haven't read it, I'm afraid, because won't affect share price now.

Sharper decline in adjusted profit before tax than I, personally, was looking for: �7.2m v �10.1m; Improvement in decline of like-for-like sales in opening weeks of Q3: -0.2% v -2.2% in Q2; Free cash flow more than doubled: �6.8m v �3.0m; Maintained interim dividend; "Plan to disrupt the commercial tile market and construct a new market leader over the medium term"; "We continue to take a prudent view of the second half outlook and expect that pre-tax profits for the full year will be within the current range of market expectations".

They most certainly do NOT amount to the same thing, wiresphil: a loan is a loan, requiring reimbursement; an equity-raising raises capital, forming part of the equity of the company, not requiring reimbursement. It's a matter of finance and the English language.

You're forgiven, Scandic. That's the first time I've ever associated any of this stuff on these boards to poetry!

I'm aware of the �10m loan (now reduced to �4.25m), but that is just one. What other loans are you referring to, wiresphil?

The 2017 report and accounts were communicated via RNS of 03/04/18. This is what you have failed to consult: directors and employees are given under note 4.

You're more than a year and a half behind the times, Scandic: SS was on �339k in the year ending 30/09/17.

Just to clarify: my last post was not aimed at anyone in particular.

What's the expression? Talks a lot and says little, something like that.

"Trappist monks generally speak only when necessary; thus idle talk is strongly discouraged". If only idle talk could be discouraged on this board!

Possibly, but looks a bit small: YA could have sold 2m shares.

Suspect the link may be Sbuild!

Explain.

... There are several reasons for the sudden surge in forward prices. Oil consumption is expanding much faster than anticipated, adding growth in two years that would normally three. At the same, oil investment has dropped significantly over the past three years, particularly in projects that take longer to develop such as ultra-deep water offshore, raising doubts about future supply growth despite the gains in Texas, North Dakota and other U.S. shale regions...

katavi, If you are seriously thinking of averaging down, then surely the ideal time is precisely when there is no news and the trolls are enjoying themselves in the sunshine.

... Maduro, a former bus driver and foreign minister, has given little indication of his plans to remedy inflation that may hit 13,000 percent this year and an economic contraction that could hit 9.2 percent, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. Maduro�s promise of an �economic revolution� is complicated by threats from U.S. to punish Venezuela�s oil industry... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-21/maduro-wins-venezuelan-election-risking-harsh-oil-sanctions
