Just out of interest, what formula do you use? I used XIRR, maybe that's not the best for this use?

Would NDW really pay up to £75m for a company whose sales continue to decline every year since their IPO some 5 years ago and where losses continue to increase? Smart Technologies, their main competitor in the US, has performed even worse than PRW during this period so where is the USP for the two major companies in this market?

Forget school funding cuts, its a smokescreen. Take it from me - far too many lower cost alternatives on the market. The boat has sailed...

Fifth consecutive year of sales decline. Total sales in Y/E 2014 almost half of annual sales in 2010 when they first listed on AIM. Shareprice down by 89% during that period. Future continues to look grim !

[she-ra] 17/12/2014 14:15

Does anyone know if Promethean have any contracts with any Russian education departments at the moment?
