[QPP] Quindell Portfolio, the leading supplier of software, consulting and outsourcing services within the insurance and telecoms sectors, announced a pre-close trading update on 15th January where management stated that it expects revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for FY2012 to be ahead of our expectations, at approximately £165m, £47m, and 1.29p, respectively. We upgrade our 2012 forecasts accordingly. In addition, a trading update on 21st February confirmed strong contract conversion and a 2013 sales pipeline in excess of £1 billion. Our stance remains buy. Trading Update Management expect that FY2012 revenues will be c.£165m, attributable to increasing levels of contract wins, pilot projects, and other sales. The adj. EBITDA margin will be strong at c.28%, as the group continues to focus on efficiency, while operating cash flow will beat expectations and the year-end net cash position will be c.£15m. The group also reaffirmed its working capital availability to support growth up to 3p EPS in 2013. Focus Now on Organic Growth The significant growth in 2012 was driven initially by the acquisition of earnings-enhancing companies that formed the foundations of Quindell’s extensive service offering, together with significant contracts wins for the combined group including the £40m pa contract announced in May 2012 and several other contract wins and pilots announced in December 2012 which together represented run rates of over £120m pa. Now this offering has been established, management intends to focus on exploiting Quindell’s potentially massive organic growth opportunities in the near term. The group has had a 100% success rate in converting outsourcing pilot projects to full contracts, with prospects now immediately signing full contracts after seeking references from existing clients. Forecasts We now expect FY2012 revenues, adj. EBITDA and adj. EPS of £164.8m, £46.4m and 1.29p, respectively. Despite an increase in our expected working capital requirements of £3.4m, higher than expected profitability has improved operating cash flow. Therefore, we have forecasted a net cash balance of £16.2m at 31st December 2012. Our 2013 forecasts remain largely unchanged. Valuation We feel these trading updates underpin our valuation, while clarification of the sales pipeline reaffirms the group’s growth plan. We base our valuation on a blend of 2012E and 2013E numbers, implying a new 40p target price and potential value of at least 60p.

[PINN] The Board has proposed the Share Capital Reorganisation, pursuant to which every 100 existing Ordinary Shares will be consolidated into 1 ordinary share of £0.1 each and, following this consolidation, each of the resulting ordinary shares of £0.1p each in the capital of the Company will be sub-divided into 1 ordinary share of £0.01 and 1 deferred share of £0.09. The value of the Deferred Shares will effectively be zero. To the extent that the number of Existing Ordinary Shares held by a Shareholder is not a multiple of 100, each such Existing Ordinary Share will not be consolidated as set out above, but will instead be redesignated as a new Deferred Share. The maximum potential loss by each Shareholder as a result of the consolidation element of the Share Capital Reorganisation is up to 99 Existing Ordinary Shares, with an aggregate value of 41.58p, based on a share price of 0.42p per Existing Ordinary Share

The Placing was conducted for the Company by WH Ireland Limited. Paul Harrison, CEO of Strategic Minerals, said: "We are delighted to announce this successful placing and in particular the interest shown by new institutional investors participating in this financing. The funding will be used primarily to meet the working capital needs of our operations at the Cobre mine in New Mexico including inside mine gate costs, rail freight to port and all port costs at Guaymas. This funding will ensure that monthly export shipments can proceed uninterrupted and leaves the Company fully financed for all of its current operations." Background The Company announced in June 2012 that it had completed the rehabilitation and upgrade of the rail link to the Cobre Mine in New Mexico to enable rail shipments of its magnetite iron ore to begin. In August it announced the successful completion of a test shipment by rail to the port of Guaymas in Mexico and in September the Company announced its state of readiness to commence exports shortly. In November it announced that export sales had commenced with the first export market shipment of over 47,000 dry metric tonnes ("DMT") to Glencore AG. In addition, the Company continues to service the USA domestic market at increasing levels through truck sales at mine gate. During 2013 the Company intends to complete monthly shipments of approximately 50,000 DMT. The funds raised in the Placing will be used primarily to provide working capital for the monthly shipments, as well as to strengthen the balance sheet. The first of these shipments, approximately 53,000 DMT, is currently being loaded, at the port of Guaymas in Mexico. The Placing The Placing Shares have been conditionally placed by W H Ireland Limited ("WHI"). Under the terms of a placing agreement dated 7 February 2013 and entered into between the Company and WHI, WHI has agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure placees for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price. The Placing is not underwritten. Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is anticipated that Admission will occur on 8 February 2013. On Admission the Placing Shares, will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares"). Total Voting Rights Following Admission the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 550,825,560. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

[ANGM] Update 4 February: Operational update On Sunday 27th January, there was a gold doré pour at Nalunaq of 24.5kg, being 670 ounces of gold which has generated US$1,104,740. This gold pour was achieved with 14 days of production effort and, if maintained, it would be considered a commercial level of production. Pillar mining has just commenced and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum are expected to visit site during the next two weeks to approve the first pillar workings. Creditor action update On 24 January 2013, the Company announced that it had filed an intention to appoint an administrator both for the Company and its principal operating subsidiary, Arctic Mining Ltd. This filing provided the Company and Arctic Mining Ltd with a period of protection during which no legal action could be taken, within the UK, against either of the two companies. Should no agreement be reached with creditors before the expiry of this period, on 06 February, the appointment of the administrator requires action on the part of either the directors or creditors. Alternatively, the Company has the option of extending the notice of intent which would provide the Company and Arctic Mining Ltd with the same protection for an additional ten business days. A proposed deferred payment plan has since been presented to the principal trading creditors and, whilst negotiations are on-going, it is hoped to have formal agreements in place by mid-February. The Company also continues to work with Cyrus Capital Partners LP to explore financing and restructuring options. Suspension from Trading on AIM Shares in the Company will continue to be suspended from trading on AIM until further notice.

[ANGM] This will not get "sorted" in shareholders favour. All creditors, apart from secured creditors, will be treated equally and fairly. Shareholders will receive very little return if this outfit goes into administration and the listing is cancelled. There is too large a gap from debts and income steam to salvage here unless major creditors back a rescue and or a creditors voluntary arrangement no matter who the creditor is.
