more - Last time ADS started being marked up it went from .21 to .7 within a week... I wonder is another share price explosion about to send ADS into orbit again

[grlz] 11/11/2011 12:33

[moreforus] 10/11/2011 16:21

hopefully today was capitulation and all bought have got their timing right!

[grlz] 10/11/2011 16:20

any news will move the price sharply, ADS is overdue an announcement given the steps management have taken turning the business around

[moreforus] 10/11/2011 16:12

yep

got mine at 0.12 and 0,13

already had some higher (ouch!!)

[grlz] 10/11/2011 16:10

more - MMs look short on stock 1.499 for 250k - 1.744 for 500k thats a large difference for a small investment imho

[moreforus] 10/11/2011 16:05

i simply cannot believe these have fallen so low ....i've done a buffet and got greedy (well left some for others!)

[superjane] 10/11/2011 16:03

Agreed ADS looks very interesting. The institutional investors liked it at 0.20 when they grabbed the placing.

Just purchased a small tranche.

yep and they had a placing in July at 0.20p

this seems nuts

[grlz] 10/11/2011 15:42

shares worth 2.25 on assets alone - get a profitable business for free at these levels.

[grlz] 10/11/2011 15:36

don't blame you - bargain levels bids up to 1.499 now ;)

[moreforus] 10/11/2011 15:34

bonkers

took some

[grlz] 10/11/2011 15:28

..on nothing, appears to have support at 1.3 - looks like one of the MM's mistook the 250k buy as a sale and dropped the bid to .1194 allowing a couple of others entry on the cheap. That didn't last long though, back at 1.3 bid

Story remains the same ADS has turned the corner and now is operating in profit, subject to investment revaluations of stock it took in lieu of fees from corporate clients.

HALF YEARLY REPORT

HIGHLIGHTS

-- Group revenue of GBP1,509,070 (2010: GBP1,450,119) up 4.1%

-- Corporate revenue GBP622,398 (2010: GBP440,976) up 41%

-- Operating profit GBP92,000 (2010: GBP(193,000)); maiden operating profit

...with total assets now nearly twice the MK and the company making money where is the downside?

[moreforus] 10/11/2011 15:04

[zodiac266] 27/10/2011 15:16

ADS trading up date and placing

110 mill shares at 0.20p...

95 mill taken by BoD

15 mill left..

Trading in the first six months started strongly with the Company benefiting from cost savings that were implemented at the end of December 2010. The Directors believe that the investment environment remains unsettled and, like much of the investment banking community, the Company has seen a slowdown in its markets as summer approached. Nevertheless, trading in June 2011 and to date in July 2011 has been good with the most recent management accounts showing the Company making a small profit for the year to date.

In the Half Yearly Report, the Board expects the Company to show a small loss for the period, significantly below that for the corresponding period last year. This loss is due to a number of factors including delays in completing corporate transactions, a significant increase in irrecoverable VAT (in part due to the increase in VAT this year) and higher FSA fees as part of our cost of regulation.

Alexander David continues to make good progress in what have been volatile market conditions. Looking forward, the Directors believe that the Company should continue to benefit from its client base in the equity markets and from its good pipeline of corporate transactions. However, the Directors are also aware that, with the uncertainty in the global markets, trading conditions in the UK could change rapidly. Accordingly, the Board believe that it is prudent to ensure that the Company remains well capitalised and has therefore raised GBP221,500 by way of a placing of new ordinary shares.

ADS 500k is 0.198p

1 mill is 0.276p

those 15 mill are parked safely somewhere..given what ADS actually do...
