In the last interim report there are 35 million shares in issue - now there are 41 million - anyone know how or why?

given the debt and little cashflow this could very realistically go bust...

Yes agreed but there seems to be some support here for them and the recent director buying, although only small amounts must bode well.

It's not news - you'd need to review their latest report or RNSs over many months to develop a picture of the extent of their newhaven acquisition and commitments to redevelop the area. It's a huge deal for OKD and has cost them a lot - obviously, the current shaky market will raise questions about how best they must proceed to manage cashflow and optimise returns.

I think it is Newhaven and where did you get that from and whats the story

Unless the runour refers to Newhaven, I'd imagine that another land purchase would be the last thing wanted right now.

If its true of course.

interesting that Turpin has added, maybe things are looking up, I shall do some research and see what I can find out.

Turpin stocking up!

Oakdene Homes PLC said chief executive Carl
Turpin purchased a further 100,000 shares in the company at 63 pence each, and,
after the transaction, is interested in 4.10 mln shares, or about 9.96 pct of
the total voting rights in the company.

It's certainly looking grim.

Pamslad, you ask an interesting question.

My October company refs had OKD down for a BUY and pre tax profits at £14.7m !!

Now the company say £5m on the two sales deals that did not complete. Does that make a difference of £10m in profit ? Were they mega deals or what ?? Surely that info was known to the company but there has been no update since the interims ?

Did any other shareholders still have a forecast of £14.7m or was it changed and who changed it please ?

I was just wondering how much further these have to go before people start looking at them as a long term recovery play ?

They seem to have given up talking to the people who were following them,so it's hard to argue with you people.They waited until their shares had about halved before admitting there was a problem.They now seem to have thrown in the towel altogether as regards PR.The tiny hope is that just maybe there is a reason they don't need it.
If anyone has heard anything from them,perhaps they'd let us know.

Surprising this hasn't fallen further since the announcement and initial dive. Particularly today! Shaky, I don't think we are at the bottom here. When the shares were £1.70 this was rated as a growth stock. Now profits are shrinking and there are concerns over the level of indebtedness. The shares have only fallen in line with other housebuilders but there are additional specific concerns about this company

As one of the purchasers of a house built by the company that Oakdene took over, my view at the outset was that the whole thing looked shambolic. Nothing has happened to change that point of view, and if you could see the quality of the so-called work that Oakdene has done on our development, you would conclude that shambolic was in fact a very kind description. Not surprised if no-one wants to buy their properties. I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

I think people are being a trifle hard on messrs Turpin and Wray.At the time Turpin was being a bit aggressive,that was seen as the thing to do.Now,with the benefit of hindsight,perhaps more prudence would have been better [the same could also be said of Northern Rock ! ]

On the other hand, the problem is surely that we cannot project with much reliability, the extent and duration of any housing downturn, and in such a context the smaller illiquid shares tend to suffer most. On a long-term view I certainly find it hard to be able to judge the cycle and OKD, to determine if now is a worthwhile buying point, relative to opportunities elsewhere in the stockmarket. Hence you could make a case for 'avoid' simply in terms of portfolio opportunity cost.

I seem to recall Carl Turpin was involved with some kind of vehicle company that failed, maybe that is the pun ('drove' bankrupt) although I don't wholly share the British prejudice against managers with insolvency experience.

I am quite surprised Nigel Wray, 'The Master Investor' as he is billed on t1ps.com, got massively over-exposed here in an illiquid share. A reminder to continue to trust my own judgment.

Masurenguy,the problem with the sort of article that you show as appearing in the Independent,is that its authors rarely stop to analyse whether a stock offers value at the price at which it is trading.There is a price at which almost any stock of a company turning a profit should be bought - that article does little to suggest to me that they have properly addressed the question of whether that price has been reached.Don't forget that Oakdene's shareprice has fallen by a far greater percentage than its profits - it was trading around 170p not that long ago.
Thanks for showing the article - it was informative - but would it's writers ever get you in at the bottom?

Oakdene Homes
Our view: Avoid

Share price: 66p (-33.5p)

The smallish South-east housebuilder Oakdene Homes was 53 per cent off its year's high when it wheeled out its profit warning yesterday, quickly turning that into a 70 per cent slump. Profits for last year will now be down from £8.6m to around £5m. A bulk buyer of 30 of the 111 units just built at its flagship residential development at Newhaven walked away. They will now have to be sold to private buyers, which could take some time. The planned purchaser of a major development site also got cold feet.

At times like these a large housebuilder can mothball sites, shrink costs and soldier on. That option is less easy for a small niche player with little else to fall back on. Oakdene is expecting completions to fall from 228 to 165. Revenue as a result will be down nearly 30 per cent at £37m.

There are some optimistic projects in the pipeline. It hopes to win planning approval for various waterside developments at Newhaven and Southampton, involving 1,100 units but in this climate it is unlikely it will start any serious work until confidence returns to the market. Brokers have cut 2008 forecasts from over £13m to £5.4m, reflecting the downturn expected. A bidder keen on picking up a 1,000-unit-strong land bank could emerge, otherwise there is little upside for the shares at present.
Avoid.

Oakdene deserves to trade at a premium to the sector generally.Its high debt level is counterbalanced by its large landbank,but that leaves its strong niche position.That makes it an attractive target at these levels,despite its debt.
