Tad was a company which always looked more likely than not to fail. There was a small possibility that it would succeed and it was on that basis that people gambled on it over the last few years.

The outcome is sad, but not unexpected.

Shadu, the full facts surrounding the forced sale will never be known nor do the powers that be ever want them to be. The reality is, shareholders are the lowest form of amoebae when it comes to protection, value or indeed dishing out any spoils that may be left over however unlikely that would be anyway. The stock market over the years is littered with companies that have been prized out of the hands of shareholders where the only beneficiaries are usually directors or vultures who play to their strengths whilst all the excuses as to why a company failed are dished out like confetti and the value disappears into their hands.

Only time will tell here whether the new owners will make ago of it. Obviously, the reason why it was rescued in this way can only be because of the strength of the IP (certainly not the quality of the management), and if that is going to be big, the little ol' shareholder can feel very aggrieved, albeit totally powerless now anyway, should the millions spouted as the true value of the IP ever gets handed over in those numbers.

Tadpole had a history so clouded with failure, incompetence and disaster that it became, for me personally, compulsive viewing, with hopes and then hopes dashed on pretty much every occasion. Many friends, who I got to know purely through Tad, have lost significant sums of money and that is very sad and I feel for them, my losses peter into insignificance.

It is just such a shame that the regulators and legislators are not able to come up with more plausible and effective corporate governance guidelines that protect shareholders more. I'm not convinced that even with the current financial woes plaguing the markets, things will not change and the actions, decisions, management quality and activities of listed companies will be monitored, controlled and regulated more effectively.

End of sermon.

Probably my last ever post re Tadpole.

I am sure they can find outwho the directors are as if you put the company in google search it does come up. Its frightening that the tadpole could just be sold with nothing to the share holders.

Shadu The company failed to complete a fund raising and was insolvent. Administrators were appointed who sold the business and the assets to pay off the Company's debts. The RNS dated 08/08/08 states "There is no prospect of the Company's shareholders receiving a dividend from the
administration."
I'm afraid the shareholders have no rights or recourse in such situations.

That doesn't sound right to me.
Before a certain date there was taper relief so you could increase the cost against gains, but after a certain date taper relief was abolished anyway.

Also, you cannot use taper relief to increase a loss.
Also, as time goes on your loss in relative terms is depreciating anyway so why would you have to take a further hit over and above inflation. That just does not make sense.

Did you meet this tax expert down the pub ?

I was told by a tax expert....that you can claim 100% against ctg in the first year..it then goes onto a taper relief based on a percentage reduction each year thereafter....the longer you leave it, ie, interms of years, the less you get....the above list gives the official start dates.

Thanks. Carry my losses on a runing list so understand has to be on the HMRC neglible value list before loss eligible to be entered for CGT purposes.

I think you are allowed to claim the losses at your convenience up to a number of years back.
e.g If you had gains in 2010-11 you could claim the TAD loss in that year rather than declare TAD loss in 08-09 when you weren't liable for tax.
At any rate you will have to wait till they appear in the negligible value list from HMRC.
