Trading update, May 2013
“We have made good progress in Extra Care. In the year to 30 April 2012 we reached financial close on 27 homes. In the year to 30 April 2013 we reached financial close on 60 homes and in the year to 30 April 2014 we expect further significant growth. This expectation is supported by the signature of a Development Agreement with Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC) to deliver over 200 homes for the over 55s. NCC will invest over £4m of a total project value in excess of £20m. In addition the Company has signed a Joint Venture Agreement in the North East to deliver 300 homes over 3 to 5 years.

Preliminary result, June 2013
"We announced on 10 May that the Company had recently won two contracts in our Extra Care business. The first with Nottinghamshire County Council is to deliver over 200 homes for the over 55s and the second is a joint venture agreement to deliver 300 homes over three to five years in the north east. This has meant that our pipeline has grown to GBP295m as analysed in the Business review section."

Steady buying today @17.45p - same as yesterday, sp looks ready to tick up.

Large seller out of the way - and the expected tick up.

On the steady march again today. Is that a bowl forming on the chart? :-)

There's a shortage of stock here, it's difficult to buy any except than over the asking price.

The remaining 2,125,000 share options have been granted to senior management of the Company.

£21m plan for 100 homes on site of former Eastwood Primary School


By Nottingham Post | Posted: October 29, 2013

By Alexander Britton

DETAILS of a £21 million development of more than 100 homes in Eastwood have been revealed.

The development is planned for the site of the former Eastwood Primary School, which closed in 2004 and was demolished a year later.

The site at Walker Street has since been derelict but the new plans are for 140 one and two-bedroom apartments and bungalows, including 30 extra-care units reserved for residents who will have their support paid for.

The new development will also have space for communal facilities such as a cafe, hairdressing salon, well-being clinic, fitness room, library and IT studio.

When the scheme was announced, former Eastwood mayor Brian Griffin said: "Anything which will make up the losses we have seen in care for the elderly is a good thing.

"A lot of people in the town couldn't understand when a care home in the town was sold off and demolished.

"We have a lot more elderly people than we used to so they need looking after."

The new homes will replace those lost at the Beauvale Court care home, which was demolished in 2010.

Notts County Council is proposing to invest £2.1m in the scheme, which will also benefit from a £19.2m investment from Ashley House Plc and will be built by Kier Construction.

Residents of the area can find out more about the scheme at a consultation event next Monday.

It takes place between 3pm and 7pm at St Mary's Church, Church Street, Eastwood.

The new development would be similar to Hilton Grange, in West Bridgford, and Moorfield Court, in Southwell.

Yvonne Woodhead, vice-chairman of the county council's adult social care and health committee, said: "We want to increase the choice available to older people needing support and extra-care offers its residents greater independence than traditional residential care with the comfort of on-site care staff."

Jonathan Holmes, chief executive of Ashley House, said: "We are keen to speak to local people to hear their views and discuss what this exciting scheme has to offer."

Trading update due out soon. Interesting chart.

Next immediate resistance is probably 25p and there is a nice bowl forming on the chart in the header which goes up to the 80p level in 2010.

Impressive.

MMs short of stock here - current offer price quoted as 24.75p and the latest buy of 40k was at 25.25p.

Looks ready to bounce again after the recent dip - some buyers paying above the offer price.

Up and running early this morning and about to have another go at breaking the stubborn 25p resistance level.

Ditto post 16 ! Keeps looking at 25p then retracing again for a short time.

Broken through the 25p resistance at the third attempt and looks ready to fly North now.

Nice finish today - long term chart from 2009 says this has a lot of mileage left in the next six to twelve months as a recovery play.

Buyers paying over the offer price again - following on from yesterday. Chart looks very promising.

Nice little intraday reversal starting now, looks ready for the next leg-up.

Progress update & Posting of Interim report



Ashley House plc, the health and community care property partner is pleased to announce that the LIFT scheme at Eltham, where the Company has acted as Development Partner to the Bromley Bexley and Greenwich LIFT company, has reached financial close. This has provided a significant cash inflow into the business with payment of the Company's fees.

The scheme in Eltham is a Community Hospital that will house two GP practices serving the needs of almost 16,000 patients. There will be a GP walk-in service and diagnostic suites that will give GPs and other health professionals access to equipment including ECG, non-obstetric ultrasound, echocardiogram and x-ray. There will be 40 intermediary care beds, out-patient consulting rooms with the capacity to treat around 32,000 people per year, as well as a minor surgery suite to deliver up to 1,500 low complexity procedures per year. A variety of community services will also be relocated to the hospital, such as mental health, community nursing, physiotherapy and paediatric departments enabling the facility to serve the health and well-being needs of thousands of local people in Eltham and Greenwich.


The Company has also received part payment of monies owed relating to a LIFT scheme previously aborted by the NHS in the Midlands and is close to agreeing the final payment. We shall update the market when this is fully received.

These two receipts, which will be in excess of £3m, mean the Company has cleared all items of accrued income or outstanding payment from its balance sheet that were significantly impacted by the abolition of the PCTs.

Ashley House plc also announces that its interim report for the six months ended 31 October 2013 has been posted to shareholders.

Copies of the interim report can also be obtained from the registered offices of the Company at 6 Cliveden Office Village, Lancaster Road, Cressex Business Park, High Wycombe HP12 3YZ. A PDF version is also available to download from the Company's website at www.ashleyhouseplc.com.

Tipped somewhere today I believe and a nice bowl forming on the chart.

Tipped by Faraday Research this morning, hence the reason for the sudden share spike.

Fallen flat on its face again.

Trading Update





Ashley House plc ("Ashley House" or the "Company") the health and community care property partner provides a trading update.



Our updates over the last few months have stated that in order to reach market expectations for profits in the financial year ending 30 April 2014, the Company would need to achieve planning and exchange legal contracts on four out of six extra care schemes.



Planning remains likely to be achieved on enough schemes in the required timescale. However, completing legal agreements with prospective tenants and purchasers is proving slower than anticipated. We continue to have very positive discussions around appropriate funding structures with both Registered Provider tenants and funders, but whilst we remain confident that all six schemes will successfully close, we are no longer confident that, without compromising our commercial position in order to accelerate completions, they will do so before our financial year end. It is therefore likely that the Company will not make a profit in the current financial year. The profits attributable to schemes that do not close prior to year end, are accordingly likely to contribute to profitability in 2014/15.

After recent discussions with some significant shareholders, the Board reaffirms its preference to take the necessary time to achieve strong commercial agreements with the right structure rather than press for completion at the expense of longer term shareholder value.

The Board is very positive about the value being created in the extra care market. Over the last few months the Company has opened discussions with a number of institutional funders looking to provide long term capital for the schemes it produces. This has led to receipt of indicative project funding proposals which the Board is now exploring. It is possible that the delay in closing some of these schemes may allow some of them to be funded this way which could enhance value.

The Board will continue to provide updates of progress with trading and the evolving funding strategy as appropriate.

Separately, the Company can confirm that it has agreed to drawdown a further £1.5m development finance from a facility managed by Rockpool Investments LLP in support of Ashley House's development strategy.
