Bought in today... have missed out on the impressive gains so far but solid progress is being made here and a good story developing so it looks good for more gains in the near future (imho)....
Quindell Portfolio, the brand extension company, says trading has continued positively in the period under review, building on the strong performance delivered by the Group in the first half.
The company expects to be significantly ahead of market expectations for the 15 month period ending 31 December 2011.
The Group announced back in October that it had won contracts with six established brands and one exciting new digital brand within the insurance, telecoms and utilities sectors, including for the first time, solar energy; and that revenues for 2011 were expected to be ahead of market expectations.
Since then, the Group has won further major contracts with established brands within the telecoms, utilities, on-line education and insurance sectors for both its technology enabled business process outsourcing division and software solutions division.
In aggregate, these contract wins could contribute over £6 million of annualised revenues. In addition, the Group has acquired two further businesses, Maine Finance and, most recently, Mobile Doctors Group Plc.
Margin performance has also been strong and, for 2011, margins are expected to be between 35 and 40 per cent. within its technology enabled business process outsourcing operations

SHAREHOLDER CIRCULAR CORRECTION
from the transcript :-
"It is noted on page 6 of the Circular that the profits attributable to the Professional Services Division were stated as follows:
"During the financial year ended 31 December 2013, the profits before tax generated by the Professional Services Division contributed in aggregate £82,500,0001 to the Group. During the six months ended 30 June 2014, the profits before tax generated by the Professional Services Division contributed in aggregate £113,400,0002."
The Board has noted that there was a failure to fully transcribe profits related to entities forming part of the Disposal as disclosed in the Circular (predominantly in respect of iSaaS Technology Limited and Intelligent Claims Management Limited, entities previously included within the Company's "Digital Solutions" division in historic financial information). As a result, the corrected total profits attributable to the Professional Services Division are as follows:
"During the financial year ended 31 December 2013, the profits before tax generated by the Professional Services Division contributed in aggregate
£96,000,0001 to the Group. During the six months ended 30 June 2014, the profits before tax generated by the Professional Services Division contributed in aggregate
£130,700,000 2.""

I really can't see the point in duplicating the same post on both
the QPP threads and don't understand the relevance of the other
thread. I think Cynic's comments about its relevance or irrelevance
some time ago were spot on.

Off Topic
Opinion: No Opinion
Price: 130.25
Today 13:55THIS IS NOT ADVICE: its my personal opinion and I apologise for the ramble that's coming.
I have invested around £120k and have an average of £1.42: if I have made bad decisions.....this will be devastating (to put it into the context of your own commitments).
My first dip into QPP was a couple of weeks before Gotham. I invested not because of the hype, but the fundamentals, audited numbers, margins, contract wins and above all....then end-to-end technology and services play. I work in the technology field and to me it was a no-brainer business model. I knew nothing of Rob Terry (my fault) and wasnt bothered about the bit parts of scaffolding etc.
Fast forward 12 painful months: my initial investment around £5.40 (today's money)......has been averaged down to £1.42 DESPITE the hammering of the last year (or maybe BECAUSE of it). NONE of the original reasons I invested have changed...........
So now I have a choice: vote NO, try and make the company limp forward, and continue with more manipulation. This is great for traders and those who have the skills/knowledge to trade. I dont. I'm an investor.
Or vote YES. Take the return of capital (lets say £1/share) and hold my shares in a new technology business which has cash in the bank, is debt-free, is profitable, will have future revenues from NIHL cases, has world-classs clients, is opening in the US, has already opened in Canada and had its biggest day of sales in the company's history as this all kicks in..........has no doubt new contracts which have not been announced (a major NA car maker has been named in rumours), is in an industry where the EC has directed that all new cars from Sept (?) must have telematics built-in.......
For me personally.....I think I'm now happier than I was on Wednesday, when I felt sick to my stomach when the shares were suspended and I had a migraine all day.....in fact: I'm absolutely looking forward to this new direction.
Just one simple guy's opinion. Im not an accountant and I dont talk numbers......I hope this helps in some way.

Board Appointment
On 30 March 2015, Quindell Plc (AIM: QPP.L) announced the proposed sale of its Professional Services Division to Slater and Gordon Limited ("Slater and Gordon") and certain Board changes that would follow completion of that disposal ("Completion"). Completion is conditional on, inter alia, approval from the Company's shareholders, the Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority.
The Company now announces that Mark Williams will become Group Finance Director and will join the Board with effect from Completion. Mr Williams has been working as an integral member of the consultancy team appointed to assist the Board in January 2015.
As part of these changes, the Company confirms that Laurence Moorse, the outgoing Group Finance Director, will step down from the Board at Completion but will remain available to the Board and the finance team to provide an orderly handover.
In addition, the Company has commenced an external and internal search process for the Group Chief Executive Officer role, which will be vacant on Completion because, as previously announced, Robert Fielding will transfer to Slater and Gordon.
Commenting on the forthcoming appointment, Richard Rose, Non-executive Chairman Designate, said: "Mark has been working with the Group for a number of months and has been assisting the Board on a number of work streams. This experience will help him hit the ground running and we are delighted to welcome Mark to this new phase in the Company's history."
Information required under paragraph (g) of Schedule 2 of the AIM Rules will be made at the time of the formal appointment of Mr Williams.

Quob Park Estate Intends to Vote ‘YES’ At The Quindell EGM
On Friday 17th April 2015, Quindell PLC (QPP.L) will be asking its shareholders to agree to the disposal of its Professional Services division (including related technology assets) to Australian legal firm Slater & Gordon for an initial circa £637 million.
The disposal should see an initial £500 million returned to shareholders, as well as a share of future revenue from its circa 53,000 industrial deafness cases, which we suggest could easily be worth another £150m to Quindell shareholders under the terms of the proposed Slater & Gordon deal. As a core shareholder of Quindell, we at Quob Park Estate intend to vote ‘Yes' to the proposition.
We view the deal as undervalued, based on a circa 7 x PE of the Road Traffic Accident related work of Quindell whilst Slater and Gordon trades on circa 21x PE. Incidentally Quindell itself should have been able to attract a similar multiple and would have meant that those assets being sold alone would have effectively supported the total peak valuation of Quindell of £2.4 billion, even without the upside from Noise Induced Hearing Loss work.
Considering both the unprecedented shorting attack that the company and shareholders have endured over the past year and the ability of the management and future board structure that is now to be in place to deliver on this underlying value, we consider the proposed agreement to be in the best interests of Quindell shareholders at this juncture.
The question remains however as to what Quindell will be worth following the disposal.
Our founder and Chief Executive, Rob Terry may be better placed than most to shed some light on what the remainder of Quindell is worth and will provide an update on his view in the near future (post the EGM vote) as to why Quindell should currently attract a valuation of £2.00+ per share, assuming the absence of shorters affecting the share price.
Quob Park Estate are working with and investing in a number of companies that are focused on the benefits of Digital Disruption. Whilst remaining private equity focused, in the future we will open our doors to retail investors and will be providing our view on the valuations of a number of our other investments including Daniel Stewart (DAN.L).

If at the EGM the vote goes to YES
Expectations of about £1.13p cash return to shareholders ( company says : " in excess of £1 per share")
EGM a vote to agree to the disposal of its Professional Services division (including related technology assets) to Australian legal firmSlater & Gordon for an initial circa £637 million.
If the sale goes through. £637m for 440m shareholders is £1.44 ignoring any other businesses
-------------------------
30 March 2015
Highlights
· £637 million to be paid in cash at completion;
· Deferred cash consideration of 50 per cent share of net fees from the settlement of NIHL cases transferred on completion (as at 29 March 2015, the Company was acting for clients in respect of approximately 53,000 NIHL cases);
· Majority of cash proceeds from the Disposal to fund substantial return of capital to Shareholders, expected in the second half of 2015 - precise amount of any distribution to Shareholders has not yet been determined but the Directors expect that, in aggregate, the initial tranche will be up to £500 million (representing in excess of £1 per share); further cash distributions dependent on the deferred cash consideration, business disposals of non-core businesses and underlying performance;
· Following the Disposal (if completed), Quindell will comprise a range of insurance related technology businesses with strong growth potential.
· The Board will take appropriate action to deliver shareholder value from non-core assets.

from the Telegraph tonight >>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Rob Terry, the founder of Quindell who was ousted from its board last year, has weighed in on the £637m deal the insurance outsourcer has struck with Australian law firm Slater & Gordon.
Shareholders are due to vote on the disposal of Quindell’s legal business on Friday. The sale will see £500m returned to beleaguered investors in the Aim-listed company.
In the latest twist in developments at Quindell, Quob Park Estate, a little-known investment vehicle that describes Mr Terry as its founder and chief executive, has claimed that it is a “core shareholder of Quindell”. It added that while it believes the Slater & Gordon deal is “undervalued”, it intended to back the disposal at Friday’s shareholder meeting.
Documents filed with Companies House show that Mr Terry is a director of Quob.
In a blog post published on Quob’s website earlier this week, the firm claimed that Quindell’s shares should be worth more than 200p, much higher than tonight’s closing price of 131½p.
Mr Terry had been Quindell chairman until last November, when he was forced from the board following a share dealing controversy. He sold-down his Quindell stake just weeks later to less than 3pc, which meant he could offload the rest without informing the market.
Quindell has not issued any stock exchange filings indicating that Quob is an investor in the company.
However, Daniel Stewart, the stockbroker in which Mr Terry recently bought shares, on Thursday revealed that he had raised his stake to 8.994pc through Quob. The broker added that Mr Terry was seeking permission from the FinancialConduct Authority to lift his shareholding above 10pc.
Quob, which said it plans to open itself up to retail investors, did not return requests for comment, and a spokesman for Quindell declined to comment.

Quindell and the shadow of Rob Terry
April 17, 2015
Greets Uncategorized Quindell Echo, Quindell Information, Quob, Rob Terry
Today we have the EGM vote at 10.00am and expect an RNS later in the morning with an announcement that the sale has been agreed.
Rob Terry, who has nothing to do with Quindell, other than owning a few shares, has announced that post the EGM he will state why he believes the Quindell share price should be £2+.
So what’s happening with regard to Rob Terry’s interest in Quindell?
1. RT has stated that he will be voting yes at the EGM. Why would he vote yes when he has also stated that Slater and Gordon are getting a bargain?
It would make sense to vote no if you thought the asset had a greater value. Could it be because RT wants the returned capital to use as part of his ‘overall’ investment strategy?
2. Rob Terry recently rebranded / re-launched his investment vehicle Quob Park Estate. The focus of Quob Park Estate is to invest and work with businesses that benefit from digital disruption.
The Quindell business model is based on digital disruption.
3. Rob Terry according to the shares register only has c1m shares in Quindell. Would he waste his time making a statement after the EGM about Quindell if he only has c1m shares?
How many shares does he actually have control over when you add family, friends, past Directors and Quob holdings?
4. Why is Quob using a variant of the Quindell logo as its logo? Quindell have registered the leaf logo.
5. Rob Terry via Quob Park Estate has acquired 8.994% of Daniel Stewart Securities. Daniel Stewart having previously been the Quindell NOMAD. Is the intention to reverse Quob into Dan to gain an AIM listing?
Why would RT mention that his target is to secure more stock in Daniel Stewart before the sp rises above 4.5p? This is very strange when the sp is currently 1.3p.
Something is going on and those that invested in Daniel Stewart over the last few weeks have made significant returns.
6. Why is Rob Terry tweeting about Quindell?
I’m not the sharpest knife in the box but even I can see Rob Terry has more cards to play with regard to his interest in Quindell.
As the telematics develops I’m sure all will become clear.
Will Quindell with their RNS about the Slater and Gordon vote, pre-empt the post EGM Rob Terry announcement by providing at the same time more information about the remaining businesses potential?
