22:01		multibagger: Many thanks for kindly sharing Boadicea - much appreciated ! A good screening tool/aide memoire as any and incorporating many of the measures I loosely use. I like to see amongst others you have mentioned.... * Demonstrable skin in the game by the Board * Ideally no debt / easily serviceable debt * No huge or recurrent capex ...but I tend to be swayed by my "instinct/gut feeling" too...so more qualitative than quantitative possibly. As Janeann has said ARC is a beautiful little gem....but volatile on small volumes, a very conservative management with no fanfare or flurry of RNSs. No drama and solidly boring in a nice way, if you can get used to it. Good luck and happy investing in ARC :)

12:08		boadicea: For once I am feeling slightly smug at having entered ARC before ST raised its profile. My reasons were almost exactly mirrored in his comments. In fact I had a seven box tick list and this is the only share of half a dozen that I was following that actually ticked all seven boxes. My feeling was that it should probaly be trading in the mid 200's rather than the 190's where it stood at the time, so a dip even below that presented a useful buying opportunity imho. There were a couple of others that rated quite well. Of these, D4T4 was relatively more expensive (and I had enough already) while Pelatro [PTRO] looked financially healthy and now lowly priced due to its sagging growth rate, the box it didn't tick. It appears to have bottomed out so I have bought it as a potential recovery prospect.

07:27		multibagger: Good morning all :) One of the rare weeks when there may be an ARC RNS....results for H1 trading till Dec 2020 is likely to be announced in the coming week. Will be interesting to see whether the rate of growth has picked up and into double figures ? Though I am not too sure on that. I hope that they have some serious plans with the cash they are sitting on which isn't earning its keep in my view. I estimate that the cash in hand could be in the region of £5.6m to 5.7m.

18:26		boadicea: I bought into ARC as a dabble at the tail end of last year as it ticked most of the boxes for me at that time. It was showing a small loss until this morning. There was no obvious cause for the drop - possibly just a mark-down on one of the poor market days of January which had not yet been reversed. Anyway, it still looked to me that 'up' was more likely than 'down' from here, so I decided to top up at the lower price - - just in time! There was no immediate online availability but a limit order was filled in about 15 mins. By noon I was in profit on my total holding and wishing I had been more adventurous (although that may not have been possible without paying a premium). ARC is one of those companies in the right business at the right time (imho). It has plenty of cash, a decent growth record and is not expensive by the standards for its sector. Definiutely not one for frequent trading as the liquidity seems limited causing a wide spread (or maybe it's the other way round!) Interim results are typically released towards the end of February although last year, with the Covid outbreak starting, they slipped into March. Either way, they'll probably be out within a month or so.

TIDMARC RNS Number : 6173Y Arcontech Group PLC 23 August 2018 ARCONTECH GROUP PLC ("Arcontech", the "Company" or the "Group") Final Results for the year ended 30 June 2018 Arcontech (AIM: ARC), the provider of products and services for real-time financial market data processing and trading, is pleased to announce its final audited results for the year ended 30 June 2018. Financial Highlights: -- Revenue of GBP2,519,699 (2017: GBP2,307,751) -- Adjusted profit before tax* of GBP626,856 (2017: GBP441,996) -- Profit before tax of GBP575,632 (2017: GBP373,263) -- Cash balance of GBP3,210,058 (2017: GBP2,636,471) -- Fully diluted earnings per share of 7.09p (2017: 3.68p) -- Final dividend of 1.3 pence per share (2017: 1.0 pence per share) *Adjusted for share-based payments Operational Highlights: -- Secured two clients for the new Desktop software solution, different uses and global deployment -- Proof of concept trials at six more Tier 1 banks -- Secured first client on the African continent -- Continued investment in sales & marketing -- Healthy injection of new contracts through expanding server-side infrastructure solutions and new Desktop software solution to existing customers -- Strong cash generation and recurring revenue Commenting on the results, Richard Last, Chairman of Arcontech said: "Arcontech is a well-run business where costs, including continued product investment, are well controlled such that increases in revenue materially improve profitability. Our focus is, therefore, on winning new business. Whilst we believe the opportunities for increased sales exist, the sales cycle is unpredictable and remains longer than we would like. Our prospects are positive, albeit they need to be tempered against uncertainties in the investment banking and finance sectors, as a result of the low interest rate environment and issues following Brexit." The information communicated in this announcement is inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014. Enquiries: Arcontech Group plc 020 7256 2300 Richard Last, Chairman and Non-Executive Director Matthew Jeffs, Chief Executive finnCap Ltd (Nomad & Broker) 020 7220 0500 Carl Holmes/Simon Hicks To access more information on the Group please visit: www.arcontech.com Chairman's Statement Arcontech Group plc ("Arcontech" or the "Company") is pleased to report another year of good growth, with profit before taxation for the year ended 30 June 2018 of GBP575,632 (2017: GBP373,263), a year-on-year increase of 54% and ahead of expectations. Arcontech achieved a profit after tax of GBP915,084 (2017: GBP470,251) for the year, this included a deferred tax credit of GBP270,000 arising from recognising previous tax losses due to the improving profitability of the Group. Turnover for the year increased by 9% to GBP2,519,699 (2017: GBP2,307,751). This was achieved mainly through additional annual licence sales to existing customers. During the year we redeployed our Hong Kong based salesman to the UK to focus on our Desktop software solution which was launched in late 2017. Since the year-end we have taken on additional sales resource to drive new sales activity whilst continuing to provide excellent account management to existing customers. Fully diluted earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2018 increased by 92% to 7.09 pence (2017: 3.68 pence). Although we have invested in additional sales resource we have maintained tight cost control throughout the year. Investment in product development and enhancement continued at similar levels to the previous year, which we expect to sustain going forward. We also expect to invest in additional marketing of our MVCS and desktop software solution in the coming year. Financing As at 30 June 2018 Arcontech had no debt and cash balances of GBP3,210,058 (2017: GBP2,636,471) after paying a maiden dividend, an increase of 21% reflecting increased profitability. The business continues to be well financed and has a robust balance sheet. Dividend I am pleased to announce that subsequent to the year-end we agreed to propose, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting, to pay a dividend of 1.30 pence per share for the year ended 30 June 2018 (1.0 pence per share for the year ended 30 June 2017), an increase of 30%, to those shareholders on the register as at the close of business on 7 September 2018, with an ex-dividend date of 6 September 2018. Employees I would like to thank our employees and my colleagues on the Board for their hard work, continued support and dedication, which is greatly appreciated. Outlook Arcontech is a well-run Company where operational gearing is such that increased sales will have a material positive impact on our profitability. We have added additional sales resource to increase our focus on new business growth and while this will add to our cost base we believe it will generate positive results in the near future. Our pipeline of prospects remains positive, albeit they need to be tempered by the traditionally long and complex sales cycles that are an enduring facet of our business. Richard Last Chairman and Non-Executive Director Chief Executive's Review I am pleased to report that during the year we maintained our focus on expanding and delivering on the sales pipeline, whilst continuing to control costs, which resulted in a profit before tax of GBP575,632 (2017: GBP373,263), an increase of 54% compared to the previous year and a creditable performance by the Group. The year under review saw two global clients that were trialling our desktop software solution signed up as paying users. Pleasingly, they have both rolled out our solution internationally. We also have six other clients running trials and secured an additional client for our cache product in Africa, our first client on that continent. The majority of our business during the year was a result of expanding our existing client relationships. Significantly, we renewed a multi-year agreement with an existing global client who is moving from a traditional market data platform to an open-source solution. As an integral part of the overall solution we expect the relationship will grow as the new solution is rolled out globally across the business. Other installations and upgrades, such as Windows to Linux, continue without issue. We relocated our Hong Kong based salesperson to London, where we believe greater opportunities exist both within the UK and also by using it as a base from where we can target other regions. We have also recruited another salesperson to help accelerate sales growth further. Learning new products and building new relationships in our domain takes time and we expect to see an increasingly positive impact towards the latter part of the current year. Our participation in the FinTech community, where we both add and receive value, continues to be beneficial for all parties. We have retained our membership of the OpenMAMA steering committee and changed our membership of the Symphony Foundation to now become a development partner with Symphony LLC. As these organisations evolve we will benefit through exposure of our solutions and the ways in which we can meet market data needs to the broader financial community. The outlook for the business remains positive and unaffected by the wider uncertainties surrounding Brexit. The length of the sales cycle has been longer that we would like, however, we believe the expanded product offering and sales capability should improve the frequency of sales. Coupled with the excellent work of our development and support teams, we continue to build on our strengths whilst working with our clients to help meet their ever-changing needs. Our overriding focus remains on sales growth and continuing to build our pipeline. We are also exploring opportunities with other organisations that will complement our offerings, whilst continuing to look for strategic acquisition opportunities that will benefit the Group. We look forward to continued growth in the year ahead.

19:28		multibagger: Courtesy of, and thanks to Xajorkith for kindly sharing....pasting the article in case the link gets corrupted. Sounds very upbeat ! We know ;) How Low Can You Go? March 20, 2018 | CJ Exposure Research Arcontech (LSE:ARC) are a microcap technology company, with an incredibly low market cap of c.£10m, however, our belief is that their prestigious client base is more representative of a large cap software services provider than a fledgling provider due to the premium nature of the consumers, which include JP Morgan, Citi and the Bank of England. They are the leading provider for the niche segment that they operation in, which is for real-time market data management solutions, where they specialise in market data distribution and trading systems based on their award winning CityVision product suite. Arcontech are helping the Tier 1 and Tier 2 names to stay at the head of the digitalisation trend, with real-time market analytics, which we believe is a trend set to gain momentum and visibility given the end-market demand for real-time data. Source: Arcontech We see a growing appetite for the application of Arcontech’s products and expect that we are in the very early stages of their growth story. Currently valued as a microcap company, we expect Arcontech’s shares to see significant upside as they are able to grow their own prestige; offering more services to their current customer pool, increasing revenues from these clients, expanding to further Tier 1 names, and gaining more Tier 2 clients as the rest of the marketplace catches up on the digitalisation trend with the end-market consumers increasingly demanding real-time data, as previously mentioned. The impartial nature of the business, being vendor independent, also adds a great appeal for Arcontech to be the provider of choice for regulatory bodies, as demonstrated during the client engagement article on their website relating to the application of CityVision MVCS to a Central Bank. The other worked examples of Arcontech’s solution include the integration and expansion of their API capabilities, combined with the Excelerator functionality for a Tier 1 trading desk query, with the end product spreading to all 20 of the client’s multi-asset trading desks. These examples display the intense level of cooperation and innovation that Arcontech holds core to its capabilities and offering, and is crucial to our belief that Arcontech will be able to expand their niche and advanced services to a larger client pool to continue to add significant value to their proposition and share price. Arcontech are able to collaborate with, and resolve the queries of, the highly demanding top tier financial institutions and given their level of ingenuity and product applicability, we believe that Arcontech will be able to continue to expand and adapt their product suite to a large range of clients who are all more than willing to engage with Arcontech in order to simplify their data needs in a world that is pushing towards more cost-efficient business. Arcontech initially gauged our attention while screening small cap tech companies for large cash piles relative to market cap, strong returns and growing revenues that aren’t priced into the shares. Arcontech fit these criteria to a tee, with net cash currently making up c.30% of its market cap and a PEG ratio of 0.67 implying that future revenue growth is only 67% priced in. Arcontech turned profitable in 2014 and have since built on their bottom-line year on year, with the expectations that this trend will continue. We see Arcontech as a huge long-term opportunity due to the innovative and compatible nature of the business; we believe that the share price will begin to reflect this as they continue to build on their impressive client base, profitability and investor exposure.
