"The Company is pleased to confirm that a through a combination of improved
profitability across a number of projects, better than projected utilisation of
engineer and support resource and continued careful cost management, the second half of the year is showing profitability in excess of that previously
anticipated."

The sales mix is moving towards recurring maintenance revenues away from one-off equipment sales – thus raising the quality of earning as well. Previous forecasts of £2.4m are set to rise towards £2.6m with EPS rising from 16.9 to 18.3p, putting the group on an 8.3x prospective PER. With the improved outlook we see a move towards the 10x rating or a price target of 183p, thus moved from a Hold to a BUY.

Finncap does not like telecoms which have hit growth hurdles, struggled with management upheavals, or been too slow in showing shareholders returns on their investments.

Companies which are able to combine dependable cash flow with a focus on shareholder returns -- Alternative Networks (ALTAN.L), Maintel (MAIH.L), and Spiritel (SPIP.L) are the standouts -- garner "buy" ratings from the broker.

I think we could eventually see over 150p.

"The second half of the year has shown significant improvement on the first half
following the major new support contracts noted in the statement and the cost cutting exercises made in May 2008. However, the extraordinary market conditions have reduced expected income from additional equipment sales and whilst maintenance and other contracted revenue remain healthy, this will inevitably have an effect on profitability. We are therefore estimating that, subject to audit, profit before amortisation and exceptionals for the year to 31 December 2008 will be approximately £2.0m."

I reiterate my previously posted opinion that there better places to invest your cash until there are signs of growth returning to the economy. (See TR25).

First half EPS down to 3.5p compared to 4.3p in 2007.

Some new contracts have been secured which should improve the results for the second half year but this is still a bet on the length of the recession - there are better places to invest your cash until there are signs of growth returning to the economy.

MAI's interims have gone down a lot better (share price up 2p to 108.5p) than ATCG's earlier this week, which lead to a further price fall -

09/09/08 10:37 TFNF STOCKS NEWS EUROPE-AT Communications falls after H1

The big causal difference seems to be their respective cash/debt positions.

Maintel Holdings PLC
12 September 2008

Interim results for the six months to 30 June 2008

Maintel Holdings Plc, the telecoms services company, announces interim unaudited results for the six months to 30 June 2008.

Financial Highlights

Group revenues increased by 10% to £9.8m (H1 2007 - £8.9m)

Maintenance base increased to £9m at 30 June 2008

Sales of broadband, call traffic and related products up 41% to £2.85m (H1 2007 - £2.02m)

Cash of £1.9m at 30 June 2008 (31 December 2007 - £2.1m) after paying a dividend of £364,000, share buy backs costing £391,000 and £296,000 taxation

Adjusted profit before tax of £811,000 (H1 2007 - £905,000); adjusted profit before tax is basic profit before tax of £621,000 (H1 2007 - £780,000), adjusted for goodwill impairment and intangibles amortisation

Adjusted earnings per share of 4.7p (H1 2007 - 5.1p); adjusted earnings per share is basic and diluted earnings per share of 3.5p (H1 2007 - 4.3p), adjusted for goodwill impairment and intangibles amortisation

Interim dividend proposed of 2.5p per share (2007: 2.5p)

Operational Highlights

Restructuring of sales and engineering resource in response to prevailing economic conditions and to focus on higher margin equipment sales - clear financial benefits being seen in H2 2008

3 significant maintenance orders won totalling more than £700,000 per annum, with only part of the benefit being seen in H1 2008

Appointed approved Nortel service partner, and Maintel employee awarded Nortel UK sales person of the year

Market Conditions and Outlook

Maintel benefits from a significant level of contracted revenue from maintenance and network services which represented £7.3m (74%) of our Group income (full year 2007 - £13.4m and 69%). This income is holding up well. Discretionary spending patterns are best reflected by the income from equipment sales from our maintenance customers and these represent new systems and moves and changes often prompted by business growth. Although we have actively avoided larger work with lower margins in H1 2008 as described above, we are still picking up good quality business including the supply and installation of the telephone system for a government department, and a number of large projects for IKEA. The steady flow of smaller additional work jobs continues at the same levels as 2007. In summary, therefore, we are well placed for the second half of 2008, which has begun satisfactorily.

Depends on the economy.

Increasing equipment sales will be difficult in a recession.

Controlling staff costs may be difficult with rising inflation. Staff numbers rose 7% last year, staff costs rose 18%.

Nevertheless they are making progress, just have to watch those commission levels which bankrupted their parent.

Very difficult to assign a fair price to the shares, but a long-term buy below say 80p for an eventual long term recovery to perhaps 160p.

Looks top end on value based on an historic PE of 10 and EV of circa 9 !
.........................................................................

17/03/08: AIM-listed telecoms services company Maintel Holdings PLC reported a slightly lower full-year pretax profit, but added that it has made a solid start to 2008 and is confident for the remainder of the year.

The company said pretax profit for the year ended Dec 31 was 1.98 mln stg,
compared with 2.01 mln last year, while group revenue rose 20 pct to 19.33 mln
stg. Recurring revenue increased 16 pct to 13.4 mln stg representing 69 pct of
annual revenue, and sales of broadband, call traffic and related products went
up 38 pct to 4.7 mln stg, the company said.

Maintel said margins improved to 11.5 pct in the second half from 8.8 pct in
the first half. The company proposed a final dividend of 3 pence, taking the total dividend for the year to 5.5 pence, up 10 pct from last year.

Profit in H2 last year was affected by high administrative costs following the acquisition (on 01/08/07) of Callmaster and the transfer of most of its engineers.

Do you really think that they will achieve post tax profits of £1.75m (14.35p)after the 16% fall in H1 ? To achieve FY PAT of £1.75m they would have to produce £1.2m in H2 which would be 56% up on the same period last year !

Apart from the changes relating to 0870 numbers in January this year, there is not a great deal happening in telecoms maintenance. Obviously the recessionary outlook means growth will be limited, but Maintel is about service contracts which are necessary and therefore relatively defensive. One of Maintel's potential weaknesses is the difficulty in attracting/retaining service engineers without paying too much in bonuses - in a recessionary environment this should not be a problem.

Is it a question of no news is good news or just quiet before the storm !

Do you think there is any chance of a post year end trading update or will we have to wait until March to see how they performed in H2 ?

Very quiet on this thread. No real news since the interims in September apart from the company repurchasing around 2.5% of their shares at a cost of around £500,000.

Not a positive move in my opinion since small companies can use surplus cash more effectively by reinvesting in the business or alternatively by distributing it to shareholders as a windfall dividend (buyback cost could have funded an extra 4p dividend).

Divi up to 2.5p (2.1p) so the management are happy this is a short term profits dip.
