UNIVISION, Profit up 304%. Turnover up 130%. Good long term play. (UVEL)     

oilyrag - 09 Oct 2007 07:38

Univision, is a company that has been trading on AIM for approx two years. They are in the high tech business and produce, Microprocessor CCTV Control Systems, Video Distribution Amplifiers, Fibre Optic Transmission Systems and Smart Card Access Systems in Asia and the Middle East.

2007 Results show a marked improvement upon 2006 which was also a profitable year.

Profit before tax up 304% to 1,432,423, from 354,131 in 2006.
Turnover up 130% to 8.94 million, from 3.89 million in 2006.
Earnings per share up to 0.39p per share, from 0.18p in 2006.
Order book running significantly ahead of 2006.

Overall, this looks like a good play for the investor that likes to hold for the longer term. There is also significantly high director ownership, which bodes well with many investors.

Toya - 09 Oct 2007 08:31 - 2 of 68

Thanks for the info, Oilyrag. I'll have a look at UVEL (also noticed your comment about this one on VIY, which I'm holding on to as I see it as a good long-term investment).

scotty500 - 09 Oct 2007 09:52 - 3 of 68

EPS estimates from HB

2008 0.5p
2009 0.65p

Net current assets also grow substantially driven mostly by increases in cash balances.

oilyrag - 15 Oct 2007 10:51 - 4 of 68

Malc, was that you?

oilyrag - 16 Oct 2007 19:17 - 5 of 68

Up 25% today. 10 times turnover would make this 27p per share.

This company is way undervalued, with all the work being carried out under contracts they have no employees, keeping costs down and profits up.

I love it.

Toya - 17 Oct 2007 09:42 - 6 of 68

Slight dip today Oilyrag but I'm sure nothing to worry about. I bought UVEL recently - it's in the right technological area, as you pointed out above, and it's demonstrating tremendous growth. Also, the Chairman has been stocking up this month and now holds 21.04% of the current issued share capital.

I'm expecting some long-term potential here.

oilyrag - 30 Oct 2007 18:55 - 7 of 68

Top %age gainer today up 0.75p to 0.312 mid price or 31.58%.

halifax - 30 Oct 2007 21:29 - 8 of 68

How do you like the spread?

oilyrag - 31 Oct 2007 08:15 - 9 of 68

Not a problem if it jumps 30% at a time as it seems to at the moment. For a longer term investment its totally irrelevant.

Thaimalc - 31 Oct 2007 20:01 - 10 of 68

Hi Phil I have bought today. Ivk are offering 4p a share for Belitung zinc. Take it or leave it make of that what you will.

oilyrag - 31 Oct 2007 21:30 - 11 of 68

Malc, was yours the 175,000 or the 2 million.

halifax - 31 Oct 2007 22:50 - 12 of 68

oo's

oilyrag - 01 Nov 2007 10:45 - 13 of 68

Oh bum, my top up was 0.25p above the offer. I expect some movement soon.

oilyrag - 01 Nov 2007 11:26 - 14 of 68

Oops, have I started something. Like I said before halifax, as long as it keeps jumping at 30% or so at a time the spread becomes irrelevant. Are you in yet? This could easily go to 10p very soon.

oilyrag - 01 Nov 2007 20:35 - 15 of 68

Another 2 million gone after the bell. Someone is stake building.

trader6 - 01 Nov 2007 23:07 - 16 of 68

Do you post on advfn oilyrag ?

I'm looking hard but finding it hard to find another stock as promising as Uvel with
such great prospects, if you have a 70% strike rate for getting contracts they tender for and a lot of your business is in Beijing and hey presto next years Olympic games are in Beijing and security will be one of the major priorities then i'm right in thinking there a lot of new business going to come their way.

oilyrag - 02 Nov 2007 06:51 - 17 of 68

Hi trader6, sorry no I don't post on the other side, and yes excellent long term prospects.

trader6 - 07 Nov 2007 21:36 - 18 of 68

Makes you wonder why it's so friendless at times.

Full year profits more than trebled to 1.4mil.

Eps of 0.39, trading at per of 8 for last year and even lower for this year
and it has no debt and cash in bank

Wins 70% of all tenders.

Strong growth prospects and presence in Beijing where Olympics are held next
year so sure to benefit from that.

Penny shares are booming again yet this one is lacking in support yet appears
one of the best value stocks around.

Maybe it should issue a profits warning then it will double in no time.

trader6 - 14 Nov 2007 18:27 - 19 of 68

Protected buyer shows their hand each day after the close.

Toya - 14 Nov 2007 18:40 - 20 of 68

You're right - I'd missed that!

trader6 - 15 Nov 2007 15:17 - 21 of 68

Somebody still wants to sell out of these even at a price that is just
5 times this years earnings forcast.

Seems to be no patience thesedays in penny stocks.

oilyrag - 15 Nov 2007 17:22 - 22 of 68

Another 530,000 bought after the bell.

trader6 - 15 Nov 2007 17:22 - 23 of 68

Almost everyday now the protected buyer is mopping up what stock
they can get and today was quite a large buy.

530k at 3.375p, this is building up to be quite a stakebuilding exercise
now, still a long way from 3% but it wont be if they keep buying over
a million every week.

And the beauty is you can buy cheaper than what they pay, well the
early birds tomorrow will get sub 3.25p but i dont think it will last.

Toya - 15 Nov 2007 20:05 - 24 of 68

Interesting thought that there's stakebuilding going on. Must surely filter through to the sp eventually?

I took a profit on this one a short while ago, and then bought back at too high a price. Hope it moves up again soon!

oilyrag - 16 Nov 2007 07:21 - 25 of 68

The fact that someone is risking a great deal more than me on this stock, makes me more more certain that I have made the right choice. In fact, eventually, their stakebuilding is going to help me reach my top slice point, therefore giving me a free ride. Please keep buying whoever you are. I think it may be our director friend.

trader6 - 17 Nov 2007 16:31 - 26 of 68

There seems to be a buyer and a seller in Uvel.

All of Fridays trades were buys except for the late 100k which probably
was a protected sell trade, it seems if somebody sells enough at 3p or lower
then the buyer gets filled, it's a shame these two parties cant exchange
stock because they are tugging the price forwards and backwards in the
last two weeks which of course is fustrating because it's stopping the price
reach a fair valuation of at least 4p.

trader6 - 24 Nov 2007 15:08 - 27 of 68

0.39p Eps last time, sales ahead in first quarter, extremely bullish outlook,
1.6 mil in the bank cash and you'd think this stock had the plague at the
moment at 3p offer.

Either Uvel is hiding something we dont know or it's going to be one of the
best bargains on the penny market.

oilyrag - 10 Dec 2007 12:29 - 28 of 68

UVEL, on the move today on positive buying.

oilyrag - 10 Dec 2007 14:38 - 29 of 68

Now up 28% +0.75p.

halifax - 10 Dec 2007 14:49 - 30 of 68

Spread 20%!

oilyrag - 10 Dec 2007 15:00 - 31 of 68

Its because of the large spread that it moves so quickly on a few good trades.

PapalPower - 14 Dec 2007 09:49 - 32 of 68

Not a very good set of results imo.

trader6 - 14 Dec 2007 12:02 - 33 of 68

Still better than most of the rubbish you invest in PP :-))

oilyrag - 24 Dec 2007 07:32 - 34 of 68

Merry xmas and happy new year everyone.

tipton11 - 24 Dec 2007 15:45 - 35 of 68

certainly looks good but ... the turnover or lack of one?

oilyrag - 25 Mar 2008 16:53 - 36 of 68

Take over speculation in The Daily Telegraph last week by a US based consortium. Price being quoted at 5p per share. DYOR.

oilyrag - 16 Jun 2008 09:12 - 37 of 68

The trades at mid are buys.

oilyrag - 02 Sep 2008 10:06 - 38 of 68

SP starting to build up as we approach results at end of Sept.

I would hope for at least a 3 bagger this month based on historical performance. IMO. DYOR.

Treacle28 - 20 Apr 2009 08:19 - 39 of 68

I'm in with 250,000 shares this morning. Been tracking these since they were at 1.50p last March and when there was a snippett in the Daily Telegraph about a takeover rumour at 5p.

'an article in the Telegraph reports: UniVision Engineering was unchanged at 1.50p on word it is thought to have received a GBP19m bid approach from an unnamed US suitor. The takeover proposal is thought to be in the region of 5p a share'.

http://sharecrazy.com/share2607share/share.php?disp=broker&epic=UVEL

Net Asset Value from recent results is 1.90p so the the current price levels is at a substantial discount to the Assets the company has. I think the price has only got to these levels on a lack of interest in small caps in general with most prefering a flutter on mining and banking stocks with the very volatile swings. Mr Stephen Koo (Chairman) has been buying heavily over the last 2 years with his most recent acquisition of 7,657,700 shares at 0.55p (about 45,000) on 27 Oct 08 to take his holding to 23.03%. He has also bought heavily at 2.30p and 2.50p in Oct 07. In Feb 09, the company was able to announce an extension to the loan facility with the interest payment now not due until 31 Mar 10. Also, the company has been given some significant projects during the last twelve months.

Treacle28 - 20 Apr 2009 08:44 - 40 of 68

Good timing and Up 31% already now....big correction looms imo.

Treacle28 - 20 Apr 2009 11:34 - 41 of 68

Up 69% and looking v.good...could run up to 1p.

thedouble6 - 20 Apr 2009 13:12 - 42 of 68

Looks like the takeover rumour at 5p must have been false !!?!

Treacle28 - 21 Apr 2009 11:39 - 43 of 68

1p to buy now as per prediction yesterday and well chuffed with purchase at 0.337p yesterday.

how high this can go,given this good news.

greck0 - 27 Apr 2009 10:17 - 47 of 68

Does any one have an opinion as to why this stock is tanking so much recently? It is down 20.41% today... I have taken such a hit on this, i am actually laughing.

oilyrag - 09 Feb 2010 15:53 - 48 of 68

Nice recovery starting today.

Claretdabbler - 29 Sep 2011 16:20 - 49 of 68

The management have got their chops back and shareholders will soon be dining on fillet steak! With earnings per share of 2p and a price of 0.5p,they must be the bargain of the month.

Claretdabbler - 25 Jun 2012 09:22 - 50 of 68


If my maths is correct they have gained £7.9 million[ after paying of debt]. or 2p per share.

Anders - 12 Feb 2013 14:01 - 51 of 68

Have just been looking at UVL today and noticed they are about to receive over
£10m from the sale of their shopping mall. And they have a current market cap of
around £2m only.Also the Ceo has been very busy buying shares lately and now
has 72.5% of the shares in issue.

So a confident Ceo ?

Maxo - 12 Feb 2013 23:03 - 52 of 68

72.5 per cent ?

Anders - 13 Feb 2013 09:49 - 53 of 68

hey maxo,yes this latest buy was for just 500k but he has been tucking them away
for some time now.

Claretdabbler - 14 May 2013 12:12 - 57 of 68

I have tried to point out how undervalued these shares are to no avail. Perhaps you will believe the Chairman/CEO who will be in Berkley Sq. on Thursday afternoon to
tell you why he has bought up most of them.

Claretdabbler - 22 May 2013 17:49 - 58 of 68

Did anyone go to Berkley Sq. to hear Stephen Koo [Chairman/CEO] on the 16th May?
Unfortunately I could not but would like to hear what sort of impression he made.
Shares still look very cheap.

To answer your question Mary,it looks as if soon has arrived IMHO

Claretdabbler - 04 May 2015 14:19 - 66 of 68

Hang in there Mary as it looks like we get a 1 for 1 scrip in the hived off property co.
Any comments skyhigh?

oilyrag - 02 Oct 2015 12:38 - 67 of 68

The chart looks awful on this one, but what I like is now that Leader Smart has been hived off, we can consentrate on the core business and increase those dividends that keep on coming.

Another couple of years and my investment would have paid for itsself.

And I still have the benefit of cashing in those LS options once the arbitration has been finalised.
