I can't see any dividends in future, giving these two new guys to many shares, I hope they are bringing in the business, but in these markets I doubt it.

Aaa-Choooo!

Thanks Donaferentes...good advice. At least the company seems to be doing steady business where it can. I must say these boards are far more civilised these days too. Long may it continue.

Results are usually out within weeks of the period end.


Just out of interest I found this snippet in one of the clients annual results

...Change of Advisers

During 2007 we changed our Nominated Adviser and Broker. Your Board decided it
would be sensible to find a broker who had a close affiliation with a Nominated
Adviser and, after talking with several companies, we elected to appoint Ellis
Stockbrokers as our broker and City Financial Associates as our Nominated
Adviser. Accordingly, we terminated our contract with Smith & Williamson. The
cost of the changeover was approximately £6,000.

On a bad market week, DGT seems to be holding its own - must reflect some underlying strength of the business.

Now watch her dive and be amazed!

If you're feeling sick, look at the horizon and think of your dividends!

Another one..



Formjet plc, the AIM listed alternative software vendor, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Dowgate Capital Advisers Limited as its Nominated Adviser and Old Park Lane Capital plc and Dowgate Capital Stockbrokers Limited as joint brokers to the Company with immediate effect.

WW - you have to admit, in the light of the last 2-3 days of general market gloom and doom, DGT has held up pretty well at its own lowly level. May be ours is yet to come - or maybe we ducked it. Still holding for the yield and good operating management.

kimboy2 - thanks, interesting article, although not adding much to what we already know. Would you rate Proactive as a reliable source? I've not come across it before.

The downside to DGT's business value certainly looks limited. Lower end PBT of £1m at 30% tax generates pretty much the same in cash = £700k, or 1.71p per share, added to the probable 5.74p per share sitting there already (£1.85m at year end + £500k subscribed by Edmonstone / 40.94m shares in issue)- so a 15% increase in dividend to, say, 1.15p for a yield of 11.2% seems feasible on an enterprise PE of 2.64. Even at break even they could afford to maintain last year's dividend + 15%. Where else can you get this for your money in- or out-side of a SIPP?

As Proactive suggest - they are cheap. No doubt caught in the same indiscriminate net as all financials currently. I'd buy more today, except the spread is still pretty horrific (Selftrade offering 10.6p offer on 45,000 shares and I'm not sure how long it will be till the share price recovers - so I can wait until the next ex-div date (last year was 10th August), or some movement in the SP/volume to encourage me further.

Can these go cheaper yet? Any views?

They really should not issue an RNS appearing to announce a new appointment when it is just a change of name of the company already under contract the details of which do not change one iota.

It's such a transparent sham, it does more harm than good to the rep of the companies involved.

Don't s'pose TR will stir himself to issue a trading update on/about 30th June iro H1 08 - anyone know?

Back to sleep . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

[til fat lady sings] 13/6/2008 09:53

jsc,

CFA (DCA) were already broker to both of the above - the reason for the statements is the changeover to DCS.

No net gain.
