I've looked at the iii website and the post you refer to Adie. He seems to talk sense (looked through his other posts also). For the year ended Mar 07, which is what he is talking about, I think he is being a bit pessimistic. My fag packet calcs indicate turnover closer to 8.5 million for 06/07 but his general thoughts seem sound and he is careful to qualify his figures reference the spending of the 3 million cash! Just seen the offer up at 18p!!

Yes all time high now, the RNS news has gone down well, you have to give credit to RW and his team... I was very impressed at AGM they are level headed and steering the company the right way...

Actually it would funny if we get an announcement reference the 3 million to spend in the next couple of weeks soon after Mr Currie joins the board....

17p bid now. Market seems to have reacted positively to the appointment of Bill Currie & the debt payoff.

The last 2-year chart I'm looking at is showing the intraday buying highs of 18p (1.8 before the split). The 16.5p resistance has been broken within the last 2 days and the underlaying uptrend has been confirmed. If we can close at 18p mid today, I expect a surge in the shareprice in the short term carried by the increased volumes, as the price is ready to break out to an all time high!
Watch this space!

Call me thick, but I'm trying to understand why the Bonds only cost 295,000 to clear instead of the 2,600,000 that they stated in the interims. Superb saving if they somehow managed it, as long as it's not a mistake. Any ideas anyone ?

Repayment of principal of a loan is not a cost, only the interest and premium are.

Ah, so when it says (in the interims) :
"It is expected that repayment of all existing Group debt (including the purchase
and cancellation of some #2.6 million of Polish bonds) will be completed
shortly. This will result in annual interest savings for the Group of some #0.27
million."
then it's not actually a debt of 2.6m that they owe as it's not an actual loan but principal of a loan.
Thanks,
Og

hi- so this is where everyone hides!
One thing that I think would help everyone is if Seymour Pierce actually produced a report with some forecasts. I have contacted the chairman about this in the past but he said it was giving too many hostages to fortune.
I didn't really accept this as the newly acquired stores contribute very little to the figures generally so the following years figures should be fairly easily calculable.
I think this is important at the moment when what is in effect happening is that institutional investors are trying to get the shares out of PI hands for as little as possible.
I have no doubt that these institutional investors are in possession of more of the facts than we are and have some spotty analysts to produce their own projections.
If they make a particularly astute acquisition etc it would give opportunities for updates. Perhaps someone else might fancy having a go at Worthington. I have found him to be very responsive.

That's a nice looking chart. Things moving up quite nicely at last.
