Well who would have ever believed poor old WMK would have been trading at this level.It's been moving higher last couple of days and as people have mentioned it does look cheap.

Gelp - like many other deals it went through on Plus Trades (www.plusmarketsgroup.com). You will see it there under the WMK trades. Check if Barclays are using the Plus Trades platform.

Base formed at 7.5 after recent funding.Company now needs to prove it's worth.If that happens then expect a good recovery from these lows.Market did a great job walking the price down to the funding level.Only saving grace is that the shares are not in the market but being held by investors hopefully looking for a return from these levels.

price of the funding imo. Looks like those in that have had a great time at the shareholder's expense. Dare say in this market the company bent over and took it. At least the co has a future now - and big orders - needs some news out there now to get the shareprice up.

Some decent results hopefully.

Well I was going to have a browse over the website tonight (Can't watch X-Factor) but they are revamping it.Wonder if they can do the same with the share price.

From a previous post and figures do seem about right

Whether there is value here will depend on future trading. The company has a turnover approaching £100M. If it can make 5% and attract a P/E of 10 then its value will be £35M. Divide by diluted shares (post conversion) of 107M gives a share price of 33p. If they can make 10% and attract a P/E of 12 then its 78p.

Well noticed a few late buys reported on the trades page from Friday which should set things up for a nice move when we resume trading tomorrow.Not much talk about the 18M contract with Air Canada and a few more like that will see this back into the 50p region.

This snippet,from the last results,show what the group has been able to achieve

Financial Highlights

* Turnover up 17.3% to #93.96 million (2005: #80.09 million)

* Services division's revenue increases to #60.09 million (2005: #43.83
million)

* Improvement in gross margin to 38.68%, despite negative impact of
weaker US Dollar

* Significant exceptional restructuring costs incurred and bad debt provisions

* Pre-exceptional profits before tax are #1.99 million in line with
expectations (2005: #6.34 million)

Refinancing

* Underwritten placing and offer of #8 million secured fixed rate convertible
bonds to reduce and restructure debt and support growth, subject to EGM
approval

* New banking facilities, comprising #6.5m two year term loan and #1.5m
overdraft

Operational Highlights

* Acquisition of ICL from Japan Airlines Corporation in April 2006

* ICL successfully relocated to the Encompass Centre, Heathrow

* Air New Zealand catering contract commenced in August 2006

* Supply chain management contract secured with Air Canada, confirmed
in February 2007


I do not forsee this going up in a straight line but with confirmation of the turnaround in the interims a significant rise in the share price is certainly bound to be on the cards.

All our holdings are small, now!

The bond issue is basically a deep discounted placing in drag for institutions. Bond holders will receive 62,598,450 shares in 2010 for putting up £8M now. That's 12.8p per share (with the added security of a second charge until 2010). They've managed to exclude small PI's by setting a £35,000 minimum. Existing shareholders will end up with just 41.6% of the company. Even the advisors have taken their cut with £1.2M of the £8M convertible funds going to them.

The initial feeling is one of having been stuffed. However the question is whether its all in the price.

Whether there is value here will depend on future trading. The company has a turnover approaching £100M. If it can make 5% and attract a P/E of 10 then its value will be £35M. Divide by diluted shares (post conversion) of 107M gives a share price of 33p. If they can make 10% and attract a P/E of 12 then its 78p.

What the refinancing has done is remove the uncertainty over the survival of the company and got the bank off its back, which is why the price is moving upwards.

Its all about delivery from here on in. Previous management have paid the price with their jobs (although no doubt will be well compensated). New management will probably get a raft of options at around the current price.

From Charles Stanley's web site - the JAL deal is adjudged a winner:

"Watermark Group Share Price: 123.5p Market Cap: £54.8m (WMK.L) We last wrote on WMK on 10 April when we gave a no recommendation opinion at 124.5p, because we considered that there was unquantifiable upside if a bid materialised and downside if it did not. Following the announcement of the acquisition of the catering business from JAL, we consider that the downside risk has been significantly reduced and the possibility of a bid at a reasonable premium to the current share price has increased. We have therefore changed our recommendation to Hold. Although our opinion is Hold, speculative trading clients might consider purchasing the shares.

Acquisition
WMK's subsidiary Air Fayre (AF) has acquired ICL the in-flight catering subsidiary of Japan Airlines International (JAL) for a consideration of only £1! As part of the agreement, WMK has, in addition, paid the proceeds of a sales an lease back of the freehold property less some adjustments to JAL, which we understand accounted for most of net assets. This will leave the Group with some net assets from the transaction which will be accounted as negative goodwill. ICL has some 11 customers of which JAL, Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways were the largest. ICL reported a small loss for the year to December 2005 on sales of £19m.

The business model is likely to be changed to that of AF. AF is in reality a logistics operation. It has a substantial facility including cold storage at Heston, close to Heathrow. It outsources food preparation to major supermarket suppliers. This is then delivered to its facility for distribution to the aircraft of its clients. By using this model (against owning its own kitchens), it can cut costs to its clients and make a decent return on sales. AF has considerable spare capacity at Heston and it is possible, but not yet decided, that the ICL business could be moved there.

We expect considerable reorganisation to take place and therefore there may be further exceptional costs this year. However there should be a substantial contribution in 2007. If we assume that AF can earn a net PBT margin of 8%, then the new business would add £1.5m to 2007 profits, equivalent to fully taxed and diluted EPS of marginally over 2p per share. That, assuming no change in other underlying profits, would raise clean 2007 EPS to around 13.5p per share.

It is for that reason, that we consider the downside risk, if the putative bid were not to arise, has been reduced. We also consider that the possibility of a bid above the current share price has increased as potential private equity buyers will have now seen that at least one major airline has been willing to enter into this type of transaction.

In our last comment, we gave various target prices based on EBITDA multiples. If we assume that this contract will add £1.5m to profits and that an EBITDA multiple of 5 is applied then the increase in the equity value would be £7.5m or over 15p per share. We have used 5 compared with previous multiples of 7, 8 and 9 as the additional profit applies to next year and should be discounted. The adjusted share value on multiples of 7, 8 and 9 could now be 125p, 143p and 161p respectively. But there is no guarantee that a bid will arise, or at what level. Those numbers are given for illustrative purposes only."
