Yes NTV - this is looking very perky. Either trading is going well or a deal expected. I suspect the latter or both. Anyway, looking good!

The Cedar TM deal will really help the Talent Management side of the business. Doesn't appear to have cost anything either!



I wonder where this is all heading. Q1 results are ahead of budget according to the results.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some corporate action soon. At £1m this is a bargain imo as I suspect outplacement services is starting to pick up in the City following credit crunch. May be a few bankers requirement some support!

Guys compare this to say Penna Plc who offer exactly the same service.

They made £500k profit last results and have a current market cap of £23 million
Fairplace £260k profit and current market cap of £1.1 million !!!!

Plenty of room for this to multi bag.

Yes, excellent results. A few things:
- Trading profitably;
- Writtend down the balance sheet;
- Good start to the new year;
- Good liquidity;
- New business activity Cedar TM which sounds very interesting;
- High quality Board


........New name...the company is being transformed! Should be at least 20p.

Will be adding if I can get them ;0)

Very pleasing results. They have certainly turned the corner & must be in the shop window now.

True to form, no "A" on our monitors-well done ADVFN!

So with a market cap of just £1.1 million this is stupidily cheap !

They are now trading profit and would have made £260,000, but due to write down on one off Italian office closure made a loss.

This should have a MINIMUM market cap of around £4 million or x 3 the current share price, I expect heavy director buying to get the shareprice up as they are sitting ducks for a takeover at this price. Its a no brainer for a rival to snap this company up.

What excites me most is this :

The challenge ahead is to ensure we retain our share of the outplacement
market, increase talent management sales, and to manage our expenses. We have
enjoyed an excellent start to the new year and we are currently ahead of budget
in a quarter which has previously been unprofitable due to downturn of activity
associated with the summer months. We are confident that we can continue to
grow the business and improve profitability.

Looking good. Hoping for some major upside from here. Looks very well poised for a reverse takeover imo.
