    Had heard that PORSE was being sold, did not know who to though.
    Is this where some of the selling in RYM and Sum have/will go??

    Loving the prospectus. It has all the box ticking bits. Especially like the dividend policy of 40%-60% NPAT - nice and conservative. The net dividend is okay assuming they can deliver the harmonious amalgamation. A generally professional prospectus.

    Not overly keen on only forecast info and none of the previous year info. Presumably they would argue that this is without PORSE and Lollipops, but I still want to know what was running prior to their empire build.

    Seems to be a bit rushed to get everything clear before Christmas.

    I'm in for this one I think, if I can get some that is.

    Ignore this, it is supplied on the website. A non-event.

    What happened to ABC learning with its MCAP of 2.5 billion in 2006 on the ASX?
    They were running the same strategy as evolve.

    Good luck for those who are in for the long term. Too much risk for me. Govt changes to funding in this industry are messy to say the least.

    I have a feeling that this one will always underperform due to "external factors".

    Really like the look of this one myself. Thought the offer price of $1 was very competitive, Impressive margins on projections. Not too worried about regulation pressures... Nice long -termer

    I agree, I like it too Benjitara. I'm not concerned about govt regulation - it would be an incredibly unpopular move to reduce funding for early childhood education (ECE) with the cost of living the way it is - many families need two earners. From memory the prospectus talked about how the number of women going back into the workforce is increasing by 2% per year. I love companies with significant macro trends fueling demand (think Ryman etc).

    I have friends who own ECE centres and they're cash cows.

    The directors of this company also have a successful record of consolidating companies (from memory they did it with pharmacy companies) and this model has been successful with ECE centres in Australia recently (delivering significant shareprice appreciation for shareholders). Institutional demand for EVO was strong in Australia (probably in part for this reason).
