I was concerned about the Irish Mortgage market and will keep this on my watch list for now

Angry manc consolidation to 5p share means taking 5 existing 1p shares and replacing them with 1 new consolidated 5p share i.e a 5 for 1 exchange the old share price was 7.125 multipy by 5 equals 35.625p per new consolidated share.
Either the shares went down 1.625p per new share or the spread narrowed or a little of both.

This would remain a very high risk share, it's interest income stream is only half it's running costs which will increase as they set up the new business with investec probably some time before the new venture develops an income. Check the state of the Irish mortgage market, if it's about to dive like the UK you would have to punt on a pure gamble.

As always do your own research, no advice to buy or not to buy is implied just an opinion.

I have done the same. Will be looking at the business model and whether it can grow sufficiently. Can understand some rise today due to the 5p share price for the consolidated shares, but not the jump to 30p.

Home reversionary are a long term business needing capital growth from houses being effectively bought by the company. Dont know enough about future income stream yet

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT AND OPERATING REVIEW
-----------------------------------------

As outlined in my previous statement issued on 12th March 2007, I now have
pleasure in presenting you with the audited accounts for the six month period
ended 31st December 2006. This 'short year' is to facilitate our change of
financial year end from 30th June to 31st December from this date forward.

In the period, our Lifetime Mortgages generated gross interest income of Euro557k
on advances which totalled Euro26.2m at year end. These products have been very
well received among Mortgage Intermediaries and I am happy to report that we
have now reached our target number of 180 formally registered intermediaries all
of whom are authorised by the Financial Regulator to refer mortgage clients to
us on a commission basis. In order to further develop both our direct and
intermediary business, we have recently commissioned our first television
advertising campaign, which will be broadcast in May 2007.

Our Home Reversion portfolio now amounts to holding interests in a total of 102
properties. This follows the acquisition of reversionary interests in 45
residential units through the purchase of S.H.I.P. Property Trading (One)
Limited, a special purpose company, for Euro5.5m. The transaction was completed on
31st January 2007. Two reversionary interests were sold in the period generating
a profit of Euro53k.

Our operating cost base has increased to Euro1.0m for the period but remains
tightly controlled and reflects the increased number of staff to 10 in the
period.

Nua Homeloans, our joint venture with Investec Holdings (Ireland) Limited, is
now operational and working out of its new premises at Grand Canal Street Upper,
Dublin 4. We have recruited a highly rated and experienced management team
headed by Declan Fitzpatrick, who is very well known among mortgage
intermediaries. Nua Homeloans held a very successful 'launch' at the Shelbourne
Hotel on 4th April which was attended by over 250 mortgage intermediaries and
guests.

Despite some recent adverse press commentary on the equity release market, our
lifetime mortgage business remained strong in the first quarter of 2007.

Subsequent to the period end, we raised an additional Euro2.4m (£1.68m) to finance
the further development of the home reversion and sub-prime mortgage businesses
in Ireland.

The Group continues to evaluate other opportunities in niche retail financial
services in the Irish market.

Is anyone out there using the FireFox browser successfully with ADVFN ?

I have recently installed FireFox myself and it seemingly works perfectly with other sites apart from ADVFN.

Discuss anyone ?

Gang tied fireworks to dog's body
Thugs blew up a Yorkshire terrier by tying fireworks to its body and then took pictures of the aftermath on their mobile phones, the dog's owner said.

It's a shame really that Kevin Cash was involved as the Xstream Network was the first company in the world to introduce free 0800 internet access. Freeserve followed shortly afterwards and the rest is history.

My My Firecrest Group. I rember this old dog. Used to be a great AIM volatile trade. Had a few of these that became 'Super Phone' then 'Xtreme' and knocked them out for a profit (Mr Manning was CEO I thought.).

The money program highlighted Kevin Cash as the shadow Director of Firecrest ( XStream network)and the plastic mock up model. Any Xstream Ragingbull posters about?(was quoted in the US ,on over the counter bulletin board).

What's Kevin Cash up to?.

Aye, Xstream network, the reverse takeover LOL!

The Internet phone that was nothing more than a plastic model with no internal workings, and the Financial weekly publications put a buy on the stock.

Kevin Cash the shadow Director should be jailed.

Bunch of sharks.

However I did make money out of it by ramping it on SiliconInvestor when it became Xstream.

Thye are not striking for 16%. They have rejected 16%. They want 40%. They don't want to agree to doing overtime as it will cause problems with their part time mini cabbing, plumbing etc. jobs.
