Just had a quick look at the results, not sure about the billets integration and promised new products, I cant get a handle on it at present. However I was particularly interested to see if the continuing operations model was starting to show the promised improvements to operating profit and it looks as though it is.

Interim results showed an operating profit of £495k on TO of £3457k = 14.32%
Full year results had operating profit of £1503 on TO of £7459k = 20.15%

Which means the second half produced an operating profit of £1008k on TO of £4002 = 25.86%

If the above numbers are correct (wont be the first time I have got it wrong) it looks as though an increase in TO of £545k has produced £513k of operating profit!?

Would appreciate any comments on the above.

Good Luck

GS

Thanks, WJC, very helpful. In view of that, the shares are perhaps not quite as cheap as I thought, but they do seem to be growing at an astonishing rate so I suppose they will look cheap in due course.

The deferred tax credit arises from using up the brought forward tax losses from the original thomson business. Basically the revenue lets you utilise these when you can satisfy them that you'll be making sufficient profits in the current year.

They adjust for the deferred tax credit in the adjusted EPS figure which is nice. On a normalised tax rate, adjusted diluted EPS would be approx 4.7p, putting them on a historic PE of 50. It's likely they can continue to use the 3.8mm deferred tax credit for the thomson business which therefore won't pay tax for a few years yet but Billets will (different company).

The forecast earnings for this year on a normalised tax rate would be about 9.4p (putting them on a PE of 25) as opposed to the 11.9p (PE of 20) currently forecast.

I agree with you - solid results.

Good results today, I think. Picked up another 2,000 (235p this time). Can someone explain to me the meaning of the deferred tax credit, £430k?

Looking a bit under the weather today. Added 2,000 at 222p.

There have been some chunky deals in the last two days, especially yesterday. Not that you can ever be sure, but it looked as though somebody paid over the share price for 70k.

Results back to the 25th, could it be that there is something to look forward to? Second quarter new product launches etc? Time will tell.

Thanks for that, Jeff C.

"Now that the big four regional newspapers are signed up" - how long before we get the first national? I am convinced it is just a question of time and not a long time at that. The model works and the scope in the UK alone is considerable without any consideration of the potential in Europe and from the colonials from across the pond.

"More publishers take up e-vouchers

The Guardian Media Group's regional division and Archant are the latest publishers to ditch their manual ad vouchering systems in favour of electronically-tracked campaigns.

Both publishers have now signed to Thomson Intermedia's online verification system, joining Newsquest, Amra, Johnston Press and Northcliffe, who adopted the service late last year.

The evouchering system allows for online or email proof of all advertising placed by agencies and advertisers after it has been published. Previously, agencies needed to request a hard copy of each newspaper and scan through them to check their ad had appeared. With more than 1,300 regional titles, this time-consuming system led to storage and disposal issues.

Now that the big four regional newspapers are signed up, Thomson is in discussions with other forms of printed media, including several national newspaper and magazine publishers.

Paul Kemp, director of Thomson Intermedia's press division, said: "What we are doing is developing a platform that will enable publishers to transact a lot smarter and smoother with their customers while at the same time reducing costs. Our aim is to get all printed media on the same system so that advertising agencies have a single portal to see how advertising campaigns have worked."

Thanks for that, GS. Perhaps I ought to top up. Still quite highly rated, but these shares will look very cheap in a few months if they meet the forecasts.

I must admit I thought the floor had been set at 210+ with the at premium placing. Still holding, still like the model, the near term will come down to H2 organic growth, not likely to hear about the second quarter new product launches by results in mid April, so probably get them at the AGM in July.

Chunky cross deals, one - one out?

Agreed. Certainly don't think it'll fall any further.

Let's hope it has. The price is down 25% or so from last year's peak, and I'm hoping it's fallen far enough.

Still have a core holding but think I'll wait for the numbers before adding. With the addition of Billets, it would have been very bad for them not to have met - personally I thought they would exceed expectations. The question is whether the weaker H1 organic growth in the original business has picked up in H2.

Well, I think it is anyway, so I bought in again. Just a few for starters.

Decent sort of trading statement today: expects to meet market forecasts, both Thomson and Billets doing well. Is this beginning to look cheap again?

Hello everyone,
First post here. Surprised no comment on the following story from yesterday. Does this mean that other global companies will become interested in the sector?



LONDON - Media auditor Media Audits has been bought by management consultancy and technology giant Accenture for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition, expected to close in 30 to 60 days, will boost Accenture's Marketing Sciences practice to more than 200 staff. Media Audits is currently majority owned by Barclays Venture Capital with the remainder in management hands.

Speculation about a sale has been around for several months and in September Campaign reported that Accenture was one of a number of possible buyers for Media Audits.

Media Audits CEO Julian Spooner will take the position of chief operating officer of the Accenture division, and its current head Jeffery Merrihue will be CEO.

Merrihue said the stronger entity would help international clients with a greater ranger of services.

"The fragmentation of communications channels has made it harder and more expensive to reach elusive target audiences. Our expanded marketing sciences practice will offer an 'industrial strength' service globally to clients who want to accelerate growth and ensure greater transparency of their marketing investments in an increasingly cross-border world," he said.

According to Spooner, Media Audits clients will benefit from access to more services that will help them better evaluate the effectiveness of their media buying. Its client list includes more than 60% of the world's top 100 advertisers.

The sale follows three months after the news that Billetts was to be bought by media monitoring company Thomson Intermedia for an initial £7.5m payment and a potential earn-out of £5.6m.

Media Audits was founded by Tony Ayers in 1976 and was sold by him in 2001, when Spooner, then Guinness' marketing and strategy director, bought into the company along with management and Barclays.
