The suspicious phone calls keep coming - same "too good to be true" tentative offer to purchase your shares for a client.
Refused to give any personal details and instead tried to get their contact details for my own verification purposes and they hung up - what does that tell you - there's some wicked people out there preying on the unwary.
btw - gave up on this share years ago - is there still a pulse?

They reckon some parties want to take over Artisan due to the amazing patents and licences they own and that they already have 41% of shareholders subscribed. They're prepared to pay between £3 and £5 per share.

Sounds like an utter load of fradulent claptrap so I sent them packing. Wonder if anyone else may have been contacted, if not to be forewarned in case they come after you. I've had boiler rooms after me before, but never finding me through Artisan.

If it turns out to be true then I'll be kicking myself (after I've eaten my hat). Surely iii would be abuzz if any of this was true.

Artisan UK was marked up 25 per cent to 15p after the property minnow announced the sale of a building in a business park in Cambridgeshire. Artisan said the sale would provide around £1m of working capital after paying off a £2.25m mortgage.

Ultimately the small private shareholders have been screwed, and either diluted out, or frozen out, or managed out through various ingenious restructuring wheezes, (or reliance on apathy?) and that's scant reward for their loyalty and capital! Shame on you, greedy so and so's! You will regret it one day! Stevens will have to stump up more money to have a chance that banks will support i.m.o and he will not want to share the business with us. Will he put his house up as security? Doubt it. Will he come to shareholders for more capital? Not likely methinks based on his past record. Once bitten!

At the company's AGM, Artisan (UK)'s chairman Michael Stevens said trading conditions are the toughest the residential and commercial property developer has ever faced.

This has led to a drop in the Artisan share price of more than 10%.

This is making it more difficult to complete sales of new homes. Stevens believes that there is underlying demand in the housing market but buyers need to be more confident about the economy and be able to obtain loans more easily for things to turn up. Four bedroom homes are generating the most interest at the moment.

Artisan's NAV was £13.5m at the end of June 2010 but net debt was £18.5m. That debt needs to be renewed by 1 July 2011 and Artisan is negotiating with its bank.

House builder Artisan (ART) reported reduced losses for the year to 30 June 2010 but revelations that the trading environment remains difficult sent its shares down 5p to 30p. Pre-tax losses for the full year narrowed from 8.1 million pounds a year earlier to 1.9 million pounds, benefiting from a modest recovery in the investment market. In spite of this, and with the need to maintain banking covenants and renew banking facilities, it is likely that additional debt or equity funding may be required, which could lead to future shareholder dilution, the restructuring of the group's subsidiary operations or possible mergers.
