First of all Steakbake, Lloyds have got that completely wrong. You can do the calc yourself. They are offering you 13268 shares at a price of 1.68p. So 13268 x 0.0168 - £222.90. They are only looking to raise a potential £0.41m so consider some of the larger holders, if it was £22ks worth they were offering you, they'd soon reach the 0.41m which is not viable.
Willarmd - your calcs are correct. Highly unlikely that it can relist at the same price after consolidation, as this has been heavily discounted at 1.68p. However, unlike usual consolidations, the majority of the new shares are not in the open market, they have already been purchased. Thus meaning a rise could quite easily happen on open if there is the demand. With a turnover of around 1.5m, the placing money, then a value of 4m and an SP of 1.68 appears fair. However, like you say, the company are an unknown quantity and I feel that there is large potential there. Why do they need over £1m as the business is already running fairly successfully. I guess they want to expand and on a fairly big scale.
Yorkie, I'm being offered pretty much the same. I'm seriously considering it, I just need to weigh up the possibility of people want to sell on re-admission. My feeling is there will be demand and the price will rise, if they can announce some early news then we may sustain any rise.
