Cellcast - sell fast.

Duke Royalty (DUKE) defers 2 loans, swaps another for more royalties. Boosts rev by at least £3.7m over 5 years.
Cellcast (CLTV) FY18 poor as foreseen in Nov trading stmt. Poor trading has continued plus higer taxes in Kenya saw reduced fees for our technical and consultancy services to overseas gaming and lottery operators. More cost cuts. "There has therefore been increased focus by the Directors on the long-term viability of the economic model that the group utilises which has prompted the Directors to undertake a review as to the prospects for the group going forward. The Board is currently exploring all options available to the group." What a clunker.
Conygar Investment Co (CIC) H1 big loss due to 100% (£18.5m) write down of Haverfordwest land value due to weak demand there. NAV NAVsh 179p down 22.3p despite buying back 5.4% of shares. How can the land be worth zero? Will help future profit of course. I'm not a fan of the CEO Robert Ware.
Hardide (HDD) H1 rev up 9%, pretax loss doubled to £650k. Guides RY rev at the lower end of market expectations. Blames some short-term disruption with one customer and the unpredictability of larger customer projects.

AB Dynamics has turned from a sleeper into a stormer. Up 160% in the last year and just 40% in the last month, my position in it is now up 450%.

This offer is attractive enough given the (current) 500p discount to the market price. But it's only one new share for each existing 86 shares, so even a full allocation is not going to move the needle much. I will be maybe 100 quid up on the deal with a full allocation.

Great business though.
