"Lost over 2m cash in the last six months" What do you think this is, Wirecard - perhaps the cash was in a Philippines bank account?! :)

I would have thought such movements in cash could quite easily be explained by normal working capital movements, and the cash is up over the 12 months.

Profits in line with expectations.

Lost over 2m cash in the last six months. The implementation side suffering.

700p coming. I hope.

Valh… I was in the same position - kept watching it fluctuate above and below the £6 mark. Even thought of top slicing to get a few back when it did pull back.... at least I didn't do that, and surprisingly nicely in profit from todays purchase at 641p.

Quality comes at a price I suppose. The interim outlook statement above is pretty positive. Look forward to a Jan update then.

Janeann - I was looking to add as well - hoping that there might have been a pull back in the price after the cash return; the P/E seemed a bit rich. There should be an update in January.

added a few this am; watched it for a while and should have bought at £6 with the cash return proceeds. Stunning rise after being dormant for so long. Looking forward to the next update. Last year there was a trading update in October; nothing so far yet.

The last update was in July when they said this..... Aptitude Software has made excellent progress in the first half of 2019, both corporately and operationally, and is well placed for continued success in the second half of 2019 and future years with its growing installed base, expanded portfolio of product and service offerings, extended worldwide presence and well-established global partner network

Boom .... perfect rise

[shauney2] 15/10/2019 15:17

A good point but i meant the rise after they announced the possible return from the sale of Microgen systems.SP was around 450p then.

In conjunction with the B share issue they have reduced the number of A shares held by each shareholder to aim to keep the share price roughly unchanged. Check out the announcements about the B share issue, and check your current holding.

[shauney2] 11/10/2019 16:06

Payment in.I was expecting this to drop on the back of the B divi but holding up well.

[valhamos] 04/10/2019 13:47

Dividend today, B shares payment next Thursday.

[janeann] 04/10/2019 07:51

haven't had mine yet that's with ajbell

[2bluelynn] 27/9/2019 12:12

Says payment October the 4th I think

[countryboy] 27/9/2019 10:38

Has anyone received their payment for the sale of the B shares yet?

[janeann] 24/9/2019 07:59

so will the new shares be issued on time...….. and how will holders know if they have new or old ones?

[coincall] 03/9/2019 13:24

Basically a return of cash which is a capital gain to you via the B share rather than a special dividend which would be additional earnings.

[from8to800] 03/9/2019 07:39

Can someone explain today's rns in plain English?

[pejaten] 21/8/2019 16:23

Wonder whether the delay in making the cash return I because they have found a better use for the money

[peterc1970] 07/8/2019 16:32

Negative most of the day, then a burst of volume took it positive and up at about 4.10pm. I wonder what that was about, perhaps peer group related in the US

[peterc1970] 25/7/2019 18:15

Some sellers at the ATH of 520, now cleared it seems.

[orange1] 24/7/2019 15:17

You could start with changing your ADVFN name ;-)

[malcontent] 24/7/2019 14:54

held these since 80p Microgen days

Liking the name change effect on the share price!

Might look at changing some of my poor performers' names....

[shauney2] 24/7/2019 12:18

Mod,as you say very much under the radar.Its been a cracker for me over the years.If only they were all like that.
