A few buys today.

[topvest] 24/9/2004 20:19

And again. Is something going on here?

[topvest] 15/9/2004 21:16

Things looking up?

[skyracer] 05/8/2004 09:29

Yes interesting Simon. Presumably the accounts, due in around one month, will be presented in a continuing/discontinued business format. The remaining business, Harper Craven, seems to be profitable. PRP looks a good recovery play now even just based on their holding in Cameron Kennedy. I dont think they should rush to spend the cash, unless they intend to make an offer for the rest of CK.

£2m disposal announced this morning - interesting!

Gone a little quiet on here anyone got any news

Very active share in recent times, up from 5p to 9p in two weeks. I bought in today I feel that something is going on, i.e. buy back or takeover. Somebody wants these share only 35m plus in total MM`s pushing the price up becuase of shortage and a order to fill. Or the MM`s know that the company as turned arround a loss into a profit and are pushing the price up for the results on 5th March o4

The guy worked his butt off for the company, eventually to no avail. He deserves a generous price. Doesn't mean this is available to anyone else or indicates the market value of the shares.

Ammounts to nearly 6% so there should be an RNS as to who the buyer was. Someone is definitely keen to buy a large quantity well over the current market price tho. Might confirm my theory that recruitment is picking up or at least bottomed hence the rises in HTP and MPI. CR

Director has just sold 2m @ 10p a share - the bid price is currently 5p? What's going on here then? CR

Certainly high risk but has substantial cash reserves to see them out. Research by industry body indicates improving demand in leisure and hospitality and the business is seasonal with stronger results from second half. If new board can deliver on sales and cost in the next six months this might be one to revisit towards the end of the year.

[skyracer] 01/5/2003 15:25

Now that a substantial loss is expected for the half year PRP is probably only worth around 3p. If their business cant be improved soon there is a danger of asset write-offs leading to liquidation.

[skyracer] 06/3/2002 00:55

Final results slightly better than expected. Although I would still expect a small loss for the coming Interim results, next years Finals should show an improvement. Encouraging signs from the US. PRP probably a short term SELL and long term BUY. Paying out the 4p extraordinary dividend was a disaster for PRP and I hope DC has learned a lesson. I said so at the time on iii when the price was over 20p and have been proved right.

[stewjames] 05/3/2002 13:31

Why was it a disaster, skyracer? The company still looks well funded. Even had it not been paid I think it's likely the price would still have fallen to near the current levels.

[skyracer] 03/2/2002 14:27

SReed, if you want to be critical at least be fair. If you look further down the RNS it shows he transfered the 2,334,300 to a Marylin Lee, perhaps his sister or partner, probably for tax purposes. I dont think there is anything sinister that can be inferred from this. You are quite right to talk about the admin expenses however the increase from £1.9m to £2.3m, probably due to ill-timed expansion, was the real reason why the Interim profits slumped. Prime are approaching NAV now which should begin to act as a floor. I am expecting them to make a small loss for the full year, but if the American economy is going to recover later this year then 7p for Prime may turn out to be a real buying opportunity. Prime are a cyclical stock, they are risky no doubt although at 7p some of that risk is being discounted, but a year from now they could be 15-20p again. DAVID C COUBROUGH has a large incentive to make PRP work.

Turnover 2,606,789 Administrative expenses (2,315,709) look at the admin line and also turnover it only nneds turnover to fall a little and all the profit will go. admin costs of 2.3m, just a bit over sales. We could be seeing prime in a black bag this year

[sreed] 01/2/2002 21:03

Why did the ceo lob most of his stock - see RNS\ z Receovers appt soon? 9) Number of shares/amount of stock disposed 2,334,300 10) (6.4%) of issued Class

[sreed] 07/9/2001 08:03

Prime in decline. Poetic or wot?

[sreed] 03/9/2001 18:37

Jobs pages in sunday telegraph getting thiner by the week. Obviously a very bad sign for Prime Popple and whole recruitment market. In recessions, I remember a lot of recruiters go bust v quick, some survive but not all., Look for words like "challenging" and "reduced levels of interest" in any statements and you know 2p aint too far.

[bidlick] 02/9/2001 19:38

These are destined for 5p in coming weeks. Look out for a :"trading statement" Balance sheet dont look too strong at mo. Recession to bite.

[capt bligh] 31/8/2001 10:52

Argy2 What were the results of your investigations?

[dolan77] 15/8/2001 20:44

Cant work this one out at the moment. These shares are surely worth more than the current price....maybe there is something we dont know about!
