ah yes
not disimilar to filling your tax return or attending the dentist.
Theres no rush but it has to be done eventually so there is no real reason to delay and early filing/filling prevents mishaps/more damage and helps with budgeting/dental hygiene.
A competent accountant could get the accounts ready in a day ready for signing off.

Give them a break - it's only February and this is a small company with low costs - no rush really.

Why does it take so long to get the results out on this minute company in which there has been no info for shareholders since early September? I think they should take a leaf out of Aberforth smallers book who produced their results weeks ago.

35 K STILL represents 2% of capitalisation and dealing costs are a further 21k ie over 1% so this cuts the divi from about 3.5% to 2% or less.
otherwise a good company on a nice discount.

The running costs are minimal on this one at £35k per year all in and so I don't think you can allege any "fat cat" behaviour at this company. A model example of how cheaply a company can be run on AIM!

Need to look carefully at the expenses of running this very small company. Directors awarded themselves large pay rises last year.
But some good picks in the portfolio eg Wynnstay farmers, Mountview estates ,Clarke t, Dicom, Gibbs na Dandy, Shepherd Neame,Watermark Clarksons as well as some duffers such as Clyde Marine Overall probably deserves wider recognition though almost impossible to deal in it.

I am quite happy to hold. It's a bit dull, but they have a sound investment strategy.

[mw8156] 08/11/2003 15:30

would close the discount to NAV but voted off a resolution over continuation vote at next years AGM at the last AGM

[simonevans] 06/4/2003 16:32

Results due this week. Not expecting any fireworks on this one. NAV probably dropped a bit.

VENUS CAN YOU PLEASE LEAVE THIS BB FOR GOOD.

NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN YOUR PYRAMID SELLING SCHEMES.

CASHEVOLUTION IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CON.

YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A CON MAN FOR TRYING TO SELL IT.

YOU ARE CLOGGING UP THE BB AND DESTROYING THE VALUE OF IT TO OTHER POSTERS.

YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE.

PLEASE GO AWAY.

Hi

Welcome to what I am starting to believe is going to be a great income maker in the not to distant future. I got involved with CASHEVOLUTION not so long ago and already my team is building nicely.

As I am sure you have already read, it is quite simply a case of getting people to sign up through your website e.g. mine is WWW.VENUS.CASHEVOLUTION.COM and your team building begins. Its that simple. As I explain to everyone else this is a numbers game - the more people you tell of this system, the more that will join.

The easiest way to start is to explain this system to friends and family. These are the people who will obviously trust you most. Then it is a case of letting the rest of the world know. There are numerous free traffic building sites and classified ad sites which I will list in a minute. These will help you get started but the success rate through these sites is limited. So the more you subscribe to the better your chances. Then of course there is good old leafleting. Takes time, but again, costs next to nothing. I have also had car stickers made displaying my website address. Then of course there is newspaper advertising. Almost certainly the most successful form of advertising. But it costs. I am actually about to put an ad into one of my regional papers. I will let you know how successful it was. Another idea is to speak to your local news agent. For a small fee they may be happy to slip on of your leaflets into each of their papers prior to delivery.

I am sure you have now got the jist of what I am trying to say. TELL EVERYONE. So many people are fed up with their work these days, more and more people will be willing to give these ideas a go. Anyway here are those sites I promised:



















Best of luck. Lets make this work.

Regards

Gavin

Doesn't seem to be any controlling party as such:

Major Shareholders:
1.80m 25p Ords - Cazenove & Co 14.93%, R G Boyle 26.62%(dup), H B Deschampsneufs 6.67%(dup), Other Dirs 0.18%.

47% free float which is reasonbly high.

some large shareholders control most of the shares
