So 13p possible in a winding up. I hope the banks let them continue to run the portfolios (for a fee).

Some chunky volume in DTR today. I imagine hedgies are squaring up ahead of a winding up of the company. Only one of the spv will be safe from breaking covenants and the intention was to stop funding them any more. That should mean cash held at parent level is returned to shareholders pretty soon. Can't remember the numbers I calculated a while back but should see a fair bit of upside even from here.

[crawford] 12/1/2009 13:56

Is this the breakout?

[crawford] 12/1/2009 12:31

EGM approved, nice uplift.

[crawford] 06/1/2009 10:10

Nice uptrend developing.

[crawford] 29/12/2008 14:23

[crawford] 22/12/2008 21:30

Nice recovery.

[crawford] 19/12/2008 18:18

Strong finish here.

[crawford] 19/12/2008 13:38

I see that; I'm biding my time....

[andrbea] 19/12/2008 13:37

buy both :-)

just did a post to ucp board.

[crawford] 19/12/2008 12:18

A good rise today, which is best - this or UCP?

[crawford] 05/12/2008 14:39

thanks nick,
wasn't the parent level cash around the Eur150m mark until recently? I guess they have paid down some debts with it, but if this remains constant then it should provide some comfort at these prices.

[nickcduk] 05/12/2008 11:47

Parent level cash is indeed untouchable by the banks but in today's market I am not sure trading near cash is a divine right. There has been some healthy buying in the market. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the activist shareholders get DTR to hand back cash in the short term. Ive had to move up my bid to just over 5c in order to try and get a fill. I imagine I am up against some of the activist shareholders who are looking to bolster their holdings ahead of a potential move.

[crawford] 05/12/2008 11:31

nick,
so the parent level cash is untouchable by the banks? If that is true, then we should be trading at double the current share price IMHO.

Regards.

I sought clarity yesterday on where the costs are charged and I was told that operating costs were taken at each individual SPV level. That way if they go into cash trap the operating expenses (i.e. 3% of rent) can be covered. I was told at parent level the balance sheet is pretty simple. Interest on cash balances probably covers running costs or thereabouts at parent company level. Give the company a call if you want further clarification. Very happy to chat to things through.

[nickcduk] 05/12/2008 08:54

Following my conversation yesterday there will be no more money put into the SPV's. The operating costs are borne from within the SPV's so winding the lot up won't necessarily cost DTR. They explained that they would try and persuade the banks to let them run the assets for them despite the LTV breaches. It would be a huge hassle under German legislation to take control themselves and they are unlikely to be able to run the operating side any more efficiently that DTR currently do. Hence DTR will likely carry on management activities. The 75m euros excludes over 10m of unencumbered properties and around 5m or so a quarter which will flow in until all the SPV's go into cash trap. When that will be will depend on when lenders ask for next set of valuations. They are also looking to take out 10m from one of their facilities which has modest gearing and won't break its covenants. All in they will have around 100m or so at parent company level. That equates to around 16.6c a share. Left a little room for margin and hence my 13-15c estimate as a potential return.

[crawford] 04/12/2008 15:02

Ok,
thanks nickcduk. I noticed that they said 3 of the 5 silos were likely to breach.
How accommodating will the banks be, that's my question. Does the cuts in the Euro interest rates/Libor help us?

I think the upside here could be huge but it has it's risks. It's not in the banks interests to call in these debts.

[nickcduk] 04/12/2008 13:53

When I say winding it up I mean if they just walked away from their investments in the SPV's. 4 out of the 5 are likely to breach or have already breached LTV covenants. At that point the banks can call in their loans. Very little chance of DTR being able to sell their portfolios at around current market value and hence no return is likely from the SPV in the event of the company being wound up. Think of the 13-15c as the worst case scenario. That makes the current share price very attractive and hence why I am looking to load up on them.

[crawford] 04/12/2008 13:37

nickcduk,
did I get this right - winding the company up would result in only 13-15cents cash? The NAV in June was 90c + 10cents hedging = 100c.

Surely a third of this would be more appropriate for winding up? I don't think that would be in the best interests of anyone presently. It looks like the big shareholders were already consulted and they didn't want a cash injection.

Thanks for your post BTW.

[nickcduk] 04/12/2008 13:19

Had a chat with the company earlier today. The view from the top is quite clear. No more cash from the parent company will be invested into the SPV's to shore up the LTV covenants. They have approx. 75m cash, about 10m unencumbered properties, about 10m or so they are looking to draw from the JP Morgan SPV and about 5m from those SPV's which are not in cash trap yet. They hope to persuade banks to let them continue running the SPV's and waive covenants. If they do they then could possibly end up with most of the portfolio in tact and an outside chance the company will recover back towards NAV. Thats the best case scenario but at the same time pretty unlikely. On the flipside they have cash and assets. That equates to substantially more current price. Activist shareholders may push them to wind the company up and return cash. A figure of around 13-15c wouldn't be an unreasonable guess. Am looking to buy an aggressive position if we spike lower. Company considering share buybacks again as well.
