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.
Chad.

Here's a snazzy website. The sort of thing we might like - modern, vision & strategy right up there, up to date etc etc!! Note news items in Autumn 2001 re Santafe & GLOBAL MARINE merger. The new proposed name for MOS sounds great but is there more to it than that?? After all there are lots of Global Marine's out there. Why would that name be chosen? Coincidence.... da da da da

Online offer size is down to 375k which is the lowest of the week,
all those sellers cleared without much damage to the shareprice,
any weakness is pounced on.

A million buy before the close, not massive money terms but
still a nice way to finish the day, lets hope for some good AGM
news on Monday.

And a 940k delayed sell just after the close too, never seen so
much 2 way action in a stockas this popular one.

Hi Stockdog...sorry please ignore my post.
There seems to be some new kid on the block with the alias mackem....who keeps popping over to my DMR thread for some reason. As he's new here he seems to be showing more enthusiam that he should.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

It worries me that this moneyam site will attract the attention of
pump and dump spammers such as suehelen or optimist23 as he is
known as on advfn, he is one of the main reasons that i no longer
post on advfn, moneyam is quiet but has respect as quality spam free
bulletin board but if this abusive pump and dump spammer is allowed to post
he could single handily ruin this bulletin board.
Advfn is a total farce, i think he has been banned over the weekend
but it's too easy to re-register as he has done to continue the spamming,
i will email Ian to express my concern that he will ruin this bulletin board.

Mackem...please I have been around on moneyam for more than 2 years now and you should go and see some of my threads here instead of trying to act the smart one.
I will continue to post on my threads the way I have even if means talking to myself....the problem lies when posters like you without chasing you appear on my threads and shout of the odds.
I don't like to boast about it...but you should go and see all my threads that I have had running here and see how everything works.
Do whatever pleases you...but I'm sure you started off throwing personal insults at me on my DMR thread on Friday with no apparent reason. It's all there. You could not display your sense of humour on the pictures that I posted on my thread.

Plenty of action today, i dont think it's insiders buying today,
i think some penny fans are having a punt before the AGM, big
shake today and now it's going back up as amongst the shake
trades the biggest was actually a buy at 0.38p.
SueHelen
You are in no position to argue a case, i and hundreds of others have
seen you operate on advfn, you buy a stock then you plague the stocks
threads with countless ramps and then still when nobody is touching it
you then spam the popular other advfn threads with more ramps, everybody
knows you are the shortest of short term trades and you are desperate to
get out of the hole you have fell in, i just hope you dont spoil this bb the same
way you do to advfn.

MOS International PLC
24 October 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 24th October 2005
MOS INTERNATIONAL PLC
AGM Statement
Noble & Co appointed as Nomad & Broker
At the Annual General Meeting of MOS International plc ('the Company' or 'MOS')
held today, Philip Wood, the Chairman, made the following comments:
'The year has been one of further progress despite the disappointment of failing
to meet our turnover target for the year to June. This was due primarily to the
cash constraints that we operate under and the integration of the acquisitions
which took longer than anticipated.
'The orders have not been lost. The current order book stands at in excess of
10 million and the Board is very optimistic that significant new orders will be
secured in the not too distant future, in both divisions. Last week Patriot
secured their second order, valued at $575,000, for PEMEX, the Mexican state oil
company.
'Since the year end the rationalisation programme has been completed and the
business and the management team have been restructured. Both divisions are
working very well with efficiency levels approaching what we expect.
'I am very pleased to announce that we have appointed new advisers, Noble & Co,
who have agreed to become Nominated Adviser and Broker to the Company.
'As I said in the Annual Report, we have made great strides forward from a near
impossible position. We can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and we
view the future with optimism.'

Thanks owl !
Buying on weakness is the key, i think 0.35p has gone now not
to return, wont be buying more unless they shake, happy with
what i've got but will add if that offer goes under 0.38 again.

Chrissie et al.
Be encouraged. From the AGM, things are looking quite good.
Biggest surprise is NIM which 'appear' have some 5M already on books for 2006 for winches, and additional xM if they can staff & finance them for this year!
Remember we need some 7M t/o to capture a possible profit in 2006...so if we got only 3M from NIM & 4M from Patriot on net margin of 15% we could see 1M profit. But today PW indicated 'in excess of 10m as orders not lost'.
Still need more clarity on what's financed already, future orders to be financed & source for this etc. However, looking good again.
(ps any offboard questions will try to give you a yes/no/don't know from AGM. golden_owl@hotmail.com)
