Interesting article from Investors Chronicle. Almost positive...

Media Square evolves, but tough times ahead.
Nigel Bolitho
11 November 2008

The challenge at Media Square is to improve margins after reorganisation

In July, as Roger Parry became the sixth chairman of Media Square in as many years, the company had 43 business units, 20 of which were losing money. Following various mergers, disposals and closures, there were just 12 major units at end-August 2008 and only one of these was making a loss. And this was due mainly to client departures (some of which were encouraged so as to close unprofitable accounts). That's a major reason why sales fell in the latest half-year. Excluding 2007's GBP12.6m of exceptional costs (mainly goodwill impairment charges), there has been a GBP1m improvement in operating profits to GBP1.66m.

So is Media Square a mini-WPP? Mr Parry expects tough times ahead. Indeed he has been called an "uber-bear" in this regard. On the other hand, Media Square has more scope than some competitors to improve performance in a recession. Business unit revenues per head stand at GBP65,000, which is well below the industry average of GBP100,000. And current operating margins of six per cent compare to an industry average of 16 per cent.

Like its rivals, Media Square earns a sizeable portion of its income in the run-up to Christmas. So full-year profits should exceed GBP2m. Broker Collins Stewart forecasts adjusted earnings of 2.5p.

The share price factors-in fears of recession, but Media Square still has a lot of scope to improve margins internally. Fairly priced.

Hi Dalcon, just me, I think. Can't figure why the price is still sliding after Parry's purchase. There are some good agencies in the group. At this market cap, they'd be stupid not take it private.
