...as with a number of decently organised African countries e.g. Botswana and Uganda (or have small sea access)... ...being facetious, we love Safaris etc for a reason...there's one h**** of a lot of bush ...I've hitch a fair amount around southern & eastern Africa so have some first hand experience!!!

..if they begin to manage working capital effectively, this becomes v v interesting proposition imv ...with placing at 20p giving some fire power, I would be Jolly excited

The Group is making considerable efforts to reduce the amount of its receivables and is confident that by 31 March 2013 its receivables position will have improved substantially.

no idea...perhaps, like me, looking to load up on this beaut... ..I'm waiting for c55p (forecast p/e of c10)...may never come..tant pis

interesting analysis...a bit optimistic imv... ...I don't see cash hoarding..and don't see cash being mobilised into real investment before the economic prospects improve...so we disagree on which is the cart (for me, cash; for you, economic prospects) and which the horse.. ..in the meantime...and central to improving economic prospects...the overwhelming stock of govn and private sector debt has to be inflated away..so gold decent hedge imv

....difficult to motivate buying until sub 7p imv.. ...and tricky to avoid top slicing above 10p. ...so maybe not so random???

...well, sub 2.50 was not to be.. ..tant pis

Agreement re Banking Facilities and Trading Update New Banking Facilities The Board of Green Compliance is pleased to announce that further to the announcement made on 10 January 2013, it has entered into new facilities and associated covenants with HSBC in respect of a revolving credit facility of GBP9.0 million (the "RCF"). The RCF, which has a margin of 4% over LIBOR and which runs until 31 December 2013, will replace the revolving credit facility and overdraft which the Company had in place and completes the re-financing of the Company following the January equity placing. Trading update The Board is also pleased to report that trading in the quarter to 31 March 2013 has been encouraging with sales growth month on month in each of the first 3 months of 2013. Revenue was 5% greater in the quarter to 31 March 2013 than in the quarter to 31 December 2012. In addition the month of March was the highest sales and cash collections month for the Company since October 2012. Several customers have renewed contracts in the period and there have been some further significant examples of multiple buying across divisions by Green Compliance customers. The Board has also continued to focus on efficiency and whilst the full impact will not be felt until later periods the Company has reduced costs by £1m on an annualised basis in the quarter to 31 March 2013. Commenting, Bob Holt, Chairman, said: "I am very pleased that we have concluded discussions with HSBC in agreeing the new facilities. Whilst these are still early days I am also encouraged by the fact that trading in the business has picked up in the early months of this year. Everyone is focused on continuing to deliver profitable revenue growth across the integrated business and I am very impressed with the motivation and effort of the people in the Company and the forward momentum that has been created in the last three months."

..slowly does it lol

I'm up to my neck in goldies...as partial hedge against rampant inflation... ..but certainly can see the merit of your move!!

spot on...

Outlook The Company is making excellent progress in delivering the strategy we set out a year ago, and plans to approach break-even in 2013, before moving into trading profit in 2014. This will be achieved by driving the continued growth of R2S and the consulting business, proving our marine capabilities, making additional acquisitions and, where appropriate, the sale of legacy oil & gas assets.

I'd love to share your optimism re African manufacturing....but v little sign of such a miracle.. ...fwiw, I see gold being held back by perception that maybe US will rein in QE ..if the US misjudges this and does a Japan (deflation), then we are all up to our neck in s*** with cash and ?US govn bonds the only real port(s) in the global tempest.. ..but surely Ben (that great scholar of the 1930s) will not make that schoolkid error??...surely?? ..tin hats on, folks

I like goldies...but... ..worth (re-)checking out Dr Doom/Roubini..listening to that amazing interview with Freeland yet again....amazingly coherent..

Have you managed to put together the analysis for POG? v interested to read if available All goldies continue to be hit hard; the spot price of gold is under nagging pressure; and there is better value among the small goldies - than POG or ABG imv .......for example,AAZ (if you like production at low cost) or PAF if cheap reserves tickle your proverbial all opinion only atb Jolly
