Posted at 09/1/2025 17:43 by konradpuss David, I am sure Ravi would do a 'Zoom' with you. I am beginning to sound like Peter!The only other member of the board who attended was the finance director. He said about two words. Hello and goodbye. He seemed like a nice fellow. Ravi spoke in detail about the Fraud which I have already said was very clever. He went to the Police however they were not interested - probably too busy dealing with online hate speech! I did suggest to Ravi that if he wanted to get a better 'investor' engagement he needed to get the remainder of the board to buy some shares, get a broker who folk would recognise and a much bigger firm of auditors. He did say the current auditors had recently been taken over by - from memory Kingston Smith - still not big enough in my view. I hate public companies with small audit firms. The AGM goes down in my book as one of the 'oddities' of life. By the way, the only other fellow who attended had come from Belgium. Talk about dedication! He does have a few shares mind and I believe he is on this board. He was very intent of telling Ravi that his offer price should be 75p! |
Posted at 09/1/2025 12:40 by orchardholder @konrad thank you for attending and sharing your views - highly appreciatedI'm still holding the same 311K shares. Unfortunately, there wasn't much liquidity when the price dropped, so none of my buy orders were filled. |
Posted at 08/1/2025 18:11 by konradpuss CWA1, I attended. I thought it was an April fool as it was conducted in a house! The house is used as an office. There was one other shareholder who attended.The CEO was candid and straight forward. In a nutshell and reading between the lines, it is Chelverton and Gresham who hold just over 20% holding out for something near their 'in' price - £1.00. The CEO explained the opportunities and last years' fraud - a very clever fraud at that. Business is good. He also explained the funding model. It is extremely difficult to get facilities out more than one year. I guess the banks match the liabilities to assets. He also said the retail bond market was now much more expensive than when they tapped the market. He also said the litigation in respect of non-disclosed commissions might create big opportunities. I did suggest, going forward, the other directors should buy shares in the company and they should get a Premier Division audit firm. This is assuming they remain listed. It's a shame so few folk are willing or able to attend AGM's. I did walk around Luton Town Centre prior to the meeting. A retail disaster area. In some ways I hope I never go to Luton again, however Luton Airport is were many private jets land! |
Posted at 10/12/2024 17:10 by davidosh Eps is still 7,39p and the company could easily pay a 3p dividend.By not paying it the company is less attractive to new investors and the share price remains down in the doldrums so that Ravi can pay as low a price as possible in any tender if there is one. We should be receiving a fair offer close to the NAV or our investment in the company to help it grow is being stolen from us. I will also be at the AGM to ask ALL the board a lot of questions. |

Posted at 11/7/2024 14:28 by davidosh 97peter said...The average for the year is now down to 42p, see the FTSE charts and LSE charts. So if in 3 months we are at a low of an average if 34-36p a share then Ravi could offer 38 or 40p and take Orchard private!! My question... What is all this mathematical mumbo jumbo? Takeovers and take private deals are not based on averages of the share price in the past year. In deals recently I have had my shares bid for at prices varying from 20% to 168% above the share price on the day of the announcement. It is always down to what the buyer can afford to pay and what sellers will accept. My worry here would be that if Ravi is the only game in town he will offer very little premium. We can stay strong and refuse and of course as a listed company looking to have a trusted name to do business then bad publicity is not good so he needs to be fair and reasonable |
Posted at 10/7/2024 11:04 by unglove Hi 97Peter, the company is doing better than expected (as you mention) as per recent RNS. Therefore, come December report the share price might increase. My reason for suggesting buyout in Autumn is that share price is in doldrums and they can probably buyout for less. I think many PIs as well as institutional investors buy and sell in 10000-20000 aliquots. I do. Liquidity is minimal currently with tiny volumes in terms of monetary value.Reasons for buyout not to go ahead would be major re-rating of share price or loss of support of institutional investors and this seems unlikely. If the buyout did not go ahead then I would expect a much higher dividend to try and obtain new investors.Your predictions were very precise and would be interested in your reasoning. |
Posted at 14/9/2023 14:47 by cwa1 I keep rubbing the minuscule blue spot showing beside the ORCH share price today-but it doesn't seem to want to go away. Is my laptop screen broken? |
Posted at 27/7/2023 21:06 by valuewinsout I think the idea of getting a resolution at the AGM is a good one- but what would you like to put forward? I proposed a share buyback to Ravi by email but he doesn’t want to do it. I think that he doesn’t have an incentive to raise the share price because he can realise the true value ( above the current share price) if and when he wants to sell- he could probably sell the company to a bank at considerably higher than the current share price- because it’s valued at 50% of book price. Until then he can collect the dividends. However- a share buyback would be in his interests because then the same total dividend payment can be split between fewer shares, so it will be higher per share, and he will collect more money by keeping his existing holding, and it will be in our interest because it will boost the share price, plus raise the dividend payment. So I think that we should propose this at the AGM. The other thing a group of shareholders could ask for is a board seat. I have a fairly small holding but would be happy to vote my shares in favour of either of the these things. |
Posted at 12/2/2023 00:28 by valuewinsout Rainmaker: you make an excellent point. Buying back shares when they are valued significantly below book price is accretive to shareholders. It's preferable to e.g. returning capital via a special dividend, since any subsequent gains in the share price would be taxed as a capital gain, vs a special dividend being taxed as income, which is usually at a higher rate for most shareholders.I would welcome a share buyback: it would be a signal to the market that the management are concerned with boosting the share price, so it reflects a more realistic valuation. The only issue with a share buyback is that Orchard uses its capital, to support it's lending: so if it buys back shares it will have to borrow more in order to lend. However, I think that it could easily buy back a limited amount e.g. £1M as you suggest which would be great for the share price, helping to put a floor on the share price closer to book price rather than significantly below it, as it is now. The remaining shareholders would see their shareholding increase in value, as you can currently buy 75p per share of ORCH assets for 44p in the market, due to the current share price. Earnings and dividends would be higher every year subsequently: so I think it's a win-win. |
