jolly yep..nice little bounce....lets hope momentum continues up though! seems some accumulation taking place!

Been a while since I checked into rm. Definately one of my fave companies...interim management statement was excellent: Trading Update RM plc ("RM"), the educational IT and resources group, is today issuing its Interim Management Statement for the period from 1 June to 17 September 2014. Trading in the third quarter of RM's 2014 financial year has progressed ahead of expectations. The repositioning of the Education Technology division continues to proceed satisfactorily with costs running below plan. Lower costs than expected have also been incurred at the end of some long term managed service contracts. Profitability of the personal computing devices business, which is being wound down, has continued ahead of plan. Within the Education Resources division, good revenue growth and margin performance in TTS has continued ahead of expectations over recent months. The Assessment and Data Services division (trading as RM Results) continues to trade in line with growth expectations. As a consequence, RM now expects a significantly more profitable second half than was anticipated at the time of the announcement of the half year results. Net cash at 31 August 2014 was £28.2m, compared with £38.3m a year earlier. This is after payment of the £14.7m special dividend in March and an additional £8m payment into the pension related escrow account in the first half. Results in February should be interesting!!!

N9dh....it means new 9 day high!!!! It's a good thing!!!

that refers to the operating profit - I still think a lot of work to do to get to net profit or even profit before tax. However, a far greater concern is the cash level - STY moved from a net cash position to a net debt position. I do hope they can continue on their path though as the only way to progress and improving the company is by winning more contracts (like today!) - I really do like the company but will see how market reacts...all the best mate and happy holidays.

N9dh....again!!!

Just checked balance sheet for ope....combined long term and short term debt is £25M? Is that right?

where does it say they are about to return to profit?

surely it would be beneficial to PIs if companies were forced to publish a balance sheet/results more than twice a year? By looking at certain figures (revenues/profits/retained earnings etc, we could easily be able to see if any promised/forecasted recovery/improvements was actually happening. (I know some companies do quarterly reports)

Look at those trades!!! Big buys and sells going through....got no idea what's happening.

n9dh!

some chunky buys amidst all the sells. probs best to wait to see where it settles as mentioned before though

SIGMA CAPITAL GROUP PLC ("Sigma" or "the Group") Liverpool City Council approves land transfer for further 56 new homes for affordable rent at Norris Green Sigma, the residential and urban regeneration specialist, is pleased to announce that Liverpool City Council has agreed the transfer of 2.95 acres of land to Regeneration Liverpool (the joint venture between Sigma subsidiary, Sigma Inpartnership, and the city council) for a further proposed 56 new affordable rental homes. The total development cost is estimated to be approximately £5.8 million. The land transfer and proposed affordable housing form part of the fifth phase in the redevelopment of Norris Green Village, a 63 acre site, located five miles from Liverpool City Centre.

Personally I don't think this is on par with rhl....rhl have much higher debt on smaller mcap (15m vs 7m mcap)...Ngr have about 2.5m debt and so differences fundamentally according to balance sheet...but very good point regarding the dividend though......most likely be further drop if they announce suspension of dividend so maybe then will be.good entry? Just have to wait and see!

Yep....just posted it on gc. Delayed recovery now....wait until 2015...or buy after drop today? Still a very good niche company

bit of momentum here I see...GM on Friday I believe

ditto! TSTL is quality company and one of AIMs finest - very good prospects and growth

interesting from the interims: "We are anticipating a strong second half of the year and the revenues of the Group will comfortably exceed those generated in the first half, resulting in full year revenues in line with last year's aggregate unaudited revenues of £5.8 million."

Revenue reduced but still safe judging by interest coverage ratio (approx 10)pbit of 2.2m and interest expense of 208k

Mentioned again in Midas tips and nice little steady rise recently from 113 level...should see what happens from here....all the best folks

Recd by Midas share tips today so should see more activity here tomorrow....all the best guys.
