Buy of 116,188 just gone thru at full offer price @ 6.5p.In for some more if offer slips back to 6p.

any paper talk today ? probably not as there is any lack of follow up in the shares traded so far....

this will come good.

Clear as crystal


Having recently completed a contract worth some 450,000 to protect the glass of Terminal Buildings one and two of Changi Airport in Singapore, Pentagon Protection whose window film protects against bomb blasts and other forms of attack has won a further 750,000 of orders in the international market in the past two months.


The order book, which is now close to 1m, could double, or even treble, if discussions taking place in the Far East and Middle East prove fruitful or if the threatened terrorist attack on London takes place.


Pentagon broke even in the first half of this year and chief executive Graham Bannerman is hopeful of being able to report a move into profits in the not-too-distant future. A brokers note from Seymour Pierce, due in the next few weeks, may provide a clue.

BIGBOBJOYLOVE - 26 Aug'04 - 16:26 - 927 of 927


this note should set the ball rollin.

Low volumes but all buys so far today.Waiting for close above 6.4p-6.5p and possible breakout.Personally see little downside and potential to double up at the very least.Larger buy having to pay full ask which bodes well imho.

All buys today.Chart below shows, breakout confirmed sharepprice closes & holds above 6.5p

All buys today.PPR starting to move with bid creeping up 6p/6.5p.

.. Hi .. I live on the 'FAR3' thread, a 'house' full of chartists. We are regularly visited by 'non-chartists' wishing to know what the charts say with regards to certain stocks. Most of the stocks are priced under 100p, and having spent this year looking at thousands of charts, and providing my thoughts, I have noticed that at certain 'KEY LEVELS', I am repeatedly saying the same things. I have therefore identified a number of 'KEY LEVELS' under 100p, in order to produce a 'price guide', to which I have added my thoughts. Obviously this will not be as accurate as viewing an individual chart in detail, but for those unable to read charts, it will hopefully provide a good 'general guide'.

The lower the price of the stock, the greater effect each of these 'KEY LEVELS' will have upon price movement ... Always take guidance from the 'CLOSING' prices.

This 'price guide' is just my personal observations and thoughts, and to ascertain the accuracy of this guide, I would be grateful for some feedback from anyone that may use it .. feedback relating to accurate results, will assist others in deciding whether its worth using or not, and feedback pointing out any innacurate results, will allow amendments to be made .. Thankyou.



15.00p - CONSOLIDATION RANGE CROSSOVER POINT (strength 2)

For a rising price, this is quite a strong resistance level, which may need a period of consolidation to overcome. Its the crossover point into the next range above, which is centred around the 20p level, and as this next range stretches to 25p, it is unlikely to enter this range until it feels confident enough to continue its uptrend..



For a falling price from the range above, this is a very strong support range, that is unlikely to fail easily, and should provide a good opportunity for a bounce back up into the range above. It also acts as a good support level for failed attempts to break through into the range above, and from this support, there is a greater chance of a breakout being achieved.

12.50p - MAJOR KEY LEVEL MID PRICE (strength 4)

For a rising price, this is a major resistance level that will hold it close to the 10p centre of the range until it can build up sufficient strength to break through. When the breakout does occur, it may well be achieved in very sharp strong moves that could see the price propelled to the 15p ceiling of the range.



For a falling price, at these low levels, each of these key levels will act as strong support. It could find itself consolidating around the centre of this range for quite a while, in order to build up the power and strength, to break through the 12.50p MAJOR KEY LEVEL above. If this support fails, and it closes below the level, then this should be treated as a warning of possible further falls.

10.00p - CENTRE OF CONSOLIDATION RANGE (strength 3)

For a rising price, at these low levels, this is going to be a major psychological level to overcome, and it will act as strong resistance. It will probably need a good period of consolidation nearby in order to achieve a breakout, and when the breakout occurs, it could be completed with sharp strong moves that propels the price through the resistance level.



For a falling price, this level will provide support to help lift it back towards the 10p centre of the range, providing a tight consolidation range. Should the price fall through this level and close below, it is normally a warning sign of possibly falling on through to the 5p floor of the range, if not further. At these low levels, each 1p interval will provide support.

7.50p - lower mid point resistance/support level (strength 1)

For a rising price, it is important to rise above this level as soon as possible, because whilst below, there is more likelihood of falling through the floor of the range into the lower range centred around 10p. This level will often halt a strong breakout from the lower range, sending it back for confirmation that the 5p floor of this new range will provide support for it.



For a falling price at these low prices, this is a major support level, as it is the floor of the consolidation range centred around 10p, and its the crossover point to the lower basement range. If the price closes below this level, this should be treated as a strong warning signal, because the lower range stretches down to 0.0001p, then disappears !!

5.00p - CONSOLIDATION RANGE CROSSOVER POINT (strength 2)

For a rising price, this is a major resistance level, as its the crossover point into the next range above, which is centred around the 10p level. As this next range stretches to 15p, it is unlikely to enter this range until it feels confident enough, that its recovery is underway. This breakout is not usually achieved until a long period of consolidation has taken place, and when the breakout does occur, it is usually done with sharp strong moves as it releases the strength that has been built up.



For a falling price from a failed attempt to break through the 5p crossover point into the next range, this offers the last major support level, where it can rest and gather some more strength to attempt another breakout. It has a greater chance of achieving a breakout of the basement range from this level, than below. If the price has fallen down through the 5p level, then this offers the last major support level to try for a bounce back into the range above. At these very low levels, there is possibly support at every 0.5p interval.

2.50p - upper mid point resistance/support level (strength 1)

For a rising price, this is a major resistance level that will try and keep the price held in the basement. It is also a good level to consolidate and build up its strength to break through the 5p ceiling of the range, and into the upper range centred around 10p. Once the price starts rising above this level, then expect a breakout attempt, but at these very low levels, every 1p interval will act as a resistance level.
.. My cute 'baby photo' for the ladies !!

reminds me of 3dm worldwide,breathtakin potential and a chance to get in early this time round.



By Brian O' Connor - Daily Mail

Geoff Russel is having a hard time smashing the front passenger window of an opel Vectra. He bashes it hard four times with a hammer before the glass breaks - but the window holds firm.
He beats it with his fists and kicks it full force. Finally he uses the hammer again and the window gives way.
Russel is the co-inventor of SupaGlass, a thich film bonded to a car window by Pentagon Protection. It has taken a full minute to break into the Vectra. Studies suggest most thieves give up if they cannot break the glass in seconds.
Russel is doing the violence in Pentagon's Acton plant in west London, where a massive new Rolls Royce, a heavyweight armoured Hammer and several sleek Mercedes are getting Protective treatment. Cars for James Bond film have been toughened up here, as (the talk goes) have various cars with royal owners.
When Russel and Peter Mukerjee pioneered Supaglass in 1990's, they intially focused on tinting car windows. But after a top BBC man and a dairy chief executive suffered car-jackings, they began working on security glass. A car break-in happens every 21 seconds in Britain.
Having Supaglass fitte to your car can cost 900 plus VAT - a pittance for VIPs but quite alot for the ordinary Motorist. The Big prize is to offer it as an option when you buy. Mercedes has already done so, BMW may follow.

Protecting Buildings is the next big opportunity. Eight months ago Pentagon bought Filmtek, which provides protective coating for windows and glass roofing.
No film can shut out a major bomb blast. But it can do much to lessen the terrible injuries caused by the shards of glass flying at 100 miles an hour.
Terror attacks across the globe have bought in huge customers - major banks, HSBC, Standard Chartered and Bank of America among them.
At the eurostar terminal in Waterloo, Pentagon is replacing and protecting the roof glass. At changi airport in singapore, it has just completed a 450,000 contract. It has four projects in china and has opened offices in Singapore and Bahrain.
At home, it is talking to Health and safety Authorities, the fire brigade and police. Chairman David Thomas says: "there are huge opportunties for us'.
Founded in 1992, Pentagon floated on AIM in April 2003 at 3p. The shares are now 6.37p valuing it at 8m.
Progress has been slow in the year to september last, it lost 270,000 on sales of 1.17m. In the half to march, it broke even on sales of 1.5m, half from Filmtek.
Thomas and Chief Executive Graham Bannerman, who joined with Filmtek, are confident that the pace is picking up. Filmtek alonehas won 750,000 orders in the last two months. Profit Margins are healthy.
If sales in the coming year hit 5m and profit reaches on a low tax charge, that would push earnings to 0.4p and justify the current share price. If all goes as Pentagon hopes, profit growth thereafter could be rapid.
Early-stage Companies offer some more shares to replenish their coffers. But Thomas says: 'I would be disappointed if we had to go for additional funding. Our aim is to grow organically.'
This is a small company and things could go wrong. But the team is enthusiastic and confident. Thomas says: 'A great deal of sweat has gone into this. Now we feel we are at the tipping point.' That goes for the shares too.

PPR has recently received the attention of two financials,the first Investment section with Brian O'Connor and the second I am lead to believe by RHPS over the week-end suggesting 8p buy limit and 12p target price.Last week sp hit intraday highs of 8p/8.5p dropped back to 6.75p/7p fridays close and back up into the 8's this morning.Over the last week must be over 12m shares changing hanges which has been phenomenal.Expecting PPR Filmtect to be phenomenally successful.

Chart breakout last week holding above 6.5p and now having a go to hold above 7.5p.Have a look at chart post 6 - nice uptrend devolping.Personal target price 15p.imho.

PPR back up from 6.75p-7p to current 8p-8.5p.Buying momentum and chart looks good to confirm support further breakout 7.5p-10p.Target prices mentioned between 12p and 15p.imho.

Passed 2 million shares traded.Chart showing breakouts on way to test 10p.imho.

Exciting propects for this early stage company.Still that resistance @ 8p to get through which will need to be news assisted.In the meantime opportunities to buy on weakness.Currently 7.5p/8p and can buy inside spread for 7.8p.

Since last week in August recommended as a buy Brian O'Connor Daily Mail,RHPS,Seymour Pierce and Hoodless Brennan.

Share price fell back to 7p-7.5p post share placing with old and new Institutions.Recovering,currently 7.5p-8.25p.Chart yet to show breakout above R=8p

Can currently buy inside 8p spread on offer @ 7.85p.

just ticked up to 8.25p.mms do not hold much stock so will match buyers to sellers.With no overhang sp moves up when buyers move in.R=8p.

Very quiet treading water.Consolidating with strong support @ 7p and resistance @ 8p.Buying opportunities @ 7.75p.Results a few weeks away and possibly good news to assist breakout.imho.

Results soon.

a few sellers again today - not getting a very good price. anyhow, i've been in these a while and am looking forward to results.

there's been persistant selling of these over the last couple of weeks. with results around the corner does someone know something I don't?

04/11/04 17:38 Pentagon Protection (PPR) UK Banking Contract Gains

Good buying volumes on friday.

Maanged a 10% rise on Friday but still undervalued..

No mention in this week-ends press.Possibility of buying 7.75p or less next week.With most recent news anything less than 8p looking a good buying opportunity.Won't hang around at these levels for too much longer.Have it on good authority that results are "soon".imho.dyor.

From t'other thread.

I don't know about others on here but when I hear ramper expressions such as 'mind-boggling', 'explosive' (even when used by non-rampers!) I immediately turn negative on a stock. Just my two cents worth.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sound as though you are easily turned off and negative.ASC has been ramped like mad for good reasons.Simply mind boggling,explosive even up from 3p to 80p!

PPR listed on AIM @ 3p in April 2003. The company produce safety glass for cars and bought Filmtek latter part of 2003 which produces safety glass for other industries/buildings.Holding PPR from 4.5p a 70%+ profit to date therefore have more than a few cents worth to rub together.Recent contract announcements Thursday evening confirm further contract wins in the UK on top of those projects already completed.You add it up,projects completed and new wins since last results.Comes to ms.Aim is to have 20m turnover in five years. Company have clear strategy of international expansion.Huge growth potential.Airports,Train Stations,Banks in fact anything with glass.You name it and Pentagon can protect it.Sadly a world of terrorism,extremists,violence in one form or another.People and lives need protecting.Products are high quality and recognised endorsement in respect of vehicular glass.Worth researching and placing on your monitors is my two cents worth.Glib comments like yours do not impress me.Research is perhaps another word that turns you -ve as you clearly have not researched this company in my humble opinion.Very enthusiastic about the company and prospects.Advfn down or would copy and paste another poster where favourable comparisons made between Pentagon and Coca-Cola.Early stage and small cap.I'm bullish and have every reason to be.DYOR!

PENTAGON PROTECTION PLC
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Introduction and Financial Review

I am pleased to report that the period under review has been one of notable
progress for Pentagon Protection. The integration of Filmtek Ltd., Pentagon
Protection's first acquisition made in December 2003, following the April 2003
flotation on AIM, is progressing well. Our turnover has grown significantly and
we have made a robust recovery on profit with a stronger and fitter Company.
The Group's financial results from continuing operations for the six months to
31 March 2004 show turnover of #755,757, compared with #531,930 for the same
period last year.

Including the effects of the Filmtek acquisition, half-year turnover increased
to #1,464,819 against #1,165,914 for the whole of the year ended 30 September
2003. On profit, the Group significantly improved on last year's pre-tax losses
of #270,000 by breaking even for the period.

These results are broadly in line with management's expectations and strategy.
As indicated in my annual report for the year ended 30 September 2003, we
acquired Filmtek in order to underpin the Company's leadership in the delivery
of improved security and safety for glass of any kind, and this is reflected in
our figures and more broadly based business mix.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Filmtek Ltd.

Filmtek has, as anticipated, strengthened the Group's objective of becoming a
leading supplier of protective glass products across a broader client base and
adds substantial flat glass expertise to the Company.

Filmtek is in the process of undertaking several major projects both
domestically and internationally, especially in the Middle East. The Company's
clients include a number of global banks, international business houses and
government departments.

Pentagon Glass Tech

Pentagon Glass Tech Ltd., the original core of business of the Group which went
public on AIM, has been managing the market downturn in window tinting resulting
from recent legislation adjustments which have slowed demand for normal vehicle
tints to the driver and forward passenger windows. Significantly, your Company
has taken the opportunity to promote its proprietary SupaGlass higher protection
laminate across a number of existing and newly developed client opportunities.
We are actively engaged with the Department for Transport to promote our
product's safety and security aspects and, in addition, your Directors have
been strengthening relationships and business with the Fire Brigade, the
Metropolitan Police, the Ambulance Service and the Ministry of Defence.

Pentagon's progress with Original Equipment Manufacturers in the automotive
sector is also encouraging. We have secured business from Honda, Citroen, and
Wrightbus, and are due to commence projects with Volkswagen. Pentagon has become
the recommended supplier for all London-area Mercedes dealers, a first for a
company in our sector.

Pentagon Pro-Marker

As you know, your Company has been working on the development of a product that
provides a technically improved glass-etched security mark for use by glass and
glazing industries in the face of new legislation. This new legislation (FENSA),
driven by the UK's Glass & Glazing Federation, dictates that all new building
glass must be marked or etched with the confirmation of its compliance with
building regulations.

Pentagon has commenced production of the first batch of etching units. In the
meantime, we have conducted very successful tests with these units in one of the
world's largest glazing manufacturers, Pilkington. We look forward to being
able to report progress on this exciting project in the future.

Outlook

It is evident that the steps taken by your Board to strengthen both critical
mass and senior management these last few months have resulted in a
significantly improved stronger business.

In our two lead companies, Pentagon Glass Tech and Filmtek, we have clear
demonstration of product appeal both for SupaGlass and for our other protection
technologies. The need for protection across glass of all types continues to
grow, driven by urban criminal violence and terrorism. We are investing too in
the expansion of our presence to the two potentially high growth territories of
the Middle East and Far East.

We have also seen an improvement in the confidence of our client companies to
increase levels of business with us, resulting from further improvements and
performance accreditation of our technologies and from our client service
levels.

Pentagon Protection is well placed to take advantage of market opportunities at
home and overseas for both its Filmtek and Pentagon Glass Tech subsidiaries.

We look forward to continued progress across all areas of the business.

David Thomas
Chairman

PENTAGON PROTECTION PLC
CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT
For the six months ended 31 March 2004

John,Heard of Coca-Cola? Pentagon Protection had not even acquired Filmtek at time article below was written.

From the July 2003 issue of City Equities:

It is not often that we can talk of similarities between a multi-billion pound dollar corporation and a recent aim entrant, but Coca-Cola and Pentagon Protection are two companies that have something in common. So what is it, you are probably wondering?

In Coca-Colas case, it is a secret drinks formula, while for Pentagon, although at a much earlier stage and operating in a completely different industry, it is Supaglass, an application solution, which is used to strengthen glass for car side windows.
It is from Supaglass that Pentagon hopes to build a profitable and expansive business.

The plan is to develop the domestic and international franchise network and increase existing relationships in the car industry, which have already been forged with Land Rover and Citroen. Pentagons products have been fitted to vehicles for the Cabinet and Home Office, various police forces and foreign embassies, along with a number of high profile individuals and celebrities, such as Tony Blair.

Outside of the automotive sector, Pentagons two way and solar protective glass have been used in the television industry, most notably in the TV shoe Big Brother.
Looking ahead, demand could be driven by legislative changes, as the Health and Safety Executive is considering extending the definition of the workplace to include vehicles for work.

Also the law on corporate killing, relating to workplace fatal accidents, is due to change, which is expected to increase the responsibility of firms for accidents that harm their employees. It is interesting to note that if the pre-tax profit for the two years ending 30 September 2004 is between 0.625 and 0.75m, the directors will be issued with up to 12.5m shares. This earn out gives the management an additional incentive to grow the business, in order to attain the target.

Pentagon exhibits many characteristics that are crucial in developing a successful business, such as a scalable business model, high barriers to entry, low capital costs, an incentivised management team and a high margin product. With these in place, we are hopeful that Pentagons plan can be fulfilled.

ENDS

John,Seeing is believing.

Update for you.Do the sums and you should make it 3.4m!More where that came from imho.

Pentagon had "recently" completed a contract for 1.6million on Eurostar/Waterloo station.

The same RNS makes (additional) reference to the completion of a contract worth 450,000 for Changi Airport, Singapore.

It also confirms that Pentagon has "won further international orders in the last two months, totalling #750,000".

Yesterday's RNS (04/11/04) announced "three significant contract wins amounting to a total sales value of 610,000 "

So: 1.6 million + 450,000 + 750,000 + 610,000 = 3,410,000

Can learn a thing or two on these websites.

Keep reading,researching and watching John.Already up and chart itching to break out news assisted naturally.I see growth.I see profits.I see share price rising year on year.imho,dyor. ;o)

Interesting article by Dan Atkinson in the Financial Mail headed "We'll pay for protection say business".Goes on to report that:-Nearly half of British businesses are ready to fund a specialist police squad to protect them from terrorists,animal rights extremists and computer hackers.

Obviously no direct mention of making buildings and car glass more safe and secure,however,the theme is there.Digby Jones is quoted as saying "The cost of doing nothing is very high"............"It is an expense that business should happily bear"........."If it saves a life one day,it is money well spent."

Terrorism,extremism in any shape or form is sadly a part of our world.Common sense dictates is a matter of great concern and seen as a threat.

Yes it a very small price to save a life or a person from serious injury.Banks,Embassies,Airports,Train Stations,Bus Stations,Trains,Buses,Cars,Police,Fire Brigade,Army, the list is endless.I personally like the fact that Pentagon have high quality products that will protect the lives of people and help minimise potentially horid injuries cause by flying glass @ 100 MPH.

CBI survey conducted jointly with security technology firm QinetiQ "found that 97% of businesses rated security isssues as a matter of of great or some concern,................"

My gut instinct says that Security and Protection is a growth industry.Is a need as opposed to want and no longer a luxury.Projects completed and recently won contracts are the tip of the iceburg-the world is full of glass.HSBC has banks here in the UK AND around the world.Airports,Embassies around the world......

Broker quoting full offer price of 8p.

imho,dyor

pete:) bullish and confidently holding PPR.

Too expensive at 8p I will wait till it falls to 7.5p before I purchase some..

Know what you are saying.@ 8p looking cheaper for buyers higher up @ 8.5p to 9p.Very tight spread though.Interesting.WINS wants stock.Will buy more if there is a drop.Anyone who is yet to buy risks chasing a rising price if PPR get tipped again,company announces more contract wins or if results issued without notice,confirming profitability and company very upbeat.Quiet day of thin volumes.imho.

HOOD just moved offer at 12:08 up to 8.25p.Only KBC left on 8p.About to move?

Ticked up 7.75p/8.25p.

WINS moved up on the bid 8p/8.25p.Something in the air.3 mms blue KBC moved up at 16:18 too.
L2 1 v 1 then offer up 8.5p.

Sneaky mms.Trade reported after close made to look like a sell.In fact a buy earlier in the day 15:42:13 55,000 bought @ 8p!

Think we may see share price trading sideways for a bit until company issue next announcement.With 74,918 shares bought and only 70,000 shares sold mms not letting them go for cheaper than 8.12p a share.May be tipped again and re-rated between now and before Y/E.Good results and more news of contracts to add to 3.4m is all that is required.R=8p and Br=8.5p.Patience and buy any dips.imho

From Chairman's Statement made 25 june 2004 "Filmtek is in the process of undertaking several major projects both domestically and internationally, especially in the Middle East.The Company's clients include a number of global banks, international business houses houses and government departments".

In the process of undertaking means company have won contracts.UK contracts announcement last week.Follows if read literally that projects underway in the Middle East and annoucements to follow soon?! imho.

I don't know about the Middle east Lex but it's sp is definitely heading south.

Well hello John,always time to improve your knowledge about the Middle East and the ups and downs of investing.Tip buy low sell high.Resistance @ 8p means exactly that.Breakout hold a few days above 8.5p means exactly that.Patience and buy the dips means..........you guessed it,exactly that.Better volumes last three days.Todays best buying price=7.75p.Breakout when it eventually comes will be news assisted.Cheap.imho,dyor

PENTAGON PROTECTION (PPR): Pentagon has
announced three new contracts with a total
sales value of 610,000. These are with
Barclays Bank, HSBC and one unnamed bank, which
is looking to protect its Canary Wharf offices.
The largest project, for 360,000, is to
provide 40 of Barclays' London branches with
Pentagon's glass containment film, combined
with a specialist 'anchoring' system, all
designed to prevent injury from broken or
flying glass. BUY

Interesting week ahead particularly IF gets mention in week-end press and company come out with good results and further contract wins.Watchout out for RNS.Keep holding.R=8p Br=8.5p.imho.

No pre market mark up may provide opportunity to buy @ 8p for those in first?

Low volumes but solid buying.Positive.Consolidating and building support @ 8p.

Big yawn today...

No point in yawning Mitzy! With all that protective glass around, no one will hear you.

Yawns may hurt pride and personal feelings.No threat to life and limb.Sadly,world is inhabited with violent individuals,extremists and terrorists who will stop at nothing.In the minority which is fortunate but one individual can cause too much damage to buildings,transport and hateful serious injuries and or death.Rarely a week goes by without hearing about bombers suicidal or otherwise.Rightly or wrongly graphically shown around the globe on real life news,fictional & non fictional films. This is the real world in which we all live better and for worse.

Pentagon's glass containment film, combined with a specialist 'anchoring' system, all designed to prevent injury from broken or flying glass.Flying glass can travel at 100 miles per hour.Frightening and disturbing to see first hand personal glass inflicted injuries including loss of sight,limbs,life threatening injuries and loss of life.In May 2004 and August 2004 could buy PPR under 5p and 6p respectively.Better feeling knowing that you have bought low and looking up at a rising share price.Friday closed 7.5p/8p.Returning excellent short term gains.Interesting to compare small 253 profit H1 (Financial Highlights* Turnover: #1.46m (2003: #531, 930)with results due before year end and how this fits companies expansion plans.lex1000 - 08 Nov'04 - 00:05 - 28 of 47 editPentagon had "recently" completed a contract for 1.6million on Eurostar/Waterloo station.The same RNS makes (additional) reference to the completion of a contract worth 450,000 for Changi Airport, Singapore.It also confirms that Pentagon has "won further international orders in the last two months, totalling #750,000".Yesterday's RNS (04/11/04) announced "three significant contract wins amounting to a total sales value of 610,000 "So: 1.6 million + 450,000 + 750,000 + 610,000 = 3,410,000.

Potentially this could return rising share price many times for early stage investors.Projects completed,new contract announcements confirm that turnover is increasing and promising higher margins.Governments,companies,business and industries have a duty to protect.Individuals and high risk groups will seek protection,the best that money can buy.The world can be made safer and more secure with Pentagon Glass technologies.The real world needs these products.Demand is there as recent announcements confirm.Choose the best PPR is first class.I have the staying power and patience to keep holding long term.

Pentagon Protection have a global expansion strategy in the right sector at the the right time.Contracts rolling in.More to follow.Hear,hear!

Pentagon Protection have a range of technologies.More strings to its bow and not a one product company.Management know what they are doing with gaol of 20m turnover within five years!Hear,hear!

Target prices forecast in 2004 vary between 12p and 15p more longer term.Hear,hear!



Chart looking v.good too.Rising trend.Waiting for good results and even more positive newsflow.Early stage small cap company.Resistance @ 8p.Breakout @ 8.5p.PPR have huge chart busting potential.Hear,hear!

imho,dyor.

Film SEIGE currently showing on TV.Features and graphically illustrates the work of terrorist cells,damage to buildings-cars-buses-injuries to human life and loss of life.So much unprotected glass all around.Clear as glass,Pentagon Protection comes immediately to mind.Technologies available here and now.A company with vision of a world full of safer glass.Well worth a punt.imho.

Info on advfn "Management is away in Dubai this week......."

Management and company very busy with global expansion.Currently strict policy that only Peter or Geoff available to answer investor queries.In fact mainly Peter.Both very hands on and as company announcements would imply so much going on behind the scenes.Impression too that with results literally due anytime and prospects of further announcements company not wishing to breach rules by releasing price sensitive information.Do need to persevere even with telephone calls and longer wait if these guys travelling Middle and Far East.The emphasis,almost 100% emphasis was comapny going "INTERNATIONAL".Give these guys the time. Think holders will be very pleasantly surprised.imho.dyor.

Mixed start.Monitor 50% split between greend and red with splattering of blue.If things come together within next four weeks could see pleasing rises in share price.Keep holding.imho.

Results.Allow four weeks at most in time for Christmas.Busy x'mas shopping tree out of the attic and into living room end of next week.

The media continues full of news and pictures demonstrating the worldwide need for Pentagon safety glass products.Very quiet here until results and further good news.Trees is up with lights & decorations.Getting on with chrissie shopping and what remains x'mas cards list will be posted by mid week.Seasonal greetings to one and all.Wishing a Happy Peaceful Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Ticking up nicely now...whats your target lex for 2005..?

mitzy,intentions of holding to 2008.If company produce the goods believe possible to see 12p to 15p a share in 2005.More longer term.No rush.Obviously take one thing at a time and need to establish support @ 10p.Todays Terrorist attack on US Consulate Saudi Arabia demonstrates the need for security and safety glass.Pentagon well placed to meet demands and capture internal market.Share for investors.imho.

Yeah Lex This is explosive alright. This share is bombing anyway. I see 8p looking more and more distant. I always wish that people would be careful when using emotive language.

John,Wishing you a Happy Peaceful Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Great prospects--it's a buy on a drop and tuck away for me.

Treading water on low volumes.Take any opportunities to buy any dips.Prospects are great.Would suggest that now would an appropriate time to place PPR on your monitors if not done so already.R=8p Br=8.5p imho.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2004

Final results for the year ended 30th September 2004.

Introduction and Financial Review

I am delighted to report a year of considerable progress in the development of
Pentagon Protection plc. These results are in line with management's
expectations arising from the strategies announced in the Group's 2003 Annual
Report and deployed across 2004. A significant gain has been recorded in
turnover, the Group has moved into profit and we have strengthened the
foundations for the continued growth of our established business and expansion
into new product sectors and geographies.

Importantly, we have successfully integrated a major new business - Filmtek
Limited, acquired in December 2003 - to underpin the achievement of our
aspirations of becoming a leading global player in overall glass protection.

The Group's financial results from continuing operations for the year ending 30
September 2004 show turnover up 25 per cent. to #1,462,714, compared with
#1,165,914 for the previous year. Including the effects of the Filmtek
acquisition, turnover for the year increased to #3,316,554, up 184 per cent.
compared to 2003.

On operating profit, the continuing operations posted a swing of #288,402 from
an operating loss of (#270,422) in 2003 to a profit of #17,980 in 2004. With the
contribution from the Filmtek acquisition, the operating profit in 2004 was
#278,489, an improvement of #548,911 over 2003 levels.

The Group has benefited from a positive cash flow during the year. The net
interest charge for the year reduced to #16,638 (2003: #31,191). Interest was
covered 16 times by operating profit (2003: interest was not covered due to an
operating loss).

Net assets of the Group have increased to #3,596,309 (2003: #375,865) as a
result of the acquisition of Filmtek and the two successful share placings
during the year: First, in December 2003, to help finance the acquisition of
Filmtek (21 million new Ordinary Shares at 4.75p, which raised #997,500 gross);
second, in September 2004 (9.6 million new Ordinary Shares at 6.25p, which
raised #600,000 gross) to finance the organic expansion of the Group. Overall
there was an increase in net funds during the year of #385,649 (2003: #311,097).

The net cash outflow from operating activities of #189,905 (2003: outflow of
#340,211) was caused by an increase in working capital of #547,945 (2003:
increase in working capital #134,940). The increase in working capital reflects
the expansion of the business with the acquisition of Filmtek and the broadening
of the geographical spread of the Group's activities.

In line with stated policy, the directors do not recommend payment of a
dividend.

Business Review

Pentagon Filmtek

Filmtek, the Group's first acquisition since flotation, is a leading specialist
in the advancement and installation of safety, security and solar window film on
commercial buildings, in the UK and overseas. To recap on the details of the
acquisition: it was financed by a placing of 21 million new Ordinary Shares at
4.75p, which raised #997,500 gross, and by the issue of 15,789,474 new Ordinary
Shares in Pentagon Protection to the vendors. In addition, deferred
consideration of up to a maximum of #1 million could also be payable over the
following three years, depending on Pentagon Filmtek's profits in the three
years ended 30 April 2006, this to be satisfied by a combination of cash and new
Ordinary Shares in Pentagon.

The acquisition has significantly broadened the international market for
Pentagon Protection's products and services under the distinctive Pentagon brand
and has added substantial flat-glass expertise to the Company's automotive glass
protection services.

Pentagon Filmtek, which was founded as Filmtek Limited in 1996, has grown to
become a leading specialist in the development and installation of protective
window film on commercial buildings, leading to the development of the Filmtek
'Anchoring Solution', a unique technology for containing and anchoring glass
that has particular application in overhead glazed roofing.

Pentagon Filmtek's contribution to the Group's overall business has exceeded
expectations. Turnover of this business for the nine months ending September
2004 was #1,853,840, representing 56 per cent. of Group sales. Operating profit
for the same period was #260,509.

Pentagon Filmtek has undertaken several major projects over the year, nationally
and internationally, and has provided a base from which the Group has
established on-the-ground representation in the Far East (Singapore) and will
shortly open in the Middle East (Bahrain), two geographical areas identified as
key to our international expansion. The Group has also established agency
relationships in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Over the last two years, Pentagon
Filmtek has completed contracts in more than 51 countries worldwide, including
Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor, Bahrain, China, and Singapore.

Our recent client list comprises an array of blue-chip companies. Domestic and
international contracts recently completed and ongoing include: HSBC, Sony,
Boots, Marks & Spencer, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Asda, Dixons, the British
Council, United Nations, DHL, Pepsi, Singapore Changi Airport and a number of
Middle East based groups.

The prospects for continued progress are also highly encouraging: Pentagon
Filmtek has currently quoted for projects comprising close to #3,000,000 in
value and has an order book of #1,300,000.

Pentagon Glass-Tech

Section 32 of the Construction and Use Regulations (part of the Road Traffic
Act) was changed by Parliament in February 2004 to include reference to window
tint films, the effect of which is to discourage the practice of applying tints
to the driver and forward passenger windows. This had a significant effect on
demand for window tinting and compelled the Group to step up its effort in
promoting SupaGlass as a superior alternative to tinting and to open new markets
internationally, capitalising on the strengthening overall awareness of the
Pentagon brand.

The revised strategy is working. Turnover on continuing operations for the year
ending September 30, 2004 was #1,462,714, up from #1,165,914 for the previous
year. Good progress was also made on profit, with the business posting an
operating profit for the year of #17,980 compared to a loss for the previous
year of #239,231.

Internationally, Pentagon Glass-Tech has secured license-based representation
across the year in Benelux and Brazil and received a deposit for Greece.
Discussions are ongoing with a number of additional licensee prospects,
particularly in the Middle East. The directors are confident that the pace of
international expansion will accelerate over this next year. Pentagon Glass-Tech
and Pentagon Filmtek plan to establish dedicated offices and facilities in
Bahrain, which will act as the base for the Group to fulfil automotive and
commercial building projects within the region.

SupaGlass is continuing to attract commendations, accreditations and praise from
the motor industry. After the VW initiative to promote the product throughout
its dealer network, which is now beginning to be executed, sister company Audi
has recently approved SupaGlass and will soon also offer SupaGlass through its
motor retail network. Similar aspirations exist with respect to Mazda and Honda,
both of which have approved SupaGlass during 2004. In addition, the Post Office
has recently issued an approval for SupaGlass following extensive testing and
this is expected to translate into orders for the application of Supaglass to a
significant number of vehicles from the start of 2005.

A major focus for SupaGlass during 2005 will be Health and Safety. Government
Health & Safety policies are encouraging employers to put more diligence into
developing duties of care operations for their employees on the road. It is
anticipated that this will lead to increased SupaGlass demand for company
vehicles, capitalising on the brand's growing reputation for protection in this
area.

Pentagon Glass-Tech will launch, early in 2005, an upgraded version of SupaGlass
that increases the thickness of the protective laminate from 300 to 450 microns.
Not only will the Group secure worldwide exclusivity from the manufacturer for
distribution of this superior-performing material, the initiative will
strengthen Pentagon's position with the Government on the development of a new,
anti-theft DIN standard for vehicle glazing.

Pentagon Pro-Marker

The Group has been working on the development of a product that provides a
patented, technically superior glass-etched certification mark for use by glass
and glazing industries in the face of impending legislation. This new
legislation dictates that all safety glass produced and installed in any
building within a critical location must be marked in accordance with the
relevant impact accreditation. Failure to do so could deem the glass unfit for
purpose and non-compliant with UK building regulations with the penalties in
line with UK law. Pro-Marker has been developed in close consultation with the
glass industry and with the support of the Glass & Glazing Federation.

Pentagon Pro-Marker was officially launched in November at "Glasstech 2004" in
Dusseldorf, the leading international glass exhibition. The response received
from representatives of many countries was extremely encouraging and the
directors are now in advanced discussions with a leading distributor for the UK
and Europe. In addition, the Group is in discussions with a number of companies
both inside and outside of the glass industry, from whom significant orders for
Pro-Marker are also expected to mature over the next year.

Conclusion and Outlook

It is encouragingly evident that the steps taken by the directors to strengthen
both critical mass and senior management over the last year, in combination with
a clear spirit of commitment and dedication at all levels from within the Group,
have resulted in a significantly stronger business and platform for future
growth.

In our two lead companies, Pentagon Filmtek and Pentagon Glass-Tech, we have
clear evidence of the internationally growing product appeal of our other
protection technologies.

The need for protection across glass of all types continues to grow, driven by
urban criminal violence, terrorism and intensifying Health & Safety
considerations. We have also seen a growth in the confidence of our clients to
increase levels of business with us, resulting from continuing improvements in
product and service and further accreditations of our technologies.

The first quarter has started well and the Group has a record order book. With
the Group pressing ahead over the coming year with its plans to expand the
Pentagon Protection brand geographically into new markets, introduce better
technologies and launch superior new products, the directors are confident of
continued progress across all areas of the business.

Pentagon in a top glass recovery
(Filed: 18/12/2004)

"Pentagon Protection, the specialist glassmaker, has returned to the black a year after listing on the Alternative Investment Market.
David Thomas, the chairman, said the full-year figures yesterday showed a "year of reasonable progress" with a 270,000 loss last year becoming a 179,000 pre-tax profit. Sales in the year to September almost trebled to 3.3m following Pentagon's acquisition of Film Tek, which installs solar and security window film on commercial buildings.
Film Tek's order book, with clients from HSBC to Marks & Spencer, stands at a record 1.3m and Mr Thomas said the deal had enabled Pentagon to establish a base in the Middle and Far East.
The company said the first quarter has started well and profits are expected to improve across all areas of the business in the current year.
The shares, which listed at 3p last April, closed up 0.2 at 7.95p."

From U K- Analyst:

"Shares in high-technology glass group Pentagaon Protection jumped 0.2p to 7.95p after it posted a swing into profits in the year to September 30th. Turnover in the period leaped 184% to 3.32 million pounds, 1.85 million pounds of which was contributed by the acquisition of Filmtek. Pre-tax profits came in at 178,857 pounds. compared with a loss of 270,422 pounds in fiscal 2003. In line with its stated policy, the group did not pay a dividend. The company was also upbeat on its outlook -it said the first quarter has started well and it had a record order book."

Smashing company and safe bet for 2005.imho,dyor.

* Surprise! - Just out after markets closed... Tom Bulford @ Red Hot Penny Shares *

PENTAGON PROTECTION (PPR): Security is a real growth
industry, and Pentagon offers toughened glass
principally for motor vehicles and a laminating
service for buildings to ensure that glass shattered
by an explosion is contained. It has also developed a
new glass marker, in readiness for new building
regulations which dictate that the qualities of each
pane of glass must be etched upon it.

Figures for the year to September 2004 were good, and
Pentagon has a record order book. I am intending to
visit the company's glass toughening plant in west
London early in the year. Until then things look
promising and I am sticking to my 8p buy limit. BUY

Very long on PPR.sp can continue sideways as long as it likes but eventually go north.Record order book and profits will see to that.Keep holding.Company upbeat,Brokers note,update following visit to factory,re-rating all on the cards and safe bet for 2005.imho.

PPR trading between 7p and 8p.Early signs of overhang being cleared.100K "T" buy @ 7.5p shown at close yesterday.Today 100K "M" buy @ 7.5p & another 250K "T" would say a buy @ 7.5p showing up within last half hour before close today.Need news,need more contract wins.Company website rather dated is in process new website bringing it into 2005 which should be up and running before Spring.Not before time.imho.
edit:+ another 100K @ 7.75p shown up late

Nothing to get excited about as sp trading sideways.Real breakout occurs higher up @ 8.5p but bid has perked up moving from 7p/7.5p lows to todays 7.5p/7.75p.IF overhang cleared and with news may see this return to 8p/9p+.imho

Here we go ...

Friday's FT - dont be caught light of PPR.

"Pentagon Protection firmed 1.7 per cent to 7.6p amid rumours that the provider of security film to for overlaying glass windows was is set to win a large contact with a multinational".

Mention in Times Business today
"PPr firmed after analyst presentation and hints of big contracts"

Saucepan - 14 Jan'05 - 08:43 - 2395 of 2399


Just to remind people where the VERIFIABLE basis of the current rumour lies.

17 Dec 04 Final results included the following statement:

"Pentagon Filmtek has currently QUOTED for projects comprising close to 3,000,000 in value and has an order book of 1,300,000.

The PPR group's total annual turnover last year was 3.3 million ;-)

It seems fairly obvious to me that this quoted work is going to come on stream.

Times said PPR rose after a presentation by Seymour Perce..it has won a with Volkswagon and possible contracts with HSBC and Sony..

Times today mentions contracts/talks with Volkswagen, HSBC and Sony.......

Pentagon Protection, which makes toughened glass for the car and construction markets.......after a presentation at Seymour Pierce. The audience heard that it has won business from Volkswagen and is in contract talks with HSBC and Sony

sp firming 8p-8.5p.Gap up 8p-9p to fill.

mms short of stock offer ticked up to 8.75p..Most sellers gone consolidating 7p-8p.Watch for breakout above 8.5p

Hi Lex. Why do you think that the price fell back after its early rise? I'm not against this share per se just ramping terms like explosive etc. It does seem to have good newsflow but certainly the sp doesn't take off imo. Do you know what the profit margin is on their product- a genuine question.

sp rise and fall - careful orchestration of timing of rns (dilution) after financial times rumours of contract wins.

Hi John,Price fell back due to RNS this afternoon announcing issue of shares following aquiring Filmtek and profit taking.In public domain and covered in RNS dated 17 November 2003 payable over three years.Pentagon have done so in one go.Still 250,000 cash to be paid.Rumoured news and todays news of share dilution cancelled each other out and back to resistance of 8p.I have spoken to the company a few times now and waiting a call back from last week as have a number of questions.In my opinion will come up to speed with investor relations and can't wait to see new website as current one is pants.Know that directors have been away,plenty going on and busy with analyst presentations etc.Todays RNS did catch me by surprise,understand your points on ramping terms and admit to being enthusiastic about this company.Mine is an ethical investment as I believe that everyone has the right to feel safe(r)secure and protected in so much as anyone can be.Filmtek is the jewel in the crown leading specialist in the advancement and installation of safety,security and solar window film on buildings.Has an award winning performance enhancing safety and security film (SupaGlass) to vehicle glass.Do know that company in various duscussions looking beyond protection of VIP's to include entourages.Pentagon have completed specialist projects in the past such as Big Brother. Proactive and very good at what they do.Wanting to obtain as much information about guarantees, new product Promarker including costs margins etc.Company is increasing annual turnover year on year recently swinging into profit.Turnover is one thing but count for nought if loss making and will be all about margins.Looking good for 2005 and 2006 should be the year in which company really takes off.Will update when company rings back which will possibly be after all the price sensitive news has been released.I do know that company are very excited about global expansion plans have quoted projects currently 3m which once orders confirmed will add to record order book of 1.3m.This is an early stage company therefore early days & happy to hold as a long term investment.Will post information from company as and when it is received.News of significant orders cannot be too far away.imho.

Daily Express'Pentagon Protection firmed 3/4p to 7.87p on heavy trading after a private-client broker meeting at Seymour Pierce. Dealers were excited by the company's Middle East prospects. It has big contracts in Iraq and is opening an office in Bahrain.

Last week PPR were upbeat & telling private-client broker meeting of large contract and excited by the company's Middle East prospects.Press picked up on both rumours and excitement.Tomorrow friday,additional listing day, would be a very good time to share with the world and his wife by official RNS announcements!No guarantees,nothing in todays thin trades to indicate but usually news comes thursday evenings and fridays.imho.

No dividend, in line with stated policy................................


Spoke to Peter Mukerjee ( pioneered Supaglass with Geoff Russel in 1990's)when he rang this afternoon Wednesday 2 February 2005 and discussed most aspects of the business opening office in Bahrain.He was frank,enthusiatic and optimistic as ever.The real excitement is in the flat glass side i.e Filmtek with emphasis on International expansion.The meeting did take place and news as reported in the press on 14 January 2005.Unaware of todays RNS until very late this evening.IMO nothing sinister or reason for panic.I am happy to have invested in PPR.Holding from 4.4p and content to do so for the long term.Company have a stronger year end.This means taking a twelve month to five year view.My share 2005/2006.Bullish long term.imho,dyor.

Would add that company looking grow organically,year on year.It is correct PPR has 3m quoted projects.This was confirmed as correct(in addition to record order book) and orders won.Lost some but had been replaced by new ones.Promarker has been exhibited,I think that it was somewhere like Dussledorf and company in distribution discussions.One order which could be mentioned as told already made public,presumed this was a reference to client broker meeting reported on 14 January 2004,and that is Saudi Arabia.Company had decided not to issue announcements on every single contract won.Comments taken singly and both together lead me to believe that these were referred to in The Times,Daily Express and that company could issue good news if they chose to do so.In the light of this evenings RNS no time like the present to do so and have e-mailed the company accordingly suggesting that PPR do exactly that.Company have previously issued news over Thursday/Friday which whilst not hinted at in my opinion remains a strong possibility.

These are my understandings.Feel free to contact the company yourselves:-

I think I can provide some insight into the accounting changes they made today as I was the person who phoned the company to inform them of the errors that they made.

There were two main things.

Cashflow statement.
They forgot to account for the acquistion of the subsidiary in the cashflow. The effect of the acquisition was that stock/debtors/creditors for the group all increased (as they would for any acquisition). However when you prepare a consolidated cashflow you remove this effect from the movements in working capital. The company did not do this. Consequently the working capital showed a large outflow and the group showed a cashoutflow from operating activities despite making a profit (this is what highlighted the error to me).

On correcting this you now see a cash inflow. This I feel is very positive and the original release was an own goal by the company in this respect.

Profit and loss account.
Goodwill amortisation was put in the wrong place in the P&L. It should be above operating profit but was in fact put below. This makes very little difference as the intelligent investor adds back goodwill amortisation anyway.


The final point to make is that a company of this size has to rely on its auditors to get these disclosures correct. As I used to be an auditor seeing these types of errors in accounts is not abnormal. What is abnormal is them being released to the market post audit. THIS WAS A MAJOR AUDIT FAILURE and they should be sacked for this.

I have a small shareholding in this but did not sell on finding the errors. They are purely accounting and do not affect the underlying business. Congrats to all those who topped up in this mornings dip.

Youngers - 3 Feb'05 - 16:45 - 2607 of 2642


Ironic thing is the correct figures are better than the first numbers. The goodwill error in the P&L makes no difference as it is only presentational and you strip it out anyway. (This is why every company shows goodwill separate on the face of the P&L to allow investors to remove it, not because they have to show it there)

The cashflow was a big own goal. When I first looked at the accounts and saw a profit and a cash outflow from operating activities I was seriously concerned. That is a very bad sign, shows they have completely lost control of working capital which raises issues of debtor recoverability and stock obsolescence.

I quickly realised however that it was completely wrong. The new numbers are much better and in my opinion should have a postive effect on share price. However post Enron, worldcom etc the market takes a dim view of accounting errors.


As for reading accounts CAECILUS its not easy and just takes practice which I've had plenty of as I prepare financial accounts for a FTSE 250 company.

Thank you for the encouraging info Lex-I will watch and maybe pick up a few long term.

moneyplus,you are more than welcome.All here to help each other and be there for moral support when needed! In no doubt that mms have "played sp and investors".They make the market someone always looses for others to make gains.Back on I course now I think.Patience and long term the right attitude here.Here's something off advfn.if you're interested.imho,dyor.

lex1000 - 5 Feb'05 - 13:40 - 2646 of 2646 edit


Mach10,.Posts were aimed directly at me and have said my peace.Whether it falls on deaf ears is another matter.I mean no harm but enough was enough.Forgotten have moved on and hope others do to.I understand what you mean on credibility problem but in my opinion is not as serious as you may think it is.Society is full of dodgy people inevitably here on bulletin boards,police,legal and financial systems ,local and central goverments, world organations and of course companies are no exception.I consider PPR as a company to be of high integrity and good repute.This has not stopped me from pointing out certain matters in black & white by e-mail and or having full discussions when the company has telephoned me back. The credibility problem the main one in my opinion is this.In newspaper,the Daily Mail article included this "Early-stage Companies offer some more shares to replenish their coffers. But Thomas says: 'I would be disappointed if we had to go for additional funding....." This was on 28 August 2004.What happened next? 27/09/04 07:00 UKREG Additional Listing Pentagon Protection is pleased to announce that on Friday 24 September 2004 it
placed 9,600,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares") in the
Company at 6.25p per share to raise #600,000 of working capital for the Company.The shares have been placed with institutions and clients of the Company's broker, Seymour Pierce Ellis Limited.My personal viewpoint is this. Yes a credibilty issue particularly as placed at a discount to market price and private investors did not get a look in.Philosophical that company needed quick and cheap way of raising working capital for global expansion of the company.The most recent announcements
14/01/05 13:39 UKREG Additional Listing
02/02/05 16:51 UKREG Final Results Replacement
are negative purely on sentiment alone.The first on additional listing was already in the market place and public domain since November 2003.Payment for the flagship business "Filmtek".The second Final Results needed Replacement to be correctly reported in accordance with LSE rules.Brokers advise on these things.Typing error,human error was unfortutunate,however,replacemnet was no cause for panic and would draw attention to earlier posts by Youngers - 3 Feb'05 - 11:45 - 2601 and Youngers - 3 Feb'05 - 16:45 - 2607.Additional listing was immediately proceeded by broker meeting rumoured reports and reports in the press.Final Results Replacement was exactly that,perceived as negative but imo & in reality not.Personally I feel that in an ideal world a generalised statement with explanation as to what it meant in practice for the benefits of uninitiated inexperienced investor and issued RNS including confirmation of contract win(s)in other words good news.Thought share price has been very strange and all things being equal should not have dropped below 8p let alone 7p.It is as if the market,the market markers knew that the most recent announcements were coming.Funny temporary halt to rising trend wrong footing chartists. sp dropped to critical 7p support announcement after hours Wednesday was bound to panic some holders who did not understand.Throw in the derampers and what a performance by mms down from 6.75p/7.25p to 5.5p/5.75p on sentiment for fundamentals have not really changed.Bar Stewards another name for mms when they sit and wait for holders to give away their shares so freely.It is all legal.Do not have to sell no one forcing you too.

Mach10 unable to quote margins to you as i don't have or know them.Automobile supaglass ticks along,Promarker will not be as big this year as legislation does not kick in as soon as thought.Reason for distribution discussions.The potentially big money earner is Filmtek.company make no bones about that and the real reason why I invested in the first place.Peter Mukerjee did confirm that Pentagon have favoured manufacturers of film,can move between one and others.This knocks risk factors back into touch originally raised by saucepan .PPR are therefore installers and not manufacturers for anyone who does not know.The intellectual property which PPR owns is twofold,adhesive and techniques used.Work is guaranteed depending on in accordance with manufacturer,whether inside,outside and so on.Did not bother to pursue actual time period of guarantees.The company has a stronger year end finish and constantly looking at intervening period.It is better to look upon investment as a long term.Company is actively pursuing global expansion with International sales the strategy as included in news announcements.The company has taken on board comments about private investor relations and will be looking to be making improvements.Get the impression that the company are working very hard on behalf of themselves enjoyable rewarding work,the company and shareholders .To throw doubt on the integrity of the company,PPR board any specific job title or individual within it is imho mischievous.I'm expecting another good year in 2005 building on 2004 gains and have higher expectations from 2006 onwards.mms have had their fun and taken some pounds of flesh.Charts and sp returning back to normal.Do not pretend to be anything less than enthusiastic about PPR.If derampers have panicked anyone out of PPR from 6.75p down apolgise on their behalves as they are unlikely to do so.I am not clever.Please do not trust anyone.imho,must dyor.

lex

Thanks again. Agree with your comments. MP

John,a very good morning to and ppr @ 7p/7.25p.Watch support building @ 7p.

Sellers were dumping when sp recently failed chart breakout above 7.75p and more when mms pressing panic buttons last week.There was no reason for any panic restated results read better.No time like the present to consider hopping back on board resumption of rising trend.healthy buy volumes end of last week.Illiquid share and mms now on full ask.imho.

John,7p/7.5p.

edit:disappointing dog of a share

Wouldn't mind trying to catch the bottom of these. I think I called it right when I said sell into the bounce but it's easy when you don't hold. Wish I had done so with other holdings. The spread is quite wide tho 6.0/5.25 isn't it?

all buys this morning, surely this will gather some pace on the good news released today

Any body shed some light on this share it seems to be in freefall.wouldn't pilkington owners like to bolt it on

Dum de dum

LONDON (AFX) - Pentagon Protection PLC said it won glazing protection
contracts worth over 175,000 stg from oil companies in Kazakhstan and Saudi
Arabia, and a bank in Kuwait.
Pentagon's chairman Alan Nicholl said the company has contracts of more than
1 mln stg placed in its new financial year.

Really starting to move higher now and the 3 month chart indicates a breakout.

Can't believe this has dropped to where it is. Online price have strengthened and buy limit has been cut to 250K.Could be time to buy prior to the next contract news.

Spread now 1.04/1.23 and they had about 50K on offer.Level 2 closed 4 v 1 so hopefully this is the turning point.

Another buying opportunity for us. Results should be out end of the month.

Up 14% today but still able to buy below offer.

Pentagon Protection Growing presence in the USA

Pentagon Protection plc

("Pentagon" or the "Company")

Pentagon Protection USA, LLC, ("Pentagon USA") building its presence in US
market

Pentagon Protection, the provider of enhanced glass film and anchoring systems
for greater security and blast protection, is pleased to announce that Pentagon
USA, the Company's partner in North America, continues to make strong
progress in penetrating the North American market.

Pentagon EliteTM flexible anchoring products, the Company's systems for enhanced
safety of glass, are currently being tested by a major American manufacturer.
The test regime will take the product through the rigorous small and large
missile (Dade County) tests for hurricane protection, followed by the General
Services Administration (GSA) test for blast. Completing the testing cycle will
be the Underwriters Laboratory tests, UL972 for anti intrusion and body impact.

Pentagon USA has also entered into negotiations to supply GSA controlled
buildings currently under development for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The
GSA, as the US procurement and ratings authority, has specified the use of non
invasive blast mitigation anchoring systems for installation in new offices
planned for the commission. Pentagon EliteTM flexible anchoring provides the
performance required for such systems without causing damage to the frames and
glazing structures during installation. This decision by GSA reflects a growing
confidence in the flexible anchoring range provided by Pentagon Protection.

Mr Sam ElZein, Chief Technical Officer for Pentagon USA, commented "we are
confident of positive results from the tests, with high performance ratings
anticipated. This will open up the US Federal Market to our company and give us
the impetus to complete our negotiations for major contracts with the American
Military and other Federal installations; we expect that the Pentagon EliteTM
range of anchoring products will soon become the de facto standard in this
industry. ".

Good news flow recently.Can see this as a potential takeover target.

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Pentagon Protection PLC said its US-based unit,
Pentagon Protection USA LLC, has launched an edge retention system for aluminium
entrance doors in retail stores.
The glass products firm said the system is designed specifically for the
anti-intrusion market and has already experienced strong interest from "major
retail chains".

Buying opportunity has presented itself today.

Great contract win today.

Finally bought some PPR this morning at 1.35p. If you read today's RNS there are sure to be some big contracts in the pipeine:

"...its recently launched energy efficient membrane for glazing ('membrane') is being trialled by a major UK supermarket retailer and a high profile office building in London. In these independent tests the membrane has been shown to provide a 25% reduction in energy use and the subsequent cooling costs...

"The membrane was recently exhibited at the e(2) Energy Solutions Expo in London
where it was received with great interest and from which the Company anticipates
new business to be likely."

I feel the technology that this company has developed must have a great future - that's my opinion, DYOR.

Since I posted the above, the sp has steadily gone up: now at 1.8-2.0p and looks set to stay on course.

Cheap at this price , I topped up another 100k this morning @ 1.27p, now have 600k.
Very confident with this one, and been buying since the summer on Charles Stanley recommendation.
Target 3p

Pentagon Protection wins initial 2 million pound turnkey contract
AFX


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Pentagon Protection Plc. said it has won a significant turnkey contract from an overseas government with an initial value of up to 2 million pounds.

The company said the contract, which is expected to last a minimum of 24 months and begins immediately, is to install its specialist retro-fit glass containment window film and anchoring system and window replacement at a significant number of the government's properties.

The global specialist in the supply and installation of enhanced glass protection said this is the single largest contract in its history.

'As one of the approved contractors to this overseas government, Pentagon also has the opportunity to tender for further physical security upgrades having already passed the initial pre-tender qualifications,' Chairman Alan Nicholl said.

Are they worth .2p.

0.5p TO BUY 0.3p TO SELL. YOU HAVE GOT TOBE MAD.

Its purely academic now the spread is too wide to deal.

This is going to fall further... if that is possible.

Someone sold 300k @.25 .

Long gone.

keep on selling.

Buy 50K sell 375K

The group said SDS had now been awarded a contract worth 57,000 to supply portable x-ray equipment to the Sussex Police Force.
Earlier this year SDS won a contract to supply similar equipment to the Metropolitan Police.
The second contract award has a value of 85,000 and is a further contract from the New Zealand Defence force for the supply of key anti-terrorist equipment utilising the latest technology in explosive and drug detection.

Another gov, contract, this company has the right assets to fly at a time when everyone is looking for security. This micro share will soon be a penny share.

Can't believe this is share is so unknown, I guess it goes with the territory.

Anyway I've buillt up a position of over 4m in recent weeks and intend to keep adding as this will burst into the open shortly....

Another contract, your 4 mil looking good SW

now just over 5m.

the more I look into this co the more I think it will be a global force in years to come.

the board are well connected and the x-ray contracts are coming thick and fast.

hoping to add more before this gets more widely noticed.

we have big showcase events in August and November so any of these could add a lot more contracts into the pot.

gl. if you're in.

On the move again, topped up at 45p lovely jubbly. :))

holding just under 6m now.

this share is going places, its products are in demand all over the world...

terrorist bombings, reducing carbon footprints etc etc

good intra-day reversal today with volume building nicely before hotel security alliance conferences start.

took a few more today, will look for more as conference approaches, holding just over 7.5m now.

http://www.hardmanandco.com/Research/Pentagon%20initiation.pdf

You must have a very deep pocket SW, must say long term this has got to be a company to be in, Security must be in the forefront of every large public building owners mind. The more terrorist's succede in blowing large holes in hotels ect. the more they insure against it. Hopefully the order book is filling up and more news to come soon.

the report says they have had a good response from global hotel groups, the aug conference is sold out as well.

they are also in talks with several parties for further alliances, any of which could ramp up sales quickly imho.

it goes on to say they expect further increases with news to continue.

that's good enough for me, just under 7.9m holding now.

GOOD LUCK. SW. BUT ITS NOT FOR ME.

Think the potential is there but you may be a bit over exposed SW, but good luck.

volume building with a tick up in the bid before the close.

This global hotel security rating could be a big money spinner for the co.

each hotel could be worth 150K (see past Hilton contract), with 43,000 luxury hotels worldwide you can see take up does not need to be great for PPR do develop a massive business here.

looking for .75p to be passed tomorrow on heavy volume.

could be more with a big contract..

teaser contract out today,

hardman update confirms they've already done the first hotel survey, cumberland in London.

hotel take up for PPR products and training will lead to a massive rerating ..

sp taking a nice breather today before the next leg up.

surprised the mm's didn't shake it harder, perhaps they'll do that monday if no RNS out.

0.53 to sell 0.57 to buy. today.

http://www.moneyam.com/InvestorsRoom/posts.php?tid=14368#lastread

next leg up about to develop.

lots of buying yesterday disguised by mm trickery to induce sellers.

another contract would leave them well short.

up 10% so far this afternoon.

I suspect we're not far away from news as the hotel conference finished today..

What global hotel groups attended and are intrested???

WINS jumped onto the bid to try and get stock.

still think they're short after the last rise.

13m traded today (nearly 2% of entire company).

it feels like another contract win is on its way!!!

I wondered that with the sudden jump up... lets hope so.

Blue again all of a sudden, next week could see new contract then we become a real penny share.....:))

news will see this burst out of range.

already heavy volume this week and with most people back at their desks from Monday it would be an ideal time to release an update or two.

gl.

Volume building again today, due for more news very soon imo.

search WSG, you'll see there was news today!!!!

and it took you till now to tell us!!!!!!! anyway if I new what WSG stood for I'd have a look. people get so stressy

The WSGForum has moved. For international reports, please visit http://www.internationalsexguide.info. For USA reports, please visit http://www.usasexguide

Sorry, thought everyone had seen it.

anyway some on one of the other boards spoke to PPR today and said the reason they hadn't RNS'd yet is because they're waiting on another 3rd party!!! more areas perhaps.

anyway if you go to www.hser.info and click news you'll see PPR are in Egypt at the Marriot in October with G4S...

I reckon more BIG deals are on the way with volumes building rapidly today and a break-out on the cards now.

gl.

very heavy volume late on today.

possible news tomorrow??

SW.thanks for the note on PPR.
I had a look at there site Looks interesting.They have been around for a while,but looks as though they have had a few problems(judging by the chart),which looks to be now on the up
What is the market cap?

4.5m ish.

I suspect they have done a deal with G4S and that's why they have not RNS'd the WSG Asia distribution deal, are G4S to get other parts of the world.

they are both presenting here in Egypt:-

http://www.hser.info/news

going to be a busy October for PPR, expect plenty of newsflow.

Trindad & Tobago
Indonesia
U.N
Hotel Chains

etc etc

gl.

chessplayer, have a good read of this recent coverage to get a feel for where PPR are going.

http://pentagonprotection.com/Content//Pentagon%20Brokers%20Note.pdf

big development coming out of India, govt. look to make hotels install x-ray machines and provide training to get 5 star status:-

mandatory, this should provide a big boost to PPR getting its global hotel security rating system adopted.

India looks to make Training and X-Ray machines mandatory in Top Class Hotels:-



"The deadline for implementation of the changes is September 1, 2010; the industry hopes that the ministry will soften its stance on the new requirements."

Big hike in volume today, SW could be coming soon.....

shares magazine 1st oct ppr a bid target possible .

YES .. bring it on..... christmas is looking good......:))

I decided to dip my toe in ,looks promising at the mo.

chakli, any link for that.

More good news:
See PPR news

sorry a bit late reading posts ,
this is from share mag 1st october page 12 regards to bid rumour . please note the price below is of west minister (wsg aim)
Westminster says it has several plans to
expand its offering over the next 12
months. It is keeping details under wraps
and refuses to comment on speculation
that it will start buying product designers
including Pentagon Protection
(PPR:AIM) which is rumoured to be one
of its bid targets. The share price has
recovered some lost ground since dropping
from 44.5p to 33.5p last week but
there is still a window of opportunity to
buy at depressed levels before the company
makes its next growth steps.

no news from PPR for nearly 2 months now!!!

not like them.

price has reached support level,according to chart,so any further fall would be a bad sign,I reckon

need some news desparately.

And hope that it is good!

have started to add here again, still winning contracts just less noise made about them now...

can you give us any links to the contracts? am still confident about this company.

http://www.hardmanandco.com/Research/monthly/Monthly_Nov09.pdf

Page 11 Re: WSG group...

not hugely exciting, will wait a while. thank you sw.

Interesting report SW - thanks.
Was beginning to regret having got into this one again as it's been heading in the wrong direction.

I've started adding again.

WSG seem to be in plenty of talks and will bring plenty of work to PPR I reckon.

An update would be handy though after 3 months without any contract win RNS's.

Hardman are paid by PPR so they will have spoken to PPR this month to assist with that update...

gl.

seems to be on the rise again..18% perhaps some news coming.

WSG initial bid approach way under last weeks sp.

maybe flush out another bidder..

Nice rise today, bought some at 0.37p last week simply because every now and again they announce a contract and you can make a quick 30-50% on them.

But they have been very quiet of late, either there is a nice contract coming or
another placing, roll them dice.

hope your right, been in for some time now.

RDG, also bought back into ABH at .26p another good profit to be made when new contract win. BB

BB, not interested in ABH, better off using advfn for trying to push your tips.

please yourself, doubt if anyone was interested in your buy in PPR. have a nice day.

Would not expect a rush, PPR is high risk and usually friendless apart from the odd
spike day like yesterday, the point is tha about 5-10 times a year they issue a small contract and the advfn herd chase it up and if you buy on a bad day and wait you will make a good profit, risky as always, Abh is diluted beyong help, over
500 million shares flooded the market recently, shareholders come second there.

if you take the time to look at the ABH chart instead of going off on one, you'll see it does exactly the same......

I dont rate ABH as a company let alone a chart !

It's been around for a long time promising and diluting holders in a major way, over 2 billion shares now to share the profit pot if they ever make one.

It's valuation is more than some of my favourites such as DCD, cltv, sin, spmg
which is a joke because all of these companies make money.

agree that cltv will fly one day.

PPR I suspect will shortly surprise and announce a large contract, either govt. buildings or Olympics related..

gl.

What was interesting was that the online limit to sell jumped from 100k to
2 million after that 1.5 mil trade at 0.4p.

Question is if the buyer has inside knowledge or just a slightly bigger player
has mopped up all the stock, only a 6k trade but enough to reverse the
tide on the mm positions, might buy some more at 0.41p in the morning, that's
the difference between ABH and PPR, one takes 30 million to move it and the
other just a few million to make the mm's short and vice versa.

Seeing as I've regularly made 50% profit from ABH on contract news, which is more than can be said for PPR, (i am a holder in antisipation) you make your own choice.
Regards BB

Those kind of rises will be difficult to repeat now there's another 570 million
shares added to the pot, the beauty of buying a "crap" illiquid decimal is
simply that "illiquid" so if they do announce a contract and you are already
holding you can sit back and watch others do the chasing, i say it how it is,
i hold PPR but they are crap, maybe they will prove me wrong but there's
much better penny stocks out there, take Petards..under 3 mil market cap,
profits to beat forcasts (700k), great cash generation, debt vastly reduced
and you think it had swine flu the way the punters avoid it, i could name
several others similar to that.

very heavy volume today, I suspect we have a large buyer in the market..

they've already rejected one bid approach, are we about to see someone go hostile??

the buying continues, very close to breaking upwards now..

Good news, profit on it's way.

Bought some of this today. Nice to buy below the recent placing price.

glad you have that confidence, been holding for ages but seems to have died at the mo...

Is this the last gurgle?

hope not....

Good update with a 3 mil euro contract win on the commission building, good advertising for future contracts to my mind.

Pentagon Protection Plc

('Pentagon' or 'the Group')

OPERATIONS UPDATE

Pentagon Protection Plc (AIM:PPR), glass protection and security specialists, announces the following operations update.

In the interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2010, Pentagon gave brief details of an issue that had impacted the development of the protective film business, in that during the current year, substantial management time had been devoted to resolving a warranty claim arising in the Group's subsidiary, Pentagon Protection UK Limited ("PPUK"), from the supply of film direct from a manufacturer to a Pentagon client in 2005.

It has recently become apparent to Pentagon that the Group's insurers are not likely to settle the claim in a timescale that will meet both Pentagon's and its client's requirements. Therefore, Pentagon has agreed to dispose of PPUK to Graham Bannerman, who was the CEO of Pentagon at the time the protective film in question was supplied in 2005.

Mr Bannerman will take on the responsibility for resolving the claim, freeing up the Group to continue developing its market share in the protective film business. Mr Bannerman has significant experience in the film industry and was instrumental in bringing the client to Pentagon. Therefore he is well placed to take on a project of this nature.

The consideration to be paid for PPUK is 1 plus 20% of any profits arising from the satisfactory resolution of the claim.

We are also pleased to announce the formal receipt of a major contract award from the European Commission for the installation of glazing protection to commission buildings in Brussels. The value of this contract, which was trailed in the Official Journal of the European Union in February 2010, is in excess of 3,000,000, and the award is a reflection of Pentagon's position within the international market-place.

These glazing protection works will be implemented by way of a phased programme and include the application of a high-tensile strength anti-shatter film and anchoring system.

Haytham ElZayn, Chairman , commented:

"This is a major contract win for Pentagon which should have a significant impact on next year's results. After some time tendering for the works, we are extremely pleased to have this one under our belt. Pentagon is considered a major player in providing enhanced glass protection with the retrofit application of glass containment film and various anchoring systems, and I believe securing this contract underlines this position. The disposal of Pentagon Protection UK Limited now allows us to concentrate on building on this contract win and I look forward to announcing further news on the growth of the business in the near future"

Another one hits the dust!!

Trading in Pentagon Protection's shares has been suspended at the company's request pending clarification of the Group's financial position.

Pentagon's board said it was in advanced talks with a former director and substantial shareholder of the company in respect of a potential offer for SDS Group Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and over which he has an existing debenture over the assets and a fixed charge over the shares of SDS.

"Due to the nature of the potential transaction and the parties involved, any such transaction would be a related party transaction pursuant to AIM Rule 13 and would therefore require a fair and reasonable opinion to be given by the independent directors of the Company," Pentagon said in a statement.

"Subsequent to the Business Update of the Company on 14 April 2014, the financial condition and prospects of the Group have not improved," Pentagon said.

"Irrespective of whether a transaction such as that currently under discussion with the former director is undertaken, if the Board cannot find appropriate additional short-term financing, it is likely that the Group, whether in its current form or post any disposal, the Board would need to appoint administrators to the Company."
