I still think this will be higher soon 2magpies.

Got to clear out the profit takers.

Still good online limits on a 5.75-6.25p monitor spread.

5.95p bid for 100k v 6.2p offer for 25k

Thanks for clarifying that, guys.

Re the recent rise: there seems to have been an awful lot of, what I would call, 'nibbly' buying, over the last few days.

Are wee seeing some stake-building?

Also the combination of Aukett and Fitzroy is beginning to realise one of their stated reasons for combining: bidding for/winning bigger contracts.

The recent contract wins would seem to bear that out.

I guess they have moved well up the list of top UK architects from their previous 11th position.

Aukett announces reverse takeover of Fitzroy Robinson for 2.3 mln stg in stock

LONDON (AFX) - Aukett Group PLC said it agreed to buy rival architectural
design company Fitzroy Robinson for 2.3 mln stg in stock, in a move to enlarge
the two groups and enable them to compete for higher profile projects.
The AIM-listed group, which provides design services to the property and
construction companies, said in November it was in talks on the deal, which due
to its size is classed as a reverse takeover. Aukett will pay Fitzroy 72.4 mln
new shares, representing just under 50 pct of the enlarged company's stock.

q4u

I'll do my best!

I nice tip in the IC or something would help of course

[2magpies] 05/4/2006 09:11

quotes_4_u

All I've done is worked back from the published figs. Simply dividing the profit/loss figure by the number of shares as mentioned on ADVFN and the result is the same eps/loss ps as the figure given by AUK themselves - see the relevant RNSs.

So that means the ADVFN info is correct.

You have previously said that a valuation of £10m was 'up with events'. But, if the actual (correctly calculated) market cap is £4.8m then you have to accept that the price needs to double in order to meet your own criteria?

[quotes_4_u] 05/4/2006 09:05

I'm not a accountant 2m, i hope i'm wrong, look at the early
posts in the thread, charmer made a comment about the market cap.

[2magpies] 05/4/2006 09:00

quotes_4_u

I have looked back at the interims (6 mos ended 31/3/05): loss of £175,000 gives a loss per share of approx 0.24p and equates to roughly 72.42m shares.

And the final (12 mos 30/9/05 -- released in January this year) shows a profit of £159,000 giving eps of 0.22p which also equates roughly to 72.42m shares.

Both the figs, loss per share and eps, (give or take) are actually mentioned in the RNS.

If you are right re valuation (basing your calcs on the number of shares in issue) the price should, by your admission be double what it is now.

Perhaps you are using Authorised Share Capital and not Issued Shares.

[quotes_4_u] 05/4/2006 08:45

How do you think they paid for Fitzroy 2m ?

70 odd million shares helped, look at 2005 annual report.

144 million shares, market cap is approx double what advfn
says.

Long term i expect the price to do well, short term the market
cap is catching up with events.

Could still break out on the chart, i feel consolidation is needed,
maybe the_p can pump it all over advfn to help the breakout :-))

[the_professor] 05/4/2006 08:03

Oops, didn't last long. But it's bullish!

[the_professor] 05/4/2006 07:55

2magpies

Thanks for that. I significant mark-up this morning?

[2magpies] 04/4/2006 22:34

quote_4_u

based on 72.2m shares, the market cap is correct @ approx 4.8m

Do you think that shares figure in incorrect?

The_Professor

I've had another look @ the charts: it appears that 6.75+ will be the more convincing level for a proper breakout and a good run to 10p (? and beyond??)

[the_professor] 04/4/2006 16:25

Hope this is the trading range break-out you cahps were talking about

[the_professor] 04/4/2006 16:23

At the risk of being labelled a P&D'er by our friend quotes may I say that this was exactly as I predicted - slow and steady up to 10p!

[quotes_4_u] 04/4/2006 15:02

2m.

Auk is now valued at approx 8.5mil, advfn is rubbish for keeping
market caps upto date, in fact they have some nerve for calling
themselves no1, it's a badly maintained site.

[2magpies] 04/4/2006 13:13

Houston: do we have lift-off?

[2magpies] 04/4/2006 10:52

quotes_4_u

Those are nice limits!

How odd that AUK should still be valued at less than £5m.

It would not surprise me if there is more director buying. All those contracts with headline brand names has to be very positive ongoing development (IMO).

[quotes_4_u] 04/4/2006 10:15

Very good online limits 2m !

6.2p bid for 150k v 6.48p offer for 10k.

"You will and cannot stop P&D'ers so I suggest you stop trying"

Is that a confession then ?

You are right i will never be able to stop it but i can warn of it,
that reminds me of Pyc where you and gagner went very quiet, i would
have apologised if i was you for pumping it up with him.

[2magpies] 04/4/2006 09:55

Very close to breakout area.

MMs are still v.v. desperate for stock.

I have watched these for so long.

Could this be it?

[the_professor] 04/4/2006 08:41

By the way, we all have different agendas or targets for a shareprice. You might have a 10p target for this one within a year, however mine is 10p within a month. That's my target and I doubt if many holders here would object if indeed it becomes a reality

[the_professor] 04/4/2006 08:38

quotes_4_u

"I would prefer you didnt turn this thread into a pump and dump" You seem to feel that you have sole rights to decide what people can post on a BB, quotes4u. The whole purpose of these boards if for one to give freely his opinion. You will and cannot stop P&D'ers so I suggest you stop trying. As far as "go quiet" is concerned you seem to be a bit of a hypocrite there. I see your incessant posts on those shares that are moving upwards, but hardly anything on those shares which are going nowhere and in which you say you have a holding!

[quotes_4_u] 03/4/2006 20:38

I would prefer you didnt turn this thread into a pump and dump
The_Professor, i've seen your posts on other threads and you quickly
go quiet when things dont go your way.

Auk will be a winner, it will go higher but this is a long term view,
it is profitable and has numerous new contracts.

It's on the verge of a major breakout into a new trading range if it
can consolidate or rise just a fraction more and hold but it's not
certain yet.

I'm not fussed wether it hits 10p tomorrow or in December so i dont need
to ramp it up, i'm just confident of the business and if the business is
sound the chart will tell the story long term.

I've noticed many trades dont appear which is very misleading and unfair,
volume precedes the rise but if the mm's are not showing all the trades
then people dont see the real picture, many of my purchases in Auk did
not show either.
