Well, it is traditional with these sorts of stocks to get the options sorted out shortly before announcing some major good news - so watch this space.

Incredibly, ex-employees are to be granted options!!!!

[here and there] 15/2/2012 07:55

LOL.......we can't meet present targets so we will shift the targets ...down!

[someuwin] 15/2/2012 07:14

Options rebased at 1p. Almost 150% above current share price. Very positive.

When the Executive Chairman,Matt Cooper,elected to trouser almost 5% of the enlarged equity,my view was that it would be worth paying a premium to accumulate a personal stake in IMTK.
Reading their website it looks as there is the potential to expand the value of existing contracts.Add to this the additional income from newly gained clients and we have the distinct possibility for future revenues to surprise on the upside.
A RNS indicating that Octopus has significantly increased its holding would serve to further underline my confidence.

They also have this newly launched product which will hopefully be generating higher sales this year...

'Imaginatik plc (AIM: IMTK), a leading provider of enterprise Innovation management software and consultancy, announces the release of Results Engine, the industry's most comprehensive innovation portfolio reporting and management capability. Fully integrated into Imaginatik's award winning Innovation Central platform, this cloud-based tool enables the management and tracking of multiple innovation projects across an enterprise while providing a system for the calculation of return on investment.

Results Engine enables ideas initially generated within Innovation Central to become fully-fledged innovation projects, providing transparency into the innovation process by keeping track of all actions performed on those ideas, and increasing accountability by providing a measurable system for idea implementation. With Results Engine, a company's leadership can therefore chart its innovation portfolio across the enterprise and tie metrics on business value back to innovation projects and the ideas that created them, thereby calculating their return on investment. In addition, specific teams or individuals benefit from rewards and recognition.

Presently in beta trials with several current clients, Results Engine will be available on Tuesday 1 November 2011.

Matt Cooper, Executive Chairman of Imaginatik, commented, "We believe the lack of transparency within organisations regarding the results of innovation projects has previously been a barrier to sustained funding and the achievement of results. With the launch of Results Engine we have effectively removed that barrier. Aimed not at innovation experts but at sponsors and champions of innovation initiatives, Results Engine provides clear insight into the progress of innovation projects across an organisation and the return on investment made into those projects. This innovative product launch is further evidence of the revitalisation of Imaginatik in recent months and underlines our commitment to leading the innovation management market."'

I'm sure most who wanted out, got out some time ago - I know I did.

However, I'm now buying back in with a few purchases. Seems to me that now all the litigation is out of the way, new contracts are being signed/renewed and the appointment of some new blood means that we should see a strong recovery from this very oversold position.

[mudbath] 14/2/2012 11:51

I have tried to help the share price by buying at up to 42pence.Yet again the MMs have moved the price beyond my limit,so there does not appear to be anyone out there looking for a reasonable exit price.
My view is that revenues will tick up appreciably.Hopefully an improving trading position allied to a re rating of the shares will be followed by a stock consolidation(perhaps 1 new for every 100 held)and also by a move from OTC US trading to a more senior market and even a changed domicile.

Number 14 on the top risers chart.

[someuwin] 14/2/2012 10:42

Buys picking up now.

Take a look at the website - there seems to be a new sense of confidence here.

[someuwin] 14/2/2012 10:27

IMTK sponsoring the 2012 Innovation Leaders Forum in Boston March 8, 2012.

[someuwin] 14/2/2012 10:04

Could be a great recovery play here.

[supernumerary] 14/2/2012 02:00

mudbath - sorry, I obviously misremembered the post.

The imtk website remains the same flaccid verbiage it always was - why use one short word when there's a trisyllabic alternative available, lol.

You say they need 25% growth to achieve profitability; I think that good companies might hope for that over say 2 years, and this is a mediocre company heading into a recession, which means another fund raising is on the cards.

I won't say it can't be done, but I think if I was punting it would be on a more modest scale than either you or MC have ventured.

As ever, time will tell. Good luck to all involved, I admire bravery and continue to watch with interest.

[mudbath] 13/2/2012 22:38

supernumerary,
My post is unedited.
Innovation has nebulous aspects,which the IMTK website reflects.
The Board appears a fairly strong cross section of capable individuals.
Matt Cooper must be confident about Imaginatik's prospects to have subscribed quite so heavily.Certainly this mirrors the tone of the latest interim statement.
Discretionary the spend might be,yet innovation appears to be more topical than ever.Because of its nature there are probably benefits in having it professionally managed,particularly by a company with clear credentials.
Strong revenue growth over the coming 6 to 24 months and beyond could render IMTK a rewarding investment.
Yes,an adventure which you maybe introduced via a short preface,but where the responsibility,enjoyment and profit(or loss) will be mine to savour.
Cheers,Mud.

[supernumerary] 13/2/2012 20:49

mudbath - did you edit your post? I thought it said 'tip'? As you will be aware I would not wish to accept any responsibility for your adventure here ;¬)

Anyway, I like the business model, I like the product, I like the repeat orders, I like the management commitment (MC could have got away with half what he spent), but I just don't know if they're up to it.

The quote above symbolises it in a way. When you try to précis it, what does it actually say? 'We'll grow our existing business. Our clients succeed when they are creative and work together. Elisa O'Donnell will build our consultancy business'. Fair enough, but did it need all that useless, distracting verbiage? The website is (at least was the last time I looked at it) full of the same ineffectual jargon.

So I find myself wondering if the management is clear and focused enough to succeed in a very difficult market for what is in the end discretionary spending?

[someuwin] 13/2/2012 16:03

All sounds very positive.

Townsend/Frey blog,Feb 2012

"Imaginatik is now moving aggressively to re-assert itself as a thought leader in innovation management solutions.

We'll continue to build out our client consulting and support area. We realize that so much of a client's innovation success is determined by the ability to spread a creative, collaborative culture that ultimately contributes to business results. Elisa O'Donnell, our new VP Consulting, is focused on fortifying our "people" oriented innovation services.

We're also exploring the development of some next-generation tools that will support real-time collaboration. That's the nature of innovation today - it's very social, networked and real time. We're committed to developing software tools that will enable these processes to be very efficient.

Nick Goss, our new CTO, will be leading the development of next-gen innovation products and platforms.

Expect to hear much more from us in the near future on both fronts."

Too late with the caution asparks asI am semi sucked in already.

[asparks] 13/2/2012 13:56

[solarno lopez] 13/2/2012 11:32

Oh dear that didn't last long now did it

[someuwin] 13/2/2012 11:32

Looks like its sparking back into life.

[mudbath] 13/2/2012 11:27

Spent the weekend looking at these,on a prompt from supernumerary.
IMTK look a really exciting company.Looks as though another 25% on revenues would swing them into profit,whilst the cash position should now be stable,at worst.
Managed to buy 3 million shares before the market went against me.
Interesting.

[solarno lopez] 13/2/2012 11:25

bloody hell where did that come from

[diamond1] 13/2/2012 11:21

Maybe they've just got it!
