Well, it was tipped by me yesterday on the Shares Forum!

Seriously, though, where else bart? (I guessed as much, by the strength of early buying).

Thanks for drawing to attention, rik.

For me, the following is the highlight:


VALUATION

Maxima is trading on a P/E of 9.8x for calendar 2008 based on our forecasts. Although this PE has risen two whole points in the last year, it still looks cheap compared to the smaller company UK IT services sector and compared to its direct quoted competitors. A continuation of the earnings enhancing acquisitive strategy should not only push up earnings but also result in a further rerating.

Very good results, IMHO. The price has also held up well during recent market carnage.

For anyone thinking of buying or adding, MXM certainly looks rather an attractive proposition: a nice strong uptrend; apparently strong support at 300p, close to an entry level, providing an obvious stop for a decent risk/reward ratio.

I think I have enough MXM at present, otherwise I would be doing just that.

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Maxima Holdings PLC said its full-year adjusted
pretax profit soared 76 pct, and reported a good start to the current year, with
key new business wins, including its first major Microsoft Dynamics AX project.
The company also reported some important contract renewals, and expects to make
further purchases during the year.
The IT services provider said adjusted pretax profit for the year to end-May
rose to 5.8 mln stg from 3.3 mln last year, and pretax profit increased 62 pct
to 4.2 mln stg. It said the results were slightly ahead of market expectations.
"Maxima has had an excellent year during which our core businesses have
performed well whilst we made four further acquisitions," chief executive Kelvin
Harrison said.
Revenues went up 66 pct to 31.8 mln stg, with the four acquisitions in the
year contributing 6.1 mln stg, the company said.
It said recurring revenues, those from annual support and maintenance
contracts, remained strong at 56 pct.
Operating profit percentage increased to 19.7 pct from 17.5 pct last year,
driven by higher staff utilisation, the benefits of the acquisition strategy,
and a continued focus on costs, the company said.
Maxima also lifted its final dividend up 36 pct to 3.4 pence, taking the
total dividend to 5.2 pence, up from 4.0 pence last year.
The company said it expects substantial growth in the current year,
following contribution from the acquisitions made during 2006/2007.

Maxima Holdings plc, (AIM: MXM), the acquisitive IT solutions and managed
services company, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Centric Networks
Limited ("Centric") for a total consideration of up to #6.4m payable in cash and
shares.

Centric provides managed services for infrastructure software to a broad range
of clients in the mid-market. The acquisition is in line with Maxima's
consolidation strategy within the fragmented IT services sector. The Board
anticipates that it will be earnings enhancing in the current financial year
ending 31 May 2008.

Centric's skills lie in operating systems, networking, security and remote
access. These skills are packaged into a managed service conforming with ITIL
(Information Technology Infrastructure Library) guidelines. The service
generally embraces remote monitoring, for which a range of tools have been
developed, and provision of helpdesk services. Centric frequently manages the
hosting and maintenance of client's systems in third party datacentres. Centric
is a Cisco Premier partner (network equipment), a Citrix Silver partner (remote
access software), a Checkpoint Silver partner (security software) and a
Microsoft Certified partner (infrastructure software).

For the year ended 30 June 2006, Centric had revenues of #2.00 million and
profit before tax of #0.55 million. Net assets at 30 June 2006 were #0.72
million. Management accounts show a compound annual growth rate for revenues of
approximately 100% over the last 2 years. At completion, Centric had cash
balances of #1.47 million and no debt. Based near Stansted with 41 employees,
Centric will be immediately integrated with Maxima's existing infrastructure
managed service business. The management team, who own all the shares in
Centric, have expressed commitment to remain with the business as part of the
Maxima group, with the exception of Gerry Redman, part-time finance manager and
company secretary, who plans to retire after supporting a short handover period.

The consideration of up to #6.4 million will be satisfied by a cash payment of
#4.4 million and the issue of up to 646,831 new ordinary shares in Maxima
("Consideration Shares"). The issue of 25% of the Consideration Shares are
subject to an earn-out dependent upon the performance of Centric in the 12
months to 31 May 2009 ("Earn Out"). Maxima will apply to AIM on completion for
admission of the 485,123 Consideration Shares to be issued on completion and in
July 2009 for the Consideration Shares linked to the Earn Out. On admission, the
Consideration Shares will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares.
Funding for the purchase is from debt under existing facilities with Barclays
Bank plc.

Centric was advised by Westchester Technology Associates LLP.

Commenting on the acquisition, Kelvin Harrison, Chief Executive said:

"I am delighted to welcome the Centric Networks team into the Maxima Group. This
transaction builds upon our existing infrastructure software skills which have
been developed since the acquisition of Intertech in November 2006 and 3net in
May 2007. It greatly reinforces Maxima's total of IT solutions and managed
services offering to the mid-market."

Fraser Fisher, Managing Director of Centric, added:

"Joining Maxima provides us with the ideal opportunity to increase the range of
skills that we can offer to our clients and to continue our strong growth
record."
