Indeed. I reckon it won't go higher than 5p any time soon :-P

[integer] 15/2/2007 21:50

where do you get the 8p from?

[integer] 15/2/2007 20:57

2.75m is a tad different to the 30 million or so you are suggesting they could have bought. I can guarantee that they would not have been able to buy 30m at 0.7p. They would have had to offer a price significantly above 0.7p to attract sellers.

Integer
There is some liquidity
Sidebell appears to have bought 2.75 m shares in a
single day on 13 Feb
and I didnt hear from anyone here who spotted them doing it

[integer] 15/2/2007 18:51

chairman2, are you saying anyone can just go into the market and snap up 9% of the shares?

The liquidity just isn't there!!

[wiganer] 15/2/2007 11:37

Given that my average is well under 1p, I'm pretty relaxed about the granting of options at that level. If your average is above that, then you may be less happy, but otherwise I don't see the problem.

[chairman2] 15/2/2007 11:28

Wiganer

just read your last post.

If ARC's Chairman wanted another 9% he'd have bought
them two days ago at 0.7p and saved himself 30% of the cost
of exercising the options.

Whats up is that the company may want to see those options
issued as it continues to blow our equity for the piddling
amount of petty cash it would raise for them.

And contributes £230k to the company coffers....

[wiganer] 15/2/2007 11:21

"Out of the money options are irrelevant."

Not when they are close to being in the money and would give him an extra 9% or so of the company...

[chairman2] 15/2/2007 11:19

Looks like a boardroom powerplay to me.

Out of the money options are irrelevant.

[deadfred2] 15/2/2007 10:12

so someone else has seen what others have not

lol

[unionhall] 15/2/2007 10:04

An interesting figure is the 27.5m options at 1p which must be exercised by June 30th, 2007.

Sidebell holds about 23m of these so a good target to watch.

Simon Richards will not want to miss out on that potential windfall. It will take his holding to approx 25%.

[deadfred2] 15/2/2007 09:57

well they were just under breaking evens lastime so new deals and stuff should push then through that at least

with the directors and staff buying in with the thought of 8 mill profit by 2008 this beginning to not only look good but to coin a phrase cheap as chips

waiting to see were is settles then some more for me

my avrg is way below .7 so im sitting pritty just now

mm i mean way below just in case you think you can flood this to its knees
if you do ill have me waders on to catch you you robbin bunch of mm

imho of course

[wiganer] 15/2/2007 09:57

Top of the gainers board. Might attract a bit of interest.

[rcktmn] 15/2/2007 09:51

deadfred2... know what you mean.. I originally got in at 2p some 3/4yrs ago and then again at just under 1p more recently so I feel particularly agrieved etc.

Hopefully, things are turning around now.. good couple of announcements this week. Hopefully we'll get an excellent trading update end of March and then a good set of results late May.. I think this is looking much better now..(imho)

[deadfred2] 15/2/2007 09:30

i dont care if your wrong or if your right

i have been sitting on these for a wee while now

buying small amounts as we went

three days ago i had a slight hiccup on one of my shares

i set a stop lose that should not have been triggered but it was(gtl)
so three days ago i bought with the monies i had some more(well a lot more lol)arc

now instead of the mm shafting me im now about to rodger them

lol

bend over mm ill through some sand on it first just to get some grip you robbin movars that you are(in my opinion that is)

[spacecowboy3] 15/2/2007 08:43

rcktmn

Yes - but don't forget that the same thing happened to the share price after Director purchases last July, only for it to fall back to where we were at the start of the week :-(

Very encouraging nonetheless but I suspect it make take some good numbers in the next set of results before the share price really moves. Hope I'm wrong!

sc

[rcktmn] 15/2/2007 08:11

seems like more good news... share price now going in the right direction at last!

A 2.5M buy earlier.

Thanks - I hadn't spotted that.

[mjcrockett] 13/2/2007 09:30

SC, In the chairman's statement from the last final results it says:- "For the year as a whole we have maintained the growth in revenues referred to in the interim statement and red24 sales, which were more than five times those of the corresponding period last year, now comprise over 60% of group revenues."

So I guess today's statment is a more medium term statement rather than the 50% level just having been reached.

MJ

[spacecowboy3] 13/2/2007 09:12

From the EGM RNS -

"Sales of our red24 product have continued to grow, both in absolute
terms and as a proportion of Group revenue, and now contributes over 50% of the
Group's turnover, .......

Does anyone have a breakdown of revenue by division for previous years? I've had a quick look at the last results but didn't see one. I was wondering if we could use the "over 50% of Group t/o" point above to guestimate the level of current sales.

sc

[mjcrockett] 13/2/2007 09:02

Yes, a nice contract and news that Red24 sales have increased in the second half. I think the name change is a good idea. Apart from anything else there are several other listed companies called 'Arc'. So good news all round - except the share price has not reacted at all.
