Posted at 11/6/2008 16:59 by tonyx 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. |

Posted at 05/2/2008 07:51 by tonyx 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. |
Posted at 21/8/2007 10:00 by horneblower 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. |
Posted at 21/8/2007 08:23 by asmodeus 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? |
Posted at 21/8/2007 08:05 by theophilus 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 TH. |
Posted at 30/3/2006 21:50 by markie7 results released late today - well ahead of expectations. All bodes well for tomorrow, take a look if you are new to OPS... |
Posted at 12/4/2005 08:54 by nissi beach 18 months and 150% gain nice to see i was rightthinking 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 |
Posted at 15/6/2004 09:34 by dusseldorf 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. |
Posted at 18/2/2004 14:30 by nissi beach dell I have edit my comments on a few others boards do you forgive me becuase you do seem a good person to debate the merits of shares "i have no removed the reference to OPS in that was in this post because i do not want to be know as a ramper. I apologise to anyone who thought it was" |
