The CEO died, they've lost huge amounts of revenue recently, with more lost revenue in 06, the former Chairman is having to return from retirement to manage the business, and they probably won't have enough cash for a further acquisition or to maintain their dividend policy. Difficult to see where the extra value is going to come from to me.

[markie7] 02/3/2006 15:10

clearly undervalued in my view.

[clarkyboy1] 03/2/2006 14:24

The share price dived before then I think old chap. It only went down 3p when he decided pushing up daisies was better than running a Plc

[moneysage] 03/2/2006 13:48

CEO died ya plonkers!

[clarkyboy1] 25/1/2006 13:48

Agreed, but perhaps the balance sheet was strong due to a sizeable pension debtor and cash. Can't do anything with the pension debtor and cash will decline in line with profitability. Network rail took back in house the highly profitable maintenance and signal training, on which I suspect the group profits largely depended.

The company is now worth a third of what they were on floatation and they'll have to slash the dividend. Their AGM might be interesting.

Clarkyboy1:> You may be a little too severe but I suspect that the rail repositioning may start to impact on other areas of their business. Balance sheet was strong at 04 results (according to Refs Net cash of 7.89p per share included in NTAV per share of 36 pence. However I agree with you about potentially uncovered dividend which is very worrying.

Looks as though some people are trying to catch falling knives - too dangerous for me.

[clarkyboy1] 25/1/2006 10:58

I think it's one of several things. Perhaps it's the former non exec being a tad naughty offloading his shares, anticipated bad news on the back of the 2005 interims, difficult to say. What is clear though is that the 2005 full year results will be awful, dividend the same, with the expectation of a further loss of £1m revenue during 06. There is a serious question in my mind over whether the company can remain solvent for more than the next 12 months given its limited scope to cut overheads. When they announced that the Chairman is taking a different strategic role, perhaps they realise how bad things are getting and are looking to sell.

Anyone got an opinion on why the share price has plummeted so much in the last couple of days? Ok so there were some pretty bad new releases over New Year, but why a sudden massive drop now?

[ix_trader] 02/2/2005 17:56

Yet another 5% rise today, this one is moving steadily upwards.

[ix_trader] 01/2/2005 23:13

A nice 5.5% rise today.

Sharp rises can be expected in the run up to the results in a few weeks time.

The result are expected to be good and will justify a share price in the 250-280p range.

[ix_trader] 18/1/2005 21:42

Share price gradually ticking up. I hear the MM's are now short of stock we will see a sharp rise over the next few weeks.
