The Board previously announced on 15 March 2010 that it was conducting a strategic review of its activities. This exercise has now been completed and the Board is pleased to announce its intention to make a return of capital to its Shareholders of up to 35p per IMAC Share. In addition, the Board is proposing certain changes to its investing policy, Articles and Investment Management Agreement which, they believe, when combined with the return of capital, are appropriate given the current economic climate and, in particular, the current state of the media market. Accordingly, the Company posted a circular (the "Circular") to its Shareholders on 17 April 2010 seeking, inter alia, approval at an EGM in relation to unanimously recommended proposals to change its Investing Policy, Articles of Association, Investment Management Agreement and return of capital to shareholders.

Conflict are the charts saying £1 or are fundamentals saying £1 if it is fundamental analysis where are the indicators, it would appear that the economic, governmental perspective and cash accounting is a tad tighter these days . If its chartism then I cannot see how £1 can be justified, My guess is that the sp is riding on a hype wave for now and a short term correction downward is possible,

This was flagged up by the Board of Directors 13th October. So it comes as no wonderment to those that bought and sold on perfect timing as indicated last year. There should be a similar trading pattern conducted in the next few trading sessions for those who want to take a medium to long term risky punt.

If it wasn't for those 2 lots of 1mn "sells" then the sp would be falling tongue in cheek irony. Let's hope no-one buys in the millins as the share price will fall. By the time all the shares are sold the share price will be oh at least £100 each. So to keep the share price rising please keep selling shares ?, well that is the current state of play. Seriously, the sp has been languishing in the fall out of sale of assets, now the funding issue has become a lot clearer and the Board will now want to forge ahead with their strategic corporate review as soon as possible otherwise they will be voted out of a job by disgruntled institutuional investors.

Ringwood Town & Country Experience acquisition completed. · Application to extend planning permission for the YES! Project submitted. · First pre-let signed for the development. · Ongoing discussions with hotel groups in respect of further pre-lettings. Malcolm Savage, Chairman of Oak, said: "The outlook for Oak is a great deal brighter than it was 12 months ago. The repositioning of the Company as a revenue generating leisure business, creating value through trading and property investment activities, augurs well for shareholders. The directors are confident that this will enable Oak to take advantage of current market opportunities as they arise, whilst continuing to retain the longer term value of its property development potential.

Echoing my sentiments 17th November, margins are squeezed as this is a competetive sector, however with the acquisitions PPR is performing well in constraint conditions and Whilst turnover and gross profit were both substantially higher than in 2008 (Gross Profit £715,297, 2008: £376,261) gross margin reduced from 26% in 2008 to 24% in 2009, reflecting the change in mix of business as well as the very competitive conditions we continue to face across all sectors. I still am of the belief a consolidation in this sector is a very strong possibilty.

Rumours are circulating that news has leaked regarding potential is to be paid out by Iraq ministry to the tune of 35mns for S I and that S I work to restart.

The board of directors of IMAC notes the weekend press report regarding the Company and confirms that the Board is currently conducting a review of the Company's strategy in respect of its potential surplus cash position and its investment policy. The Board would also like to emphasise that the Company remains fully committed to its investment portfolio, the media sector and also returning maximum value to the Company's shareholders. As part of the strategic review, the Board is working closely with its investment manager and advisers in assessing the Company's structure and investment strategy. As a truly undervalued play in its sector, some shareholder value upside is well overdue.

Announces the acquisition of Reactivlab Limited ("Reactivlab") for an initial consideration of £80,000, comprised of 4,432,133 Ordinary Shares and two deferred consideration elements which are dependent on annual sales volumes in the second and third years following completion. Reactivlab has developed a range of veterinary diagnostic tests with broad applicability in animal health and therefore complementary to the Company's existing activities. The acquisition of Reactivlab is the next step in a well defined strategy of in-house product development and acquisitions to grow the Avacta Group as a leading provider of innovative life sciences support products and services aimed at two high value markets - drug development and healthcare.

Well worth following this possible stakebuilding situation after recent trading statement.

With recent announcements in cutbacks on local Government spend leading to cutbacks in budgets and labour overheads. I would be inclined it would be good news for the likes of STBR as local Government will outsource its ongoing maintenance requirements. Social housing does not stop falling apart because Governments at all levels have lost the financial plot. My guess is that there will be consolidation in the social housing etc sector leading to economies of scale, and those remaining will be more efficient. The new Board members of STBR have flagged up fund raising and organic growth or acquisitions. Is the sp reflecting all historic dross? maybe ! With a much reduced market cap, this stock looks very interesting as a future growth story candidate.

It is anticipated that the audited results for the 17 months to 31 December 2009 will be announced at the end of March. Our preliminary unaudited estimate indicates that the pre-tax profit for the period will be in the region of £0.2m, from a turnover of approximately £7m, in line with market expectations. Post-tax results are expected to be higher, owing to a reduction in Austrian deferred tax provisions. The new financial year is seeing revenues to date slightly in excess of management's expectations. These revenues are coming from projects that we announced in the autumn, together with the continued roll-out of the deliveries of the PV project for Eurocopter. Short turnaround, unbudgeted revenue for our mobile units is a welcome development, as is an increase in our maintenance and upgrade revenue for systems delivered in prior years

I footprinted this on Regular chat earlier today, judging by the post footprints I am convinced those over there either do not read preceeding footprints or are blissfully unaware of the content. No matter here is the footprint for our education. Posts: 7,579 Off Topic Opinion: No Opinion Price: 0.46 Bristol airport.Today 08:43 The ERU contract is close to home as far as PPR sp concerned. With the energy efficient lighting sorted, could it just be a possibility PPR has won the contract to supply its range of security glass anchoring/energy saving offerings ? I would like to believe so ! http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-news/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10391765 http://www.erumaplc.com/pdf/Pentagon%20and%20Eruma%20first%20contract%20win%20July%202009.pdf

Could be a wise move to lock in a few more profits here. Results were good but not great, a reaction next session to the results could see the sp fall from grace, dividend is perfect for the institutional holders. Come back in on any weakness and run remainder stock at no cost...

As I understand it, CFC 0084 Ltd was purchased from administrators for £40k, having sold this off for £51K that is a 25% profit in 6months or so, have now details of transaction costs, but it is still a profitable transaction.

Wren Extra Care Group Plc, the AIM listed provider of retirement living, through a range of Extra Care and other services for the independent elderly, announces today that detailed planning permission has been granted on a site owned by the Company (originally part of a scheme intended for use for one of Wren's much larger Extra care Schemes) for thirteen two bed roomed apartments in Chipstead, Surrey. This planning consent would enable Wren to generate significant cash from a sale of the site alone at this stage. However, in order to optimise both profit and cash for the Company, the directors have submitted a further application on the same site for nine five-bed roomed executive houses, which if successful would materially enhance profitability and cash generation from the site and a decision on the planning and sale of the scheme will be made within approximately two months
