Interesting to note the increase in loan from HSBC from <£8m at 31 March
to £11m at 30 Sep.

The restrictive Bank Covenants are at para 28 of the accounts.

‘Green shoots’ are already coming through at Manolete, UK's largest 3rd party 'Insolvency Litigation Funder'.

Find out here, why I also think there's a lot more 'blossoming' to come after today's positive H1'22 trading update.

Completely agree Maddox. The first half trading period ending 30 Sept 2021 would have been the darkest hour before the dawn for MANO. With the law reverting back to normal from 1 October things should get back to their previous strong growth story and then I am hoping even better than that (as the huge backlog of insolvencies works through the system). But you are absolutely right, there will be a time lag exactly as you describe in your most recent post. Should be interesting to see how this develops over the next 1,2 and 3 years.

I also agree - Paul Hill/Vox Markets (and his excellent Fund Manager guests) seem to be particularly high quality analysts on a wide range of small-mid companies.

[brummy_git] 21/9/2021 16:56

Agreed Maddox - Manolete is a long term growth story.

[maddox] 21/9/2021 11:34

I have huge respect for Paul Hill so great to have him promoting the MANO investment proposition. However, I'm concerned that expectations don't get set too high, too early. We're just coming up to the end of 1H on 30 Sept - so business volumes from the uptick in insolvencies are unlikely to have had any impact, and that might be the same for 2H. So, whilst it's positive that MANO are reporting trading in-line with management expectations they're probably not going to look terrific on a comparative basis.

The medium/long-term prospects for MANO are looking stronger every month but there is a need to factor-in the timeframe for liquidations to become leads, leads to become cases, cases to be settled, and settled cases to become cash.

We don't want impatient disappointed bulls whinging-on as they invariably do.

Regards Maddox

The Insolvency Stats are out:

'In August 2021 there were 1,256 Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidations (CVLs), which is the highest level seen in the series since January 2019. The number of registered company insolvencies was similar to pre-pandemic levels, driven by a higher number of CVLs, although other types of company insolvencies, such as compulsory liquidations, remained lower.'

The Aug 2021 figures, typically a quieter month, are 30% higher than pre-Covid Aug 2019. So, we now have four months in a row signalling that the volume of insolvencies on which MANO sources its cases has returned to pre-Covid levels - and then some.

To reiterate my words of caution, it takes about six months for the liquidations to generate enquiries to MANO. This normal time-frame may have also been affected by Covid?

Today is the 'record date', therefore yesterday was the ex-dividend date.

[jimtech] 10/9/2021 14:00

Not always. In the case of MANO the dividend has been reduced so there may not be much change. Also, with government business bankruptcy support now confirmed to be withdrawn, there could well be further upward movement.

[dagoberia] 10/9/2021 13:33

Is there normally not a share price drop on the ex dividend day? As in people selling as they are on the div record

[rmjpb] 10/9/2021 12:31

Today this goes xd. Let’s hope it maintains this price next week.

[xpertgreeny] 09/9/2021 12:48

End of UK insolvency restrictions announced this morning.

[gaiusgracchus] 28/8/2021 08:38

Yeah I read that IC article yesterday as well. A nice tailwind seems to be building. Was surprised the article didn't mention MANO - maybe the CEO has fallen out with the IC writers haha

[xpertgreeny] 27/8/2021 14:43

The golden years of MANO are just about to begin.

[wordsmith] 25/8/2021 23:17

I agree that patience is key. From the point of liquidity,you also have to be aware that there is a large percentage of private and institutional investors, who are likely to be in for the long haul.

[bigbaggy] 25/8/2021 12:15

Very steady progress here. Everything is pointing to the Government reversing their emergency temporary Covid "insolvency ban" in the next few weeks. MANO should then benefit from highly favourable tailwinds for the next few years as the real Covid and Brexit economic damage and massive furlough/BBL fraud finally gets addressed. Patient investors should now be rewarded.

[maddox] 19/8/2021 08:47

I'm following the Gov.uk compiled stats on company CVLs (Creditor's Voluntary Liquidations) as a leading indicator for demand for MANO's services.

July is the third month in a row showing a recovery to pre-Covid levels: July 2021 matches exactly July 2019, and is 70% ahead of July 2020.

It typically takes about six months for the cases to feed through to inquiries to MANO and hard confirmation of this trend.

[farrugia] 18/8/2021 16:19

yes i think that's when we'll get the update - got a confirmation

[jonwig] 12/8/2021 10:04

AGM is 21/09, maybe you'll get it then?
