Now that we all know what the prospects for MOS are i.e. damn good, thought I'd get a new thread going and just highlight MOS' attractions for any new investors.

Key highlights:

* Significant progress made, rationalisation programme almost complete

* Acquisitions integrated well

* International marketing network established

* Record order books, enquiry levels high, several new customers won

* Recent Director buys

From the Chairman's statement:

Outlook

Over the past year the management team has extended the product range, put in
place in-house manufacturing, rationalised the existing business and greatly
expanded the marketing effort, opening up significant new markets to MOS
products. Once the acquisitions have been fully integrated MOS will offer a
wider product range to a broader market and have a much reduced cost base. We
have record order books, we have attracted major new customers and we are
targeting new markets, worldwide. Overall, we have made good progress and the
outlook remains extremely positive.

Trading Update

MOS International PLC ('MOS'), the oilfield services company, announces that
trading is in line with market expectations. TURNOVER FOR THE YEAR TO 31st MARCH 2005 IS EXPECTED TO BE CIRCA 10M COMPARED WITH 1.05M IN THE YEAR TO 31st MARCH 2004.

MOS currently has an order book in excess of 7m for delivery prior to the year
end.

The recent acquisitions have integrated well, the rationalisation programme at
MOS is almost complete and that at Ansell Jones will be completed in this
financial year.

Tender and enquiry levels remain high and the Board is positive regarding the
future. Significant progress has been made and the business is well on the road
to recovery, with turnover forecast to show a further considerable increase, in
the next financial year.

On a turnover of 10million with a profit of say 1million, this company is on a P/E ratio of just 8 (market cap being around 8million at present). This company has been overlooked by the institutions and investors alike and is due a big re-rating soon IMHO. DYOR as usual.

Chrissie,

Rang Baker Tilley to make a booking. They're gonna get back later.
Stuart Pearson is I think engaged elsewhere - LGB shares suspended.
(More likely good news than bad re Assets).
MOI up 53.8% today!!! 0.60 was last trade but with spread of 0.37-0.41 don't think it will last long - we'll see.

strange that deal only 50000 too

back to normal trading now

Owl

So pleased you're going!

and something to while away the time while MOI sp drops...

http://www.abbotgroup.com/ (see 2 interview clips with Mr Locke).

Average age of oil engineer: 55 !! Give me something to do in 13 year's time.
Only 200 new O.E graduates per year!

From Annual report, there are some 60M worth of share options mostly exercisable at either 0.73p or 4p from Sept 2007-2014. Of these Mr Wild, Mr Findlay & Mr Wood have some 40M. That's the investment horizon for MOI and also reason why results will likely be announced end Sept each year.

Very hard to spot any stocks with good online quotes but Moi at
0.34-0.36p is a rare one after it's drop, who knows where it is
going but you can sell 1.5mil at 0.35p mid price and buy just 500k
at 0.36p so it could bounce back.

wow...0.36p bid and offer...take your pick...

i got more at 0.036 could be the low line but also watching too buy at 0.025 as OWL possibly mentioned

We'll we're a bit slow over here but as it's not news anymore, look at res 9 pg 41of your accounts. To approve change of name to 'Global Marine Energy' at AGM 24th.
1Mx better.
Excited now Chrissie? No more MOI jokes! Let's shed MOS history and get rockin'...with a new brand.

gbe owl

I like the new name very much, especially the "Global" bit!

Nothing in IC this week, maybe after the AGM will be best anyway.

Bought 1 million on the dip when the online quotes were good.

Might need to raise more funds in the future but long term prospects
remain excellent, worth buying on any weakness if you can hold
med/long term.

Just a matter of waiting. It will turn good.

With the chairman putting 700k of his own money at 0.4p to
inject needed funds recently you have to be confident of a
long term delivery of the business.
So with the price still below this .4p there should always be support
on any weakness.

MOS International plc

Issue of Equity

Chairman invests #700,000 in Company

MOS International plc, the oilfield services business, is pleased to announce
that it has placed 175,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.025p at 0.40p per share
raising funds of #700,000. The funds raised will be used as additional working
capital for the Company.

This is a discount of 2.4% to the closing price on Friday 30th September 2005.

The monies have been invested by Philip Wood, Executive Chairman of MOS
International plc. Philip is now beneficially interested in 176,500,000 ordinary
shares representing 12.29% of the Company's issued share capital.

selling is from Montogmery who they had to do the convertible note with, they are getting shares at .3p and happy to sell them at .35!

16 million is not a lot of stock to shift when the share price 0.35-0.4p.

Just looking at the trades on the 12-14th there was quite a few large
block sells so if they are Montgomery then they have very little left to
shift.

My instinct is that if PW was buying stock to show willing, he could have done it with a lot less than 700k - so I take comfort that he believes his money will be well spent. However, the market appears to disagree with me for the moment.

sd

The current slightly crooked AIM market is causing caution to some
of the better stocks to attract negative comments.
Moi seems to be upfront and honest with current business and future
finance plans.
Unfortunately most AIM stocks have suffered as some or should i say
a lot of them have basically fleeced investors with bullshit and great
trading prospects only to suddenly announce desperate funding plans
at massive discounts to their share prices, now the Chairman putting
700k of his own money in MOI suggest that the long term prospects
are excellent, it's the only way to get a substantial stake on the cheap.
The share price hit 0.5p on this news but is now below 0.4pso any weakness
from here as i said before is a buying opportunity.

So what's going on today then, numerous sells and many below
the bid and the price is actially up, the mm's must know it's this
Montgomery person because they would not take all this stock
and keep the price up or maybe there's a protected buyer sniffing around.
