Bisichi Share Discussion Threads

Sensational numbers. No reaction by market. To me it seems the directors have actually earned their £2m this year. £2m looks ridiculously high for a £12m company, but with those results BISI could realistically be a £40m company.

odds on higher bonus and flat dividend for us

[ntv] 26/4/2019 10:20

lets see if Heller pay packet has gone up much and what bonus he will get

[ntv] 26/4/2019 10:19

not sure but probably early next week

When are results out?

[ntv] 24/4/2019 07:55

presuming EPS of around 40p but not so good going forward by the looks of it
Could be an interesting AGM

Hmm, reported profits will be great but going forward this Richards Bay chart suggests the current year will be tougher;

[bisiboy] 26/2/2019 09:52

true perhaps helped by a little more restraint on drawings!

[ntv] 26/2/2019 08:49

hhmm interesting price movement recently, but you have to ask the question : Where would the share price be if the city had more respect for the company and it's directors?

[callumross] 31/12/2018 14:47

Think at price you have paid you will make a decent return if you tuck this one away rather than seek to trade it. Guess the rating is so low due to family control and fact that their property investments are mainly retail sector which is not exactly flavour of the month

Thanks again - I know DYOR prevails - but useful if someones read it before

These are the relevant sections in terms of life of reserves

"The permanent infrastructure improvements at Black Wattle will have a positive impact on the returns achievable from our existing coal reserves and should open up new opportunities to mine similar coal reserves in the surrounding area. Accordingly, we remain confident about the ability of our South African coal mining operations to continue to contribute to our group earnings and cash generation for the foreseeable future.”

AND

"Looking forward to the rest of this year, management will continue to focus on increasing our life of mine at Black Wattle, through the acquisition of additional coal reserves, as well as maintaining levels of production in order to benefit from the higher prices achievable for our coal."

Thanks for the heads up on reserves.
Got in this morning at 87p and 89p just before the bounce. With a spread of 12% this is likely to be a slow mover until any news hits.

[callumross] 30/12/2018 15:58

Last statement said they had many years left to mine exhaustion and were actively seeking fresh reserves

[whentobuy] 30/12/2018 12:10

Profitability increase Y-O-Y looks like circa 12% on the price (straight to the bottom line) and 17% on volume up to 670k tonnes. The price seems to have roughly held at an average $98/tonne 2nd half. Did the volume hold at 670k tonnes?
More importantly are there sufficient accessible reserves for this to continue/increase?

[ntv] 22/12/2018 09:59

price coming down means another share option award soon?

[ntv] 22/11/2018 09:52

they should take a leaf out of AAZ book and see the benefit on mkt valuation

Strangely, those 3 transactions today are incorrectly marked as sales when in fact they are £15000 worth of buys.

[ntv] 07/11/2018 17:08

my partner bought a few more yesterday but it still worries me how they give someone £1.8m and not protect the company against loses
school boy stuff
Now I have got this coal mine in SA that I would like to sell. £1.8m deposit is all I want paid into my swiss bank account number 456.....

[callumross] 05/11/2018 19:49

Well, they are trying to recover some of it;

During the year the group wrote off its £1.8million investment in Ezimbokodweni Mining (Pty) Limited (“Ezimbokodweni”) made up of a £1.4million loan (2016: £1.4million) and a £0.4million (2016: £0.4million) joint venture investment.
The carrying value of the investment was dependent upon the completion of the acquisition of the Pegasus coal project (“the project”) in South Africa. Although a proposed sale and purchase agreement had been negotiated and a deposit paid for the project, the conclusion of the transaction had been delayed pending the commercial transfer of the prospecting right from the current owners of the project to Ezimbokodweni. Although the group has always remained committed to completing the transaction, previous negotiations to complete the commercial acquisition of the project had been beset by various delays outside of its control and at the beginning of 2017, the current owners of the project notified Ezimbokodweni that they no longer wished to divest the project. More recently, the group was notified that an agreement was reached between the current owners of the project and the directors of Ezimbokodweni for the deposit for the project to be returned and any further negotiations with Ezimbokodweni to acquire the project to be terminated. Although, a legal claim by the group has been issued against Ezimbokodweni and its representatives, in order for the group to recover some of the investment, the Board has considered it to be appropriate to write off the investment in full in the 2017 year end.

Unreal value to be fair considering the profits they should be making
but someone wants the price lower
I wonder who has got the £1.8m that disappeared

[ntv] 30/9/2018 13:04

maxk
they are lowly rated as well
got a small position there as well

[callumross] 15/9/2018 23:18

Maybe the interim dividend wasn't increased because they need to conserve cash for the redevelopment of the recently acquired property joint venture?
