Thanks for the info Budd, not had time to check around today.

Whats the views on thus,is there any point in getting exited with forthcoming results,or are those of us that bought at 30 doomed?

Only doomed to be patient

Doomed, Aye doomed! does it sound a bit like Dad's Army LOL.

Even Dad's army moves faster than Thus share price !

This 'lot' are still happy to hold....well let's hope they are happy!

Columbia Ventures Corporation 9/12/2004 96,070,756 7.12%
Legal & General Investment Management 30/4/2004 53,739,011 3.98%
Prudential PLC 30/4/2004 41,142,455 3.05%
Littledown Nominees Limited 30/4/2004 40,865,000 3.03%
Goldman Sachs Group Inc 30/11/2004 40,475,523 3.00%

That certainly puts my 140k into perspective
but Iam also holding for better times

It's sink or swim for me. I'm holding and hoping.

Rampage 140K is a good sized holding , much more substantial than mine.
One point to consider in our favour is that no profit warning has been given which to me indicates that the results will be at least in 'in line' with expectations. Just my view, have been known to be wrong before..... LOL

Thus Group said EBITDA for the full year is expected to be not less than 39m on sales of about 360m against 332.4m a year earlier.

In a statement ahead of results due May 23rd, the company said: 'The group is expected to deliver its first full financial year of positive free cash flow....with an improvement expected in the second half compared to the first.'

Some good news at last

Good news indeed
Good luck to all long term holders

I first bought these when they came to market at 8.00 plus!! Have hung on in hope ever since adding a small holding to try to average. Do other holders feel it's time to start accumulating as it does sound as though they are through the worst. fingers crossed!

High asset value, more new contracts and start of making money should all be good for Thus IMO.

Listened to the conference call today. Representative from Morgan Stanley asked an idiotic question about refinancing to put Allen on the wrong foot this morning followed by another idiot moaning about the drop from 8 a share .. hope that was not you moneyplus!

No not me--I take it on the chin!! still hope for a recovery sometime though. cheers MP

"In a pre-close trading update for the year to the end of March, Thus heralded the expected results - scheduled to be announced on 23 May - as a "confidence booster at a difficult time for the industry"."

I hadn't noticed this statement before. Saw it in the Scotsman this morning.
Most confident statement I have heard from a telco for some while.

To THUS holders every bit of info I'm sure is welcome.
A few lines from an article in The Scotsman:

But the performance of Thuss share price remains of serious concern to Allan.
Shares closed up half-a-penny at 14.25p on Friday, but remain a way off the year-high of 35p hit last March. Allan is known to be extremely frustrated with the performance of Thuss shares, and believes many in the City dont realise the true value of the company.

Then-- it's up to him to get on with pushing out the reasons he thinks it's undervalued
we long term holders have faith but it's down to those running the company to wake up the analysts and big city dealers. Without positive promotion the shares could languish in the doldroms for years!
