Elite: Thanks for sharing that link, I've tucked it away for another read later. There are definitely other dimensions to the POC tax issue which ST oversimplified nor touched on. Obliged.

BRUCE: How long have you been invested in NPT so far, and roughly what time frame to stay invested ? If I'm being too nosey, ignore with my apologies.

Elite: A cracking post, couldn't agree more. I hope Simon Thompson (sorry to mention him again) is reading it! I do wonder if the POC tax will be announced as early as Dec. I would certainly like to believe NPT is better positioned than TTR,but I recall their CEO saying "...POC tax would have no impact..etc..." I'm invested in both (possibly like yourself) and would like both to do well. Though I wonder how the SP will behave after XD day in comparison to the decline in TTRs share price. Do you think NPT will have a 'wobble' when it goes XD ? *Barrington, hope you're paying attention and drawing some comfort from Elite's posting @1218hrs ! PS: Nothing yet from Saint Simon, just checked. Must've gone for a Friday lunch time pint :-)

Barrington: Investors are very jittery of late, this is making strange things happen. Like the Results on Tues 08Apr, revenue up, profit up, and dividend increased as well. What more could you want? and yet I recall the share down -5% mid morning. However, I'm confident the share will come good, so confident infact that if the SP goes down much more I will overspend and buy more. There you go, enjoy the dividend !

Plse note this article is one month ago: Buy @17.75 Target remains 28.00 " I would also point out that the accompanying sell-off in shares of Aim-traded Netplay TV (NPT: 17.75p) is a great buying opportunity in advance of the company's financial results on Tuesday 8 April. The 14-day RSI is even more oversold than that of 32Red's - showing a reading in the high teens - and the share price is now at a support level and also back to its 200-day moving average. Trading on a bargain basement 2014 PE ratio of 6.5 net of cash, Netplay TV's shares are not only a great trading buy, but offer significant upside potential to both analyst target prices and my own. Daniel Stewart has a target of 26p; N+1 Singer has a valuation range of 28p to 32p, and Sanlam has fair value at 28p. No matter which way I look at NetPlay TV, the shares are hugely undervalued on a bid offer spread of 17.5p to 17.75p. Offering 58 per cent upside to my own target price of 28p, they rate a strong buy and I can only reiterate my previous positive recommendation. DrKow: My date error,noted.Thank you.

Have any of you guys also bought into TTR ?....I couldn't choose btwn them so bought both. But feel that TTR which had its final results and final divi the other day gave NPT a bit of a kicking, however the same events for NPT come after and the pendulum may start to swing back in favour of NPT. Be terrific is Saint Simon gave it a kick up the asre. Good luck all.

I/c Article 08Apr by Harriet Russell: "NetPlay's TV gamble pays off" Investors Chronicle favourite NetPlay TV (NPT) has reported another strong set of annual results after continued heavy spending on marketing delivered a 25 per cent increase in new players. The interactive gaming company also witnessed gross bets exceeding the £1bn mark for the first time in 2013. Consistently cash-generative, the group reported a healthy bank balance at the end of the year - up £1.6m on 2012 even though it funded hefty promotional work, paid out dividends and spent £3m on Sportech's e-gaming division, Vernons.com. The key has been keeping costs low: operational expenses accounted for just 22 per cent of revenues in 2013. Big TV deals also helped increase the scale of the business, as the group signed a new three-year contract with ITV and agreed to sponsor Big Brother. Chief executive Charles Butler said he hoped such deals would be replicated this year, but admitted that online marketing would be the priority. Player retention rates will remain crucial: 45 per cent of 2013 revenues came from players who had held an account for 12 months or longer. Broker N+1 Singer expects pre-tax profits of £5.7m for 2014, giving EPS of 1.98p - up from £4.9m and 1.6p, respectively, in 2013. NETPLAY TV (NPT) ORD PRICE: 19p MARKET VALUE: £55m TOUCH: 18-19p 12-MONTH HIGH: 24p LOW: 16p DIVIDEND YIELD: 2.7% PE RATIO: 13 NET ASSET VALUE: 6p* NET CASH: £13.9m Year to 31 Dec Turnover (£m) Pre-tax profit (£m) Earnings per share (p) Dividend per share (p) 2009 18.5 -8.4 -5.5 nil 2010 19.8 -14.2 -6.7 nil 2011 20.7 0.6 0.2 nil 2012 21.8 3.1 1.2 0.375 2013 28.5 4.2 1.4 0.50 % change +31 +35 +19 +32 Ex-div: 21 May Payment: 19 Jun *Includes intangible assets of £8.4m, or 3p a share IC VIEW: A boost to the dividend signals confidence in the group's growth strategy, which has been in place since the 2010 restructuring. But the growth profile still only commands a forward PE ratio of 11 - undemanding given the year's achievements. Buy.

Morning peeps....the Simon Thompson article of 11Apr is not about NPT, it merely mentions that it's on his list of updates which will follow in next few days. So kick that one into touch. However, there is an an I/C article from 08Apr on NPT by Harriet Russell. I'll dig it out and post, next few mins.

Thanks,I thought I was the only one invested here ! True to say I only saw what I wanted to see in the RNS...didn't see what was lurking in the shadows. As it happens KEA have also announced a farm out deal, the connection is not an exact match ...but KEA SP yesterday was +40% with possibly a bit more today. I only mention this as it caught my eye and worth stopping to have a look (not invested). Back to GED, where is bottom ! Cheers,and best of luck.

16.30Hrs: SP @71.40 -9%......anyone hazard a guess as to what's causing this fall over several days.

RNS out at 0700hrs. Share price down -8% mid morning !

This mornings RNS:........."The Company continues to work with the Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Association to ensure that the industry concerns are voiced and understood by the UK Government and other stakeholders. The new announcements in the Budget regarding increased Fixed Odds Betting Terminal duties and levy collection do not impact the Company."

Just hope this kicking the gambling sector are getting is petering out. Have just topped up @56.958 ......put the breaks on,turn around and start moving up, will ya !

Me too ! Average is 64p in three tranches. Would gamble another buy at current price but don't know how much lower it can go, and it's only Monday. Certain part of my anatomy is going to start twitching if it carries on dropping.

Smokey & Tyneagle: Thanks, all clear now. I thought it was just me. Funny how the SP moved up yesterday 282-296 in any case. Bodes well. Standing by for Thu/Fri.....cheers

So where are the results, should have been released yesterday (17Mar 2014) ? Nothing on the company web site either. Anyone got any input here?

Apologies,re my last post @0717hrs, the last update was 05Mar...NOT as I stated (2 1/2 months ago).

This is Sunday 16Mar 2014. The morning of the referendum, which decides later today if the Crimea region stays in the Eukraine or is annexed and becomes part of the Russian Federation. There is a the prospect that western business' in Russia will be treated slightly differently whatever the result. This situation has been developing over the last fortnight.....the SP has moved downwards since 27Feb 2014 and shed approx -9.5% thus far. The telling time will of course be Monday morning (17Mar 2014) when the referendum results are announced, which are likely to follow the existing forgone conclusion that Crimeans will vote to be governed by the Russians. My investment is small (2K). So even if British companies in Russia get a kicking in the aftermath - I am still invested/holding. What will happen to the share price on Monday onwards? What have others done, plenty have sold? Discuss, thoughts please? PS Noted last post was 2 1/2 months ago....is there anyone there !

Just topped up 0815hrs @1,321p .......should have waited till 0900 or after. Price now 1,316p ...Whoops ! Schoolboy error. The 70p divi equates to a yield of approx 5.2% Happy for now, wouldn't like to see it go down to 1,300p though.

and what of "Suberb" LOL
