that's right & it's all very well crowing off about '£10m sales-proceeds', blah....blah.... BUT what's the land & build-out costing ? what's the profit ? that's what an investor needs to know.... just window-dressing this, maybe ramping up the Co's image ahead of them exercising those lousy options ?

Yes, but does anyone trust the directors to generate shareholder value as opposed to director value? No chance of a dividend. Lots of chance that they will buy a nice car or double their salary / bonus. This company doesn't reward investors.

Hi
LFI same price now as it was in 1990-1994. Not so great !...Ah, I see that Safeland is also the same price as it was in 1993. He he !.

----
imho the LSE/AIM need to modify their rules to prevent repeats of companies like Safeland......family controlled....

"cap. value of around 2M....and exec. dirs get 1.5M pay in past years"

If a company has "any" public shareholders then there need to be some basic rules.
And those rules need to prohibit that directors can award themselves whatever pay they want.

---

and perhaps limit listed companies to only have 1 director from 1 family.

----

And personally I think that LSE/AIM/Plus should restrict the max. shareholding of anyone to 30% in 1 company. When that amount is exceeded it gives too much power and creates too much risk of problems imo....and human greed and temptation can take over....even with rules, too much risk imo.

And imho perhaps a limit of 15% for any 1 director.

and companies with greater than those percentages....they can just stay as private companies !...and not raise money from the general public...instead stay private and raise money from rich experienced investors and from investment funds/vehicles....(who will write a contract with conditions before investing !)

----

Sadly, for LSE/AIM/Plus.....it will imho always be 'dodgy', infested with insider dealing, dubious deals and PIs at the end of the food chain, ....
...the City regulates itself....so it never will be tough on itself...
same as the press, self regulation. The result, the News of the World scandal, including Downing Street and the Prime Minister's office....and the UK made to look bad in the eyes of the world.

Take a lower salary rather than wrecking a perfectly profitable property trading business....they are still living off the shareholder value generated a decade ago - it's just greedy, but they control the company so it's up to them. Just don't expect investors to back their next self served investment vehicle. Anyway, I'm not sure they cut it anymore - they seem to have lost their drive. Long gone are the days when they created Hercules, Bizspace and Safestore...maybe they are only good at developing businesses with a favourable economic headwind!? The Safestay concept looks interesting, but the way it's structured I can't see any value heading to other shareholders. As I say, hope Larry enjoys his new Enzo!!

Yes, it's certainly cheap. I won't be putting any more money in though, as I'm not prepared to throw more money behind the Lipman's. Good opportunity for new investors though, if the Lipman's haven't totally lost their touch. What happened to all the exciting ventures that Larry Lipman put together a decade or so ago? Makes you wonder how leveraged their private property interests were?

sounds unlikely. Anyway I would expect Lipmans to protect value of shares, currently intrinsically protected by NAV.
I would think comparative undervaluation of safeland is normal in historical context and not in itself alarming in current circumstances. There are obvious reasons why investors might not flock in. Like, the market in the shares is a bit sticky. The directors pay themselves well while the company doesn't always make a profit. Or as the chap above said, 'company should really be private'. One hears all these as things putting individuals off the company's shares.
I wouldn't be alarmist and I would buy at this price, about a quarter of NAV, if it didn't overweight me.

Sale at 15p today, with a 0.5p fall in price
In similar position to THG
Property owning stocks, esp small ones like these just no interest from investors
For some reason tho,l BDEV with a NAV of no more than 10p and with imho liklihood of banks going for the jugular and rumours of almost zero completions on flats UK wide, goes up by 10% per day
Suggest BDEV is lining up behind TW. to bounce a rights issue off its faithful followers
Just goes to show that sentiment is king, not fundamentals, the highest risers of 2009 are the massively leveraged, many I hold having risen from 10p to 40p
this year with no real way of valuing them except what people will pay as they see the daily rises they pile in, but SAF and THG and LTS ignored
