Small caps round-up: WH Ireland, Norseman Gold, Geong...

Mon, 28th Feb 2011 14:40

Stockbroker WH Ireland made pre-tax loss of £0.3m in the 12 months to November, much less than the £2.1m deficit reported the year before.Turnover fell 25% to £18.4m, but the new financial year has started well, in line with the firm's internal budget and much better than for the previous year. "Overall, I would say that the year ended with WH Ireland being in much better shape than it has been in recent years, but it is just the 'end of the beginning' rather than cause for congratulation," boss Paul Compton said.Norseman Gold lost A$803,000 in the six months to December compared with a $610,000 profit the year before as the firm focused on developing two new mines.But the company has now shifted from a development focus to production in the new year "with the emphasis on returning the operations to profitability in the June quarter, as production ramps to maximum mill capacity".It produced 23,391 ounces of gold last year, but predicts a "significant" increase from the extensive capital investment program carried out during the past 18 months. GEONG International, the China-focused Internet software solutions provider and operator, forecasts a "satisfactory" outcome for the year to 31 March 2011 having made good progress since interim results in December."Much of this improvement has been achieved through the transformation of the business towards a better balance between IaaS (infrastructure as a service) and SaaS (software as a service) revenue streams," it said.Pursuit Dynamics, developer of the PDX steam reactor and atomising technology, has brushed aside speculation about the ability of the business to deliver to customer expectations."The company is very confident that the technology, the team and the strategy are in place that can deliver genuinely valuable solutions to PDX's clients and strong returns for shareholders," chairman Andrew Quinn told shareholders at today's AGM.Victoria Oil & Gas says the signing of an exploitation decree for the Logbaba gas field in Cameroon is "imminent" and should result in first gas sales within five months.The announcement came as Victoria, which does not yet accrue revenues, said pre-tax losses in the six months to 30 November narrowed to $833,000 from $4.47m a year ago.Seismic mapping group Offshore Hydrocarbon Mapping predicts an interim pre-tax loss of between £1.2m and £1.5m for the six months to 28 February compared with a £1.2m last time as it completes its reorganisation following the disposal of the marine CSEM businesses. The group, which is changing its name to Rock Solid Images, said revenues are expected to be about £1.8m, up from £1.7m last time.Conglomerate Melrose has sold three of its smaller businesses - Madico, Logistex UK and Brush Traction - generating aggregate sale proceeds of approximately £20.5m.
