Third Quad Capital PLC

14 February 2011

Third Quad Capital plc

("TQC" or the "Company", to be renamed VSA Capital Group plc)

Result of General Meeting,

completion of disposal of the Technology Division,

board change and

change of name to VSA Capital Group plc

Result of General Meeting

The Board is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting of the Company which was held earlier today, the following resolutions were approved:

1) the disposal of the group's Technology Division (as outlined in the circular to shareholders dated 28 January 2011) (the "Disposal");

2) the renewal of the Directors' authority to issue Ordinary Shares for cash without applying statutory pre-emption rights

3) the change of name of the Company to VSA Capital Group plc.

The Board is also pleased to announce that the Disposal has now been completed.

Board change

John McCartney, who was the director responsible for the Technology Division, has resigned from the board and will be leaving the group in order to pursue other opportunities and ventures. He is departing the Company on amicable terms and the Company wishes him well.

As announced on 28 January 2011, under the terms of the Disposal, John McCartney will receive 25 million new ordinary Shares in the Company credited as fully paid. Application has been made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted for trading on AIM and trading is expected to commence on 18 February 2011.

Total Voting Rights

Following the issue of new Ordinary shares to John McCartney, the issued share capital of the Company will increase by 4.1 per cent. to 641,153 145 Ordinary Shares of 0.01p each. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (as applied to the Company by AIM Rule 17).

John McCartney's shareholding will amount to 75,000,000 ordinary shares equating to 11.7 per cent of the Company's enlarged share capital.

Change of name

The Company has changed its name from Third Quad Capital Group plc to VSA Capital Group plc. With effect from 15 February 2011, the Company's shares will trade under the TIDM 'VSA'.

The Company's website is found at www.vsacapital.com.

The Company will publish second interim results for the six months to 31 December 2010 in late

March 2011.

The Chief Executive Andrew Monk commented:

"The Company's growth and future lies with VSA Capital where we will focus on developing an institutional broking and investment banking business. We look forward to the future with considerable enthusiasm and optimism".

Maybe barnet...at 0.6p the company will be valued at only £3.7 million. Does that value in future potential.

It would only take a couple of deals to move the share price up.

I'm in at 0.55p, I dont think we will ever be able too buy at that price again.

Looking forward to see what happens on Monday, I reckon there will be a strong flurry of sales first thing as Small PI's panic, the MMs will obviously encourage the panic and drop the share price (and fill buy orders from larger funds, will Rrivington be buying if the share price drops ? I'd put money on it ,)...

I'll be looking to profit too :)

Today's news is more than a little disappointing. Whilst I never expected the software business to sell for the sort of figures being bandied around by some I did expect to see a figure of perhaps 2 – 2.5 million. I am now left with the feeling that the Softline deal from purchase to this proposed resale has been, and still is, bad news for TQC shareholders. Also the sale price does not seem to take any account of potential NHS contracts etc.
TQC bought Softline for £1.3 million and plan to sell for£ 1.3 million (effectively giving away the Formjet element of the business for nothing)and during the short period of ownership have managed to reduce the profitability of Softline from around 240K (see RNS of 12/08/10) the previous year to 46K this year. Remember that 300K of this purchase was funded by convertible loan notes subscribed for by Mr Monk and one of the RS group companies these notes will pay them an annual interest rate of 9.5% over the term and can be converted to shares at 0.55p per share going forward. We will still be paying for this after the sale is completed and will face further potential dilution if the convertible option is taken up. The remainder of the purchase was funded by the issue of additional shares for a fundraising and by Mr McCartney taking 50 million shares in lieu of cash.
Now under the proposed sale settlements Mr Mc Cartney will in total, as I understand it, be issued with a further 25 million shares most of which will be issued at a value of 0.5p per share. The remaining loan due to be repaid to him over the next five years.
Going forward then we will be left with a company with no real assets apart from the Crawley property (valued at 646K) and debts of 600k to Mr McCartney, 100K to Mr Monk and 200K to Rivington Street. All of this against a background of significant issues of additional shares and convertible share options over the last year of so, which has already or could in the future further dilute shareholders.
Now it may well be that over time Mr Monk will build up the VSA business into something worthwhile, but at the moment the VSA element of the company is probably not worth much more than 0.32p per share which would value the business at just about 2mill in my opinion (once Mr Mc Cartney's additional shares are issued).
This all makes me ask myself why, if Softline is so bad for us why do RS wish to buy it, after all as a significant shareholder of TQC they already have good exposure through their shares to any future upside and can increase that exposure via the convertible options attached to their loan notes.
One other point about the software business is the position with Ability and possible NHS contracts as it seems to me that if we did not win a contract it would not materially reduce the value of the business as currently valued whereas if we won a contract it would lead to an increase in value. I would hate to think that an announcement of a contract win would hit the wires soon after the sale is concluded. Personally, I feel we could be better sitting tight at the moment rather than selling at 1.3 million.
Anyway just my thought's, no doubt everybody will have their own views and if I have got anything wrong in my thinking please feel free to correct\disagree. I suppose on the plus side the deal will give TQC access to some working capital.

Hi all, see what you make of this regarding avct avacta

At the AGM yesterday it was confirmed that new shares were placed at full market price. This price of 1.05p is the price avct opened up at yesterday!

This is unheard of.

Normally the placing of shares are heavily discounted to make them attractive to the institutions.

For institutions to buy at full market price can only mean IMHO that Optim and other products avct are selling are doing very well, and a big leap in the share price is due.


Further to the Company's announcement on 12 January 2011 of a placing of new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("New Ordinary Shares") at a price of 1.05 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Placing") being conditional upon the passing of resolutions at the AGM giving directors authority to issue shares and disapply shareholder pre-emption rights, the Company can now proceed with the Placing

And as for IPS I was talking very short term. You can't go on to a board where the share price has risen 50% and try and say a share, that is actually red for the day, is "on the rise" again.

You can even currently buy here at mid with the share price red for the day - so not a great sign for a rise today IMHO

ihavenoclue,

That said, it is still very cheap.

I think this A Monk is an extremely good businessman.

He buys a company for 1.3 million (good price), gives the owner loads of shares (80 million, off the top of my head, I will check this number) and makes him head of the software division (paid a salary too). He also emlpoys a top guy from Apple to bring in more business and know-how.

At the same time he buys a broker service for nominal £1 and takes on the debt, knows he can make lots of money after successfully launching similar companies (lots of contacts) and send the share price roaring.

He then sells the software business at a premium and shareholders make (software director included) lots of money !

He invests the earnings from the sale in the broker service (getting the best guys in the city) and creates a minimum £40 million market cap co. ALthough I think he wants to make a lot more to prove previous colleagues wrong.

And yes, a minimum £40 million market cap. means 8x bagger todays closing share price

Pure genius.

Andre Monk:

"Andrew has a successful stock broking career spanning 25 years. In that time he has built up a strong relationship with many major UK institutions. He was employed by Hoare Govett ABN AMRO for 11 years before starting up Oriel Securities from scratch as Joint CEO, which eventually employed nearly 100 people and had a valuation of approximately £40million. Andrew later became CEO of Blue Oar Plc, where he successfully turned around its UK securities operations and its private client division as well as starting an asset management division. During his period as CEO, Blue Oar Plc made three successful acquisitions."

The guy has a lot of experience and early news would suggest he is doing the business here.

AT the current mid price 0.875p, the co. is valued at just over £5 million.

The software division is forecast to make circa £400k profit with the management receving a bonus if they hit £500k profit.

Therefore assuming a modest PE of 10, the software division would have a market cap of £5 million. This means the actual share price does not value VSA capital, which as we now know is set for strong growth.

This share remains highly undervalued and a great buy at these prices.

IMO a 10 million market cap would be more realistic based on todays update and would not account for any strong growth in VSA (or the software division).

Obviously if VSA gets going or the software division strikes a deal with the nhs, then £10 million will be laughable

A bit sceptical about the share price tracking, besides tqc only bought vsa last August. I leave it to others to make of it what they will.

DJ Third Quad Capital PLC Stmnt re Share Price Movement

19 January 2011

Third Quad Capital Plc

Statement regarding share price movement

('TQC' or 'the Company')

The Company notes the recent share price movement. TQC can confirm that it is currently in discussions with a potential acquirer of its software businesses in order that it can fully focus on its Financial Services Division as noted in the Company's trading update issued on 4 January 2011. There can be no certainty as to whether a transaction will occur, nor as to the structure or terms on which any transaction might take place. Regardless of the outcome of these discussions it is the intention of TQC to focus on VSA Capital Limited, its Financial Services division, where it has the management skills to run and successfully grow a valuable business for shareholders. Whilst this division is currently performing above expectations, VSA Capital Limited is investing for expansion which does risk constraining short term profitability as it seeks longer term value.

anyone see this?



and.....

WELCOME back former Oriel and Blue Oar broking boss Andrew Monk, with a third new business launch. Monk lost out in the battle for control of Blue Oar to "Dr Death" Edward Vandyk in 2008. But he has returned with a bang. He's struck two takeover deals to boost his new company, Third Quad Capital, which now consists of a software business and a stockbroker. Why the name? Monk likes to be reminded of his time at Oxford where he was at Oriel, was captain of the rowing club and, as his new firm attests, lived on the Third Quad at his college.

And.....!!!!!!!!!!!

Third Quad Capital Plc

("TQC" or the "Company")

Acquisition of VSA Capital Ltd and Softline Holdings Limited

Appointment of Director

Equity Placing and issue of Convertible Loan Notes to raise £600,000



Shareholders will be aware that the Board of TQC (the "Board") has been evaluating a number of potential acquisitions over several months. These have included companies in the software distribution and support services sectors, to complement our existing activities, together with businesses authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority ("FSA"). The Directors are pleased to announce progress on both of these fronts.



ACQUISITIONS



The Board is pleased to announce that TQC has acquired the entire issued share capital of VSA Capital Ltd ("VSA") and agreed terms to acquire the entire issued share capital of Softline Limited ("Softline"), (together the "Acquisitions")



VSA

VSA is authorised and regulated by the FSA and is a London based firm founded in 1989 which provides specialist corporate finance and broking services to companies, particularly those involved in the global resources, oil and gas industries. VSA is a member of the London Stock Exchange and is a PLUS markets corporate adviser.



This acquisition provides the group with an FSA regulated entity. With the proven experience and reputation of the management team of TQC, the Board is confident it can grow VSA organically to become a significant part of the group.



VSA will retain its focus on global resources and the oil and gas industries to create a specialist firm and will not seek to compete directly against the generalist UK institutional brokers that have become prevalent over the last decade.



TQC has acquired VSA for a nominal consideration of £1. VSA's audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2010 showed it had gross assets of £131,177 and generated a loss before tax of £99,292. The Board believes it can return VSA to profitability in its first full year of ownership.



Softline

The Board is also pleased to announce that it has agreed terms for the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Softline, a leading distributor of Macintosh based software based in the Crawley area and which is a complementary fit to TQC's PC based software subsidiary, Formjet Innovations Limited. By integrating the two businesses the Board anticipates cost savings and significant synergies will be generated over time. Furthermore, the Board believes the acquisition will provide Formjet Innovations Limited with critical mass and diversity across both the Macintosh and PC product arenas.



Softline's trading subsidiary, Softline UK Limited, was founded in 1989 and is an approved Macintosh distributor and brings with it an experienced team of staff who have many years of experience in the software markets.



Softline UK Limited's accounts for the year ended 30 June 2009 showed a profit before tax and management charge (which will be non recurring) of £240,005 and gross assets of £1,331,829.



The consideration payable for Softline amounts to an aggregate of £1.3 million, payable as follows:



1) £550,000 in cash payable at completion, which the vendor, will lend to the Company as a medium term loan;

2) £500,000 in cash payable in the following manner: i) £25,000 payable on completion; ii) £175,000 payable on 15 Jan 2011; and iii) the balance payable in instalments of £25,000 per month commencing 15 Feb 2011; and

3) £250,000 by the issue of 50 million shares in the Company at 0.5p



together with a further £200,000 (to be satisfied by the issue of 40 million ordinary shares) if the enlarged software division, comprising Softline UK Limited and Formjet Innovations Limited, achieves aggregate profits.
