This AIM quoted consultancy specialising in the identification and development of high growth potential SMEs, is pleased to announce contract wins totalling approximately £550,000 for the month of September 2010, which represents the largest value of contract wins the Company has achieved in a single month. The Board is pleased to announce that during September 2010, the Company secured one new client and a further two new contract wins from existing clients. The contracts were secured by MiAD, a leading NHS-dedicated training and education solutions company business, and The Learning Eye ("TLE"), a management training agency based in the UK focused on delivering training and consulting services. Both MiAD and TLE are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Board believes the investment it has made in product development, client management and creative team development has significantly contributed to the Company's ability to win and execute these contracts. The Company announced on 28 September 2010 the establishment of The Learning Eye (Switzerland) AG based in Zurich, to support Strontium and its subsidiaries' growing business in Europe. During the six months to 31 December 2009, projects for work delivered to non-UK markets accounted for over 20% of revenues in the period. Commenting, David Barker, Managing Director of Strontium Plc, said: "The award of this range of business reflects Strontium's ability to develop and deliver truly international research, education and communications solutions. I am delighted with this performance and would like to thank both our existing and new clients for placing their trust in us."

Announces today that the US Army has renewed its annual electronic signature enterprise license support with Silanis Technology Inc. ("Silanis"). The Army Audit Agency has validated that the use of electronic signatures is expected to save the US Army $1.3 billion every year once the Army Publishing Content Management System ("APCMS") is fully implemented. This initiative is aimed at transforming US Army operations by eliminating paper from forms-based processing. Tommy Petrogiannis, Silanis' founder and C.E.O. commented: "The US Army, one of the largest organizations in the world, undertook a monumental challenge six years ago to transform itself into a paperless organization. Every year, tens of millions of electronic signatures are used to improve operational readiness and reduce costs. Continuous improvement is underway, as evidenced by Silanis' September 2010 announcement that a division of the Army licensed our latest generation of solutions. This division will now be able to harness the power of Silanis' Electronic Signature Process Management capability, and easily extend e-signing processes to the iPad and other web-centric, platform-independent mobile devices

This global intermodal logistics solution provider to the chemical, polymer, food and minerals industries, is pleased to provide a pre-close trading update for its financial year ended 30 September 2010. Full year results are expected to be in line with market expectations. Our customers' confidence levels have continued to improve from the low point of the first half of 2009 and we have seen encouraging business performance in the 12 months to 30 September 2010 with strong revenue growth across most sectors and regions. Margins, which typically lag revenue growth, have remained under pressure but are now showing some early signs of slight improvement. Within our Liquid Bulk sector, demand has supported a tankcontainer on-hire programme and we have ended the year with a record global fleet size exceeding 8,600 units, an increase of around 1,000 units from the preceding year, and high asset utilisation. Our European Dry Bulk business has seen growth in activity and improvement in asset utilisation, albeit from a low base. Our customers have focused on cash and driven down inventory levels, which has had a substantial impact on the level of storage income we have generated. Koert van Wissen, Chief Executive said: "We have seen a further year of robust financial performance and a return to revenue growth. Throughout the year, the Group's high customer service levels and quality standards have been maintained. Continued high service levels and our ability to provide customers with a solution oriented approach will bring further success. The fundamental drivers for future growth of the Group remain strong. Intermodal logistics is a proven cost effective, safe and environmentally friendly solution for bulk supply chains. We are focused solely on intermodal solutions and our strategy to diversify our business both in geography and customer base provides a sound platform for the future."

This specialists in the field of real-time 3D and 2D x-ray imaging for the 'Homeland Security' and 'Industrial Inspection' markets, today provides shareholders with a trading update, highlighting the trading position of the Company for the year ending 30 September 2010. The Board anticipates turnover for the year ended 30 September 2010 at £1.5 million (2009: £1.4 million). Sales of security equipment continue to grow based on a more than two-fold increase in demand for the FlatScan portable x-ray scanning system emerging from a wide range of end users. Taking advantage of the recent significant reduction in component costs for 3D computing, the Company has invested in the redesign of the Axis baggage screening system resulting in highly competitive 3D and 2D versions of the Axis product range. A sale into the Middle East has already been secured on the back of this revised costing and pricing model. Industrial revenue represents 16% of total revenue and results from software development, consultancy, spares and support activities. Demand for new equipment sales is still at a very low level, although the Company continues to pursue high value industrial opportunities. The shift in sales mix from industrial to security over the past two years has seen the nature of orders change from large one-off contracts delivered over a long period of time towards a greater quantity of lower value orders which are delivered from stock. The year end cash balance of £347,000 (2009: £850,000) reflects the necessary investment in stock to support the prompt turnaround of sales, and the order book of £95,000 represents ongoing service, support and spares contracts

On 30 September 2010, REH announced that it intended, subject to the necessary shareholder approval, to embark on a share buyback programme to attempt to remove the downward pressure on the price of the Company's shares as a result of institutional sellers (the "Buyback Programme"). The board of REH (the "Board") has re-considered this intention in light of the recent price rise in REH shares and has resolved not to pursue the Buyback Programme at the present time. The Board will continue to review this decision as it deems appropriate. This buy back policy is bad news for the private investor as they will never ever be able to participate, only the major investors be able to sell their shares back to the company at a premium to prevailing market price. Would it not be fairer to pay dividends. Both options would take cash out of the business, but dividends would put cash into the pockets fairly. Buy backs are argued to increase assets per share, thus increase shareholder value, that is how it is spun, but buy backs rarely are for the good of the ordinary investor. Share re-purchase programmes is fools gold strategy.

Having achieved a meteoric rise recently. Might be a tad idea for those in early last and this year can do no harm by locking in substantial profits. Sell half and run remainder for pure profit. Churn profits on any weakness.

Corporate activity here has moved on in leaps and bounds. My guess is that current share price is a tempting entry point. http://www.reh-plc.com/

GedW's usual advice to those who were in early. Take profits of a third of stake, and run remainder for truly pure profits. Churn profits on weakness as before..

This is how a company source responded to the interims released today. I am confident that North River now has the foundation in place to grow the Company via its exploration efforts and to build on its position as an emerging southern African focussed resource exploration and development company. As previously disclosed, the Board will continue actively to evaluate potential acquisitions, but will only enter into transactions that are clearly going to be value enhancing for the Company's shareholders.North River has been through significant change over the last twelve months and the Board believes that the Company has now created a strong platform for future growth. North River now has new staff and offices in Namibia, the review of all material project data is nearing completion and a significant new landholding has been added through the Extract Namibia nuclear fuels transaction. In addition, the necessarily slow rehabilitation of the Namib Lead Zinc mine has nearly advanced to the point where exploration efforts can resume. The Company has assessed a great many potential acquisitions over the past six months but, to date, none have made a compelling investment case.

This in my mind is a little gem of a company that the market appears to have overlooked at its peril. The numbers both published and expected stack up well, unfortunately the "city" has not got this co on its "books" so to speak so there is no analyst info currently available, noe being researched. But it is a Co that will burst onto the market catching the unwary by surprise, one day.

This stock is an enigma to the market, it is an unknown quantity, and well off all the radar screens, that is of course not mine for some time, . 70%+ of the stock tightly held. has 100% investment in unknown and secretive companies, that if one does a companies house search, reveals that both are rapidly increasing turnover and profits. A small market cap of £1.5mns, not even in the tiddler league, but has caught the whole market on the hop, if the credentials are to be looked at. Dividends/buy back promissed. All in all a peach of an investment. But where are the banana skins?

Hi moosh. Yes this is not a stock to trade, the market has this sewn up with few shares in the market and a small normal market size. Be in at the bottom and accumulate it to win it and lock in profits at the top or lose the lot, keeping hold of free shares is the game here .

Might be a tad wise for the risk averse to lock in 81% recent share price rise profits. My guess is that there will be a correction, post upbeat announcement. What is for sure is that the Board, with their share purchases and their £400k unsecured loan instills confidence. But lock in some profit for now until proper momentum kicks in.

The announcement today makes reference to a share restructure. My guess is that it will involve the cancellation of the share premium account which stands thus, year on year: Share premium 1,997,696 1,995,463 1,995,463 If this is eliminated, the way is clear to pay dividends and or re-purchase it own shares. The first will eat up cash the other will enhance earnings per share, both are argued to increase shareholder value with varying degrees of success and debate as to which is better, there is only one way to find out !

As if on cue. The announcement today augers well for a strengthening of the share price medium long term. http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10666200

Led by David Barker, an entrepreneur of boundless energy, consultancy company Strontium – itself worth a meagre £1.7 million – helps to develop smaller companies with high growth potential. Last year to June, it battened down the hatches and restructured to conserve its cash, offloading one subsidiary to management in order to focus on MiAD, a fast-growing, NHS-dedicated training and education business and The Learning Eye, a research, education and communications agency. Both are generating cash, are profitable and offer the prospect of greater returns. ‘We did a complete clean out last year,’ the no-nonsense Barker tells me, adding that Strontium still carved out a small £22,692 profit as the recession roared around it, closing the year with ‘adequate’ cash of £291,000. Sensibly, acquisitions have been put on the back burner, but Barker still plans to utilise his network of contacts to source and transform small/medium sized companies and says Strontium can fill a current equity gap. ‘We sit between the angels and the turnaround specialists’, he states. An investment in Strontium is a bet on Barker, but I believe him when he says ‘we are trying to build a long-term and sustainable business, one that will still be here in 20 years’. Strontium shares, at 13p, are worth buying and locking away.

With consistent director buying pre "close period" and a tightly held issued share cap. The numbers from this early stage ipo investment co appear to offer up tremendous potential. With takeover speculation rife in the sector. tucking a few away at these levels could prove worthwhile, however the illiguidity issue could make share price swings volatile.

Directors have issued a statement recently, that they are concerned at the level of shares being bought up by Hoyer, at prices significantly below the net asset value ("nav") which is around 20p/share. The Directors have said they are exploring all options to re-align the share price which is currently significantly below nav. Results are alleged to be significantly above market expectations.
