OK, so. If you take the peak price this ever reached in 2005, adjust for CPI inflation and #of shares in issue, I get about 23p.

Chelsea I followed the IC link, and it is behind a paywall for me.

Dartron,

Thank you for your balanced posts. It is as useful to know why folks might not be buying as it is why they might want to.

As for their acquisitions, I do also have some concerns about this too. However they do generally seem to be paying a lower multiple of profits than BEG is trading at, so that reassures me somewhat.

Looks positive

Trying to work out how a 10% increase in adjusted profits translates to a 4.5% increase in diluted adjusted EPS though. Can't all be increased corporation tax.

Personally I am looking forward to seeing a prompt half year report early in the new year, that will perhaps be able to focus more on the detail of these new projects without having to deal so much with what are hopefully now legacy issues.

Hopefully such a report, released on a prompt timescale will give more of an impression of a company that is back under control of its destiny and, touch wood, making a profit.

Well I bought 70K shares at 2.45 about 10 min before the RNs, so I'd better read the results now. Broke my rule on this one.

Latest they've done before is just after 12.30.

They have also done a mid morning on Nov 30 before.

Pure speculation on my part (they were due a triennial valuation, and I don't think we've seen the outcome of that; perhaps there is a delay on this?). If anything, any DB pension outcomes should be on the positive side, if other schemes are anything to go by.

My email to them (about 6 months ago) was to understand the difference between the deficit in the accounts (ASF19), and the Trustees valuation, which has to be more prudent. This is normal; nothing more than that.

Given that we are speculating as to the reason for this, I reckon it's something to do with the pension scheme 3 year valuation.

Individial AIM shares get a fixed % of my portfolio at time of purchase and no more, so I'll not be buying any more.

These delayed results are troubling me somewhat. However they did reply promptly to an email where I queried the pension scheme a few months ago, so they did demonstrate good investor comms. back then at least.

Their cookware site (emba) has plenty of stock!
