thanks meconopsis-it did occur to me that in view of the apparent blatant discrepancies i might be oversimplifying the calculations and your knowledge of the ifrs has helped to dispel any reservations i may have had.

as a chap who used to do his finances on the back of a *** packet it's all a bit of a revelation i can tell you (joking)- a long time ago i had to read balance sheets as part of my job but now the accounting profession has gone on an ego trip by making annual accounts as complicated as possible, and aiding financial obfuscation big time, i wouldn't stand a chance!

A good result in terms of profit and dividend but looking back revenue is only marginally lower than it was in 2020 but Operating Profit is down by 62%

Also and without having examined the financials in too much detail, I find it rather strange that, despite last year's share buyback, NAV has plummeted by 25% to 238p and by 60% on the 2020 figure.

No doubt there is an accounting Guru out there who can shed some light on the above

(I am assuming here that the figures shown in "Fundamentals" above have been spread accurately bit if one does the maths on the Income Statement, they don't seem to add up|)

You do via your tax return for '24/25

Now sinking slowly but surely-bets on us finishing up in the red??

What a conundrum this share is-good divs. granted (only £500 allowed before taxable thanks to Comrade Hunt) but when there are regular bouts of significant capital reduction makes a mockery of it all.

Only Aviva could lose good justifiable gains on the back of excellent results.

6million shares sold hints of profits being taken as the SP hits a high not seen since June 2018

Yes, just think- 4 years ago we stood at £2.00. Just hope we can hang on to today's gains

......on expected Final Divi announcement tomorrow anyone??

Take no notice of the HL stats. particularly as they relate to Sareum-they are always rubbish: eg at present showing SP up by 14.52% and over 5 years up by 4,471%. The price 5 years ago was 35p by the way

Dunno where HL get their stats from but they need to review their source. At one stage this morning showing a 12% increase- now showing 8.57% decrease, despite little movement in the SP.

.....wobbling again this morning after several weeks of steady progress. Must be the only share to go down as ex-div day approaches.

Don't expect much from Berkeley: he had no qualms about kicking the medical profession in the teeth despite having lauded them to the skies during Covid, so he won't bother about doing the same to us. Highest taxation regime for 70 years and this from the so called low tax Tory Party.

But the alternative........????

Correction

2023: £545, but still a huge hike this year

Oiled-up

My car insurance 2023 £287: cheapest this year so far £1,087!!

Memo to Sunak: do you know why we have raging inflation Mr. Prime Minister? Leave the cloistered confines of No.10 and your country estate and get out and about to see at first hand what is happening in the real World.

(PS Thank your lucky stars this ain't France otherwise Whitehall would be full of cows, tractors and howling mobs)

"it’s nearing the bottom of a multi year range...."

Price 8 years ago- 30p: price today 30p despite oodles of good news since. Insane

No reference to pay rises though shepster-as they ranged from about 33% to 65%, justification would have been impossible.

Typical "AIM Drain" BoD practice.

According to my HL screen this morning the SP was up 9.7p or 32.33% despite showing a price of 30p same as last night's close. Beats me where they get their data from!

"I'm still not topping up."

Wouldn't even consider it nowadays but with Buys exceeding Sells today others feel differently it seems

To whom do these belong-TM or the Company. If TM he would be proofed against the company going up the pictures as he could just walk away into a big company with infinite resources leaving the rest of us whistling Dixie.

Aber. £1.50 might seem like a joke but I suspect there may be more than a few LTH who would say ".... it- I've been sodding around with this company for over a decade- I'll still make a decent profit that can be invested in income producing shares"

What might I lose by bailing out-crystal ball gazing"

No-it wasn't an error-now .31 if you want to sell-down 15% (but believe in the science don't forget)

Shares now close to worthless-no wonder the top brass awarded themselves huge pay rises last year- I thought they were a cut above the usual dubious calibre of AIM company directors: just beginning to think otherwise.

It ain't just RF who are shafting us
