did you sell your SOLA?
smartarse here got out of balance this morning

LOL, there is a note out today from Lemming, a cooling effect saying present price is "toppy" perhaps.........

As is to be expected, they are expanding, and as per the previous profit warning from Motech, when you expand you lose efficiency and increase waste....which hurts your PBT....

Back to LEAD, no worries with the PBT here :) and the valuation is sub x 10 going forward..........

still holding my unintentionally large holding! ...... in fact, having had a good run over the last couple of months, my holding in LEAD is now "norm" or thereabouts

Different write up of the Redknee/Leadcom deal released today.

Redknee and Leadcom Offer Latin America Converged Rating and Charging

Tuesday February 20, 7:00 am ET

Agreement Extends Redknee's Flexible Rating and Charging Solutions to Operators in Latin American Markets................................

Lively today, has anyone seen anything from India, the BSNL case should have got going again yesterday I think.

PP .... just let sp keep ticking up ..... let the lawyers have their day; they need the money!

So, now its closing time and results tomorrow, I'll go for :

Revenue nicely up last year and continuing the CAGR of around 40% year on year.

Earnings not up, but we know the factors for this, being the secondary placing increasing the shares in issue, and that this year Leadcom must pay 30% tax, compared to half that in 2005. In US cents terms it might come out roughly the same as last year, but not in sterling terms I do think.

EPS figure, I'll go for my conservative estimate above of 3.8p.

Should be at least 100m $ of firm 2007 order book in place, it would be great if they could say 110m to 120m $ already firm for 2007.

Potential order book standing at above 600m $.

Post year end event being the Bond Issue after getting the A3 rating, and cash in bank levels are good at present.

NAV per share increased upwards again.

figures will (i hope) be jolly .... was not aware they were due tomorrow, though looking back, i see they were scheduled for "late February" so close enough

Results day conference call information :

RESULTS LOOK GOOD

Very nice, better than I was hoping for.

2007 order book now at 130m $ firm, and expecting 180m $ at least.

Arik Alcalay, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

'These are impressive results for Leadcom, demonstrating again the strength of
our strategy and our ability to deliver. This is Leadcom's fourth consecutive
year presenting 40% growth in revenues, with this growth being translated into
almost every parameter. The increase in the dividend per share, on top of the
increase in the number of shares in issue, indicates to our financial strength.

2006 was an extremely important year for Leadcom. During the year we established Leadcom in India, as we have continued to build our competencies in this region of strategic importance. This entry into the Indian market represents a substantial long term opportunity for Leadcom and we are both pleased with the progress made so far and excited by the potential for our business this coming year and beyond. Already, our investment has led to orders in excess of US$20 million, which will be recognized in 2007, with the potential to grow significantly. On December 1st, 2006, our order book for 2007 stood at over US$100 million. Since then, we have already announced additional wins of over US$30 million.


It is important to be conservative when looking forward. However, Leadcom is
entering another exciting phase in its development and the outlook for 2007 is
positive. We expect the organic growth pattern experienced in 2006 to continue,
and will complement our existing growth with the ongoing search for further
earnings-enhancing opportunities. Leadcom expects revenues of at least US$180
million in 2007, with gross and operating margins in line with those of 2006. I
look forward to reporting further progress throughout the year.'

sorry to say, but the market is underwhelmed

No cynic, the momentum of the recent rise has caught up, and those traders are selling, its quite normal for results day falls on most companies if they have been rising into them......its only the ones who produce the unexpected that see results day rises.

A small consolidation before the next leg up imo.

On a current year PER of times 10, falling to times 8 next year, and thats with "conservative" forecasts.........too cheap by half for a comany putting in 40% CAGR.

It should be very obvious to most now that with 130m $ of "estimated 180 m$" revenue in 2007 in the bag by end of Feb 07, that BSNL is not in the forecasts as yet in any major way.

Ari said "conservative" - in other words confirming that 180m $ should present no problems without the BSNL big one, and if BSNL comes in then you can expect a revenue figure much higher than that for 2007.

Earnings per share held back by the increase in the No. of shares in issue, that may be responsible for the lukewarm reaction this morning. Quarterly reporting means a more regular flow of info, which imo is good.
2517

not sweating remotely ...... very nicely in the money and am happy to let it run
