Posted at 20/5/2008 16:16 by tiredoldbroker jotoha1, the connection is that post 388 on THIS thread is Chancre6 pumping another of her ramps, in the hope of misleading investors, and I'm making the point that she has a truly disastrous track record. Nothing to do with HLL, just an attempt to help people avoid getting rooked. |
Posted at 05/12/2007 16:45 by harrylyme giardap - are you saying [HLL] has a deal with Tesco?Can you say "which product" you've seen at half-price? DavidLloyd - surely the recent funding has resolved Cash issues, at least until the spring (08?)....? + I understasnd the new Brands are integrated and the factory is producing well. The share price snag was the Dilution and seasonal Sales whinge. That strikes me as being made-worse with yet more "similar" products - although it has given them many-more customers to talk to. I would have like to see some diversification and much better investor-communicati However the most important thing is cash - and I think that is now flowing the right way. I fear for anyone that bought at 10p since the Dilution really means you paid too much. |
Posted at 20/8/2007 23:26 by mrwoo Well, there's the money. Presumably, had it been in real doubt, the delay-announcements might have had to be accompanied by a suspension. Intriguingly, though, (and unlike previous fund-raisings), only a fraction of the £3+m has come from significant existing investors. Which kinda makes you wonder who has suddenly become so very keen on a big chunk of HLL - and why. Cheap (?) price, of course - but the company hasn't exactly been shy about its problems (and I suppose you just could read Mapstone's reference today to creating shareholder value by acquisition in a couple of ways....). Perhaps things will be a bit clearer when we get an RNS about one or more major new shareholders. |
Posted at 16/8/2007 12:32 by lionelh Not quite a dead duck yet, micki3. Something has clearly gone wrong but I wouldn't write it off quite yet. We all need these "salutary lessons", micki3, as they are part and parcel of what is required to make a wise investor. It is something you have to learn for yourself. Nobody can teach you it. I did learn a while back that investing in something because you "like the product" is not a very good reason of itself to invest in a company though not investing in a company whose product you dislike is still a sound principle to me. You might have uniquely diabolical taste in which case you might be the only consumer of the product there is! For what it's worth the biggest lesson I learnt is not to put a large capital sum in one share. Spread your risk by putting it in several shares. Even good well-run companies fail for unforeseeable reasons - if you put all your money in it without spreading the risk you are in effect taking a large gamble! Spreading risk by investing in at least five shares reduces risk markedly to an acceptable level. That lesson cost me a couple of k but I do not regret the experience as it made me a better investor. |
Posted at 29/7/2006 18:27 by pjetr HulloDoes any body have any idea why we have this 45% price rise? Is it about 'expected' profits of 1,5 million for FY2007 (I don't really see how that would be possible)? Is it just because the share is highly illiquid? What's going on... Thanks potential investor Pjetr |
Posted at 26/7/2006 08:27 by cerrito most peculiar announcement today saying that they are going to announce their results tomorrow...indicates pressure from investors and the fact that they do not appear to have things under control |
Posted at 15/3/2006 17:00 by nig295 Tipped as a buy in Growth Company Investor this Month. They have done very well for me over the last year which is why I am now a holder. |

Posted at 07/3/2006 11:11 by dotcunningham THIS IS MONEY'S WEEKLY SMALL CAPS View looks good at Hill Station James Crux, Analyst, Growth Company Investor 27 February 2006 OUR weekly review of the latest developments and hottest tips in the exciting world of the Alternative Investment Market is written by analysts at the UK's leading authority on fast-growing companies, Growth Company Investor. HAVING completed two acquisitions last year, ice cream maker Hill Station has been transformed from a niche player into the UK's third-largest manufacturer. Chairman Pieter Totte, a serial food entrepreneur who's had his advisory finger in the pies of Aim successes Glisten and Finsbury Food, says the reverse takeovers of Loseley and Granelli have given the group a presence across all segments of the ice-cream market. He adds that the addition of Loseley's new 80,000 sq ft plant in South Wales provides 'one of the best factories in the sector'. These operations have the capacity for at least £60m worth of annual production and he says total revenues of the new entity are 'about £18m'. So to use this capacity the company is producing retailers' own-label ice creams and has already seen a lot of interest. Retailers are looking for quality facilities and there's not an awful lot of capacity out there. 'Although our highest priority is to organically grow our own brands,' informs Totte, 'the real growth at present will come from own-label production.' All three of the group's brands will be boosted by the improved production facilities, of which 85% of production has been moved over, and the lower costs will be a great boon to the bottom line. Losses for its 15-month period to the end of October dripped to £792,000 on sales of £1.2m, but the figures did not include anything from the acquisitions. Presently priced at £15.8m, Hill Station is valued below sales. Recommendation: Buy. |
Posted at 18/1/2006 10:43 by spaceparallax I saw much to be pleased with in the announcement concerning rationalisation of the facilities, but little concerning production figures and sales. On the whole the information points towards a distant glimmer of hope, but little in terms of short to medium rewards. I would imagine that only the die hard investors remain at this stage, with perhaps a few being tempted to take a modest highly speculative punt. |
