CYH not attending ???

[tehart] 20/10/2009 09:37

Market sentiment improving or something brewing ?
I'm liking the slow walk up on low volume, interims in approx 6 weeks.

I agree on the BF news.

Starting to look like a very tidy group of companies.

O/T Take a look at SXX, Interesting sector CAES, similarities in my mind with CYH are environment, efficiency driven, growth market and diversication opportunities...... and cheap.

iii board has some knowledgable posters

I reckon people now see a company on an hitoric PE of 5 as grossly undervalued. Maybe not so 3 months ago when there as so much doubt and uncertainty about the whole financial system. That is now fading. We may not get back to the "good" old days, but armagedon has been avoided.

So the CYH future is one of growth based on the announcements detailed above. Combined with a half decent balance sheet and the expectation of some deals being done. We now also have the potential of a dividend! So what sort of future P/E multiple is appropriate? Up to each of us to decide this, but 8 or so seems right to me, placing the share price around 75p

[sanity] 19/10/2009 21:07

That had crossed my mind. Without wishing to ramp, the Bluefinger news has real potential for a long term multi-million pound deal(s)with the EU.

[tehart] 19/10/2009 20:59

Neil gets about ...... I reckon the buys of the last few days will be him giving his new board members a tip on Cybit ;)

[sanity] 19/10/2009 17:04

Neil Johnson Chairman at Cybit (and others) is appointed Chairman at UMECO PLC

[philwill] 19/10/2009 16:38

[singinsmythe] 19/10/2009 14:29

Thx. for the news tehart/sanity, always welcome. Cheshire I think it's just moving up with the market but I'm sure an acquisition isn't far off. Surprised we moved through 39.5p finally, without news, bodes well.

BlueFinger launches Web-Delivered Electronic Catch Reporting System


• Helping fisheries authorities to minimise illegal fishing, monitor quota compliance, comply with international regulations, and conserve fish stocks

BlueFinger, the Marine subsidiary of Cybit, the UK's leading online Telematics Service Provider, has launched Saffire-ERS, a commercially available electronic catch reporting system to assist authorities to record, report and process catch-related fishing data in accordance with international fishing regulations. The accessibility and visibility of this information provided by BlueFinger's Saffire-ERS is designed to aid authorities in their efforts to reduce illegal fishing and proactively manage stocks.

Saffire-ERS enables authorities to paperlessly manage the large volume of data generated by recording the whole process of catch to sale including species, landings, transhipment and sales. This contributes to the management of conservation and sustainable harvesting of fish stocks in an increasingly global regulatory environment.


"Maintaining sustainable fish stocks is the goal for all international fisheries authorities at the moment, and any tools that help increase the accuracy and accessibility of data can be key to success in this effort," commented Steve Jones, Director of Specialist Tracking Solutions at BlueFinger. "Saffire-ERS enables authorities to automate many key reporting functions, which enhances reporting and visibility of information not only nationally, but internationally across different jurisdictions. This is essential in this global battle to combat illegal fishing."

The system went through initial trials leading to full implementation by the UK's maritime authorise managed by DEFRA. and already allows for data sharing with neighbouring states and regional facilities, including the Community Fisheries Control Agency Data Centre in Vigo.

The web-delivered database and logging system is an extension of BlueFinger's Fisheries Vessel Monitoring System, which is deployed in over 20 nation states around the globe to protect Exclusive Economic Zones and fisheries. The software development of Saffire-ERS is an extension of the monitoring services BlueFinger already supplies to the commercial fisheries market.

Steve Jones continued: "The benefits of the solution are that fisheries authorities can do away with many cumbersome paper-based processes and time taken to assimilate and analyse data. This makes reporting more accurate and easier to administer. This new level of reporting will not only help cut illegal fishing, but will also create more visible verification for legitimate fishing organisations, which can get a fisheries authority seal-of-approval for their catch."

Price creeping, creeping upwards. Is an acquisition being finalised?

Or a big contract?

Or is it just going up with the general market?

Or what?

CM.

Telematics companies are going on the offensive in an attempt to drum up fleet business.

Suppliers going bust and fears about the viability of remaining providers have hindered uptake by fleets.

However, the business case for installing telematics is convincing, provided the supplier keeps its head above water.

Fuel savings of 10% are not uncommon and returns on investment of up to 500% have been reported.

There is also the bonus that you are 95% more likely to get your vehicle back if it is equipped with telematics and is stolen.

Despite this, the majority of car fleet managers remain reluctant to invest, according to Cybit.

"Organisations have focused on the engineering and service elements of their businesses," says John Wisdom, Cybit sales and marketing director.

"However, we expect the management of work-related road safety to play an increasing role to drive uptake.

"Many of the benefits seen in the LCV market around driver behaviour and safety are immediately transferable."

Despite this, more than two-thirds of fleet managers don't have tracking installed on any of their vehicles and just one-in-10 has tracking across their entire fleet.

"There is a lack of belief in that they can get the benefits," says Bill Raynal, managing director of Tracker. "And when they have these doubts they are not going to commit to capital outlay upfront."

According to a Road Angel Fleet survey at this year's Fleet News Company Car in Action, only 11% of more than 200 fleet managers surveyed had tracking across their entire fleet, while 68% did not use it at all.

Graham Mackie, managing director of Road Angel Fleet, indicated that this was down to a lack of awareness of the benefits of telematics.

"It's understandable that fleet managers, and their finance departments, are hesitant when it comes to investing in a tracking system – it can involve a substantial capital outlay and the tangible, monetary benefits are often hard to measure," he said.

"Measuring how much fuel you save by reducing idle times or private mileage is very difficult, as are the productivity gains from more efficient vehicle use."

Road Angel has now tried to quantify the benefits of telematics.

"On average each [fleet customer] continues to save in excess of £1,000 of fuel per vehicle, per year – and that's not taking into account any insurance or maintenance savings. That equates to a return on investment of more than 500% in some cases," Mackie says.

But, even when educated to the benefits, fleet managers remain reluctant to pay upfront for hardware and installation as well as for the services.

As a result, telematics companies are adapting their business models. The arrival of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) earlier this year exemplifies this process.

"We have had to do something different," explains Raynal. "There is still much debate about PAYG, but it removes the barriers by moving risk away from the buyer and on to the seller. For the consumer that is a very good answer."

no worries ....news of interims will only be 6-7 weeks away.
We can probably leap frog the 40's and get straight into the 50's after that. all IMHO

[singinsmythe] 13/10/2009 17:05

Looks like this might need a bit of news to push it past the 39.5p resistance. An aquisition rns can't be too far away, can it ?

[tehart] 13/10/2009 15:17

I had my doubts about this one in the short term as NU and Lex also didn't do well either.
I guess with a large organisation like Ford you have to be in it, to win it.

A couple of large deals through Ford could make it.

[sanity] 13/10/2009 12:56

tehart, reading between the lines I suspect not too well?

[tehart] 13/10/2009 11:41

wonder how this is progressing ?

[sanity] 12/10/2009 21:34

We can strike Tesco off Integra client list.

[red imp] 12/10/2009 20:56

When I first read this I assumed he was a competitor looking to dig the dirt on CYH as he is specifically asking about problems. He only joined the forum this month and has asked that question twice already.

[sanity] 12/10/2009 20:05

The internet can be a dangerous place. I just wonder if somebody is being mischievous here or just innocent with the opening question.
Perhaps we could have a soap unravel?

[sll] 09/10/2009 08:14

sanity - no LP in my case (London Pride that is) but this was clearly over-valued at float, and is under-valued now.
