Sectorguard is a rapidly expanding company (huge increases in turnover, profits and net assets) and despite this the share price has stayed around the 2.75p level. The shares are bound to rise (in my opinion) but when? Does anyone have any opinions?

Nice one prophet, fingers crossed m8 - best of luck!

would hope to see SGD on the move again soon. We need some news to retain folks interests. I also think WGT are just about to breakout. Might be a good spring!

SectorGuard plc ('the Company')

First Acquisition of 2004

Overview:

200k acquisition of the alarm response, keyholding and mobile patrol
business of Abbott Security Services Limited
Expected to have a significant impact on the Company's bottom line
First acquisition of current year
Part of SectorGuard's active on-going expansion strategy

SectorGuard Plc, the AIM listed manned guarding solutions provider, has acquired
the alarm response, keyholding and mobile patrol business of Abbot Security
Services ('Abbott') for a cash consideration of 200,000.

SectorGuard Chief Executive David Marks said: 'Abbott has a solid reputation of
providing high quality security services with a high density of work in London.
Three years ago we acquired its manned guarding business, which has contributed
significantly to our status as a leading supplier of security services in London
and the Home Counties.

'Our strategy of acquisition is built on developing a solid client base and good
reputation. To maximise these acquisitions value, we initiate a method of
tapered payment in order to make sure that the company doesn't over pay for
assets that don't perform. With this in mind, some of our acquisitions haven't
performed as well as anticipated, which although disappointing has enabled us to
both fund this deal in cash and replace the anticipated profits from the
underperforming parts of the business.

'We remain committed to our business model of building a company through
acquisition and organic growth. We continue to explore other opportunities, to
build a company that provides comprehensive and competitive security solutions
nationally.'

SectorGuard, founded in 1998, supplies manned guarding solutions for an
expanding range of clients including Shell International, Birkbeck College, The
London Borough of Camden, CGNU and Sun Life. Its services encompass static
guards, mobile patrols and key holding and alarm response.

The company news service from the London Stock Exchange

expect sideways movement until next set of results which will be july time worth hanging onto until then

results due 26/6 should see some positive movement driven before and after results IMHO worth 5p upwards

Interim results according to SGD website will be announced on Monday 21st June.

Overview

Operating profit before amortisation up 42% to 465,888 on turnover of
7,071,631 up 56%


Net assets up 31% to 4,416,632


Appointed as preferred security services supplier to the London
Universities Purchasing Consortium


Acquisition of the keyholding and mobile patrol contracts of Abbot
Security Services on 1 April adds significantly to the mobile patrol
division.

'This first six months has produced good results with increases in turnover and
profits as well as recognition of our high client service levels with increased
organic growth and the award of preferred supplier status to the London
Universities Purchasing Consortium. The acquisition of the mobile patrol and key
holding business of Abbot Security Services on 1 April will further enhance our
service offering in London.

I am particularly pleased that we have continued to improve the quality of
service offered to clients and staff alike and maintained a high staff retention
rate during this growth phase of the Company. This is not only rewarding in the
short term but I feel it will stand us in good stead when facing the challenges
and opportunities arising from the licensing of security officers when this is
imposed on the manned guarding sector. '

not sure this is particularly good news though, 'liquidation' and 'receivership' do not exactly give me a nice warm feeling.

Nobody else looking at this then ? Looks very undervalued presently and worth a re-rating shortly !
