15:13		bogdan branislov: Can't be specific, I think that awareness of CSP and the attractions of its partnership business model has been steadily growing over the past year, the fact that Woodford offloaded easily without a price dive suggested a lot of underlying support and interest in CSP. Last but not least, many if not most private investors have been hanging back in cash until after the election, they are now buying in, CSP is at the top of a lot of private investors' buy lists, this should go on for weeks, not quite like today obviously, but more steady gains to come I suspect. Whilst the right thing to do was to stay invested during the election, the next best things is to build a position now asap. But investors don't tend to think like that, they don't like to buy straight after a 5% or 10% gain, so they wait for a dip, they feel better buying into a dip even if the wait for the dip takes a while and they end up paying more by waiting. Consequently, every short dip in CSP's share price will likely be followed by aggressive buying, probably well into the new year. If you had the foresight to spot CSP's value before now and the patience and fortitude to sit tight during the politcal and market uncertainty, then you have earned your gains, they are fully deserved, don't sell yourself short by selling too quickly. I have this suspicion that CSP will become a popular highly priced stock in time, at this point I will exit of course. I will no doubt top slice a little when we reach a fair price, perhaps 70% up from where we are now - i.e. about 70% up from the current price of c465p, but I will allow a portion of my holding to run on onto more expensive territory - probably well over 1,000p, before exiting fully.

09:55		bogdan branislov: More than happy with these results. Still using their fictional way of calculating ROCE where they remove the intangibles out of the equation. But how can you remove intangibles form the ROCE calculation when the acquisition, to which the intangible assets relate, was paid for with real capital. CSP say that their approach is valid and the ROCE methodology is not statutory, which is actually correct. So we agree to differ - the real number is mid to high 20s%, which is a great number in itself, so why torture the data! Other than that all good. Margins a little better than I expected, order book and growth in land bank/build contracts solid. The key number, which analysts and results highlights ignore these days was the key metric according to Ben Graham - what does he know! - is the growth in shareholder funds. Often companies showing earnings growth show little or no growth in balance sheet equity, i.e. shareholder funds, so nothing extra ultimately left over for shareholders after the dividend. CSP shows growth in shareholder funds of between 13% and 14%, great to see. Currently my largest holding, just slightly larger than my MGNS holding, CSP will remain my largest holding, I see the share price moving up substantially over the next 2 to 3 years - I would be disappointed and a little surprised if the share price did not double bag over the next 3 years - as with all high quality but very under priced stocks, you get huge upside potential alongside considerable margin of safety, that is how you make money from stocks.

14:01		blueclyde: Barratt Developments put out a decent set of numbers today which confirms the U.K. housing market is fine. Slight pull back but is up 30 percent year to date.We know Countryside are fully reserved for the full year. This share price is going to make a big move soon perhaps when the full year results are spelt out to the market.

09:46		bogdan branislov: I think that the statement is okay actually. Bear in mind that the first half of the year was well ahead of the previous year and the construction schedule suggests that the final quarter should be well ahead also. Woodford is likely to have to unload, but it may well be another block transfer to another fund(s). The profit growth for this year is forecast to be decent, but there is a lot going on with the business and the full extent of CSP's profit growth and the underlying balance sheet equity growth won't be fully clear until the year end results. Seeing the year end results linked to a clearer outcome timetable for Brexit and the resolution of the Woodford holdings would clear the way for CSP to re-rate significantly. All should become clear over the next few months. In the meantime, CSP is selling very cheaply relative to its growth projection, giving investors a considerable margin of safety. The recovery in the share price, will happen at some point and is likely to rapid when it does. Those waiting on the sidelines are likely to lose out. Remember that share prices climb the 'wall of worry'. By the time all factors becomes fully clear, the share price could easily be twice the current level and not at such a great entry point. Bogdan

06:47		blueclyde: Hi Bogdan. Thanks for confirming what I was thinking! The acquisition so further fuel huge growth it just remains to be seen how much of the 40% growth in properties falls into percentage profit increase. Even if it is 20% then I believe the share price currently on a PE of 10 should quickly move by as much to maintain that PE. I also see the dividend of 10p last year covered by 30p of earnings. I don't see them needing all that cash as they ramp up out put they coulda easily make the dividend 20p what would also support a share price north of 400p too.

22:53		bogdan branislov: Politically uncertainty and the fact that house builders in general are strongly suspected of not making sufficient cost provisions for higher cost replacement land against current sales - boosting short term profit levels, but taking a big margin risk later in the cycle as the higher cost of the replacement land will have to be borne in full down the track. Cyclical ineptitude is almost an accepted tradition for conventional house builders. What has this to do with CSP given their predominantly partnership based model? Not much, but the market still lumps CSP in with other house builders and is only starting to wake up to CSP, as the almost complete lack of previous activity on this BB demonstrates. In terms of price target. I use a Neff total return for this type of company - (average annual growth rate forecast for the nest 2 years + current yield), divided by the cash or debt adjusted trailing year PE ratio. A kind of inverted PEG but factoring the divi into the total return. CSP, based on the official forecasts, has a Neff ratio of about 1.5. A Neff ratio of 0.5 is usually considered fair value, neither attractive nor over priced. O.7 or higher is getting interesting, above 1, which is a demanding threshold, suggests a real bargain. 1.5, when the business model is sound is compelling. But of course the 1.5 for CSP is nonsense. The broker forecasts are hugely conservative for CSP, the real Neff ratio for CSP is probably well above 2. The price could go up 150% now and while CSP may, at 150% above current price, at first glance look costly relative to conventional house builders, when you actually drill down into the numbers and CSP's growth profile, CSP would still not be expensive at 150% higher than the current price. CSP should five bag over the next 4 years or so. Given the pipeline, the growth must continue as the local authority partners will want their houses built, it is not like sitting on a land bank. Best for shareholders if the share price steadily begins to catch up to its fair valuation, the fair value obviously increasing year on year with the growth, without ever over shooting it as the expansion continues. Say, 70% share price growth this year and next, compounding, followed by say, 50% per annum compounding for each of the 2 years after that, that would get us there nicely. Cloud Cuckoo you may think! Well, with 10 years of SIPP investing this coming May, my gains have tipped over the 1,000% mark now. If there are relatively low risk growth bargains out there, I do tend to find them. CSP is as compelling as they come. Bogdan

12:40		walbrock82: Having looked at the results, here are my thoughts This homebuilder completed 28% more homes than last year taking it to 3,389 homes. But, the average selling price ("ASP") reduced by 8% to £430,000, which was in-line with market expectations. The problem is their housebuilding division with average ASP reduced by 23% to £515,000, whereas the Partnerships division saw 12% increase to £343,000. Countryside contributes ASP rise in their Partnership down to “outer London and regional cities.” But the reason for price decline in their housebuilding division is down to reduce their exposure from the high-end product! It should say that London home price is falling. Land plots continue to grow to 38,811 plots, which is equivalent to 11.45 years’ supply at current volume. No profit forecast Apart, from stating the obvious (Help to Buy scheme), there is no mentioned with a profit forecast. It will be interesting to know how the reduction in homebuilding selling price affects pre-tax profits. Historical and forecast Last year sales came to £671m, up from £277m in 2013. Meanwhile, operating profits were £87m, up from £17m. Stock, as % of sales is almost equivalent to annual turnover. PE ratio is at 25 times with EV/EBIT at 15 times. Although, PE is forecast to fall to 13 times. Also, the dividend yield is low at 1.5%. Comparison For the sake of comparison, Berkeley Holdings has PE of 8.5 times and EV/EBIT at 5.9 times. Final thoughts Their housebuilding division contributes 53% of turnover and 48% of pre-tax profits. With the division seeing a 23% fall in average selling price, this could push it into a net loss and will affect overall profitability. I feel without profits forecast, this is a delay reaction. As soon as they report their annual results (somewhere in November), we could see a major share price correction! Add in the fact that it is twice as expensive than the sector average, then the shares a sell, based on the lack of financial detail. Feel free to comment below.

09:12		wonder boy: What does the company do? Crown Sports plc owns and operates 22 mid-sized health and fitness clubs across the UK trading under the Dragons name, it also oversees a further 27 health and fitness clubs based in Europe and the Middle East on a contract management basis. The company is now focused entirely on these core businesses following the disposal of the golf, sports publishing and sports betting businesses during 2003. How much is the company valued at? With 291 million shares in issue and a current share price of 6.375p, CSP is valued at £18.55 million. What is the Net Asset Value (NAV)? Net assets at 31 December 2002 were £51.12 million. Since this date the company has disposed of Crown Golf, the Winning Line and Crown Content decreasing NAV by £17.2 million. Current NAV is therefore £33.92 million (or 11.66p per share). Approximately 93% of assets are good quality tangible assets including 11 health and fitness club freeholds and 7 long leaseholds (i.e. greater than 50 years). These clubs are typically based in the Home Counties around London and with property prices booming in the last few years they could be worth considerably more than their book value (I intend to do more research here). Are revenues growing? Turnover at the core business was £28.1 million in 2002 (2001: £21.6 million), an increase of 30% on the year. I expect further revenue growth this year as the company benefits from having fully integrated the 7 health and fitness clubs acquired in 2001 and completed major refurbishment works on 5 further clubs. What about costs? Management implemented a major cost reduction programme mid-2002 the results of which will only be fully reflected in the 2003 accounts. Costs reduction measures include elimination of layers of management, reducing central overheads and improving buying terms. Exceptional costs of £8.4million in 2002 relate almost entirely to bid defence costs, acquisition/disposal costs and impairment of fixed assets relating to the disposed businesses only i.e. they truly are exceptional costs and will not be repeated in 2003. Will improved revenue and costs translate to profits and cash flow? The group made an operating profit before exceptional items of £4.3 million in 2002, after exceptionals (which I stress again relate almost entirely to the businesses disposed of in 2003 and are not repeatable) the company made a £6.2 million loss. Stripping out the revenues and costs of the disposed businesses, subtracting the exceptional items and assuming constant costs and revenues in the core businesses (remember costs should be substantially lower in 2003), operating profit for 2003 will be about £6 million. This puts CSP on a prospective P/E of just 3! Negative cash flow of £2.3 million in 2002 should be reversed this year because of substantially reduced debt financing requirements and a reduced need for refurbishment and integration works. What are the prospects for growth? CSP has a reputation for growth via acquisition. The reduction in debt (see below) means that CSP is again in a position to grow its business. I believe the health and fitness industry has solid long-term growth prospects and CSP has the management to exploit this (they previously turned Sportsmedia from a £20 million operation into a FTSE 350 company). In addition CSP is in talks with several companies about managing their gyms on a contract basis, an area in which CSP is considered the industry leader. Any potential issues with the company / industry? Not really. The disposal programme is now complete and has allowed the company to reduce debt from £60.2 million at 31 December 2001 to approximately £15 million now. The company has banking facilities totalling £53 million including a £40 million loan repayable over 7 years – this company is not going into liquidation in the foreseeable future. The health and fitness market is maturing in the UK but CSP is expanding into Europe and the Middle East via contract management. Margins may have come under pressure but management have acted quickly to reduce costs. One potential issue is that approximately 84% of shares are held by just 6 shareholders. However, these investors appear to be in for the long haul, and if that proves to be correct the share price should benefit from the limited free float through gearing (i.e. small increase in demand for shares will result in large price increase because of restricted supply). Conclusion: The company has been undervalued in recent years because of worries about high debt levels and a somewhat confusing 'sports conglomerate' strategy. The completion of the disposal programme has resolved these issues and the company is ripe for a re-rating. CSP is a much leaner and more focused company. It has a solid asset base and good growth prospects. Do your own research and be happy with your findings.
