Super bit of sleuthing Nicky Name

Thanks, its posts like that which make this bb worthwhile

opodio and bc4 I had a look at Lyons Davidson. They are no longer a partnership and sold into a company in 2011, so you can get their accounts from Companies House online for a quid.
Was sold at £35 million and made just over £2 million post-tax profits in first eleven month trading period. Will have to file accounts again at end of this month. Turnover was over £70 million. These figures are from memory as I looked last week. Lyons Davidson also owns a couple of physio-rehabilitation companies, and a lot of its business seems to be claims handling.
So £60m placing might fit with a takeover of a firm of this size?
A merger of Helphire and a law firm should help both parties margins post-LASPO?
Anybody else want to have a look at the accounts to see what they think?
Maybe the conversion to a company in 2011 was with an eye to being bought?

Holding 600,000 and will continue to buy...Fail to see downsides from this price

[cfro] 07/2/2014 13:54

Upped my stake this morning. Volume is building steadily on plenty of buying.

[bc4] 07/2/2014 12:19

Yeah I do a bit of trading as well but there are many times I sold and did not get back in and lived to regret it TCG springs to mind

bc4 Some people bought in at three quarters of a penny on 7 September 2012, then bailed out and came back time and time again. We are not sorry. We are still here alongside you waiting for the next opportunity. We just speculate to accumulate.

[ant15] 07/2/2014 11:01

bc4 added a second time today a further 120,000 though not showing on ADVFN screens.

[bc4] 07/2/2014 10:39

Well when these doubled from 1.5p to 3p people bailed and from 3p to 5p and they were all sorry, this company is in full recovery IMHO

[oldtown] 07/2/2014 10:30

Indeed BC4.

[ant15] 07/2/2014 10:27

Agree with you all Next bit of good news will see this move up quite quickly. In for the long term will not be selling for quick returns!

[bc4] 07/2/2014 09:56

Don't forget the tax losses carried forward!

[oldtown] 07/2/2014 09:46

All you can do is actually look at what the board has achieved over the last 12 months and then ask yourself are these the sort of people who are going to screw things up?
I don't think so, and with the recent placing funds available this business is very much turning back on the up.
This will lead to more business/turnover but this time with a much improved cost base and financial controls.
Also the zero debt position will enable the improved results go straight onto the bottom line and then hopefully be reflected via divi's and a improved share price.

[bc4] 07/2/2014 09:00

Yes paid out .445p since July 2013 and they have promised more in FEBS results

[opodio] 07/2/2014 08:54

I'm getting more optimistic about these

[ltinvestor] 07/2/2014 08:36

Will probably leave 6p well behind on news so just a matter of being very patient.I have received a dividend yield of around 15% over the last year so this really is an investment for the shareholders and not just the directors.Good long term institutional support and most pi's investing for longer than 1 hour resulting in a more stable share price with a steady upward trend.dyor LT

[opodio] 07/2/2014 08:20

up up up for this one imho

[ant15] 07/2/2014 08:18

opodio picked up another 100,000 this AM SHOWING AS A SELL BUT WAS A BUY.

[nicky name] 06/2/2014 21:04

bc4 good question! It is probably a partnership. Not sure how you find out. Maybe worth a bit of Googling?

[opodio] 06/2/2014 16:19

wants to go up

Rain will be causing more accidents and more work for HHR

[bc4] 06/2/2014 16:15

[ant15] 06/2/2014 15:20

ITinvestor bought in again this am and share your sentiment.

[bc4] 06/2/2014 13:47
