Hallo, jhan66. I have now spoken to Mr Porter of Optimisa, and, to my mind, the most important thing he told me is that he cannot see any intention of the Company to re-float, and thus restore a market for the shares. He points out that Directors hold more than 50% of the shares, and that the likely future is either further buyouts and/or the payment of dividends, at what level, or when, he could not say. I was hoping for a re-float, and at a higher price than £12, so guess now that I will take the offer. Mr Porter says other shareholders are welcome to phone him on 0207 960 3315. I will be losing about 65% of my "investment"! Could have been worse, I suppose..

Has anybody else seen the offer by The Company to purchase our shares for £12 each? I am tempted, but first want to ascertain prospects for them if continuing to hold. The accounts(2010) are well out-of-date now. Am doing as much research as I can, but without much luck. Will try phoning them next week. Anybody else have any views??

P.S - have just gone back through some old posts; have a look at my 37! How wrong can one be? ( I will be on a 50% loss if I took £12 per share now; could have been worse....)

Relevant srticle today from iii
Delist and save £££!" lawyers tell AIM boards

City lawyers are circling hard-pressed AIM-listed companies with offers to delist them for as little as £5,000, an investigation by Interactive Investor has revealed.
It comes amid a rising tide of businesses opting to walk away from the public markets to go private as a result of a dramatic fall in share prices and the flight of capital from the AIM markets in favour of investments seen as less risky.
There are concerns that advertising cut-price delistings could lead to investors being disadvantaged if companies fail to set up a facility to allow shareholders to exit at a fair price. Brokers say this has happened on a number of occasions in recent months.
By April, the number of UK listed companies on AIM had fallen to 1,167 from a high of 1,347 in 2007. Part of the reason for the fall has been that new flotations have all but dried up while the number of companies quitting the market has increased significantly.
This year 99 companies quit the market by the end of April compared to just 59 in the first four months of 2008. The trend picked up sharply at the end of last year - 40 companies left in December. Prior to that, de-listings had been running at around 19 a month. The figures for this year so far show de-listings running at around 25 a month.


Richard Feigen, the chief executive of Seymour Pierce, said: "We accept delistings will happen. It's inevitable but when they do we would always try to convince clients that they have a duty to go through the right mechanism and give shareholders the opportunity to make an exit at a fair price. If you raise money on the public markets you do have a duty to ensure you treat the people you raise money from fairly."


Anthony Scott, director of private clients at Charles Stanley, was of the same mindset. He said: "This is really not doing anyone any favours and to delist and walk away from your shareholders without looking after them properly is quite wrong. It is a nightmare at the moment."


Stephen Austin, partner of Hybridan, a broker, said: "On an IPO there's an implicit promise the shares will stay quoted through thick and thin. This promise is now being broken all too often and is driving away investors created a depressing downward spiral for the remaining stocks.


"If companies do have to quit the market a tender offer to buy out the minorities should be made mandatory. And this should be at the preceding 12 month average share price. It would be all too easy to let a share price drift down to rock bottom only then to buy the company back on the cheap."

M/Cap now £800K. Undervalued or more bad news on the way?

They said last month:

However, the Board still expect results to show an improvement on 2007 and the Company has sufficient cash resources to fulfil its business plan. In addition the Board continues to recommend the dividend of 3p per share for the full year ended December 2007 and will be voting in favour of this at the forthcoming AGM.

Has anyone seen results like this anywhere else - ever? What will it take to get these shares recognised by the market?

Well I thought the 25% fall (to 125p offer) might have been overdone, but was talked out of buying on the grounds that the loan is a dangerously high proportion of the market cap. However - on seeing quite large buys appearing, and the price rapidly recovering, I bought a few at 155p , bitterly regretting not taking my own advice. The price is 170p offer now. We shall see who's right in due course.

Yep, they also now have £5.5m of debt after the acquisition.

Lets see how the MM's play this one today-I suspect we may see this another 10-15% down.

BTW, not a holder of OPS. Sold last year.

OPS mentioned on another thread by theophilus.
I have read the RNS and all of this thread, and still have no clue as to what this company does.
Most unlikely to get involved unless some explanation and background appears, preferably in the header of this thread.
Perhaps QS9 could oblige?

I'm not really interested in the fundamentals, being a chartist, but not knowing what the company does is a no no.

BTW the chart would apear to have a target of around £17 sometime in the next 15 months imo.

It's so frustrating! OPS performs so well, but the share price just doesn't reflect this. What more does the market want? Will it never come to the notice of the Big Hitters? Perhaps we just have to wait for a takeover?
Posted at 15/6/2007 09:13 by qs9
Looking very good IMO for £20 (another 30%), tightly held so demand is pushing them ahead nicely. More deals are likely so increased share price will lessen any dilution for existing shareholders, lets hope a virtuous spiral upwards if they get it right!!
