You don't need to 'SHOUT'ie use High case'
Ref Mayflower, think you'll need to replace your nickname!

Could someone please explain the meaning and implication of the following.

Does it mean that the company wants to issue more shares? If it does mean this what is the effect on shares already held? Will they be devalued by dilution?
Thanks in anticipation

cashcaptain - You will find this at "News" on the 1st

LONDON (AFX) - The appointment of administrators at vehicle manufacturer Mayflower Corp PLC has scared off bid interest from Melrose PLC as the AIM-listed cash shell said it no longer wants to pursue acquisition talks.

'Melrose reserves its position to make an offer for the shares in the event that Mayflower shares are re-listed,' it added.

Mayflower's financial crisis has been well documented and yesterday it called in the administrators after it was unable to persuade its lenders to give it a stay of execution.

It's self-explanatory about Melrose. At the end of the day what happens is dependant on the administrator. Worse case - your money is gone. As a shareholder you are at the end of the queque when it comes to being paid.

brain2brain - In theory it could do what you ask, but the amounts are quite small so I doubt it.

Little woman

Many thanks for that.

i wonder of anyone can assist pse ...

Q. What is significance of the 'close period' and what is it's relevance i.e when a company issue's a Pre Closed Period Update . I guess it's to do with the end of a certain trading period etc..but half knowledge can be dangerous so vll be grateful for the correct info.

Q.On the companys account's this does appear alot .. don't suppose anyone know's what these terms mean
i.Goodwill amortisation
ii. Goodwill impairment

many thx in anticiaption

The company cannot issue any trading statements but can issue significant news, also directors cannot sell / buy shares in the close period. Hence pre-close trading updates.

2nd Q - not at all sure!

kantona
Goodwill is something that can be on a balance sheet but is not a physical asset. If you bought a shop and its stock that might be worth 50,000, you might have to pay 75,000, the 25,000 being for the reputation that the shop has built up in the area. There is no physical asset but it has some worth in terms of potential sales.

Most analyst when looking at a company's balance sheet will strip out the goodwill, therefore companies look to reduce that value on their balance sheet either in one hit over a period of years (amortisation)

Good answer Jeff ..
