Nissi - well done on RIN - another cracker.

Just bought 300 OPS on the off-chance of them doing the same.

And with positive comments from Stuart!!!

Interesting. Reads to me more like they're looking for a placing to raise funds rather than an RTO. There are some things I like - the directors are paying themselves minimal salaries which bodes well for their integrity (low salaries should be a given when there is no real business. Sadly, they're not) The market cap is below NAV according to ADVFN, with a large cash component. And the director buy last month was encouraging. On the down side, the people in charge are the same ones that lost the 14M in the first place. Since they look set on becoming an investment business, they will succeed or fail entirely on the basis of the shrewdness of these people.

LONDON (AFX) - Optimisa PLC, which narrowed its first half loss, said it
plans to enlarge its resources and utilise the substantial tax losses of over 14
mln stg.
In a statement, chairman Ron Littleboy said: "It is apparent to the
directors, that many of these investment opportunities are not progressing due
to the limited cash resources of the company.
"It is therefore the intention of the board to enlarge the resources of the
company as soon as the suitable opportunity arises which will allow the company
to increase the number of available opportunities and the potential to utilise
our tax losses."
The directors, in conjunction with the company's advisers, have been
reviewing a number of options for the future, and are particularly keen to
utilise the substantial tax losses of over 14 mln stg available to it.
In the six months to June, the company reported a loss of 10,000 stg
compared with a loss of 25,000 the year before.

As at June 30, the company retained a cash balance of 449,000 stg, together
with quoted and unquoted investments of 367,000.

The net asset position of the company stood at 792,000 stg compared with
189,000 June 30, 2002.

Floated at peak of tech boom at 250p dropped to 1p then consolidated 1:300 removing lots of smaller holders that had 250 shares hence small number of shareholders own most of shares from much higher levels
