19/3/2013 13:21 | More uncertainty will remain while some further disposals are anticipated. |  masurenguy | |
19/3/2013 11:51 | Have to say today's news has put the icing on the cake for me. I got out a while ago and was flirting with playing the dips/peaks but it's just far, far too volatile.
GLA holding obviously and given how quickly this can move, I'm sure there's some good gains to be made. |  funkmasterp12 | |
19/3/2013 10:37 | there is a big battle on at the mo, a big buyer and a big seller at 7.7,
once the seller has finished, then we could easily move upto 8p +

19/3/2013 09:34 | quite happy. sale resolved, will enable the management to focus on the other areas. debt down.
happy to hold for longer now.
all imo dyor |  alanrex | |
19/3/2013 09:26 | Dumped all of mine, happy with a bit more than double from early last year, not showing on the trades yet.
This morning's announcement greatly reduced the long term prospects. |  this_is_me | |
19/3/2013 08:55 | Good move - was always on the cards. Oriel, Buy 10p target |  aishah | |
19/3/2013 08:16 | They would have been better selling anything else rather than the best bit at such a low price, even shutting Kleenez would have been a better option.
The management have done well so far in turning around the company but selling off the bit that grew 16% last year and has the best medium term prospects is just daft.
At least I have doubled my money in just over a year on this one, having watched it fall for some time before buying.
Masurenguy is a well known plonker whose comments I always ignore. |  this_is_me | |
19/3/2013 07:55 | They probably didn't have a choice. I expect the banks told them to raise cash. They still have a mountain of debt compared to the Cap. |  dcomd99 | |
19/3/2013 07:46 | Masurenguy - 7 Jun'11 - 1741: Ultimately they are going to have to make disposals to raise cash and reduce debt and to streamline the group by focusing on a maximum of 3 divisions. I would suspect that Express Gifts & Kitbag will constitute the core of their future operation with the 2 or even 3 other divisions spruced up for subsequent disposal.
bobsidian - 7 Jun'11 - 1742: Not so. The use of credit is a necessary requirement to allow a business like FDL to function. Though £253m of that debt is referenced in the Balance Sheet as bank loans and is classified as a "non-current liability", its businesses will be using revolving credit that need not be requiring of repayment within its term of availability.
Masurenguy - 7 Jun'11 - 1743: They will have to make some future disposals to get their gearing down and to repay bank debt.
bobsidian - 7 Jun'11- 1746: FDL have already disposed of non-core businesses. Why would they need to reduce debt further ? Why would they need to strengthen their balance sheet further ? Why would they need to further restructure their balance sheet more than they already have ?
Masurenguy - 7 Jun'11 - 1747: We shall see !
Masurenguy - 13 Nov'12 - 2026: I would expect to see them divest the educational division and possibly healthcare products.......Express Gifts is the core of this business and Kitbag (also acquired from EHR administrators) is a good logistical and demographic fit so I would expect these two operations to represent the nucleus of a resurgent Findel in the future. In the meantime they must first make a further significant reduction in the debt, having diluted retail shareholders to virtually zero with a massive placing and debt restructuring last year. The way forward in this context is via disposals and a focus upon the home shopping via catalogue and internet mail order sales.
There you go and todays announcement is unlikely to be the end of the process either ! |  masurenguy | |
19/3/2013 07:19 | Seriously stupid deal; selling the part of the business with the best prospects at such a low rating. |  this_is_me | |
18/3/2013 08:26 | IMHO Dilly, they have some upside from here, going to medium and longer term, it would depend on how well the management team execute the recovery stratergy.
I think fair value ought to be around 14p at the mo, going forward on a like for like with 2007, i guess upward of 20p,

15/3/2013 20:07 | i thought there was thanks for that rescuer..Would you say these are a good investment as i have been looking at these for a while hoping they would fall further?
