Well now we have a pretty good idea of what the CEO & CFO think is a fair price for these shares - 205.2p!.

This latest deal would appear to empty the coffers. No mention of financing arrangements.

Note purchase of 1.2 mill shares today. There has been quite a bit of buying interest over the past couply of weeks.

Well spotted Roger. I may well be wrong but I believe the market cap is about£16MM, in which case the options are exerciseable. I calculate that the potential share issue would be about 4% of the capital and the dilution effect about 3% after allowing for the share costs. Feel free to audit my calcs.

How can you trade this share when the MMs have a 5% turn, and today for example a £3k sale has resulted in a 5% fall in the share price.

Why the sudden upsurge in share dealings?.

Well well, now I guess we have the answer to my last post. This company has a niche position in a growing market. It now needs the Board to act professionally and move the company forward.

How's that! No sooner said than done. Seriously, pity we have to wait for new CEO to take place. In the meantime he can work out how to rationalise the group and sort out the pension deficits.

What's this, a power struggle? Bernard Muller and Andreas Dreathen are 25% shareholders in Port Invest which holds 24% of Nature. It presently appears Dreathen is staying. Can anybody shed any light on what's occurring?

Congrats to the inept management - shares at 3 year low. About time there was a shakeup of the Board.

I admit to having dismissed the comments of critics of the management, but now have to agree. Whilst the new finance arrangements look good, the results update looks awful. How can they simply say that because sales are down by 6% the net result will be substantially worse than last year. Are sales so highly leveraged? What happened to the cost savings?

More director buys. Either they all think the company is undervalued or something is afoot.

As the directors now indirectly control 23% of the company, is a bid on the cards?

Can anybody shed any light on the abrupt price fall.

I would like to think that yesterday's reaction was the unwinding of some speculative long positions that had been built up over the past few months. The amounts involved do not look like institutional selling. Hopefully the market will now stabilize before again recognising the recovery/growth prospects here.
