Waterline LTD set to gush profits? (WTL)     

Paulo2 - 21 Mar 2006 08:49

Listed on AIM July 2005 raising 2 million for aquisitions, debt payments and general working capital. Waterline Ltd is a one-stop kitchen shop for retailers and builders.

Long history as a profitable business since 1985 and charts suggest we've hit the bottom.

www.waterline.co.uk
www.danielstewart.co.uk for the prospectus

Major Shareholders

Michael Lawrence 56.6%
Frank Tiller 24.3%
Rathbone Investments 9.1%
New Star Asset 3.3%

Leaves less than 1 million shares in free float. Tightly held.

Sales growth is maturing and margins are holding steady at around 23%. Company has enough spare cash to start a dividend policy which i expect to be announced with their maiden results.

BUT perhaps most importantly there were some very large director buys on March 20.
