The other point worth making about the annual results, is that the figures are most likely to be available now, albeit in a draft format, the full report with comments from board members is what will take time to pull together. So it's entirely possible JC, HP and the due diligence team will have seen the financials from FY26 already

Well I’m this side of the border and I won’t be agreeing to 10.44 either

I’m assuming July ITT because they’ve released them in the same week of July for the last 3 years

Of course, maybe Heather will do a bit of overtime and get them out a few days earlier this year

Well it seems we're agreed the release of the FY26 figures is significant ITT, I guess only time will tell if we're right and what effect, if any, they have on the 10.44p

Whilst I acknowledge the wait is tedious, I don't think another extension does us any harm. In the last few years, the final results have been published on or around 23rd July. I'm hopeful that £20 mill turnover leads to an improvement in the overall figures, maybe not a profit but hopefully smaller losses. A new set of figures either way should in theory lead to a revaluation of the company. So maybe just maybe this is what JC is holding out for.

My understanding is that Doxa and Axia are one and the same and The Consultants Co Ltd is John Stamp and Associates not the Tylers

I hope so ITT assuming of course that they're an improvement on the previous year. Last three years the results have been announced between 23-26 July. Surely the company gets revalued at that point

I think you're right ITT, even ES have to declare once above 1% so it's not them buying or they aren't following the rules

So PM have now sold 9.5 million shares, 2.64% of the business, share price hasn't moved suggesting someone has bought them, but still no Form 8.3 ? I don't believe these are being bought on open market by multiple buyers, someone isn't following the rules

Surprise surprise

So we now know that Premier Miton have sold exactly 6 million shares in the last 7 weeks and certainly is the last couple of weeks when the selling has speeded up the SP has hardly moved which suggests the 6 million shares have been bought by someone else and, in my opinion, most likely one buyer rather than several, so why hasn't there been a Form 8.3 from the buyer ??? Even if the buyer was an existing shareholder who had already declared their above 1% ownership, they would have to report ANY changes, but my guess is that it's a new buyer who has now breached the 1% but wants to stay under the radar for the time being and annoyingly, it seems they are being allowed to

I know the shares haven't been suspended but the SP is acting as if they have. And why haven't we seen a Form 8.3 to explain who was buying all those shares last week, I thought there were rules for declaring such things

It's clear someone wants your shares, just done some dummy sells and could have sold a lot, i.e. a very lot, more than I've ever been able to before

Well said Vas, no excuses for their failure to keep us informed on business progress or otherwise. Surely with just a week to go, even CC could provide a fairly accurate full year forecast

What concerns me about the situation we find ourselves in currently is that it's unlikely the company is performing to its optimum. Staff will be wondering who they'll be working for in future, customers may well be holding back on issuing new contracts. Uncertainty isn't good for any business and the longer it goes on, the more damaging it becomes. But maybe that's all part of the plan

The fact it was announced at 7am rather than later in the day is irrelevant. The point I was making was that there was a deadline on or around 17th Feb for everyone above 1% to declare their holdings, why did Mr Stamp get an extra 2 weeks ? Had he forgotten that he owned 5.8% of the business ?

Why hadn’t the 5.8% been declared earlier ?

That was a form 8.5

Good point sandgrounded
