LOL!

Once Winterfloods realise that there is no real demand for these and all those early trades were just multi aliased megaramper, pill box, banging a load through in quick sucession to try and kick off a pump'n'dump, they'll probably mark it back down again...

The Ryans have big ideas for ROE...No trades for awhile as you cannot buy any online.

[sand frog] 21/12/2007 08:22

Dell yes buy some, big things going on..Just 5 mill in free float..

[dell314] 21/12/2007 08:17

Hello Pill box.

With cash of under 0.15p per share now, if you buy at 0.6p or over, you're assuming that they can do a property deal that will quadruple their assets!
If they are that good, I'll consider giving them all my cash to invest for me, so I can go and lie on a beach somewhere!

I'd also suggest that this is just an initial fundraising to maintain solvency and you are likely to see a lot more shares get issued at some stage.

I suppose it's anyone guess what price the next tranche of stock gets issued at but I'd rather buy a stock with asset, or earnings backing, so I know I've got a safety net and won't just get locked in when pumpers like yourself start dumping...

[sand frog] 21/12/2007 08:08

[jonc] 21/12/2007 08:08

Indeed dell.

I think I will float my house on AIM.

Should be a few mugs out their to buy the shares.

[dell314] 21/12/2007 08:06

So we now have a property company with £391k -£100k liabilities = roughly £290k ignoring costs of the share issue.

What could they buy with £290k?

A semi?
A couple of flats?
A selection of sheds at B&Q?

Exciting isn't it?

NAV is now about 0.15p per share...

All IMHO, DYOR etc.

[dell314] 21/12/2007 07:17

Oh dear! 157mln new shares at only 0.25p, eh?

Reading between the lines and ignoring all the bull, I think what Chancer6 is really trying to say is "Man the lifeboats! Please don't sell before I do!!"....

I must say I'm surprised that none of Chancer's posts mentioned the fact that the Ryan's valuation of the company happened to be six times lower than his idiotic figure. LOL!

Anyway, what is Chancer burbling on about RTOs and due dilligence for?
Whilst it's anyone's guess what ROE do going forward, yesterday's RNS states, "The Subscription will........in part, provide additional funding for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Group and will permit the Company to consider and potentially exploit further property development opportunities".

So it appears to be a property investor raising money to invest in property, surprisingly enough!

[chancer6] 20/12/2007 21:44

BEK is on my watch list but I'm waiting for the next quarterly results.

With regards to ROE, we may well see the price shoot up to 1p or even more in the short term - the company was priced to go bust and imo the Ryan's know what they're doing and have done alot of good business in this sector already.



The free float will remain very small even after the EGM in January and I would expect any acquisitions to be announced thereafter and then back to the 2.50-3.00 pence levels.

[kegs-on-legs] 20/12/2007 21:36

Excellent news. Still limited shares available to buy in the market.Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Chancer6-have you had a look at BEK? They hold 15p cash per share & you can now buy at 5.25p. Worth a small punt IMHO but please DYOR etc.

[chancer6] 20/12/2007 19:19

The Ryan's imo will definitely do something big with this company now.


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Roeford Properties PLC said it intends to issue
156.73 mln new shares to Tony Ryan and Maggie Ryan and Corvus Capital Inc at
0.25 pence per share, adding the subscription will raise about 391,833 stg
before expenses.
The company also said that executive chairman Robin Assael and executive
director Alison Rankin will resign from the company.
The share subscription will, in part, provide additional funding for the
ongoing working capital requirements and will permit the company to consider and
potentially exploit further property development opportunities.
In September, the company said some of its shareholders have agreed to
provide immediate funding to the company following an internal review of various
business opportunities.

IMO they must have identified a deal as it was in the public domain from June that existing shareholders were going to provide more money. They've raised this much imo to conduct due diligence on an acquisition. Yesterday, TER went up by 125% on back of their financing and imo with such a free float remaining even before any deal is announced, these could rise substantially from these lows.

[safman] 20/12/2007 18:22

evening..

just in and looking at roe.. essentially a shell, with new management.. i did go to the website to have quick peep.. seems tony and maggie ryan ?.. part of mar city developments..



the placing done at ord value.. 0.25p.. and i think 194 mill shares in issue, of which around 90% to be held by the ryans and corvus.

will take a further look tonight..

saffy..

[chancer6] 20/12/2007 17:24

The shares were priced to go bust....and now could rise heavily in the short term....may exceed expectations with such a free float.

[chancer6] 20/12/2007 17:18

New board as well and seems Maggie Ryan has got the necessary experience in this field:

Margaret Anne Ryan (aged 44, proposed Executive Director)

Maggie Ryan has over 24 years' experience in the property and development
industry. Maggie spent her first two years in commerce in a managerial position
with a civil engineering company before going on to form Mar City Developments
Limited with Tony Ryan in 1984. Current Directorships include Marplant Limited,
Marplant Hire Limited, Marland Reclamation Limited, Mar Group Limited, Land
Cleaning Limited, Oakford Resources Limited and Margall (Wordsley) Limited.
Maggie will be appointed as an executive director from Admission.

[chancer6] 20/12/2007 17:15

Good news imo and some kind of deal is lined up by Tony & Maggie Ryan. The free float is going to stay the same at 3-4 million and I am very optimistic about the share price reaching 1p in the short term. Any sniffs of an acquisition then 1.50-2.00 pence will come in a flash imo.

Roeford Properties Subscription & Board Changes




RNS Number:4391K
Roeford Properties PLC
20 December 2007



Roeford Properties Plc ("Roeford" or the "Company")

20 December 2007

Proposed Subscription of 156,733,334 Ordinary Shares at 0.25p per share, Waiver
of rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Changes to Board


Further to the AGM statement announced on 5 June 2007, the Board is pleased to
announce that the Company has today conditionally agreed to issue, in aggregate,
156,733,334 new Ordinary Shares to Tony Ryan and Maggie Ryan (the "Ryans") and
Corvus Capital Inc. at a price per Ordinary Share of 0.25p. The Subscription
will raise approximately £391,833 before expenses and will, in part, provide
additional funding for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Group and
will permit the Company to consider and potentially exploit further property
development opportunities.

The Proposals are conditional on the approval of Shareholders at the EGM, to be
held at 11.00am on 14 January 2008 at Memery Crystal LLP, 44 Southampton
Buildings, London WC2A 1AP, notice of which has been posted to Shareholders.
Following Completion the Ryans will, together, be the beneficial owners of, in
aggregate, 155,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 79.54 per cent. of the
Enlarged Share Capital. Independent Shareholders will therefore also be asked to
vote on the Waiver Resolution to approve a waiver by the Panel of any obligation
on the part of the Concert Party to make a general offer to Shareholders under
rule 9 of the City Code arising from the issue to the Concert Party of the
Subscription Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

Michael Hirschfield, a non-executive director of the Company, is deemed to be
interested in the Subscription by virtue of his directorship in Corvus. Robin
Assael, an executive director, of the Company is deemed to have a conflict of
interest because of a former business relationship with the Ryans. Accordingly,
Michael Hirschfield and Robin Assael have not participated in the Board's
deliberations and recommendations with regard to the Proposals.

Corvus may not vote its Ordinary Shares in favour of Resolution 1 (the Waiver
Resolution) due to its participation in the Subscription and due to Michael
Hirschfield's directorship in Corvus. John Assael, the brother of Robin Assael,
may not vote his Ordinary Shares in favour of Resolution 1 as he is deemed to be
non-independent. They do however intend to vote their Ordinary Shares in favour
of Resolutions 2 (appointment of Maggie Ryan as a director), 3 (appointment of
Mark Grady as director), 4 (authority to allot shares) and 5 (disapplication of
pre-emption rights).

Irrevocable undertakings to vote in favour of the Resolutions have been received
from certain Independent Shareholders in respect of 10,027,251 Existing Ordinary
Shares, representing approximately 22.62 per cent. of the Existing Ordinary
Shares.

Shareholders should note that the Proposals are inter-conditional. It is
expected that Completion will take place and that Admission and trading in the
Subscription Shares will commence on 15 January 2008.



Background to and reasons for the Subscription

Following Completion, the Company intends to grow through a combination of the
acquisition, regeneration, financing and eco-friendly development of real estate
and interests in real estate entities, specialising in commercial and
residential properties and property owning companies in the UK and Europe.

The Ryans have agreed to subscribe approximately £363,333 and Corvus has agreed
to subscribe £28,500 to support this strategy. In addition, Corvus has agreed to
pay the Company a fee of up to £156,500 in respect of property related advisory
services provided to it by the Company and has also entered into the Corvus
Indemnity under which it has agreed to settle all other residual liabilities of
the Company including professional fees relating to the Subscription (excluding
those relating to the Concert Party which the members of the Concert Party will
be paying for personally). As a result, the Subscription proceeds together with
the results of trading since 21 January 2007 are expected to increase net assets
to approximately £363,333.

Alison Rankin, (the "Independent Director") believes that the Subscription
represents the best way to build value in the Company for Shareholders by
removing the Company's existing liabilities and providing the Company with the
additional working capital to enable it to pursue its strategy.

The Independent Director believes that the Company has reached the point that
without further financing it is unable to undertake any material commercial
activity. If Shareholders do not vote in favour of the Proposals, the
Independent Director believes the future prospects for the Company will be
bleak.

The strategy of the Concert Party is to support the strategy of the Company.



The Subscription

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Ryans and Corvus have agreed
conditionally to subscribe in aggregate for 156,733,334 new Ordinary Shares
(fully paid and ranking equally in all respects with the Existing Ordinary
Shares) having a value of £391,833 in aggregate at 0.25p per share.

The current holdings of the Concert Party and Corvus in the Company and the
number of Subscription Shares to be issued to them on Completion are as follows:



Holder Existing Ordinary Percentage of Subscription Shares Percentage of
Shares Existing Ordinary Enlarged Share
Shares Capital

Concert Party
Tony Ryan 4,833,333 12.67 52,333,334 29.34
Maggie Ryan 4,833,333 12.67 93,000,000 50.20
Mark Grady - - - -
Total 9,666,666 25.34 145,333,334 79.54


Holder Existing Ordinary Percentage of Subscription Shares Percentage of
Shares Existing Ordinary Enlarged Share
Shares Capital

Corvus Capital Inc. 8,600,000 22.55 11,400,000 10.26



On Completion, the Concert Party will own, in aggregate, 155,000,000 Ordinary
Shares, representing 79.54 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital, and Corvus
will own, in aggregate, 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 10.26 per cent.
of the Enlarged Share Capital.

The Subscription Agreement is conditional on the passing of all of the
Resolutions at the EGM necessary to approve the waiver and to authorise the
Company to issue the Subscription Shares.

Application will be made for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading
on AIM. Subject to completion of the Subscription, Admission is expected to
take place, and dealings in the Subscription Shares are expected to commence, on
15 January 2008.


Board Changes

With effect from Completion, it is proposed that both Alison Rankin and Robin
Assael will resign from the Board and Michael Hirschfield will remain as a Non-
Executive Director. Upon resigning as directors Alison Rankin and Robin Assael
have indicated that they will remain involved in the property investment
business. An opportunity for a potential future investment in property in Spain
has been made known to them whilst directors of Roeford. The Board of Roeford
and the Ryans have confirmed in writing that the Company has no interest in
pursuing this opportunity itself.

Kitwell Consultants Limited, the Company's secretary, will also resign upon
Completion and Brian William Hunt will be appointed in its place.

At the EGM, various resolutions will be proposed, conditional on obtaining
Shareholders' approval of the Subscription, including, to appoint Maggie Ryan
and Mark Grady (the "Proposed Directors"), to the Board. Further information on
the Proposed Directors is set out below:



Margaret Anne Ryan (aged 44, proposed Executive Director)

Marplant Hire Limited, Marland Reclamation Limited, Mar Group Limited, Land
Cleaning Limited, Oakford Resources Limited and Margall (Wordsley) Limited.

The Independent Director, who has been so advised by W.H. Ireland, considers
that the waiver of the obligation that the Concert Party might otherwise incur,
as a result of the Subscription, to make a general offer for the whole of the
share capital of the Company, is fair and reasonable and is in the best
interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

The Independent Director, who has been so advised by W.H. Ireland, also
considers the terms of the Subscription are fair and reasonable in so far as the
Shareholders as a whole are concerned and accordingly recommends that
Shareholders vote in favour of all of the Resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.
In giving its advice, W.H. Ireland has taken into account the Independent
Director's commercial assessments.

All definitions in this announcement bear the same meaning as those set out in

96k buy at 0.56p..these will fly imo once the spread narrows!

[chancer6] 20/12/2007 13:56

Think real spread now is 0.40-0.55p....L2 still 3 v 3...with only 3 million shares in free float...seems to be moving up on each buy.
