600k cash - topline growth 74%, forward PE of less than 5 once cashstripped out (LOQ)     

glennborthwick - 22 Aug 2006 14:46

First class interim results
top line growth 74%, yet costs only up 24%
they will have the best part of 700k cash at year end

corporate synergy note suggest eps of 2.09p for the year , current share price 17p

dollywood contract very likely
more parks very likely
no debt

LOQ must be one of the best risk reward plays out there

glen you sources are good again hope they are right. I think dollywood will be they key, we see on results before ints ending june out in november ish, I get the directors buy again if what you say is true. If results are good expansion must be on the cards in US and Europe, I would like a deal with Austrailia parks also for all year cash flow.... Sixflags annoucement is June for Q2. I hope they have enough Qbots. Agm on tuesday cant wait!

dont expect too much info until after the six flags end of june conference cal. I get the impression they never want loq to report figures before them

glennborthwick - 22 Jun 2007 09:54 - 46 of 124

possible breakout today

argos7 - 22 Jun 2007 10:10 - 47 of 124

that for sure, here we go, 250p by xmas! glen we can buy small small amounts of share in 500 a time interval thats all. six flag webcast was good not sure if sixflags focusing on other events will pull customers away from rides/qs.

glennborthwick - 22 Jun 2007 11:36 - 48 of 124

i think if the people come through the gates , thats all that matters. LOQ increased revenues 74% last eyar ona 12% drop in attendance so its a strong developing model. Interims in a couple of months should be interesting. I expect loq to be in all six flags 20 parks within three years and proably 4 or 5 other chains as well. they could easily be turning over 20 million a year and making 4 million a year profit , pe 12 means share price of 300-400p. that would be my 3 year price a target

argos7 - 22 Jun 2007 13:07 - 49 of 124

glen on the share liquid issue people that brought at 2-10p cheap, will probably think about selling giving the uncertainty of the whole market at the moment improving share volume, there are more options for directors also, spread was at 5% this morning a first! We are on the ride now!!!....

glennborthwick - 22 Jun 2007 13:30 - 50 of 124

sems like ive been on the ride since single digits. this thread started less than a year ago at my tip price of 17p so anyone who bought into the story is now up nearly 150%. there are a lot of tight holders here . evern with a vaguely fair wind it can easily be making 2 million in a couple of years time and a pe of 12, makes a share price of 150p so plenty of juice left yet

glennborthwick - 25 Jun 2007 10:02 - 51 of 124

spike to 50p today

is the word specific important - normally they just state no reason. My guess is current trading is good

oilyrag - 31 Aug 2007 07:46 - 54 of 124

Glen, can you shine any light on the sudden fall in sp. Interims seem to be in line with expectations. Is it just the current market conditions making this a buying opportunity, or is there some bad news in the background. Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

glennborthwick - 28 Jan 2008 09:15 - 55 of 124

this is still a bargain in these dire markets. just announced 500k profit on market cap of just 3 million, plus have 600k in cash in the bank, plus new parks on stream for coming season

glennborthwick - 05 Feb 2008 13:31 - 56 of 124

further good news. trial starting at drayton manor in may. market cap still around 3 million, pbt of 500k, 600k cash in the bank. rumours of hershey park possibly being added and six flags adding two new sites over the next two years. I also expect silver dollar city to add lo-q products next year. Profits next year should be 1 million so ona forward pe of 12 share prcie could be three figures against 26p now

glennborthwick - 13 Feb 2008 16:24 - 57 of 124

dont know if anyone is reaing this but more fantastic news. Legoland (merlin) have announced a new LOQ system for this year today. Market cap still minscule for these world leaders. proiftable, no debt, 600k cash in the bank..........need i go on

CyprusSteve - 17 Mar 2008 19:37 - 58 of 124

This looks good value at the present price, I think - year end results due mid to late April.
Lo-Q plc supply the Theme park and related market places with their dynamic Queuing systems.
Six Flags, Inc. is their main customer. It is the largest regional theme park company in the world.
Lo-Q plc are gaining significant traction with contract wins in Dollywood and Legoland (UK) and increasing no's of Six Flags parks (2008)

Feb '08 . Wins contract in Legoland -( Merlin Group)
Feb '08 . Text-Q trial with Drayton Manor Theme Park
Jan '08 . 2007 PBT over 500k, Cash over 600k
Jan '08 . Six Flags contract extended to 2010
Jan '08 . Another Six Flags park added
Nov '07 . Announce purchase of Q-Text
Apr '07 . Announce JV with Poximities Inc
Feb '07 . Announce contract in Dollywood Theme-park
Nov '06 . Announce expansion to 7 managed Six-Flags Parks
Also quite interesting - a VERY high proportion of shares held by Directors, which I always like to see.
Regards
Steve
