Propan Homes plc (the 'Company')


Directors' Shareholding / Substantial Shareholder


The Company was today informed that on 7 November 2002 Tony Porter, the managing
director of the Company, exercised his options over 4,000,000 ordinary shares in
the capital of the Company held by Alex Johnson, non-executive director, and
Louise Johnson as to 2,000,000 ordinary shares respectively.


The Company was also informed today that on 7 November 2002 Tony Porter sold
4,000,000 ordinary shares at 10p per share. As a consequence of the above
transactions, Tony Porter is not interested in any ordinary shares. Alex Johnson
and Louise Johnson now each hold 11,306,667 ordinary shares in their own name,
each representing 15.9% of the issued ordinary share capital, as well as their
joint beneficiary interest in 9,735,166 ordinary shares held by House and
Property Venture Capital Limited which represents 13.7% of the issued share
capital, and therefore, their aggregate interest of 32,348,500 ordinary shares
represents 45.5 of the issued ordinary share capital.


The Company was also informed today that Nigel Wray is interested in 4,148,000
ordinary shares, representing 6.5 per cent. of the issued share capital of the

RECOMMENED A BUY IN MONEY WEEK 25TH INSTANT. RESEARCH COMPANY SQC HAS SET A SHARE PRICE OF 20P. I THINK ewnw IS A LITTLE TOO OPTIMISTIC, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW THE BASES OF THE STATEMENT THAT THIS ONE WILL DOUBLE!!!NEVER THE LESS GOOD HUNTING.

[rbryant] 30/10/2002 14:31

Anything to base that on ewnw?

[ewnw11314] 29/10/2002 09:34

they,ll double in the next 12 months

[argy2] 25/10/2002 16:21

Looks like the Pump'n Dumpers are bailing out today.

[thamestrader] 18/10/2002 11:36

That's fine by me, saturn5

[saturn5] 18/10/2002 11:30

Best for it to be taken over and become part of a largaer group

[thamestrader] 18/10/2002 10:58

Up 35% since 1 Oct. Any news?

[thamestrader] 15/8/2002 14:37

Can someone please remind me why I bought these.

If I could remember why I bought them, I might have a reason to hang on, but it better be a bloody good one, cos it's looking pretty silly right now.

I suppose I should start doing what all the beginners books tell you to do, keep a journal. (I should have moved on from the nursery slopes by now).

[rcturner2] 15/8/2002 13:23

lol fair comment

I keep an eye on my sells to see if they turn interesting again.

[psychicdoc] 15/8/2002 13:10

rc turner 2
what is your motive for posting you have sold out allready or are you looking to get in cheaper

[rcturner2] 12/8/2002 16:35

Does anyone still need persuading this is a dog?

Sell the stinker.

[rcturner2] 25/7/2002 14:31

A bit of a clue comes from the prices of the trades. Buys are being discounted by the MMs whereas sells are on the sell price.

[rcturner2] 23/7/2002 13:02

Couldn't disagree more chaps.

I've sold out my holding.

Earnings hardly moved and NAV is not much above market cap.

All those extra shares in issue!

[thecleaner] 22/7/2002 08:31

Results very good, puts share on a very low rating.

[thamestrader] 22/7/2002 08:25

Yes, doesn't look too bad at all, at first reading at least. The 14% increase in divi is a strong expression of confidence.

[theophilus] 22/7/2002 08:09

Good results out today.

Headline figures as follows:-

HIGHLIGHTS


• Pre-tax profit up 28.5% to £2,474,728.

• Post-tax profit up 54% to £2,003,174.

• Turnover up 29.5% to £12,928,955.

• Recommended final dividend up 14% to 0.6p per share.

Clearly it is important to read the full report and figures.
But surely this share is underpriced on both present and future earnings.
I expect it to move upwards as it gains more recognition.

Cheers

Indeed thats what I noticed, so I emailed them and posted their answer above.

Hopefully the delay stems from the complications involved following the acquisition rather than anything negative.

[theophilus] 18/7/2002 08:37

RCT.

Thanks for that info'.

I was beginning to wonder what had happened to the finals. They are later than last year, and previously they issued a notice stating when they would be announced, but not this year apparently.

Cheers

[rcturner2] 15/7/2002 08:08

Contact from company says results to be announced on 22 July.

[theophilus] 23/4/2002 15:08

Actually up 0.5 to 18.75

Cheers

Th.

[theophilus] 23/4/2002 15:00

So far up another 0.25. Looking good

Cheers

Things seem to be a bit more interesting now the effect of Artisan unloading seems to have died away.

Hopefully more buyers will come in for the stock now the spread is narrower.

[theophilus] 22/4/2002 17:41

So! Up 0.25, hardly breathtaking stuff. But any move in the upward direction is welcome.

The fact that the share price has remained strong in the face of such large volume must bode well for the future.

I am optimistic re. the full year results.

Well optimistic but with a slight dash of caution.

Cheers

[theophilus] 19/4/2002 18:39

Technically the share appears strong at the moment. It only fell 0.5 yesterday in spite of the large sales.

Today it is up 1.5, quite a movement for this share.

The fundamentals are also interesting. The new acquistion appears to be going well even if somewhat highly geared.

And I am also looking forward to good results in July or thereabouts.

Nothing in the investment world is foolproof but I am encouraged by this company for a variety of reasons.

The share price is at its highest for quite a few months now. Here's hoping the upswing continues.

Cheers
