u know how i respect yr opinion...so I tried my luck...bought 10k @ 4.57

look at multiples & challenging outlook...ceo buy nice but opinion only

not so shabby, though..ta, Iodan1

buyers piling in now lol

with lonr declining (comparator) and directors not buying, I suspect this is more hold than buy opinion only

(panto season) trading update soonish perhaps? finals were June last year Enjoy a Jolly flight

to value because of the large difference between ebitda and ebit.. ...really need to be an industry expert to be confident that all that r&d spend will drive substantial profit growth ..as it stands, spe seems on hefty ebit multiple (but modest rev multiple)...look at nasdaq and you can see large range of rev multiples, though..dyor, all ..even here, zmno is on lower rev & ebitda multiples (but outlook is cloudier than here perhaps lol)..check, all..don't take Jolly's post as more than playful indication by amateur all opinion only

Results The combined effect of the revenue and cost performance discussed above has resulted in Sopheon's EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) performance for 2012 rising to £1.8m, compared to £1.5m 2011. In common with other technology businesses, the board believes EBITDA provides a useful indicator of the underlying performance of our business by removing the effect on earnings of tax, capital spend and financing. EBITDA is further defined and reconciled to profit before tax in Note 4. Our calculation of EBITDA is stated after charging (i) share-based payments of £38,000 (2011: £39,000); (ii) impairment charges of acquired intangible assets of £175,000 (2011: £66,000); and (iii) exchange losses of £36,000 (2011: gains of £55,000 ) but excludes depreciation and amortization charges for the year of £1.2m (2011: £1.0m) and net finance costs of £0.3m (2011: £0.4m). Including the effect of interest, depreciation and amortization, the Group reported a profit before tax for the year of £281,000 (2011: £104,000). No tax has been provided. The profit per ordinary share was 0.19p (2011: 0.07p).

"We are also very pleased to report further improvement to profit after tax, which rose to £0.3m (2011: £0.1m)." so effective EV of £10-12m (after converting culs) means trading on hefty 30-40 multiple
