jmillskeel - 16 Oct'03 - 17:26 - 7 of 2306

8 million 2.2 mill @ 0.1 2.6 mill 0.05 3 mill 0.048 All good fun

I think that means me me has 15.8 million!

And deb81e has declared a 7 million holding.

me me - 16 Oct'03 - 17:35 - 10 of 2306
Ive got 7,880,658 for the record. See you all Monday of on a long weekend

Sorry just short of 8 mill

matto - 16 Oct'03 - 17:37 - 12 of 2306
Me double counting for you!

matto - 16 Oct'03 - 17:47 - 13 of 2306
I would suggest you guys get organised and get to the AGM on Monday with as many votes as you can muster just so the company don't spring any nasty surprises on you.

Ellemaitch - 16 Oct'03 - 17:49 - 14 of 2306
dont forget my 3 million to your calculations ! nice to see the directors come out with a statement saying they do not know the reason for the sharp movement on this share - that should steady things UP

safman - 16 Oct'03 - 17:50 - 15 of 2306
TOMORROW WE WILL SEE WHETHER OR NOT MMS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY THE B*LLS.. i rate mms, experts, but if they have this wrong... ho ho ho.. to the buyers...

psps - 16 Oct'03 - 17:57 - 16 of 2306
i could only get 333,333 instead of 1 mlm

anyway my holding now is 831,110 (peanuts as compared to others)......

Jeff_V - 16 Oct'03 - 18:00 - 17 of 2306
I doubt the registrar could sort us out in time to vote at the AGM. But, it would be interesting if there were significantly more shares registered to vote than there are in circulation, wouldn't it?

cougar6 - 16 Oct'03 - 18:04 - 18 of 2306
does any one have the resoulations for the agm and proxy form with them on ? prob have the most shares on this board

Jeff_V - 16 Oct'03 - 18:10 - 19 of 2306
The MM gamble is that RSV won't find anyone interested in the shell. I'd think that they need to make it a tad more expensive to be safe on that one. Well, tomorrow should be interesting.

Wonder how wealthy the directors are personally. MBO is the other obvious solution at this value.

jmillskeel - 16 Oct'03 - 18:16 - 20 of 2306
can anybody do a good looking table and volume and i'll put it on the header ??

CRIMEPROTECTION - 16 Oct'03 - 18:17 - 21 of 2306
For the record I hold 3 million, 2 mill @ 0.1 & 1 mill @ 0.05. Never mind see what delights tomorrow brings!

Gantenbrink - 16 Oct'03 - 18:38 - 22 of 2306
I've only just been alerted that there was so much posting on this site having raised queries on other sites.

I hold 3,750,000 and am baffled as to what's going on. game There are far more buys that there are shares.Being relatively new to the game I don't know whether I've struck gold or bought a white elephant.

Any straight forward explanations of what's occurring would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

cougar6 - 16 Oct'03 - 18:43 - 23 of 2306
Its a gamble on this type of share but I feel a bid will come

You guys deserve to be rewarded here.Never seen anything like this!

One question, with all the above having over 3% holdings, why no RNS's?

Good luck for tomorrow.

jmillskeel - 16 Oct'03 - 19:23 - 36 of 2306

easymoney03 - 16 Oct'03 - 19:35 - 39 of 2306
ill be top of that list soon im buying up at least 25 million tomorrow its peanuts but if this company can be sold as a shell i will make big time this is a must buy for all the speculators and gamblers out there,ive traded for 15 years and ive never been so interested in a stock it really is a massive gamble i know but ask yourself what a decent shell costs in todays market??my guess is the mm are trying to buy up huge chunks but first they have to lower the price to let all the suckers jump ship then they will take all see you all at the agm....................

Good rise in the morning would be appreciated especially welcomed by top-ups today.

psps - 16 Oct'03 - 20:36 - 50 of 2306
somehow the sums dont add up.

IF bb have around 78 mln shares out of a total holding of 124mln and surl;ey directors must hold the rest................

so where have the MM got the shares to sell (IF NO ONE HAS SOLD)???????????

JAN8MM - 16 Oct'03 - 20:37 - 51 of 2306
Investigation is welcomed,,, MM's caught in the act... went a bit far..

Opthalmist - 16 Oct'03 - 20:38 - 52 of 2306
They are selling your nominee shares (borrowed from the broker) and going short.
Why do you think they charge you for certs?

rarther - 16 Oct'03 - 20:50 - 53 of 2306
Let's not get carried away here ladies & gents.

Having a big chunk of a company is a very nice feeling, but do you really know what's going on with this company?

Reality check!

Yes the market cap has turned to dust (£70k?) and this could be a 5-bagger if the company does what it has been trying to do (rto), but where are these shares that we are buying coming from? Your "6% of company" could actually be 2% or less if Hannover are in fact selling their shares before they've been given them, as someone pointed out earlier.

"It is proposed that Room Service Group PLC will settle its #216,312.35
indebtedness to Hanover in due course by an issue of ordinary shares in Room
Service Group PLC."

The Market Makers aren't idiots. They can see exactly what we're doing but we're blindfolded. They don't just sell more than 100% of a company for pittance and then pay much more for it back shortly afterwards.

They aren't running short of stock, someone is feeding EVO an endless supply. It is not the directors as the statement issued earlier shows.

How much more is the company going to be diluted and what happens afterwards? 75% of shares in the hands of AFN users?(i.e. 75% back in the hands of the mms within a month or two).

I'm holding 1m for the record, too risky & unclear to be anything other than a punt.

Best wishes to those holding.

VERY QUICK - 16 Oct'03 - 20:54 - 54 of 2306
Hi guys did i really start all this buying madness??? Will hope to buy 10 mill more tomoro if there are any shares left to buy.

VERY QUICK - 16 Oct'03 - 20:55 - 55 of 2306
MM's must be completely mad. Ask for all the share certificates and lets see wot happens. they are well short of stock where are all these shares coming from out of a magic hat??????????

VERY QUICK - 16 Oct'03 - 20:57 - 56 of 2306
Maybe MM's have a secret printer for all the shortfall??????

safman - 16 Oct'03 - 20:57 - 57 of 2306
MMS are not stupid.. or are they on this one?? - normally rate mms but they may be in a pickle tomorrow... so it may seem.. we will have to wait and see...

cougar6 - 16 Oct'03 - 21:04 - 58 of 2306
hannover cant sell shares they have not been issued. and the board have to announce any placing to them. so need the stock exchange to look into this one going to be black friday for some one !!

DP1 - 16 Oct'03 - 21:27 - 59 of 2306
Can someone please explain Hannover - Is this a parent company with deals in insurance and property? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

psps - 16 Oct'03 - 21:34 - 60 of 2306
there should be FULL investigation on RSV trades by LSE on MM ?

i reckon all will come out in the open soon.

rarther - 16 Oct'03 - 21:39 - 61 of 2306
DP1 I don't think anyone knows, the company is so bizarre.

Apparently they are a mining company who bought RSV's debt.

Cannot for the life of me think why they would want to do that...

Anyone care to shed some light?

ps. psps I hold 1m, why don't I get any fame? lol

rarther - 16 Oct'03 - 21:39 - 62 of 2306

rarther,
i will post new holding tomorrow

smraynot - 16 Oct'03 - 21:46 - 64 of 2306
Is it worth buying in at mid point 0.03 first thing tomorrow or are they going into liquidation??

DP1 - 16 Oct'03 - 21:48 - 65 of 2306
I know someone working at Hanover - I'll give him a quick bell

DP1 - 16 Oct'03 - 21:50 - 66 of 2306
Got the answer phone, I'll call again a bit later

smraynot - 16 Oct'03 - 21:51 - 67 of 2306
Cheers,dont want to buy into nothing, can put money down the drain easily.

cougar6 - 16 Oct'03 - 21:51 - 68 of 2306
hanover control about 5 shell companies i think

smraynot - 16 Oct'03 - 21:53 - 69 of 2306
Good luck all for tomorrow and goodnight.

safman - 16 Oct'03 - 21:55 - 70 of 2306
either u guys will be out of pocket.. or the new major sharholders in whatever ltd... all in all mms may be in a spot of bother tomorrow... watch out for buying restrictions...

DPMCQ - 16 Oct'03 - 21:58 - 71 of 2306
Dont own any of these but will be VERY interested to see what happens tommorow.
I am sure there are probably one or two other companies out there that could end up the same way depends on what the outcome of this game is?
Question - don't the peps who bought more than 3% today have to (by LSE law) inform the company or the LSE so an RNS can be issued?

Good Luck to all that hold....

This buying up of a company is very Warren Buffet!!!!

rocket fuel - 16 Oct'03 - 22:17 - 72 of 2306
most of you could have paid half today what you bought for yesterday, and half again tomorrow.

londonmetro - 16 Oct'03 - 22:27 - 73 of 2306
this is where the sums dont add up and we need all parties to make rns to get true picture.... on 28/02/03mr g gold held 25,201,846 ie 20.29%, r pearl owned 18,571,646 ie 14.95%, r cook owned 5,714,280 ie 4.6% that makes a total of 39.84% of company...we hold63.70%

total is 103.54% not withstanding all the smaller holders someone is telling porkies............................

rns's can only sort this out as hannover have not made a rns since feb on the total number of shares held by them it makes it hard to find out total number of shares in issue all i can say is in the last few rns's stock exchange have confirmed to us that as far as they are concerned total no of shares in issue is 124,000,000 so who is lying to us??????????????

should be make a joint approached to stock exchange as we hold just under two thirds of this company as show everyone we are not to be messed with...

good luck to everyone topping up tomorrow ....

alexicacon - 16 Oct'03 - 22:46 - 74 of 2306
londonmetro, It adds up if Hanover had 1000,000,000 shares and wanted to sell as many as they could. Then you lot would only own about 7%.

Here is a list of major shareholders. If ADVFN holders have bought more shares
than exist + some of the holdings listed below, the MMs must be seriously short.
RSV could raise money with a share issue to let the MMs off the hook or the
company could fold up which also lets the likes EVO clean up.

Shares in issue: 124.2m 1p Ords
Major Shareholders Amount % Holding
Gerald Stuart Gold 25,201,846 20.29
Ronald Stuart Pearl  18,571,646 14.95

Okay heres the news for the AGM on Monday, 20th October 2003.

AGM held at RSV Brokers office at 11:00AM

Address
JOHN EAST & PARTNERS LTD
28-30 WORSHIP STREET
LONDON
EC2A 2AH

Tel No.
020 7628 2200

Two new directors are being appointed.

Director 1, Nicholas Greestone
Director 2, Ray Harris

The new proposed company name is going to be Azure Holdings PLC

looks like great fun, but be4 piling in, could someon explain to me the detail of the capital reorganisation...coz i thought i read somewhere that it would mean that Chiddingfold, after converting their £100k loan into 10million shares, would own around 90% of the company...so will the current 124 million shares be turned into 1.24 million shares, ie one share per 100 held?...and if so, why is it then a good investment, or is this why you ahve all been buying so you can stop this happening?...but then if you stop it happening what will happen coz i presume Chiddingfold will jsut demand repayment and it will go bust as it gave all other investments away to Coran?...i think...
jsut asking for info be4 joining in, if i decide to!...ta

It is a well known fact that more shares can be sold than are in issue. While
people hold shares in nominee accounts, billions could be sold but there would
be a problem if people asked for their certificates. The registras would only
allow only shares in issue.

This was in the finals but not very clear. Someone needs to get the circular that accompanied the AGM notice to get full details:

The auditors have drawn attention to the 'going concern' status of the Group
because there are at present no trading businesses while there remain a number
of creditors outstanding. On 3 April 2002, Hanover Capital Group plc ('Hanover
') announced that it was to acquire the outstanding debt of £216,000 from the
creditors of Room Service Group plc.

In the event, Hanover only succeeded in acquiring debt of £119,760 from the
creditors of the Group, leaving £96,740 outstanding. The directors have been
notified that Chiddingfold Investments Limited ('Chiddingfold') has acquired the
Hanover debt and has accordingly become a creditor of the Group.

Your directors have agreed that Chiddingfold will enter into arrangements to
make a loan of £100,000 to the Company, convertible, subject to shareholder
consent, into ordinary shares at 1p per share after the capital reorganisation
referred to below, to enable it to discharge its remaining creditors.

During the course of the year, the company incurred a liability to Coran
Investments Limited ('Coran') for the provision of services. The company has
agreed to discharge this liability by transferring its remaining investments to
Coran. On realisation, Coran shall be entitled to retain the first £50,000 of
sale proceeds with any surplus over £50,000 being shared equally between Coran
and the Company.

Included in the notice of meeting accompanying the financial statements are
details of a capital reorganisation, designed as a first step towards placing
the company in a position to seek an acquisition, which would be a reverse
takeover, intended to restore some value to shareholders.

PaulKent - I think you're probably spot on. The proposed dilution seems about right and these shares may already be being sold by the MMs. If there's a vote at the AGM on it and I believe there will be, presumably the directors will try and force the issue by saying unless the vote is passed the company will have to be put into administration as Chiddingfold will demand immediate repayment of the debt.

on the other posting shows the new proposed directors , one I think was auditor, its the same gang behind many shells, they take fees in shares for doing little. there are more shares being traded than avaible. so it has to be that they are selling short knowing that on monday they will approve the new issue for debt and will have recovered some cash at discount. we need to have agm put off and let the mm and board no how we feel

ha, brugha..fair point...but i think its pretty obvious that one share was bought...but i dont know what it means?!!!

and re the concert party...i presume they would have to prove that parties were acting together "with a view to bid" in order to enforce the "highest price paid in prev 12 months rule"....whereas i think whats happened here is jsut that everyeones bought and then realised they own (possibly) a big chunk of company...

rescuer - 17 Oct'03 - 10:26 - 147 of 2306
Just a couple of points that i've picked up on reading this mornings posts.

1) > there is a sugestion that there may be a dilution at the AGM on Monday, hence EVO's selling this short.

If that were to be the case, EVO's are acting totaly unethicaly, as they are not in a position as anyone else is, to predetermin the outcome of a meeting and the fact that they are gambling on the "insolvency issue". If they are aware that if diultion doesn't take place then the company will fold, then they shouldn't be maeking a market, where they KNOW that what they are selling you is overvalued. This is a serious breach of regualtions, is indsider dealing and a matter which needs to be taken up by the FSA at once.

2) if Chiddingfold spit there dummy out and pull out, so what, the dozen or so "major shareholders" could replace Chiddingford and offer the finance, it's only double what you guys have already put in anyway, and with a return of 0.6p cash per share, you'll still have a 300% return on your investment.

I don't want you to feel as if i'm teaching my granny to suck eggs here, so apologies in adavnce if i'm stating the obvious, but when the big buys started coming in, i;m sure most of you were buying for a quick return, a bounce, a bit of fun or even all. But the goal posts have change somewhat, and you guys are now in a very powerful position, dont let the market rip you off, or the "new board" for that matter, your voice pre - AGM is louder than anybodys.

Kael - 17 Oct'03 - 10:27 - 148 of 2306

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 10:31 - 149 of 2306

what if they already knew of "eligible" votes cast to agree on dilution?..and maybe purchases made in alst few days wont be eligible?..
and re market making..cant see its their fault if loads of people want to buy something that will be devalued soon...and if the demand is great then they had to raise price surely..?..the only "unethical" thing they might be doing is selling a share for more than THEY think its worth...but hell, thats what makes the market work in the first place isnt it??...otherwise why would ANYbody sell ANYthing!

dell314 - 17 Oct'03 - 10:31 - 150 of 2306

It's like me being CEO of Vodaphone and ringing U this afternoon saying "oh by the way Paul, sell all of your VOD shares, coz were going to issue anther 500m on Monday, which will no doubt screw the price, but dodn't tell anyone.

matto - 17 Oct'03 - 10:52 - 153 of 2306
Some good points made above. Other things which may be worth noting

Currently the shares are 1p Ords. It is not possible to issue new shares at below 1p (the nominal price)

The Capital Reorganisation will need to be passed before new shares at 0.01p (or similar) can be issued. This I think may require more than a simple majority to be passed.

There may be rules in the company articles which allow for adjournment of meetings.

The dirty dozen seem to have disappeared, presumably they're busy sorting all this out!

I have just spoken to Simon Clemence at the company brokers 020 87628 4473 to try and see what will happpen at the Agm.

Forgive my lack of technical knowledge etc but if I understood correctly they will probably look to (I forget the term but) basically change every 100 shares for 1 new one hence in effect every share valued at say .05p today would then be worth 5p.

From other bits I have read I understand that possibly some of the major creditors have the right to convert their debts to shares at 1p per share so hence if the other resolution goes through they could get lots and lots of shares at about 20% of the current price.

I hope I have got this right but would welcome anyone elses confirmation and indeed their interpretation.

I am a nominee shareholder and at present am trying to establish whether I can get to vote for having spoken with the registrars I do not as yet appear on the register ( Capita Registrars Kevin Matthews 020 8639 2107). I wonder if a number of the other major holders are in the same boat possibly able to attend but not to vote which could mean resolutions could just sail through as planned.

Any more info/ explanations would be useful

Thanks

rescuer - 17 Oct'03 - 13:17 - 164 of 2306
Ganten >> it's not the fault of the new major shareholders that the registers have not or won't be undated in time, however, proof of delivery (your contract notes) should suffice. You need to ring the registars and they may ask you to fax your contract notes thro, but if you can circumnavigate the the slow process of registration it would be beneficial to you guys at the AGM. Dont take no for an answer, they are legaly obliged to offer you a voice and vote, but they may try to stall so they can move Monday forward without any complications.

matto - 17 Oct'03 - 13:23 - 165 of 2306
If you hold through a nominee I don't think the registrars can help. You probably need a letter from your broker stating your entitlement to vote but proof of your holding - as a very last resort - may be sufficient.

Once you're there it may be best to vote against everything. Certainly you have to vote against the capital reorganisation.

Im afraid advfn will not save this company, the major shareholders will walk all over you.

cougar6 - 17 Oct'03 - 13:44 - 168 of 2306
they will only issue shares at settlement date they tell me

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 13:45 - 169 of 2306
so in a nutshell, we have a band of holders who have probably bought in the last few days and who IF they are able to vote would certainly be able to block the capital reorganisation, which was after all subject to shareholder approval. This would then probably trigger Chiddingfold calling in their debt, which would then mean the new "owners" would have to find the £100000, but at this stage that would almost certainly represent better value for them than simply seeing a 10:1 dilution, (altho someon earlier mentioned the company had cash?..but doubtful that theres enough to pay off the £100k or they would ahve done it already?..)
so, it seems to boil down to whether shareholders have the right to vote regardless of whether their holdings are held in nominee accounts or if the have no certificates or the Registrar hasnt recognised it. Im sure there must be ways round all these; surely, IF someone legally owns something, then nobody else can vote in their place, which means they wouldnt be able to get the necessary %age of all votes required for the capital reorganisation?...does anyone know the legal position on all of this though rather than my idle speculation??!!

regarldess of certs is it not possible for people to prove ownership?..surely the people they bought the shares off couldnt vote either if it was down to certificate production, coz they would have had to return theirs?..the FACT of ownership ought to be provable by an individual in a way which was acceptable to a non-biased registrar surely?

shorting a minnow ??????????? how do you know

scotty500 - 17 Oct'03 - 14:11 - 201 of 2306
paulKent - Whats your take on this, these buggers are making my wallet itchy + I'd love to twat some MM's ?

matto - 17 Oct'03 - 14:14 - 202 of 2306
Here's something. I think the Capital Reorganisation will require high court approval. Don't know whether this helps, but it may mean the D4E cannot be voted on on Monday.

cougar6 - 17 Oct'03 - 14:14 - 203 of 2306
the legal posistion is complex and the company will not no the answer , there nomads will , but are unlikley to come to meeting and put them on the spot at short notice

dell314 - 17 Oct'03 - 14:31 - 204 of 2306
Why do you think the seller chose the particular day to sell that they did?
The way I see it, with settlement being T+3, none of you new holders will have any rights at the AGM and any vote will be a foregone conclusion on previously agreed commitments from large holders.....

im a big gobsmacked that the mms ALLEGEDLY have been selling shares they might never have, if , foe instance the capital reorganisation is not passed on monday, which i presume IS the agenda for monday??..altho no one has confirmed this yet..IF they are selling shares like this, it can only mean one of two things...either they know the rules inside out and are confident that the vote will go through because whoever they have sold shares to recently cannot participate..OR they have made a right balls up and could be in serious doo doo...what i DONT undersantd is how Maggie can have HER recent purchases approved and registered (As per RNS) by the Registrar for the company, and yet others can not...theres no way an MM could know whether its MAggie buying or someone else throug a nominee account..so i tend to favour the balls up scenario at the moment and i hope the "dirty dozen" (who the hell gave them THAT name..i prefer the "magnificent seven", coz im sure theres neither 12 or 7!!)manage to get the AGM deferred because of the clear confusion about who owns what or find a way to make sure they can vote and get the cap reorg deferred...plus the point someone made re the High Court sounds spot on too..so that would be a place to challenge too, altho if all the High COurt does is ratify an AGM vote, it might still be crucial to beat that vote or defer AGM...the play to me seems to be to squeeze the mms into having to accept their balls up and to cough up compensation to somebody!!!!

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 14:37 - 206 of 2306
dell...good point..and ur prob right..but even IF the AGM vote goes through, surely the MMs will STILL on Tuesday/WEdnesday have to settle shares bought PRIOR to the reorganisation (which apparently wont physically happen till High Court approves?), and so there will still be too many shares in circulation?..or do you think all the other key shareholders will have sold in the last couple of days and they havent sold stock they dont have?..its a fun one isnt it!

scotty500 - 17 Oct'03 - 14:50 - 207 of 2306
I guess in the overall scheme of things if the MM's get caught short...its peanuts for them anyway !

matto - 17 Oct'03 - 14:51 - 208 of 2306
The MMs can probably be short for a long as they like.

If the capital reorganisation does require high court approval then surely it would be possible to have an EGM in the meantime -providing it was called ASAP - to vote against the capital reorganisation and simply drop the high court action.

I'm not that old only 37 years, but if my education serves me well, is this not the second time something like this has happened ??, the other being in 1952 or 1953, when Mr Robert Maxwell, aledgedly sold 2.5m shares, he did have in a printing company he was selling, if my memory serves me well, i think he got away with it. But times have moved on since then.

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 14:57 - 210 of 2306
matto
EGM idea sounds possibility...
and i dont undersantd what you mean re mms can go short as long as they like...surely they have to deliver stock at some point...

rescuer
wow...helluva education you had!!!!....presume you meant "did NOT have"??

rescuer - 17 Oct'03 - 14:57 - 211 of 2306
If the dilution goes thro on Monday, i think the "dirty dozen" will become "12 Angry Men", cracking film.

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 15:00 - 212 of 2306
well if the doom and gloom scenarion IS correct and the MMs know what theyre doing, why the hell are they raising the bid again...they have no need to, UNLESS THEY NEED STOCK!!!...maybe they are starting to realise their problem?..and hoping to flush out some sellers??..surely if they were unconcerned theyd just sit on the lowest bid they could now?!..its all baffling as hell to me...but most excitment Ive had since CRI....ooops..bad link!!

rescuer - 17 Oct'03 - 15:00 - 213 of 2306
that the one Paul.

Anyways off to collect the kids from school, wont be back till monday, as the AHT thread has it's annual meet, (piss up) in Warwickshire, eh, the power of the day trader.

Best of luck to all holders I wish you well and look forward to the outcome on Monday.

have a good weekend.

scotty500 - 17 Oct'03 - 15:05 - 214 of 2306

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 15:07 - 216 of 2306
rather wish i had bought now this morning against my instinct..didnt realise it was going to get to be this much fun!...and i would imagine now that in an Mm office somewhere the order has gone out to GET STOCK!...be fun to see how much they have to pay now...

matto - 17 Oct'03 - 15:08 - 217 of 2306
Paul, even if the doom & gloom scenario is correct what's to stop the MMs making even more money by raising the price.

scotty500 - 17 Oct'03 - 15:08 - 218 of 2306
now 3 v 3 on new bid / offer....nice spread !

londonmetro - 17 Oct'03 - 15:08 - 219 of 2306
just faxed the brokers to get our RNS issued

3.62%

Spoke to brokers and Gerald Gold on his mobile.

Seems like its time to play

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 15:10 - 220 of 2306
matto
fair point..but why raise the bid at all?..they havnet been embarrassed by the huge spread all day so why not leave it where it was?..theyre paying 0.6/0.7 now i guess?

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 15:12 - 221 of 2306
yup..think they are offering over 0.7 now..and you cant even BUY £50 worth online now!!!!

Agincourt - 17 Oct'03 - 15:14 - 222 of 2306
This is posted on Ample BB - rofl

FOr the first I suddenly find myself owning a reasonable chunk (circa 3%)of a seemingly popular company but am not sure whether to be happy.

There is a lot of traffic on the advfn site but no-one seems any the wiser.

There is an AGM on MOnday at the company's appointed brokers
John East & Co Tel 020 7628 2200 for anyone interested.

Baffling the company has been bought almost twice over in the last couple of days but the price hasn't gone up.

I will be interested to see what happens if all those who currently own shares turn up and try to vote because that would on the past couple of days record mean far more votes than shares which in my humble opinion can't be legal.

I wait with interest, anticipation and worry to see how this develops. Champagne or water next week we shall see.

londonmetro - 17 Oct'03 - 15:17 - 223 of 2306
I mentioned to the brokers that currently we have a situation where it appears more than 100% of a company is owned which is highly unusual.

Agincourt - 17 Oct'03 - 15:18 - 224 of 2306
Also this ion the Ample BB ---

Mickie, are you knew here? You obviously don't know that Room Service Deliveries are no longer connected to RSV. A brief history of time for you:

This share originally listed as incubator Cube8.com in the heady days. Its value declined over two years to the point where it agreed to be bought out by Room Service. Cube8 had a small stake in Room Service at the time and knew the business.

Room Service was a decade old business run by Ronnie Pearl and Gerald Gold. On paper it was profitable and rising at a rapid rate. When it took over Cube8 and became RSV it had its main food delivery business, a couple of other businesses and all the portfolio of businesses and investments owned by Cube8.

Thanks to taking over Cube8, Room Service got its hands on around £1m liquid cash - by existing some of the Cube8 investments.

12 months after becoming RSV, Room Service had gone from a profitable ten-year-old company with an extra million of investment to bankruptcy. No reasonable explanation was given by Ronnie Pearl and Gerald Gold, and shares got suspended more than once because they failed to file accounts on time, so there were no accounts or news to tell shareholders what had happened.

Room Service Deliveries was into administration and was sold to another company. Ronnie Pearl apparently resigned as a director of RSV (although I don't remember a public announcement about this material event) and is listed as a staff member on Room Service Deliveries website.

Gerald Gold remains a director of RSV and does not appear to be working for Room Service Deliveries. RSV has no assets, has a debt liability and basically the only thing going for it is this listing, which is worth something to somebody. It also means the business is less weighty now so possibly growing more attractive by the day.

Personally, until I see what happened to the funds from Cube8 portfolio and the supposedly profitable ten-year-old business that went from hero to zero in 12 months, I will not reinvest. But I do watch with keen interest. My shares lost 90% of their value before RSV. Then almost 100% after RSV took over. You could say it's ready to bounce, but then you could say Ian Duncan Smith is going to be Prime Minister.

scotty500 - 17 Oct'03 - 15:18 - 225 of 2306
L2 is 2 @ 0.06 v 1 @0.1 [EVO]

Agincourt - 17 Oct'03 - 15:19 - 226 of 2306
and yet more !!!!

There is only one reason to say you don't know why your share price is moving, and that's because the truth is the opposite.

These bozos have a history of not telling shareholders anything at all. They've hardly announced all the things they have done, like material events - changes to board etc. The acocunts are a shambles (or possibly even a sham). I hope an investigation IS on the way. About time. Mr Gold, please give us an honest explanation of how this company has spent its money over the past year.

VERY QUICK - 17 Oct'03 - 15:26 - 229 of 2306
Hi guys I'm back fill me in on wots been going on. I see bid and offer up. anymore large share holders joining us.

psps - 17 Oct'03 - 15:29 - 230 of 2306
VERY QUICK,
i dont believe that you have 8 MLN..otherwise we would seen your name in todays RNS ?????????

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 15:30 - 231 of 2306
right...have done a bit of checking..and this is my best understanding of the situation
basically, IF you buy a share in a company today, say 1%, then even AFTER capital reorganisation, you must STILL have 1%..so IF mroe shares have been sold than exist, then the capital reorganisation will not help out those who have sold stock they havent got..
the vote for capital reorganisation only needs 50% of those voting on monday (ie NOT 50% of TOTAL shares, jsut of those voting) to go through, and IF it is voted for it does NOT need to then go to High Court...it will be effective on tuesday...
you can ONLy vote if you are on the register on monday..if you arent you cant..and if it hasnt been settled beforehand than you cant vote coz u wont be on register...
however, even if the reorganisation goes through, the MMs will STIL HAVE TO DELIVER THE SAME PERCENTAGE OF COMPANY after the reorgansiation that you bought this week!...so basically..it is one helluva mess..and i think the people who have sold stock they havent got (and Directors ARENT selling!) will be desperate to get some to settle books!

psps - 17 Oct'03 - 15:30 - 232 of 2306
londonmetro,
WELL DONE M8.....your name is on the RNS

VERY QUICK - 17 Oct'03 - 15:38 - 235 of 2306
There is nothing i can do if they wont put it thru on the RNS as a nominee all the shares in this company are in a pot with halifax and its is not the same as a single investor.

PaulKent - 17 Oct'03 - 15:39 - 236 of 2306
awww..i reckon quite a few must have baled out bigtime when they raised the bid coz theyre now offering to sell 350000 online so they must be confident they wont be unable to settle

VERY QUICK - 17 Oct'03 - 15:39 - 237 of 2306
Mayby they dont want me to be on the register before monday with my 8 mill holding?????

VERY QUICK - 17 Oct'03 - 15:41 - 238 of 2306
