from digital look.com todays mkt update.Maybe this had a little something to do with recent rally!

New Issues Round-Up

Date: Friday 05 Jan 2007

LONDON (ShareCast) - The IPO market began 2007 at snail's pace, with just two new issues to get excited about, although talk that New Look may make a stockmarket comeback grabbed headlines..................


"There was disappointment at Noah Education though as the provider of electronic learning products in China said it was delaying its float indefinitely after failing to achieve its intended valuation.

The AIM listing, which had been lined up for the middle of December, was expected to raise as much as £31.6m and value the company at about £132m."

Chinese companies have been seen as a bit too high risk by many investors after some recent high profile failures including bio-fertilizer group Bodisen Biotech.

Next week is unlikely to provide much more interest as only debt advice firm Brightside and resource sector investments hopeful Bramlin are queued up for admission to AIM.

Gone very quiet on here - wonder if Investors chronicle had anything to say on this - though frankly I couldn't care what they say.

School owner is YOUR School for sale?
Is your school for sale we ask?
We aim to engage in a very confidential process from the outset. We have completed the purchase of a school inside 8 weeks,although some take longer.

Here's a summary of the process we usually follow in purchasing a school:

Introduction
Cognita has purchased many schools, both proprietory held and in trust
We engage in a confidential process (Hopefully PEERS is on holidays yet again)
Cognita's access to capital means no third party funds are required to complete transactions which results in a swifter, more certain and more confidential sale process
First steps
The Seller usually approaches Cognita either:
Chris Woodhead, Chairman
Rees Withers, Chief Executive
We arrange a confidential and informal meeting to:
Discuss reasons for sale, thoughts, concerns
Discuss how any sale process might work
Provide information about Cognita, its plans, schools, people and its investors
Agree to follow up meetings, usually out-of-hours at the school, leading to:
An agreement to proceed or otherwise
Parties signing a confidentiality and exclusivity agreement
Next steps
Seller provides more detailed information on the school (Hopefully PEERS is on holidays yet again)
Cognita introduces an independent valuer/surveyor at own cost
Cognita indicates its offer to the vendor in writing, which is subject to the next step, 'due diligence' (Hopefully PEERS is on holidays yet again)
Due Diligence
Parties appoint lawyers
Cognita's accountants are introduced to the seller's accountants
Details get exchanged between these parties to verify and review accounts, title, contracts, school data etc (Hopefully PEERS is on holidays yet again)
Cognita reviews summary reports provided by its advisors and confirms consistent with expectations
Agreement
Lawyers draft a sales and purchase agreement
Contracts are exchanged (confirmed that PEERS is on holidays yet again)
Sale closes and ownership changes hands hopefully with the old owner being marched off forever

Hi, Gary.

It looks like ~£84m in the last annual report (Note 12 to the accounts)..
Also ~£26m of goodwill.
I don't hold these, but took an interest after the profits warning.
You can get the last report as pdf from the website.

I'm not sure whether the bottom has been reached here, they don't seem to have been very good at managing either the business or investor expectation. Institutions tend to dump en masse in such cases.

Regards,
John

Kevin sold off the schools group because they were a ragbag bunch put together by our Kev on his buying spree after NAE floated. NAE could not run what is a steady business with traditionally 20%+ returns on equity. I forcast Kevin and Co will run the nurseries in a similar lacklustre manner.
Sell up now fellow long suffering NAE investors and buy a school.

Leapfrog nurses ambitions of £70m float
Matthew Goodman and Lucinda Kemeny



THE nursery chain Leapfrog is planning once again to try to bounce on to the stock market in a £70m flotation.
The 40-strong nursery group is understood to be close to appointing Collins Stewart, the stockbroker, to work on the listing. A float would mark the company's second try at going public after abandoning an attempt in May 2002.



The appointment of Collins Stewart, second in last year's list of advisers on flotations, will be formalised at a Leapfrog board meeting this month. The float is being pencilled in for June and will value the group at between £65m and £70m. Neither Collins Stewart nor Leapfrog could be reached for comment.

The chain was founded by Sue Husbands after she had trouble finding daycare for her own children. Chairman Derek Mapp came on board in 1998 and arranged venture-capital backing to fund expansion. Backers include European Acquisition Capital and UBS Capital.

Although a float remains the preferred option, a trade sale is also being considered. The company is negotiating with at least two potential buyers.

Leapfrog is in a race to be the first nursery chain to come to market - last October, The Sunday Times revealed that Busy Bees, a rival, was also considering a flotation.

News of the float will come as a relief to many private- equity houses. A report out today shows they have unrealised investments in British buy-outs worth an estimated £37 billion, of which £11 billion relates to deals completed before 2000. The report, titled Exit, was compiled by the Centre for Management Buy-Out Research and published by Barclays Private Equity and Deloitte.

It examined the number of investments made and realised in the past 20 years and highlighted the mounting pressure on private-equity groups to sell.

Traditionally, private-equity groups use their investors' money to buy assets that they hold for between three to five years. They use their expertise to run these companies more efficiently in order to make good returns for investors.

But the report concluded that the average time to exit has steadily increased in recent years because of the difficulties in exiting through the traditional routes of a trade sale or flotation.

Mark Pacitti at Deloitte said: "The traditional exit routes of flotations and trade sales have been virtually shut for over two years so many private-equity investments are getting well past their sell-by date."

From the Sunday Telegraph today..........

Nord Anglia lesson

Take a look at education and training firm Nord Anglia Education (248.5p). The Cheadle-based company, which last year restructured its business and raised £10m by issuing new shares, looks well positioned for future growth.

Last November it announced that full-year operating profits to the end of August had increased by 4.7 per cent to £5.1m. The chairman, Kevin McNeany, said the group's three divisions - outsourcing, schools and nurseries - had all performed well.

What is more interesting is that JO Hambro, the fund manager, has just emerged as a surprise holder of a 4.97 per cent stake in Nord Anglia.

JO Hambro has a track record as an aggressive investor prepared to shake up companies in a bid to squeeze out value. We suggest bolder investors follow the fund manager into the shares. Buy.

Americans call it the "big mo" i.e.momentum. All important - must keep the pot boiling. Small Caps are often shunned by the large institutions. NAE has a capitalisation of £69 million. Some institutions want to invest £69 million - not take control of a company. Therefore Small Caps are of more interest to private investors. Most private investors (with respect) cannot interpret a Report & Accounts or changes in life patterns. Therefore they rely upon other bodies i.e. the press , to write in black and white BUY upon which they respond. Once this is achieved they feel confident to proceed.

Well, well, well ...

Another Excellent BUY recommendation (@ 225-240) in todays Investors Chronicle.

I Don't always agree with IC but this time they've got it right.

So, we've had big buy recommendations from both, Shares magazine and Investors Chronicle.

I've been saying these have been a buy over and over again since 180p, 200p and still the case now at 240p - check out the charts - next resistance level will be 280p - it's a steady rise till then.

Also, get ready for some broker re-ratings and more buy recommendations from brokers and Tip sheets in coming weeks.

The trick is to beat the herd ... still a buying opportunity before others join the band waggon and remember, we're bound to get further institutional buying once NAE gets more exposure, it's inevitable.

All IMHO, DYOR, etc ...

Good luck to all.
