Yes, that's why they have had such a hard time over the last five years. Now is time for the business to roll-in. Pity they also went into recruitment as well!...lol!

Maybe a few investment bankers are boosting their outplacement service. I supsect that the good times are going to roll for this side of the business soon - very counter cyclical!

Background on IDDAS

Jonathan Cohen and David Stewart founded IDDAS in 2002. IDDAS offers a range of
transition mentoring and other career advisory services to senior executives of
FTSE and unlisted companies, and partners of professional firms. The business,
which is based in the West End of London, has as its Chairman, Lord Freeman,
and employs a team of 4 full time and 3 part-time staff.

In addition, IDDAS has over 25 associates who are involved in client
assignments on a project by project basis. These mentors include Elizabeth
Filkin, former Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, Sir Nicholas Montagu,
former Chairman of the Inland Revenue, Martin Smith, Deputy Chairman of New
Star Asset Management and Christopher Leslie, a partner in Zygos Limited. The
IDDAS Legal Panel members are Janet Gaymer CBE, former Senior Partner of
Simmons & Simmons, Terence Kyle, former Managing Partner of Linklaters and
Francis Neate, former Chairman of the International Bar Association.

IDDAS has a broad, blue chip and expanding client base and the turnover in its
financial year ended 30 September 2007 amounted to £614,805 generating a pre
tax loss of £11,015 (after directors' remuneration of £310,217 including
national insurance). At 30 September 2007 IDDAS had net tangible assets
amounting to £282,890 (including cash deposits of £269,621). In the 4 months to
31 January 2008, turnover and profits were £204,233 and £30,446 respectively.
Net assets as at 31 January 2008 were £313,336. These figures are unaudited.

Reasons for the acquisition

The Board (other than Jonathan Cohen, who is interested in the transaction)
believes that the Acquisition will provide significant benefits and
opportunities to the enlarged Savile Group including:

* a broader and stronger product offering targeted at the senior executive
and professional market;

* a blue chip client base;

* access to a strong and experienced team of associates; and

* a presence in the West End of London.

The Board further believes the Acquisition will strengthen the Savile platform,
generate additional revenue opportunities, synergies and economies of scale
leading to improved profitability for the Group. In addition, IDDAS has net
tangible assets, comprising mainly cash on deposit that will strengthen the
Savile Group balance sheet and provide additional working capital for the
enlarged and expanding Group.

got a few for now

[topvest] 10/4/2008 20:54

I agree NTV - well placed to benefit on the outplacement side with all these bankers being laid off + there is the prospect of some interesting further deals.

[ntv] 10/4/2008 18:33

i have bought back recently,interesting little company

[topvest] 20/3/2008 19:47

Surprised at the reaction here of late:

- Interims were encouraging, given they had £165k of restructuring and £54k of goodwill.

- Acquisition is excellent. A profitable third Business Unit bought for cash value.

Mixed outlook given the economy, but NAV is close to MV.

I will look at the IOS deal closer - I quite like the concept actually. Hanesh has been looking at this for a while as he was a director of a company called Bombay Restaurants plc at one stage. Market doesn't like it though! HNN is of little interest to me.

good luck with your investment
i bought a few ios on the expectation of a deal and a more fairly valued share price
got a deal but the mkt thought it was poor and has marked the shares down nearly 30%
