Chairman Roger Durn told Sharecast: "Although the acquisitions were successful, they were not as good as they could have been. We certainly learned from our acquisitions and next time we will be firmer. "While revenue is not likely to see the percentage levels of growth it did last year we are cautiously optimistic of another good year. "The board expects future growth to be funded by the group's strong financial position and future positive cash flows from existing business."
With a view to paying an annual dividend hereon in, the company paid 0.5p from profit and a special one-off dividend of 1.5p from the premium share account, which the firm said was to "reward shareholders for their patience now the company is strong enough". Year-on year pre-tax profit rose from $0.12m to $0.64m on revenues of $12.3m (2010: $8.3m), partly the result of deferred revenue from two acquisitions made in 2010. Basic earnings per share were 1.4c from 0.4c the previous year. Selling expenses jumped $1.9m to $5.2m, largely because of increasing staff numbers.
NetDimensions, a firm that develops software for staff training within the market of talent management, doubled its revenue in 2011. The company reported top-line growth rates of 133% in the USA, 64% in China and 28% in Asia Pacific, took on 135 new clients and is to make its first dividend payment.
The company added: "In 2012, the group will invest aggressively to develop and market our new talent management system and seed this new offering in our global markets. We are confident that the NetDimensions Talent Suite will become a substantial group business over time." House broker Panmure Gordon commented that NetDimensions' results were "gobsmacking" and said the sector has witnessed "a slew of M&A [mergers & acquisitions] activity of late", the result of an increasing awareness by companies that human capital management is increasingly important in a slow economic growth environment, where work and staff dynamics are changing, something that "makes for an exciting growth market".
The company is currently in the process of refocusing itself as a talent management company, rather than simply staff training, and is looking to boost revenue through its local after-sales services. NetDimensions said that it has been a "straightforward step" to align itself with the talent management and human capital management markets as they offer bigger deals within a bigger market. The transition is occurring through the addition of further programmes, known as the Talent Suite, which includes motivation for continued performance, which is being released in May, and career progression and learning growth, both due to be released around August 2012.
"The board expects future growth to be funded by the group's strong financial position and future positive cash flows from existing business." The firm added that while it is "actively looking" for appropriate acquisitions, none are currently in the pipeline. Cash at the end of the year increased to $6.9m from $6.0m the year before.

He died peacefully this morning, surrounded by his family. Everyone at NetDimensions extends their condolences.

After a rise of around 24% might be an idea to lock in 1/4 profits and run remaining holdings at no cost. Churn profits on any downside weakness. With substantial inroads being made into capturing a larger market share, but for now share price stuck in the rut. This stock will capture the market's attention one day.

Cash in the back of over 15p/share at last bean count. This provider of performance, knowledge and learning management systems, provides a trading update following its 31 December 2010 financial year-end and ahead of entering its close period. The Company reports that: · Revenue increased substantially during the year · The Board expects the revenue increase to be ahead of market expectations · Profit before tax is likely to come in substantially below expectation due to costs relating to the scaling up of existing teams, acquisitions and the settlement of a patent infringement claim in the United States · The Company maintains a healthy cash position at US$6.0 million and still has no debt · At 31 December 2010 rates, the cash position equates to 15.4p in cash per share CEO Jay Shaw commented: "2010 was an eventful year for NetDimensions. We continued to grow revenue whilst investing heavily in the future of the business. Buying both BP-Tech, a U.S.-based sales and services company, and our reseller Intellego's distribution rights business in the UK, allowed us to put part of our cash to work and should provide a strong, exciting platform from which to take the Company forward in 2011, which we believe will increase our market footprint. "In addition, settling the patent lawsuit will allow us to focus on growing the business rather than on litigation. "We believe these moves, along with our recent Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise license approval in China, will increase our potential to generate more revenue and improve profits in future."
