OK thanks for correcting me. Every day a school day

How would there not be dilution on a secondary listing? Surely the company would have to allocate shares to the US exchange in order to raise capital. Those won't be the same shares traded on the London exchange

That's probably down to ep and f not recognising goodwill in their valuation. Same auditor for both companies. In one they recognise goodwill, in the other they don't. Any auditors on here that can explain why?

OK noted Rocka. That means they value the company at 199k. Ouch.

Something to do with the CLNs perhaps

4k you do raise a good point re ep&f valuation of mediazest shares. Looking back through the accounts the first mention of this is in the 2016 accounts value 8.5k (although 2016 refers to a 2015 valuation of 13.5k). Since then its been up or down a few k each year. Do ep&c undertake their own valuation or would they be happy to take the nav of mediazest annual accounts and multiply by their interest? It strikes me they probably only have a negligible holding that has always been worth bugger all when considering the valuation in 15,16 etc. Still can't nail it down though

Doesnt sound like footfall has picked up in all of the London sites but other areas are doing better than 2019. Talk of 2 new restaurants. I like this company.

Apologies nonegspleeze. That was not the article I intended to link up. Something more up to date. Exactly what I would expect them to be doing, focus on opportunities that the pandemic has brought about. The company really is low key on social media. Not a post on twitter since March 2020!

I think you've got one too many zeros in there Toli

Hi Nonegspleeze. Also dipped my toe in here. I havent eaten in one of the comptoir restaurants but I do like the look of the one at London Bridge, good atmosphere, welcoming for families. It feels like the pizza express or zizi of Lebanese food, good for the middle class aspirational type but not sure the real foodies would visit. I see lots of potential, we dont have a lot of leonese restaurants in london, growth could be phenomenal. Street food is a big scene in london so hats off to the guys for rolling out the pop up stalls in tandem. The balance sheet looks great, no debt whatsoever.

The second sentence gives me some doubt we will see the accounts today iceman

where are they

Those accounts look OK to me. Hit on revenue due to the virus as we were expecting. Costs appear to be managed well (landlord negotiations on leases, reduced director salaries). I wonder how much of prior year revenue the now closed sites at the airports contributed. Fairly sizeable impairment contributed to the loss before tax. Possibly would have seen a profit this year if not for the virus. I like this company, the management team appear competent and up to the task of growing the group. The balance sheet is as good as it gets, no debt.

DG. Do you need to wait for month end to run the website analytic you shared which showed eve UK vs eve France website activity? My guess is nothing much to shout about in France or they would have taken the opportunity to do so today.

I keep making that error - ta sheepynerd

Not sure what to make of that rns. The usual deadline is 6m after the end of the AP (30 june). It doesn't look like we wre taking advantage of the extension. Why rns that?

I think they usually delay reporting large trades to keep an orderly market

137k trade is close to 2 + 1/4% of the entire share capital. Not surprised with the dip.
