This is a property Development Co floated at 50p

- and now just 8.5p

Having bought several "brownfield" sites and Poole Investments [PIV] which had a lacklustre performance, having been previously a tile company - PIV finished at 5.8 pence (DYOR).

Didn't any of those Investors ( April 08 at 50p) think that "Housing" might be a tad over-supplied? . . . INL now 8.5 (loss is 83%- oops).

Still, there are some venues for mudlarking-about....for the next four years - does anyone know the Directors' Salaries and available cash?
Can they hold-back?
EDIT(19DEc08)- sp up 10% on zero-volume (MM's hoping the extended Credit will make punters pile-in!). Now 7p to buy...oh deary.

On the bounce today after the recent retacement, some were paying premium for larger trades
It seems all buying so far

A very Bullish update a couple month ago, results are due, last Year were 4 October 12

TRADING UPDATE / Tuesday 23 July 2013
Inland Homes PLC

The Board of Inland Homes provides the following update on its activities ahead of its Preliminary Results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2013.
The Group has performed strongly with profitability ahead of market expectations.
House building programme
The decision to substantially increase Inland Homes' own house building programme is proving to be very successful. By the end of June 2013, the Group achieved the sale of 55 homes (2012: 9 homes) generating revenues of GBP11.4 million (2012: GBP1.7 million).
Inland Homes and Drayton Garden Village Ltd ("DGVL") have a combined development programme of 453 homes across seven sites with current forward sales either agreed or contracted at GBP42.5 million.

Land
During the course of the year, a number of notable planning permissions were achieved including 265 plots at Carters Quay, Poole and 101 plots at St John's Hospital, Chelmsford, Essex.
Inland Homes also witnessed strong demand for its 'land with planning permission' and in the financial year just ended, the Group disposed of 355 plots (2012: Nil) generating revenues of GBP15.35 million; DGVL sold a further 76 plots (2012: 116 plots) realising revenues of GBP5.30 million (2012: GBP6.7m).
Despite an increasingly competitive land market, prior to the year end Inland Homes secured further opportunities including options over a number of sites and exchanged contracts for the unconditional purchase of four further sites for a total consideration of GBP9.0 million. These opportunities provide the potential for an additional 366 residential plots. Our objective remains - to increase our land bank year on year whilst growing the number of plots built out and sold.

Group finances
After considerable investment in land and work in progress, including the payment of deferred consideration of GBP6.1 million, the Group finished the financial year with cash balances of GBP12.2 million and net borrowings of GBP3.7 million.
DGVL has also made a further reduction of the outstanding deferred consideration which further increases Inland Homes' profit share from DGVL to 74.4%. The Board expects Inland Homes' profit share to increase to 90% by the end of March 2014.
Summary
We are experiencing strong interest from both developers and housing associations for plots with planning consent and post the financial year-end we remain in dialogue with a number of parties in this regard.
Stephen Wicks, Inland Homes' Chief Executive commented:
"The Board is delighted to provide this trading update reporting a strong performance by the Group with profitability ahead of market expectations.

We have positioned Inland Homes with a clear sustainable strategy for the future with the following key characteristics:
-- growing the size and quality of our underlying land bank year on year;
-- increasing our direct house building activities to become a major regional house builder;
-- to maintain the core activity of selling consented building plots to other developers; and
-- keep a strong focus on our very healthy financial position. We look forward to updating the market and our shareholders in more detail when we report our Preliminary Results." 23 July 2013

Site Acquisition

Inland Homes is pleased to announce that it has exchanged unconditional contracts to purchase two empty office buildings in Station Road, Gerrards Cross, which was recently described as Britain's third wealthiest postcode*, Buckinghamshire.

In accordance with new legislation brought in by the Government in May 2013 to promote office to residential conversion, Inland Homes has applied to South Bucks Council under "prior approval notification" procedures that it intends to convert the buildings to residential units.

The buildings, which total 13,000ft², will convert into 30 apartments and satisfy the criteria set out in the new legislation. It is anticipated that all the units will be available for private sale.

It is intended that work will start on the development in January 2014.

on today's results

Inland Homes on firm foundations – Buy at 40p

Aim-listed Inland Homes (AIM:INL) has produced strong full year results and is a firm buy at 40p.

The developer and house-builder increased profits for the year ended June 30 to £5.2m (2012: 1.6m), on revenues of £31.1m (2012: £6.1m). The record results were driven by a combination of increased plot sales to developers and a growing focus on housebuilding activity in order to maximise the value of the group’s land bank.

The company upped its dividend fourfold to 0.27p a share, payable on January 6, 2014 to shareholders on the register as of December 6.

Inland’s year end cash balance was £12.2m compared with £0.6m a year ago, while reported net asset value (NAV) per share was 28.7p (2012: 27p). Underlying NAV is 34p, as its Drayton Garden Village development adds 5p of profit entitlement.

Stephen Wicks, Chief Executive, commented: “It has been a very good year for Inland. Our strategic move to increase the group’s housebuilding activity has proved to have been well timed, while we continue to make progress in growing our land bank in terms of both size and quality.

“The group is well financed and with market conditions in our favour, we are confident of making further progress throughout the course of this financial year and beyond.”

In a note issued today House broker Finncap increased its target price from 50p to 60p. Its analyst Duncan Hall commented: “Inland has grown its land bank to 2,306 plots and is beginning to harness the development upside through a progressive house-building programme. Unit sales will rise quickly from 55 in 2012 to over 240 by 2015. We raise our target price to 60p (reflecting 1.8 times the NAV multiple), with the upside potential to come from the land bank gearing to land prices and the positive cash flow from housing sales once the initial ramp-up has passed.”

Impressive candle.

One of Simon Thompson's picks! And a lovely minor breakout. Should settle at 50p and then towards Finncap target price of 60p!

Very happy with a closing price of 49.25 but the company is in a sweet spot operating in the south east. I am sure 60p will be within reach, may take a while though.

Land Update - Transactions on three new sites with total GDV of £115 million

Inland Homes, the specialist housebuilder and brownfield land developer, today announces that it has recently exchanged contracts for the purchase of a site at Southampton in Hampshire and entered into options over two sites in Little Chalfont and Holmer Green, both of which are in Buckinghamshire. These sites have the potential for 620 plots.

The seven acre site at Southampton is the home of the former Meridian television studio, located to the east of Southampton city centre in a very prominent location fronting the River Itchen. It was purchased from West Register, which is part of The Royal Bank of Scotland. Inland Homes intends to create a residentially led development, comprising up to 350 residential units along with commercial space, with a planning application anticipated to be submitted in the second half of this calendar year. Consideration for the site has been agreed in a phased manner, with an initial payment of approximately 7.5 per cent of the total agreed consideration paid on exchange of contracts.

The Group intends to seek planning permission for up to 200 residential units at Little Chalfont and up to 90 residential units on the nine acre site at Holmer Green.

The combined potential gross development value of these three sites amounts to £115m.

Following the above transactions the Group's land bank is as follows:

Owned with planning consent (including those managed on behalf of Drayton Garden Village) 992

Owned/contracted without consent 843

Plots controlled or terms agreed without consent 1,730

Total 3,565

Trading Update

The Board of Inland Homes today provides the following update on trading ahead of its preliminary results announcement for the twelve months ended 30 June 2014, which will be announced in September 2014.

Inland has delivered a strong performance in the year to 30 June 2014 and will report preliminary results that are ahead of market expectations. The Group has made progress in all areas of its operations, significantly growing its landbank, delivering a substantial increase in the number of residential unit completions and continuing to generate value from sales of land with planning permission to volume housebuilders.

Expanded housebuilding programme developing according to plan and delivering results

As previously reported, the Group took a strategic decision to increase its housebuilding activity in order to take advantage of market conditions and extract maximum value from Inland's landbank. There has been a substantial increase in the number of residential unit completions, with the housebuilding activity playing an increasingly important role in generating Group profits.

In the financial year, Inland completed the sale of 114 (2013: 55) open market residential units (including the units being managed on behalf of Drayton Garden Village Limited ('DGVL')) delivering substantially increased gross revenues.

Inland Homes' share of profit for the provision of development services provided by the Group to DGVL has also increased to the maximum limit of 90 per cent.

Margins generated on the sale of residential units have continued to improve and are ahead of budgeted expectations, reflecting continuing strong demand for housing in the areas in which Inland operates. The Government's Help to Buy scheme remains a key selling tool, with 54 per cent of the Group's total private residential sales being made through the scheme.

Currently, the Group has 492 units under construction across nine sites (including the construction of 150 units managed for DGVL) with a record position of forward sales either agreed or contracted of £57.5 million (including sales managed on behalf of DGVL). Of particular note is the development of 152 units at West Plaza in Ashford where forward sales are currently £22.5million.

Continued landbank growth

The Group's overriding strategic goal is to continue to grow its landbank and add value by using its core skill set of navigating the planning system in order to secure planning permissions. Inland has had a highly productive year in this aspect of its operations, delivering total landbank growth of 57 per cent since 3 October 2013.
Demand for Inland's consented land from housebuilders remains strong, with 169 plots sold during the period (including plots sold by DGVL). The Group has recently received planning consent for 253 residential plots on two sites in Woolwich, South East London (152 plots) and in Ipswich (101 plots).

Balance sheet remains robust; sufficient financial firepower to drive future growth

The Group's cash balance stood at £11.2 million at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: £8.9 million). Work-in-progress increased by approximately 40% to £93.6 million since 31 December 2013, as a result of the Group's expanded housebuilding activity and the increase in its landbank. As expected this increase in working capital requirements has led to net borrowings, including the Zero Dividend Preference Shares, rising to £28.8 million as at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: £14.7 million).

Well positioned to exploit market opportunities in all areas

With a robust balance sheet and continuing strong demand from housebuilders, housing associations and the private rented sector, Inland is well placed to capitalise on its substantial land bank.

The Group remains confident of delivering further expansion of its activities in the current financial year, whilst continuing to focus on increasing its landbank in order to lock in long-term value.

Stephen Wicks, Inland Homes' Chief Executive commented:

"Inland has had a very strong year and I am delighted with the progress the Group has made. We are delivering on our strategic goal of significantly increasing the underlying net asset value of the Group.

"We continue to assess a number of attractive land acquisition opportunities and this, combined with the strong demand for consented land leaves me highly confident that the Group will continue its strong progress in the future."
