RE: Trading update due this week28 Jan 2019 13:34
Not too sure about a TU as it varies in past years. Nice if there is as it should show some excellent progress. Looking to add but waiting for the traders and impatient to leave from Friday's RNS re 7 mil plus contracts. There was a lot spiked and a clearly some stale bulls offloaded into what was a massive volume day of almost 20 million. The BOD have almost 55% of the shares, so a good percentage of the available stock was traded. What was interesting from Fridays RNS was the majority of the contracts went to MBGho have seen a remarkable turnaround in the last 8 months as stated I the last interim results:
'MBG has had a very strong six months following on from a very good year last year and has generated profits before tax in the first half of the year of £456k (2017 - £44k). This was achieved due to turnover increasing to £3.8m from £1.3m over the corresponding period last year, together with a keen control of its operating expenditure.'
Therefore I suspect the margins are greater for MBG contracts. Last years results, TU and forward looking statement could make for an interesting year. From the same interims they had just short of 700k in retained earnings although the trade and other payables weigh heavy on the balance sheet I guess this is the nature of the business they are in.
