Cal thanks for the picture and chat- great to jog the memory. I once held JRVS but was out years before the collapse. I caught a cold and luckily not pneumonia with Bradford & Bingley, who announced good profits and a 13p dividend. Within 2 weeks the share price began to drift and I cut my losses before the truth came out and they went bust.The directors still got a good pay off though!!
I'm strong on MONI and believe 40p will look cheap in 2 years. Well worth a readup on recent announcements.All the best.

High nashwan123...nice to hear from you after so long...didn't think anyone still haunted these boards since NSB sold out...in case you were wondering...I've been using the NSB threads for an exercise in posting pictures...without taking up space on those I frequent now albeit occasionally...can't get the same verve as I did here all those years ago.... as you can see from the dots of editing without great success...keep getting the box with the red X inside and no picture...I've been trying to resurrect the old NSB loco that timsnaps posted all those years and posts ago....I've been trawling through the posts for the 3 years of postings...may I say not reading but flicking through only to find one post of tim's with a box with a red cross in it....must have been auto removed after a set time I suppose....yes I am fine how's yourself...haven't seen to much of the gang from here and probably have forgotten over the past 4 or 5 years who some were now....badabing is now monkey puzzle....but I see timsnaps hasn't posted on anything since 2008 was his last post under that sudinime ???..well it sounds about right and you get my drift....hope he is well and posting under another name....when I looked back at these posts and my postings I cannot believe It's me after so long...yes I've been very quiet for a long time...I'm now in XTR, TOM, RRL, CAZA...TOM currently is in a booooommm time as you can probably see I have just over 1m at average 1.1p so well pleased to make up for my disaster in JRVS Jarvis...lost £60,000 there 20 months ago and lost all verve as you can imagine...it was sudden the banks removed all funding for the company without any indication anything was wrong....however there you are what will be will be...but am now on the up with those I've got into now....after NSB and RTD went into as I say JRVS GBG and TMW...now out of all...best wishes to you and see you around perhaps...those were the days though weren't they with NSB and RTD...

Hi Cal I waited for the big takeout in NSB that never really came. Have since moved onto BLNX, MONI and PDX. What are you into these days? I hope you are in good health too.If I recall you went off the airways a few years back.

geng...probably non of us can really grumble...BUT...it could have been much better....as you say we could all have sold out 3 years ago for the same price....but the company wasn't in as good a position as it is now....and the share price was as it is.....we all thought then this was going places.....the share price has been manipulated over the past 4 months or even longer....and we are back with an share price that reflects no growth over that period.....I wonder where Nickie is at the moment.....orchestrating things in the background no doubt....

HAPPY CHRISTMAS LADS & LASSES........AND A VERY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ONE & ALL........

I hope to have the Ol' NSB Loco up and running in the New Year for all of us to ride to a new dawning.........where there's a will there's hope.....

NSB Retail Systems agrees 160.1 mln stg takeover offer from Epicor Retail




LONDON (Thomson Financial) - NSB Retail Systems PLC said it has agreed to a
160.1 mln stg takeover offer from Epicor Software Corporation unit Epicor Retail
Solutions Inc.
NSB's shareholders will receive 38 pence cash per share, a premium of 61.7
pct to the closing price of 23.50 pence on Dec 12.
Epicor non-executive chairman Angus Monro said NSB's product-set and
customer-base should greatly strengthen Epicor's existing position in retail
software, and enable it to be leveraged internationally.

Epicor non-executive chairman Angus Monro....?????????

I started a post with this in mind thinking the RNS was correct....thinking he held offices in both companies....however then found different....do they ever get these things right.......

Looking quiet today.......lul before the storm perhaps.....or wishful thinking.........well It's all up for grabs aint it.....come on BT show your hand.......It's peanuts to you...50p a share will only cost you 200M plus and it will be all yours and no royalties to pay AND an entry into the US and Canadian markets....what more do you want....going...going...gone to that man on the phone.....

If anyone is interested or wasn't here, below is the old BT deal. Notice the date 19 Dec. End of financial year obviously a good time.

This deal took 12 months of talking before it was signed and hit the market without one leak or whisper!

Food for thought?

"The difficulty with bid speculation however is anyone contemplating an offer likely having to pitch it much higher than current market value...."


NSB: A good risk for the patient

Edmond Jackson

01.11.07


Among 'special situation' themes that may offer investment value, a current one is UK-listed smaller companies with most if not all their business in the US. This is a tricky area of the stockmarket because you are engaging shares that are well out of fashion and may stay so for a good while; but it is an interesting one for small cap investors who like to examine where market pricing is out of line with intrinsic value.

If you look at charts for both Superscape (SPS) - the mobile games publisher - and NSB Retail Systems (NSB), the retail software group, both shares have plunged. Superscape has a genuine reason in reporting lower than expected sales, and dollar weakness (which undermines the value of profits/assets for UK investors) has affected many UK-listed firms operating in the US. The downward trend for small cap shares is exacerbated as investors cut losses in the order-driven SETS market, brokers drop coverage due to lack of buying interest, and this kind of share ends up cold shouldered. Realistically, a re-rating then needs a progression of strong trading results to offset the weak dollar, or a bid.


Growing software sector

NSB merits following because the US retail software sector continues to grow and worthwhile cost/revenue initiatives are being taken by the group's new chief executive. One US independent analyst has projected annual growth of about 10% over the next five years, in specialist software for stores and merchandising. Retailing is a dynamic business and in the US especially, logistics keep changing and improving, hence opportunities for IT providers. NSB is also making better progress internationally, with this as a priority.

Although a new CEO usually provides a prop for confidence, since David Henning's appointment was confirmed last March and he took control in June, NSB shares fell over 25% to 22p. Amid the fall, a non-executive director bought 50,000 shares at 27.75p in May, possibly a reflecting belief in NSB's overall intrinsic value, however currency factors sharpened against the business. NSB's Canadian operating base for US sales has meant rising costs versus lower revenues, with the Canadian dollar strengthening versus the US. The fall still looks severe. De-ratings are justified when there is the likelihood of a new boss declaring various exceptional charges in a restructuring, yet NSB has no such risk. Its 11 September interims (to end-June) showed a financially robust business in decent health.

Despite modest, 8% revenue growth to $46 million in the first half-year, licence orders rose by 74%, adjusted operating profit by 23% to $10.5 million, pre-tax profit by 49% to $10.6 million and normalised basic earnings-per-share by 11% to 2.45 cents. For UK investors, currency depreciation removes some of the shine, dulling revenue/EPS growth in single percentage figures, but there is still a respectable business here. NSB has paid a $0.55 cent interim dividend and cash balances rose $1.3 million to $34.6 million. Costs are under tight control and there is no debt.

I think it should be possible to target at least £10 million profit for 2007 even after adjusting for adverse exchange rates, and the equivalent of 2.5p to 3.0p earnings-per-share.


Risks

Two major risks are involved. If the slump in the US housing market seriously affects consumer spending and retailers have to batten down hatches, this could involve deferring capital spending such as IT. Secondly, there is the off-chance of a capitulation in the dollar if international investors (especially the Chinese) stop supporting the US Treasury bond market hence the country's overall finances. But in such a financial disaster scenario, plenty more shares would plunge.

These factors still do not account for why NSB shares trade on a price-earnings ratio likely in single figures, for its earnings progress during 2007, relative to ratings in the teens for comparative US shares such as JDA Software. Admittedly, JDA has achieved 13% revenue growth in its third quarter, relative to 8% for NSB's first half, but timing issues affected NSB (for example a higher proportion of solution business, which is accounted for on a percentage of completion business) and remember NSB's 74% recent rate of growth in software licence intake.

International expansion is a prime development focus, with 'significant' business being won in continental Europe and a large client won last year in Australia and New Zealand. Two further significant contracts recently suggest progress is being achieved and a specific executive appointment has been made to drive this. Hence double-digit revenue growth ought to be realistic in the long run.


Over-sold

At the time of writing, NSB shares have risen by 2p to 24p, which may indicate the market is starting to appreciate an over-sold share. NSB's capitalisation has only recently slipped below £100 million and the shares' normal market size is 50,000, hence decent liquidity. Yet among 3%+ shareholders, there appears only to be Aberforth Partners left. Selling down by UK institutional holders deciding not to retain a relatively small stake in a North American business may also help to explain a sluggish market in recent months if not years.

At 24p per share, NSB is capitalised at £91 million with annual turnover about half that, so the price-sales ratio is potentially attractive to acquirers. The difficulty with bid speculation however is anyone contemplating an offer likely having to pitch it much higher than current market value, so realistically it is not as if the low share price makes NSB especially vulnerable.

Overall, despite the nagging risks of currency factors and the US economy, NSB has an attractive risk/reward profile in a 20p share price range. Holders are likely to need ongoing patience but stand a fair chance of upside.

From their website. Even more reason for someone to buy them.

IHL Consulting recently reviewed 250 of the leading softgoods retailers to evaluate their choices for POS software. What did they find? More of these retailers have chosen NSB's software than any other. It's installed in more of their POS systems and responsible for more revenue than other. And NSB has been in this top position year after year.


To understand why, consider the facts about Connected Retailer Store:

Store offers you a clear migration path. Dozens of retailers who previously used an NSB or other legacy POS system have already moved forward to a current release of Connected Retailer Store, which will keep them moving forward for years to come. We can do the same for you.


Equally important, consider the facts about NSB:

CRM Supplier NSB Group Ranks First in POS Software

By David Sims, TMCnet Contributing Editor

For the second consecutive time, CRM vendor NSB Group has been ranked as the number one supplier of POS software to the top specialty softgoods retailers, according to the IHL Consulting Group in their recent report, "A Retailer's Guide: POS Software for Softgoods Retailers."

The research report evaluated vendors of POS software installed among the top 250 North American retailers in the specialty softgoods space, and ranked the top 5 according to such criteria as "total number of vendor accounts among the leading 250 softgoods retailers" and "estimated number of POS systems running the vendor's software based on store count and lanes per store data."

Greg Buzek, President of IHL, noted NSB's "customer base, years of retail experience, multiple implementation models, and close Microsoft (News - Alert) partnership."

David Henning, CEO for the NSB Group, said his company has been working with retailers in this space for 35 years.

The Connected Retailer Store Solution is a store automation system with multichannel retailing capabilities, touting "improved employee productivity, and increased levels of customer service." The product is billed as a tool to help retailer "respond rapidly to changing business needs without jeopardizing the upgrade path to future releases, ensuring a long-term favorable cost of ownership."

Last fall lingerie and apparel retailer La Senza went live with Connected Retailer Merchandising 3.0 and Replenishment, integrated with La Senza's other NSB products, including Sales Audit, Warehouse Management and Sourcing and Product Development.

The initiative began with the implementation of Connected Retailer products at the La Senza Girl chain and was completed with the rollout at its parent company. The project was fully customized to meet La Senza's specific business measurements, lifting certain processes.

La Senza noticed a return on their investment the same week they went live, company officials say, explaining that the ROI came from "better integration with the sourcing application, streamlined processes, and reduced overhead and data manipulation when allocating goods."

NSB has something for the fashion industry, in 2005 they announced the successful implementation of NSB's Connected Retailer Store 6.0 and Merchandising 3.0 at Donna Karan, a fashion design houses and a longtime NSB client.

Donna Karan originally chose to "evolve their business" with Connected Retailer products because they wanted "an enterprise system that could give them one consolidated view of all of their full-price and outlet stores," according to NSB officials.

"We have worked with NSB for many years and felt that their specialty apparel retail expertise and thorough understanding of our business made them the perfect choice for a retail technology partner with whom to grow," says Doreen Vandewater, Donna Karan's Vice President of Retail Systems.
