Satnav product looks a potential winner for 2011 though and patented.

Results out and a rather disappointing H2 is clobbering the price. Still a 4p dividend for the year is pretty good. Looks like they have taken a hit in H2, possibly exchange related.

Just notice these products may be of interest to any holders.Write Casdon in search description.

[gears] 13/7/2010 11:18

Any date for results yet?

[gears] 05/7/2010 20:25

If anyone gets the chance to see or look at the SATNAV would be interesting to have a view.

They are nearly 300 miles from me so very difficult to attend. Has anyone been to one ? I am sure there will be a few family members there.

[gears] 05/7/2010 17:14

Maybe the AGM would be the place to meet shareholders?Are any holders going?

[davidosh] 05/7/2010 16:50

Do any of you know Sam Bailey the nearly 5% holder?

[gears] 05/7/2010 16:30

I would think this month for results.Noticed some new products on Woolworths website.Interesting how Empire Additions Littlewoods Woolworths etc sell the same Casdon toys maybe from 1 centre.If one is sold out they are in each shop.Good to see Tesco Direct& Sainsburys selling the Henry, Dyson etc.Noticed on Mailorder express the Satnav but not in stock yet.On Amazon the toys are well listed.A lot of work's been done by Paul Cassidy & His sons, family & workforce to make this Casdon name continue.

Normally at the end of July - 31st July for the last two years. Lots of potential here I think, as they seem to have tweaked their sales model over the last couple of years at the same time as cutting their cost base.

[davidosh] 05/7/2010 12:41

Gears....Only you and me here this year ? LOL

When are the next results expected as they have been in July most years ?

[gears] 05/7/2010 12:18

Lets hope the Casdon International sales are still buzzing.This small company is set for growth.

[gears] 14/2/2010 22:32

Looks like woolies going have helped UK sales

2p divi with final to come which is usually more should keep these over 60p.

[davidosh] 01/2/2010 18:54

The markets are a little weak at present so some may see this as an opportunity to sell at a profit and maybe re enter lower when the markets look better. I am a long termer but so many trade shorter term these days it seems.

[gears] 01/2/2010 18:38

Any news on the satnav? Yes topvest those results are good and things could get even better so I would hold or add.

[topvest] 31/1/2010 18:41

If November and December were strong, then this year's results should be very impressive. Casdon have done well in securing their niche position in the market place. 4-5p total dividend this year, looks the minimum. Happy to hold at this price given the strong market position, the dividend and the high asset values. Other operating income continues to rise as well which largely relates to their property income.

New web-site as well.

Good to see the price holding at new levels.We can only speculate on the final divi but it was a bullish statement.

[gears] 25/1/2010 16:44

Have a look at the SATNAV anybody who goes and let us know what it's like.
Thanks

[davidosh] 25/1/2010 15:52

Kneecaps....So it was you to blame....I could not get any at all last week. How long have you had a holding out of interest ? I would be happy to make contact if you would like to give me your email or I can be mailed through TMF.

Clocktower....thanks for that. I should be seeing them at the Toyfair in Olympia this week.

[clocktower] 25/1/2010 15:45

Well done all - I will take a look at them at the NEC in Feb and get back to you with any info I can gather for you.

[kneecaps2] 25/1/2010 15:19

Yes davidosh I own 126062 shares, 1% of the company is 55200 shares. I also try and buy on weakness that is why I tried to buy some more last week !

[davidosh] 25/1/2010 14:49

Well the market cap was only about £2.5m this morning so what do you expect...25k of stock was 1% of the company and with the family having the majority of the stock there is very little free float. Just be happy if you already own some and buy on any weakness which is what I try to do. Not that there is ever very much about even then.

[gears] 25/1/2010 14:29

Agreed MM seems to have such a small amount of stock on the books it needs sorting.Noticed a few trades going on Plus Markets not sure if it's the same MM.

[kneecaps2] 25/1/2010 13:45

pity there is no market in these shares.marketmaker has no balls!
