Morphic got a brief mention in this review:

Metabolic Endoscopy: Should Gastroenterologists Be Treating
Type 2 Diabetes?

CRS have most of their eggs in that basket.

Does the CRS NAV include expected payments from PRAX?

Does this fund pay a dividend?

So to be clear.
CRS have £5,000,000 to (possibly) deploy in the next 30 or so trading days.

So far today we have had 40,000 shares traded. approx £26,000
13 trades.. of which 4 were me buying.

It'll be interesting to see what happens to the share price once the £5m gets rolling.

Good luck holders :)

If only ALM had managed to monetise investments and return funds to shareholder as CRS have...unfortunately it seems to go from bad to worse there...luckily now a very small investment to CRS.

From RNS 15/2/22 Posting Of Circular:

On 22 December 2021, the Fund provided an update following the results of its 2021 AGM where the resolution that the Company continue as constituted received a majority of votes, but did not achieve the required 75 per cent. majority of votes cast and accordingly was not passed.

As a result of the continuation vote not being passed, the Board believes that it is in the interests of Shareholders as a whole for the Fund to adopt a strategy of maximising capital returned to Shareholders by way of timely disposals, including trade sales of the Fund's strategic holdings, where appropriate. Such change of strategy is subject to Shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Fund has accumulated several strategic holdings: since 2013, the Fund has been a shareholder in Hurricane Energy plc (it currently has a 28.9 per cent. holding); since 2016, it has been a shareholder in Equals Group plc (it currently has a 13 per cent. holding); since 2017, it has been a shareholder in Allied Minds plc (it currently has an 18.2 per cent. holding); since 2018, it has been a shareholder in De La Rue plc (it currently has a 10 per cent. holding) and it has been a shareholder in Sutton Harbour plc for more than a decade (it currently has a 10.8 per cent. holding). Given the substantial progress achieved by the Fund with its activist strategy to date on these holdings, the Fund expects to have realised these investments by 31 December 2023. Within this timescale, the Fund also anticipates selling its holding in Board Intelligence plc, an unquoted company in which it has been a shareholder since 2018.

For the record the Fund now asserts that it only holds four named holdings:
-590 million residual Prax DCUs, currently traded in a Matched Bargain Facility which values them at about £11 million if they could find a buyer, but should be worth £35 million if Prax pay out the maximum;
-Listed DeLaRue shares that CA think should be worth £1.02/share in a takeover (60% more than trading Market Value, about £20 million);
-General Dynamics Debt Instrument, which last year they proposed to distribute in kind to Fund shareholders using the CRS listing, after divesting other holdings; and
-Allied Minds unlisted shares (value unknown).

There is also a cash balance, perhaps from the part of the Hurricane dividend that was not paid out in the 25 pence dividend.

Which of these four investments do you think could be realised in a fire sale?

The EGM when shareholders passed the Resolution to implement that was held on March 7 2022 less than 19 months ago. Less than two years on the only holdings not divested are ALM, DLAR and General Dynamics.

It is baffling what you think the Fund could do to get full value for those holdings that they are not doing?

End-August NAV 95.8 compares to End-July of 92.6. That will not include recent cash payment of £1.82 million on the Prax DCUs, which was paid at the end of September (worth another 2.18 per CRS share).

Isn't selling Hurricane and EQLS, and delisting ALM (which would have had no value if it had remained listed) running down?

They stuck to the announced plan and told us they would update on the wind up in the second half of 2023. I'm waiting to see what else they will do, in the half-year results which should be presented this month.

I calculate risking £3 million more on De La Rue will have gained them £11 million in extra NAV. I also expect the news on the De La Rue pension plan will be good, so CRS estimated NAV should go up. (I have no quarrel with eking out the De La Rue position because selling out when the share price fell to 30 pence would have been stupid.)

(Sorry I misunderstood your post.)

NAV at 30/6/23: 93.3 pence per share after the 25 pence distribution in June. (On Crystal Amber website.)

Should get (first) £1.59 million half-yearly distribution from Prax DCUs at the end of September (about 1.9 pence per CRS share) as long as Hurricane division of Prax generates tax-relieved profits.

On CRS, good to see Crystal Amber Ex-Div Date next Thursday, Record Date Friday. Not messing about. If Prax delivers its Hurricane Div as promised the CRS dividend gets paid 7 July.
