Beat this for cheapness. This company are an Isaeli based human resources company. They develop software and provide consultancy services.

Market cap is 0.6M. Cash = 0.75M. Net tangible asset value = 1.5M

Reports quarterly. 3Q results announced yesterday.
http://www.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200411301522558317F.html

For the 9 month period pre-tax profit of 185K. So around 250K for the full year. Business is improving now.

No pension issues.

Market cap is absolutely tiny for the size, and proftability, of the business.

No info. but sounds hopeful. Waiting for more info!

WERE IN SHARE MAG APR 3YRS AGO PRIOR TO THEM SPLITTING WITH PAIT MEDIA
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DOWN @THIS LEVEL SINCE SPLIT 2002IN MARCH OF SAME YEAR

Beasties, I think you're broker was pulling your leg. This share is not suspended as you can see from the trades today.

People still buying--no selling!!

OK so wheres the catch here. The valuation looks wrong.
How many market makers are there?

I cant see a catch apart from the spread and the very poor liquidity. Also company is based mainly in Israel although the risks are probably imagined more than anything.

Going back through the last 3 quarters the pre-tax profits are:
Q1 profit = 58K
Q2 profit = 7K
Q3 profit = 120K

The real bull case here is based on the Q3 performance. Is it a one off or the start of a trend? If you annualise Q3 profits you get FY pre-tax profit of 480K. That gives around 300K after tax. For a tech company with strong balance sheet then that implies a market cap of at least 3M or 12p a share. S a possible 3-bagger.

Q4 results eagerly awaited in mid-March. I dont think the market has caught on to the significance of Q3 performance. Or perhaps waiting to see decent cash flow.

But how do you trade. My broker Comdirect dont recognise PIA

I have held these for years since before the split from PilatMedia and PIA was considered the better company. The price of Pilat Media went up and poor old PIA was just ignored! Hopefully this is about to be corrected and I for one will be well pleased I held. I did try to put my share certificate in Comdirect and they sent it back because of limited market makers in the shares I think. I originally bought through Gerrards and will have to sell through them and pay the higher price!!

Good posts on ADVFN. Market cap is 3M US dollars (equivalent to 1.6M UK) in Tel-Aviv but only 1M on LSE

Price up further in Tel Aviv on Sunday and again this morning. Now 0.62 Shekels which equates to 7.5 pence.

Slow over here or what?? The share will wake up eventually-I hope.

I did buy this morning finally.

GB, what price did you get in at, where do you see it going from here??
Cheers HM

Im holding on for 15p-20p. I have noted the final results are due in less than 2 months.

I only wish i'd started reading this one on the 2nd of Dec. Well spotted rangers99!!

they appear to have come to life this week having moved from 0.09.5 upto 0.15p this week but fell back on friday I think it been due to American markets on Thurs night but did not recover Friday

results were very good and I think the company is still undervalued. I read in the last results they were moving to get their shares accepted by crest so hopefully sqauregain will soon trade them. I'm happy holding though I expect they will drift back to sleep again until the bigger boys notice them or the US investors pile in. prospects are excellent so patience is needed!

Anyone still holding this one. Currrent market cap 2.9M. Pre-tax profit of approx 0.3M at the 9 month stage is well up on the previous year. Q4 still to come which was the strongest last year. Final results in April

still holding--yawn!!
