mr marks still has a very large % of company shares - the destination of his holding could be interesting to a larger preditor - if the company aviods any signifcant bad debts and loss of contracts the present share price will be shown to be greatly undervalued when the next set of results are published. He who dares wins, 1.8p is not a risk to lose any sleep about, the upward potencial is significant. Good luck to all bravehearts.

Have gathered a few @ around 1.8p and will continue to purchase monthly as finances allow. This share is asleep.

you must watch this share not against its history but against the backdrop of how economy is moving. while most sectors are sliding down, this sector is holding its own well and insome places growing. Within the sector this remains a badly undervalued share. If you base you assesment on feb09 rather than history you'll see that this is one that will go manic as i have forecast. Just hope it goes up gently and does not overheat as there are always plenty of people around to profit take rather than to be in it for the long term.

Feb 23rd 07 when the last divi was paid - yield is ZERO at present - it will be interesting to see if it is restored after the year end 31st march 09 - ors

Its a funny old share this one. Have been in profit when i purchased around 3p and it went to 5p WOW!!! But its just not a performer. I bought in because i thought at the time Security Companies should do well with all the terrorism and problems going on and i still think it will do well in the future but lets hope its not too far away.
Current pe is a measly 7.3, Yield is 6.7 and Nav 3.42 according to ADVFN, hopefully it will come back in favour sometime but looks very cheap at the moment, but as its listed on the aim market not many institutions are likely to be interested only pi`s like us.

I know the dividend is peanuts but hey webis did the same turnaround from loss to profit last week and there shares rose more than 100% in 3 days. Are investors in sectorguard asleep? Fine to me, happy to pay at a price thas surely has bottomed out for a company that changes profit to loss during a recession! The majority of ftse 100 companies like for like cannot match this.

[oldgeezer] 22/1/2009 14:10

Well somebody confident, with 10mil trade gone through at 2p thats 200 grand.
I think like so many stocks these have been hammered and forgottten.
Its been never been much of a performer and i have always hoped for better given the sector its in.

Unfortunately you are correct, yes it is £0.000269 EPS

[deanforester] 02/1/2009 14:15

I'm sure that you are correct. The RNS has the error.

[greenroyd] 02/1/2009 13:16

Sorry to spoil the celebrations but I think if you look closely you will see the EPS is .03 Pence ie 3 hundreths of a penny. I was just about to buy a few more when I noticed.

[deanforester] 31/12/2008 18:06

Actually the last dividend was 0.11p, paid on 23 Feb 07.

According to the RNS, shares in issue are 381,781,829, so at 0.11p the dividend would take £419,960.

Shares in issue now 395.85 million - restoration to cost £400K

[only1buster] 31/12/2008 13:56

the last divi paid was 0.1p per share on Feb 24th 06. - alas as a long suffering holder i remember it well - i hope 09 brings a restoration of the divi

Joey the Lips..."a good solid investment". I'm with you all the way on that comment Joey.

I make the EPS about 0.83p per share. I'd love it to be 3p but I think your maths is wrong.

Market Cap 4.5 million = 450000000 pence/1.625 midprice = about 300 million shares

2.5 million profit = 250000000 pence/300000000 = 0.83 pence per share.

Not bad though is it EPS about half the midprice? I can't remember what the last dividend was but I had 100,000 shares and received about 100 pounds, so that would be 0.1p per share at a cost to the company of 300,000 pounds today.

Good luck. Not the highest flying shares around but a good solid investment.

Well at least they seem to have sorted themselves out at the boardroom level. Too much was being done by one person. It's about time a finance director was appointed.

At first glance the finances appear to be in order.

[deanforester] 31/12/2008 11:10

With earnings of 3p per share, it makes a nonsense of the share price.

[only1buster] 31/12/2008 11:01

good results - a firm step in the right direction - 2009 should not be gloomy for sgd and holders

[eugene1234] 31/12/2008 10:25

Future looking very bright. Good management team.

[eugene1234] 07/11/2008 22:51

Well, that's a good appointment. Should stir this 'old' company into action. Got great connections.

[only1buster] 04/11/2008 16:50

I have been in touch with sgd and the half year results to end of sept will be released before the end of dec.- turnover etc should make interesting reading and give a good idea of any benefit to shareholders of the merger with manguard- double turnover and substancial profit was indicated by the previous management -

Never a good thing to have family members running a public company. Maybe now we can get back to basics, growing the company without to much dilution.
