dunno where you get 27.5 from
resistance was around 25p mark, and next stopper is around 40p imo

[widemouthfrog] 28/1/2004 12:42

up 20%, 2 year high
good volumes, but enough to confirm 27.5 support?

[widemouthfrog] 28/1/2004 10:17

:] breakout. new range 25 - 27.5

Hi All
Excellent results, just as expected. All very positive. I notethat full year forecast are for eps of .99p this year (04) and 1.8p (05). These potentially could be beaten, the Maersk deal is very very significant and opens the door to massive markets.....glad I held from the lows of 4p...I did buy at 25p so I will break even soon !!!!! The joys of investing

Best Wishes

Keep up the good work. I too am rather a long in the tooth investor. It's all a question of when with the NHS. Not known for their management ability. How many NHS managers does it take to make a bed? 0.33333 if mem seves me correctly.

Hi all fellow investors (yeah about 3 of you)
I see MNS have today announced a very important alliance with Maersk Data to provide MAPS suite of software to shippers across the globe !! For more info goto the company website. I just hope this agreement is more fruitful than the alliance with ATOS which to my knowledge has resulted in "squat did".....buggar all !!!
Best Wishes

Hi WMF
I am a long term holder and continue to be satisfied by the progress of the company. They were profitable in the 2nd half of last year and would expect breakeven or a small profit for the 1st half this and then hopefully £1 million for the full year which equats to roughly 2.2p for the full year. Next year i would hope for at least £1.5m-£2m and earnings from 3.3p to 4.4p and a p/e of 15 for a potential share price of 50-60p. Obviously these are my thoughts but what is an absolute fact is that MNS have excellent software which could be used across many sectors.
Good luck

hello rob. buying back in, results due feb. missed getting back into klw & lnb so trying not to make the same mistake here! what's your target for mns or are you in for a stretch?

"..With contracted revenues at the year-end amounting to #3.1m (2002: #1.5m) and
the current opportunities available to the Company in its chosen markets, the
directors believe there is a solid platform for the Company to achieve a further
improvement in its annual results in 2004."
- Robert Drummond, Chairman, 15 September 2003

on release of the above results price leapt 20% from 19.5 (fri) to 23.75 (mon)

since then, 3 new contracts announced
- british army (0.6m over 5 years)
- uk defence medical services (1.2m over 4.5 years)
- nhs plymouth (570k over 3 years)

"The Company is actively marketing the MAPS Taskforce solution to the other 606 NHS Trusts in operation in the UK" (3.12.2003)

oversold. strong support at 22 and resistance at 24. been consolitating in this range since sept. macd turning positive. no volume but i'm hoping interest generated by results will push this through resistance and into next range.

Hi All
I feel like I'm the only poster here at the moment, still my thoughts seem to come to fruition. Have just checked out the MNS website and they have issued a
Press Release re their work with Cunard on the Queen Mary 2. All good for future contracts.If I knew how to post the link I would do so !!!

Hi All
As usual the price is drifting a little before their interim results. I expect a considerable improvement on last year's first half and hopefully some more contract wins. I hope Manpower promote the fact that the QM2 which is gaining massive publicity at the moment has their software installed...must be impressive gear. I have promised myself to attend a conference where MNS display their software, anybody else like to come along ?

Hi Dodger
For sure, bloody glad its come back from 4p..........100,000 shares at 20p loss per share is a very big loss !!!!! Market cap only £10 million, plenty of room for growth when more NHS wins come through.
Best Wishes

chart looking good for a breakout of 24p before christmas.

pressure building but it has come a long way since those 4p days back in April.

what's the market cap on this one now?

[robward] 09/12/2003 20:37
