The CEO died, they've lost huge amounts of revenue recently, with more lost revenue in 06, the former Chairman is having to return from retirement to manage the business, and they probably won't have enough cash for a further acquisition or to maintain their dividend policy. Difficult to see where the extra value is going to come from to me.

Agreed, but perhaps the balance sheet was strong due to a sizeable pension debtor and cash. Can't do anything with the pension debtor and cash will decline in line with profitability. Network rail took back in house the highly profitable maintenance and signal training, on which I suspect the group profits largely depended.

The company is now worth a third of what they were on floatation and they'll have to slash the dividend. Their AGM might be interesting.

Clarkyboy1:> You may be a little too severe but I suspect that the rail repositioning may start to impact on other areas of their business. Balance sheet was strong at 04 results (according to Refs Net cash of 7.89p per share included in NTAV per share of 36 pence. However I agree with you about potentially uncovered dividend which is very worrying.

Looks as though some people are trying to catch falling knives - too dangerous for me.

I think it's one of several things. Perhaps it's the former non exec being a tad naughty offloading his shares, anticipated bad news on the back of the 2005 interims, difficult to say. What is clear though is that the 2005 full year results will be awful, dividend the same, with the expectation of a further loss of £1m revenue during 06. There is a serious question in my mind over whether the company can remain solvent for more than the next 12 months given its limited scope to cut overheads. When they announced that the Chairman is taking a different strategic role, perhaps they realise how bad things are getting and are looking to sell.

The results for ATA Group were out today. Profits were slightly down on last year with losses/writeoffs in the newly aqcuired Ganymede Tracklayers. However, Ganymede won a significant order in January of this year so it should be contributing profits to the 2004 figures.

The Recruitment side was sluggish during last year but in common with the rest of the recruitment sector business has been picking up sharply during 2004 as the continuing economic boom produces first an upturn in Contract placements followed by an upturn in Permanent recruitment.

In 2002 the group had 783k net debt, this was transformed into 225k net cash in 2003 and the dividend has been increased.

The company is in a very healthy position with excellent prospects for the coming year.

As expected ATA Groups figures show a significant improvement in the Recruitment Division and it looks like the dark days for the Recruitment Sector (2001/2) are now behind them.

The company can look forward to high rates of profit growth and is in my view significantly undervalued.

The dividend was increased as well.

Bill Douie, Chairman commented:

"In spite of many comments that recovery has commenced, economic conditions
continue to create tough trading conditions, particularly in recruitment.
Nonetheless I am pleased to be able to report another year on year improvement
across the Group as a whole. Group turnover in the six months to 30 June 2003
increased 21% to £7.5m (2002 £6.2m). Profit before tax and before exceptional
credit rose 18% to £0.45m (2002 £0.38m).

ATA Group continues to demonstrate significant underlying strengths and
resilience during trying conditions. We have used the recent period to good
effect in continuing to improve efficiency and to make substantial investments
in IT and other infrastructure for the future.

To this end Andrew Bailey joined the Group Board on 24th April 2003 as
Commercial Director adding further top level skills and providing more time for
both the Chairman and Chief Executive to address Corporate Development matters.

Currently the part of the ATA Group (ATP) generating the profits is the Rail Training division (what used to be Catalis). They have just over a tenth (£7mil) of this market and are expanding market share.

ATA also supply on-track labour (they recently bought Ganymede Tracklayers). With this and the training side they are in a very strong position to benefit from the vast sums of money being poured into the railways.

The other main division is recruitment, originally they supplied the Automotive industry but that turned down several years ago and they moved into Telecoms, unfortunately at the wrong time! The division has been doing very well over the last 6 months as the figures due out in September will show.

Profits for 2002 showed a 40% increase to £1.4 million but this was a bit of a red herring as it included a 400K exceptional, in reality profits were flat at 1.05 mil. Profits for 2003 were expected to be in the order of 1.36 million (a 36% increase) but the information I have is that they are likely to comfortably exceed that figure.

They currently trade on a historic P/E of about 10. When the figures come out in late September I would expect the price to move up very significantly.

Another good thing about ATA Group is the dividend currently worth 4.5%

MOneybags, Certainly look like value, but what happened between August '97 and June '98? Chart doesn't look like it belongs to ATP pre June '98 and the numbers wouldn't stack up either, turnover 4.72 market cap 130 million (it's not a .com so this can't be right!) Are you sure of its history? It looks like one of those cases of a transferred epic to me.
