Hey guys, having lost about £5 in YRK how do I go about offsetting these losses for CGT purposes against gains elsewhere, if the shares aren't tradable?
TIA.

The end of YRK. It took a while, but unfortunately this looked inevitable. Sadler made the same mistake as Bioglan and borrowed, even though he said he wouldn't make the same error again! We never heard about Abasol did we. Some high profile investors lost their shirt on this. I managed to break-even which is better than most. Had no shares left at the end. We've all learnt a lesson on this one though. Bioshark was correct. I'd love to know the truth on Abasol formally, but guess we will never know unless the administrators report (issued in a month or two normally) tells the real story!

8Trade, thank you for those kind words, Im starting to like you again. I was very bullish on YRK and I have spoken on several occasions to someone at the company whilst shares suspended and although they didnt and couldnt give loads away due to FSA rules etc they hinted at being very optomistic. I hope my recent thoughts are unfounded but the longer it takes the more bearish I am becoming. I like most on here stand to lose and that gets me as this was once a great company and I thought RA could turn it around...maybe just maybe he will prove me wrong.?

Kiki...You have been busy, sounds okay but I still think if deal with ULU was worth around 6p per share and RA thought this deal was much better for shareholders then I would assume a starting share price of well above that 6p figure IMHO.

Backinblack. I have offered an olive branch many times before but he declines to kiss and make up and continues to slate me so ce la vie. Anyway back to YRK yep I am expecting something this week as deadline for paying back ULU etc is 22nd July I think so things should be sorted one way or another. This can only have 2 outcomes and one of course is we lose the lot and YRK vanishes into thin air, alternatively they come back to mkt fully financed up/merged/RTO etc, in which case we will get a massive rise in the share price ..Its 50/50 now I feel as things seem to be dragging out and I am starting to question whether my source at YRK has been telling me the Gods honest truth or not...we shall see soon.!!

Nobby. Why what makes you think not this week? Also York was priced to go bust, if these come back they will rise significantly. Mkt cap ridiculous compared to potential products. They turned down deal with ULU that valued York at around 6p per share, they did this as the other deal was better for shareholders so makes sense for share price to rise significantly above that 6p price.. I have spoken to RA at length as well and I get the feeling this deal will be very very well received by the city.!!

KiKi...Not long to wait now, they will be back soon. Just remember this was priced to go bust, either we get fully taken over or Re-Financed, either way share price will go up significantly. Looking at ULU I would rather go for the re-financing deal and that way the new CEO Richard Anderson who is the biggest single shareholder can rebuild the business and return real value to shareholders. If it comes back then it will be one of two deals as mentioned, either or will have massive impact on share price I personally would like to see option 2.

Thanks Topinfo & BB80 reassuring comments..Not spoken to RA but heard it all before from previous CEO... TS in conversation was also very very optimistic about the company (maybe too much!) - won't again base my investment decisions on how enthusiastic a director is, does not mean they can pull it off and grow the company and share price on enthusiasm alone!
Posted at 13/5/2009 12:56 by topinfo
Good news at least. What the CEO is saying is accept the offer as shareholders otherwise he cant guarantee a satisfactory return to shareholders and they will need to raise funds. Well if its a case of take the offer or decline it I will take it as something is better than nothing. I bought quite low so am okay but feel for those who have put huge sums in over past few years, but at least this way you do get something back if takeover goes ahead. The new CEO has a large shareholding so will obvioulsy do His best to get as much as possible for shareholders.

York Pharma plc
(YRK.L) ("York" or the "Company")


Restructure update and divestment of French subsidiary


In January 2009, York announced that its newly appointed management team was
conducting a strategic review to investigate options to restructure the
Company's operations.


Following completion of the review, the Board has now decided to simplify the
ownership of its international distribution partnership network. This is being
achieved through the reorganisation of the group's operations in France, Belgium
and Luxembourg (the "Territory"), resulting in the divestment today of its 51%
owned OTC focused subsidiary, ACM Crawford SAS ("ACM"), to ACM's minority
shareholders, Thierry Leveillé and Sebastien Baudinot (the "Minority
Shareholders"). ACM will continue to represent the Company as exclusive
distributor in the Territory focused on the marketing of York's prescription
brands.


Background to divestment
The Company's 51% interest in ACM was acquired as one of the assets of Derms
Development Limited in November 2007. ACM is a sales and marketing business,
which has been engaged in selling the Company's products in the Territory and
which took prime responsibility for managing the Company's international
distributor network. ACM had also developed a range of dermacosmetic products
which it marketed principally in France.


The various rights and management responsibilities of each of the Company and
the Minority Shareholders in relation to ACM were set out in a Shareholders'
Agreement entered into at the time of the establishment of the joint ownership
and subsequently modified by the parties during 2008 (the "SHA"). The SHA
contained provisions creating an obligation on the Company to acquire the
outstanding minority interest in ACM of 49% for a pre-agreed aggregate amount of
EUR6.25m. The SHA provided that any failure by the Company to complete the
acquisition and remit the requisite payments in relation to the minority stake
on time would entitle the Minority Shareholders to trigger a call option,
enabling them to acquire the Company's 51% shareholding in ACM for a nominal sum
of EUR2,550 (representing an amount of EUR10 per share) and to the write off of all
intercompany debts owed by ACM to the Company.


Divestment of ACM
As the next step in implementing the revised corporate strategy, the Company has
negotiated and entered into a separation agreement with ACM, the key terms of
which are as follows:


* An amount of EUR777,000 standing to the balance of an inter-company debt owed by
ACM to the Company has, with effect immediately prior to the conduct of the
separation, been capitalised through the issuance of 10,500 shares in ACM to the
Company;
* The Company's aggregate interest in ACM (comprising its initial 51% shareholding
together with the additional 10,500 new shares in ACM mentioned above) was
acquired as of today by the Minority Shareholders for a total of EUR23,661 in
cash;
* The balance of all and any intercompany debt owed by ACM to the Company,
totalling in aggregate EUR51,795 has been forgiven;
* The Company's existing rights and interest in two non-prescription dermacosmetic
products, Vitix and Viticolor, have been transferred to ACM;
* Any and all interests held by ACM in the prescription product Zindaclin and in
the Company's international network of distributors have been transferred to the
Company;
* The Company has appointed ACM as its exclusive distributor for three years in
the Territory;
* ACM has granted the Company an option to distribute its products in the US
market; and
* ACM will provide support for future product acquisitions on a success fee basis.



As a result of completing the divestment of its interest in ACM, the Company
will be a prescription dermatology and skin care business, selling products
directly in the UK market and through an international network of distributors
covering 70 countries. Whilst the divestment will result in a lower annual rate
of sales for the Company, it is expected to have a minimal impact on the group's
results (after accounting for the minority interest) and will save the Company
from the requirement to fund the previously agreed purchase price for the
minority interest of EUR6.25m.


The Company's last set of published results was for the interim period of six
months ended on 31 March 2008. The unaudited net assets of ACM at 30 September
2008 were GBP78,811 and its unaudited revenues and loss before taxation for the
eleven months ended 30 September 2008 were GBP2,809,189 and GBP191,748
respectively (Source: Company Management Accounts).


After careful deliberation, the Directors consider, having consulted with the
Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the divestment of ACM are fair
and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.


Update on possible offer
On 30 March 2009, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement
with Uluru Inc. ("Uluru") under which Uluru has provided the Company with a
secured revolving credit facility and on 6 April 2009 the Company further
announced that it had also signed a non-binding offer letter with Uluru for
Uluru to acquire the Company. Drawdown of the credit facility is required to
allow the Company to continue trading through the period needed to complete any
formal offer for the Company under the Takeover Code.


In accordance with the requirements of the Takeover Panel, Uluru has been
notified of the divestment of ACM and has confirmed that, in accordance with
Rule 21 of the Takeover Code, it does not consider the divestment to constitute
a frustrating action in relation to the current ongoing discussions between the
parties.


The Board stresses that there can be no certainty that the discussions between
the Company and Uluru will lead to an offer being made for the Company. In the
event that no offer is made for the Company, it will need to raise additional
capital to fund its operating activities and to repay indebtedness in due
course. Shareholders should be aware that if the offer is not completed or if
the Company's capital raising efforts are unsuccessful, this will have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and operations. The
Company will provide a further update as and when appropriate.


Richard Anderson, Chief Executive of York said: "We are pleased that following
the conclusion of this restructuring, the Company will continue to work with ACM
in Continental European markets. The settlement which we have negotiated enables
us to move forward and exploit fully our international Zindaclin franchise,
whilst protecting the Company and its shareholders from the uncertainty which
would have arisen as a result of the contractual obligation of the Company to
acquire the minority interest becoming due."

Completely incompetent management - share price didn't benefit from the deal announcement but has crashed as it failed.

How can they unraved to sales - and what about any investment YRk made during their periond of control


Where does the strategic review take us - they may have spent all their cask now - no wonder the market ignores the shares.

Even if the company announces good news over the coming months it will now benefit the share price because it will have a large ? mark over it - directors need changing before we can move on.
