3) No dilution.
The board have historically been very reticent to dilute shareholders. There has only ever been one equity placing (in Oct 2013), and that was almost all taken up by directors and a single II. The cash position as of July was not good on the face of it, but the company is now profitable, HSBC has been fully supportive, Finncap say the company is generating cash, the auditors have signed it off as a going concern with no reference to external funding, and the latest RNS confirmed that there were no banking issues. There will therefore (IMO) be no equity dilution.
4) Greater communication.
One thing that has historically not been satisfactory is the level of communication from the board to shareholders, especially via RNS. The directors have now taken on board what I and many others have said, and are changing their policy going forward. (Here is the updated comms policy: http://paragonent.com/investor-centre/qa-forum/communication-plan I expect much greater efforts to spread the story in the near future. One example of this will be Mark Pyrah appearing on Sharepickers in the next few weeks. I'm told that he is expecting to have something specific and exciting to talk about within that timeframe.
5)Upcoming newsflow.
Near term newflow will include
-projections for 2016 and reassurance on numbers for 2015
-quarterly update for the 3rd quarter of 2015, inc contracts etc
-possible news on a major JV parternship, alluded to in the 2014 RNS Riddler posted below
-further info about the framework agreement with the major retailer mentioned in the latest RNS. ADVFN detective works speculates this may be Hamleys and that it may be *very* lucrative
I currently hold 4.8m shares (at 1.9 avg) and will at some point possibly cross the 3% barrier. I fully expect to be sitting on a substantial profit short term, and a potentially life-changing amount medium/long term.
I'll also be on the Sharepickers podcast this coming week, where I'll expand a little on these thoughts. Be sure to catch it!
