Exxellent performance. A couple of nice trades there traderUK - and I too am out for now. GL all

Medical devices maker Consort Medical also gets the nod from Tempus. It has some intriguing products under development, notably a smokeless cigarette, while its video laryngoscope is producing stellar sales after just a year on the market. Trading at 13.5 times earnings, the suggestion is “buy on weakness”.

Student property specialists, Unite Group, gets the thumbs up from Tempus in the Times after revealing profits from operations that were nearly double analysts' expectations on Thursday. The £14.4m figure almost gets Unite to its full year targets and the demographics of student accommodation are in its favour. Applications for places haven’t fallen by as much as had been feared despite the rise in fees. Early progress may be slow after a big surge yesterday but Unite Group is a buy.

Outlook Cadogan continues to aggressively develop and manage its portfolio of assets in Ukraine in order to fully exploit substantial industry changes taking place there. The Board believes that this strategy will allow the Company to develop into a significant player in the potential rich Ukraine energy sector.

Commenting on the results, Bertrand des Pallieres Chief Executive Officer said: "As predicted in 2011 the Company has made significant progress in its strategic alliances with both state companies and major oil companies and is developing exciting opportunities for the business. Although the results of the shale gas initiative will take time to be realised, Cadogan is able to participate in this type of venture without the usual significant levels of capital. A further initiative is being considered in the shallow Black Sea area. These activities continue to demonstrate our aim to become a key player in accelerating the transformation of the energy sector in Ukraine."

Client Payment Dispute Brady, the leading global provider of trading, risk management and settlement solutions to the energy, metals and commodities sectors, notifies that it is in a payment dispute with a new customer that signed in 2011. The customer has made payments to Brady totaling £288,000, but has not paid a number of further amounts in line with its contractual obligations. Brady has been in commercial discussions with the client over several months seeking payment of these outstanding amounts, but these discussions have now broken down. Brady believes that the software has been delivered and it has been accepted by the client. Brady is not aware of any general issues with its software, or issues specific to this project. The Company will consider all possible legal avenues for collection of the outstanding amounts. The Company has taken a prudent view by making full financial provision for the net amounts due within the interim results for the period to 30 June 2012. Including estimated legal fees incurred to date this net amount totals £720,000 and this will be treated as an exceptional item.

"The purchase of CSL positions BSG to be the pacesetter in Wi-Fi solutions for service providers." said Norm Phipps, Interim CEO of Billing Services Group. "We understand that to meet the needs of mobile carriers and Wi-Fi operators around the world we need to provide flexible solutions that enhance the user experience and encourage adoption. The addition of CSL's products allows us to meet our customers' needs in this rapidly growing market." Chris Phoenix, CEO of CSL, stated, "The combination of the CSL management team with BSG's proven executives bolster the ability for rapid growth and market leadership. We're delighted to be part of this growth story." The purchase price is £1.4 million of initial consideration payable in cash which will be utilized to acquire the issued shares of CSL and to retire certain shareholder loans and other obligations. There is also an earn out, capped at a maximum of £4.6 million, based on the achievement of certain levels of revenue. There is no earn out if CSL does not achieve £2.5 million in revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013. The maximum consideration is payable if revenues of £5,264,000 are achieved by CSL for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. Subject to the ability of certain of the shareholders of CSL to require that up to £500,000 in aggregate of the additional consideration be paid in cash, the additional consideration may be in the form of cash, BSG shares or a combination of cash and BSG shares at the Company's option. The Company does not expect the acquisition to have a material financial impact in the year ending December 31 2012, although CSL is expected to record a trading loss of approximately $550,000 for the four month period ending December 31, 2012. The Company will finance the purchase with a short term loan from its existing bank group, led by Texas Capital Bank. Under this new loan facility, the Company will borrow $3.5 million to allow for the payment of the initial consideration and to provide working capital as necessary to CSL. BSG expects to repay the loan in the first quarter of 2013. In the year ended March 31, 2012, CSL recorded aggregate external revenue of £1,104,000 and a loss of £652,000.
