Only Positives throughout:-

* Turnover increased by 250 per cent. to £1.763 million (2007: £0.503 million)

* Operating Profit before impairment increased by 133 per cent. to £1.055 million
(2007: £0.452 million)

The Company has also launched 'Room to Invest', a hotel room investment company, which we are expecting to be a major contributor to profits going forward.

I am pleased to announce that for the twelve months to 30 April 2008, the Company achieved a profit before tax of £639,000 (2007:
£361,000). This represents an increase of 77% on last year. Earnings per ordinary 0.1p share was 0.16p (2007: 0.13p).

Net assets have grown by 194% from £692,000 to £2,034,000, resulting in an increase in net asset value (NAV) per ordinary 0.1p share from 0.29p to 0.71p.

This focus has now changed to establish a broader based business with repeat earnings.

It is also due to launch its first new
title in January 2009, which will be a subscription-based publication and is in a very niche area. Further details of the planned new publication will be released shortly.

It is currently marketing an existing hotel in Marrakech, Morocco with further launches to follow shortly in Slovenia and Southern Ireland.

The Company has started the new financial year strongly and has invested heavily in its new subsidiary, Room to Invest and other areas
of the business. In the first four months of this year to 31 August 2008 the Group has been both profitable and cash generative.

ouch, this is gonna burn some investors.

One to avoid IMO

Price is lower than it was 2 months ago, even after the results were released!!!

Tells a story!

[treacle28] 29/10/2008 10:21

Forget the 639K profit just announced but Why not when NAV is 0.71p now and first four months of the next Interims have been profitable and cash generative. So as well as getting record pre-tax profits for these finals would expect record pre-tax profits for the Interims.

lol...classic

[treacle28] 29/10/2008 10:17

A few buys today now but still a restriction on buying limits at these low levels. 0.40p is the resistance point on the chart and has been for a while over the last couple of years. Once broken, should see swifter gains imo.

[treacle28] 29/10/2008 09:14

Topped up with 104,570 shares at 0.374 pence...and some blue. Hopefully some sustained rises from these so undervalued levels.

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 20:06

DOW up 900 pts...buyers will be returning to small caps soon.

Other Highlights (further on in the text, so Treacle had drifted off and missed them, I guess):

"reliance on profits on disposal of investments, which in this economic environment are becoming more difficult to achieve"
"This division is discontinuing new investments because exits are more difficult during this current economic climate"
"We have decided to withdraw from the private equity market"

"Cash and cash equivalents £7,000"
"Current Liabilities £1,173,000"

I notice Treacle has stopped waffling on about CAPT's strategy being ideal for the present economic climate (seeing how even the company has given up on it) - now she just has to get to grips with the fact that the market will value anything like this on a massive discount to claimed NAV, especially when there's no cash and a load of bills to pay - Trade & other payables £672,000, Current tax payable £492,000 - bet HM Revenue & Customs will be banging on the door for payment at some stage, don't fancy trying to pay them off with room nights in suburban Budpest.

More good news well be coming soon as stated:-

Capital Ideas Financial Publications Ltd

The Company acquired the assets from the previously AIM-quoted Charterhouse Communications
plc. Assets acquired included: Company Refs,
Company Guide and Company Directory. These are long established financial titles which are
mainly subscription based. The assets were
acquired for £207,000 in cash. In the first 4 months of ownership the division generated a
contribution to central overheads of £119,000 on
sales of £513k. The Company is looking to expand this division both by acquisition and
organically. It is also due to launch its first new
title in January 2009, which will be a subscription-based publication and is in a very niche
area. Further details of the planned new
publication will be released shortly.

More potential for gains and ten bagger than dogs the filtered stalkers have been buying imo. Its all there in black and white now sad old broker....now go and take your dog for a walk. I hope you don't think of me when you're in bed.

[tiredoldbroker] 28/10/2008 17:52

But what you can rule out is Treacle buying any more stock - her £300 pot is already overextended, and she's getting quite shrill with the need for someone to bail her out or give her an exit point. There is no p/e for CAPT, for the same reason that's been posted here over and over again, that there's no recurrent earnings; and there's no bid for the company, just Treacle shrieking in the darkness.

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 16:29

Currently trading on a pe ratio of just 2 and substantially undervalues the company with a mkt cap of just over 1 million when pre-tax profits of £639,000 just announced on 1.763 million turnover. At these very low levels, I wouldn't rule out a takeover and some sizeable interests coming soon from the directors.

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 16:29

ADVFN have updated the figures on the Quotes Page and currently trading on a pe of just 2. Substantially undervalued.

[ucretin] 28/10/2008 15:39

We are all mad and sad. We got to be crazy to read let alone post on this thread. Where's the straight jackets

[seanmiller] 28/10/2008 15:36

cant belive no one thinks chancer6 is treacle.

just to wrap it up I will post some postings from both treacle and chancer6 lol - trust me, you will 100% certain to see it after that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seanmiller] 28/10/2008 15:34

lol, treacle is indeed chancer6 - let me confirm that now lol

as for a ten bagger. nav was, ages ago, at .79p according to the "accounts" lol

so price now at .35p, half the "nav"

the reason is becuase the mm's know this has no potential to increase, and will come down in the future, so they marking it down.

It wont recover lol - like treacles bank account with these investnment strategies of hers lol

[ucretin] 28/10/2008 15:14

I don't hold nor am I a supporter of chancer. Anyone buying without their own research deserves to loose monies as they are just taking a pure gamble but here I have seen no evidence of chancer. If Treacle was chancer then justice would be throwing him/her to those who lost monies on his/her say so.

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 15:08

I'm waiting for bigger gains...ten bagger in the making with NAV at 0.79p now.

[mattrix1] 28/10/2008 15:06

Hey let's open up a new thread dedicated to Treacle and her followers...it will get 1 zillion posts a day of a sack of hairy bullsh*t. Another thread for actual Capt holders 1 post a day, but a better read if you are an investor.

What would it be called I wonder!! :0)))

[relishing] 28/10/2008 15:04

Which is why I edited it straight away ucretin.

[mattrix1] 28/10/2008 14:55

Good for you Relishing and Philjeans I hope you made a bit of profit.

[egoi] 28/10/2008 14:49

27 new posts in a couple of hours for this company, as you say Argy.........

............ LOL

[treacle28] 28/10/2008 14:49

Gosh, no one can stay aware just in case the price starts rising again.

[ucretin] 28/10/2008 14:46

relishing - your as bad as chancer. Claiming it as your buy and stating that you were in for 5m could have encouraged others to buy for your gain. I see no difference between you and chancer.
relishing - no credibility
