Another acquisition ! Didnt see this one coming, but looks an excellent fit in to the group, cash and profit generative. Placing may cause some volatility I guess but otherwise a great move IMHO http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201210120700045417O

Good stability in between advances in the sp, thats what I have seen during this long recovery period. We know that the turnaround in fortunes has been well planned and executed by a top rate team. No worries at all for me with these, it has been a great share to hold, and will continue to be. AEB

The synergies between Addiction and the other parts of the group are very clear. It is another step up for the group, and a major plus for Addiction to be able to offer all group services to their client base. Win.win. Shame the market hasnt taken it so well today, we need those director buys to bolster confidence IMHO

More growth, good news: David Morgan, said: "With its in-house production capability and strong reputation in above-the-line work, Addiction is another valuable addition to the range of services we can provide our Clients from any of the mission's seven Agencies. This further strengthens our unique proposition and integrated model, which we believe is unsurpassed in the industry."

Interesting comment by David Morgan. Judging by the available bank facility they have plenty of clout to grow by acquisition. More growth now while the industry is generally weaker will prove to be a great way to add strength, taking even more advantage of a rising economy IMHO

The continued focus on working capital management and debt reduction resulted in a strong reduction in net finance charges, of almost 30%, to £0.6m (2011: £0.9m), after which headline profits before tax were 20% higher, at £2.1m (2011: £1.8m). There were no exceptional items during the period but £0.1m of exceptional restructuring cost was incurred in 2011. After this cost, the year-on-year growth in operating profit was 8%, and in pre-tax profit was 27%.

It has been said. Excellent performance, market liking the results. Good stuff.

Teasing us this morning.

A good policy, too many dont say what they see. Will be watching in the morning, ATVB

Rising strongly towards finish, these are new highs. This has been coming for a long time, very surprising that so few of us have seen it and taken advantage. Bad rampers the pair of us. ;-)

We know it will be good news, the last RNS told us. Just a matter of how good, and where that will take the sp. Not a worry for me, going nowhere for a long time yet. ATB

More good buying ahead of tomorrow's RNS, happy days :-))

Bid raised a tad, in anticipation of Wednesday results RNS. Where do we go after they are published? I can only see patient longer term holders here, with more being added as the value of the business keeps rising in to the general financial recovery, and the plummeting debt and forecast commencement of dividends here next year. A real winner for me so far, and I expect an awful lot more. GLA

A bit quicker than last year. Very keen to read the details, there should be quite a few talking points. Looking forward to Wednesday. ATB

Interims statement this month, but when this month? "As a result of the reduction in net debt, lower interest costs have resulted in a strong year-on-year increase in pre-tax profits." " As the Group further reduces its debt levels, the Board anticipates that it will be able to declare a dividend next year." Like waiting for Christmas :-) Last years announcement was on 30th, so a bit longer yet I guess.

Thats excellent news, Bray Leino showing it is in a class of its own. More power to them.

Well done with the top up. I believe you, more than most, know the latent value here. Hoping to see it realised as the rest of the year progresses. Sp growth plus dividends soon, a real win/win investment. ATB

Indeed, looks promising as there should be a relatively short lead up tp production there. Things remain quiet here, I strongly suspect that buys are being shown as sells. However, we know that small volumes are needed to shift this as most shares are tightly held. Certainly mine are, looking forward to the full report next month. ATB

Morning to you Shopping yesterday evening, and bought scones, which I never buy. the power of promotion ehh. Dawn Trader, thats a grand idea, lets get the sp up there first for a real celebration. ATVB
