Is there anybody out there?
===============================================
Yes!

I've recently bought back into RNOW (also bought a bit of YouGov) as long term investments.

IMO they both have good growth prospects through the recession.

The good news just keeps on coming. It seems they are putting all the pieces in place to create a leading global online market research company!

If the share price doesn't rise then I am sure some media players or private equity players will become interested in picking up a bargain



LAUNCH OF ASIAN OPERATIONS

Chinese JV and New Asian Panels


The Board of Research Now plc ("Research Now" or the "Group"), a leading global online
fieldwork provider to the market research
industry, is pleased to announce the launch of its Asian operations.

The Group will initially be represented by two new operations in the region. The first in
Shanghai, through a 75% owned joint venture in
China in which local investors hold the balance, and the second in Singapore through a
wholly-owned subsidiary. In addition to the new
operations, the Group has also launched eight new proprietary online panels in the region to
support the growing international demand for
Asian opinion. The new Research Now owned online panels are in China, Japan, Singapore,
Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and India.
The Asia-Pacific team at Research Now will be headed up by Jason Buchanan, Managing Director,
Asia-Pacific.

Commenting on the launch, Jason Buchanan said:

"We are extremely excited to be rolling out our proven panel model in Asia. Expansion into
this region follows demand from our existing
client base worldwide for proprietary access to consumer opinions in one of the fastest
growing economic areas in the world. Establishing
offices on the ground in Asia will enable us to extend the highest quality level of service to
new and existing clients local to the
region."

Chris Havemann, CEO of Research Now added:

"Since our IPO in 2005, Research Now has successfully established itself as the market
leader in Europe and one of the fastest-growing
online panel companies in North America. Expansion into Asia will give us true proprietary
panel coverage across each of the major regions
of the world, a presence in Singapore and entry into China, fast becoming one of the world's
largest research markets".

Well, as predicted by commentators on this board RNOW has brought news of a significant B to B initiative with the signing of the agreement with Reed. This is potentially company transforming as new sources of revenue are opened.

Someone picked-up approx £700k worth of shares yesterday so despite all the doom and gloom with the banks and commodities this is one little growth stock that at least one large investor believes shows promise.

Agreement with Reed Business Information to create specialist "b2b" panels

Research Now plc (AIM:RNOW), a leading international online fieldwork provider to the
market research industry, is pleased to announce
the signing of an agreement to create specialist business-to-business ("b2b") panels with Reed
Business Information UK ("RBI"), part of
Europe's largest online and offline b2b publisher. RBI brings over 100 market leading brands
to an audience of 30 million decision makers
worldwide through its multi-platform media of web products, magazines, exhibitions,
conferences and industry awards.

Research Now and RBI will build, operate and sell access to co-branded online panels
constructed from specialist business professionals,
drawn from the website users and magazine readers of RBI's publications. The first specialist
panel of b2b industry decision makers will be
"IT Decision Makers".

Commenting on the agreement, Chris Havemann, Chief Executive of Research Now, said:

"This agreement with RBI marks a significant new step in Research Now's development as one
of the world's leading online panel
specialists. Previously, all our market research panels have been consumer-based. Now, for the
first time, thanks to the unparalleled access
to industry decision makers afforded by RBI, we have the means to start providing our clients
with highly targeted, specialist b2b opinion
in key business sectors."

Head of Research at Reed Business Information, Diane Lewis, commented:

"This is an exciting initiative for RBI. Our partnership with Research Now provides us
with access to a wealth of panel management
experience to construct b2b panels that create a unique audience community and enhance the
brand experience for our website users and
magazine readers."

Hopefully good news as I have built my stake to a touch under 18,000 shares.

Opportunity, I see that they have had a mention of their business to business panels for some time on their website:





However, I also see that Phil Rance is responsible for business to business and he joined RNOW relatively recently in February 2008. I expect the six months he has been in the company will have brought him well up to speed and hopefully thecompany as you say will be able to report on whatever great new projects and other initiatives that he and his team have championed.

We're in a bear market and we are seeing people selling into any rally. There is also a lack of buyers in the market. Moreover, many PIs who may have been in this share sold out last year after the profits warning following the unfortunate incident in Feb 2007.

IC did a write-up this week (see page 65 of the magazine ) where they gave the company a "good value" rating and commented that it trades at "a significant discount to sector peers".

Other points made in the IC article:

- last year's unfortunate events overcome
- costly investments in building online panels paying off, leading to reduced use of third-party panelists and boosting operating margins to 14.3%
- 88% of revenue generated from repeat business
- 220 new clients added in the H1 period
- "sweet spot" is multi-country work for global corporations such as Nokia account to MD
- RNOW is 5th largest player in US market
- US market is rapidly consolidating
- RNOW prefers organic growth
- RNOW concentrating in this coming year on growing business in Asia and America
- House broker expects full-year EPS of 21.6, rising to 30.5p in 2009

Great results, but what has happened to the share price?
Posted at 28/5/2008 22:57 by thelionsshare
Nessie when you exercise your stock option, you "trade in" your options for the actual stock.Share options are an incentive scheme which rewards loyalty and give employees a vested interest in the compamy faring well, beyond even their weekly paycheck. Of course if a company is doing poorly then those with the 'options' can let them lapse. The downside is that they are dilutative for other holders escpecially in penny shares. The impact would depend on the dilution but it oculd also be seen as a positive signal if the option price is not too removed from the current share price
