There are some shares that you wouldn't touch with a bargepole, and at first glance of the financial accounts and history of Fundamental e-Investments (FEI) then this stock would fit firmly into that category. But, the shares have come alive a bit over the last couple of days on heavy buying volume that forced the company to issue an RNS saying that it didn't know the reason for the increase at 'this stage'. Therefore, firmly implying that something will be afoot over the coming months.

I have been watching FEI for months and adding as the price has fallen (due to a distressed seller and insti) moving out as I probably know much more than other investors about what is happening with this stock that will be off many investors' radar. This is a tiddler with a market cap of only 2.4m and, of course, there are pros and cons investing in this type of stock just like there are with warrants but only being that much more liquid. FEI looks very speculative at first glance but when you dig deeper and realise the hidden assets then you begin to realise that this is the type of share where fortunes can be made!

Until last year FEI was buried in with the living dead on the LSE, however new management moved last year as new Chairman Stephen Thomson looked to work a near miracle in turning the company round. This is an ideal shell with an ultra low share price, very low market value, solid assets, and control by a quality management team.

If you are confident then you can move in and sit with the new team and multiply your shares over and over again but not one to trade in and out of. We are talking about management who have done this trick several times before so we are managing our risk accordingly. The management team here drastically reduces the risk profile.

FEI was a complete basket case of a stock with little hope until the new management boarded the operation with very little fuss around 18 months ago. The idea being that the new team would save the company from almost certain liquidation and sell off any assets that they may have, and pay off the debt, and then sit with some cash as a clean cash shell. This they did by selling off various small business interests and by having a share placing towards the end of 2005 by issuing 703,926,304 shares at a price of 0.125p thus raising 879,908 before expenses. Due to some warrants being exercised recently the share count is now 1,089,826,447 shares.

The originalboarding and placing operation was as low key as you can possibly get but remember that the new management team don't want a soar away stock price at this particular stage - they want it low so they can get as many shares as they possibly can for themselves. The new management team stuffed their pockets full of shares and put their money where their mouths are. Stephen Thomson bought 40m shares in the placing and Jonathan Nelson bought 80m shares and these guys have a big proven track record. Thomson is the guy who turned Turnpike into Medical Solutions several years ago which became a near 100 bagger at one point!

An interesting non-executive director is Dr Al-Dimashki who owns 25.4% of the company in addition to his other operation Mubeen Corporation which owns a further 24.9%. Thomson and Nelson each own 7.34% and 10.38% respectively with another institution owning 11% from memory so the shares are tightly held. Directors also have options (55m each for Thomson and Nelson) at 0.35p issued back in September before a distressed seller wanted out and savaged the shares.

So, what are the attractions of FEI? Well, they happen to own a piece of land pretty near me which has planning permission for 72 apartments and that will be worth in the region of 2m quite easily that valuation is not listed on the balance sheet. Local gossip is that the land is starting to get developed after February once the existing tennant has cleared out which they are in the process of doing this week. Then there is the further investment in a technology company as stated by the company some months ago.

Dr Al-Dimashki is an interesting character with investments in many technology companies and he will no doubt have something to bring to the table on that front but he has quite an impressive background too:

http://www.financial.de/newsroom/englisch/54841.html

'Dr. Oussama is currently the Managing Director of Middle East Development, LLC, Dubai, UAE. This organization is primarily involved in major real estate investment and with interests in electric power project development. It has grown rapidly during his governance from a modest asset base with 3 staff to a current staff of 45, assets exceeding CAD $150,000,000 and projects having a completion value of CAD $750,000,000.'

The principal advantage of FEI is simply that it can make larger gains in a rising market and could in fact lead to a pretty spectacular profit over a longer period. You could not hope to match this type of gain elsewhere imo but it will not be for everyone. I have taken a much longer view for FEI by investing some in my pension fund too and it may be worthwhile buying some and sitting and watching the action unfolding over the next year.

This does look very interesting and well worth a look imo.

Fundamental-E Inv Final Results

Fundamental E Investments plc (the "Company" or "Fundamental")

Preliminary Results for the year to 30 September 2006

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Results

I am pleased to report that the Group's results for the year ended 30 September 2006 show a profit on ordinary activities before taxation of 51,000 (2005 - loss of 1,544,000) on a turnover of 677,000 (2005 - 9,057,000). The profit for the year is in the main attributable to the sales of the trading assets of Kilsyth Property Developments Limited (formerly Wilson & Garden Limited), recoveries made in respect of subsidiaries disposed of in previous years and the forfeiture of shares previously issued to satisfy the purchase of software licences.

As the directors are intent on growing the company any internally generated cash is being used for this purpose and as such no dividend is being declared in these results (2005 - 0p per share).

On 5 December 2005 the Group disposed of the trade of its loss making Wilson and Garden subsidiary, yielding a book profit of 241,000. During the year the Group was also able to release provisions of 227,000 in respect of guarantees given against former subsidiaries bank facilities.

On 26 January 2006 the Group concluded new banking facilities with the Clydesdale Bank, enabling it to develop its site in Kilsyth, Scotland. Planning approval for the development of 72 apartments was granted on 14 March 2006. The first of two options over adjoining property was exercised in October 2006.

On 2 August 2006 various warrant holders exercised warrants over 140,400,000 new Ordinary `A' shares in the Company with the proceeds amounting to 175,500.

Financial Position

As at 30 September 2006 the Group had cash resources of 180,000. At the same date the Group had drawn down 465,000 against its Development Loan facility with the Clydesdale Bank.

Strategy

The strategy of the Group is to continue to develop the site at Kilsyth, and other suitable property opportunities as they become available and to invest in small and medium sized technology led, and other businesses in the industrial sector in Europe and Africa which could benefit from access to capital markets using an AIM listed parent company.

Current Trading

The Group's current business activity is to develop its wholly owned property site in Kilsyth. The tenant on our Kilsyth site vacated the premises at the end of April 2007 which has now allowed the site development to move forward. It is planned that the demolition of the current buildings on the site be started in July 2007 and that construction work be commenced in October 2007. It will be pleasing to see this development start and see the profit potential of the site realised in what is an appreciating Scottish property market.

Using the considerable property expertise within the board other property opportunities are being considered and if found to offer good returns will be pursued.

Up until the end of April 2007 the Group continued to receive rental income from the purchasers of the Wilson & Garden business from their occupation of the Kilsyth site.

Forfeiture of Issued Shares and Change in Articles

In last year's Chairman's statement I detailed the board's intention to impose a share forfeiture on Castell Trading Investment, SL, in respect of inadequate services provided to the Group. I can confirm that the Company's Articles were altered to allow such a forfeiture and on 21 June 2006 46,020,918 Ordinary `A' shares were cancelled.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their support at this time. This is particularly relevant since on 27 March 2007 the Company's shares were suspended as it was unable to issue its annual financial statements within the required timeframe. The Board regrets this inconvenience to shareholders. We do not anticipate a further occurrence of this nature.

Market value a piddling 2m with a likely profit of 1.5m from the development.

The company is going to develop the land themselves and still the reverse takeover to look forward too. Very positive encouraging statements today!

Nice rise on friday afternoon and I would expect bigger rises next week! A cracking time to buy at these levels!

AGM should now follow in the last week of July and should provide more updates especially on demolition of the site, I like the use of the words 'profit potential' in the finals:

"It is planned that the demolition of the current buildings on the site be started in July 2007 and that construction work be commenced in October 2007. It will be
pleasing to see this development start and see the profit potential of the site
realised in what is an appreciating Scottish property market".

Continued rise today with good volume thus far.

L2 closed the same at 1 v 1.

Cannot still buy online with etrade and most online brokers hence the volume dying out today. Still got good rise and bit of volume today including the 2.50 million buy. At key resistance point of 0.27 pence which should be broken in the next day or so hopefully then into a nice uptrend!

Level 2 still the same. A 1 million buy has come through at 0.27 pence.

Epic is wrong.
