MWAAAAAAAAHHHH again!

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT AND TRADING UPDATE TRADING UPDATE - MARCH 2012 16 March 2012 The Company reports that the total Group gross sales including concessions and VAT for the first 19 weeks of the year, to 10 March 2012, were 45.9% higher than the previous year. This increase was driven by the acquisition of 19 department stores from Anglia Regional Co-operative Society Limited which was completed on 22 May 2011, which increased the number of stores that the Group operates from 13 to 32. The Group has reviewed its trading stance over the period and reduced the frequency of 'mega day' discount events and consequently like for like sales including concessions and VAT for the 19 weeks to 10 March were 8.4% lower than the previous year. As noted in the Annual Report, trading in the current year has been significantly adversely affected by the difficult economic conditions faced by all retailers. With this in mind the Group has undertaken a major restructuring review of its operations and is in the process of implementing a series of strategies which were identified during the course of the review. Trading to date is consistent with the Board's expectation of total year performance.

Shire, the pharmaceutical company is also given the once over by Tempus. Quite a busy day for the company. It pulled out of an application to sell its Fabry disease treatment, Replagal, in the US after a misunderstanding with the Food and Drug Administration. It then announced a $100m purchase of FerroKin BioSciences, a company which makes treatments for excess iron following blood transfusions. The company had a storming 2011 and Tempus thinks despite a turbulent Thursday, the stock is worth buying on any weakness.

Premier Farnell gets a turn in the Times’s Tempus column. As the paper points out the company is a fascinating “bellwether” of the world economy because people order its electrical components “on demand”. It has virtually no forward orders. In other words, what is happening to Premier Farnell is happening to the global economy. Would you buy the global economy right now? Probably not thinks Tempus. Premier trades at roughly 12 times expected 2012 earnings and yields perhaps 4.7%. Not bad, but not going anywhere. Leave.

Summary: The changes made at both the Board and Operations level in late 2010 have proved to be extremely beneficial by increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our in-country operations. The drilling results continue to confirm the prospectivity of the Block 31 permit and whilst the delays in the granting of the requisite approvals to commence production have been frustrating, the goal of developing Jupiter Energy into a full cycle E&P company with a meaningful production profile and sizeable 2P reserves base remains on track.
