Daft questions...so what are the options for the PIs, do we 'get bought out at 31p', can we hold onto our PST shares and get a smal slice of the new company?

I haven't been in this situation before, so if someone could outline best/worst case scenarios for PIs it would be very helpful.

Or is there only 1 scenario ?

Yes I agree 31p seems a bit low on future prospects, however the share price hasn't reflected these prospects pre-the-bid anyway, so i'm not complaining.

gg....do you think PST could be a takeover tgt ? and are you encouraged by the size of director buys?

This is my first attempt at trying to understand the prospects of this company. I do not hold and I plan to be as objective as possible.

The immediate thing that springs to mind is that this company is extremely cheap if they achieve their 2010 forecast. Current broker estimates are for an EPS of 4.48p to 31/03/10, this puts the company on a PE of 3 - Cheap. But looking closer I would say highly unachievable.

There will be approximately 123565373 shares in issue, to generate 4.48p, the company would have to achieve operating profits for the year of about £5.5m. No chance so ignore the PE argument for the minute.

Analysing how the company performed over the past year shows the following.

H1 the company generate an operating profit of pre finance, tax, exceptional costs, associated costs of £371k. This company SHOULD be generating an operating profit % of 11% - 14%.

It would appear that the company threw out the kitchen sink in H2 last year which further strengthens my assumption that they should do 12% minimum. So say the company sales of £16m this year, and assuming a tax charge of 20% to take into account some of the losses rolled from prior year, the company should do anywhere from £1.5m - £2.1m after tax. This puts the company on a genuine PE of between 10 and 13. Not cheap, but not ridiculous.

I do not believe that this will be an asset play, but rather one based on recovery and a return to profitability. I would say that the company will be limited to a rise of max 25p with a more realistic price of 20p - 22p.

I must leave you now so will say that there is the asset play, and the company should start to generate significant cash.

One last point to the good, the company does not capitalise development costs which it is entitled to (R&D was £3.6m last year - no idea about the split). This would immediately enhance EPS. No idea why the company is adverse to this?

I must go now, the wife wants to go out so, I will post possible cashflows later in the week
