ELJ I think you are partly right but partly wrong in your analysis. There are circa 190 mil shares in issue. The 100 mil is the average number of shares in issue last year but since they they have floated and acquired other businesses for shares this has increased by 90mil. This is anything to do with the non controlling interests. The Dividend is just for XLM equity holders. I.e. 5.25m which will be shared equally between those shares I.e. 2.768 cents or 1.65p each, a yield of 3% on current SP. The payment to non controlling interests are not paid out of this. These non controlling interest are minority shareholders in companies owned and controlled by XLM not XLM itself. This is the normal way of accounting for business combinations. This is not to say these payments to non controlling interests should be ignored as they are real and part of the picture. The key numbers are the profit after everything attributable to us is $8.8m and the dividend is $5.25m. Happy to clarify further if I've lost anyone.

Rob, thanks for post. I understand where you are coming from but suggest we move this discussion to the "under the radar" BB which is in General Chat, so we don't annoy people looking for chat on telit. I will respond to your post there this evening so you can find it. Oli

Rob, looks like your timing was excellent and a few others followed your lead. I will have a look CRV,. Many thanks.

Hi Rob, I'm not invested in any of those companies but will take a look. I've got quite a few shares as I never put more than 5% of my cash in any one company. I find this really helps the blood pressure especially if something tanks which happens to us all at some stage. One company I have invested in recently which gets even less attention than telit is JQW which floated recently. It's a Chinese B2B online market place. Have a look at their BB board for details or better still download their Admission Document for some proper research. I also like GBO which I think is doing a lot of good things. Looking forward to the next RNS from TCM.

Ali, have you tried Kill or Fill?

Hi Rob, The end of a tough week especially for QPP holders. Telit holding pretty well considering. I guess consistent growth in turnover and profits, together with excellent cash generation all underpinned by great technology and management all help!

I can't believe the lack of interest in this stock on the BBs. The business is fantastic and every time the share price goes up I just look at the history of consistent growth and decide to hold. At some point this will come on the radar and really take off.

Are you sure that looks like the same as last year and it was growing quickly.

Any thoughts on what earnings will be for the year just finished?
