Thanks for the link to that update as I had missed it.
So as long as there is no spin doctoring on the number "liabilities on assets held for resale" then
$782 million debt
Cash in $450 million
core debt becomes say $500 million
With residual cash for working capital and "problem fixing"
Other issue is level of hole to fill in NZ.
Whats left
1) Stella Other than partners loading up management fees and minority interest shareholders have certain remedies on this then Stella either embarks on debt reduction or partners will wish to throw out dividends to themselves and thereore MFS
2) RE and management rights Living and Leisure and MFS Group
Major issue here as these groups seek to distance themselves. Either MFS needs to make sense of these satellites and keep income from RE and management fees or and someone will and MFS will lose fees.
3) Residual assets Sunkids, Sun Leisure Observatory Deck Cahills
Do not know much and any help on these would be appreciated but I will return to financials for further reading
4) Interest in MFS Group and MFS L and L I beleive they still hold some of both
These require their own work out but have potential value.
5) Structure Finance
Is this division legitmate and how dependent was it upon deal flow from internally and how much was third party transactions ??
6) New Zealand interest Pacific Finance represent a contigent liability but does other parts of MFS NZ have value
7) MFS Funds Limited value unless a big brother partner is found to restore investor confidence
have I missed anything. Poetentially investments in some minor funds
jewel continues to be Stella interest as MFS needs 50 million a year to cover debt I think.
Anyway I will keep trying to get my head around this. Any more help appreciated
