ANOTHER WEEK WITH MORE SHARE PRICE BACKSTOPPING BY ALLIED BRANDS (ABQ) DIRECTOR!


In what's becoming a painfully obvious ploy, Allied Brands director Peter Graham (pictured here) has again shown the lengths that directors will go to give a misleading impression about the company's share price.


Trying to stem the crash below 13 cents, when no buyers for this collapsing company were evident, Graham waded into the market and bought a measly 4000 shares of ABQ. Price? About what he spends for a Tedder Street meal, $560. (He's a big eater). Word from GC elite is that even his mates aren't keen to keep Allied Brands afloat any longer, especially after the failed float of yet more shares. Graham continues to be shunned by his high-end mates who don't want his continual earbashing.

WANT TERRIFIC INVESTOR PERFORMANCE? LOOK TO RFG! ABQ DYING MISERABLE PATHETIC DEATH WITH ACCC, ASIC, ASX ALL CONDUCTING INVESTIGATIONS!

Here's this year's chart showing the high-flying and well-managed company RETAIL FOOD GROUP LTD (RFG) (in red) compared to the collapsing, haemorrhage-money, greedy, shonky, stuffing-their-pockets management of ALLIED BRANDS LTD. (ABQ) They both started out in exactly the same place. And once again ABQ management failures have squandered investor money and dudded franchisees.

These two companies are almost identical in shop numbers and franchisees. ALLIED BRANDS has 3 1/2 times the high-paid senior management than does RETAIL FOOD GROUP. Is it no wonder Allied Brands is on life-support? RFG has NINE times the market capitalisation. Clearly they understand that "PROFITABLE FRANCHISEES MAKE A PROFITABLE FRANCHISOR". Something the short sighted Peter Graham and Lachlan Mcintosh don't seem to have a clue about.

Some at Allied have discussed selling off Allied in pieces, trying to get some liquidity. There have reportedly been more low-level staff abandoning ship in the last two weeks. And rumours are the Westpac has withdrawn any future franchisee financing due to the dodgy balance sheet at Allied Brands.

ANOTHER DOWN DAY FOR ALLIED BRANDS

On huge volume, Allied Brands Ltd. (ABQ) saw the bulk of these shares traded DOWN again.

In an attempt to stem the perception of collapse, one sale was arranged to prop the price up at close of trading.

Franz Madlener is finding out what a long way down it is for an "Entrepreneur of the Year".

ANOTHER DOWN WEEK AS ALLIED BRANDS CONTINUES THE COLLAPSE

The only reason the share collapse isn't faster? There aren't any more suckers who haven't checked the net and discovered what a heartless disaster Allied Brands is!

OVER 3000 HITS ALREADY THE MONTH OF JULY!

Everyone else has done their dough!

ALLIED BRANDS (ABQ) THE COLLAPSE CONTINUES

As Allied Brands Ltd (ABQ) shares continue their relentless collapse to near zero, colleagues of former director and ABQ shill Glenn Molloy have begun to question his relationship with this company.

Even more dramatic is the comparison with a similar company, Retail Food Group Ltd (RFG) in the chart at the right - - in the last year RFG is UP 20%, ABQ is DOWN 65%!

UPDATE: CALLS ARE FRANTICALLY BEING PLACED BY ABQ DIRECTORS TO THEIR MATES, FRANTICALLY TRYING TO PUSH THE PRICE UP TODAY. WE EXPECT AN IMMEDIATE UPTICK ON OPENING.

ALL FOR NAUGHT AS THE GRIM REAPER STANDS AT THE MERMAID BEACH DOOR!

AS PREDICTED, INSIDER PROPS UP ALLIED BRANDS AS REAL SHAREHOLDERS SNUB PURCHASE

As advised by staff at Allied Brands Ltd., the first evidence of insiders pushing more cash into Allied Brands is starting to make its way to the Australian Stock Exchange.


This is the same Director who signed the statements claiming what a "great success" this additional share float had been! The same director that has led this company into near collapse twice before only to get bailed out by others (and working feverishly on #3). The same Peter Graham who has seen his ownership decline from 100% to the now pathetic 11%, and having become just another aging business has-been laughingstock in the Gold Coast.

This ASX statement doesn't include the current "insider" shares that aren't required to report their cash input into ABQ (like Raymond Beath and Glenn Molloy, both directors of PPK Group). Beath also acts as "investment adviser" with Beath Investments and perhaps clients of his Holden & Bolster Avenir accountancy.

Meanwhile, continued downward market pressure is going to shortly cancel hundreds of thousands in options awarded by Directors to themselves - options that are worthless due to the continuing non-performance and cash haemorrhage being seen at Allied Brands.

INSIDERS PLUG MONEY HOLES IN ALLIED BRANDS CASH DRAIN

As predicted last week, the failure of the "special offer" to current shareholders of Allied Brands Ltd (ABQ) failed to garner anything close to the funds necessary to pay for the debt-heavy Villa & Hut. Most of the funds they were trying to raise in this "deal" were earmarked to plug the cash hole in the Allied Brands balance sheet, as well as throw non-performing CEO Shane Radbone a bone. Insiders claim Radbone is mostly sidelined but directors fear another major shorttime executive leaving abruptly would send the wrong (but honest) signal to the Australian Stock Exchange.

So the "mates" have stepped up to plug the cash hole. The 3B statement filed Friday shows the ratbag of the week as Ray Beath, (pictured above, left), a director at PPK Group which also was suckered into doing its dough in this failing company. Along with Beath, PPK Group director Glenn Molloy is implicated in this additional cash injection. Molloy was an ABQ director and was removed by liquidator Korda Mentha executive Lachlan McIntosh when he assumed control of the company during its last foray near bankruptcy.

Molloy was apparently instrumental in talking the rest of PPK Group directors into this "strategic investment" - I guess their strategy is to throw their share holder money down the dunny! Wonder how he explained his ejection from the Allied Brands board?

It is unclear who's money Ray Beath has now funneled into Allied Brands from the "Beath Investment" company. Perhaps it's client money from Holden & Bolster Avenir, an accountancy he runs in Sydney with some very surprised partners today. Or perhaps it's Chinese money from his financial ties to the Australia China Chamber of Commerce in New South Wales.

We look forward to additional information into this transaction.
