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.

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.
