Disperse (cosmetics and more) has dropped the "Technology" from its name Feb04 so the epic is now DGP ( earlier DPT ), it is still AIM-listed having bought a cosmetics company Elizabeth French to further their technology placement.
Turnover is expected to be above 9m on repeat performance with some added lines. Distribution is in Warrington.
............[Some while ago another Co. used the same EPIC.]............

I agree Andy, but with v.little to get excited about, Punters won't drive the sp. If DGP had an anti-ageing cream containing tadpole extract (so the wrinkles disolved) then Punters would be in a great lather trying to buy the shares (and the cream for their wives, also).
In defence I can only say that "maybe" the 1-year graph shows a period when Management was on the acquisition trail and not doing very much about the teen/twenty creams they already own. The ages of the male Directors would make you think that they were pushing their luck to understand the minds of their target market.
I have investments in other "tech" companies (such as BPRG) which are showing similar ( and Worse) signs of ageing.

The seven signs of aging are.....
1) Company run by more than one accountant-qualified Director
2) Company products are easily understood by everyone, except Directors
3) Company technology is a University spin-off, with little recent addition
4) Company has a narrow, or 1-track position in a technology .....
5) Company has customers that have pricing-power, so a significant revenue-stream can be squeezed.
6) Company operates in the UK yet has most of its customers/operation overseas, esp if it's USA, or (worse) Australia. It is vunerable to currancy fluctuation as an eternal excuse as to profit failures.
7) Company never seems to be in the News, giving a Market Image of going nowhere. QED.
