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. "

Turnover set to rocket on new contract fees, profitable now and next year
and 2013 profit should be higher than market cap, 10 bagger material.

[27howard] 22/12/2011 11:03

Auk 3.2 mil market cap.

Potential 80 mil+ in fees next 12-24 months, substantial profits to be made
buying and holding this stock.

That is now David, it's not going to get much lower is it.

[27howard] 21/12/2011 16:53

The trick is to buy into a company before the good times David and that
is this stock in a nutshell, forget the forcast, last years turnover was
under 10 million, it's now profitable and with all this new business to
come they are going to make a lot of money.
By the time you realise it's a good thing you will be paying double
figures.

27Howard....but those are long term potential projects and things will still be tough next year as well as the one just completed. The forecasts are for losses then a tiny profit so nothing to get the market truly excited about.

Probably better to stick with a decent profitable dividend payer and move to recovery stocks when you truly know recover is there. 2013 ?

Oustanding value and chance of a 5-10 bagger.

Turnover could jump 1000% next year if that trading update is
anywhere near the mark, just imagine what kind of profits they
might make if they have a conservative turnover of 40 million.

Easily more than their market cap, should be double figures.

Price hit 5.5p on that update, now 2-2.5p.

Best 10 bagger chance on the market.

[kinghorm23] 20/10/2011 15:53

17% rise.

Guess the mm's are a little short of stock :-))

[kinghorm23] 20/10/2011 15:08

He actually bought it this week and amazingly nobody followed him in.

People chasing it now, why is it a stock has to rise 10% before people
want to buy it ?

[tomboyb] 20/10/2011 15:07

Director bought 300k at 3.25p last week -

[kinghorm23] 20/10/2011 15:04

3-3.5p

Bidding 3.33p for size.

Can see this really going now there is 0 stock about.

[kinghorm23] 20/10/2011 14:43

The bid quote and size is amazing in this stock currently.

Chart look perfect as well.

Hold tight, director bought 300k the other day.

[kinghorm23] 29/9/2011 17:10

Amazing, it hit 5.25p bid intraday on the Rns.



A week later it's 2.75p offer.

[kinghorm23] 23/9/2011 15:02

Now they will take 562,500 online at 3.2p

That's massive online quote for this stock.

[kinghorm23] 22/9/2011 09:51

Quite a squeeze in this atm.

3-3.75p, sell 150k at 3.26p or buy 25k at full 3.75p offer.

If people want out the mm's certainly will take them.

[kinghorm23] 21/9/2011 22:32

All depends on the profits.

If turnover indeed goes through the rook which it has to even if they dont
convert all of that business in the trading update then they must surely make
a high % of the market cap in profits, people might be looking at the price
previous to the spike and be missing the fact that they could be seriously
undervalued even after the rise but i cannot blame you for taking a profit
they are hard to come buy currently in the small caps without a bit of luck.

I am not saying that the company does not have potential. If I thought that I would not have invested in the first place. I just think that you are being too optimistic and not emotionally detached. At this point in time I was happy to take a profit by selling at 4p. I expect the share price to drift down as there are a lor who are sitting on large paper losses and will be glad to get out at a reduced loss. I am prepared to buy back in the future if the risk/reward seems favourable. Maybe you will be proved correct but a bid of 4p seemed too good for me to refuse.
