The NAV is 350p+ and the portfolio/NAV fell by 40% which when compared to British Land's fall of over 64% and Land secs fall of over 67% makes QED look nothing short of solid. Add to this that the funds under management actually grew - 51% The directors say they have prepared the report taking into account 'material uncertainty' about the future of the company. They acknowledge that the company's future will only be secure if they achieve one or more of a number of things. 1 sell more assets to pay down debt, 2 sell an equity stake (or raise funds somehow), 3 renegotiate banking covenants in the event of around 10% further fall in values. HOWEVER, they also say they are confident that they can achieve these things and have adequate cash flow - THEREFORE they have concluded the business has a future and have prepared the accounts on the basis of it being a going concern. the Board has a good track record of acknowledging difficulties, facing up to them and resolving them effectively. Many directors have buried their heads in the sand, but this bunch haven't - and that is a good argument for the company. the mere fact the sp went up and has held is a good sign. the valid talk of a market retrace, wich i personaly feel wont happen and if it does it wont be bad, is what is holding this share back, it should sit around this price hopefully into 60's, and by the time the market is on the way up at least mid 80's just an opinion
Adrian Wyatt, Chief Executive, added: “Global economic conditions had an unprecedented impact on the property sector during the financial year, prompting the steepest valuation declines on record for the sector in general and, inevitably, Quintain. However, the underlying health of Quintain’s operational business remained sound and we have generated an increase in revenue from our diverse asset base: gross rental income has risen by 10%, gross fee income from Fund Management is 51% higher and gross profits increased by 7% over the period. Our capital commitments are limited, our operating costs are 25% lower than a year ago and our finance base is significantly enhanced through prudent and proactive management, providing the Company with the flexibility it requires to manage the impact of current economic conditions.” may be this is why it is holding ? does not explain the news below though???
QUINTAIN WARNS OF DOUBTS TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN The social housing and regeneration company Quintain has cast doubts upon its ability to survive the recession. The company has seen a catastrophic fall in the value of its assets due to the decline of the UK property market and Quintain now looks to be in danger of breaching its debt covenants. It managed to renegotiate terms on its short-term and long-term debts earlier in the year, but this reprieve was followed by the failure of a proposed 100 million pound equity raising in April. this was released this morning and the price held very well, i think this could this mean a take over is on the cards, wait to see what is going on with brixton what do others think?

i think and i might be wrong! but,,,, i think the sp goes up if someone buys shares at a high price, does not matter if it is a £27 buy of 7 shares as long as the pay over the odds, im not sure how this works but i heard it before from the web page, with a buy of only £27 i think it was made to look obviouse,,,,as i say,, i might be wrong and i hope i am.

im not completely sure to be honest, but for the purpose of conversation, ,, share prices behave in a funny way, if acompany relases info that they are making people reduntant and they lost £50,000,000, in a year sometimes the sp price goes up because the estimated loss was gona be £100,000,000 and sacking people reduces further cost. so on that fact i think the sp will fall as purchasing brixton will be an absolutely huge cost and untill it is settled exactly how much i dont think people will want to buy, but in the long term it should be a good thing, im holding as im in for long term and dont know enough to start 'day trading' try looking at some previouse news on take overs find out the date then use the graphs to see what happend
so what do we rekon my only friend on QED, ( that used to be a good documentary series ! ) what with talk that these are really worth £4 and it baile itself out with its own cash assets when the sh!? hit the fan,,,, are we gona go up after june the 4th or down,,,,more to the point are we gona have a little punt on weather we are going up r down.
im tinytim cus i got a small willy!!!! thats why i have nothing else to do but start *****ing matches on a share talk page. pretend i know what im talking about...and all that !!! enough with all this ,, i would like to say sorry for any offence as i feel this may be more than a bit of light hearted banter to pass the time on a share that does not really do much. hope you are gona make a profit with your investments Bad14u ,,,good luck for the future (you will not see a reply from me to you again)

im in QED for the long term, i was in at 56p and could of waited a few days to get in at early 40's, i was gona buy brixton but decided to top up on QED instead i also then picked SEGRO instead of brixton,,,,,,because im in for the long term im laughing at my self. just thought i would post as this is a very lonely talk page!
