Other side is there is nothing remotely suggesting anything other than that company progressing according to expectation, with some cost and time expended in the challenge of integration, which we are told is now substantially complete. Indeed, we are told that with a full year from all companies, properly integrated, and as they return to concentrate on cross selling and so on results will improve further - last year they tripled the revenue, achieved 20% organic growth, and would have turned a profit but for acquisition/integration costs. That is now forecast for this year. There are many encouraging signs post integration and cost as Castleton look ahead - such as enlarging their HQ and commencing a programme of major enhancement/upgrades to their products, the formulation of additional user groups, and expanding into other sectors for little or no additional outlay.There are others.

Price has dropped back from touching high of 90 ( that on takeover rumour transpiring to be Kypera acquisition )There's been a seller or sellers for some time, possibly including the previous owners of Opus, Keylogic, or a combination of them and others, such as Oxford VCT. Share price been driven down, with we know Kestrel a long time supporter picking them up at various levels. There's been an arrangement to mutual advantage between businessmen, and Kestrel finish up with 22% so far. I think due to numbers there's more than one buyer. That's one side of it.

"From the date of acquisition to 31 March 2016, Kypera recorded revenue of £0.4 million and a profit before taxation of £0.1 million. Assuming the combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, the reported revenue from Kypera would have been £2.5 million and the profit for the year before taxation would have been £0.5 million." Cheers!

Sold and selling I hope. As you will know the Kypera acquisition took them further into non social housing sectors. It's a financial/business package on its own as well. Kypera was recently updated, but they're obviously going to develop it further and seem to be looking to do it on two fronts, one for financial and one for housing. Been reading that's what's good about Kypera, very flexible and can be developed relatively easily by diving into the bit you want to alter rather than re-write from the beginning. Have a good weekend. Cheers.

They appear to have formed, new to me anyway, a fresh user group in addition to the housing user group. Both meet in January - details on website. This may be partly to cater for the financial package bought in as part of the modular Kypera deal. Castleton Financials User Group @ Castleton Technology plc 9:30 am - 4:30 pm Our Castleton Financials User Group is a great opportunity for customers to meet with the Castleton team, share ideas, suggest improvements and discuss new & existing functionality.

41m Nat Leasehold Group ‏@NLGroup_UK Big thanks to Jimmy Rogers, Commercial Sales Director from @CastletonTech for your talk on software that helps customer service! #NLC2016

Thanks for clarification. Don't know if the word ' commercial' is meaningful. He's a new name to the fore though.

Possible he's taken on some of Bells responsibilities, with no change in directors. Just conjecture, but she never went anywhere anyway as far as I know.

See he's on future of customer service in world of digital aid. Quality of service through from suppliers to tenants and customers in general being they've said high on their priorities.

Not sure if he's sales director but elsewhere he's referred to as Chief Operating Officer. Maybe a promotion there for him.

Castleton at National Leasehold Group conference today. And they got the Young Housing Leader of the year, Steve Ellard, from Yorks Coast Homes where they're doing business to address their in house conference next month.

And more to the point, perhaps why do you protest so much? Never mind, we're all waiting on company matters, which I hope will at least show steady progress towards the so far elusive profit, because of previous integration costs.

In summary, you 1. Object to my posting. 2. Object to my long term perspective. So what?

It's an oft used phrased when a poster, in a different name, finds himself in difficulty. Thought you might find it useful.

'Smoke n mirrors.' The fall back one.

Or perhaps the ' some n mirrors ' line? That's about due.

Going to float the debt/equity swap on here next - Castleton skint and can't pay it's bills. Might as well, you done everything else.
