22-09-09	Findel PLC - AGM Statement & Trading Update	RNS
RNS Number : 4261Z Findel PLC 22 September 2009 For Immediate Release: 22 September 2009 Findel plc ("Findel" or the "Company") AGM Statement and Trading Update At the Company's Annual General Meeting to be held today, Keith Chapman, Executive Chairman of Findel, will make the following statement: "We continue to operate in challenging times and, as anticipated by management, like for like sales from continuing operations of the Group for the first 23 weeks of the financial year are 5% below the same period last year. In line with our stated strategy, the Group has continued to focus on cash generation to further reduce net debt. The Home Shopping division has had a satisfactory start to the new season albeit from a lower customer base, following last year's strategic decision to scale back recruitment. The early recruitment campaigns for this year are going well, with the business experiencing an encouraging increase in average order value. The Education Supplies division continues to experience difficult trading conditions caused predominately by uncertainty over public sector funding. The division is adapting to current market conditions and a number of efficiencies have been identified and are being implemented while further cost savings and market initiatives are also being planned. These will go some way to help mitigate the effect of lower sales over time. We were pleased to recently welcome Eric Tracey and David Sugden as non-executive Directors, both with strong experience that will further strengthen the Board." The Company will announce its Interim Results on 3 December 2009. For further information, please contact: `Findel plc +44 (0)1943 864686` Keith Chapman, Chairman Patrick Jolly, Chief Executive Chris Hinton, Finance Director `Financial Dynamics +44 (0)20 7831 3113` Jonathon Brill / Billy Clegg / Caroline Stewart This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange END AGMLBMRTMMJTBAL More

	Are you still holding FISHX? I havent looked at these in a long time but still havent changed my opinion on them either. Just cant see them ever going anywhere fast.

	HI Informed, nice to see you back. Wondered when you would appear. Now you don't want me to be replaying your price predictions when the placing was delivered as you were off the mark that time and missed the opportunity that time. Must admit share price has held up reasonably well in recent weeks, obviously needs to find support and it is drifting. cheers, parkster More \| View thread (4) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	That's what this SP is doing. There is no new news and today the US labour stats are bad - unemployment now over 10% in the US. In the UK, we are still in recession and unemployment is also rising. What does this mean? The consumer is "struggling to come back" because he has no money. Add to that Findel's portfolio of "cheap tat" which are discretionary purchases at best ... and, you'll have a decline. I can see this drifting downwards toward the 25p open offer price of recent times. DYOR. More \| View thread (4) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down
