Well done to holders. Good set of results and shareprice rise to boot. What a difference a good management team can bring.

Woodcutter - Surprisingly I mirror your view. Few notes of caution in the statement that also preclude me from buying at this time.

Firmly on my watchlist though.

Excellent results and bang on high expectations.

The 0.71 eps is after £200k+ of finance costs. They should substantially disappear this year.

Thar with a small uplift in trading will push headline figures over 1p. Room for upgrades later in the year.

what would you pay for a company such as this with no debt. 10x, 20x - take your pick. 5x don't make me laugh.

Well i was interested having read the results in particular the numbers looked very good but a potential slowdown this year has dampened my enthusiasm. Yes i know it's based on continued investment but the market is very fickle and i would expect the share price to retract a little, having risen sharply, on this note of caution.

My other concern is how limited the market might be, there seems to be a lot of growth dependant on clients accepting upgraded systems.

I may be wrong as it still looks undervalued but any statement of this nature seems to be viewed with a negative slant so i'll watch closely for any weakness and reconsider at that time.

well done all those who picked it up on the way up.

Cracking results! The new board has proved they have the right strategy for the future and are investing in new product for the future growth and have stated that they expect to see profitable growth this year and look set for another big boost in 2014 if the investment in R&D goes according to plan. There is now a very strong balance sheet and a much stronger shareholder base so the company can grow rather than have constant stalling of the engine!
I think this company is still a long way from where it can go.

I think the results are wonderful. Even slightly exceeded my expectations. Basic eps of 0.71p and dilluted eps of 0.58p. Smashing.

[cockneyrebel] 04/4/2013 07:36

Rather good results imo, ahead of expectations of 0.6p eps. Not unreasonable to think these might do 1p eps or more this year which would give a very modest PE of 5 or less perhaps.

Nice little hold imo - new board has been critical here.

Very positive set of result all boxes ticked IMHO, share price should move North but you never know.

[davidosh] 03/4/2013 16:07

I have a place available to join me at a presentation by the directors next Wednesday if any of you are keen and in London that day.

[cfro] 03/4/2013 15:07

Already done 0.35p eps for the first half of the year. Even if they achieve eps of 0.2p for the second half would see a single digit pe here.

More contract wins since announced for this financial year too.

[cockneyrebel] 03/4/2013 14:06

Agree cfro - looking fwd to them.

Thats now into new highs. Results Friday are going to be interesting. They have said they are 'trading ahead of expectations'.

[cfro] 02/4/2013 11:53

Moving up slowly ahead of results.

[cfro] 18/3/2013 16:53

and a beautiful end to the day.

[cockneyrebel] 12/3/2013 19:58

Results the beginning of April, about 3 weeks away.

Might see why directors were buying shares in mid Jan then.

loganair, I am talking about UNG shares only.

[red army] 09/3/2013 16:06

Thats true Loganair but the fundamentals should still be able to support the price and who knows it could be a buying opportunity.

[loganair] 09/3/2013 15:47

Many shares have good news on results day, but the price still falls.

[dealit] 09/3/2013 14:22

I would expect the price to fall only if the results are disapointing. The trading statement was positive plus Directors have bought since the trading statement which suggest good news IMHO.

[loganair] 09/3/2013 09:21

Remember, Buy on the rumour, Sell on the News - Results so I would expect the share price to fall on results day as has already had a very good move up.

[cfro] 08/3/2013 16:38

Back up over 4p. Results due next month should be worth looking out for.

[cfro] 16/2/2013 18:25

I agree, looks a great little buy point on the charts. Finals due in the next few weeks should highlight just how cheap these are imo.

[bisiboy] 16/2/2013 17:27

as a long term holder i have to say that the chart does look very good.

[cfro] 04/2/2013 10:26

Up nicely this morning. :-)
