Seriously, Kestrel's end of year is March like ours and now holding 25% of this company,having gone from 83p to where we are since EOY, and added tremendously during that time, they have investors to report to also.

How did Dean take it? Perhaps he'll iron his shirt and put on a tie. Haha - only joking Dean. But it would be nice to do something with the sp now. Kestrel must be champing at the bit.

Good morning Razmo. That is good news, and hopefully there will be one or two others. There's a bit to talk about since his last article. Thanks.

I trust their reiteration at 90p means we're on track for the £3.6mil adjusted pretax profit they also forecast. Only 2 month to go til end of year.

She originally came on board as part of the Documotive acquisition under a service agreement, and made her way up, with her partner in life, Jon Holyhead running 365Agile which was hived off at the time. Expected she might have gone earlier when 365 bit the dust and Mr. Holyhead departed.from that separate company under the Mxcp umbrella. Done her reasonable bit - have to wait for any future appointment.

In the past 2 months we've been notified of HMS contracts in Australia ( plus 3 other products ) and Ireland ( a full suite) - and that'll be alongside the other sales in the UK by cross selling, which they have not generally been in the habit of RNSing. Shows real progress and opportunity in those 2 additional geographies.

That's true. The whole MXC listed suite seems very quiet. But the RNS shows the strength of the company products, adding to repeat revenue. That's what we're after. At the stage of building that repeat revenue, and profit, with integration complete and associated costs done. This is the first full HMS win in Ireland - they'll use it on the roadshow now under way there. Excellent progress as per their model.

Thanks Appiama. Your moderate and balanced posting has proved correct.

These contracts will be renewed over and over again, with new products being added as they arise - provided Castleton stay at the top of its game. It is steadily proving it can outperform competitors. That is the nature of the housing association market. If you can get in - Castleton can - and they like you - they do - they buy from you. And continue to do so. The strength of this company is in the full integration of its own in house products, and its responsiveness to customer requirements - along with best in breed solutions.

That's nonsense. And the value is actually in accumulating the repeat revenue. The solutions will be pulling in revenue and more profit for many years, possibly unlimited ( any time period the RNS puts on it being merely illustrative ) And the customer is there for additional integrated solutions Castleton may take on. You fail to understand the model which has taken the company to a forecast of £3mil. plus this year.

Yes - don't know if you've read it but the bones of the way project managers/account managers operate are set out on the company's website under company policy/quality statements. I found it quite interesting.

Like you, I looked it up and couldn't find anything to add to the tweet. It's got to be an ongoing project, or it would have found it's way from the project manager, Mrs. McMillan, to Paudie O'Shea and chums in account management who take it on when its all up and running satisfactorily. So a newish one at least individual solution wise with revenue to add from that in due dourse I surmise.

Done. I'll buy you two at £1.20 - so there - just a little later, maybe next year!

Good afternoon Chris. I don't think there's any other logical way of looking at it beyond our agreed conclusions, on the facts, and they are facts, available.

Agreed. I'm thinking the joint management has an agenda here ( they will know who's been selling etc ) and its their money as well as ours. And it's worth remembering that the Kypera deal took place at 85.6, a premium to the then price, with an investment by MXCP alongside BGF. All news has been very positive since, and we are much better placed than then. I suspect it's a question of timing, and when it's right we shall see our new CEO buying, as you suggested before, or some other driving news. Then we shall make headway rapidly. In the meantime, Kestrel can continue to pick up the loose shares at this price.

I retain my faith in the management and company assets here, because the progress the company is making is evident. One only has to read the factual information from the company to come to that conclusion, and add to it the bits and bobs we pick up along the way. We have been brought down from the mid seventies, at which the market was happy, by a persistent large seller for reasons unconnected with company performance. That seller or sellers has to finish at some time,and in the meantime we have Kestrel at least picking up the diminishing sells at 59p, letting the seller out. There has been no RNS indicating institutional sales from holders obliged to notify save by Slaters who sold a very few ages ago. We have now firmed up the business in Australia, are starting a push in Ireland, and wait to see what they are going to do in Holland following the demise of ViaDuckt, though there are still 3 resellers there. That aspect does not seem to have worked well, and they will be looking at it. In relation to the UK, we are in truth only just at the stage of starting to see the full benefits of the integration of acquired companies flowing through, by way of cross selling. It takes time, but the heavy lifting has now been done, along with the expense involved. And on top of that we have the relevance of Kypera Financials to the private sector, which is plainly intended to be a further separate push into a different market, having regard to the way in which its promotion/user groups are being configured. It may be frustrating that we do not see uk contracts RNSd, but they will appear in the figures and at the end of the day it will be the reporting of revenue/profit that will dictate the share price. I therefore believe that FinnCaps 90p will prove not to be far off the mark during this year, perhaps even better.

Andrew Beeston is head of IT there. All this work will add to repeat revenue and appear as part of the annual turnover, and profit of £3m plus forecast for the current financial year by Finncap in support of their current 90p. target. Ongoing UK success appears evident, though not subject of individual RNS. Year to 31st. March should be great, and improving thereafter as revenues continue to accumulate, with capital costs now behind us and companies fully integrated.
