha. Running out of options/ideas now so playing the mental card ! You make yourself look desperate. All i did here was warn people several times not to invest here. I suppose that's what happens when you are right, you get all the bullies saying you are nuts :-)) Have fun...ps...DCD looks excellent long term recovery play, perhaps you could deramp that too ? | 21simthy | |
21/12/2009 12:23 | Anyone talked to the company? | sleepy | |
21/12/2009 12:18 | LoL - who's attacking who? Psychiatric help - get HateTrader - it's available on the NHS. CR | cockneyrebel | |
21/12/2009 11:16 | Post 204: "Illiquid and hard to trade tho so caution required." Post 216: "This isn't for widows and orphans and little girls that don't know what they are doing. It's illiquid, it's high risk, it goes up and down 15% at a go quite often so it's volatile." Post 273: "Not for widows and orphans and whoosies like yourself. Not for short term kicks - you buy this and you live with the ups and downs on a daily basis and you wait 6 months to a year imo. They either go bust (which I doubt) or they multibag. Post 290: "Well I hold on the basis that if these don't go bust they must 1-5 bag over the next two years" And there's plenty more like that that I posted HateTrader - you just prefer to forget it. CR | cockneyrebel | |
21/12/2009 11:06 | Sorry HateTrader aka Smithy but if you want to read the thread above I posted no end of times this was a 5 bagger or bust, not for widows and orphans or little girls like yourself. Much as PDG was a 10 bagger or bust at 3p and came good. High risk, never claimed it was anything else. Seems to me the only 'thug' on ADVFN is you HateTrader. CR | cockneyrebel | |
21/12/2009 09:03 | 21Simthy I dont hot Women so you are safe for now. | topinfo | |
21/12/2009 09:01 | GG. I told you, CR's disciples will twist this to make me the bad guy in all this ! Oh and you can clearly see they are common thugs threatening me on a regular basis ! | 21simthy | |
