FinnCap latest of today not yet showing on LSE

FinnCap just reiterated 90p on the basis of what they know is the foundation for the trading update. Integration done, capital costs behind us and now we know the cash is rolling in. With additions to contracted repeat revenue, can only get better.

Possibly a bit of a delayed reaction today I fancy! Market expectations were £3.6 mil profit before tax and not 3.1 as I posted earlier, to pay debt/grow. Loads of working capital anyway. Wait now for audited accounts which I'm sure our new CEO will have spoken to CFO before putting his cash in recently, together with an outlook statement - by that time proceeding as Castleton is there will be more cash having come in, with new contracts enhancing those for financial year just gone. Very pleased to have our thoughts here confirmed.

I should hope so. People missing a trick here on that update. Should be in the 70s by this time. Perhaps now we'll get some press.

And they have exceeded operating cash flow expectation, thus being more able to reduce debt/grow the company from profit. Couldn't ask for more.

Brilliant update. ' In line with market expectations ' which as stated by FinnCap with their 90p target are:- 22% EBITDA increase as mentioned by Mxcp in their results RNS Increased revenue to £21.1 mil PROFIT before tax of £3.1mil

RNS Number : 5932B Castleton Technology PLC 05 April 2017 5 April 2017 Castleton Technology plc ("Castleton", the "Group" or the "Company") Trading Update Castleton Technology plc (AIM: CTP), the software and managed services provider to the public and not-for-profit sectors, is pleased to provide the following update on trading for the year ended 31 March 2017 ahead of the announcement of its full year results. The Company is pleased to announce that revenue and profitability for the year are in line with market expectations.

David Payne, Chairman of Castleton, commented: "I am pleased with the substantial progress Castleton has made in the period having built a leading software and managed services provider in our sector. Meeting our financial targets whilst demonstrating the profitable and cash generative nature of our business is reassuring and we remain focussed on improving our customer proposition and cross-selling our portfolio of products and services. The Board remains confident about Castleton's future prospects."

Yes. Castleton being a bit more adventurous with their Twitter of late. You will have seen they're also congratulating the new Radius association following merger - don't know if there's currently anything in that for the company arising from Helm and Fold.

Interesting also that Asra are positioning to merge with Paragon.

Good afternoon. I see Asra Housing, a 14000 housing association, gone live just now with a repairs system. Must be Impact. Another one done but not RNS'd.

Good morning Hummy. Can't see anything other than a very positive update having moved into profit 6 months ago and building repeat revenue plus new customers - like you say, been a lot higher before and nothing but good news since. I imagine Cluid is one of the customers regarded as 'key' to leading future sales.

Housing, one of Castleton's recent significant contracts, taking positive lead with Irish housing minister Coveney in rejuvenating housing provision. Good to have them, as Ireland's largest association, as a new customer. 23h Rebuilding Ireland‏ @RebuildingIRL Cluid Housing Publishes research on stigma in social housing @simoncoveney #RebuildingIreland will deliver more mixed housing developments

Taking the previous very large trades into account, that is.

It appears to show that whoever's buying, they're prepared to pay the price as we've moved up. Surely must be due a holdings RNS now, unless it's a new investor under 3%.

just popped up from Tuesday. Whatever they are, gone somewhere and starting again at this price.

Just an article which may be of passing interest to investors here 17 Mar Gillamor Stephens‏ @GillamorStephen Andy Ross, CEO at @CORETXplc and Operating Partner with MXC Capital, features in the latest edition of GS-insight (link: http://bit.ly/2mWepjH) bit.ly/2mWepjH

A little progress - that'll do for me for the day. Touch wood, we seem to be getting back to a bit of 'normality' with trades since CEO/Mxcp buys - no coincidence I think.

Castleton wins with Cluid and Arcon feature in the March edition of Housing Tech Magazine, out today. Nothing of additional note beyond the RNS.

It seems that those with bigger pockets are taking a positive view on prospects here at this stage, quietly buying, but in general smaller pi's. have yet to pick up on it, should they take a similar view. End of financial year soon upon us.

at 67.52!
