digital look are using adjusted PBT (pre amortisation etc.). H1 adjusted PBT was 3.16mm so FY of 6.66mm seems reasonable given the big increase in the order intake.

Hi all. I note from today's interims PBT is £.88m. Assuming that doubles for the full year, PBT will be around £1.8m. However digital look have the PBT forecast for the full year £6.66m. That seems one hell of a leap? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

No, you're not completely on your lonesome. I bought K3 late Jan, after the report on them from Edison and with a 144p entry price I'm a happy holder....onwards and upwards from here, and all that.

More Buying from HARGREAVE HALE LIMITED
This could get interesting :-)

[dpmcq] 14/2/2014 15:11

Now there is an upturn in the general economy I think the company is doing better, they have stated revenue growth and profits are due to return so hopefully the share price will reflect this.

[felix99] 14/2/2014 14:46

Presumably perhaps they are hoping someone will buy them out now CEO gone?

What's going on now then?
I realise it's always been very erratic.
Ceo left a fortnight ago:

LONDON (Alliance News) - K3 Business Technology Group PLC Monday said Chief Executive Andy Makeham is leaving to pursue other interests after nearly 14 years at the helm and will be replaced by Chief Financial Officer David Bolton, who has held that role for over 15 years. In a statement, the company said Head of Finance Brian David will become its new CFO.
"As reported in the recent trading update, K3 is on course to a return to revenue and profits growth, driven by the launch of a major new Microsoft Dynamics solution and I wish the Company every future success," Makeham said


Share price up strongly today - up 35% from low of 5 weeks ago.
Up 95% from the low of last March.

hhmmmm.. I know there are not many shares in issue, but do think that some stake building is going on here.

UK Retail deal slippage...We downgrade FY13 EBITDA revision of -34%.

hhmmm...another profit warning!!
Better news on the new software but times are hard so overhead costs need to be kept firmly in check.

Not to mention that any holders have just had their stock devalued by 10% never mind, at 40p they will look cheap enough

oh dear long way down with that pile of debt
Outlook

Difficult market conditions and the transitioning of our UK retail offering to Microsoft AX have contributed to fewer major new contract wins than expected, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in sales and profit in the first six months of the financial year.
