Mike,
the size of any jump will depend on how much is bid
for the assets. FFS has written off all equity in the CNIFP, written the
debt it is owed down to US$225m, and from memory written this debt down even
further in the recent FY report. This together with a market approach to
valuing their forest estate gives FFS a conservative NTA of around
46cps.
There may be a jump in price when the bids are
revealed for the following reasons:
1. The market has been starved of
information regarding FFS.
2. Any offshore bids for the CNIFP
assets (which include the massive Kaingaroa Forest) is likely to fuel
speculation of a takeover of FFS, as they currently manage the CNIFP
assets.
3. It will be seen as a resolution,
with FFS able to move forward (however there is still some littigation with
Citic before the High Court).
Rgds,
greg
