A bit slow to get down to reading the FY results today - as usual, pretty long and detailed.

But the key thing is operating profits (stripping out the IFRS losses on the venture portfolio) which are £1.9m; so a MCap of £3.55m gives a fully-taxed PE of just 2.7x.
Operating cash inflow of £2.6m!

NAV of 71.9p.

Of course, Sphere and Atraverda will surely (!) do the biz once market conditions allow IPO/sales to take place.

Article in yesterday's FT about a variety of small companies and how they are faring in the current climate.

The most optimistic was Brandon Medical (Leeds-based, I didn't know that).
Do we have a stake in their new medical theatre lighting? I don't remember.

FT site is undergoing maintenance so I can't access it online.

Many thanks for that, Hastings!

SAG (silly but apt ...) have announced quite a few good achievements recently (not via RNS, though) which, I hope, will help bolster their bottom line.

Atraverda news, new CEO:



RNS says 'Chord Capital' is an investor. But SAG sold Chord Capital, and SAG still holds 8% of Atraverda.

El G ... agreed, and the asset position understates the value of the building: if most of the £0.91m is 6 months' rent, a valuation of £14m gives a yield of 13% pa - I'd say 7-8% would be more appropriate, ie a value of £22m.

I see revenues from the TT Electronics sensors get put back again!

The incorrect data given by ADVFN isn't all that uncommon, but there is another company which has retained the ticker SAG: Sagerama which is suspended or recently delisted, I think.

Jon - Just to prove you're not the only one still here...

Not exactly jubilation, but nice to see any move up, late in the day. I agree that the results read well, and as you say these should be the last to be dragged down by CMR and Turftrax (one day I hope to see uplift on the former, but I'm not holding my breath).

Hopefully no-one's being put off by the incorrect market cap shown by ADVFN. In case anyone's looking in on the back of the results announcement, there are 20.2m shares in issue. If SGA continues to make a £0.6m operating profit per half year, and the exceptionals disappear, a forward P/E of (say) 10 would equate to a share price of 60p.

Very upbeat H1 results. Overall loss down to asset falls (CMF, TTX) which haven't much further to fall. Perhaps an bottom-line profit for the FY?

The market will react with jubilation ... maybe.
