One possible cause for the lacklustre share price could be the fact that PEG's customers consists of tightly controlled budget restraint policies, and Political interference in their customers' order buying. Should PEG get away from the shackles of Governmental controlled users then we might see a more buoyant share price. As long as PEG continues to increase turnover, positive increasing earnings etc, then PEG can build on returning share holder value. What is for sure is there a widening of the gap between a strong corporate business model and a slow to catch up share price.
PEG is one of those unrecognised, underachievers that haunt AIM. It has a highly respectable, universally accepted product range. PEG has a significant positive shareholders fund. PEG has an income stream far exceeding its Market Cap. PEG has relatively few shares in issue, many tightly held. But PEG's share price continues to be relatively ignored by traders and held back by the Corporate Market. It is my opinion that PEG is one of those ugly duckling stocks that may, may just capture the market by surprise. PEG has held its own since writing on this stock in 2009 and still maintain this as a potential future "Hot" stock.

Image Scan, the AIM-listed specialist supplier of X-ray screening systems to the security and industrial inspection markets, is pleased to provide a trading update for the year to 30th September 2016. This trading update follows on from the development of the supply chain and manufacturing plans for the large order for ThreatScan®-LS1 portable X-ray systems which was previously announced on 30th June 2016. At that time the Company made clear that it would only be able to comment on the potential impact of this order on the performance for the current financial year once the relevant supply chain and operational planning was duly completed. Accordingly, the Company anticipates to have recognized the sale of approximately half this £800k order by the end of the financial year and therefore now expects to materially exceed current market expectations. Bill Mawer, Chairman and CEO of Image Scan, said: "For a Company the size of Image Scan, large orders can present their own challenges. However excellent progress has been made with the planning for the recent orders and we have the commitments from our supply chain. I am delighted that as a consequence Image Scan will now approach EBIT break even in the current financial year". The Company will issue a pre-close trading update in October ahead of its results for the year ended September 2016.

This provider of products and services for real-time financial market data processing and trading, is pleased to announce it has extended its agreement with an existing customer which will provide additional revenues of approximately £285,000 pa. With new Linux based software subscribed to on a recurring license basis, the client can now take advantage of Arcontech's continuous investment in keeping ahead of technological advances, for example the ability to interface with Open MAMA and Solace. The new agreement also sees the client subscribe to the Arcontech Symbol Mapper which as well as mapping one symbol to another will enable the creation of its own instruments from internal data and to re-purpose that content across the group. This reduces the requirement to source the same instrument prices from third party vendors. Matthew Jeffs, Arcontech's CEO, commenting on the new agreement said: "We very much enjoy working with progressive clients where our exceptional domain knowledge of real-time market data, coupled with our clients experience and wishes means we can offer the very best solutions. Our goal is to help create flexibility and choice for our clients against other suppliers who wish to lock them into their platforms. Ultimately our independent outlook means our clients can choose the most suitable content, transport layer and infrastructure for their data user's needs, whilst invariably making huge cost savings".
