prob get it from the administrators, the prob is that Woolies best ever sale came at the peak trading moment for Clinton. Bet clinton like for like is well down.

Did the rents get paid?

[clocktower] 29/12/2008 12:00

If the shutters come down will the Lewin family make an offer for the bits they want?

[25cent] 29/12/2008 10:09

The balance sheet dont look right to me,i personally dont think that they have net assets, in the real world the equity value is worthless.

[gelp] 29/12/2008 08:29

woollies demise means less competition going fwd surely.

[25cent] 29/12/2008 00:12

I stick to my January Profit warning and short term 2p share price target.
Woolworths card sale must have been the final nail in the coffin or should i say final nail in this bin bag case.

went into clintons on fenchurch street yesterday and it was more like panic buying, the shop was packed and the que at the till was 50 peeps long. doesn't appear to be any christmas card sales discounts on and i reckon folks still want something special in a card. am looking forward to a half decent sales update as the share price has priced in doom.

[s34icknote] 18/12/2008 19:57

10 p would be good.

[s34icknote] 18/12/2008 19:57

10 p would be good.

westcoastrich i notice you are doing the rounds on the retailers saying they are going bust - you sad man.


Clinton cards is not doing as abdly as the share price suggests 5p rediculous just over 1.8m shares tarded - wow £90K worth and share price down 20%. Day light robbery going on, small shareholders being shafted and the likes of westcoach speading rumours.

could easily double or even treble in next to no time. Lewin and family own decent size stake, not sure why they dont take it private at 20p per share?

[westcoastrich] 18/12/2008 09:54

this must be on the list to go bust this xmas

[ydderf] 10/12/2008 15:07

but did earlier resolutions also include the resolution about the 32 per cent Lewin holding being breached without a bid?

good point about 10p....though

[ydderf] 10/12/2008 13:58

"The Company seeks approval from shareholders at each Annual General Meeting to make market purchases of its own shares. It is unable to exercise this right because the Lewin family hold 32% of the total equity. Any such market purchase would therefore increase their holding and, because their holding is more than 30%, require them to make an offer for the remaining equity. To avoid this and to make market purchases of shares possible, the Company will seek approval from shareholders (excluding the Lewin family) at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting to allow such purchases without triggering a bid situation. "
