I agree Philpot, I would prefer to see the surplus re-invested. However, if it were to be returned to shareholders, I would rather it were done as a share buyback, which would increase the SP and possibly take out the persistent seller.

It wouldn't surprise me to see another sizeable delayed Buy trade from the 21st. There were a few larger Sells @ 13.5p during the day, yet the SP rose. Someone accumulating?

Thanks Total, I am also using Safari on iPad.

Messages posted here last week, and maybe ealier, keep disappearing and re-appearing. Not sure if this is a problem with my device or with the LSE site. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Odd to see the SP increase today despite some relatively large sells. I wonder if someone is accumulating shares here. The 500k shares trade recently seemed to me to be a Buy.

As far as I can see, shareholders in AIM companies incorporated outside the UK, but within the European Economic Area, should notify at 5%, 10%, 15% etc, within 4 days. Dekeloil seems to fit this, and Biopalm had over 10%, so should have notified, unless I am missing something. Dekeloil's website lists those who have notified and are above 3% in March. It seems to me that this is important information that should be available to other shareholders. Not sure what, if anything, can be done to enforce it though.

Fantastic production figures, far exceeding my expectations, and excellent selling prices achieved as well. The only slight negative is the build up of stock, which will be sold at a lower price. This, on top of the newspaper coverage at the weekend, should see the SP rocket this morning.

Thanks Rivaldo. Its a pity they got the Sales figure wrong, but it is good timing to give DKL some publicity just before the Q1 production figures.

Does anyone know when the full year results for 2016 are expected?

Agreed H&N, however when they have given timescales in an RNS, I would expect them to notify if there is any significant change to them. You say they are working on them, but how do you know that with, say, Ghana. If you have any specific information to support that, I would be grateful if you would let me know. It is important to the company valuation to know where we stand on such strategic activities. Maybe this is why the SP has stagnated for so long.

FK1 - I agree with you about the need to fill the news vacuum. Whilst I don't want to see endless RNSs about nothing much, it would be good to get an update occassionally about strategic matters, such as RSPO accreditation and plans for future development (Guitry/Ghana). RSPO accreditation was expected at end 2016 or very eatly 2017, but we have heard nothing since. It is well over a year since due dilgence was started at Ghana, with a timeframe put on the DD of up to 12 months. I appreciate that many things can happen to affect timescales, but it would be nice to have an update from time to time to keep investors informed and interested.

My guess for Q1 production is 13,500 (based on 3,000 Jan; 4,500 Feb; 6,000 Mar). Q1 last year was exceptional, and I expect a more normal result this year. Having said that, I hope to see figures somewhat higher that would indicate steps being taken to increase production to nearer the mill's capacity and would be very happy with anything over 15,000. I don't expect that there will be much held in stock as prices have been declining from the very high prices earlier this year, so reported sales volumes may be higher than last year's Q1. Coupled with the high CPO prices, we should see record Q1 sales.

FK1 - looks like LSE haven't moved the clocks forward.

Followed by another £11k sell, oddly enough at a slightly higher price despite no reported buys in the intervening period. I would have thought that this could be someone flipping between a trading account and an ISA account perhaps, were it not for the time delay and the slightly different quantities.

Another late reported sale today, of 100k shares. Again no effect on SP. There seem to have been quite a few of these larger Sell trades recently, that haven't affected the SP. Maybe a larger order being filled or MMs taking a position before the Q1 production figures?

HL now showing a late reported sale of 150,000 shares from earlier this morning. Didn't seem to have any effect on the SP though.

Also we have bought an "empty fruit press" which should add €500k to profits this year.

Hi Rugs, I'm afraid I don't hold quite so many shares as that, I'm only a poor retired accountant.

Lets see if this can kick start the SP.

Great set of results for the full year, big increase in the dividend and lots of cash on the balance sheet. Not surprised to see the SP rise today.
