I hate to think :-o)

[effortless cool] 10/10/2010 21:00

What will you eat if they make my £3.15m?

[spooky] 10/10/2010 17:59

If Netcall make a clean £2.3m pre tax i will eat my hat or what ever the correct phrase is.That doesn't mean the shares won't go higher in the short term but they will not make those numbers unless they use a considerable amount of artistic licence;then again that wouldn't be a surprise to clocktower :-o)

LOL. I'm no fan of the analysts, and have no idea whether Evolution are better or worse than the norm. At least their figures for NET are plausible, however. With my forecasts being more optimistic, I think it makes sense to quote them for balance.

[clocktower] 29/9/2010 10:19

EC, I am not knocking your figures but to suggest Evolution are to be credited with any respect just would make many sick.

[effortless cool] 29/9/2010 05:49

That's a more sensible forecast from Evolution. I've added it to the header.

The daily mail say, 'a strong set of results' one to watch i think!!!

[effortless cool] 28/9/2010 07:05

LBO,

I'm bullish because I've run the numbers and see excellent value here.

The market forecasts you quote are rubbish. There are 122m shares in issue, so PBT of £1.4m, with a normalised tax charge, equates to EPS of less than 1p, not 2.2p.

It seems that "the market" (and whoever it is who is quoting the market forecasts in their buy recommendation) has not yet caught up with the fact that Netcall have bought Telephonetics!

In my opinion, the way to make a few bob in equities is to be ahead of "the market". This is easier with small cap shares which are either not analysed or, if they are covered, are usually analysed by numpties.

I can't promise that my analysis is great but I can promise, based on what you quote above, that it is better than "the market's".

Effortless why are you so bullish? If the market forecasts are even nearly met then many would be happy with that IMHO

"The market forecasts 2011 PBT and EPS estimates of £1.4m and 2.2p respectively. We see the valuation as attractive, trading on a 2011 PER of 5.7x, an unjustified discount to the sector. The strong recurring revenues encourages us to upgrade our recommendation to a BUY with a one year target price of 18.7p – equivalent to 8.5x prospective PER"

There you go clocky - header updated ahead of schedule with revised H1 and FY forecasts for 2010/11.

I look forward to your constructive comment and challenge.

[spaceparallax] 27/9/2010 16:05

Pretty solid results

[killieboy] 27/9/2010 12:59

now now children!!

[effortless cool] 27/9/2010 10:45

I'm currently updating and enhancing my model.

I'll update the header tomorrow and then, hopefully, look forward to some constructive input from you.

[clocktower] 27/9/2010 10:39

So EC - pray tell us what forecast you have for H1 - since the RTO has taken place?

[effortless cool] 27/9/2010 10:08

I think you're struggling with the "one-off" concept.

Normalised earnings per share (after adjusting for acquisition costs, amortisation of acquired intangible assets and after applying a 28% tax charge) rose from 0.85p to 0.93p.

I would welcome constructive criticism of the company's strategy and/or performance, but all you've contributed so far is driven by ignorance and prejudice, rather than analysis.

[clocktower] 27/9/2010 09:43

I think you forgot to point out - Earnings per share 0.04p (2009:1.18p) after one off impact of acquisition costs og GBPO.92m

So earnings per share have taken a hefty swipe.

Netcall (NET, 12.50p, £15.28m), the provider of customer engagement software, reports prelims to 30 June 2010 are broadly in line with market expectations. Adjusted PBT increased by 23% to £1.02m (2009: £0.83m) on a 5% increase in turnover to £4.13m (H109: £3.93m). Currently 83% (2009: 78%) of revenues are recurring, typically from hosted platforms and maintenance and support agreements. The strong recurring revenue provides the group with excellent visibility. The group is well placed to withstand any further downturn. The recent acquisitions will bolster revenues from the broader product portfolio, the cross selling opportunities and the cost synergies. The business is debt free with net cash of c.£4m to date. Netcall continues to seek organic and acquisitive growth in the fragmented market to enhance greater presence and efficiencies. The outlook statement is positive. The market forecasts 2011 PBT and EPS estimates of £1.4m and 2.2p respectively. We see the valuation as attractive, trading on a 2011 PER of 5.7x, an unjustified discount to the sector. The strong recurring revenues encourages us to upgrade our recommendation to a BUY with a one year target price of 18.7p – equivalent to 8.5x prospective PER

[effortless cool] 27/9/2010 08:34

You could be right, clocktower - after all, it's becoming clear to everyone that you're something of an expert on "huff and puff"

[lbo] 27/9/2010 08:32

Netcall FY sales rise 5% as Telephonetics integration begins



UK customer engagement software provider Netcall reported revenues rising 5 percent to GBP 4.13 million, for its full fiscal year to end-June. The adjusted operating profit lifted 23 percent to GBP 1.02 million. At the end of June, net cash funds were at GBP 2.45 million

[clocktower] 27/9/2010 08:26

The numbers are not as good as previous - directors forwarding looking statement could turn out to be huff and puff as was the case with TPH.

[shareowner] 27/9/2010 07:45

Happy with those results, now can we move forward positively and recoup recent lost ground?

[giantpeach2] 27/9/2010 07:41

Another good set of numbers, should see nice steady rise from here!!!
