This stock moved from OFEX to AIM recently and the share price has dropped considerably. Today the following news was released and the shares rose. This is still under the listing price of 2.5p I believe so their is no growth factored in;

LONDON (AFX) - Aquilo PLC said it knows no reason for its share price
movement following the recent decline in the stock.
The insurance company said the fall occurred on small trading volumes, and
in the absence of any trading update or newsflow from the company since its
flotation in May.
It added it intends to bring forward the announcement of its interim results
to Sept 8 to update shareholders on progress.

If results have been bought forward to 8th Sept must be good news.
Agree will be interesting next week.

I would rather be in than out due to that fact ;-)

Well Guys, think that I have found the reason for the RNS on Thursday. That morning Shares Mag ran an article called "Taming the AIM dogs" (page 31). This is what it said
Aquilo (AQL) : Insurance claims and advisory group ( Bloker: Brewin Dolphin)
-
Dog because: Lack of newsflow since listing.
-
Finance director has resigned
-
Future: Several big corporate deals won and lots going on behind the scenes.
-
Verdict: Don't necessarily assume that no news is bad news.
-
I think that I am probably right with my assumption. All bodes well for us shareholders.


Also a small mention in the Mail on Sunday ;-)

Few early BUYs comming in now.

Online price ticking up nicely ;-)

What are these MMs doing. First they drop the price on Friday for no reason then they raise it back up. Today they drop the price but BUYs outweigh sells ! If this was put under the same type of buying pressure as CLY they would not have a bloody clue how to handle it.

I think the last few days may have seen them short of stock and needing to try and find ways to balance their books. Buy and watch them cringe ;-)

From todays RNS

Aquilo will gain by both increased revenues and reduced costs. Aquilo and Broker
Assistance are also co-operating in marketing a combination of their services as
an enhanced offering to their respective clients

Well lets look at the facts here:

1. Company issues an RNS stating there was no reason for the share price to drop. It recovers.

2. They bring forward the release of the results. I have never seen a company with bad results do this.

3. They release an RNS showing that they are cost cutting.

The above facts look very promising for the futurre of Aquilo.

(AFX UK Focus) 2004-09-01 12:34 GMT:

This one will depend on press news. Very suprised that people did not jump in as the results were excellent and the comment about moving into profitability certainly makes this a growth stock.

With a late release of results we might see an article in some papers tomorrow,well good luck to all aql holders,as the results look very encouraging.

LONDON (AFX) - Insurance support services business Aquilo PLC said it will
reach profitability by the end of 2004 but reported a wider first half net loss
of 718,209 stg from 698,860 a year earlier.
Higher loss was impacted by a rise in interest payable to 0.07 mln from
0.023 mln as well as one-off exceptionals of 100,202.
Turnover, however, rose 78 pct to 1.85 mln from 1.03 mln a year earlier as a
result of growth and acquired revenues, while gross profit rose by 117 pct to
0.883 mln stg.
"The directors see a very positive outlook for the company as they can see
the group reaching profitability by the end of 2004 and good prospects for a
profitable 2005, taking account of business prospects currently open to it," the
group said.
