I held AU. but jumped at 966p. The problem I saw at the time was a PE of over 100 and no yield. It projections are good but still has a PE of 70 and proected PE of 45.
No yield at present, but projected earnings are good and according to RNS had numerous decent contracts under its belt.
The problem is the market being very jumpy and those remaining in it are looking for lower PE, positive yield, proven history of surviving downturn in economy.
Also some may have eperienced CARTERs partial demise and prefer to take profits.
The TA is not very promising at the moment.
This is opinion DYOH.

Autonomy havee said that they expect to be a benefactor of the banking crisis "fiasco"!
It's a good job somebody is! Certainly their share price has held up well,and there have been some lucrative contract wins recently.
I'm almost succeeding to tempt myself back in.

there may well be a sizeable bounce on monday, though i am not predicting that until more known from G7 over w/e, but if so, you will need to be very nimble to get in at around current price (730) ..... if peeps are NOT encouraged by G7, then 700 is on the cards, or of course well below that if panic persists

It does look cheap, but this company keeps on reminding me of being severely burnt by Carter and Carter. I still has a PE of about 50 and I wonder how many of the future contracts will be torn up in the ongoing economy.
No dividends.

re my above post.
my stop loss is in place, so i shall go quietly.
the loss will reduce my trading cash balance so if it's hit i shall have to make up the deficit by taking a profit on one of my other trades.
unfortunate but winning trades have to pay for the losers.
and yes i do believe in letting my profits run and cutting my losers.
i also believe in not allowing my cash balance in my account to reduce.
my current winners , as yet unbanked , may offset my banked loss as of today, but what of tomorrow?
what if? all those paper profits paying for real losses don't come home to roost?
no thank you, loss today = take profit today to pay for it.
credit and promises of what will or might be are of no value to me.
a loss however great or small has to be paid for. no credit for me thank you.

Goldman Sachs has welcomed Autonomy's acquisition of US content management software firm, Interwoven, saying its gives Autonomy significant cross selling opportunities.
"Autonomy has a good track record of acquiring and integrating companies with niche technologies and leveraging the combined customer base to generate incremental growth," Goldman Sachs (GS) said.
Stockbroker Teathers is also supportive of the move, saying it shows the search software firm's intent to be the world leader in the content management market.
"Quite aside from the financial benefits of the acquisition the acquisition of Interwoven takes Autonomy into the market for content management proper and is a logical place to take the IDOL platform and one where many players already OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturers] Autonomy's software."

Record Q1 expected from Autonomy
MoneyAM
Autonomy Corporation, the infrastructure software specialist expects to report record first quarter results for 2009 with revenues ahead of estimates, at between $128m and $130m.
Chief executive Dr Mike Lynch said: "We are very pleased with these results, which we've achieved in a quarter during which we announced and completed a major acquisition and seen significant economic uncertainty around the globe.
"The Autonomy business outperformed estimates and the Interwoven business operated for the stub period as expected."
Can do little wrong. I predict SP 2000 by end 2010 if Autonomy can do this well now, where can it go after the recession.

AU. Autonomy Corporation PLC
We were talking of quality stocks earlier and in the Tech World we in Britain probably have 2 world class techs this and sage and maybee ARM.
AU. chart is looking stonkingly good goin from high to high and the ADX shows the upward trend channel is intact and pointing at much further gains.
![<img src=]()

Broker backing too only yesterday and just look at this target......
Goldman Sachs has a neutral for ARM Holdings, raising target to 140p from 110p, a buy for Autonomy, raising target to 22 from 17
Well worth doing a bit of research on this one imho, much further to go I reckon even if present fundies are topy and will be easily broken.

Lifted from across the road...
From the Investors Intelligence technical trading site today
Chart of the day: Buy Autonomy 19/02/2009
Tech stock Autonomy put in an excellent reassertion of the underlying uptrend over yesterday's session, bouncing off the rising 50-day moving average to post a strong upward dynamic. The stock looks set to take out the highs around 1500p in due course.
Tactically, we would enter this trade with an initial "exploratory" long, perhaps half-sized. This position could then be added to once we see the confirmation of a break to new highs, ideally with a new relative high to boot (our one reservation about this trade is the slight loss of relative momentum).
We open a long position in the model portfolio accordingly.

IMANAGE UNIVERSAL SEARCH
Autonomy Becomes the Largest IT Supplier for Magic Circle Law Firm
Cambridge, UK and SAN FRANCISCO - May 20, 2009 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, a leading international law firm with over 2,700 lawyers in 27 key business centres around the world, has chosen Autonomy iManage Universal Search (IUS) for all of its content and knowledge management requirements worldwide. Autonomy's selection means that the FTSE 100 company is now Freshfields' largest IT supplier. Built upon Autonomy's core infrastructure software, the Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), IUS will provide over 6,000 users with instant access to sought-after documents, and alerts to conceptually similar content and experts in the community, while guiding professionals to relevant case matter automatically and in real-time. iManage Universal Search was selected after a competitive procurement owing to IDOL's unique conceptual capabilities, scalability, and language and format independence.
'As a leading international law firm, we are always on the lookout for technology that boosts efficiency and effectiveness, helps to cut costs, delivers unique solutions to our lawyers and improves service to our clients,' said Paul Domnick, CIO of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. 'Autonomy is becoming the standard and the leading innovator in the industry thanks to the powerful combination of Interwoven's deep domain expertise and Autonomy's robust, meaning-based platform.'
Autonomy iManage, the undisputed leader in legal document management with 75% of the Global 100 and 61% of the top 100 UK law firms as customers, provides a common platform for law firms and their corporate legal departments. iManage Universal Search 7.0, now based on IDOL, is a pan-enterprise search solution tailored for law firms, delivering an order of magnitude increase in performance over the previous version. IDOL's unique meaning-based technology can form an understanding from data across languages, data types and jurisdictions and identify patterns between disparate pieces of information thus ensuring comprehensiveness of the results for lawyers and their clients.
'In the advent of this new era of increased litigation and a meteoric rise in unstructured information, law firms need a robust technological platform that enables them to bring meaning to all data, regardless of what it is or where it resides. Thanks to the power of IDOL, Autonomy is the only company that can help law firms meet these demands,' said Anthony Bettencourt, CEO of Autonomy Interwoven.

LLU chooses Autonomy management solution
Business Financial Newswire
Loma Linda University Health Sciences Center has selected Autonomy's business process management solution to improve its operational efficiency.
The Autonomy solution, which will include electronic forms, electronic signatures and workflows, will allow LLU to transform many of its traditional paper-based processing of physician timesheets, expense reports, student-focused processes and patient-focused processes into an automated, electronic information processing solution.
Traditional paper-based processes are often complex in nature, involving legally binding documentation, multiple layers of approval, signatures and a significant amount of paperwork.
By automating many of its paper based processes, LLU aims to significantly reduce the processing time and provide the ability to track the status of each process with the click of a mouse.

CORRECT: Autonomy 2Q Net Profit Up 67%; Cautiously Optimistic
("=Autonomy 2Q Net Profit Up 50%; Remains Cautiously Optimistic," timed at 0618 GMT, misstated the percentage change in net profit in the headline. The correct version follows:)
By Kathy Sandler
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
LONDON -(Dow Jones)- U.K. information-retrieval software company Autonomy Corp. PLC (AU.LN) Thursday said second quarter net profit rose 67% to $50.9 million and it remains cautiously optimistic despite uncertain markets.
Autonomy, which makes software that helps companies keep track of their growing mountain of e-mails, phone calls and documents, has seen demand surge as the regulatory burden on companies has grown over the past few years, most notably in the U.S.
The Cambridge, England-based company reported revenue in the three months to end-June up 55% to $195 million and earnings per share adjusted for non-cash items, restructuring costs and share of losses from associates up 38% to $0.26, in line with a pre-announcement issued by the company two weeks ago.
The company said the integration of Interwoven, the content management software company bought earlier this year that has increased Autonomy's exposure to the lucrative U.S. legal search market, was essentially complete and Interwoven's support and maintenance renewal rates had resumed strong levels after disruption following the acquisition.
"Despite the continued uncertainty in the markets, we remain cautiously optimistic," said Chief Executive Mike Lynch.
He said the company is seeing the second of the three waves of regulatory technology investment.

UPDATE: Autonomy 2Q Net Profit Up 67%; Cautiously Optimistic
(Adds detail, analysts' comments.)
By Kathy Sandler
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
LONDON -(Dow Jones)- U.K. information-retrieval software company Autonomy Corp. PLC (AU.LN) Thursday said second quarter net profit rose 67% to $50.9 million and it remains cautiously optimistic despite uncertain markets.
Autonomy, which makes software that helps companies keep track of their growing mountain of e-mails, phone calls and documents, has seen demand surge as the regulatory burden on companies has grown over the past few years, most notably in the U.S.
The Cambridge, England-based company reported revenue in the three months to end-June up 55% to $195 million and earnings per share adjusted for non-cash items, restructuring costs and share of losses from associates up 38% to $0.26, in line with a pre-announcement issued by the company two weeks ago.
Revenues were driven by strong organic growth as well as a full quarter of sales from Interwoven, the content management software company it bought earlier this year.
Autonomy said the integration of Interwoven, which has increased the company's exposure to the lucrative U.S. legal search market, was essentially complete and Interwoven's support and maintenance renewal rates had resumed strong levels after disruption following the acquisition.
That disruption had hurt deferred revenue in the first quarter, which is revenue that the company has already received but hasn't yet booked because the work hasn't been carried out.
But with the integration now complete, deferred revenue rose to $170 million in the second quarter, from $163.7 million in the previous quarter and up from $104.8 million last year.
The company generated free cash flow of $65.4 million in the second quarter, more than double the $35.5 million in the same period last year.
Strong cash generation and a $190 million cash balance in the quarter enabled the company to pay back a Barclays loan of $37.5 million early, and Autonomy ended the quarter with cash of $152.5 million.
The company said it had increased its adjusted operating margins in the quarter to 47% from 40% in the same period last year.
UBS said in a note to clients Thursday that the margin increase points to a potential upgrade of full year earnings forecasts.
Panmue Gordon analyst George O'Connor also flagged the improved operational leverage, which has allowed the company to rein in sales and marketing spend and reduce costs.
"Despite the continued uncertainty in the markets, we remain cautiously optimistic," said Chief Executive Mike Lynch.
He said the company is seeing the second of the three waves of regulatory technology investment.

"While some will be worried by the seeming lack of recovery of Q1's $15m IWOV {Interwoven] maintenance 'non-renewals' we note the loss of c.$10m of discontinued IWOV Services needs to be considered. EBITDA cash conversion of 66% (Q208: 67%) reflects the usual seasonal outflow on insurance/rental prepayments and IWOV's strong pre-acquisition cash collection," the Swiss bank states.
UBS remains bullish on the stock and has left its 12 month price target unchanged at 1,475p.
Panmure Gordon, meanwhile, suggests that Autonomy is still "firing on all cylinders", with the second quarter figures "a couple of notches better than we expected".
It has raised its full-year 2009 earning per share forecasts from $1.028 to $1.043 and upped its price target from 1927.5p to 1950p.
Cancaccord has maintained its EPS forecast at $1.08, which it notes is ahead of guidance ($1.03) and market consensus ($1.01).
"Autonomy's strong performance demonstrates that it offers resilient growth, since its key growth drivers (regulatory and acquisition) are unrelated to the macroeconomic environment," the broker said.
"However, without significant financial outperformance or higher-than-expected acquisition benefits, we believe some investors may be tempted to take profits," the broker added

"While some will be worried by the seeming lack of recovery of Q1's $15m IWOV {Interwoven] maintenance 'non-renewals' we note the loss of c.$10m of discontinued IWOV Services needs to be considered. EBITDA cash conversion of 66% (Q208: 67%) reflects the usual seasonal outflow on insurance/rental prepayments and IWOV's strong pre-acquisition cash collection," the Swiss bank states.
UBS remains bullish on the stock and has left its 12 month price target unchanged at 1,475p.
Panmure Gordon, meanwhile, suggests that Autonomy is still "firing on all cylinders", with the second quarter figures "a couple of notches better than we expected".
It has raised its full-year 2009 earning per share forecasts from $1.028 to $1.043 and upped its price target from 1927.5p to 1950p.
Cancaccord has maintained its EPS forecast at $1.08, which it notes is ahead of guidance ($1.03) and market consensus ($1.01).
"Autonomy's strong performance demonstrates that it offers resilient growth, since its key growth drivers (regulatory and acquisition) are unrelated to the macroeconomic environment," the broker said.
"However, without significant financial outperformance or higher-than-expected acquisition benefits, we believe some investors may be tempted to take profits," the broker added

Mike Lynch, chief executive, remained cautiously optimistic for the full year but said third-quarter numbers would be lower than analysts' forecasts because of a one-off marketing cost.
I like a CEO that plays things down when his Company is gaining top flight contracts all the time. IMHO Autonomy software will not only be an asset to world Companies but they will soon have to have this type of software by law.

from this is money.co.uk refrence coal,AU>,CBRY rumours His advisers, led by US broking giant Goldman Sachs, are said to be currently working on various mouth-watering corporate deals, at least one of which is expected to see the light of the day well before the end of the year.
Hot gossip suggests Mittal's number one takeover priority is Coal Of Africa, 4p better at a year's high of 1191/4p, and a cash offer of 250p a share is in the pipeline.
He already owns 16.3% of the mining group, via his giant steel company Arcelor Mittal, where he is chairman and chief executive.
Speculation has been rife since he bought the stake in April that it would be only be a matter of time before he swallowed the rest of the group's equity. Its loose change for him.
Coal of Africa owns coal mines at Mooiplaats, Vele and Makhado in South Africa. Coal production is increasing and should it reach maximum levels, the shares would be worth treble their current value.
Morgan Stanley recently moved the stock to overweight, saying it had an 'attractive risk reward profile'. Its target price is 150p but that rises to 380p on a bull case scenario.
Disappointing existing US home sales, which fell 2.7% to 5.1m in August, the first monthly drop in five months, brought the Footsie off the boil.
As Wall Street dropped 74 points on the data, London followed suit. The blue-chip index lost a 26 point gain to finish 60.10 points lower at 5,079.27, while the FTSE 250 shed 123.99 points to 9,093.02.
Punters chased software giant Autonomy up to 1650p as rumours of a 28 a share bid from Microsoft did the rounds. Fund managers soon dismissed that idea and said the rise had more to
do with a bullish note from Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. The broker lifted its target price to 19 from 1660p. Late profit-taking left the close at 1610p, but still 47p up on balance.
Awaiting a knock-out 9-a-share bid from Kraft, Cadbury Schweppes rose 51/2p to 798.94p.
Hot gossip suggests Mittal's number one takeover priority is Coal Of Africa, 4p better at a year's high of 1191/4p, and a cash offer of 250p a share is in the pipeline.
He already owns 16.3% of the mining group, via his giant steel company Arcelor Mittal, where he is chairman and chief executive.
Speculation has been rife since he bought the stake in April that it would be only be a matter of time before he swallowed the rest of the group's equity. Its loose change for him.

The market has punished the share price of data search software king Autonomy despite the company producing third quarter results in line with raised guidance.
The crux is that the figures published were towards the lower end of the guidance parameters, while a slide in gross margin from 92% to 86% was more severe than anticipated, according to Panmure Gordon.

Broker note from Astaire Securities 05.01.10:
"Based on a detailed analysis of organic growth rates, we believe that Autonomy has probably missed its 2009 revenue target and we are downgrading our forecasts for 2009 and 2010 by around 5%. Autonomy failed to announce any very large deals in its final quarter. We believe that Autonomy needed to sign at least one deal >$20m in order for it to meet Q4 revenue expectations of around $223m. Even with such a deal, our analysis suggests that the growth rates required to achieve this target were probably unachievable.Today we are re-iterating our Sell recommendation and suggesting that now would be a good time to short the stock. With at least a 50% chance of a revenue miss and failing this, the certainty of very poor cash conversion, we see almost no scope for short term upside and a high probability of downside. The one risk we can see to this call would be the announcement of a large acquisition. Although we are anticipating a deal at some point in Q1 2010, we think it extremely unlikely in January. We also note that although Autonomys previous acquisitions have significantly boosted EPS, another deal at this stage in the companys development could equally well be taken negatively by the market."

Autonomy reports record full-year gross profits and margins
Business Financial Newswire
Autonomy Corporation reported record full year revenues of $740m, up 47% from 2008, including strong organic growth of 16%. Gross profits at $652m for the year to end-December 2009, were up 42% from 2008, with gross margins at 88%.
The commerical software specialist reported record full year operating margins at 44%, compared to 41% in 2008.
Record full year profit before tax was at $323m, up 55% from 2008, while full year fully diluted EPS was $0.97 (versus consensus of $0.97), up 42% from 2008. Fully diluted EPS (IFRS) of $0.80 up 31% from 2008.
Full year and Q4 2009 revenue, profits and cash conversion were in line with analyst consensus.
Dr. Mike Lynch, Group CEO, said: "We are pleased to announce another excellent set of results for Autonomy. Over the last five years, we have seen a five year adjusted EPS CAGR of 73% and Autonomy has grown to become one of Europe's largest software companies. Looking back on 2009, despite an economic environment that can be described at best as difficult, and an unhelpful FX headwind, Autonomy produced outstanding results with adjusted profit from operations growing by 59% at a time when most of our software peers have seen small or negative growth. We delivered this strong growth on top of an exceptionally strong performance in Q4 2008."

does your above answer agree that it is actually 300 per point as i suggested and which agreed with your 18000 profit figure over there? i think and reckon i got it right.
it would seem that s also got it right in his above post also, for it seems you added yet another short of 100 as per you post 249. add this to your 300 shorts from the blnx thread and we get the 400 short mentioned by s. hmmm! i am confused also so can you please explain? preferably before tomorrows opening. thanks and good luck

i trust you have now made the necessary arrangements to open accounts with more than one broker/ spread better. ready for the need next time. it pays to be prepared.
we never know when it may be needed. just one broker and their internet service down AND so busy that they cant answer their phone timely, or dont want to, then what do we do?
be prepared, have more than one option available. just my opinion as always. it makes sense. can i remove my dummy now? am i grown up? am i prepared?

jkd - can one not deal s/b direct on-line as one can with CFD's or even straight share dealing?
also, correct me if i'm wrong, but i would have thought that even s/b dealing is open-ended for losses, so surely any broker offering same would want/need to make very detailed investigations of the wannabe-punter's assets etc, as well as the tiresome but usual money-laundering checks .... that being so, i have strong doubts that the BB's pet mountebank has 4 such accounts

quite so, but if we have nothing to hide then nothing to fear and accounts can be easily opened, and why not? they are subject to normal actual losses of all open positions verses deposits lodged. as long as the deposit lodged covers losses then no problem. and yes very detailed investigations are required, that all takes time,but it is time well spent. who says i must only have one broker? what if? on line is down etc. etc.?
what then? if i have no alternative in place.

jkd - Why are you even bothering, the guys a plank, intent on winding up every one and his dog. If he was a serious trader he would know the min and max (spread betting) 's per point of this stock that his particular spread betting company allows. Ask yourself this question, do you know anybody who actually states on any of the threads on this site 5, 10 per point let alone 1000 per point? Do you not think it would be 'Crass' to even contemplate?

i don't believe you, not least because your past record gives good cause.
we all believe your initial story and that you had a single s/b at 100 tics (not 3/400 placed via several companies as at least intimated)
however, your subsequent story about your new long being "cancelled" at 1654 is bollocks - stopped out at a loss through lack of margin maybe, but that is far from the same
that said, yes i do think AU fall now heavily o'done and bought a few myself at 1625

Autonomy revenue up
StockMarketWire.com
Commercial software house Autonomy announced record revenue of $415.3m for the half-year to end-June, in line with analyst expectations of $412m-417m).
H1 revenue was up 28% from the prior year period, with overall organic growth at 14%.
Six months organic IDOL revenue growth was 24%; organic growth, excluding professional services, was 18%.
Gross profits were $363.4m, up 26% from H1 2009; gross margins at 88%.
The group enjoyed record H1 profit before tax of $182.7m, up 24% from H1 2009.
H1 fully diluted EPS was $0.53 (within the range of analyst expectations of $0.52-$0.55), up 22% from H1 2009 (IFRS: $0.42, up 17%).
Cash conversion for the second quarter was 98% (Q2 2009: 66%), and for the first half of 2010 was 93% (H1 2009: 72%).
Dr Mike Lynch, Group CEO, said: "The first half of 2010 continued to show a gentle recovery with discretionary spend continuing. In considering the macro environment our customers are positive but still cautious. We saw continued positive moves in the 'Power' and OEM parts of our business. The 'Promote' area is starting to convert its great promise into sales as a lot of pre-recovery work is being undertaken by our customers and the 'Protect' part of the business has seen a number of high profile corporate and regulatory events underpin its continuing strength. The ability to understand the meaning of information and breadth of capabilities IDOL offers on a single platform meant that our competitive position remains strong and was recently recognised by independent analysts at IDC, who acknowledged Autonomy to be the world's leading provider of archiving, search and discovery solutions."
"The OEM business continues to be our fastest growing revenue stream, and we see a powerful networking effect underway as IDOL further penetrates the entire spectrum of enterprise software applications. The shift to new delivery models is ongoing and Autonomy continues to operate the world's largest private cloud computing platform, with SaaS contributing over a quarter of Group revenues in the first half of 2010. We also continue to see a growing interest in our "Promote" solutions and we now see multi-million dollar deals in the pipeline for Meaning Based Marketing, where we believe there is pent-up demand. The strategic success of the recent MicroLink acquisition has already become apparent with a multi-million dollar contract signed directly with a US federal customer during the second quarter. Our government business, which is mainly focused on national security, has proved robust in the current climate of curtailed government expenditure and we do not expect to see any deterioration in this area."
Lynch concluded: "Given the continuation in the improvement of the macro environment, we took advantage of opportunities to improve the brand reach of the company by entering into new marketing arrangements. The robust demand backdrop and solid execution led to record revenues and EPS in the second quarter and first half of 2010, with strong cash generation. As in previous years, we expect to see the usual seasonality and unpredictability of the split of revenues between Q3 and Q4. Overall we face the rest of the year with a strong balance sheet, and in light of the continuing macro recovery, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong growth for the full year."

The robust demand backdrop and solid execution led to record revenues and EPS in the second quarter and first half of 2010, with strong cash generation. As in previous years, we expect to see the usual seasonality and unpredictability of the split of revenues between Q3 and Q4. Overall we face the rest of the year with a strong balance sheet, and in light of the continuing macro recovery, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong growth for the full year."

IMHO 1250 is a fair value market price for this stock but maybe only go to this if the Doctor sells.

wentworth - not now richard caring's spent about 7m on revamping/rejuvenating the west .... 8th and 18th greens will need a further tweak this autumn/winter for 2011, but it is now a very serious test and the greens are 150% better, though they need another year or two before they can keep them cut tight
east is the shortest cost, but much under-rated and an excellent test for most amateurs, especially off the back tees.
south (edinburgh) - until the revamp of the west, we all reckon this was the sternest test ..... arguably too many doglegs, but a damn good course

UPDATE: Autonomy's Earnings Miss Views Sending Shares Lower
Today : Thursday 22 July 2010
U.K. software group Autonomy Corp. PLC (AU.LN) slightly missed expectations for second-quarter earnings Thursday and posted disappointing margins, sending its shares sharply lower on the London Stock Exchange.
But Chief Executive Mike Lynch was nonetheless upbeat, noting the first half of 2010 "continued to show a gentle recovery with discretionary spend continuing."
"Overall, we face the rest of the year with a strong balance sheet and, in light of the continuing macro recovery, we are confident in our ability to continue to deliver strong growth for the full year," he said.
Lynch also said the company is on track to announce a deal by the Autumn, but declined to elaborate.
Autonomy's fully diluted earnings per share excluding exceptional items--the key figure tracked by U.K. analysts--rose 7% to 28 cents in the second quarter ended June 30 from a year earlier, compared with expectations of 29 cents. The miss was due to a higher interest charge from convertible loan notes issued in March and more shares in issue, which was slightly mitigated by a lower tax charge.
Second-quarter net profit rose 2.9% to $52.4 million from $50.9 million a year ago on a 13% rise in revenue to $221.1 million, broadly in line with expectations.
Operating margins fell to 43.6% in the second quarter from a year ago, hit by higher marketing spend and hardware costs. That compares with a 44.4% margin in the first quarter of 2010 and 47.2% in the second quarter of 2009.
As a result of a mix of lower gross margin, higher interest charges and lower tax, Panmure Gordon analyst George O'Connor will trim his 2010 EPS and revenue forecasts and cut his target price on the stock, although he maintains a hold rating.

Autonomy Warns On Annual Revenue; Stock Tumbles
Today : Wednesday 6 October 2010
U.K. software group Autonomy PLC (AU.LN) warned Wednesday that it will miss market expectations for its full-year revenue by around 3% as customers remain concerned about the difficult economic environment, triggering a share price slump.
Despite a strong third quarter, customers are "still showing volatility around their view of the current macro economic situation," the company said.
"This necessitates a prudent approach to forecasting, and thus we expect to review our internal model for the full year with a revenue reduction of around 3% on current consensus and commensurate changes to other parameters," Autonomy said in a surprise trading update.
As a result, it now expects for 2010 revenue growth of 17%, organic revenue growth of around 12% and profit before tax to be up approximately 20%.
Autonomy, which makes software that helps companies and governments keep track of their e-mails, phone calls and documents, has an extensive client list including Boeing Co. (BA), Deutsche Bank AG (DB), Citigroup Inc. (C), Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LLOY.LN) and Barclays PLC (BARC.LN).

Accordingly, such valid acceptances having been received, as set out in paragraph 14 of Part II of the Offer Document, HP Vision confirms that it intends to commence the exercise of its rights pursuant to Sections 974 to 991 of the Companies Act to acquire compulsorily, on the same terms as the Offer, the remaining Autonomy Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted. HP Vision intends to commence posting of formal notices to relevant Autonomy shareholders under section 979 shortly. The compulsory acquisition procedure is currently expected to conclude by December 2011.
Procedure for acceptance of the Offer
The Offer will remain open until further notice and at least 14 days' notice will be given of the closing of the Offer.
Autonomy Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer are urged to do so immediately.
To accept the Offer in respect of Autonomy Shares held in certificated form, Autonomy Shareholders must complete, sign and return the Form of Acceptance, together with their share certificate(s) or other relevant document(s) of title, in accordance with the instructions contained therein and set out in the Offer Document.
To accept the Offer in respect of Autonomy Shares held in uncertificated form (that is, in CREST), Autonomy Shareholders must follow the procedure for electronic acceptance through CREST in accordance with the instructions set out in the Offer Document. If Autonomy Shareholders hold their Autonomy Shares as a CREST sponsored member, they should refer to their CREST sponsor as only their CREST sponsor will be able to send the necessary TTE Instruction to Euroclear.
Delisting and re-registration as a private company
Following the Offer being declared wholly unconditional on 3 October 2011, and sufficient acceptances under the Offer having been received, Autonomy confirms that the 20 Business Days' notice period for the cancellation of the listing of Autonomy Shares on the Official List and the trading on the London Stock Exchange for listed securities has commenced. It is anticipated that cancellation of listing and trading will take effect on or shortly after 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 14 November 2011. It is also proposed that, after Autonomy Shares are delisted, Autonomy will be re-registered as a private company under the relevant provisions of the Companies Act.
Autonomy Shareholders should note that cancellation of the listing is likely to significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Autonomy Shares in respect of which the Offer has not been accepted. As such, Autonomy Shareholders who have not yet accepted the Offer are urged to do so immediately.

Hewlett-Packard to cut 27,000 jobs by the end of 2014
The company said the cuts - about 8% of its workforce - will reduce costs by up to $3.5bn (£2.2bn) a year.
HP said in a statement that the money would be reinvested into the company.
The move was part of a "productivity initiative designed to simplify business processes" and comes as rival products such as the iPad tablet computer eat into HP's sales.
As part of the changes, the head of HP's Autonomy division, Mike Lynch, is being replaced by Bill Veghte, HP's chief strategy officer. Mr Lynch will leave after what HP called a "transition period".

Autonomy misled HP about finances, Hewlett Packard says
From the above article :-
Mike Lynch told BBC News that the HP allegations were just a way of distracting attention from poor results.
"It's managed the company very badly," he said. "It lost around half the staff before I left and the whole of the management team, and the value of the company has now fallen and they've been forced to write it off."
"Today is the day they're announcing the worst results in the 70 year history of the business and I think there's a little bit of distraction going on here."

HP stunned Wall Street with the allegations about its British software unit and took an $8.8 billion writedown, the latest in a string of reversals for the storied company.

Insight - How a desperate HP suspended disbelief for Autonomy deal
SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK/LONDON | Fri Nov 30, 2012 6:19am GMT
(Reuters) - For Leo Apotheker, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO, a July 2011 meeting with Autonomy founder Mike Lynch at a chic seaside resort in France was pivotal to his effort to remake a storied technology giant.
In the nine months since taking the helm at HP, Apotheker had tried furiously to find a way to move the lumbering company away from its low-margin computer hardware business and into the lucrative corporate software and services arena. Apotheker was looking for a big, transformative acquisition, two people familiar with the situation said, and after overtures to several companies went nowhere, he set his sights on Autonomy.

How could Hewlett-Packard find a $5 billion-plus hole in an $11.1 billion deal? The U.S. tech giant claims to have uncovered all kinds of accounting nasties at Autonomy, the British software outfit it bought last year. But HP won’t say quite how the allegations – strongly denied by Autonomy’s ex-boss Mike Lynch – could produce such a colossal writedown. Breakingviews tries a spot of reverse-engineering to see how it could be possible.

Autonomy under SFO investigation
6:20AM GMT 12 Mar 2013
The disclosure last night from HP comes as the $11.1bn (£7.5bn) purchase of Autonomy looks set to dominate the PC maker's annual shareholder meeting in California later this week.
In a filing with US financial regulators, HP said the SFO informed it on February 6 that it had opened an investigation into HP's allegations that it was forced to overpay for Autonomy in August 2011.
Designed to cut HP's dependence on a shrinking PC market, the acquisition of Autonomy cost former chief executive Leo Apotheker his job and has angered shareholders. HP wrote down the value of Autonomy, which was founded by UK entrepreneur Mike Lynch, by $8.8bn late last year. Autonomy's former management denies any improper accounting.

Mike Lynch attacks Hewlett-Packard for a lack of innovation
Autonomy founder Mike Lynch has attacked Hewlett-Packard for its lack of innovation as he defended the controversial £7.1bn sale of the company he founded.

Mr Lynch said Autonomy’s bust-up with Hewlett-Packard over alleged accounting irregularities had not damaged the Cambridge-based company’s reputation.
Instead, he insisted Autonomy’s legacy would “prove itself over time” while Hewlett-Packard was suffering an exodus of engineering talent.
“Innovation is the very reason the acquisition was done,” said Mr Lynch, describing the 2011 deal. “Autonomy was able to innovate in a way that Hewlett-Packard was not.”
Last November, Hewlett-Packard announced it was writing down the value of Autonomy by $8.8bn (£5.9bn), having bought it for £7.1bn the previous summer.
Meg Whitman, the chief executive who took over as the acquisition was being completed, blamed a wilful effort to inflate the company’s figures, which Hewlet-Packard said “severely impacted HP management’s ability to fairly value Autonomy at the time of the deal”.

Estranged hedge fund couple reunite for courtroom showdown
05 Mar 2013
Mr Lynch, who refused to comment on whether he was considering legal action against Hewlett-Packard, said he was still in the dark about what the allegations were about.
“We know Hewlett-Packard is disputing the value it paid for [Autonomy] over the [accounting irregularities]. But we haven’t seen any of the allegations so it is very difficult.
“We would love to see them, we would love [Hewlett-Packard] to put the allegations in the public domain so that we could pick over them.”
Earlier this week, Hewlett-Packard revealed, in a regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, that Autonomy was under investigation By US regulators and the Serious Fraud Office.
However, Mr Lynch, who was speaking at Global Grand Challenges Summit in London, joked that while he believed in innovation in almost every part of life, “innovation in accounting” was not something he advocated.
Mr Lynch said the accusations against his former company did not change Autonomy’s reputation for being a technology trailblazer.
“Hewlett-Packard was [once] a company built on innovation, with Mr Hewlett and Mr Packard. They produced an amazing company. But what we have seen in recent years is that they’ve been challenged in doing that, especially in the areas like software. Also, they haven’t been able to hold on to talent, which is one thing they haven’t talked about. When they have done acquisitions like Fortify and Autonomy people have left and that’s difficult.”
Meanwhile, Mr Lynch said, people who had left Autonomy since the acquisition were all “off doing amazing things”.
“Autonomy started as a company with two people and it grew to become a FTSE100 firm. The legacy is an ongoing thing and it will prove itself over time.”
A spokesman for HP said: "Mr Lynch has made these criticisms repeatedly since accounting improprieties at Autonomy under his leadership were reported, and Mr Lynch was dismissed from HP for performance-based reasons. Innovation is at the heart of HP, evidenced by the Company’s leadership in almost every market it serves."

HP accused Autonomy last November of using serious accounting improprieties to wilfully misrepresent its business and inflate the price tag on it. Autonomy founder Mike Lynch, who left the company before the debacle was made public, vehemently denies any wrongdoing. Britain’s Serious Fraud Office is currently investigating the case, alongside the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice in the US.
Ms Whitman said: “When the news about Autonomy broke, the remaining employees were unsettled – that is the best word. They felt really badly…It has taken them a few months to rebuild their confidence. It has been really hard on them.”However, she added that the rate at which staff are leaving Autonomy has slowed and that it expected to improve profit margins over the next few quarters.
HP’s allegations about Autonomy unleashed a furious war of words with Mr Lynch, and marked the opening salvo in a legal row which threatens to cast a shadow over the business for years. Ms Whitman said she had no regrets about making the scandal public and vowed to try and recover as much money as HP can for shareholders.
“There wasn’t even a question [of making public], because the magnitude of the accounting improprieties, the disclosure failures, the accounting misrepresentation was so substantial that there was not even an option to not be straight up about this. We had to explain to our investors, our employees what had actually happened here.”
The boss of Hewlett Packard has admitted that the Autonomy accounting scandal dented morale at the Cambridge business, but has ruled out selling the “magical” technology firm.

Me too. In fact I think these were the first shares I ever bought. Sadly I sold way before the buyout...... still made some money along the way.
