WARSHIP BROCKLESBY Military ops - approaching Belfast you never know.

I understand BP but I have to say if I had a spare £5k I would be topping up today sadly I have not.Regards to all.

TheEast - Great post & I also fear for my investment today but still have hope & currently I believe we are not yet back in the 'Last Chance Saloon' .

BP - There are no accounts that cannot be signed provided the basis of the signing is made clear i.e. not being given a clean bill of health which moves us onto 'Going Concern Qualifications' etc etc.What also concerns me is that H&W have not made clear why there has been a delay although this was touched on by Arun at the Appledore open day i.e. Audit logistic problems caused by covid etc.It is the naivety of senior management that has allowed this situation to occur & created a SP open goal that concerns me more than the results.My experiences were is 'Offshore' & print finishing' with owners in USA & Canada/Switzerland.
PS For what it is worth as I have indicated above I would 'Hold' the show is not over yet.

Hebridean9 - Having read your post this morning I just hope we are not heading towards a car crash.I am disappointed to see a further drop in the SP today I thought yesterday was bad enough.As a retired accountant I am frustrated that H&W have not been able to have signed accounts this month.I have worked for companies where I had to meet very tight year end deadlines sometimes in difficult circumstances & reporting into Canada & Switzerland.For H&W to be in this position is a disgrace & I wonder if it is deliberate as they wait in hope of announcing a new contract.

Hi Pokerchips - With time it is possible to dig deeper into the figures & having looked at two reviews I received by e-mail this afternoon it is clear that they have indeed needed to be cautious with their Saipem contract because of the delays in production due to the steel not being at first fit for purpose.Working on the basis of no sales booked up to 31st December 2021 for the Saipem contract & based on the contract value being £25.6 m then their sales for new work amounts to at best £50m for the current year.Either way there may be hidden profit in these figures because of the Saipem contract completion delay.Lets hope so.

Inventories - Current Year End 1,176,641 331,465 Prior Year End

The above is shown on the balance sheet & will include WIP.

Hi All - Some good positive posts this week good to see.Moving on I was just wondering when we can expect the issuing of the H&W Report & Accounts due this month which leaves just next week & a couple of days the week after.I am guessing the end of next week at worse an update on the 31st May saying further delay expect June.Just curious as to peoples thoughts. Apologies for what may seem a trivial thought but just for fun.

Hi Lottie123 - Thank you for the time you took out for the visit & the time taken to write your thoughts on your visit.
I found you comments reassuring & confirmed what I was trying to convey in an earlier post that there is work going on at all the sites & which hopefully covers overheads at least.In addition you concluded that based on your visit you would be prepared to invest further.You certainly have cheered me up as the current SP is very challenging.Thanks again.

Edit: Clearly enough going on to entertain rather a large group.

Si_Derman - I think your post hits it on the nail in saying 'If they can't get a maintenance contract' etc & not having 'the up-to-date infrastructure'.H&W have not had any MOD work yet of any size & I believe they are not ready yet.
Once again I would add it is very frustrating & I can only see a further decline in the SP as we wait for some positive news.

Edit: Bodes well for the future.

Hi stokey12 - I agree with your comments the circa £18m reflects last years activity which would have been depressed due to the slow start to the Saipem contract as you have just posted.The following extract from the recent RNS clearly indicates it relates to last year - 'As previously announced the Company expects revenue to be between £18 million and £20 million for FY 21.' Based on the activity we have seen this year & now seeing the likely turnover will much exceed the £18m.
Lastly I expect that one of the issues that was holding up the audit was valuing WIP across all sites complicated by the Saipem delays furthermore it looks to me that the accounts this month will be the full printed accounts in colour etc which takes a while to put together.Either way after this week we have a further 2 weeks in which we will know the final results but just hope they do not take it to the wire again i.e. 31st May.

The JR is a legal matter & any concessions by DAERA would result in a JR taken out by H&W against DAERA & lead to another case in the High Court.What works for one side of the argument must also work for the other.With regards storage of Hydrogen it would require seeking another license but not an impossible path to take.The SP today is dire but all is not lost.Once again the shares being on AIM are being hit by lack of news & I would guess that many if they ever get to break even will be getting out but I will be holding to next year.

I have been following the comments on this board this last week or two some positive some negative.However trying to post a positive note I would say that based on the various LinkedIn posts there is clearly activity at all four sites.The question is is it enough to cover all overheads & give rise to a positive cash flow.With regards IM well that is in the hands of the 'Gods' & we currently need to discount any future benefits for now.
Conclusion : We are all annoyed by what we see as the lack of positive news in terms of new contracts of value but maybe things are not as bad as some people think.For me I have no choice but to hang on & hope the SP will improve by the end of Qtr 2. & hope H&W are at least creating a positive cash flow for now.

Agree stokey12 & based on last update we can expect results this week & only 3 days left.
