Applying the concept of "cookie jar accounting" then it might be reasonable to assume a loss this time around...

[unionhall] 10/11/2006 14:19

I understand Interims are due 15th or 16th. (All going to plan)

[deadfred2] 09/11/2006 23:25

not if more contracts are in the pipeline it wont

[unionhall] 09/11/2006 23:16

It will be a very steep climb to £2m profit in 2008 then.....

[integer] 09/11/2006 22:54

I think the house broker is looking for a £150k loss, still would be an improvement on prior periods and continues the rapid trend towards profits.

[unionhall] 09/11/2006 22:39

The interims may not include enough of the recent contracts to be really good.

But a £1 profit or higher with a positive trading statement would be good to confirm the financials are moving in the direction we all expect.

[deadfred2] 09/11/2006 22:11

well union looks like it might be rockin and rolling now and if there is a little bit of more news or three then wee might have some fun with interims

[unionhall] 09/11/2006 21:27

Excellent -

[integer] 09/11/2006 20:20

have checked with XN and it looks like its mandatory. Here is an extract of the response I received...

"Red24 is included with any XN Financial product purchase, and both the online data and the daily alerts are included."

So it depends on the number of clients they have - but looks a tad more promising than the odd purchase here and there.

[unionhall] 09/11/2006 20:00

integer,

"menu of value added-services" sounds discretionary to me.

I just use a google news alert.... for "red24"....

[integer] 09/11/2006 19:37

union - if you don't mind me asking, how did you find the link to the press release - what search engine/criteria did you use?

[integer] 09/11/2006 19:21

XN have 50 employees, don't know client volumes. I wonder if this is a discretionary product (low volume and high margin). If it is, probably insignificant revenue impact. Either way, good news.

[unionhall] 09/11/2006 17:03

Perhaps not significant in size - good for confidence tho....

[rcktmn] 09/11/2006 16:59

strange..no RNS etc.. ?
Perhaps they'll include in their interims..shortly to be released.

[unionhall] 09/11/2006 16:53

another contract....

not long to go before we get the next set of interim results... last yr they were released on 16thNov... could be released any day now... can't see any reason why results would not be to expectations.. may even get a nice surprise if the performance is ahead of plan..

[deadfred2] 06/11/2006 22:09

agreed interger

last results did not take into account the last bit of new aig contract
and as you say one or even three bits of news could start the ball rolling
i remember reading something about the confidence of the company to say they will be in profit of(if i remember right) 2 million by 2008 that was said before the aig contract was included

so as far as i see its

onwards and upwards from here

if i remember right they have also been asked for comments regards security issues on sky news and on bbc so ppl are starting to notice what the companies about

so as the old saying goes "slowly slowly catch a monkey"

lets hope this monkey starts climbing the big trees

just my opinion dyor as always

[integer] 03/11/2006 20:16

its a tight market either way (it certainly was the case when I tried to get any sort of size under 1p) if a couple of contracts are announced or confirmed profitable then it may get squeezed up further.

[explorer88] 03/11/2006 13:00

hi integer

i've not yet invested in ARC, i think the share price may fall back to the 0.75p level (at which point i would be interested).

i see that 400,000 shares were sold today at 0.7p

[deadfred2] 27/10/2006 22:02

yip
and this time they should be very good with directors buying and the new contracts since last report should be writen in

could be quit interesting imho

dyor as always

[rcktmn] 27/10/2006 12:59

not long to go before we get the next set of interim results... last yr they were released on 16thNov.
