16/4/2019 08:04	I remember attending an AGM (2014?) in which John Fulton, the then chairman, said trading revaluation would be an annual event. I think he was a bit stressed by some intensive questioning. Duncan Sinclair, who should have responded, sat in stony silence. JF was out soon afterwards, and annual revaluations were ruled out. (Easy to see why they would cost "millions".)	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
16/4/2019 07:46	Talisman are part of the William Peers organisation. Very smart cookies. They are seeing value here. The price will probably stay around the current level until another revaluation of the trading stock. At every AGM I have attended since the last valuation the management are asked when they will initiate another valuation, they respond staying it costs too much!	konradpuss	Read Full Thread Reply
27/3/2019 16:13	OK tiswas, thanks. I suppose MTVW at this level will preserve capital, but reaching £200 looks a forlorn hope!	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
27/3/2019 15:14	Probably not, sadly. Talisman is focused on generating absolute returns with capital preservation paramount	tiswas	Read Full Thread Reply
27/3/2019 14:59	Talisman Master Fund adds almost 1% (from 4.14% to 5.06%). Activist?	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply

14/11/2018 21:09	Looked interesting to start with didn't it and the timing a day ahead of the GM added to that but yet doesn't appear to be of much significance. Whilst presumably Mrs M is Donald's younger sister, she (or her holdings) doesn't seem to be part of the family concert party.	strathroyal	Read Full Thread Reply
14/11/2018 17:48	Strange holdings announcement - "BBTJ" has 400,000 shares, 10.259%. "On 18 October 2018, Mrs Murphy transferred 400,000 shares in Mountview Estates plc to BBTJ. BBTJ is a private unlimited company registered in England and Wales in which Mrs Murphy holds 100% of the voting rights. (ALFL Limited is a private limited company registered in England and Wales and is also a controlled undertaking of Mrs Murphy.)" That's Margaret Anne Murphy. So nothing to get excited about!	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
08/8/2018 20:34	Jonwig - all seems a bit pointless as the concert party are able to overturn this at a GM but it could signal a greater degree of dissatisfaction amongst some of the other family members. Interesting that the dissenting vote is up by around 100k this year and of course you can see the point as the chairman's salary appears to be going up by £12k annually which equated to 16% last year and 14% this year.	strathroyal	Read Full Thread Reply
08/8/2018 17:59	I see the AGM was a bit contentious ... again! The AR: Https://www.mountviewplc.co.uk/AR2018.pdf	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
14/6/2018 12:33	I'm actually encouraged by the statement. It indicates that Mountview recognises that it has a finite life and will eventually be wound-up rather than diversify into areas where it does not have an experience advantage.	nk104	Read Full Thread Reply
14/6/2018 12:25	strathroyal - "superglue" it certainly isn't! Revisiting the RNS of 5 Sept 2013: The Company has been notified that the Concert Party Agreement has been terminated with effect from today and that remaining concert party members consisting of certain Sinclair family members, related Sinclair family trusts and companies under the control of certain Sinclair family members as more particularly set out in the Appendix to this announcement, have agreed the terms of a revised concert party agreement. This revised agreement sets out certain terms of conduct between the concert party members, including the event of an offer being made for the Company. The concert party members are not bound under the terms of the revised agreement to vote together at a general meeting of the Company. This concert party continues to have control of voting rights over 2,085,263 shares representing approximately 53.48 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital. The current (revised) agreement ends in Sept 2019, but can be extended. I don't know what the CGT rules are for a takeover with huge personal implications. Doesn't an all-share offer (by, say, Grainger) defer the charge?	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
14/6/2018 12:06	I too thought the CEO comments were interesting. Presumably they were addressed to members of the concert party and encouraging them to diversify their portfolios by use of the (enhanced) dividend income rather than considering selling their shares. This seems to be one of the more likely family controlled companies that might be taken over. I say this because at the last AGM over 20% of shareholders voted against the resolutions yet the annual report only shows one notifiable stake that doesn't belong to the concert party and that was only just over 4%. So perhaps the concert party isn't held together with superglue.	strathroyal	Read Full Thread Reply
14/6/2018 08:55	I would guess as all the family receive huge amounts in these divs they will be quite sensitive to div taxation issues, cant say it bothers me tho as I pay nothing ...	catsick	Read Full Thread Reply
14/6/2018 07:52	Yes, I'm quite relaxed about these. Note the way the CEO's comments are much longer than usual, and I sense some thoughts about "Life after Mountview" - ie. return some capital as the traditional business contracts, rather than push expansion into new areas. If so there's plenty of hidden value to unlock. I wonder if he's aware that there's a rumour that the Budget will align dividend tax with income tax (ie. same at 20%)? If so, that partly explains the increase. I'm willing to add if the price drops hard today, though I sense it won't!	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
14/6/2018 07:42	Results so-so taking longer to sell stuff so profit realizations are slowing but the margins are still fat on what they are selling, increasing div makes sense as leverage is still negligible .	catsick	Read Full Thread Reply
29/5/2018 18:49	The trouble is the share price has gone nowhere in 3 years and the divi is not exactly enticing. But knowing me I will get bored and sell up and then they will sell up the following day for 30-40% more!	tiswas	Read Full Thread Reply
29/5/2018 17:58	Can we expect anything significant in term of news?.	robowen65	Read Full Thread Reply
29/5/2018 16:42	tiswas - at least it's the sort of boredom where you can go away and not worry about the house falling in! Yes, 14 June.	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply

31/1/2018 10:54	There's been a lot of press coverage recently of lower London house prices. It looks to be more than just high-end properties. Maybe that's it. The full interim report is on the website. I haven't had time to look closely to see if there are any significant details.	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply

29/11/2017 12:12	NAV has increased by 6.8% because that is what the company has added to retained earnings after taxation and dividends. Note that the 6.8% figure compares NAV with the figure 12 months ago, not the financial year end. However, we all know that NAV is meaningless for MTVW because it relates to the book value of assets and that is a long way away from the present realisable value. Maynard Paton has conducted another good review on his blog, which is well worth reading.	greatgiginthesky	Read Full Thread Reply
23/11/2017 08:38	gdjs - true, but it would have been good of them to tell us asomething! Maybe a fuller interim report will come onto the website.	jonwig	Read Full Thread Reply
