M/Cap now £800K. Undervalued or more bad news on the way?

They said last month:

However, the Board still expect results to show an improvement on 2007 and the Company has sufficient cash resources to fulfil its business plan. In addition the Board continues to recommend the dividend of 3p per share for the full year ended December 2007 and will be voting in favour of this at the forthcoming AGM.

Has anyone seen results like this anywhere else - ever? What will it take to get these shares recognised by the market?

Yep, they also now have £5.5m of debt after the acquisition.

Lets see how the MM's play this one today-I suspect we may see this another 10-15% down.

BTW, not a holder of OPS. Sold last year.

OPS mentioned on another thread by theophilus.
I have read the RNS and all of this thread, and still have no clue as to what this company does.
Most unlikely to get involved unless some explanation and background appears, preferably in the header of this thread.
Perhaps QS9 could oblige?

I'm not really interested in the fundamentals, being a chartist, but not knowing what the company does is a no no.

BTW the chart would apear to have a target of around £17 sometime in the next 15 months imo.

It's so frustrating! OPS performs so well, but the share price just doesn't reflect this. What more does the market want? Will it never come to the notice of the Big Hitters? Perhaps we just have to wait for a takeover?

A good set of results for the interims and promise for the full year.


Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended 30 June 2007



Chairman's statement

Highlights

* Turnover of #4.7m up from #2.8m an increase of 68%.
* Gross profit of #3.5m up from #2.2m a rise of 60%.
* Pre-tax profit of #780,000 has almost doubled from #415,000.
* Fully diluted EPS of 72.8p up 61% from 45.3p
* Shareholders' funds of #4.9m includes net cash of #1.4m
* Interim dividend of 10p up 33% from 7.5p.
* Second half trading has commenced strongly
* The board is proposing to implement a 6 for 1 scrip issue.
* Report International acquired in May 2007


The excellent results for the six months to end June 2007 reflect the continuing
success of our strategy of investing heavily in the off-peak second half of 2006
to produce well-above average organic growth in 2007. This performance has been
enhanced by the acquisition of nxtMOVE and Andrew Irving Associates in 2006. As
a result, overall pre-tax profits in the first half of #780,000 are in excess of
the #727,000 for the full year of 2006. Fully diluted earnings per share (EPS)
of 72.8p in the six months to end June compares with 73.8p for the 12 months to
end December 2006. We have announced an increase in our interim dividend of 33%
from 7.5p to 10p per share and intend to ask shareholders to approve a scrip
issue of 6 for 1 in order to improve liquidity of their shares.

KAE, nxtMOVE and AIA all produced record sales and profits in the first half.
KAE was able to take full advantage of buoyant trading conditions by increasing
professional staff numbers and focusing senior management's time on new business
development. KAE's pipeline for the second half is strong and we will continue
to expand the headcount in anticipation of further strong progress in 2007.
NxtMOVE has maintained the momentum achieved in the second half of 2006 and,
having improved the operational efficiency of the company, we are now focusing
on top-line revenue growth. New senior management have been recruited recently
and nxtMOVE is now well placed to benefit further from the joint selling
opportunities provided from within the group. AIA has outperformed our
demanding targets and has been the major beneficiary of work sourced from KAE,
with a consequent dramatic impact on sales and margins. As with nxtMOVE, we are
now strengthening the senior management team to maintain this momentum.

In May 2007, we acquired Report International Limited for an initial payment of
#48,000 and a maximum deferred consideration of #2.2m depending on profits
achieved in 2007, 2008 and 2009. We are confident that RIL will be
earnings-enhancing in the second half and that the deferred consideration
payable in 2010 will be in the order of #557,000

We have produced this interim statement using the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and have provided comparative information under IFRS
for 2006. We have restated the year-end 2006 income statement the impact
amounts to a reduction of pre-tax profits of #41,000 and fully diluted EPS from
80.7p to 73.8p. It is anticipated that the transition to IFRS will have a
similar impact on the full year 2007 and this has been reflected in the results
shown in these interim statements. Our balance sheet remains extremely strong
with net cash of #1.4m, despite a temporary rise in working capital reflecting
the peak sales months of May and June. Our historically strong cash generation
in the second half reflects the seasonality of the business and net cash
balances are expected to grow strongly through the second half.

We continue to seek acquisitions, which will meet our strict investment
criteria, which include the requirement that any acquisition is earnings
enhancing in the first full year.

We exceeded our expectations in the first half and this momentum has been
carried on into the second half. This gives us the ability to continue to
invest in our people and maintain the momentum into 2008.

R F Littleboy

Chairman

Cheers

results released late today - well ahead of expectations. All bodes well for tomorrow, take a look if you are new to OPS...

18 months and 150% gain nice to see i was right

thinking further about this its a stunning buy

Between OPS and KAe they is enough cash to pay the £650K

new shares in issue min 607K and we could have 302K profit.with no tax EPS of 49p

if the 500K profit comes in 667K shares giving EPS 75p

applying PE pf 10 gives at least £2 extra on top of the price today

Nissi - those figures are 'one-offs'. OPS doesn't actually generate any income apart from selling off its assets. I guess an issue to raise more cash for investments is the only way this virtual shell can generate any business.
