I have held these shares for over 12 months and am at breakeven at this price. However 2 months ago they were in the 3ps so shall be happy to get out ahead. If others want to hold them until they are back at that level then doesn't make much sense to me.
What is the company worth. It is valued at 45m. Let's give it a notional p/e of 15. Gives us required earnings of 3m. It last made a surplus in 2018 of 180k. Take the money!
My point is that most institutions will not and often are not allowed to buy penny or in this case less than penny stocks. The share price after consolidation will stand on the merits of the company. After all it's mv remains the same.
The board and the companies advisors should be looking at a share consolidation. There are many institutions that cannot invest in this company whilst it’s share price is below 1p.
Looks to me that this is a good way for the boys to take money out of the business. I would have thought the company could have raised finance on better terms than this.
Having got out of this share after the accounting scandal, I thought I would have an update and was surprised to see that Mr Briffa has been awarded £130,000 of nil cost options on terms to be announced some six months after the event. Some reward for having signed off accounts that he should have known were inaccurate. Where is the corporate governance. One year ago I valued these shares at 50p - not far to go.
I don`t think the negligent parties should get away with this. There are investors who paid well in excess of �1 for these shares on the basis that they thought they could rely on accounts prepared and audited professionally. Who is going to reimburse them?.
Perkylad, I cannot see how this would have been recognised in the books if it had not been invoiced. The implication is that it was accrued, in which case both the FD and auditors should have been aware.
