Looks like more bad news coming in 2006,hope its not another very anti NAE TV expose,they do seem to have it in for poor KEVS lot.

[daza70] 13/12/2005 17:23

I wonder what that move was at the end of the day?

See what tomorrow brings!

[seangwhite] 08/12/2005 13:28

Nurseries in general are still finding the going tough,it only needs another TV or press expose to bring NAE crashing down again.Wonder if our KEV will do us all a favour and bow out?

See that Platinum Investment Trust has upped it's stake. It is now holding another 600,000 shares. Can't see a reason for today's large fall.

This is why the share is going nowhere,its the 'NURSERIES' stupid

From todays Sunday Telegraph..........

Nord Anglia

Last week, Nord Anglia (121.5p), the private education company, reported turnover up 22 per cent and profits up by 41 per cent to £7.9m. The company is the only fully listed education group and operates in three main areas. It provides outsourced education and training services to the public sector from local education authorities to clients such as the MOD.

It also runs 101 nurseries in the UK and it operates international schools overseas which aim to provide a high-quality, British-style education for children up to 18. The nursery market has suffered from over-provision in recent years but the other two markets are growing strongly and Nord Anglia is well placed to capitalise on that growth. Buy.

Not looking too good here,PEERS says our brave KEV has not been on the phone looking to buy any of his stock of small schools for yonks now,not a good sign I fear.

And in the news today a clearout of the old CHEADLE MAFIOSA who happily (if amatuerishly) dealt with good old PEERS in the Glorious Old Days,whatever next?

Kevs managed to offload the NAE schools in Ukraine for a P/E of about 6.5,if good old Peers used that number his asking price on most of STC's stock would have to be reduced fairly substabtially.

[seangwhite] 25/10/2005 10:00

Thought this might get a bit of a boost with all the talk about schools today

[ladbury wilky] 18/10/2005 20:02

Nice to see good old Patrick getting a better class of school to sell on.

Hearing rumours that 'the' numbers on roll this September at the nurseries are not up to forcast and the level which Myerson and his mates would like.Surely now is the time for our brave KEV to make a bold and decisive move.

[seangwhite] 25/9/2005 11:23

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

School trerm starts soon hope it will be a good selling season for our beloved PEERS

[seangwhite] 16/8/2005 10:30

Brian Meyerson and his chums will have their work cut out trying to re-educate our poor Head 'KEV', good 'old buckteeth' as he is known to his close colleagues was an obstinate type of learner back at primary school in Northern Ireland and from what I've heard since he has not improved much since then.Maybe the stricter South African training model will work wonders on KEV and hopefully the shareprice.

[seangwhite] 09/8/2005 00:33

Why is KEV deserting us in our hour of need?

[seangwhite] 01/8/2005 10:49

Kevin will have to sell a lot more than this to get the share price to move I feel.
