I would say the chances of a buyback are about zero. How you can make 28k profit on 11 million turnover would be bad enough on a good day, but given that INCLUDES the 800 k profit from selling the family silver then I just can’t see how they will even keep going. It’s just a matter of time in my opinion. They effectively dropped 800 k last year. How they expect this year to be different is beyond me. But of course there always the usual glowing reports from the directors that it’s all honey and clover next year. It seems to be an annual thing.

when i contacted the HQ early March i was told that something would be issues sometime in April It took me 2 emails and 4 phone calls to get this info nobody apart from the people taking the call seemed to care certainly not the F/D

Judging from the latest accounts you’ll be missing plenty. So after booking 800k in profit from the sale of the building, they managed to make a whole net profit of 30k. And a restated loss of 190k from last year. As usual the director’s statement says things are looking just marvellous. I’d say it’s time to ask the directors when and how they imagine the proposed buy back will take place.

Graham
thanks for taking time to reply much appreciated

Macleod, the company has undertaken to launch a tender offer in the autumn. They cannot do this until they have a new set of audited accounts, which will be Sept/Oct. They then have to apply to the Courts to adjust their share capital.

Shareholders should all be contacted in Oct/Nov with details of the Tender Offer, the price, and how to apply.

[nico115] 29/6/2023 14:59

[nico115] 28/6/2023 17:31

To a stupid post !!

[nico115] 28/6/2023 15:42

Weird ?Traded at 0.65p maybe you're weird ?!! Lol

[my retirement fund] 28/6/2023 15:30

Well I have had a limit order in with AJ Bell since Monday for 1p but can see nothing has been filled, so I can't imagine how you are buying anything here ? Very weird.

[nico115] 28/6/2023 12:53

That's me finished buying Now I pray for a yearly dividend of 0.1p ?

[kash_] 21/6/2023 11:50

Not as much as you but I took advantage today under 1p

[nico115] 10/6/2023 12:25

I added substantially at 1.05 Bought into 2 delisted companies IBpo and JlhHope I don't need liquidity any time soon : (

[davidosh] 08/6/2023 12:21

There is still a vote to take place with 75% needed for the delisting...I think it is the sensible option as the company is too small to cover the onerous cost of being listed

[davidosh] 08/6/2023 11:40

The market makers are really making out like bandits.

If anyone wants to sell and cannot wait then my broker has an order in at 1.10 so just message on here and I will arrange for your sale to be completed at that price.

[kash_] 08/6/2023 11:35

Exactly. I'd buy their shares at that price given the chance!
