year.

Commenting on trading for the period and outlook, David Eldridge, Alterian Chief
Executive said:

'These results are further evidence of the strength of our recurring revenue
model and our strategy of building on our successful UK offering in
international markets, focusing primarily on North America where we are making
very good progress.

Revenues in the first half have increased substantially against a stable cost
base and adoption of Alterian technology by Marketing Service Providers and
their end users has continued to be strong. Over seventy percent of these
revenues are expected to recur next year.

The outlook for the full year is positive and the Board remains firmly focused
on our financial objective of achieving earnings neutrality and satisfactory
cash flow for the full year to 31 March 2005. The compounding of our recurring
licence fee income is expected to convert into substantial profitability going
forward.'

yep

Forecast EPS :

2007/8 13.5p
2008/9 17.3p

An April write up in SCSW click here to download a copy.

Just me then.

Looks like we all missed the boat with this one, except yourself, Dil. Bummer!
Interesting though that 50% of it's revenue comes from the U.S. so 2007/8 may be a bit trickier with the high dollar.

The dollar is forecast to fall to 1.8 v GBP by year end so swings and roundabouts.

Plenty more to come methinks , chart says 260p first stop which gives a pe of just under 20 for year just started falling to 15 for next year based on current forecasts.

Sod it ... I'll come back and tell you all "i told you so" when it hits 260p .

See you soon :-)

Agree Dil - by March 2008? Nice for the ISA

Finals + agreed offer to buy Media Surface

Just when it gets interesting you've all left!
