I also tend to stick to stocks I know, or at least markets I have some knowledge of, and I do have some knowledge of the F&B sector, but this company requires a great deal of research, which I am not even close to finishing. Are you any closer to a strategy for PURE? ATB

profit for FY2010 below FY09 levels, which was £11.2 million, so basically the valuation of this company is based on expected future growth, which for this year has not been achieved, in terms of financials, although many important milestones have been achieved, and the future does still look very bright for this company. I personally believe the SP will recover significantly at some stage, but it may not be until the results in September, and who knows from what level??? Something to be conscious of is the fact that currently the market cap is on a PE of 28, assuming a profit for this year of £10mill, so the results will have to have some extremely positive forward looking statements to justify even the current SP, I will watch and wait for the time being, but I fully expect to invest when the time is right, and I might try and catch the bottom for a quick daytrade, could be risky though. Good news again today, any holders looking to to-up here, and if so what price are you hoping for??

CAN still buy, not van still buy, that sounds like some Dutch millionaire :)

maximum sell size on lloyds just jumped from previously mentioned 150 shares to 25,000 shares!!!!! Van still buy 50,000 below the ask, but that surely bodes well for tomorrow!

hadn't come accross this company before, but saw they were down heavily yesterday so started researching today. Seems like the decreased profit statement has shocked the market, and everything else in the interim management statement has been ignored, such as the fact that they have maintained revenue levels despite losing the customer who provided 60% of their 2009 revenue, they have new JV's, EFSA approval (not an easy thing to achieve), doubled production, strong balance sheet, global infrastrucuture, major new global customer account gains, and so many other positives. Then there is the expected newsflow, with further progress expected with their leaf strategy in the near future, strong developments for their industry trademark expected in the near future, and full EU clearance anticipated, which should fully open the European market to PURE. On the other hand the SP has taken a beating, and until we know how much profit they did make last year I dont expect to see any great rebound, and at the moment the maximum sell on Lloyds online is down from 1500 shares a few minutes ago, to 150 shares on the bid @ 185p!!!!! I can currently buy up to 50,000 shares at 187.25p, so well above the ask which just dropped to 190p. Looks to me like a large sell order being filled, which means I have time to research this properly tonight, and try to decide on a timely entry point! Feel sorry for those who have been holding and had to watch this drop, but I do think from current levels this could be a very good long-term investment. ATB

well done to those who got in quick or who were already in, was looking at it yesterday but didn't do enough research to have a buy, obviously regretting it now! Just a word of warning to those wanting to buy, I can currently only sell 1500 on a dummy sell on Lloyds, but can buy up to 150,000 shares below the ask at 9.7p, so might be worth watching for a while, GLA

trip was great thanks mate, taken a while to adjust back but luckily the sun is nice and hot which definately helps! I see I haven't missed much, and I have to say I believe there is a double-dip coming, and therefore I am looking at how I can withdraw some of my capital, and possibly put a long on gold for a while, but also looking at experimenting with some FX trading. As for IHP, my research has been delayed a bit by other commitments, but still on watchlist and "to do" list! I note your point about low volume, and I imagine it wouldn't take a huge increase in volume to see this movely forward, hence why I dont want to leave it too long! O/T - you might like to check out ADH when you have some time, SP been hugely depressed by fund-raising last year, and loss making through the recession, but they are now trading profitably and launching in Shanghai next month, with impressive growth in other Asian regions already. I know you will DYOR :) Have a good weekend mate!

hmmm, just above breakeven for me, that 1500 I bought last week didn't really help! :) lol it seems the BoD have chosen to realise the value of their shareholdings, as opposed to holding out for a significant premium on the current SP to reward the long-term PI's and other shareholders. Never mind, onwards and upwards!!! Steamer - you got any cheap stocks you are looking at? I'm currently researching MCR, IHP, INVO, INDY, all have very low market cap and potential for re-rating, also watching SEE, IGE, PIM, BPC, SOLO, and many others. Recently bought ADH at a bargain (IMO) price of 0.38p, also worth a look if you time! ATB mate

Yeah I'm fine mate, getting back into the swing of things after a few months in Gambia! I have to agree with you about the current valuation being unfair, although they say there is always a reason for a valuation, and I suppose here it is the debt and cashflow situation (which seem to be under control) that have left the SP so low. I suppose my concern here is that they have achieved £2m sales in the last year, thanks in part to a recovery of sales in the 2nd half of the year, they have restructured their liabilities by way of the company voluntary arrangement (CVA), which will give them 5 years to pay off £400k of the c.£1mill debt. They have brought in new directors and they believe after the CVA the company should be able to trade profitably....Despite all this good news the SP has continued to drop before today! Maybe it has just taken the wider market a while to make its mind up about IHP, and today is the start of a re-valuation in the build up to the final results, but I am cautious because the trading statement last week - although positive IMO - failed to attract much attention. If the Final Results provide more peace of mind to potential investors, or even better they contain details of a deal with one of the several multi-nationals, then there should be nothing to worry about and anyone it at these levels should make good profit, but if the results offer little additional information, and the contract negotiations take longer than expected to materialise, then maybe I will be able to buy at a similar level in a few months time. Would appreciate your thoughts on this as you know far more about the company than me. I suppose my point is not whether it is a good long-term investment or not, but whether the spread combined with a lack of positive newsflow may mean it is a better long-term investment a few months from now. Will definately be looking out for an RNS saying Denton increased holding though! Have already had a quick look at INVO, need to do some more research as it does look like another interesting one. Also need to do some serious research into INDY, another micro-cap with a few strings to its bow! ATB mate

missed that tick up!

Alright mate how you doing? Like the look of this company, seems they may have turned a corner..... Wont be buying yet but watching with interest. Spread closed with bid rising as opposed to ask dropping, looking more positive. Any links to significant shareholders list? Had a quick look but no luck! O/T but you may wish to have a look at MCR, I haven't bought yet but they have some interesting assetts, and could move similar to GRL which I missed out on. ATB

They are missing out! :)

a 16.1% gain for the day, not bad at all really! Lets hope for more of the same tomorrow! :)

brilliant to watch, I remember when I was first in and it was rising on every trade, seems to be back to the good old days :) Just mentioned VERO on PXS BB, but if anyone wants to make good profit on these they will have to be quick! Mid-price of 20p by end of week? :) nice thought, and would be a great base for next week, we will see!

alright mate, looking good today, 40k of buys against a 3500 share sale, has ticked up again, now 16/17.5p max buy 1500 at full ask, max sell 50k at 16.35p, says it all about the direction this is going IMO! ATB

very true! The Board sounds cautiously optimistic for the long-term future of the business, but much more positive about the possibility of an offer or something equally worthy of an announcement in the next 2 weeks. max buy just went up to 1500 so I grabbed them, see if I can make enough for a few pints next week :) limited to 1000 buy again before close, might be interesting tomorrow, ATB

£0.6m pre-tax profit, overall tax credit of £132,000 Post tax profit after exceptionals was £0.74m Cash balances at the year end were £2.3m (2008: £1.6m), with £1.5m of short-term borrowings (2008: £1.5m), resulting in net funds of £0.87m (2008: £0.09m) Net debt reduced to £2.2m from £2.9m. The Company completed a refinancing of its UK loans in December 2009 with an advance of £2m from the Capital for Enterprise Fund. These funds were used to repay the Group's outstanding balances with Fortis Bank and restore working capital levels to pre-recession levels. Product development expenditure of £1,303,000 (2008: £1,008,000) Market cap £5.78m Statistics are not bad, going on post-tax profit of £0.74m, P/E ratio of 10 = market cap of £7.4m, or 19.86p per share. Can we expect an offer greater than 10x profit?

can still sell 50k max @ 14.85p, but still only 1000 shares buy on Lloyds online, at fulll ask 16.5p! If the spread was smaller I would probably buy 1000, would need 20p for breakeven though! Suprised it hasn't had more attention today but I still expect it to come onto more radar's this week and next IMO. Yesterday only one 15,000 buy, and 27,000 of sells on plus, so either MM's have buy orders lined up or they are just being very tight in anticipation of buying volume picking up, either way bodes well for us holders. You already secured your desired holding, or looking to top-up? ATB
