Will Blinkx Plc And Monitise Plc Ever Make A Profit?

2015 has been a much improved year for investors in Blinkx (LSE: BLNX) and Monitise (LSE: MONI) (NASDAQOTH: MONIF.US), with the two companies seeing their share prices rise by 21% and 0.1% respectively since the turn of the year.
This is a big step forward following a disastrous 2014 that saw them lose 87% (Blinkx) and 61% (Monitise) of their value. However, can their income statements also show a marked improvement that will see them in the black within the next couple of years?
Blinkx
The major reason why Blinkx could turn its fortunes around as a business and return to profitability is its strong balance sheet. The company has a considerable cash pile of £74.5m as at September 2014 and this should provide it with the breathing space and time to put into action its plan to turnaround its performance. In fact, it allows it the scope to make considerable acquisitions that could make a real difference to its top and bottom line.
Of course, Blinkx's switch to mobile applications seems to be a sensible one. In fact, the company has stated that it is seeing month-on-month growth and that the challenges it faced last year are behind it. In fact, the market seems to agree with Blinkx, since the company is forecast to deliver a pre-tax profit of £1.9m in financial year 2017. While this is some way off, Blinkx has a good chance of meeting this forecast and, should it do so, investors in the company are likely to be handsomely rewarded.

precinct14 (90319) have you actually made that buy? As Dummy trades often go through right up to the last second and then timed out, lots of times I have had trades go all the way through to the very end and then it says you order is not being done or executed..

Now a third of the way to 100p

It looks failrly obvious to me that if he didn't come directly from Samsung then 'Blinkx recruits Sudhi Herle from Samsung' is at best disingenuous and at worst a complete porky. 'Blinkx recruits ex-Samsung Sudhi Herle' would have been the honest way to put it.

Ok - BLNX have gone up today.. and you have timed it spot-on in this company that you spend 24/7 slagging off....... and you tell us after the share price rise. lol

Only a rag could do it!

[toogood] 19/2/2015 10:21

Interesting, that trade is not actually showing yet

Spot on, and very well put.

The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces.

The weak succumb!

I cheat for the good of good!

'MM's have no stock' - so how come they'll let me pick up 100,000 at 32.90, first pop? More BS.

[football] 19/2/2015 10:13

I think what people are failing to see is that he seems to started a company which employs more people than blinks does, now I would be asking is why leave them to come and join blinkx?

It looks fairly obvious to me that any Press Release would highlight those transferable skills and knowledge base that are applicable to the recruiting company, just as an intelligent job seeker tailors their CV to the position.

His list of achievements at Samsung are what made him a desirable hire and valuable to Blinkx, the other stuff is irrelevant in that context. I don't see any issue with the wording or substance of the Press Release.
