Market cap too cheap have just bought 5,000.

Usual lacklustre and mere facts style of announcement. But there are one liners such as sales for the 1st quarter being well ahead which could foreshadow much better times. All in all it still looks a very asset rich, cash generating business with lots of room for margin improvement that a stronger management team could make more of. The only investments they seem capable of making is in property and solar cells.

Blimey, they have exceeded expectations for the first time in years !!!

Better than expected:- Outlook The year has started positively both in own brands and licensed product. Our new range of products for 2014 have been well received at the various trade and road shows attended in January. Although extremely wet in some parts of the UK, the weather has generally been milder and there are more encouraging signs emerging from the macro economy. The breadth of new licences agreed for 2014 and beyond in our sports, leisure & toys business demonstrates our continuing commitment to provide a platform for growth. In our bicycles business, a number of new product developments, for example our 'Academy' range of premium junior cycles, will support us in taking market share in a mature leisure cycling market. Group revenue for the first quarter was well ahead of the corresponding period in the prior year. Although we were required to record a significant foreign currency fair value adjustment at 31 December 2013 this will unwind as foreign currency contracts mature which should enhance 2014 profitability although we continue to remain conscious of the impact of fluctuations in the US dollar.

Rose tinted specs on amt ???? This Company needs a massive shake-up.

[amt] 06/2/2014 22:18

Very good second half if you exclude exceptionals. So for new year a profit of somewhere between 1. To 2 m on the cards.

[horndean eagle] 06/2/2014 18:18

Quite shocking how poor the company is performing. Benefiting from 300k a year windfall from buying their own building and they can still barely report higher pre exceptional profits than last year.

[wapper] 06/2/2014 13:03

Oh dear....just keeps getting worse.

[castleford tiger] 06/2/2014 12:43

Todays trading statement. Operating profit for the year was marginally ahead of last year. However, due to the impact of exceptional restructuring costs, pension scheme finance charges and adverse foreign exchange variances in respect of currency contracts held for future purchases, profit before taxation was substantially behind. The year end currency contracts fair value adjustment referred to above was approximately GBP0.5 million. This adjustment will gradually reverse as contracts mature. HOW ON EARTH can you blow 500k on currency contracts when the pound STG is getting stronger. UNLESS Peppa the pig was buying USD against the pound. Either way with over a million before they start taking silly excp items and valued at 3.5 million makes it look far too cheap. tiger

I think if targets hadn't been met we would have had an announcement so they must have made at least half million profit in second half. If they can continue on that trend then pe is less than 4.

[graham1ty] 21/1/2014 15:25

Does someone know something we do not ? 15,000 at 78p, 5000 at 80p, 2000 at 84.95p......I am coming over all dizzy

[dashton42] 18/1/2014 15:26

Weird. Will be keeping my eye on this one...

[graham1ty] 17/1/2014 12:45

Should not complain....but a trade at 78p seems someone paid over the odds. Has this been tipped somewhere ?

Hi, Ive been watching these for years. Whilst the BOD remain in charge, any money invested in TND is money down the drain. BOD will happily continue to milk the company, at the expense of shareholders. Until there is a radical change in management, its not worth investing here. All IMO. ps I dont hold any shares (sold out for a small profit when GG sold out).

[mrshaungcm] 15/1/2014 21:22

ps - must be nearly time for a small flutter here

[mrshaungcm] 15/1/2014 21:21

new Dawes range (2014) has had prices tweaked upwards i understand - this should be absorbed by dealers without loss of units sales - providing the market stays at least static new upmarket kids range should offer competition to isla bikes and "frog" - a new market place for them hopefully a better yr ahead for the group

[dashton42] 15/1/2014 13:22

I've been casting an eye over tnd, after it came up in a screen. On the face of it, it looks like a company experiencing severe problems judging by the recent share price performance, but on the other, it seems to have some (potentially) valuable and well known brands. I know it's probably in a tricky sector at a tricky time, but is there any room for future optimism here - perhaps through the actions of activist shareholders, or through any radical actions planned by the bod? Or even potential m&a activity? Any thoughts welcome, and of course I'll also dmor!

[mrshaungcm] 09/1/2014 20:14

3yr chart shows £1.50 high - now 50% down not bad in aim terms

[mrshaungcm] 09/1/2014 20:12
