Very unusual for MNS to be quite so 'volatile', does anyone know any reasons other than the obvious? Any sector problems? or associated problems?

Likewise you with MNS, Rob. As you know, I was invested here, but didn't think an on target performance would sustain the price in these uncertain times. I donn't at first glance see next year's target of 3.7p as very impressive either, but admit I haven't looked at things too closely. The company's doing well and going places, but it just feels to me that it's all in the price for now.

I note your point on operational gearing. I had hoped, maybe unrealistically, that it might kick in more for 08. Anyway, all the best, and I'll continue to monitor the company.

Hi Cesar
Its not that fustrating because with the current forecasts the share price is up with events. MNS are forecast todo 3p for y/e May 2008 and the 3.7p for y/e May 2009. Once this May is out the way and the Market starts to look forward to 2009 the shares will be re-rated (assuming the business still continues apace)

As you know I'm a long-term holder and am happy to hold for a few more years yet....if the U.S Healthcare side and N.A.T.O individual countries start to adopt M.A.P.S then this price may well look very silly.

See you soon I expect

From the IC


Manpower invests for the future
Created: 11 February 2008 Written by: Nigel Bolitho
Software companies have certain decisions to make. Should they capitalise development work or not? Should they opt for the safe but unexciting route of maximising retained income? Or should they go for licence income with retained revenue to follow?

Advertising


Manpower Software is going for the licence income route. In the latest half-year, margins have been squeezed by an extra £1m spent on sales expenses and more on marketing to the NHS. Manpower provides rostering software for the maritime, military and healthcare industries and has found success in healthcare. In December 2004, the company had one NHS client. By May 2006, it had seven, a year later 16, and now it has 31 with a target arena of 200 trusts. A turnover breakdown shows that in the latest half year licence income was up £353,000 to £2.48m, while service revenue rose by over £900,000 to £2.85m.

The company's "linearity of licence revenues" is designed to produce rising revenues to keep City analysts happy and broker Numis forecasts end-May sales up from £8.3m to £10.8m and profits £400,000 higher at £1.4m.

% change +32 +10 +10 –



TIP UPDATE
Buy

This forecast suggests a prospective PE ratio of 20. That's good value for a company that's making big inroads into the NHS. The shares remain a buy.

Last IC view: Buy, 64p, 3 Aug 2007.

Digital Look shows f/casts of 2.9p / 3.4p and 3.9p for May 08,09,10 respectively. So not cheap on P/E.

However must be a positive that MNS already confident of meeting this yr's forecast.

Wow! Rob - Many thanks for your continued posts on this thread. This one looks a belter.

Currently on 27 NHS Trusts, MNS one of 2 preferred suppliers for 21 Trusts in East Midlands. Could be very big.

N1blet - still unsure & prepared to wait a little longer?

Credit Suisse have increased their holding to over 4%

There you go, news of another contract. These are still too cheap imo, directors were buying shedloads at higher prices not so long ago.

So any advise on MNS?

Can I get some opinions on MNS ? I am new to this and thought that this was a posting for MNS information and not a school playground.
