Hello All
Bought a few shares a few weeks ago.
Looked at the chart, bought under 90p and am sitting on a small profit.
The reason I bought is that this seems to be a recession proof company with strong golbal demand including China (the place to be), high margin products, growth potential, and a possible takeover target...and £3m cash in the bank.
I will top up my investment if share price goes through the 100p.
Definitely long term investment.

Yes, hang on to the view that this is becoming an income share. I don't understand these big swings in share price, but, as with the rest of the market, post the coming Greek default and into next Spring it will all look a lot more positive.

I think the only link to Cefas is on the Aquaculture side of the business.Cefas effectively own the intellectual property for Aquatice which as yet has not been commercialised.Last time I looked Cefas were shareholders in KIO.The agricultural R&D is carried out by Kiotechs own nutritionists/scientists.If Aquatice is adopted by fish farmers and fishing fleets worldwide the share price will be multiples of where it stands today,however, I feel sure Bayer (or similar) will take KIO over before that happens.

Edit...Seems as though the IFG tip might be having some effect,thanks for sharing.

I really think that an occasional bit of news from the Company, via either RNS or their moribund website, would do something to guard against this kind of share price plummet. The next thing we will read here is the thought that bad news has leaked out to the big boys leaving the PIs hung out to dry. My personal view is that this is a small company in an important segment, virtually debt free, profitable and with a good year about to be reported. However, share prices are dictated by what the future is thought to hold, not by past achievements. Can we foresee a serious downturn for KIO? I can't.

Relatively speaking, the share price is lower than it was 3 years ago - outrageous for a company that has made so much progress!

While I agree completely with the gripe about the lack of communication with shareholders,I think we are in danger of blaming the company for short term changes in share pricing. The company has said or done nothing that can account for the sudden and bizarre drop in the share price over the last few days. So I rather think this may be an example of share price manipulation rather than a movement driven by the market. My conspiracy theory is that this could be an attempt to spook the PIs into selling at a low price before the preliminary results are published which I believe will indicate that the share price should be in exess of 100p.

Speckky – re your 656

"If you have time (post KIO results) could you give an opinion here on whether you can see KIO's turnover/pbt at least matching that of EAH.Obviously I'm hoping both metrics will be on the up."

I take it that you are referring to the P/E figure.

I find it difficult to make any really convincing comments because it seems to me that this ratio is driven more by sentiment than by hard figures of company performance.

EAH turnover to March 2010 £21.77M, pre-tax profit £2.00M (9.21%)
KIO turnover to June 2010 10.96, pre-tax profit £0.74M (excluding one-off sale of Ultrabite)

The KIO turnover for the first half of this year is almost exactly half EAH's for the whole of last year so the two companies appear to be comparable now on that basis. Profitability is lagging but this can be attributed to Optivite performance rather than KIO as a whole. So sorting out Optivite remains a key task for the management.

However, whereas the P/E ratio for KIO is presently between 9 and 10, the P/E figure for EAH is over 70. This suggests to me that optimism for the future has driven the share price 7 times greater in relation to earnings for EAH than for KIO – hence my comment about sentiment. One should note that the latest dividend for EAH was 1.24% and was covered by earnings to the tune of only 1.12 (i.e. very little retained within the business). By contrast the last dividend for KIO was a little higher at 1.33% but was covered about 4.2 times excluding the Ultrabite contribution (included, it brings the figure to 8.2 times). I am sure the share price would move up if the percentage dividend were to be increased. That at least would gear the share price to company performance rather than to sentiment.

At some point, the potential for KIO will be recognised as it already has been for EAH but until then, this remains a good investment opportunity. I am not sure that EAH still is but am not a shareholder so any comment beyond that would be inappropriate.

I comment on some of the messages above: - It is the shareholders and their sentiment that dictate share prices. The company performance, of course, affects the sentiment but not the share price directly. The only time that the company is directly involved is when the company raises money by selling shares. Thereafter they are traded without further reference to the company. However, many things affect sentiment amongst which are: good or bad results, takeover talk, bankruptcy talk, dividends and calls for finance. I am sure there are many others but these come immediately to mind.

Finally, we are told in the KIO half yearly Report that although sales increased three-fold, profit only went up by one and a half times i.e. profitability was halved. KIO needs to slog away and bring the whole company up to Agil's level of performance, and then our investments will pay off handsomely. When? My best guess is around this time next year but there is still a lot for them to do.

Shush........No.4 on the leader board,wouldn't take much buying to get into top three.I'll never understand the gyrations of the KIO share price

Always hard to know why KIO share price fluctuates so much,like most folk these days I,m glad to know that China is a sales target and companies like FGN/KIO etc should do well there.
