Interesting share stake disclosed in this one.

Reading between the lines of today's rns things sound VERY bad. The fact that they have to state still cash positive imolies to me that they have burnt though a lot of the £2.4 million advised by Refs as being on the 07 balance sheet.



e&oe. DYOR etc. any other views or comments.

Market cap very close to pension deficit - Yet another company working for the benefit of the pensioneers.

At 31 December 2008, the net deficit on the defined benefit pension scheme had increased by £2.819m to £5.687m (2007: £2.868m), due mainly to the combined effect of a reduction in the value of the scheme's assets and an increase in the assumption relating to average life expectancy which increased the liabilities

Also very interesting that 6.495% of the shares have been traded today at 685p. Someone deciding out bail out ? Awaiting a RNS.

Another DB pension scheme closed...

Move to AIM announced today along with the final results.



The company seems to be making progress but warns there might be additional costs due to relocation and introduction of a new business system.

Might try and pick a few up if the AIM listing throws out a few sales.

kind regards

Out of these now. Forthcoming results are going to have to be pretty amazing to justify current price. They may well be, but I prefer to deal with historic "value" numbers rather hopeful guesswork with these sort of companies where there isn't a lot of newsflow.

JakNife, from your comment in August presumably you're out completely as well?

Jack

Price has increased by £3 (approx 50%) since results. I never did get chance to buy anymore (I was expecting a pull back after the initial excitement but it just kept on going up). I agree it's looking a bit pricey at the moment; a lot of expected growth this year is in the price, but the question is how much? Based on 48p for H2 2003, they should do 100p eps for 2004, but I can't make a case for anymore than that at the moment. Its initial attraction was as a value stock; as more of a 'growth' stock I'd want more information to go on than you ususlly get with this sort of company.

Having said all that I'm still holding for the moment. Generally I am keenly looking forward to how the market reacts to the approaching reporting season. If it starts off badly I may rethink; Slingsby report the end of September

What are the 'major shareholdings' in this one?

[valhamos] 23/4/2004 23:01

Agincourt - You're as loquacious as Freddy in post2 ! :)

JakNife - I know what you mean and it is also unusual in a family run business but there seems to be some reality behind it. For instance their web site is well designed and hasn't cost the earth to implement.

Impressive results considering weak 1st half. Good to see e-commerce continues to develop as well as the new Irish operation. I regret not topping up a few weeks ago and may still do so shortly. The share price seems to go for months without movement but if I had sold today I would have had over 30% gain after costs in little over one year - not bad for a stock many would consider too dull.

[valhamos] 08/9/2003 22:59

meaning = Lol in post no. 4 on LTS (results tomorrow by the way) thread ??

at any rate Freddy this is not one for the muppets :)
