Lock in expiry I'd like to see this company do well, as I've been an on / off investor for some time.........However, the main issue with share price recovery (apart from the obvious cease trading) is the share ownership. The vast majority of the company is still owned by the founders, who I believe (unlike the other original investors who exited earlier this year) can sell from December this year. This is from the JQW site :The following companies are now subject to the Lock in Agreements that restrict them from selling shares without the written consent of Cairn and Argento for a period of one year from 9 December 2014:Holder Current Holding %Tian Sheng Enterprises Limited1 80,150,400 41.4%Champ Public Limited2 29,182,400 15.1%Fortune United Capital Limited 23,680,800 12.2%Cheng Tong International Limited1 12,751,200 6.6%Dong Feng Developments Limited3 7,286,400 3.8%This tells me that in just over 2 months there is around 80% of the share holding which could be sold without notice; and that is only just over a month after the earliest date the suspension could be lifted. Interesting times.

Business as usual Whilst the fall in profits is a bit disappointing, there does not seem to be any fundamental deterioration and, subject to the usual warnings, it is heartening that this conservatively run business is still on track to meet full year profit expectations.

Couldn't help myself o/t Camels Milk Camel milk trading could be worth $10bn if.......www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/feb/22/camel-milk-business-east-africaBrowsing through the food menu at Hamdi's, a Somali restaurant in central Nairobi that is frequented mainly by non-Somali office workers during their lunch hour, one item stands out from the list of delicious Somali cuisine: camel milk tea.Once the sole preserve of nomadic Somali and Middle East communities, camel milk, which is naturally semi-skimmed, three times as rich in vitamin C as cows' milk and packed with antibodies, is increasingly being recognised for its health benefits by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and health conscious consumers.In Nairobi, camel milk is now available in restaurants and supermarkets. For more adventurous foodies, camel milkshakes and camelcino – a cappuccino made with camel milk – can be found in some eateries.But for pastoralist communities in Kenya, who depend on camels for their survival, the hardy animals that can go for 10 days without water offer more than milk in a coffee cup. Unlike cows and goats, camels can produce milk during the dry season and in times of drought – which is why they are considered to be "one half of God" by the Rendille community in north-east Kenya.Their drought-resistant qualities have led the Kenyan government, NGOs and the private sector to start paying attention to what camels have to offer.According to a study commissioned by SNV, a Dutch NGO, an estimated 340m litres of camel milk was produced commercially in 2007, valued at more than 8bn Kenyan shillings ($91m) at the farm level. This makes the sub-sector larger than cotton and comparable with coffee.At the international level, the FAO estimates that camel milk trading could be worth $10bn if key improvements are made and proper marketing is done. With this in mind, the Kenyan government is making a strong effort to strengthen the sub-sector and link pastoralists to wider markets.Advertisement"We are in the process of building a mini dairy processing centre in Garissa. We are also encouraging camel ownership in the communities where camel keeping is not common but the dry land and climate are suitable for camel rearing," says Julius Karuse, executive director at the ministry of livestock development.At the helm of efforts to commercialise camel milk and make it widely accessible to consumers is a small group of women in the town of Isiolo, 235km from the capital, Nairobi. In pastoralist societies, camels are a symbol of wealth and status. Men are usually the de facto owners and women are responsible for milking and selling the milk and other byproducts.Women got together and formed the Anolei co-operative, to share the costs of renting facilities and transportation to send their milk to the lucrative markets of Eastleigh, the Somali enclave in Nairobi, where camel milk sells at more than three times the price of cow's milk."We started as a group of 35 women; now we are 200," says Safia Kulow, the chairwoman of Anolei. "It was very hard at first, and there were many challenges. There was little profit, and we used to send small amounts of milk to Eastleigh via trucks and the buses. Buyers would entrust the driver with the money, and sometimes there were cases of theft, which ate into our profit."Anolei women initially target the Somali community in Eastleigh, but a survey showed there was demand for camel milk from more middle-class communities in places such as Naivasha and Nakuru, which make up about 60% of the market, says Adan Abdi, adviser to the women.www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/feb/22/camel-milk-business-east-africaAt their small shop in Isiolo, Safia talks about how profitable business has become since they scaled up production and pooled resources. To receive payment, the women now use Mpesa, a money transfer service using mobile phones, pioneered in Kenya."Now we are makin

Re: bounce...Sure.. £9.7 million current market cap.A blockbuster deal that will more than likely be bank rolled by the company installing the power station as they need the coal to make things work and Sable are on the road to very big things indeed.A share price 2-3 times the current price would seem fair from here so the current price is a snip for me..Im in..

3.3 to 1% sulfur content ,API 21 to 25. Not the Brent quality of the North Sea, but sand porosity looks to be excellent like the North Sea oil, same as Fulmer platform where oil in sand defeats the pressure to close the contact. From stuff I read.

WYG thirty fifty twenty 24 Sep 2015

at 115p growth confirmed WYG is an infrastructure consultant.It is global and growth!UK infrastructure is booming (good read across to WTM, COST + VLE)and there is growth from spend Euro fragile states money and World bank money in Africa.(I will try to find out from mgt if they benefit for migrant infrastructure spending in Europe)yet 80% + of profits are from the UK.At the AGM today it will be confirmed that the directors had to give back options schemes they had equal to 15% of the share price. These converted at a max up to 150p.Shareholders objected to them and , to me, its logical that now such objections are gone - everyone has an interest in getting the price higher. There is big growth story!3 years ago they said they would reach 9m PBT by Mar 16, (this is market fcsts, EPS = 9p)recently they said they would reach 15m PBT by Mar 18 (market fcsts go to Mar 17 of 9m PBT)so there seems a disconnect between what the directors have said and what market current expects. WYG have talked about acquisitions so I think the difference will come that way.....WYG have £15m of CASH (why would they then want a £25 loan from HSBC?)AGM statementThey say that UK infrastructure is trading strongly - note benefit for WTM, and VLEAlso that order book for euro spend will drive growth for 2016 and beyond.H1 profits are expected to be 2m (as last year)but LY H2 was 4m - this year H2 will be 6m.They can be confident to meet that growth b/c they know of contracts won and will unwind profit as time elapses.....What are they worth?EBITA can reasonably expected to be c.11m 2 years out.MV (with 70m shares = 80m) but adj for CASH is only 65mso they are rated at only 6t EBITDA - that is low and there is a lot of growth to come ......One might expect they be rated at 7t (= 130p),but also if they spend their CASH wisely can increase profit dramatically.....and maybe build a growth country consultancy....The chart....The chart is very positive - golden cross and relative strength.There is a 2 year band of trading between 100p and 115p that they have now broken out of... Such strong relative performance is telling us something and business growth is good,so the chart has forming a flag as it begins stage 2 of growth post 2008 restructuring.All IMHO, DYOR + BoLWYG is in my portfolio

Re: Who needs a Chinese fraud.... Frustrating for management? Yes, I'm sure Mr Richards must be all torn up about the 95% share value destruction he's caused in the past 2 years after cashing out £4.8M when the share price was up at 810p. His salary remains north of $500K per annum with regular bonuses.Poor baby. I really feel for the guy and he has done a great job of sharing the pain with investors.

Re: progress!. Yes, good to see the daily upticks. I'm back here since earlier this week....they were close to 200p in Feb 2013 and are still very tightly held by the ii's.Level 2 never has much stock showing and currently it's still the case. On each side of the mm's bid/ask the total is a mere 6500shrs (!!!), with the ask being split 4000 @ 47p and 2500 @ 49p. One can clearly see why the shares were hot the last time they were in great demand....so few there for so many!I think the SCSW monthly mag had them as a big fav in the past and I wouldn't be surprised to see DGB again featured in one of their future editions. SCSW has a big following and and positive output from them does have a very strong effect.glm

What a load of bull Like I said, 2 years and countingThat RNS was, again, nothing more than a mandatory update of rehashed promises going back more than two yearsExports of lucerne to Middle East? has been bandied since June 2013. Why waste the water in Africa to further waste road and air miles. Just send them the blxxdy milk. Grow some camels in Africa if there is such a business coming in for camels milk in the best hotels of the world. Lucerne must be lucrative for some consultancy thenI appreciate this is only up to June 2015 but it doesnt appear that anything has happened since Feb 2015WHY do they have new trucks, what contracts came in that supports the acquisition. Could be replacing old trucks from previous companies or subsidiaries for all we knowStill too much secrecy and lack of transparency. We may not have much tangible info but we know something is missing. The missing bit is what is really important hereAll I see from this is a replacement for Lonrho and Lonzim, driven by a group of industrialists. The Lonrho model seen by some as colonialist? A need arose for new Pan African company that fitted the new Africa policies?I would wager they they still have a lot of the the old Lonrho and Rollex contracts. Looking at the new director.owners of Lonrho, they had a lot of involvement with Nestle on a global levelFrom research, found in the public domain, I believe Afriag are transporting Nestle group products. Why cant they be telling us some of thatStone fruit season? I cant be bothered to look up the exact RNS but we were advised that the stone fruit exports were going out, then nothing. Did we miss a year?Tuna and Hake, what about that? Was it all just for AfriagSA, which is nothing to do with us and will not be adding to the value of Afriag PLc. Sounds much the same as Lonrho and Lonzim, one company buying and gaining contracts that in effect were only of added value to one company. Shareholders in the other losing outI see that Lidl brand were using Hake from MSF South Africa trawled fish. Did Afriag have any input into that? Or again was it Afriag SAUnfortunately, unless there is some astounding news, there is nothing here that will support any interest from new shareholdersOne positive, if we get further flurries of interest on twitter, you can rest assured they too have been misledNo point in posting further research here, it means nothing. I have researched quite a bit about the Lonrho and Lonzim models. It didnt come out well from a shareholders perspective and didnt see any Lonrho research that would support shareholders of Afriag. In fact I would say it would be an alarm signal to any interested Afriag buyersDirectors of Lonrho and Lonzim name changed to (Cambria Africa) ended up at each others throats. Ended up going to court. Directors of Lonrho didnt come out looking like SaintsI wont post the links. If anyone is interested they will need to do their own researcha bit of a plan, well something had to replace Lonrho and Lonzim to keep the consultancy fees goingwww.afriag.com/docs/default-source/rns-news/investment-in-agricultural-and-logistics-business.pdf?sfvrsn=6Couple of further unexplained things, what was the loan about (as mentioned in annuals)What are the assets held for sale as mentioned in these accounts
