Dear stock market, thank you for correcting downwards and giving me more cheap shares. Kind regards, investor

"Celaton Limited, authors of inSTREAM, the leading intelligent document processing platform, has been acquired By AdvancedAdvT Ltd ("ADVT"), the London Stock Exchange listed company.

ADVT is led by tech entrepreneur, Vin Murria, one of Celaton's most supportive investors since June 2021. This means Celaton, along with four other companies acquired by ADVT recently (July 2023), becomes part of a larger group.

All Celaton colleagues will remain in their roles when the company transfers to the new owners on completion.

Jim Chase, Celaton's Executive Chairman said, "Celaton naturally aligns with ADVT’s focus of empowering customers by streamlining complexities, automating repetitive tasks, and ultimately enhancing productivity, compliance, and engagement. The transaction is a great opportunity for our customers and our team alike. We will have access to more investment as well as a larger pool of digital transformation expertise across the wider group."

The enlarged group will consist of five companies: IBSS, CHKS, Retain, WFM and Celaton."

There should be a trading update in May for the FY to end Feb.
Hopefully an initiation note will be released on the back of that.
Many investors trade for a few pennies but this looks like a buy-the-dip long term hold IMHO :-))

The share price is quiet for now and holding firm, but there are plenty possible future catalysts which might drive it higher.

Further acquisitions are highly likely. VM is well known for these and her prior successes with Kewill, CSG and ASW were in part down to a focussed acquisition strategy. According to the trading update on Jan 8th:

“M&A is a core part of AdvT's strategy and there has been a notable increase in inbound opportunities. The Board will continue to evaluate these against its acquisition criteria.”

so it’s only a matter of time before a further acquisition is announced imo.

The existing businesses are bedding in as planned:

“AdvT's performance for the six months ended 31 December 2023 aligned with the Board's expectations.”

but VM will be looking to improve performance in each of them:

“Avenues for deploying financial and operational resources and investments to enhance the organic growth of AdvT have been identified.”

so there is scope here for future news releases pertaining to improved performance.

Lastly, the shares are very much under the radar at the moment. Increased coverage will come in time I’m sure as investors pick up on the growth and acquisition story. However there is also the possibility that a well-known tipster / tipsheet will cover ADVT. The editor of SCSW for example states that he “has known Vin Murria for many years”, and the tipsheet covered CSG and ASW historically fairly frequently.



The share price is still only just above where VM bought in 3 years ago, so it continues to present a great long term buying opportunity imo. I have confidence that in the months and years ahead that ADVT will be a different beast entirely with a much larger market cap and share price. Watch this space!

First pullback opportunity letting investors get in at the same level as Vin Murria.

With £17.5 million invested at 100p, she's clearly in for the long haul and a significant move up.

“AdvancedAdvT has remained focused on its disciplined acquisition strategy since its GBP130 million capital raise in March 2021 under the highly capable leadership of Vin Murria. During the period, AdvancedAdvT successfully acquired a group of five software businesses from Capita at what we believe is a highly attractive valuation. With a substantial war chest still remaining following these acquisitions, AdvancedAdvT is now poised to explore synergistic acquisition opportunities and we see significant scope for value creation.”

None of the big investors have made any significant changes in their holdings. They've held on through thick and thin , even the Saatchi mess. They will have sought reassurance for their investments and obviously have received it which gives me confidence that there is a compelling reason to hold ADVT

"AdvancedADVT (LSE: ADVT) raised money at 100p to allow seasoned software investor Vin Murria to acquire software businesses and improve them. Murria has had three successful iterations of this strategy at Kewill Systems, Computer Software Group and Advanced Computer Software Group. She raised money and invested £16m herself at 100p per share. Today the shares languish at 71p and the firm has around 95p per share in cash and shares. Paradoxically, the more difficult the economy, the better the odds of finding the bargain needed to kick off “the investment story”. The shares could bounce by 50% or more on a deal, and would return 95p-plus in the unlikely event that no deal is found. It’s a small company, but one widows and orphans could readily invest in."

Interesting scenario in relation to another recent (3 years) tech IPO falling in price. Possible recovery situation or value trap? No position but onto my watchlist.

MARWYN VALUE INVESTORS LIMITED - Annual Report and Financial Statements 2022

“Our investee companies, such as AdvancedAdvT led by Vin Murria OBE, have demonstrated agility and discipline in their investment activities. Although the offer for M&C Saatchi did not proceed, the financial impact on AdvancedAdvT was minimal. With over £100 million in cash, a strong roster of institutional investors, and a significant decline in technology valuations, we believe AdvancedAdvT is well-positioned for 2023 under Vin's leadership.”

“The acquisition vehicles have exercised patience in identifying and executing platform deals, evaluating a significant number of opportunities. With the Fund maintaining its cash resources during these uncertain times, it is well-positioned to support the acquisition vehicles as they progress with their stated investment strategies throughout 2023 and beyond.”

A low risk / high reward opportunity here for sure.

77.6p in cash and around 17p for the SAA shares so 95p if VM winds this up. That would be a gain of 28% or so from the current 74p offer.

And if she manages to find an acquisition and do what she has done before with Computer Software Group and Advanced Computer Software, then potentially huge upside with both of those being a 10x.

Possible that the price has drifted to the current silly level as some investors got bored, thinking they could do better elsewhere. But what it has presented is a great opportunity to buy the shares at less than cash with the huge potential upside that VM can bring and the 12 million Saatchi shares in for free.

One day there will be a transformative RNS and those who sold due to boredom will be kicking themselves.
