Again, never said that I said the accounts, keep up.
The accounts transaction which the independent accountants assess as falsified was known then.

You said it was a "technicality" a few days ago - but the misrepresentation goes back to last year?

Shares/Bonds go up and down. They will recover over the next few weeks.
The information on the trading accounts hasn't really changed since they were first published in December.
The £1.1 million confused the issue but it's still there just on a different side of the accounts line.

Financial. My favourite subject

Yes bonds go up and down in value. Most things to do with financial services do. But normally with something like these bonds the movement is pennies. If something very good happens you might get a 5% rise in a day. A bit of bad news that won't make much difference in the long run might lose you 5% in a day.

For the bonds to lose 2 years worth of interest payments in a day you know there is a major problem. It isn't a problem that will quickly go away.

So you think that it is only something to do with what happened last December? If that is the case the bonds would have fell in value last December.

Wasps now have a major problem. The bond holders have been spooked. Suddenly it has gone from a decent investment to a dodgy investment. And someone from Wasps saying everything is OK won't help. There will need to be firm evidence that everything is OK before they recover. That is unless they went down for no apparent reason. And that certainly doesn't look the case.

What are you on about now?

The source was the accounts yesterday where the auditors used the word "falsified".
Click to expand...

Exactly. An audit that took place last year and was discussed (and accepted) at the bondholders meeting as an 'accounting irregularity'.
It's all in the wording but both the 'irregularity/falsification' and the figures in the accounts were known in December.

Can you point to where the auditors said in December that when the auditors were conducting enquiries Wasps presented them with false evidence?

Try and put it down as "irregularity" all day if you want, the same as it was a "technicality". The Auditors used the word "falsified".

The point is there has been a different deal since you said it was going to be JLR (based on a domain name purchase)....

Unless of course other deals can keep being done and it still doesn't count as "Not JLR"....

Agree with that, the other thing worth mentioning is that the decrease in the bond price is lessened by the fact that a lot of bondholders are Wasps supporters. If the bondholders didn't have that loyalty I suspect the price would have dropped like a stone.

So why did they not publish the full accounts and Audit reports on time?
In the case of WASPs Finance that was December 31st
The Bond issue was in January and once that was resolved why were they not issued then?
The Group Accounts were due March 31st - another deadline missed
One wonders what stage the Registrar of Companies got to with his chasing to get these released

The statement from Nicky on the published accounts states it was only signed off by the board on 3rd May doesn't it? That means they were lying when they told italia and the CT the accounts had been filed and would be published shortly. Is there no end to the lying?

Hang on - you said "

It's all in the wording but both the 'irregularity/falsification' and the figures in the accounts were known in December."

Are you saying the Bond Holders passed a resolution based in information that was not complete and may have needed further amendment after the vote?

Well, sponsorship income dropped by £1.1m from 30/6/16 to 30/6/17. Are Ricoh even paying anything now?

I am no accountant but having looked at the accounts it seems clear to me that Wasps Holdings are relying on an overdraft for cashflow

The bonds are secured against the Ricoh Arena, which was recently estimated to be worth £60million, an increase of £12million on the previous valuation. It has now emerged that cracks have been discovered at the stadium, attributed to ‘ground settlement’, but that there will be no disruption to its day-to-day operations while it works with a structural engineer to remedy things.
Click to expand...
Didn't they dismiss the issues at the Ricoh previously as just routine, now they have structural engineers in. That's not routine maintenance.

He must have been listening to posters on here who follow Les Reid. Andy Goode and Italia will soon correct it while not actually mentioning any of the points raised.

Do Wasps/ACL have a good or bad reputation for paying for local services or local suppliers does anyone know? Must be a few local contractors, service and goods suppliers I would think into the Ricoh. Do they pay 30,60,90,120days? When the solicitors letters arrive? Don’t know personally but must be people on here who work for service and goods suppliers into the Ricoh so was wondering what their experience is. Can be a good cash flow indicator.

Whilst I accept that this might not be as bad as many here hope/think/pray for, the almost dismissal of it as a non-story is extremely naive. I believe of the rugby premiership clubs only Exeter are in the black this year, Leicester are paying off a stand and look ok....as for the rest it’s a case of who will go under first. Rugby is in for a rough ride over the next couple seasons.

No ones worried, only you. Were delighted at the news.

Oh and the Les Reid angle you keep going on about, I do believe the information on this story was based on an article way before Reids came out, so if you are going to ramble on about it, at least get your facts right.

I'm sure I saw a story or link a few years ago saying how Dereck Richardson had been sniffing around the Ricoh before he got involved with Wasps.

Does anybody else remember that and have a link to it if it isn't in fact my senility.
