Estate agent offers 80% discount to shift stock.

Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) has raised £6.4m at 49p, a 4% discount, from new investors based in Switzerland and two NEDs. The NEDs have bought 540k! AVO raised £33.3m this year already. Some v negative articles on ShareProphets.
Countrywide (CWD) H1 rev down 9%. Adjusted EBITDA £10.7m (£27.8m), slightly better than recent guidance. Firm placing and open offer of 1.4bn shares at 10p (an 80% disc!) to raise £129m net. Huge dilution of existing 238m shares.
Porta Communications (PTCM) H1 trading: ahead of management expectations on an Adjusted EBITDA basis which will be no more than 15% down YoY. Also positive discussions with its lender re refinancing of £5.2m convertible loan that matured on 29 June. Er, so they defaulted? Can't see an RNS about that.
Novacyt (NCYT) Warns FY on rev due to underperformance of the NOVAprep business but cost cutting means EBITDA profitability [sic] is expected to be be higher than previously anticipated.
Eservglobal Limited (ESG) H1 trading. Orders received exceeded forecasts at €7.7m. "This, together with the strong pipeline for the second half, puts the Company in a strong position to reach the breakeven target for the year. Only €1.2M of the €7.7M in new orders has been recognised as revenue in 1H18." H1 operating costs down €2.2m. "t the fundraising in October 2017, it was expected that two large agreements would soon be signed to exploit the HomeSend network. One of those was signed and is expected to go live in the September 2018 quarter, and the other remains a live situation with the agreement still expected despite the delay."
Sinclair Pharma (SPH) Firm offer deadline extended to 16 August.

Share (SHRE) H1 rev up 15% but EPS -0.2p (0.0p) due to new regulations, principally MiFID II and GDPR. Did not find warning about this in previous RNSs this year. MiFID II has lengthened many offline interactions. Has taken steps to mitigate this. Underlying profit after tax £50k (£250k). Has grabbed 38k ex-Beaufort clients. Outlook: "Benefits of these new acquisitions are expected to be felt from Q4 2018, and the Bank of England's recent increase in the base rate will assist in raising interest income." They have some work to do to hit F/C of 0.47p EPS.


Notes (do not rely on the data)
SHRE: Price=25.1. Cap=40m. F/C for current FY*: EPS= 0.47, Prospective PE= 53.4, Revenue=NA.
Share is a part of the financial service sector. Its core business involves stock broking activities. It also provides custodian services and fund administration services.

Rare public censure from LSE for MUBL.

Phaunos Timber Fund (PTF) rejects firm offer of 49c. Is selling off assets, guides realisation of 54-60c within 6 to 9 months, which would cover 92% of the Portfolio Value. Will all sales proceeds from the Asset Realisation Process as they are received, after allowing for cash reserves to wind-down the Company.
D4T4 Solutions (D4T4) contract wins. "D4T4 has record bookings in H2 In the year to date, and in line with management's expectations, we have been successful in converting a number of significant opportunities from our strong pipeline. This puts us on track to return to more normalised levels of business weighting for H1."
React Group (REAT) keep the lights on placing of £420k at 0.3p, a 21% discount.
PHSC (PHSC) finals. Lots of detail on subsidiary trading but I can't fathom if group result is OK. Q1 trading: rev £1.56m (£1.82m), EBITDA £121,815 (£121,351), which included results for ALS (discontinued). "Highly encouraging growth in revenue and profit from QCS gives us an expectation that overall and on a consolidated basis, 2018/19 will see an improvement on 2017/18."
Castings (CGS) AGM stmt. Demand from main customers remains strong but "the level of reorganisation at CNC Speedwell is such that we do not foresee it returning to profitability during this financial year."
MBL Group (MUBL) RNS late last night. Public censure for failing to report poor trading in Sept 2017 www.londonstockexchange.com/companies-a ... s/ad18.pdf Also will shortly publish Circular and Notice of General Meeting re mooted delisting. This has been a massive crock, with late-as-possible results only the tip of the iceberg of contempt for holders.
French Connection (FCCN) Times says Mashley won't pay HoF concession debts. He'll only pay for sales since Friday. There was wishful talk of pressure on him to pay. Ha!
