It looks like 2-3 months for the decision from all that I've read.
Whilst this is good news there is still the question as to whether or not they can keep the lights on without a placing until the decision is granted.
Just tried to add. No volume, everyone must be waiting for the appeal.
Down a lot, albeit on a handful of small trades, although I am sure the doomsday mangers would have us think otherwise.
Miles expects both the agricultural produce side and timer to be cash generative and growing within six months. The focus is on growing both but especially timber.
2. Non core businesses such as South African retail are very much non core.
3. The recent senior management hires are working out well.
4. Miles will not issue stock in Obtala PLC at current levels as he regards that as dilutive. But he can sell stakes in SPVs at prices that reflect fair value not just what an AIM market maker things is a correct share price. And he is doing that to grow the forestry side rapidly. There is a real institutional appetite for such high yield asset backed SPVs.
5 Miles would expect to be able to demonstrate to investors a clear visibility of repeat reliable revenues and cashflows within a few months. The modelling of that is well underway.
Ends.
Our take on this is that group NAV is easily in excess of 20p per share but quite possibly in excess of 30p. And there will be no placings for the PLC coming your way. The historic non delivery of Obtala and the lack of repeatable and visible free cashflows and profits mean that the shares will trade at a big discount but, at 8.75p-9.5p the discount is just far too large.
Pelham is a quality act with a proven track record in finance. He will scale up this business. He has a material equity interest – bought with his own cash – and as he delivers on point 5 above this stock will be re-rated big time. We expect a material re-rate before Christmas.
Was that a reference to me?
I only think it is fair for everyone to declare their interests and then their comments can be interpreted accordingly.
I am a small holder and therefore my comments are more likely to be favourable.
Ramping is a different matter all together and not one that I have seen evidenced on here since the brief flurry into double digits following the approval earlier in the year.
