Just thinking we are two years on from the















































Just thinking we are two years down the line from the Jan 13 300k profit,Unless that was a mistake in the acquisition statement

[castleford tiger] 13/2/2015 08:29

Look how the assets had risen at the time we bought them. That must be profit.
I guess they can add 500 k to bottom line.

They made £300k in the year ending JAN13,will look to see if I can find last years profit.Also tempted to add

[castleford tiger] 12/2/2015 09:36

No I have no information about it other than what they said.

It must of added a bit to bottom line?

How do you see the results?

Castleford...Do you have any knowledge about the new business they bought six months ago ? Tandem did a trading statement on the 6th February last year...nothing so far this year and the year end is 31st December so if they are significantly ahead we should be hearing about it.

[castleford tiger] 12/2/2015 08:17

yes shows as a sell.
Looking for another 50k but only got 5 k yesterday.

More than offset by the fall in raw material costs. Fall in energy costs may help a little also unless the cyclists go back to using cars.

dollar strength going to hurt like hell here.

[graham1ty] 22/10/2014 15:31

Mr S. Good spot. They obviously have no one capable at the moment....but we sorta knew that......

think you are close

high end is flooded with many "niche" brands which are quickly heavily discounted giving a low average gross margin over their year life span

much of the Tandem product has good margin longevity and often does not need discounting to "move it on"

[21trader] 22/9/2014 08:40

So if the boom is in the high end cycling then sell high end cycles do not stand
and watch everybody else do it !

[18bt] 22/9/2014 08:39

What that demostrates is that they are focussed on the wrong bit of the market, which is a huge management failing!

In The Guardian, Jim Shears, Tandem's finance director, is reported to have said: "In recent years you've seen the London Olympics effect and the Tour de France and there are a lot more high-end cyclists about. People are interested in cycling but it's not correct to say cycling is booming in the UK. In our part of the market, which is mainly mums and dads going out for a ride with the family, we haven't seen the same effect. There's not a massive uplift in cycling across the country."

[mrshaungcm] 21/9/2014 21:19

they will benefit from it in a small way - they do sell nation wide believe it or not

any helpful comments as a shareholder hoping to enhance their holding?

[poco a poco] 21/9/2014 20:07

Birmingham Invests £24m into cycling.

Erm - Where is head office again ?

If the BoD can't benefit from this, even indirectly, they may as well lock the doors and go home.

Are you suggesting Tandem do not have anything that HNWs would want to buy


On that note - i suggest you do some research and visit a few larger IBD'S

[poley] 21/9/2014 05:01

Interesting company. Dawes still a really strong brand for touring bikes, especially in the UK.
My only concern is the 3.8 mill net debt with no broker forecasts on a market cap of 6 million, combined with the pension deficit and somewhat downbeat outlook.
I'm not that up on pension deficits.

Hope to get some feedback on that.

[davidosh] 20/9/2014 23:28

I certainly do know what they sell and to be totally fair you should have copied the whole phrase as I mentioned the new company.

With 1200 high net worth investors and fund managers in the room they may even be able to shift some product too... the new acquisition is probably perfect for promotional activity.
