Camellia Share Discussion Threads

[piedro] 03/6/2021 12:35

Trading Statement... As always, our financial results remain largely dependent on Agriculture where the majority of harvesting, and hence sales, takes place in the second half of the year. It is therefore too early to give a firm indication of the likely results for 2021 however the factors discussed above suggest the results for the year will be approximately £2 million below market expectations. The Board of Camellia is also very much aware of the recent share price performance, which it believes is largely driven by the weakness in tea prices globally. Whilst there is little we can do regarding the tea price, a programme is being undertaken to review all non-core investments and other options with a view to maximising value for the Group and reducing UK costs. Additional detail will be issued in due course and as appropriate. - I hope they will be able to pull out of most of their sluggish operations; they have been held back for too long.

NTV re:#265, "I can't find that on page 31 of the accounts" That was from the 'Final Results' published 04/05/2021 In the Annual Report, top of pp, 37

Piedro I can't find that on page 31 of the accounts The company could have used it's heritage to produce it's own tea into supermarket cafes/deli shelves to cut out the middle men years ago instead of bragging about market share They are custodians of their own jobs like so many of the old school companies that are still listed They could easily treble the dividend using some of that spare cash Commodities have been booming recently but they haven't They could have invested some of that cash in the big drop in the market and made substantial returns for the company Sadly they have poor vision Really they should divulge more detail of the assets they own otherwise how do shareholders know whether they are sold at fair value It is sad they can't be more open to minority shareholders as has secrecy breads mistrust into why would you hide true asset value? What is the doing of it?

Something to look forward to ... Board Evaluation "The Board has agreed to undertake a performance evaluation by way of internal review every three years. The last evaluation was conducted in 2018. Details of the next review will be disclosed when the next review is completed at the end of 2021." {from: Final Results, pp.31}

It's official: South Africa's grape crop breaks previous record hTTps://www.freshplaza.com/article/9309596/it-s-official-south-africa-s-grape-crop-breaks-previous-record/?edition=2 - should be good for Linton Wines

I agree. CAM have taken the necessary action to remedy the situation and investors can feel confident that CAM is now behaving to the highest ethical standards.

[cjohn] 23/3/2021 19:23

Hello Arthur, I think the bad publicity with the incidents of violence of farm guards towards villagers may have led to a sell-off. CAM were not directly responsible: the guards worked for associated companies not under CAM's direct control. But CAM's original response was really poor: defensive and utterly lacking in compassion and understanding. They've now got it right in my view. And this may produce some change in the rather complacent corporate culture here.
