Thirteen Communications [Porta] is handling the Media PR for Silvertown - 2015 is the year it comes together Silvertown is London’s new home for the leading edge. In the heart of London’s future – the East – Silvertown is located in the historic Royal Docks, sandwiched between Canary Wharf and London City Airport. http://www.silvertownlondon.com/

Gama Aviation may benefit in the UK from the non-renewal of the Royal Warrant to indirect service providers. AirPartner [AIP] held a service Royal Warrant from 2004 to 2009 renewed for 5 years to 2014. Due to the large number of 'indirect' service suppliers, the award was re-evaluated and only given to direct service providers to the Royal family. Brokers therefore did not qualify and the Air Partner warrant was not renewed. In view of this, a major distinguishing mark between AIP and other providers eg Gama has now been removed and the playing field has thus been 'levelled'. IMO, despite there being little immediate change, I am convinced that Gama will incrementally benefit in the UK/USA region as a direct result in commercial operations.

10p by Easter. Excellent management with first class track record; super team now under one roof in London HQ; EBITDA positive with very strong future earnings growth; string of positive RNS all indicating good H2 2014 now in the bag and huge potential for this year and beyond. Centralisation and legacy PPR structure costs should now be easily covered and strong forward earnings from organic growth and acquisitions should escalate. the only thing missing now is our own promotion to a wider audience. Now we have both critical mass AND momentum the Porta story will be compelling and the current price is clearly ridiculously cheap. The opportunity to buy at 7.25p is a steal (33% less than par 10p). DYOR and set your upside as this can and should easily double from here on 2015 prospects alone.

It's time for the mega PR charm offensive as we promote ourselves! The shareprice is totally at odds with the prospects if you check out all existing RNS releases! Major rerate well overdue. Hopefully we've now cleared the legacy seller and can move into clear air. 10p is an easily achievable par value short term and a bit of promotion should get us there sooner rather than later. Roll on 2015 - bright future ahead.

Given the excellent stream of RNS data over the past 18 months the shareprice is failing to respond to the excellent outlook. We have a block-seller releasing small but irritating, quantities into the market for whatever reason - probably to raise cash to cover other commitments [possibly got caught out in the Swiss Franc scenario; who knows]. The institutions are very supportive and are all invested at higher prices than the current 7.25p. All the acquisitions to date have been purchased through share/mixes issued at par value 10p or above and the CEO has an average purchase price for his shares over 5 years of 9.29p. He is a savvy, seasoned and experienced CEO and has repeatedly said that the price does not reflect the true value of the business which is evolving. Nor will he raise money from issuing shares at this lowly price for further acquisitions. I now expect the frustration of the BoD to be reflected in a concerted PR effort to get Porta on the map with the sole effort of raising investor awareness of the growth prospects. We have year end figures in the bag, we have a month [running] of PPS and Publicasity being integrated into the Porta team and we are getting strong organic revenue growth. IMO, the longer we wait for any update, the bigger the blockbuster it will be. All the foundations are in place now for a really good RNS with all the numbers and projections for analysts to work on.2015 will certainly be our year - onwards and upwards from here. We are in a closed period for directors to buy so expect an immediate reaction when it clears and we hit the radar.

Very interesting interview from December if you haven't seen it. Porta being transformed. Great statement that David Wright is 'in closed period' preventing directors from buying shares plus 'wouldn't be happy raising acquisition cash at the then shareprice of 8.75p' that sits happily with the 10p par value shares issued to vendors of PPS and Publicasity. http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/stocktube/3346/porta-communications-ceo-other-acquisitions-planned-3346.html Roll on this year and the realisation of the £50m plus Marcoms business.

Our MCap is now lower than our 6 monthly turnover if you take PPS and Publicasity pro rata into last Interims!! This is clearly crazy. The shareprice is being capped at the moment by a block seller ( presumably a legacy ex-manager from the 2010/11 era selling out??) Once he's out of the way the champagne cork is well and truly off. Hopefully he's nearly out now and he can s*d off and let us rerate to a sensible level the other side of par 10p.

Decided to take a 10% profit here despite the trading update. i bought in December on the back of a rebound in sales and the distinguishing fact that we held a Royal Warrant from 2004 renewed for 5 years to 2009 then again to 2014. However, despite the fact that we are still used by the RF etc, the Warrant has only been renewed to direct service suppliers across a range of industries. As a charter/ broker I was disappointed to learn that we had fallen into that niche of lapse. Whilst it should not affect the business in any way, it was a factor that distinguished us from similar operators like Gama, Hangar 8 etc and I can't help but think it conveyed a bit of Kudos in the USA. Good company, probably undervalued, but a bit disappointed that we can't display it on the annual report. Heyho.

2 nice little buys gone in - certainly got a bargain there!

We should have confirmation of the system sale expected to fall in final month 2014. It did not happen due to delays, but I fully expect it to be concluded in the near future and, as such, will have an immediate effect on the price given the significant profit involved. All IMO and worth the patience in view of news to come.

David Wright was the founder of Citigate, one of the leading public relations companies within the UK, and in 1997 reversed Citigate into Incepta Plc, becoming Chief Executive and subsequently Chairman. In March 2005, Incepta Plc was merged with Huntsworth Plc in a transaction worth £195 million, with Incepta shareholders holding approximately 67 per cent. of the enlarged business. Between 1997 and 2003 when David left Incepta plc he built the largest international financial communications company in the world through a series of key acquisitions and an active recruitment programme. The Board of TSE Group plc was approached by David Wright, the former Chief Executive of Incepta plc in 2010 with a strategy to build a fully integrated media business. As a result of these negotiations David Wright became Group Chief Executive. David was paid £150k in shares in lieu of his 2010 consultancy fees Thus on flotation he held 1.5m at equivalent 10p a share He purchased the equivalent of 200000 at 10p in July 2011 He bought 235000 more at 8p in November 2011 He bought a further 536000 at 6.75p in March 2012 Recently he purchased a further 272727 at 11p in June 2014 He therefore holds 2743727 shares at an average cost of 9.29p

Given all the information that I have posted on Porta and the excellent track record of its BoD members, particularly David Wright CEO, I have done more detailed research. The fact that you can currently buy into Porta at a 22% discount to the aggregate price paid over 4 years by the CEO is amazing. Even more so when you realise that other board members have higher aggregate prices and BoD options at 10p only kick in when the shareprice exceeds 20p. I shall post the synopsis as a separate post subsequently.

Given that volume has been low, the reaction has been overdone. We have only had one trading day this year with volume over 750k shares which is low. The IIs are embedded and supportive and all the news has been positive for the past 18 months. The purchases of PPS and Publicasity at the tail end of 2014 has allowed integration into HQ from the very start of our 2015 year. To recap, the October trading update was very positive; add in the acquisitions (bringing a pro-for a £1.25m annual profit into 2015)and the outlook looks very strong. The 2014 results should be extremely encouraging, but it is the transformed Porta moving into 2015 that will be the catalyst that attracts big investors. David openly indicated that this would be the case and the more integrated the acquisitions, the better the guidance for the coming year. I have no doubt that the BoD are working on a concerted PR programme to highlight Porta as the bigger picture is rapidly taking shape. Sanlam, having replaced Singer N1, will also be working on its maiden broker notes. It is invariably frustrating waiting for news, but very rewarding when that news is both meaningful and appropriate. We have a competent and seasoned management in Porta who are working hard to build an even stronger team and I am sure patience will be rewarded IMO.

Hope you're enjoying this [long] ride up comeonvog. Remember Jan 5th when we were the only 2 on here accumulating at 46.5p. More investors looking on here now. Onwards and upwards towards £1 and beyond - Hehe!

£25m MCap and only 56m shares in issue mean this will rocket when the next system sale is announced. As Desmond Smurfit stated, he expected one to close before December 31st. It didn't, but that's life, when it does close in the near future it will be a significant amount in the bank. We have a business growing rapidly by organic growth and have plenty of cash in the bank - a system sale is a whopping plus on top of that. Patience.

Welcome on board comeonvog. Fundamentals here are brilliant and new contract imminent. Result - immediate and substantial upgrade.

Fasten the inertia belts........ the spring has just been wound back.....................countdown begun and..........[DYR]....

46.5p mid is a steal.

Probably give us total £1m profit for the year but H1 2015 will soar on imminent system sale[s]. Upside actually just improved markedly IMO at 47p! The games MM's play........................... Try holding it down on the RNS.....
