Shares Review 27th November 2003

Chelford Group (CHR)is a software company. though some services still classify it under financial services. Confused? In fact, it reversed into an AIM shell in 2000 abd has since maintained an ultra-low profile. The core business is SSl, which sells an enterprise resource planning (ERP) package that runs on Oracle. A year ago, it also bought an SAP installer buisness. Finance director Martin Anderson is comfortable with the forecasts from house broker Arbuthnot. Rapid profits growth is feasible because margins in software licences are usually close to 100%. Customers include Bank of England and the Royal Mint.

Chelford would like to buy other ERP companies whose products are falling behind the times. It is debt free, but it needs to jack up its share price to give it some bid currency. Anderson says orders are improving, hence the confidence on profits. The spread on the shares is 0.15p - but heck, this is a penny share and no-one should be buying for a quick buck.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12 January 2004



Chelford Group plc

PERIOD-END TRADING UPDATE

Chelford Group plc ("Chelford"), the IT supply chain software and services
company, today provides an update on its performance for the year to 31 December
2003.



Chelford has made good progress in 2003, achieving a significant improvement
over the preceding year. The market has remained challenging throughout the year
but is now expected to move forward more strongly in 2004.



The SSI Division has been profitable for the whole year and Chelford SAP
Solutions achieved profitability in the second half of 2003. As a result,
Chelford will have achieved a profit before tax and goodwill amortisation for
2003 as a whole. Moreover, cash flow in the second half was positive and
Chelford has ended the year with net cash of #1.35 million (2002 : #1.07
million).



2004 has started well, with order intake during the closing weeks of 2003 strong
within both the SSI and SAP Solutions divisions. Contracted orders already
account for some 70% of Chelford's operating costs for the coming year.



Trevor Lewis, Chelford's Chief Executive, stated :



"After a challenging 2003, our marketplace appears to be stabilising and the
time needed to convert potential orders into signed contracts is becoming
noticeably shorter. An improved order pipeline within both the SSI and SAP
divisions together with the strong order intake in recent weeks gives us
increased confidence for our 2004 financial year."



Chelford expects to announce its results for the year to 31 December 2003 in
mid-March 2004.

Current Price 1.5-1.65 pence.

There was a 2 million buy today at 2.1 pence late on in the afternoon.

SueHelen. I think you will find that was a sale at 2.10p, but it was only a trade sale, so should not effect the prices,interesting little share,could go places,thanks for bringing it to our attention. Bought a few today at 1.99p.

Thanks.

To think I didn't see this Thread..

I just came back from Hols I guess there's a lot of new new posters here as wel now...hello all Im Jules99..!!!

Chelford is a great tip must admit...The trend is definately up...

today was an interesting day...It appears MM's were trying to sell stock to bring price down...to entice panicky sellers, and also enabling them to BUY-off at cheap levels hence wide spread furthermore sell off at 25% profit per share.

Chelford fell today by 11% at one point BUT finished the positive up 0.3%!

MM's sleaze balls...If anyone understands demand and appetite for a stock they surely do.

Closed 2p-2.5p, as you said Suehelen could very easily be 4/5p in the next few weeks, more than I'll ever get with a ftse stock from here onwards...risk/reward element is always worth a consideration with penny stocks..

Thw trend is your freind...!


jules99.

after the last couple of days activities, It appears that the profiteering may be done now, so could see the buyers coming back again...

Great news is I found out last nite CHELFORD Group has been tipped as a major Tip for 2004 by a popular Technology Journal this month!

not bad for a 2p share.

Well done to those who got in first...jules99.

Hi Jules, The tip didn't do it much good though! I am still holding and hoping
good luck everyone!

Hi, I would wait until March before addding more. Volumes should start picking up again in March in anticipation of their expected good results.

Thanks SueHelen. I value your comments.

agree one to buy and put away at least till march ... if it falls in the meantime i wud treat it as a buying opportunity.

good luck all ..

Hi other holders--moving up this morning. Any news?

bid approach? new contract ? perhaps.

potential to rise very far from current price no doubt with the market optimistic again this little baby will reward greatly!

CHELFORD GROUP up 11% today!

making up earlier down fall...potential to rise further once all weak holders and sellers flushed out completely...

Should also get Techinvest write up this weekend
