Pilat Share Discussion Threads

Pilat's time will come. Patience required

Good disposal. Increases NAV by 0.35M and improves profitability by about 20%. Higher margin business remains.

[hugepants] 09/12/2005 14:56

Pre-tax profit at 0.3M for 9 months. As SimonParker says Q4 was the best last year (by a long way) so Id hope for at least 0.45M pre-tax with strong cash flow.

Impossible to buy any just now though. TDWaterhouse will only quote you for 5,000 shares.

Come a long way since I didn't buy at 6p odd. LOL. Another boat sails. Well done HP.

Still, I'd have had to sell out without getting most of it when I liquidated my portfolio anyway!

Given Fridays rise on the back of very good third qtr results I am surprised there is not more comment on this board. Profit at this stage came in at £300K with the most profitable 4th quarter still to come. I would expect full year to be at least £450K which at current market cap puts them on a PE of 8, not very demanding. Traded on the Isreal SE which has not been open since results announced. Trading takes place there on a Sunday and already they are up 13%.
Don't see why 20p should not be acheivable by year end.

Thanks Simon
I was looking @ this and didn't quite know what to make of such a rise in the UK
Have sold for now but I am keeping my eye on it

[simonparker5] 04/9/2005 23:57

Up 24% in Isreal today at 89 sheckels. This still only equates to 11p per share. Either Isreal have some catching up to do or London needs to fall. Still on the sidelines but this one does look intersting with such a low market cap.

Will be interesting to see what a few trades today brings to the price.

[hugepants] 01/9/2005 15:47

Price heading north again. Up over 40%. This looks like it could be due to more than just the illiquidity. Takeover, large contract win in the offing?

[sharegod] 01/9/2005 15:04

more like starting to show true value.probably larger trades behind the scenes

[cbeadle] 01/9/2005 14:33

Yet only up 10% in Israel- very right HugePants it's very illiquid

[guru11] 01/9/2005 14:12

Only 1500 shares shown as bought today.
Up on extremely small volume?

[hugepants] 01/9/2005 14:01

Someone bought 25,000 shares yesterday and bumped the price up by 10% so it shows how illiquid this share is. Perhaps someones bought 100K or so today.

[hugepants] 25/8/2005 14:11

Sharegod

As far as VIG goes 50% of the short term creditors are in fact "accruals and deferred income". The company themselves claim, in the annual report, to have net cash of 0.4M (1.2M cash minus short-term borrowings of 0.8M).

RDS is on my watchlist but Im not buying just now since its still loss-making.

[sharegod] 25/8/2005 13:48

they seem to have a lot of debt hugepants.(vig).I like rds although the spread is huge.with cash of 1mill the business is valued at a paultry .7mill

[hugepants] 25/8/2005 13:44

Id be buying more if it wasn't for the spread and illiquidity. I still see a market cap of 4M (15p) as being about right just now. Israel is the biggest market and the business situation there is much better than even 12 months ago. And Q3 and Q4, the best quarters last year, are still to come.

PS. If you like small s/w companies like PIA and dont mind terrible liquidity and a large spread then VIG is also worth a look.

[lqs] 25/8/2005 08:43

Agreed. Interims:


Pre-tax profit has doubled to 0.18M and they sound very upbeat. H2 still to come which provoded about 80% of the pre-tax profits last year. Im sure theyll at least match last years 0.5M pre-tax and its possible they could beat it by a long way.

[sharegod] 25/8/2005 08:31

another great set of results.the illiquidity s causing this company to be well undervalued.FY should be about.5m profit thats a pe of about 5 for a growth company.

[gildas2] 04/8/2005 21:35

they were posted on the 26th Aug last year.

[hugepants] 02/8/2005 16:25

Interims out this month, probably in the last week

[lqs] 01/7/2005 12:33

I topped up yesterday with 35K buy at 9p but it didn't show up on the trades data. And I see someone has bought 70K today

Contract with Time Warner. Dated 14 June


I also hope the announcement on 21st June about CREST enablement will increase liquidity
