Balcony, can there be more bad news??

[empirestate] 30/8/2012 11:32

picked up a few here this morning, looks like the bounce has come early, but reckon the outlook in the results should be more positive and create a decent move north in the sp

[balcony] 30/8/2012 10:25

On the move,i was thinking bad news was going to arrive this morning

[fillipe] 30/8/2012 09:37

Thanks empire. I'll take a longer look. Good luck with everything.....I must say, it's not easy - compared to 8-20mths ago.

hello fillipe, all is well thank you, could be a possible bounce here at the time of results once they tell all on the outlook. looking reasonable value at the mo but may have a little further to drop as there appears some panic over their results and there is typically no buy interest to balance the sell side trade.

[fillipe] 29/8/2012 21:39

Hi empire. I also watch this outfit with vague interest....one I dropped a bucketload on, donkey's years ago.

Hope all's well with you

Quote from the recent RI -

"We have listened carefully to the considered views of our key distributors across Europe over the last few weeks,"

Pity they didn't have an intimate relationship with these five years ago!

I see the company is now softening us up for another asset disposal - the property in Leeds - with reference to its 'book' value rather than its current marketable value. If this too goes without a professional valuation, I think we shall all know where we stand - if we didn't already.

What a mess this is, if they are can't make it pay in Poland...well.

Institutional holders are more often asleep at the wheel....its other peoples money!!...

It is now seven long years since this company returned anything to its owners. Seven years of mismanagement and lost opportunity and in which the company has been virtually destroyed. The directors whom we appoint to run this business show such confidence in their prospects that their joint ownership barely adds up to mine. No doubt if it even returns to being the fraction of what any self respecting company should be, lottery style windfalls will be in order for them.

I see absolutely no evidence that the managers have any ability to make profitable use of the recent property sale proceeds and no reason why it should not be returned to long suffering shareholders as a capital distribution. The fact that no initiative has delivered - badging poor quality product, moving manufacture etc. - shows they don't even understand enough about the business to rectify what is wrong.

It is totally unsatisfactory, and highly suspicious, to justify the latter property sale on the basis of its rental - we should see evidence of two or three independent valuations. Several months ago, someone on this board anticipated a sale to connected persons, was this the case?

As for the institutional holders - are they asleep at the wheel. Has corporatism and self service become their motivation rather than return to their own investors?

The time has long since passed for this company to be disposed of to others better able to manage it. It cannot all be the basket case appearances suggest and we P.I.'s could make a start by demanding that property valuation ready for the next AGM with demands for change.

very disappointing news

[sscrabble] 03/7/2012 19:15

new low - well done directors !!

[grahamburn] 03/7/2012 11:38

Strange that they couldn't repatriate the net operating income from their South African company. So where has the money ended up? Will it be repatriated or will it end up staying in the disposed of company? One can but hope that they are able to "repatriate" the sale proceeds!

[felix99] 03/7/2012 11:31

yep CR - can;t beleive price not dropped more - but give it time lol

[cockneyrebel] 03/7/2012 11:17

Results 'materially below expectations' even after the new CEO recently bought 100k.

Clearly the insider CEO who move up to the job doesn't have a clue either imo.

Same old SIXH.

Interesting development for 600's laser marking division -

16 April 2012

Electrox Breaks Below The £10,000 Barrier With New Raptor And D-Box
The traditional cost implications associated with laser marking are a thing of the past thanks to the new Raptor and D-Box solution from Electrox. At a price of less than £10,000, it is the lowest cost galvo-based scanning system available in the UK market.

Panhandle: begging?

[moochy] 10/4/2012 20:00

Hello all. I've invested in here this morning. GLA.

Looks like a Pan and Handle Formation. Pan in red, Handle in blue.
