Unfortunately I got a little impatient and had sold half. Like GHF, I figured they'd get bought out but whenever I hold a share purely on that basis, it invariably never happens! Oh well, still a nice profit. Well don STF management.

Well done chaps. On a trading/P/E basis STF was always a bit too expensive for me. I was obviously too cautious! Nice one.

Cheers SANTANGELLO I bought more last week. Don`t understand why new contract win effect the results when STF had expected to announce last week in March.

e-mailed STF today, asked them why results were late still waiting an answer.

Usually STF post early on the RNS don`t feel it will be today. They said results would be last week in March makes me feel that something as changed to delay the announcement + Dartington holdings notified voting rights for approx 3.5m shares on 30/3/11 I feel they know something is happening at STF i.e "takeover" ??? IMHO.

I continue to add here per posts 205 & 207 which highlight the pricing discount of STF in comparison to their peers takeout prices.

Worthwhile also to look at the current valuation attributed to Alterian (ALN)

Arbuthnot estimate 20p based on 1.2 EV/sales valuation and I note that Finn Cap have 21p target based on a 1.3 EV/sales valuation....It looks like Alterian (ALN) are currently sitting on a EV/sales above 2 compared to STF's current EV/sales ratio of approx. 0.85

I'm certainly looking forward to their trading statement.

Regards,
GHF

Hi WJ - Agree that STF and RGO should be beneficiaries.

STF adopted a SaaS model in 2008 and I think we are beginning to see the benefits emerge. High recurring revenues and over 90% client retention speaks volumes.

Arbuthnot issued a strong buy recommendation and 18p target some time ago, having upgraded their profit forecasts for STF on 4 occasions during 2009 and also a couple during 2010. Net cash is also forecast to be around £3.5m as at end of Dec 2010.

I've watched for a number of years and only recently bought in. They remind me slightly of IGP in the sense that for a number of years they have developed their product offering and are now beginning to reap the rewards through market leading solutions. IGP remain one of my largest holdings and as I stated earlier, my only concern with STF is the departure of Chris Underhill back in October although doing so by releasing an "ahead" T/S a full 2 months prior to year end suggests that the company is performing well and certainly assuaged many doubts.

I don't think STF will remain independent for too long and get the impression that Arbuthnot feel the same having watched IBM take out Unica in the US and UK listed Portrait Software fall to Pitney Bowes....

Regards,
GHF


edit - 20p target price by Arbuthnot rather than the 18p I stated.
