Interesting that the price hasn't moved a jot though.
Tbh if they announce a contract win in the uk for their services it should make this take off.
Been a very long road so far.
Someone paid £126,500 for almost one and a half million shares this morning. Something stirring maybe?
For one large holder - can manipulate this share price - but good luck to all who hold like me and believe in this company ... but in the end money rules - think largest holder of shares and second largest - trying to make more millions -- good luck to them as long as i do as well :D
Another tick in the right box. gradually building a good portfolio of products. Just looking for a Uk contract win with a major player now.
Share price keep going down don't know why? It should be recovering now not going down under 10 pence...
Early April --- lots of large buys and sells -- which has lowered price -- agree someone with large investment playing with price -- emm anyone hazard a guess who?? :D and when will price go back to where it should be --- ?????
Just need to wait. The sp should be going up on the results, bod buys ect but it does not always work that way. My suspicion is we have a seller keeping the price down. Currently, the sp is sitting on a lot of support. If this breaks, we could be looking at the sp drifting to 6p. Im not convinced this will happen though and i have topped up now. If by chance it does drop to 6/7p with no news, i certainly will be added more. Gla
I'm sitting on my hands ... big director buying, improving figures and growing markets for a wider variety of products, all give me the incentive to stay invested. Also held for years and have been on plenty of CPP roller coasters rides in that time! The 8 top major shareholders own over 95% of this company so it's pretty illiquid. Not sure if that works to the PI's benefit but ultimately am hoping so.
This one amazes me! Been in cpp for years. After the very positive RNS I was convinced this would move nicely, nothing, hardly any trades and no movement. Could this be a very long term share or would others have expected a little more movement than what we’ve seen?
Tim Elliot has purchased 175,000 shares at 13.5p each Good news if these guys keep putting their own money in.
Agree this is fantastic revenue growth and it seems more to come this year would expect this to pick up today
This is all good news?? No trades!? Surely this should have moved on these results?

Our strong balance sheet and cash resources give us ample opportunity to invest in new products and services or make strategic acquisitions, while our growing array of partners will ena
Well I was expecting the sp to respond in some way. Bit strange!
Are out today
No news for a while here... will we see the usual year end results at end of March?
.
Everything pointing towards this doing well. Usually see the sp pick up this time of year in to January. Might see a trading up date which probably need to give it a bit of upwards momentum. Something to the effect that 'income and business doing really well now and exceeds expectations' would be good right now.

surely this must be good news for the company and the shareholders?
