Bad, I think you've been proved right; however, when seeing results like today's it surely must tempt investors. They show such consistency of performance come rain or shine.

Hold recommendation from Growth Company Investor
Posted at 06/5/2009 07:28 by hotstuff
If you look at the graph nearly every investor is well down on this share except those who have bought very recently,so the bid will need to be enough to satisfy those investors,i.e.150p min.imho.

The Investors chronicle sell recommendation at 60p looks pretty stupid now.

Esentially a well run company whose brand and product will see it through hard trading times. However why would any investor pick a sector where input costs are rising and output ie turnover is threatended by a recession? Ok for thise in the company - the Board won't be sacked and good staff will keep their jobs, but not for me right now...as though I had a choice! Good luck all holders.

Carluccio's

Our view: Hold

Share price: 195p

Antonio Carluccio may no longer have much role in the day-to-day running of the eaterie that bears his name, but the brand continues to expand and produce encouraging results.

Most of its venues are located in or around London and cater for affluent professionals looking for something a little different to the average pizza parlour. Opening hours also give the group an advantage over its rivals, with its restaurants generally serving 8am until 11pm, meaning that in certain venues Carluccio's is full most of the day.

Each venue in the 30-strong chain also boasts a delicatessen selling upmarket specialities, for example, olive oil at £20 a bottle, boosting revenues. But even for City types, it is probably a place for gift-buying rather than the weekly family shop.

Adjusted half-year pre-tax profits jumped 28 per cent to £2.5m on a 20 per cent hike in turnover to £25.9m and a maiden dividend of 0.6p a share is to be paid in June. Six new locations were opened during the first half and there is plenty of scope to expand the group outside London.

Carluccio's remains a strong brand with good potential, and private equity has shown plenty of interest in restaurant assets. However, the roll-out of new sites is not happening as quickly as the City wants and investors should question whether the stock still deserves to trade at a premium to its peers. The shares have performed strongly since coming to the market but have lost some momentum and for now the upside looks priced in. Hold.

Details of Investors Chronicle article (24-30 Nov issue):

The article was in a feature headed "Pick up a Bargain – 10 everyday shares with further to go".

This was a follow up to a similar portfolio suggested last November entitled "10 Shares That Will Deliver", selected by Peter Lynch of Fidelity's Magellan Fund fame, which showed an average gain of 73% over the year.
The premise was that you should "Invest within your circle of competence" (Buffett), by only choosing companies that are easy to understand, and that most investors have contact with in their daily lives (or deaths).

One of the picks this year was Carluccio's:

CARLUCCIO'S
In last years feature we picked Clapham House (+ 61%), because I had been to a couple of their outlets, enjoyed the food, and noticed that they were packed. So when I was sitting in Carluccio's recently I was interested to see that it, too, was packed – at 9.30 am! The company was founded by Antonio and Pricilla Carluccio in 1991 with the opening of an authentic Italian food shop in Covent Garden. It opened 5 new deli-style restaurants in the most recent financial year, taking the total to 27. That is now translating into higher sales and profits – for the year to 24th September, sales grew 24%, with pre-tax profits ahead of expectations. The company is planning to open a further 5 new outlets this financial year – it has already opened one in Brunswick, and has secured a site in Walton-on-Thames.

As a matter of interest, the other 9 picks were:
Dignity
Entertainment Rights
BskyB
Yell
Yougov (Also one of last years picks, making 198% so far)
Tesco
Avanti Screenmedia
Speedy Hire
BT

Carlyle holds Qinetiq shares in tax haven
By Robert Peston and Sylvia Pfeifer (Filed: 31/07/2005)


Investors set to make a colossal profit on their investments in Qinetiq, the former research arm of the Ministry of Defence, have registered their shareholdings in Guernsey, the offshore tax haven.





According to filings by Qinetiq - which is still 56 per cent owned by the MoD - shares controlled by Carlyle, the US private equity firm, are held in Guernsey-domiciled investment vehicles, as are shares in an employee share plan for the benefit of Qinetiq's staff.

The disclosure will cause a political storm, given that Carlyle and Qinetiq's executives are set to make huge gains when the business is floated for around £1.1bn in the autumn.

As disclosed in last week's Sunday Telegraph, Carlyle will emerge with a shareholding worth around £340m, having made an initial outlay of £4.2m for ordinary shares in Qinetiq and £38m in preference shares just over two years ago.

Yesterday, John McFall, the chairman of the influential Treasury Select Committee, said: "This seems a one-way -offshore ticket to unprecedented spoils. The individuals and the companies involved are obviously much smarter than the Government and it seems a textbook example of an unsophisticated business approach, with the taxpayer appearing to come off a poor second best."

David Crausby, vice-chair of the Defence Select Committee, said it would be "disgraceful if they didn't pay tax on such a return". He added: "It's rubbing salt in the wound of the taxpayer."

An executive close to Carlyle said the MoD had approved the way that the investment was structured, including holding the shares in Guernsey.

The executive said the reason for registering the shares in the offshore location was not to avoid the payment of tax but to prevent the funds holding the shares being taxed prior to the individual investors in the relevant funds being taxed. "It's about avoiding double taxation," the executive said.

However, the identity of the investors in Carlyle's funds is not known, so it is impossible to determine whether any of them would pay tax in the UK on their holdings in Qinetiq.

Filings by Qinetiq show that 30.5 per cent of its equity is held by CEP Investment Administration, which is the vehicle for investment in the defence business made by funds managed by Carlyle.

CEP's address is given as Berkeley Square in London, where Carlyle is based. But it is not registered as a UK company. It is, however, registered with the Guernsey Financial Services Commission as carrying on investment business from St Peter Port on the Channel Island.

It holds shares on behalf of a special fund raised from wealthy investors in early 2003 for the express purpose of investing in Qinetiq. An executive said that every one of those investors had been vetted and approved by the MoD.

Separately, a further 0.9 per cent in Qinetiq is held by New Co-Invest Limited Partnership, whose address is St Sampson in Guernsey. It holds shares on behalf of Carlyle's partners.

Finally, Qinetiq Employee Share Plans, which owns 3.4 per cent, is based at Albert House, South Esplanade, St Peter Port.

Beneficiaries of the employee scheme will be liable for UK tax, if they are resident in the UK, when they derive income from their Qinetiq investment or enjoy capital gains.

It is standard procedure for private equity firms to structure their investments to minimise tax. However, the chancellor, Gordon Brown, has made it a priority to crack down on tax havens, so it is odd that the Government approved the use of an offshore centre in the Qinetiq deal.

Qinetiq's senior executives have not used offshore vehicles for holding their direct stakes in the company. Its chief executive, Sir John Chisholm, will emerge with a holding worth £24m, -having made an initial investment of £129,000.
