Half a penny value at tops!

[27howard] 05/1/2012 21:05

Bidding 3.43p today for size, full 3.75p offer to buy.
Some profit taking after it doubled but it should not dip below 3p again
now it's on the radar of many.

[27howard] 03/1/2012 10:39

Could hit 4p today, just 10k online available at 3.25p

This one is worth a small punt for 2012. But only 1% of any folio.
Agree, it could half or five bag, can be either.

Been asked to look in here, and have to say if fees have not been slashed [which i think they have] then will do well with an upturn, [if they get paid.]

The £80M order book is fine but most of the work at this stage of projects is to price up the build costs, after that, stops dead as projects fail to get off the ground.

Russia has well known in built risks.

That said it is companies like this that can ten bag fast.

Research historical results here and you will find each time there is a major upturn in turnover/fees Auk's profits go through the roof.

In their full results ending Sep 2007, the last time turnover jumped their
results were buoyant and as follows.

* Group turnover up 21% to �19.7m with strong growth in the UK hotel and
retails sectors, and Russian operation.

* Profit before tax up �1.6m to �2.4m as a result of turnover and margin
growth.

* 136% growth in earnings to 1.06 pence per share.

* Strong cash flow with �1.8m of net cash inflow before financing
leading to the elimination of net debt.

The following year they made similar profits on over 20 million of turnover, if they have margins anywhere near similar then if they do reach the 80 mil of fees
they hope for in their latest trading update, say over 24 months then that would be 40 mil, it could mean profits of over 4 million or over the current market cap, a sensible PER of 5-10 would mean a share price of 15-30p, current price 3.25p to buy, could be way out but there is going to be a jump in profits regardless to 3.25p is way too low.

3p just paid, not much stock around.

[27howard] 28/12/2011 18:16

Bidding 2.25p, wait for 10.25p in a few months.

[27howard] 28/12/2011 09:55

[27howard] 27/12/2011 15:06

Fair dues, you pay 10p+ i pay under 2.5p he who dares

[n3tleylucas] 27/12/2011 11:38

yes mate ... but with a firm with a history of disappointing the market ... I want to be certain they'll deliver good news ... I don't need to take the risk ... if they can demonstrate solid earnings in 2013 and onwards ... there will be plenty left for me ... don't you worry LOL ... you have the 1st few hundred % mate ... I'll have the rest ... with much less risk ...

[27howard] 27/12/2011 09:28

This is a cyclical business and when it's good it will be very good, yes netley you can wait for conformation of a huge increase in fees and profits but you will also pay double figures for the shares, those that take the chance now will reap the rewards, peeps paid over 5.5p on the day of the trading update and now it's under 2.5p to buy which represents outstanding value.

[n3tleylucas] 26/12/2011 23:57

steady on howie ... LOL ... if there's any jam here ... it ain't coming next year ... maybe a pump in anticipation of 2013 and beyond ... but you are factoring in no disappointments? ... hmmm ... if this is the same firm I remember from years ago ... they delivered much disappointment ... track-record? ... I have an open mind ... for now ... gl ... hic!

20 September 2011

Aukett Fitzroy Robinson Group Plc

("the Company")

Trading update

"We are pleased to announce that a stronger end to the current financial year will return the Group to profit in the second half before an exceptional item relating to the previously announced litigation costs. For the year as a whole therefore, we expect to make a much reduced operating loss.

There has been a marked improvement in the number and size of new enquiries both in the UK and in our Russian business. These are mainly prestige projects that will be built in 2013 and beyond. However, as architects, much of Aukett Fitzroy Robinson's input on these projects will occur before the construction phase over the next 18 to 24 months.

The Group has been instructed on the feasibility and planning phases of a total of 24 new projects in the UK and Russia, which provide some 6.8 million sq ft of development space with a combined construction value of GBP891 million.

The Group order book currently stands at 42 schemes or projects which provide 19.70 million sq ft of development space with a combined construction value of GBP2,219 million. Should all these schemes proceed to completion the balance of fees due to AFR would be GBP82 million.

The impact of this will be seen mainly in the year ending 30 September 2012 and beyond. "
