The OFT review uncertainity can't be helping attract new investors but they are doing the right thing paying of debt.

At this rate the full year numbers will have net cash

guru, what is that EU legislation all about. any OFT implication uncertainty will never encourage buyers. based on a p/e of around 3 this appears to offer good value. on balance sheet the company run a small negative net asset value
due to the size of intangibles, however the take out time scale of the intangibles is also only 3 to 4 years based on the current net earnings position going forward, which is low.
it has always suprised me why there is such a lack of investor interest in such co's, i can only presume the lack of tangible asset base may be a reason
as TAL is another example.
Guru, when is the next update here plse

It is time for investors to go to Starbucks and get a wake up coffee. Why

DMP - offer price now 7.8p pe ratio just 3.6.

You would think that DMP is heading for disaster on this sort of price instead of being a well managed companay with a good 4 year track record.

These are still only on a pe ratio of 4.1. Even if one just sits on them for 3 or 4 years and they maintain the current profit levels it would be amazing if the share price did not rise, as they are getting cheaper and cheaper on fundamentals. When will Joe Public investor wake up to this? These should be worth at least 12p.

The only thing is that DMP share price could tread water and may even once again drift, dispite the low rating. However it will be interesting to see what the Investors Chronicle write about DMP as they do favour the stock. My guess is that they will have it down as a buy, but even this may not move the stock.

Normally with consistantly low rated stocks they do achieve true value given time. DMP has good management and has achieved consistantly good results so I am sure that given time we will see this stock re-rated even if it does take 2 or 3 years. I am in for the long term.

We've seen a string of small sells of late. The price has had to drift.
Even today 10 November we have seen a small sell and a further 1/4p drop in the price. Not good.

Not even a write up (unless I have missed it) in the Investors Chronicle either.

A bottom draw job, until the price does actually recover. Punters have really lost confidence even with a small well run company with proven directors.

No doubt in my mind that this stock is very much unloved and must be cheap.
I can see the price moving again next April when they announce final results.

The Investors Chronicle should have one of their buy articles on DMP when they do write it up, although they do not always do a write up straight after results. One to hold on to for a better share price.

Looks like as usual that it will be another waiting game until another set of results, before any more interest is generated in this stock, that is why some punters are jumping ship. I can still see this share price substantially above todays level in 2 to 4 years time though.

Acquisition update:

DM has firmly established itself as the UK market leader in its two core market sectors of response based customer recruitment and direct mail. The acquisition of DLG presents the Group with an opportunity to rapidly establish critical mass and an influential market position in consumer lifecycle database marketing to the direct marketing industry.

DM has a track record of making selective acquisitions at the right price and rapidly improving the acquisitions' financial performance, whilst integrating them into the wider Group. As part of the turnaround and integration process for DLG, the DM Board has today reached an agreement with Mr Hugh Villiers to become non-executive Vice Chairman of DLG, to assist the Board in the turnaround of DLG.

Hugh is a successful entrepreneur who has a proven track record in building and growing consumer lifestyle businesses having been involved in the initial development of the lifestyle data collection sector in the early 1980's. He successfully helped found and develop CMT Ltd, Consumer Access Ltd and Consodata UK Ltd where he held the role of Managing Director at all three companies. Each of these businesses established profitable, market leading positions in their respective sectors and where ultimately subject to successful trade sales, which have, by various routes, ended up with all of them being a part of the Acxiom UK group of companies. Hugh will, in his role as non-executive Vice Chairman of DLG, act as a consultant to the Group and will be remunerated on a success only basis by reference to the financial
performance of DLG in the financial years ending 31 December 2011. The Company may, at its election, satisfy any such success-only payment due to Mr. Villiers in cash or by granting him a comparable level of nil cost options to acquire shares in the Company. It is intended that any such options will be granted within 15 business days of the publication of the Group's results for the relevant financial year.

Share Sale and Directors Dealing
In order to further demonstrate Mr Villiers' confidence and commitment to his role as DLG Vice Chairman, Hugh has today acquired from Adrian Williams, DM Chairman, 15,290,520 ordinary shares in DM, at 9.81 pence per share (the "Sale Shares"), for a total cost of £1.5 million. Additionally, Mr Villiers has granted a power of attorney to Adrian Williams who shall be able to vote the Sale Shares at any meetings of shareholders of DM. Such a power of attorney shall be irrevocable until the earlier of: (i) Adrian Williams ceasing to have an interest in DM securities representing at least 51 per cent of the issued share capital of DM; and (ii) Mr Villiers ceasing to hold any ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the issued share capital of DM and/or options to subscribe for ordinary shares.
Following the sale, Mr Villiers will hold 15,290,520 ordinary shares in DM, representing 10.51 per cent. of the Group's issued share capital. Adrian Williams shareholding will be reduced by 15,290,520 ordinary shares from 117,545,565 to 102,255,045, representing a decrease of 10.51 per cent. to, in aggregate, 70.27 per cent. of the Group's issued share capital.

AIM Rule 17 Disclosure
Subject to the requirements of AIM Rule 17, Adrian Williams, Chairman, has notified DM that Olan Mills Limited, the chain of family photography businesses of which he was a director, has been placed into administration.

Outlook
The Board of DM believes that the Group has an opportunity, with the acquisition of DLG, to create a market leading fully integrated off and on-line lead generation and direct marketing services Group. The addition of Hugh Villiers to the management of the Group, with his proven track record in the consumer lifestyle industry in both growing and successfully selling consumer lifestyle businesses, enhances this vision.

RNS ends ....

My own thoughts, clearly HV will be well incentivised to make the DLG acquisition a success. On the down side, Adrian Williams is reducing his investment (this share sale and the recent dividend taken in cash). Good news must be that despite the cash cost of DLG, this must already have been covered from cash flow given that the directors have not used the scrip dividend option (see pre Xmas RNS re scrip dividend shares issued)

guru - we are approaching october 24th (ie the xd day).

This should probably increase in the coming days as investors want a good divi return. My concern is that it may drop after the 24th!

It has been said that DMP target not the A rated people - like myself who has more sense and 'on principle' will not phone 090 or now 030 numbers but the C and D rated people for these competitions. One has to remember though that people do have a choice whether or not to dial 090 numbers, and most of us do realise the cost of doing so. Is it not a regulatory thing now that the cost of the phone call per minute is displayed on anything advertising 090 numbers? I take the point that the Paper may believe that punters are being conned, as per the TV quiz program punters surely are.

Question - Are the TV programs - and the numbers are growing - who get 400,000 calls or so in 4 hours at a cost of 75p a call with the chance of winning say £1,000 in the same league as DMP, with principles. The punter really has little chance of winning or even getting through to win.

Has DMP let investors down in the last four years? -
The performance of the share price has certainly not lived up to expections.
I believe the next set of results are due at the end of September.
