It will be interesting to see what the rights / money raising comes to in July and then what will be left for the small shareholders when the partners and stakeholders take back as their % of stock after converting their loans back into stock. It just looks like Debt for Equity swap.

Let's just work on facts and not living in a fantasy which seems to be what you are living in.

Get real, what planet are you living on ? The sp has crashed from 80p ish to what 32p, the companies business has crashed , the companies prospects have crashed from a target of 40mm scuffs to what 11, customers don't exist , the company is running out of money, no one wants our gas. But the sp goes up a few 1p's from it's very lows over a few weeks and it sounds like you are happy. Who are you and what are you, because you cannot be normal.

I think the truth is that the majority of investors have just given up on vog the bod's and cannot even be bothered to post any more. We never get progress, we never get the truth, we just get shafted .!!!!!!!!!

Very strange to bring back the people that took the company down and put them in charge again. Does anyone know what they are doing ?

Goodness what a confused set of conditions, Mothercare's Refinancing will provide funding of up to �113.5m, comprising: A proposed equity capital raising of �28m expected to be launched in July 2018 by way of a firm placing, placing and open offer (the "New Equity Issue"). Revised committed debt facilities of �67.5m with a final maturity extended to December 2020 and certain interim step downs to be provided by the Company's existing lenders (the "Revised Debt Facilities") New �8m shareholder loans from certain of the Company's largest shareholders (the "Shareholder Loans"). Each of the Shareholder Loans is convertible into new ordinary shares in the Company at the option of the relevant shareholder, conditional upon, among other things, the approval by the Company's shareholders of the conversion of the relevant Shareholder Loan as a related party transaction A new debtor backed facility of up to �10m from one of the Company's trade partners (the "Trade Partner Loan") The Shareholder Loans and the Trade Partner Loan will provide immediate access to up to �18m of additional liquidity which will: Then it goes on and on. Just looks like no one was willing to under right the lot and it still looks in danger. I guess the only thing to do is keep clear until at least end July to see what happens.

I expect we all remember just how big a brand Hovis was under RHM and then we bought it and that's what broke our back so to speak, I think it was a 50 /50 % deal for 5 years and then one side could sell . God knows what's happened to the brand and sales since then but I bet it's not making any / much profit now, so I guess neither side want to buy it from the other and so it could be locked in for another few years until there is some value in it for pfd. Even the mail today only had a very small article in it about angel delight and not much about just how well pfd has done this year. It's as if they didn't have / want to say anything but thought they might just mention it. I guess they are not impressed by the results either.

We spend 6 months waiting for the next set of results all hoping they will be better than expected and all hoping that if they are at long last the sp will start to move up. But even after some better than expected results some / many brokers still don't think pfd have turned the corner or have the trust in GD , and blow me down it looks like another 6- 12 months wait for great expectations. Someone come and put pfd out with a bid of at least 65p.

So far it's the same old trading pattern as the last 3-5 years, a very long wait for an rns and some improvement and then back to normal poor sp movement. Well at least things haven't got worse, but we have at least got improvements in sales, improvements in profit and improvements in debt albeit small. Now it's down to the city to give their view on the future and any sale of Batchelors etc.

Liabilities in the combined schemes decreased by �213.2m in the year to �4,546.6m. The value of liabilities associated with the RHM scheme were �3,430.5m, a reduction of �166.5m while liabilities in the Premier Foods schemes were �46.7m lower at �1,116.1m. The reduction in the value of liabilities in both schemes is due to a slight increase in the discount rate assumption, from 2.65% to 2.70% and a reduction in the inflation rate assumption; from 3.3% to 3.15%. The net present value of future deficit payments, to the end of the respective recovery periods remains at c.�300-320m. So about the same as last year.

What do I know but for a change I am trying to be positive, but the way pfd goes it could well end the day down.

I don't think this was ever going to jump 20% on a good rns but maybe it's going to be steady progress upwards, and I guess it depends on how the Con / call goes with the city.

I think this is the first rns in the last 5 years where I haven't felt depressed , things are looking up and NOW we can look forward to some takeover bids.

I guess you are a shorter but I don't think these results are going to help you, you should sell now fast before you loose everything. the sp is going north fast.

What are you on about needing proof, As far as I can see they look much better than was thought to be, even taking advantage of the cold weather in the last qtr with sales up 7%. Total sales up, total profit up total debt down. Apart from wanting 20% growth what more do you want. Now I can see the sp moving up if there is a good Con / call at 9 am. Maybe just maybe we have turned the corner.

Full year revenue up +3.6%; H2 revenue up +5.3% � Trading profit growth of +5.1% to �123.0m � Adjusted profit before tax up +5.9% to �78.6m � Statutory profit before tax up +74.2% to �20.9m; basic earnings per share 0.9 pence � Net debt �496.4m; a �26.8m reduction on prior year � Net debt/EBITDA3 reduced to 3.56x � Improvement in aggregate pensions surplus to �317.0m � Ahead of revenue, Trading profit and Net debt market expectations for the full year � Extended revolving credit facility and launched offering of new �300m 5 year Senior Secured fixed rate notes

I see Asda are pushing the new Batchelors super rice and sauce pots products, I wonder just how many other major supermarkets are stocking the product and wonder how well it is selling ? Could find that out as well tomorrow with fantastic profits all round, then sp up to 60p.

To think that before they used to have some great brands like, Hovis, Branston, Sarsons, Gales Honey, plus plus plus and they sold them all off and we still have something like �520m debt. Apart from some small tweeks on some products when did they last launch a great big selling NEW product.

Good morning to you, yes many of us are moaning but only because we are frustrated by GD actions and poor results so far. Oasis must have been on the board for what about a year now so know just what's been going on and what is about to happen and still haven't sold. As I mentioned this week there must have been some sort of decision made about the future plans looked at by 1 of the big accountant firms and maybe we will hear more about that this week, and even possibly a sale of Batchelors. as well as Mammoth sales and profits.

Maybe they just don't want to see too many tarts or little fancies around this month.
