I agree that for many years this had underperformed and it felt like a number of directors had been paid handsomely without generating returns for investors.

Andrew Blayze became chairman and bought a significant stake and put in a new CEO and since then we have seen a far better return. Not sure that the 13 years wait has served me that well overall but at least the big premium has made the exit door look attractive.

This notice of holding mentions 1P shares, earlier in the year there was a reorganisation of capital to enable a fund raise when nominal value changed from 5p

Universe (UNG.L), a leading developer and supplier of payment and on-line loyalty systems, was notified on 11 January 2013 that, on the same day, the Company's directors purchased a total of 527,955 ordinary shares of the Company of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 3.75p per Ordinary Share.

I suspect investors probably don't realise that the notification is because Harwood has taken control of Gresham House Strategic from Gresham House. There is still a requisition in place to wind up GHS, at which point Harwood will be forced sellers of the 17% stake if it is approved.

Chairman, Andrew Blayze, ups his holding to 23.1m shares from just 300k previously:



Seems a big vote of confidence in the new CEO & CFO.

Seller was Celtech founder, who was always going to move on at some point.

Just to let shareholders and potential investors in Universe Group know that the management team will be exhibiting and presenting at the two day Mello London investor conference in Chiswick London W4 on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th November and there will be an opportunity to take part in a Q&A at the end of each presentation. These are just a few of the companies taking part...



There will also be lots of quality keynote speakers, panel sessions and round table discussions looking at investment strategies & portfolio diversification plus sessions on.... How does a market maker work your share trades? What is undertaken in a company audit? What is hidden on the dark web? & how can retail investors get access to placings?

With my large shareholding here and my Mello hat on I often arrange meetings with the management of many companies throughout the year but especially on release of results. I unfortunately missed the Agm presentation so this was my catch up but certainly happy that five others could make it. I am hoping to have Universe Group do an interim presentation in late September when the H1 results are released. The new acquisition certainly looks a good fit.

A brief presentation containing no inside information will be provided to shareholders. This presentation will be uploaded to the Company's website at www.universe-group.com/investor-relations.

Looking at their results, I noticed something fishy about their gross margin. In their annual report in 2016, it states gross margin of 35%, rather than the 48% (if you do the calculations). Readers should double check and find the reasons for this.

My other two big concerns are capitalising costs and goodwill, it has a total combined value of £18m.
The risk of impairment looks to be increasing because profits are declining, although this is subject to management discretion.
Given today's underperformance, I was surprised brokers were previously forecasting the shares to double in the next 12 months! A revision to the future forecast is needed.

Overall, I’m pessimistic about the Universe Group and recommend investors to don’t buy until they do further due diligence as the risks are on the high side that something could go wrong. It is one of those stocks that requires monitoring.

I am not taking it personally but the same mentality will apply. If the majority of investors and nearly ALL fund managers want London meetings that is what they will be served up !

I said the meeting was Central London not South of the Thames ?

Companies do presentations in the City because that is where 90% of fund managers are based so please do not blame me. I merely ensure that PIs get equal access and essentially because I have a holding and can request a meeting within their roadshow diary.

If you want a meeting in a different location why not set one up and see if others want to join you ? ShareSoc hold meetings for investors all over the country so certainly as a director I cannot be accused of London bias. My big Mello events were in Derby and Peterborough but 70% of the attendees came from within 50 miles of London

Too far South for me David. Perhaps companies might just realise one day that not all their investors reside south of the Thames...
