for the six months to 31 March 2013 LPA Group PLC ("LPA" or "the Group"), the LED lighting and electro-mechanical system manufacturer and distributor, announces its results for the six months to 31 March 2013, and an increase in the interim dividend of 20% to 0.60p. KEY POINTS · Revenue: £8.6m (2012: £8.9m) · Profit before tax: £212,000 (2012: £312,000) · Diluted earnings per share: 1.49p (2012: 2.22p) · Interim dividend: 0.60p (2012: 0.50p) · The LED Lighting business grew sales by 20% and significantly improved margins, and has been selected as preferred bidder for the Intercity Express Programme. · The Electro-Mechanical Systems business has developed an exciting new High Speed Ethernet Backbone technology for passenger trains, which should also benefit Transport+. · Group well placed to benefit from forthcoming substantial investment in UK rail sector. · Sale of the Saffron Walden site is expected later this calendar year. Michael Rusch, Chairman, comments: "In my statement at the Annual General Meeting I advised that we expected a result for the first half which, while satisfactory, would fall short of last year, but provide a good base for achievement of expectations for the year as a whole. This has proved to be the case, but unlike last year when there was a confluence of positive effects in the second half, this year is proving very much more challenging. "Our Lighting business is exceeding expectations and our main Electro-Mechanical business is meeting expectations and has developed new technology, which will also benefit Transport+ in the future. "We have a very high level of tendering activity and we have received a number of Letters of Intent, but the hiatus in rail refranchising continues to delay new orders. "As previously stated, this year is one of transition. We have a large programme of strategic development and rationalisation to deliver, which will commence on the sale of Tudor Works site, expected this calendar year. "As a measure of our confidence for the future, the interim dividend has been increased 20% to 0.60p."

We will steadfastly pursue the development of our clean energy project business in North America and Africa. This was constrained by financial resources in the early part of 2013 but following the sale of CSEA we have started to implement our plans. The first half of 2013 continued to be tough for our CDM carbon business as we continued with the hibernation programme as swiftly as possible whilst protecting the Company and our clients. In the USA we are poised to deliver our first offset projects into the Californian scheme with a focus on securing value and hedging price risk. The Company is well positioned in Africa with local teams, six offices and 25 years' regional experience enabling it to play a major part in the clean energy revolution currently underway across the continent. In 2012 Africa had the fastest growing renewable sector in the world and rapidly rising energy demand - coupled with poor energy security and a weak grid infrastructure this creates an ideal landscape for our projects to make a difference. In North America the Company has built a strong development and operations team over the past few years to position itself as the leading biogas developer. With a high profile success in our Idaho project we have the credibility in the market with partners and financiers to now deploy the project pipeline. Our team have the skills, experience and track record to deliver success. In the absence of CDM carbon revenues the Company now is fully focused on generating sustainable cash returns from our diversified activities as quickly as possible.

this feels v good...building great base ..I like the improved margins across the businesses..seemingly decent/aligned management...and low low multiples (EV/EBIT & MCAP/EBT) ...fingers crossed

I'll take a closer look in the morning...thought the op results were excellent...and was encouraged by outlook ..(dyor all/make yr own minds up/don't rely on Jolly!!)

are scarce

The only fly in ointment for me is the pension...why assets down in the year...any ideas??.. ...don't think the overall size of obligations (less than £20m..is that right?) gives me sleepless nights but the performance of assets is a little worrying imv

26 June 2013 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in automated revenue integrity solutions for the US healthcare market, provides an update on trading for the year ending 30 June 2013. The Group continues to see increased levels of sales activity and conversion of its growing sales pipeline into revenue in our underlying small and medium sized hospital business. Progress also continues to be made with a significant number of large sales opportunities. It has not, however, been possible to sign one of these large deals in this period due mainly to corporate activity within this customer base. Management expects that the likelihood of one of these deals closing before the end of the financial year is now low. In the past, at least one of these large sales deals has contributed to revenue growth in any individual year, as was the case in 2012. As such, without the contribution from new large deals and with the final month of the financial year still to complete, the Board expects to report revenue for the year in a range of $41 million to $42 million and adjusted EBITDA in a range of $11.9 million to $12.6 million, both in line or marginally ahead of the prior year but below current market expectations. Our historical success in large hospital networks and other 'routes to market' confirms the demand for our product set in this significant sector of the market. However, these sales are more complex and involve a much longer sales cycle which is inevitably harder to predict, particularly when further complicated by current high levels of corporate activity in this segment. The investment we made during the year in our sales force has produced the expected positive results in our underlying small and medium sized business. Looking forward, the Company will be dedicating more resources on large hospital networks and other routes to market to specifically focus on delivering revenue growth from these sectors on a more predictable basis. Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware,commented, "The success we have seen in our investment in sales is not fully reflected in these results due to the large deals we have in the pipeline not closing during this year. Although we believe we have been hampered in our efforts to close these deals by corporate activity within our customer base, this trend of consolidation will not ease. We will therefore continue to build our focused team dedicated to servicing these organisations which we believe will provide us with better predictability and ultimately a greater success in closing these deals in the future. Fiscal and regulatory pressures on all US hospitals continues to drive interest in our unique suite of solutions and we are confident in the ongoing strength and relevance of our position within the US healthcare market."

Displays Business The difficulties in closing business that were encountered during the second half of 2012 have continued into the first half of 2013. At present the level of sales are in line with those achieved in 2012. A number of projects have moved forward and, while noting the ongoing protractions in closing business, we expect to see revenues from them during the second half of the year and into 2014. Land at Blackheath We are continuing with the strategy outlined in the 22 May 2013 Preliminary Results announcement for the site at Blackheath. Having secured the certificate of lawful use for the clubhouse and land we are now proceeding with an application to replace the clubhouse with a residential building of an equivalent size. Claim against the Company As also explained in the 22 May 2013 Preliminary Results announcement we are working to find a solution on the writ that the Company received in relation to the property occupied by a former Group company. The situation remains largely unchanged and we continue to work to bring this matter to a resolution as soon as possible. Outlook Having re-positioned the business with the introduction of our internally developed products and services, I am confident that the outlook for the business is positive and I expect the result for the year to exceed that achieved in 2012. With the newly developed products and services and the expansion of the business' global footprint I am confident that the medium to longer term prospects for the business are good and would expect to see increasing orders being booked in the second half of the year to support this expectation.

unfortunately not...the flow of tepid/bad news continues here ...with difficulties around management and markets, an EV of 5*EBIT (so mkt cap of £2-2.5m) would be needed to motivate investment imv ...so Jolly waiting for slow decline to 3-4p range (if it comes to pass) ..aaoo/dyor/gl
