£10m debt, £6 market cap, £35m t/o.....no idea how old the forecasts are, but range between £1m and £3m profit this and next year. 10% margin potential does not seem unreasonable, making market cap look silly. If they can take the measures they allude to, to keep the banks happy and maybe pay down some of the debt, then while not for widows and orphans, this could be over a quid in a year's time (or bust), not sure there is an in between! IMO

is this donkey worth a small punt?

Here comes the rise!

Classic Aim manoeuvre if so: float the shares, trash the share price, and buy the company back a couple of years later for a fraction of what you sold it for.

It's what WTL are doing right now.

Buy what - the Company?

[aliandamanda] 19/7/2007 09:31

Rumours of directors about to buy...interesting!

company cant afford to pay the half penny they promised, maybe the banks said "nooooooo"

Sad to see that this was picked at 115.5p as 'one of seven shares worth pursuing' in an IC article on 9 June describing their 'contrarian' stock screen. Most of the other picks are well down too, of course. The fact is that the market is usually right. You have to be good - better than the IC, at least - to be a successful contrarian.

Sounds very bad, I'm afraid.

[martinc] 12/7/2007 15:23

Does make it sounds as though they're going bust...

[diogenesj] 03/7/2007 16:03

Well, that's a reason, I suppose. Don't hold either (sold on the first profit warning) but have been keeping an eye on these in case there might be a reason to buy back after the heavy fall.

[diogenesj] 03/7/2007 10:13

It will either go up or down, A, so there is a 50% chance that you are at least partly right. Statements about the future unsupported by reasoning, although typical of ADVFN, are really rather vacuous. Is it the tealeaves, or are you trying to read your own palm through your share certificate?

Small change for him, if it's this Mr Fink (salary given as £6.7m pa):

[diogenesj] 28/6/2007 12:38

Probably to do with a share purchase by a Mr Stanley Fink, who averaged down yesterday, buying another 288k shares, and now holds 1.08m shares or 5.25%.

[latifs100] 28/6/2007 12:21

up 40%..any ideas why?... rns??

At present the jury is out on the fundementals about this business. Because the Board and the FD have failed nobody knows whether there is a good business here because you cannot rely on the numbers.

As to why a PE bidder pulled out we only have the company's word for it that they failed to meet value expectations - maybe the due diligence pointed to problems which have subsequently surfaced.

IMHO new FD, Chairman and NEDs required PDQ if this is to have some value for shareholders.
