First class interim results
top line growth 74%, yet costs only up 24%
they will have the best part of 700k cash at year end

corporate synergy note suggest eps of 2.09p for the year , current share price 17p

dollywood contract very likely
more parks very likely
no debt

LOQ must be one of the best risk reward plays out there

if i was you id look at LOQ - this isnt your typical ramp

here are the broad facts;

market cap 3.8 million

cash in bank 700k

maiden profit of 300k due

now heres the growth bit - from just one site managed by them and 4 licensed out they made 300k. Next year they will have 7 and probably 8 site and all self managed - profits should be 1 million putting them on a ridiculous PE once cash is stripped out of just 3!!!

see loq thread for details

cant believe the lack of discussion here about this one - its gone from 5p to 33p , and potentially could be a 200p stock given time and one more good season

another strong day. 40p looking the next target to be broken

Like argos7 says, maybe let the heat die down and wait until the company has endured a few months of little if any cashflow coming in, then there may be a bargain about March - May time next year. There is plenty of time for what appears to be a solid maiden year to show good value in share price. In fact you should be more than happy in what appears to be a 600% mark up in a year. What you have to remember is what an investor is looking for, at the moment dividend dose not exsist here and the price is more likely to go down rather than up based on profit taking. I am not knocking the company or your enthusism for it , but merely being realistic.

Sorry gb but 30p was the next target not 40. This one appears to be making the market makers a considerable sum of money every time they shift the price.

it is very interesting that there is barely 20 million shares in issue in loq which will shoot the share price up easily, when do the final results come out? Loq is a buy 4 sure but at what price? 25p?

I agree that this is a buy at some point in the near future, but then so is tmc and ggg and chp and many more. I'm hoping to get in nearer to 20p.

Trading profit has been affected by a settlement of $900,000 to Palmtop productions this year, followed by $70,000 per year, for the next three years, to avoid a protracted law suite about who owns the patent for the q bots. This has reduced 2006 trading profit to a 300,000 loss for the year. I still feel that this is one for the future and there should now be a period of time while the price drifts. Keep a lookout for buying opportunities.

I totally agree oily, as loq is making no money untill march as parks closed ish hopefully the price will fall off

Come on glen we havn't heard from you for a while, after all this is a discussion board and reflects more than one viewpoint. What are your current views with regard to LOQ, are you still as optimistic as before? Have you taken a profit yet, ready to go back in? What are your estimates for the PE ratio now after the last RNS? Looking forward to hearing from you. Oily.

Just been having a look at LOQ historically and found all the above ramping to be a bit misleading. Please forgive me if I'm wrong but as this thread suggests this was the start of new contracts for LOQ. Why then have I found SP to be well over the 100p mark in 2002 and rns's relating to 6 flag parks 4 year contract with LOQ ending in Dec 2006. I know that this has since been extended but the original information given here is inaccurate. I have just re-assessed my new entry point into this one, it is now under 10p.

sorry dont populate here - but at the site which begins adv you can see my research. The court case was a shock but is done and dusted , they would have made 300k but for it on a market cap of 4 million.

The original contract 4 years ago was for 6 then 10 parks but cash problems led it to stop at 5 of whcih 4 were run by six flags staff not loq's. Its worth noting that the site where Loq opertaed the system revenue was 50% higher than the other parks on a per capita basis.

Rumours are dollywood are keeping it for 2007 and 2 new six flags parks have been announced so 2007 they should be running 7 six flags parks and 1 dollyowwd in comparison to the 1 plus 4 in other management in 2006. ALso shapiro six flags ceo announced group sales for 2007 are running 34% ahead of last year and season ticket sales 50% ahead of last year - you can imagine the affect on attendance. Also 2006 was a very wet weekend year at the sites so comparables will be easy to beat. WIth sucha low fixed cost base 60% of the extra revenue will drop tot he bottom line and i suggest they will make at least 1 million next year and I expect the share price to triple on the back of it. COme back i 15 months time and i expect the share price to be 75p-100p

i forgive you as you are wrong oilyrag - even basic research would show that loq has been in six flags for four years. the new contract extends it from 5 (1 run by loq, 4 undermangement) to 7 and we have dollywood possibly.

argos - results end of march normally although we now know pre exceptional 600k they would have made 300k. the next interims next autumn will be the key but if you watch what shapiro says at his quarterly six flags calls you can fairly easily predict whether loq are hving a good season or not

SHARES RISE 31 CENTS
Season-pass sales up sharply at Six Flags
Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 01/13/07
Six Flags Inc., the second-biggest U.S. theme-park operator, has sold 50 percent more season passes than it ever has before by this point in the year.

Total group sales rose 34 percent compared with a year earlier, Chief Executive Officer Mark Shapiro said Friday. Season-pass and group sales account for 50 percent of attendance.

for those interested LOQUSA website has been updated yesterday to show two new locations - sf great america and la ronde (a canadian sf site). ALso dollywood is showing. With 8 parks this year they should make 1 to 1.5 million net on a market cap of less tha 4. I therefore expect a 300% rise after 2007 results in ayear and a months time.

thanks for that loq share price has had a good week, I will probably be investing soon in march. loq are also selling there q bots on the internet before hand for the parks? saves queing at the parks..... also recruiting staff i reckone loq will be a 1 be end of sept.

dollywood deal and exp
ansion confirmed - six flags expansion deal imminent (next three weeks) , maret cap still 4.5 million and these will make 1 million this summer - no brainer

loq looks a better price now after what has happened to the markets this week and loq should improve because of the so called US growth decline and holidays taken at home!

and gas prices down- look out for six flags update thursday evening. I hear season ticket sales are well up. Stron performance today for loq - up 18% - i expect finals to be out soon after sf update with new park annoucnement alongside it
