It`s disappointing to see so few investors in this case.
It`s an almost guaranteed win.
Admission of guilt (buying 25% of the company).Clever tactics.
One can only wish all concerned.Even the old board Mart and friends well.
And hopefully a speedy negotiated settlement of a chaotic situation.
Not helped by market forces and underhand tactics.

Latvia fears Asia-style bank crisis

18 May 2007

Investors are nervously watching Latvia for signs that unsustainable credit growth across Eastern Europe could set off an Asian-style banking crisis, with global repercussions.

The rating agency Standard & Poor's yesterday stripped the tiny Baltic country of its 'A' standing, citing an "increasing risk of a hard landing" and the failure to slow runaway spending. Latvia's sovereign debt was cut to BBB+, with warnings of further relegation to come. Credit growth reached 78% last year. Riga property prices have doubled since early 2005, driving prices in the old city above levels in Berlin. The current account deficit was 26% of GDP in the Q4, the world's highest. "The government does not seem to have a sense of urgency in tackling the mounting imbalances," said the agency. Instead it is building 'mega-projects' such as a lavish new concert hall. The central bank belatedly raised interest rates to 6% yesterday, a move damned as too little too late for an economy with 8.9% inflation. S&P said Latvia could ultimately face ejection from the European exchange rate system. "This would have a devastating effect on the private sector balance sheet," it said.

Carsten Valgreen, chief economist for Danske Bank, says much of Eastern Europe is looking vulnerable, with back-sliding populist leaders and a dangerously high mortgage debts in euros, Swiss francs, and lately yen. "All the red lights are flashing. The region looks very much like East Asia before the crisis in 1997, and by some measures it' worse," he said. Over 85% of all household and corporate debt in Latvia is contracted in foreign currencies, a proportion similar to Argentine dollar debt before the collapse of the peso peg in 2001.

Hungary, Poland, Croatia, Romania and the other Baltic states have all been snapping up foreign loans, accounting for much of the outstanding $138 billion (£79 billion) of Swiss franc debt outside Switzerland by the end of 2006. Fitch Ratings said credit growth last year reached 68% in Kazakhstan, 64% in Azerbaijan, 55% in Estonia, and 46% in Romania, all far above their sustainable speed-limits. The region needs $217 billion in external financing this year to plug deficits. "Cheap and plentiful capital inflows have fuelled the economic boom Eastern Europe. This begs the question how well the region will cope in the event of a marked increase in risk aversion and tightening liquidity," it said. (telegraph.co.uk)

UBS launches world's first global warming index


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - UBS Investment Bank said it is launching the
world's first global warming index based on weather futures contracts for 15 US
cities traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
The contracts compare the average daily temperatures in 15 US cities against
a given base, and will eventually be extended to include other major cities
around the world.
UBS said the index, called the UBS-GWI, will allow investors most affected
by the uncertainty of climate change to hedge their exposure to weather and to
diversify their portfolios with an alternative asset class.
"Weather derivatives volumes have increased dramatically over the last few
years yet they remain an untouched asset class for the vast majority of
investors," said the bank.

I do believe they are running out of cash, and would suggest the following options are being viewed (in this order).

Large investor - Our shareholdings diluted
Bank facilities (long term) - We are at the mercy of the Bankers
Bank facilities (short term) - to be repaid once cashflow improves.
Rights Issue - more favourable for us, but will increase our monetary stake in the company

still waiting results & THAT announcement (THAT = something, hopefully good, to give a reason for the delay.

I have also noticed some trades (small) going through recently. Most days there are none.

With regards to the "investor", I'll find out some more information & will post here. My initial 'feelings' are that MET need more cash, and they may look at creating new shares for this person to purchase, thereby reducing our percentage holding, but giving the company a cash injection.

Please note these are only rumours, and my feelings. DYOR.

Where are the results ?

Any news on the rumour of a major investor (previously owned on of the companies MET purchased) coming back to help cashflow ?
