The reduction in overheads of 20% going forward is encouraging. This should save getting on for £300K in a full year.

Disappointing. Still life there though.

Loss in the first half - second half should be profitable though with new orders still coming in.

Need more capital; bid a possibility.

I don't understand these tiny trades, some are worth pennies?

The Times financial pages yesterday named IGE as "A tiddler to watch"

The spread you quote is not typical, it has normally been around 20-25% but I would expect it to be less going forward.

I have been in since 2007 with, I hate to admit, a first buy at 16p! At one point this was one of my (several) -90%ers that I had all but written off.

Done a bit better since then with three bottom fishing buys so almost at break-even now with ten times as many shares.

I believe they will increase turnover further which could generate a significant rerating. Looking for a 3x exit but may of course end with nothing.

£1 millions worth of orders in two months is good going, bodes well for the rest of the year!

I have been in from the beginning, and am hopeful that the technolgy might at last be coming good, but the share price has a long long long weay to go>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Able to buy on-line at 3.18p - but shows as a sell!

bozzy - i do not believe there are any "iffy" posters on this board. probably because the stock is very lightly traded at the moment although i believe that could change with a few more informed investors looking to take a position. Even the board, at the AGM voiced the opinion the price was "inexpensive" at the moment. There are several on here including me who have held for considerably more than three years. I have quite a significant holding and although a very slow burner the company's transformation from r&d into sales is at last potentially rewarding. In my opinion.

My guess is that longer term, a sale is the likely outcome although good organic growth into substance is also on the cards.
We need to see another year of profit without such a large charge to r&d and development to be completely comfortable but today's news is very helpful.

Looking good for 5p here.

Patience.

Bossy :- possible that someone was rolling over a T20?

[bozzy_s] 03/6/2013 12:32

First bit of research shows lots of retained losses on balance sheet = no tax to pay for a few years :-)

[bozzy_s] 03/6/2013 12:25

7801 trade, real bright that was!! Looks like maybe the early 20k and 25k buys were also sold at a loss within hours. What sort of idiot tries to day-trade a stock which has a 20% spread? !!!

Looking to do some research myself as this ticks my criteria of profitable, growing, small cap shares.

Any long term investors here (3+ years)? What should I be looking for, and who are the respected posters on this BB?

[peterblok] 03/6/2013 09:07

Totally agree Assagai.

Welcome aboard curtly - pity you couldn't afford to buy the odd 31 shares to round it up ;)

[curlly] 03/6/2013 08:50

Joined you lot here today that 29969 was mine. Looks a very interesting co.

[assagai] 03/6/2013 08:46

Whilst this is very encouraging, at this market cap the company is vulnerable to a takeover from a larger player and again whilst this is not a bad outcome , some of us are sitting on averages way above the current share price So 10p would be nice and still cheap to a major seeking a company with unique security products, that are now selling!

[dan de lion] 03/6/2013 08:31

Top of the "Gainers" list!

[drw1] 03/6/2013 07:23

Very encouraging-bodes well for continued profitability.

[jmf69] 03/6/2013 07:17

Contract win

[philjeans] 10/5/2013 09:13

Louise George very cautious in the interview, stressing that two big contracts still very necessary this year, to continue to be profitable.

The PR machine is cranking up more interest, which is good, but clearly we're not out of the woods just yet.

Classic risk/reward play; still very cheap if they can keep getting new orders.

Happy to hold - still think they'll be bought out eventually.
