"We're looking to become a £100 million company by 2010"
(Finance Director Sue Hocken last Xmas, when enthusing about bigger takeover targets)

Down by a third since those results

Another acquisition. Looking good.

Having long promised a sizeable acquisition 'to add value for investors', staff motivation specialist MotivCom has finally delivered with a £15m deal.

The proposed target is Derby-based Zibrant, a provider of venue finding, event management and motivation services to an impressive list of clients. The cash and shares deal is being partly funded by a £3.1m placing priced at 130p.

Like its acquirer, Zibrant has been on a buy-and-build spree in recent years and lifted operating profits 14% to £1.4m on £19.3m sales last year. MotivCom director John Sylvester is convinced that there is more organic growth to come from Zibrant: 'Their forward visibility is good and, having seen their forward order book, we are confident.'

He says, 'The things that attracted us to the deal were the strong management, great products and a great client list [including Barclays, Deloitte, Volvo and Pfizer] that has very little overlap with our own and so provides lots of cross-selling and up-selling opportunities.' Zibrant's venue-finding business capitalises on the desire of large corporates to consolidate their spending on facilities for events, conferences, training and ad hoc meetings, while event management and production is also a booming business sector that complements MotivCom's offering.

At the interim, MotivCom achieved an 11% sales advance, with pre-tax profits rising 31% and dividends lifted by 43% to 0.5p. All this growth was organic, from a mix of product developments and new business wins and visibility is high with 88% of budgeted gross profits already booked.

House broker Numis was forecasting earnings of 8.6p for the full year, growing 17% in 2008. The acquisition is reported to be earnings enhancing next year, so expect some revision of these numbers.

Morning, Liars. I had to get one right eventually :-)

[liarspoker] 13/9/2007 08:33

Nice to see these doing well for you Jak. :O)

[jakleeds] 13/9/2007 08:32

Nice results, hopefully will now breakout. Anyone else still in these?

"I am pleased to report that that the interim results for Motivcom plc for the
six-month period to June 2007 are ahead of market expectations. The results
reflect a combination of organic growth and consolidation which currently
characterise the sector, together with the development of new products."

Last year's interim results were released on 27th Sept so circa three weeks to go. This share appears to have a small PI following - share turnover is low and it was interesting to see thaqt the price barely moved during the recent volatility whereas other "more popular" shares gyrated wildly as private investors ran for cover.

[wynmck] 04/9/2007 14:27

should get an RNS with Results date any day now.....

[starwood] 15/8/2007 17:45

still soaking up the sells, red all week and still 150. Smells like time for another tranche

[jakleeds] 07/8/2007 10:13

Very nice rns yesterday, I'm surprised there's been no comment so far. Everyone away on hols?

[davidwilkin] 27/7/2007 19:23

soaking up the sells - order to fill ??

[davidwilkin] 05/7/2007 21:29

its ready to go any day now,the move will be quick i can see 170 on the horizon short term, but longer term £2.00 no problem

[starwood] 05/7/2007 16:31

This spikes and drops. No trades then a flood. Rises against a tide of red then stands still in an upward surge. Yet it's up 90% since September. Any bets on 200p by Xmas?

Someone somewhere knows something.

[davidwilkin] 26/6/2007 12:55

cg - you may be right a nice 13000 buy this a.m - this soaks up fridays sells.

im in for another 1000 shares today at 1 0 clockish.

[davidwilkin] 25/6/2007 19:00

No just an undervalued stock being re-rated. Nothing more,nothing less.

[cgequityinvest] 25/6/2007 10:32

It seems strange that with very low volumes the share price continues to creep up. I assume that the market meakers have a buyer in the wings and are trying to find some sellers? Any other views?

[jakleeds] 25/6/2007 09:31

Well well, once again we are blue amongst a deluge of red.

[davidwilkin] 19/6/2007 18:31

seller cleared ?? - chart looks tremendous for an upward move now.

[jakleeds] 19/6/2007 16:53

Wow, a 50,000 trade at 148p yet the price rises.
