04/3/2008 18:23 | GCI Focus Solutions - BUY Companies: FSG 04/03/2008 Maiden first-half profits from Focus, a provider of software services for the financial sector, point to good progress but a diminished share price is undermining its ability to make acquisitions. Chief executive Richard Stevenson, who has pulled the underperforming company up by its britches over the past two years, says recent weakness in the share price needs to reverse before he will consider using paper for acquisitions. 'We're there or thereabouts. We still want to fill in a few gaps in our offering.' Stevenson has broadened the Leamington Spa-based company's focus from pensions and life assurance into banking, mortgages and the public sector, as well as expanding the software's capabilities. This helped Focus to deliver a reversal from losses to profits before tax and interest of £400,000 for the six months to September, as sales grew by 43% to £4m. While Focus is increasingly looking to sell its services as single products, as opposed to selling bespoke solutions, the latter remains its bread and butter it recently secured lucrative further work with HSBC to build its wealth management system. Meanwhile, the first client to move to the 'focus:360°' product is mortgage network Homes for Choice, whose £820,000 minimum contract in March represented a huge validation of the product's potential. Focus hopes to continue converting the pipeline of existing clients and outside opportunities, which is, says Stevenson, 'stronger than ever'. At current levels, Focus looks oversold on wider sector concerns and forecasts from new house broker Daniel Stewart imply you can pocket shares for only 6.4 times full year earnings. They offer good recovery potential. Buy. | stegrego | |

26/2/2008 20:46 | From Dan Stewart TP of 57p "Focus is already implementing Phase One of the software system to support HSBC's sales channels for life, pension and other investment products in a contract which we estimate at £6m. Phase Two is expected to be of a similar scale and covers HSBC's IFA sales process including off-line services. HSBC comments that "Focus was the obvious choice for this substantial project" and "has continued to demonstrate a domain knowledge that makes us confident that they will provide an effective solution for our financial planning managers in 2008". In addition, Focus CEO Richard Stevenson notes that, in fact "current economic conditions are leading to large financial institutions placing an even greater value on regulatory and compliance driven projects"; in other words the sector requires more, not less, of the integrated services Focus delivers. Focus has implemented a component-based approach to its software systems, aiming at a more continuous contract flow going forward. Nevertheless the Phase Two HSBC contract is factored into our positive outlook. We expect March 08 PBT of £1.66m (+34%YoY) and in March 09(e) £2.06m (+25%YoY). Focus trades on a FY09 EV/EBITDA of 2.5x, and 3.9x PE, indicating an ideal opportunity to BUY on this positive news." | giddygoat | |

Long way to go but a little optimism seems to be growing in the market and as long as we can avoid any mishaps over the next 2 weeks I can see the market turning dramatically and a lot of our low pe good value stocks coming back quite a bit. Good luck | greek islander | |
