Seem to remember this was a pizza company a few years back... dodgy dealings, but always fun flipping a coin on the table when something like this happens GLA

Dollar will hopefully continue to weaken.. give these PM stocks a break :)

Gains / losses since Year End (Dec 31st) Although not yet reported, as YE results were February... SLN - 4.2% holding prior to dilution was at last count 2,186,000 shares, no equivalent to 3.14%. At 31st Dec 2014 the stock value was 220p, now they are 36% higher at 300p even after major fundraising (placing) and the holding is worth £6,558,000 approximately £1.75m added to the investment value to date. PHC - 5.3% holding, equivalent to 3,802,220 shares. At 31st Dec 2014 they were approx 118p however they are now 108p in the middle of their trading range, total value of £4,106,000, a loss of £0.38m In addition to the above, Sarossa has holdings of below 3.0 per cent. in - a profitable AIM listed care sector support services business with a solid dividend yield - a good growth record and a multinational sports betting and gaming group also with a solid dividend yield That's over £1.4m in portfolio appreciation over the past 5 months. Of the Company's investments, at 31 December 2014 they had a total value of £12.23 million. Cash balances of £6.29 million at 31 December 2014. Therefore net assets including investments totaled £18.53 million. Assuming the two unknown investments are flat we are looking at £13.5 million portfolio value today. Cash will have fallen by just less than £900k as 52 million shares were bought and cancelled at 1.72p, so let's say £5.4 million in the bank. £200k of fees for the period. Net assets therefore marginally higher at £18.7 million But of course the current MCAP after factoring in the recent buy back of shares is only £10.6 million at this price...(0.018 x 588,188,754 shares). It was around the £12 million level recently.

Results announced today are a step in the right direction, especially given £7m valuation. A perceived uptick in European trading and CMH should soon appreciate

Awful track record! List of failed investments is quite staggering, where was the risk management or contingency plan here? What looks like £3.03m investments to £516k according to the table. NAV down by nearly a half! Even for a small-cap like this you would expect some defensive trading and positioning like MAFL are doing

£136M Market Cap Revenues around £60m but reliant on debt facilities for cashflow 'Organic revenue growth' only to the extent loans are available (new £40m facility agreed) EBITDA of £16m (25% of revenue not bad), PBT of £7.6m... overall £5.7m profit Earnings impacted by tax from previous years and total dividend for theyear 0.75p (around 2%) Net debt falling to £15.4m (approx £4m paid off over 12 months) Todays update suggests net debt has fallen by around £5m over a 6 month period, down to £9.7m. However not to get too excited as the same time a year ago the company reported " a significant reduction in net debt, from £19.8m at the year end 31 October 2013, to £8.7m on 30 April 2014" ... only for it to rise again in the second half of the year. Still despite the fluctuating net debt position, the company continues to purchase shares to Treasury whilst they remain cheap. There is no hurry to repay loans off especially with the company growth to date and the expected turnaround in the groups oil and gas assets (11% of the company).. The balance sheet looked healthy in January and in previous statements prior to that and weighting of profits normally comes in the first half of the year. Results are due out in three weeks

I had thought it was to do with dual listing... so FRES and HGM are still AIM-listed?

I hope you ignored the metrics, this is up over 35% since the start of the year

Audited results for the financial year normally released a good six months after year end... 30th June last year Very bullish picture from the last update back in September 2014. Tightly held stock with over 67% of shares not in public hands, less than 35 million floating around. The balance sheet was healthier than six months earlier with net debt down £230k and the continuing trend of growth through stream-lining operations and cash generation is expected to take MBO into a net cash position this year. Whether they achieved this in the second half of 2014 remains to be seen but they definitely will have by the end of H115! MBO were profitable in the Interim period banking £180k profit, but they took an impairment through the disposal of loss-making Indonesian operations to the value of £210k, which explains the £30k overall loss for the period... This was a one off impairment. Now factor in the £180k generated in the first half included losses from the now disposed of Indonesian and Cambodian operations during the first three months! So we are soon to discover what the full 6 months performance yielded, it will be significantly more than £180k for sure :) http://shareminator.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/mobility-one-mbo-expecting-to-move-back.html

Company continues to perform well in low-gold price environment, maintaining dividend payments. Where is everybody!? The only real negative attributed to the dividend payments is the currency exchange hasn't been favourable. Before C$6 cents would get you 3.8p now it's around 3.2p per share.. still 8% yield isn't bad in this climate. Things looking up for 2016 too with increased revenue and earnings expected. Perhaps CMCL will announce a dividend increase later this year in anticipation, gold price dependent...

A full year dividend of 1.5% isn't likely to entice pi's into this prospect. All cash generation and funds in bank are being depleted to grow the business through acquisitions and this is likely to continue through 2016 according to Edison's analysis. Only in 2017 will the cash position begin to look healthy again assuming the company doesn't deviate from strategy and continues to meet growth targets. Dividend estimate of 1.35p by then not much of a turn on, especially if the company opt to raise more equity

Anyone know why you don't pay stamp duty when buying HGM and FRES but you do paying for POG and HOC? It's 0.5% i'd like to save everywhere if possible :)

Note the director buys around 15p prior to Final Results released on Friday. The signs were there that this looked cheap, and the stock has clawed back some of the losses made in 2014 to reflect positive results. Is it just me, or does it seem unfair the Director was able to purchase knowing full well (or at least aware) of the performance of the business? Outlook for next year looks positive but with the notoriously quiet period ahead people may take profits or sell into any further share price strength. Final results for the 52 weeks ended 28 December 2014 Richoux Group plc, the owner and operator of 17 restaurants under the Richoux, Dean's Diner, Villagio and Zippers brands, today announces its final results for the year ended 28 December 2014. Key points: · Turnover increased 10.4% to £12.68 million (2013: £11.48 million). · Adjusted* EBITDA increased 10.0% to £1.63 million (2013: £1.49 million). · One new restaurant opened in the year. Five further sites have been secured for 2015/2016. · Currently seventeen restaurants trading. · Cash of £3.95 million at year end (2013: £4.01 million). "Although only one restaurant was opened during the period, we have already contracted to open three new sites this year with two further sites already contracted for 2016" Capital expenditure of £1m on the newly opened restaurant gives an idea of costs for further five sites to be opened but also what the operating profit figures are likely to be going forward. Cash pile likely to shrink this year and next but revenue, EBITDA, profits etc expected to increase. One to watch.

Precisely! GRG movements are slow and steady. It's stellar performance so far this year has exceeded most broker expectations but it looks set to continue. Personally think it is due a breather and correction given the performance of similar outlets and other 'Food & Drink Service' stocks but the trend hasn't peaked yet. Do you manually trail or does your investing account allow for automatic trails?

jolly - despite issuing treasury shares to settle options are you not tempted to buy back? The trend still looks positive and Interims only 2 months away? Surely the volatility experienced last year in lead up to and post-results is not to be repeated after recent stellar recovery

Tempting to take profits after being patient but think 6 months ahead, where will Greggs be.. still making tasty profits! :)

Price of Zinc has been doing well but watch the precious metal prices short term from here in my view. Silver showing no signs of retreating this week..

Taken a while but finally pushing new heights :) 760 passed today, waiting for company news on YNGA

With over 425m shares in issue the market cap stands at £17m... did anyone read past the projections and decipher the reasons why last years loss was so great? Too volatile at this price without something more substantial than a £3m equity raise...
