mctmct, I don't normally ever mention London South East here, out of respect for ADVN.
However they do have a lot of posts on the subject of OPL on the ABA board there.
But I'm still not that much wiser and it speaks of a 1 x OPL for every 25 ABA/OXP.
I still have to speak with Barc's.

Thanks, I'll do that.
At present all I'm seeing is what appears to be a straight unchanged OXP holding, in terms of the number of shares, but now listed as ABA at pretty much the share price which correlates to a more or less unchanged OXP share price

But I'll looksee a bit more deeply and speak to Barc's.

Best,

OXP reorganised into a cash shell and a private company called Oxford Pharmascience Limited (OPL). It then announced that its shares in OPL would be distributed "in specie" to existing shareholders (presumably OXP shareholders). OXP then renamed itself Abaco Capital (with the EPIC ABA). ABA has subsequently failed to find a reverse takeover and has announced that it will return its cash to ABA shareholders.

But where are the OPL shares? Has anyone received them?

Glad I ain't on my own EJ :-) A nice dip to buy on imo - ABA hit by misplaced sentiment because Dixsons Group posted such a carp statement today - their problems are their own making imo.

I'm shorting DSGI but well long ABA

Are there any predictions on what their divi payment will be this year?

Looks very similar to Amstrad as a company with moribund ideas and product that is in severe need of a shake up.

The shares doubled after the first profits warning. They dropped quickly to £3, on the second, but then have really drifted hard back to nearly £2. It was that last drift that I meant in terms of no news (since the warning in February). I think you'll be surprised how flexible they can be with their orders and their product range. It's not going to be immediate, but they don't have a factory to close and hundreds of employees to lay off. The value of the brands is in at around the £2 level, so you get the business for free. That's why it was oversold in my view. If they're able to keep the dividend, the banks must be happy too.

Problem is we do not know if they are definately buys. The price certainly has not gone up in fact it has drifted lower.

Argos are the main suppliers for Bush and Alba always have been but they are now having their own stuff made so I imagine that they will be pushing that and undercutting on price.
Also they do not buy the goods they take them on consignment only paying for what they sell.

Things do not look to good for ABA at the moment summer is not traditionally a good TV shopping time as people spend more time outside.

Times they are a changing!
It had to happen the supermarkets that were ABAs core business soon realised they do not need a middleman and that their volumes were enough to justify ordering direct with their own branding.
ABAs only real course of action is identifiying their profitable sectors and concentrating on them radically cutting costs. It may mean lower turnover but at least they can make some profit.
Also debt needs to be lowered but if all their goods are out on consignment I really cannot see how this can be done.
I assume the supermarkets are demanding longer credit times as are most retailers.
When ever Philip Green takes over a retail concern the first thing he does is tell all his suppliers that payment is 60 days not 30 take it or leave it, a lot of manufacturers who were basically relying on his business closed down.
ABA is probably still a very good business but the management ie the controlloing family need a shake up.Their internet TV was a shambles and it lost them 15 million pounds anybody who had the slightest idea about the internet at the time could see it was a stupid idea. Maybe the institutional shareholders need to intervene.

Alba & Bush brands have never been associated with quality as far as I'm aware. they were always cheap budget brands. People used to buy them when the top brands were too expensive. However, Goodmans was a quality brand as far as loudspeakers were concerned. The problem with our Alba Group is all the supermarkets are at it with their own branded cheap electrical items....even Sainsburys offer CD players etc under their own Red name. Asda use the Pacific and Dual brand.....even Argos.. a big customer of ABA is having dvd players and micro systems branded for them by Acoustic Solutions, at knockdown prices, this is bound to have an impact on ABA. Tesco are buying huge blocks of Alba/Bush kit and selling it for next to nothing...it's almost like Alba's dumping ground for bankrupt stock. I dread to think what the profit margins are after the retailer has had it's cut. Alot of the stuff I see out there is the old analogue tv's and other obsolete Alba kit. Not much Alba/Bush stuff seems to be digital as far as tv's are concerned.
I think Alba needs a re-think!
