Gone!

Administration -

This is possibly all a bit academic but...
A Notice of Intention to Appoint Administrators normally gives a maximum 10 Business days protection to the filing business from creditors (once it's filed at court) whilst they appoint administrators.

Having read the 20th June RNS again, it doesn't say they actually have filed a notice.

Does anyone here know if they have?

Currently a top story in the York Press on their website side bar of shame...

The Press approached Paragon for a comment but received no response.

Redmug, I would recommend they reach out to someone first thing tomorrow morning.

As soon as HSBC pulled the plug, the auditors would have refused to issue the 'going concern' statement in the (overdue) accounts.The administrator of PEL will overcharge and have no interest in doing a good deal. A pre-pack at a very low price is my guess.I don't understand why no mention hasn't been made in today's RNS of trying to find a trade buyer for at least part of the business. Haven't they tried that ? I suppose we could be lucky and a bigger player buys PEL to gain the tools, people and existing contracts. But unlikely...

I don't know enough about PEL to really comment on that -

However, what I am noticing is company after company seems to be in trouble -

2018 was a terrible year -

2019 so far is looking even worse and I wonder whether the big one will be here this year -

Paragon was a good honest company. To answer tomboyd question, the directors really did use their own cash to buy shares and the recent subscription which I guess was to keep the bank happy was from their own pocket.

They have had more than their fair share of poor clients who fail to pay up for work done and this take its toll on the finances.

The product produced was amazing; but sometimes this isn’t enough.

Hsbc have clearly taken a view to recover what they can.

I know the directors, and they’ll have done everything they possibly can. This was their business and livelihood as well that they’ve put many years of work into.

For shareholders, we get nothing. I just hope that the administrators can salvage a sale and keep it going.

Trading statement 1 week ago -

It is shocking as no indication of deaths door -

[dave4545] 20/6/2019 16:05

Shocking shocking shocking

They have had numerous times this month to say what they knew and that is they are in serious trouble especially yesterday and they say nothing and let some people buy the stock knowing it's a total wipeout for them !

[tomboyb] 20/6/2019 14:53

That is really directed at all aim stocks -

[tomboyb] 20/6/2019 14:52

i have to ask -

do these directors actually pay for their own shares or is there creative accounting involved -

[playful] 20/6/2019 14:50

So sorry for folks involved. What surprises me is they must have known this was coming when MP jumped out of the CEO position.

Best hope is a deal with Stage One to save jobs but shareholders get nothing.

[phowdo] 20/6/2019 14:38

Bad luck PJ.

But there have been warning signs here for ages...

New CEO only been on the job 2 weeks.
Lets hope the administrators can save the jobs of those who actually do the creative work on making the exhibits.

[tomboyb] 20/6/2019 14:26

Can't prove anything -

However imho LUCK does NOT play a part with a trade like that -

Rigged AIM -

[mortimer7] 20/6/2019 14:15

Would like to know who it was sold 3 million shares on Monday. Either very lucky or....

[tomboyb] 20/6/2019 14:15

Sorry chaps -

Unexpected like RHL -

[fft] 20/6/2019 14:13

Bloody hell. This looks terminal.

[csmwssk12hu] 19/6/2019 08:05

Whoever bought that half million ouch nice 50% for the 3 million though from the bottom

[dave4545] 18/6/2019 17:37

Somebody dropped 3 mil at 1.05p yesterday, some might say it's a fair price. The person that bought 250k at 1.34p then another at 1.4p a few days earlier is probably not too happy

The mm of course is high fiving, sold most of that way higher in last few weeks

[csmwssk12hu] 13/6/2019 10:17

Now that’s more like it thanks for the buyback folks, first wave off loaded 1.55 next buy wave on its way but not showing yet how to make 20% in two days, next stop 1.9p, 3p, 6p they have put all the bad news in last years figures so the new ceo has a clean slate, those selling today will be kicking themselves in 6 and 12 months, always look to the future imho dyor
