Previously Crown Corp, CCO. Institutional interest now and the Co has changed it's name for a fresh beginning. Still very speculative, but what isn't? but just a case of investing the huge amount of Cash sitting in a Brazilian bank a/c. There's no real difference here to an emerging markets investment fund apart from the obvious and very attractive discount to NAV of approx 75% !!!!!

MMs are indeed accumulating - look at the trades today, then see the price hike tomorrow.

This from the Company statement in July remember :
"I present to the meeting a Pro forma Balance Sheet and from this you will see
that our net assets are in excess of 350m. We have approximately 155 million
shares in issue, which equates to 225p per share.
Yes, 225p per share Cash!!
90p a true bargain that will not be around for long. see the statements at CCO (previous name of co.)

Langbar exits South America, turns investment to Europe

LONDON (AFX) - Langbar International Ltd, the old Crown Corporation, said it has successfully negotiated an agreed and managed exit of its cash deposits in South America.
This is in order to provide the company with ready access to these funds to invest in the developing Langbar operations.
Cash deposits acquired from Crown Pharmaceuticals Ltd of 294 mln usd have been successfully transferred to a Langbar International head office account of ABN Amro BV in Holland. The interest rate on these deposits has been agreed at 3.5 pct per year.
The transfer of these deposits into Europe was conditional on certain undertakings in respect of potential Brazilian tax liabilities, in the event that any may arise. Langbar said it will therefore, in the interim statement to be issued later this month, prudently be providing the sum of 25 mln usd in respect of undetermined tax liabilities.
As to the balance of the Langbar funds on deposit in Brazil of some 370 mln usd, agreement has been reached with bankers in Brazil to invest the remaining funds in significant real estate assets in Europe.
Whilst the property market in the UK remains buoyant, and Langbar may well invest in the future in the UK, the board said it believes increasing shareholder value can be better achieved at the present time by investing in European projects, mainly in Portugal and Spain, which it intends to pursue with experienced joint venture partners.
These will be held in a new Langbar subsidiary, the European Property Investment Company ('EPIC'). The company is in the process of conducting due diligence and said it shall provide further details for shareholders in due course.
Langbar Capital Ltd, the investment and advisory business, will concentrate almost wholly in the UK small and mid-cap market and has a number of interesting
investment situations under consideration, the company added.
Langbar also said today it has acquired 100,000 ordinary shares in Zander Group Ltd at 135 pence per share. Langbar Capital already holds options on 500,000 shares in Zander, exercisable at 75 pence.
Stuart Pearson, the chief executive of Langbar International, is a non executive director of Zander which is intending to seek admission to AIM within twelve months, subject to market conditions.
Zander is involved in the regeneration of desert and arid land and the clean up of contaminated land.
Langbar also said that because of the number and quality of opportunities being presented to the company at the present time, it is unlikely that capital will be returned to shareholders.
The group said it expects to make further announcements regarding potential investments shortly.
