Sheik Yerbouti

Thanks for the info, they are only showing the last 5 trades, any
idea how to check the rest.

[sheik yerbouti] 12/2/2009 16:42

Have you checked on Plus Markets? Volume of 86k over on there today.

[billbyrne] 12/2/2009 16:35

I bought some more about 9 this morning and my trade is still
not showing, why do the trades take so long to show for this
share.

[sheik yerbouti] 12/2/2009 13:50

I think they lost their place in the All Share Index at the end of last year which caused forced institutional sellers.
Tarsus are on a forecast pe of 2.8 for 2009 and 4.1 for 2010. Compare that with ITE which are on 5.4 for 2009 and 6.7 for 2010.
ITE is in the FTSE 250 so some premium may be justified, but it still leaves Tarsus with a rather low rating if the forecasts prove to be accurate. Results came out 3rd March last year.

Reading the last update they said they will
"Tarsus has completed its change of domicile to Ireland and the exceptional costs associated with this are expected to be approximately
£2 million."

Did having 2million knocked off their profits this year cause the drop in price or was it the move to Ireland meaning some fund manager dropped them?

Bought some more this morning. Looking for a nice steady build up to results.

[sheik yerbouti] 11/2/2009 14:16

I reckon these are overdue a bounce, results due soon. Div yield could be over 10% at these levels. Pe should be about 4, coming down to to 2.5 for 2009 if they meet forecasts of 21p.

[johnv] 11/2/2009 09:24

they were a main write up dec iss @ 72p and tipped again last month @ 72p. Gist was exhibitors happy to book in advance for shows which have been running for years.

johnv.

Any chance you can print the article here.

[johnv] 11/2/2009 00:13

scsw gave this as a buy last month at 72p with a yield of 7%

[billbyrne] 10/2/2009 20:09

Bought in this morning, for the dividend return firstly but it is my opinion that the share price has been dragged down with the market. Every trading statement has been inline with managements expectations. The full year divi last year was 5p, the interim divi this year was increased by a third, if the full year divi is increased inline with that we could have a full year divi of
over 6p. Not a bad return. We could see the share price move up in advance of year end also.

Just my take on the current situation, if it materialises it will be the first time I have got it right for what seems ages. AIMHO

thinking of buying a few at this price anyone have any veiws good idea or bad

[dennis russell] 02/12/2008 16:48

There must be a few banks who wish they had '£39M of distributable reserves'!

[billbyrne] 27/11/2008 19:33

Did the New Tarsus shares get admitted for trading yesterday, I
did not see a RNS.

This share price fall looks way over done to me. IMHO

[dennis russell] 18/11/2008 18:05

I'm surprised there is not more PI interest in TRS. Its business seems to be recession-resistant, as exhibitors would see any withdrawal as a signal to their customers that they are going bust! Generating good cash, negligible debt, pays dividends, strong growth, excellent forward visibility of sales and profits...

Strategic acquisition in fast growing Dubai market and New Joint Venture


TARSUS GROUP PLC


New Joint Venture


12 November 2007


Tarsus Group plc, the international business-to-business media group with
interests in exhibitions, conferences, publishing and on-line media, has today
announced the formation of a new joint venture in France.


On 5th September 2007 Tarsus announced the acquisition of SEPIC which is the
owner and operator of the Midec and Mod'Amont exhibitions in Paris. Mod'Amont is
the leading international exhibition for clothing accessories and is co-located
with the pre-eminent international textile exhibition Premiere Vision.


Tarsus and Premiere Vision will now form a joint venture to run Mod'Amont and
Premiere Vision will acquire 49% of the exhibition for €3.5million for cash.
Completion is expected to take place in January 2008.


In addition, the joint venture has entered into an agreement to share marketing
and operating services at their co-located events and it is planned to replicate
the Mod'Amont exhibition alongside Premiere Vision internationally.


The directors of Tarsus continue to anticipate that the acquisition of SEPIC
will be earnings enhancing in the year to 31 December 2008.


Douglas Emslie, Group Managing Director of Tarsus said:


"Mod'Amont and Premiere Vision are complementary exhibitions and the formation
of the joint venture will further their potential both in the important French
market and internationally".

TARSUS GROUP PLC


Strategic acquisition in fast growing Dubai market


12 November 2007


Tarsus Group plc, the international business-to-business media group with
interests in exhibitions, conferences, publishing and on-line media, has today
announced the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of The WR Kern
Organisation Limited, the UK based holding company of Fairs and Exhibitions
(1992) Ltd ("F&E"), its sole operating company.


F&E was founded in 1958 and has been focused on the Middle East since 1976. It
is one of the largest exhibition organisers in Dubai with 8 events covering
three principal industry sectors:- aviation, printing & packaging and education,
covering approximately 50,000 net square metres in total.


Tarsus will pay an initial cash consideration of US$23.5 million (approximately
£11.3 million). A further sum of up to US$11.5 million (approximately £5.5
million) may be payable in cash based on the future performance of the business
over the period to 30 April 2009. The existing management team will remain in
place to conduct the day-to-day running of the business.


A significant proportion of F&E's revenue is derived from the biennial Dubai
Airshow which takes place on 11th-15th November 2007, its tenth edition
anniversary. This event has some 900 exhibiting companies occupying over 32,000
net square metres and is expecting more than 40,000 trade visitors. Strong
growth in participation and revenue are anticipated to result from a move to a
new and larger dedicated venue in 2009.


Owing to the biennial nature of the F&E business, this acquisition is expected
to be earnings enhancing in the current year and also over the biennial cycle of
2008 and 2009.


Douglas Emslie, Group Managing Director of Tarsus, said:


"Tarsus has continued to make good progress in the second half of the year and
contracted revenue now stands at 97% of our full year forecast.


This acquisition presents Tarsus with a unique opportunity to accelerate our
strategy of expansion into fast growing markets. It will also allow us to extend
our core brands into a new geographic territory.


The world renowned Dubai Airshow is now Tarsus' largest event and immediately
gives us scale and exposure in the Middle East. This region, and in particular
Dubai, is expected to benefit further in the future from new exhibition venues
and infrastructure developments. Opportunities to purchase exhibition companies
of meaningful size in this region are scarce and F&E, with its long established
management and definitive products, is rare.


It is our intention to focus on Dubai as we develop our business in the Middle
East under the existing management of Virginia Kern and the F&E team. We
particularly look forward to working with the Department of Civil Aviation in
Dubai to further strengthen the aviation portfolio to the benefit of the dynamic
Dubai economy".

Some activity today

[oscarino] 31/10/2007 16:25

also encouraging to see Standard Life increase their stake to % 5.52> good long term bet IMHO

[oscarino] 18/5/2007 22:42

encouraging to see barclays have bought 6% of the company.

[johnv] 18/4/2007 15:33

good update, about to test 260 limit again.

[ian.g] 22/3/2007 13:22

trend support lines:

[ebslight] 22/3/2007 13:20

Support should show up 230 if that fails then we could be down to 200

[ian.g] 20/3/2007 17:24

sp drifting down towards the long-term support line - often seems to happen with this share in the early part of the year... watching and waiting... the second half of the year seems to be the time when the share price really takes off, but if we reach that support line earlier then it would be better to be in than out...

[saucepan] 07/3/2007 14:52

Standard Life accumulating :-)
