I don't blame you Dav, I'm tempted to to the same myself

Yeah magazine pump - I just sold into the spike

I don't know of anyone who can move a stock price in the way Simon Thompson can. He does need to watch what he's doing though as some may become slightly suspicious of pre-rec stock activity though to be fair to the fella, he does appear to be a top notch, honest guy...

as long as he's transparent then it's all fair

Surprisingly it has been pretty easy to buy a bunch of these today close to the bid side, I have no idea why but It seems to me like a gift !

Actually I was a bit off on my calculation, the other parties paid 33m Euro for 76.6% of the company, giving the fpo share a value of 10.08m euro so a 9m euro value creation or around 8p on the adjusted nav

Managed to get a few in on the open at 48 but could only get a quote in 10k , only a matter of time before Simon thompson realizes what a great deal this is, Ben does great deals year after year and this still trades at a massive discount....

[catsick] 13/6/2018 07:35

What a great deal, I saw the little nugget about this new park in the accounts, seems like they have made a pretty instant 7 mio eur of profit on this deal at a minimum by owning 24percent of equity others injected 33m of cash into, plus I guess 80m euro of new aum with fees to come, everyone seems to complain about what Ben pays himself, but these are fantastic deals he is doing making very real value for shareholders, this deal alone will add 6p min to NAV

On the conference call I asked if we had booked any fee or profit from the UK office mandate fprop fund as this is a profit share and not a fee based mandate, and I was told we had no profits from this as the stamp duty paid on the properties mops up any profit in the early stages.
So we will get profits in for this but they will be delayed compared with a fee based fund.
I am happy to add more here on weekness as the results we good and the profits will roll in later for the increase in Aum.

Ben talking about fpo and brexit on cnbchttps://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/06/08/first-property-ceo-government-has-handled-brexit-talks-really-badly.html

I think the results are bang in line with expectations and the group continues to do great deals with their own cash funds, the nugget of info for me was they bought for 900k gbp companies in default with 47m in loans against an office park with 50,000 sqm of space, this is a tiny cash amount to pay for a huge amount of upside for non recourse highly leveraged assets. I think the company is worth easily 53p for the reit part and another 20p for the asset management business, I hope the company continues to buy back shares at these levels.

Flat as a witches tit.

The market has spoken.
Results not as good as expected.
NAV good
Profit and dividend stagnating.

[blobby] 08/6/2018 10:07

NAV per share up by 11%.

I can live with that.

[fanshaw] 08/6/2018 09:26

Cheshire Man

Expenses up 11.5%

Dividend up 2.6%

Says it all.

[blobby] 08/6/2018 08:37

· Group profit before tax of £9.23 million (2017: £9.14 million);

· Total assets under management up 31% to £626 million (2017: £477 million);

· Third party assets under management up 45% to £454 million (2017: £313 million);

· Adjusted NAV per share increased by 11% to 53.07 pence (2017: 47.64 pence);

· Final dividend increased by 2.6% to 1.18 pence per share (2017: 1.15 pence per share).

Good results again, although at the lower end of my expectations. Dividend increase is 0 in real terms.

[cheshire man] 08/6/2018 07:28

Well you've got your wish about the divi. in this morning's PR fanshaw :-)

Final dividend increased by 2.6% to 1.18 pence per share (2017: 1.15 pence per share).

[fanshaw] 07/6/2018 14:42

Perhaps if Ben Habib & Directors plus Staff where more realistic in the amount

they pay themselves in relation to size of company the dividend could be improved

plus a possible increase in share price for rest of shareholders.

[mortimer7] 05/6/2018 08:45

Results for the year to 31 March are scheduled to be announced on 8 June 2018.

catsick,

I'm not sure about treading water but I'm enjoying the rise. Property shares seem OK at the moment (e.g. BLND). FPO may continue to be a bargain it terms of NAV and earnings but it continues to make steady progress which is ideal in my view.

[catsick] 08/5/2018 12:53

Yes nice run up today on decent volume, finally breaking out after a years treading water ....

[bigboyblue] 05/5/2018 08:11

A favourable write up in today's Telegraph (Money section) in James Bartholomew's 'Diary of a private investor' column. He has recently increased his stake citing the company's 'persistent record of achievement'.
