I have asked for this newsletter but have absolutely no idea what it will provide.

richjp, whilst I wholeheartedly agree that we need better/consistent communication )I have been a major critic), I don't think it would be wise for GHT to commit to quarterly updates.

GHT is still relatively small business so some major 'deal' or two dropping the wrong side of the announcement deadline is likely to generate 'misinformation'. Also I want to see GHT concentrating on the business of winning deals rather than looking at a very short term quarterly view and potentially becoming distracted. In short I think that quarterly reporting is only really appropriate for a amjor business.

I get the feeling that GHT, from what is announced and said on here, is moving so fast at the moment and that this is possibly the reak out year as indicated/hoped for by Manocha. However, totally agree that an early July half year announcement would be appropriate.

You say you went to the AGM, well done, what was the management confidence level like, very high? The report from the shareholder presentation was very positive so presumably nothing has changed.

Very exciting times ahead in my view - MIFID II, IFRS 9, PSD2 - a fast changing world.

By the way if you go onto the GHT website and the Investor Section, you get an invite to subscribe to a newsletter.

I agree that it is consistency that we need. For example leading up to the AGM we all wanted a TU or AGM statement, whatever you wish to call it, however there was no feeling of certainty that we would actually get one. Ideally I would like them to issue a statement stating that in the future we will receive quarterly updates.

If we get regular quarterly updates it will also be fine with me and if so then I would not expect RNS or press releases of client wins in the interim. However, there is no consistency with Gresham and that is the main problem. And whilst the company is a public listed company it is only right they keep investors informed, especially when they have investors who have supported them over the decades.

On a more positive note, we may be in the early stages of a turnaround in the share price

miti,

I was also at the investor presentation however my understanding as to what they said regarding investor communication is very different to yours. I thought they acknowledged that things could be improved and would look at means of doing so.

I went to the AGM this week. At the start of the informal Q&A session after the meeting, I voiced the opinion that the trading update issued on the day could have provided a bit more information, particularly with regard to the cash position. I was told in response that it was not actually a TU but an AGM statement therefore the content was different. I was not too happy with that answer, so I pointed out although technically it was not a TU, many people would probably perceive it as one and certainly discussions on this board in recent weeks clearly show that people were expecting a TU. They did again acknowledge that someone does keep an eye on what is said here.

I then suggested that when it comes to the half year results, I would like to see a TU issued shortly after the half year end on 30th June, as the figures although unaudited are known. After all they issued a TU on 9th January shortly after the 2016 year end, so I see no reason why we should have to wait until late August, as in past years, for information regarding the half year.

I also said that I was disappointed that there was no third quarter or autumn TU last year and I felt that there should be one this year. My view remains that if we get regular quarterly updates that will be fine.

My views were acknowledged and it I got the impression that my suggestions would be considered.

In case I am sounding like Mr. Grumpy, I was supportive of the board in regard to other discussions and remain a holder.

I note the continued comments on the lack of investor communication .Manocha made it pretty clear to me at investors presentation that GHT are not bothered at increasing their communication so I suggest investors just live with it. In reality, only 4 of us could be bothered to turn up to the presentation, so you could hardly blame him for making that clear, especially with such shareholder apathy.

He said they had much more important things to do as they were working at full tilt with the resources they had . Yes, progress is not as fast as many of us would like but the agm statement was reassuring.

In the meantime, as I mentioned a few months back, we have an aggressive seller who is keeping a firm lid on any share price gain and there are no big buyers to take him out. As I found with MCGN , there was a big seller for many months at 185 but once he gets taken out and sentiment changes, the share price can motor on. Its now 325. I fully expect that scenario to play out here once the market appreciates that GHT is on an upward curve.

Well the strong AGM statement did not surprise and I hinted at this with the share purchases/movement(drop) immediately prior to the AGM, seems somebody was in the know!

Signing 5 new CTC customers pretty much keeps up the run rate of one per month, GHT had only previously announced 2 of these I believe. Yes no numbers are quoted and there is no indication, as yet, that a breakthrough is being achieved.

Confidence does seem to remian high and with Manocha being named as a the top 10 UK data entrepreneur in The Data 50 Awards increased the spotlight and profile of GHT.

Communication, as DD points out, is still very much work in progress. My view however is that GHT are keen to remain on the prudent side and without misleading the market keeping back all they can. We have had extensive discussion on here about the N1 Singer 2018 forecast, most of us on here think it is 'baloney' especially as their detailed report is much more bullish.

I think the truth is that we are being told the very minimum. I personally believe that the half year numbers will be very good.

As always DYOR.

Maiden purchase this morning following strong AGM statement. Been on my watch list since Techinvest started coverage a while ago. They added to their portfolio @157.5 post results in March. SCSW also initiated with a BUY back in Feb @152p. dyor

Apparently the tea boy was appointed to make company announcements, but no one told him it was a full time job.

I am sure its the case with most jobs, you would lose your job if you only made half attempts in your job. You would think we would be used to this from Gresham.

Any upgrades are likely after interims are announced. I am sure I saw small adjustments in the forecasts around that time in previous years. Obviously we hope for a meaningful upgrade this time.

Hopefully people attending the AGM will get a better idea if the strong start is likely to lead to any up grades in numbers and whether we are on the cusp of a step up or if its just a steady build up.

Positive words again but difficult to interprete this in numbers. Last year they gave an indication on how trading was going in terms of financials. This year no indication. So a but frustrating but I am inclined to be a little bit more optimistic. Steady as she goes but no big breakthrough yet.

This statement did not send my pulse racing, but it is not down beat.

richjp, as a consequence of this statement are you preparing to attend the AGM Meeting? If so would you wish a significant number of us to nominate you to speak on our behalf to ask again for better communications?

The below is very certain and talks about 2017 and nothing about "could" or "possible":

"The experience gained from the acquisition has been valuable and, during 2017, the Group will look for further accretive acquisitions that bring complementary technology, build our recurring licence revenues, and enable us to grow faster. "

I suggest they already have company(ies) for acquisition in mind or even lined up.

dd, the company has not "promised" another acquisition. They stated that further acquisitions could be possible if and when appropriate.

Ok 144p, whats 1p between friends.

I hope you are right gottafly but the share price is saying dont hold your breath for this agm statement.

Is there something else going on the market is pricing in. We know the company has promised another aquisition and no doubt share issuance along with it but at what cost to the ordinary shareholders.

A high volume of trades just before the AGM, yes the share price has slipped a little but if past events are anything to go by then this high share volume is likely to be followed by an share price movement. In my view somebody thinks it is very worth while buying stock now rather than awaiting any further update associated with the AGM. So that would suggest an share price rise. Is this someone in the know or a hunch.

Neutral -Medium term, Apr 28, 2017 Analysis Explanation

GRESHAM COMPUTING has fallen back towards the floor of the rising trend channel. A continued rise may be expected and the current price level may be a good entry price. It, however, gave a negative signal from a double top formation at the break down through the support at 153. Further fall to 144 or lower is signaled. The stock has resistance at pence 160. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 100% of the days, mean 5.38 mill per day) may weaken the analysis. The stock is overall assessed as technically neutral for the medium long term.

1/3 of the year gone and we have had no meaningful news out of the company. We have had the usual press release including we have employed even more sales people. Between the 4/5 offices around the world we must have dozens of these sales people. Apart from handful of tier 1 banks, they have been winning contracts worth c.£300k/over 3-5years. I am not sure if that is paying their wages on that sort of return. Whilst I had given up of super growth from Gresham, I had hoped for a step change in the business this year but no evidence of it as yet.

If the company waits again for December to release good news then the share price will drift in the meantime. With my very amature chartists hat on if 145p goes then we may find support around 115-120p.

Nurdin. The growth in turnover from 17.2 to 20.3m includes a full year of acquisition. If you take that out its steady growth yes but not the step up we had hoped for when the new CEO took over and thats why to my way of thinking the high pe makes it too risky for me. I retain my now small holding and will be glad to be prooved wrong.

This is what SCSW said in February this year:

"For the current year to 31 December, Cantor Fitzgerald forecasts total sales to climb to £20.3m, up from £17.2m in the year just ended. Profit is set to climb from £2.8m to £4.2m if they are anywhere near the mark. Based on eps of 6.4p the shares may look expensive but further tier 1 wins are expected in the current year. The company already has direct sales offices in London, New York, Singapore and Australia and the 80%+ gross margins on software and very high “drop through” create an exciting entry point. Buy."

I am happy with that.

I wonder if a bit of reality is setting in. The last results were nothing to write home about and despite all the bullish talk I am still waiting for evidence in actual numbers to support the view that the company is stepping up a gear. The very high pe leaves no room for disapointment.
