Bring on the results, seller should get cleared next week as no
RNS's so they must be under 3%.

From last results :

The Group achieved a net profit before tax for the year of #0.16m (2004: Loss
#1.33m as restated) on work done of #12.6m (2004: #11.9m as restated). We have
amended our accounting policy in line with UITF 40; the financial impact of
which is detailed in note 6 below. The merger with Fitzroy Robinson contributed
significantly to the improved balance sheet position as well as contributing to
a better trading performance, albeit for only the last 5 months of the year.
The stand alone Aukett operation continued to make losses during the period now
reported but an improvement was achieved in the latter months. Our cash
position also started to improve with inroads made into our debtor collection
rate on the basis of improved appointment and invoicing methodology along with a
more focused recovery programme. There are a small number of significant
project claims, totalling approximately #2.8m gross, where the Company is in
negotiations with clients for additional fees which are not included in the
reported result; some of which may be resolved during 2006. Of this sum,
approximately 50% relates to a Planning Consent success fee and the remainder
relates to time related costs for the extended scope of services on various
projects.

Saying that there's 2 x 600k T trades so maybe more delayed
buys to show.

[quotes_4_u] 05/5/2006 16:26

600k reduced from the overhang today.

[charmer1_23] 05/5/2006 16:08

Good to see at least 3 mm's in the stock now. ;--))

[jdung] 05/5/2006 11:35

city boys may chang their hold,looking for end trade day.

[quotes_4_u] 05/5/2006 09:45

That's nice to hear :-))

Just to point out again that Auk are one of two quoted architects
quoted, the other is Smc, have a look at how well they have done
over the last 2 years, they are a much bigger business, at these
low prices Auk is also vunerable to a bid from Smc or a merger.

4.56-4.85p offer for 150k each, offer price online dropped a little,
makes you wonder who is selling even after more good news !

Thanks for that.

Always appreciate your posts!

[quotes_4_u] 05/5/2006 09:23

2magpies.

Using online limits you can easily tell if there's a overhang of
a shortage of stock.

It's been 150k offer online for a while now, even though there was
a 1 mil buy recently at 5p and even though there's been over 250k
of buys this morning (that includes my trade).

When it shot up to 7p recently the mm's had no stock, it was always
150k bid and 10-25k offered

The online bid size has jumped from 37.5k to 150k this morning which
is a good sign, overhangs should not be knocked, they allow us to buy
in cheaply, after recent news we should not be allowed to buy Auk below
5p but this is the case for now.

I didn't know that they did the Royal Exchange in London. For those of us who have seen it, before & after, the transformation has been amazing. And you couldn't get a more iconic location: bang next door to the Bank of England.

Good to see you're backing your views with your wallet.

By the way, how do you know that WINs have an overhang?

[quotes_4_u] 05/5/2006 09:12

They never disclose the size of the deals ang5 !

But there's been numerous contracts this year and Auk has turned
the corner following the merger, they have returned to profitability
and things will continue to improve, only this Wins overhang is keeping
the price below 5p.

I've just this minute doubled my holding, very confident, and as normal
my trade will not show which is not right.

[ang5] 05/5/2006 09:05

today news "contract gains...", Is it big contract?
if yes, maybe big upside. any news??

[quotes_4_u] 05/5/2006 08:26

And Scap has returned as a mm which is equally good news, never
that great when there's just 2 mm's so 3 mm's does help.

[2magpies] 05/5/2006 08:25

That's some pretty high-profile contracts!!

[quotes_4_u] 05/5/2006 08:22

More good news.

Contract Gains

Aukett Fitzroy Robinson Group Plc ("AUK/L")
Contract Gains

Aukett Fitzroy Robinson Group Plc ("Aukett Fitzroy Robinson"), the international
group of architects and designers, announces contract gains for the regeneration
of two historic UK landmark schemes.

The practice has a strong track record of redeveloping listed buildings,
including the Royal Exchange, City of London and The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire.

These contract gains have the potential to contribute to the Group's results for
several years.

The Coal Exchange, Cardiff
The Coal Exchange is a Grade II* listed building for which Aukett Fitzroy
Robinson have been contracted to design a residential-led, mixed-use scheme,
incorporating a vibrant mix of office, retail and leisure units for Macob
Exchange Ltd, a subsidiary of the South Wales based development and construction
group Macob Holdings.

The #20m scheme will retain and enhance the building's historic central hall,
creating a unique venue for public events. It is anticipated that the scheme
will breathe new vitality into the area securing a sustainable future for this
important historic building.

St Mary Le Port, Bristol
Aukett Fitzroy Robinson have been contracted to masterplan and assist in the
future #150m redevelopment of the key 5 acre waterfront site of St Mary le Port,
for local developer Deeley Freed.

The site, largely unused for the past six years since the departure of the Bank
of England and Norwich Union will be the focus of an ambitious mixed-use scheme
comprising retail, office and residential elements.

The project is considered crucial to the long-term regeneration of the City
centre, linking a planned #500m extension to the Broadmead Shopping Centre and
the emerging Temple Quarter office area.

Ends.

I think I would have to agree with Haystack.

2p.

[quotes_4_u] 02/5/2006 16:47

Think it will 24p very soon though :-))

[petedavies] 02/5/2006 16:45

Fair value 2p!

[quotes_4_u] 02/5/2006 16:44

Actually fair value is 12p :-))

[petedavies] 02/5/2006 16:41

Looks like two delayed sells from earlier. Hence the fall.

[quotes_4_u] 02/5/2006 16:32

Great volume and 2 x 250k protected trades, unless a large delayed
buy i think they are a buy and sell.

Overhang will clear soon if high volumes continue, fair value 6p.

[petedavies] 02/5/2006 13:58

Nasty chart

The 20 day short term moving average is turning sharply down towards the longer term MAs.

If it crosses then it will be a very bearish 'dead cross' chart pattern and

faster falls can be exected.

[quotes_4_u] 02/5/2006 10:32

When wins clears their overhang i think Auk can make another push
towards 6p+.

Lots of buying but still 4.68p offer for 100k.

Like a nasty rash that won't go away...

This person is very scared that this share is going to go up for some reason,persistently posting the same thing day after day. Or he could be trying for a qualification in being sad, annoying and repetitive. If so, he will get a distinction.
