Great to see them continually winning business whilst completely under the radar. I continue to accumulate here. Monster business in the making imo.

Agreed, I took an entry position this morning, on open. Cyber Security is the hottest of hot sectors and it affects almost every industry with companies having to throw every increasing amounts of money at it. Tom came across exceptionally well on his interview with Justin Waite and seems like an honest, level headed and highly experienced hand. They have an impressive board and I particularly like their strategy of commercialising university IP. There seems to be momentum behind the firm with two contract wins in the last few weeks and they appear to want to de-risk by growing their portfolio up to about 8 different products. All in all there is a lot to like here and it certainly seemed worth taking a stake while they remains under the radar.

Looks like a very interesting company.

Operating in a red hot sector, with massive room for growth.

Or it's a very large board for such a small company :)

[a_game] 19/2/2019 15:43

Added to my position here today. Will continue to research & accumulate whilst under the radar.

Surprised no one is talking about this stock yet. All it takes is a 1 minute search of the bod to see what an opportunity this is.

More great news this morning - revenue nicely building under the radar

[a_game] 11/2/2019 22:34

Solid trading update today - fantastic to see the high growth part of the biz (software sales) up 100% YoY. The best bit for me was the numerous sales wins recently... this is going to be a big story soon :)

[a_game] 29/1/2019 13:46

Nice one toffeeman. Going to get exciting here soon imo

[toffeeman] 27/1/2019 20:00

I am in via Guinness AIM EIS

[a_game] 27/1/2019 17:21

I'm glad this one remains quiet for now. Filling my boots slowly here :)

Expecting trading update early Feb so that may put it on the watchlists of the herd..

Some of my buys helping move the share price up today. I've been very impressed with my research findings over the past few weeks.

Exciting little company backed by strong experienced leadership team and a tiny (<15%) free float.

[tini5] 14/1/2019 13:46

Nice move up today, managed to get in just before it went silly although had been watching since last week thanks to a friendly word in my ear.

Have been trying to compare offerings against CloudFlare who I think are pretty dominant in this space right now. As far as I can tell, CloudFlare don't do anything on-premises though which is where Crossword fill the gap.

Some big names on the leadership team as well and loving the university connections as that's a great source of research data, especially when their networks are a breeding ground for malicious code.

Very pleasing. I bought last year on Nex. A keeper.

Hello tim,let's hope this is a nice peaceful thread and doesn't descend the depths like some others.

[timbo003] 14/12/2018 09:03

I subscribed for a few shares in the most recent placing which accompanied the IPO on AIM (290p/share) and in the previous placing in March when they were listed on NEX (270p/share). The shares in both placings qualify for EIS tax reliefs, so HMRC will refund 30% of the purchase price (for eligble UK tax payers), it also it means that VCTs are likely to get involved (TR1s awaited).

I attended the AGM on May 30th (the only retail investor present) which was informative and posted up a few notes for the ShareSoc AGM forum:

[johnyee 7] 14/12/2018 08:08

Was on nex now listed on aim. Will it be an aim success or disaster?

[linhur] 18/10/2011 09:33

Good news. Board is doing its stuff. It looks like city expect 30p bid.At least that would make a doubling of pre-price bid.

[linhur] 14/10/2011 10:58

It looks to be shaping up to be quite an interesting bid situation with several parties having an interest.
Enigmatic is making quite a play on their offer only being available until the first closing date on 19 October.
The board has made a robust defence from holding a weak hand.
Only one major interest holder (Henderson) has followed Herald in getting out at 23p and selling to Enigmatic.
No doubt Tony Houldsworth and the US Entertainment division is looking at the possibilities.
Bob Morton and colleagues probably sit on 25-29% of the votes although I would not expect a bid from them.
Other software companies will probably run a sliderule over Clarity.
Any way my take is that no company ever accepts the first offer and until Enigmatic give their response after the first closing date, it will be difficult to judge any final price that Clarity might be sold for.
kind regards
Linhur

Bye bye Ken

Seems they have little cash - not a good position to be in.
