It would be good if these 4 items could be finalised this quarter, but with only 3 weeks left to the end of the year I'd say that's just wishful thinking.

Past announcements say one thing but reality always appears to be something else and tend to raise more questions.

Lets consdir Vanmag for a minute:

They said that Vanmag was finalised when announced on the 9th May and was just waiting on DMR consent, which was to be a 6-8 week wait.

Further the company is suppose to have irrevocable bank guarantees, but it seems this would be something almost impossible to exercise according to comments made at the AGM.

PL gave an assurance that Vanmag would be settled with 2 weeks of the meeting, that's tomorrow! Anyone like to take odds that it wont happen?
