Just put up a one year chart as the 5yr chart is wrong.

Invested here at 7p.

Acquisition of 75.14% of Star-Apic

http://www.moneyam.com/action/news/showArticle?id=4601457

Hi DC

What a laugh, just researched what I purchased per share on this company who changed its name that long ago I have forgotten. eg. Purchased on 25th July, 2007 - Quntity 2191 - cost per share 26.83 - now 6.125 minus 69.72% for me. Wish I could remember who they were then but it does not throw that up on the Hallifax Sharedealing. Who ever gets these at todays price will or could be on a winner and I am in for a long Haul. GL What is new for me, nothing. Have a good weekend.

By the way the graph is not true that they went to 90p in 2008 beause I for one would have been well and truly out so where does the graph come from??? They were not SPA then, I think it was one who I thought was going bust but came back as something else, not too long ago.

Good evening 3m, Just had a look back over the company news and on 19 Oct 10
1Spatial made its aim debut. Were they called SR Pharma plc (SPA) before the date given above? The charts are from money am.

That's the 10yr chart 3m, lets look to the future. :-))

Evening to you DC I cannot remember and it is late at night to go through hundreds of print outs to get the name they were then, believe me it now comes up as SPA on my portfollio for what it is worth and my above statement is what my account says and dates when I purchased in whatever co., it was then.

Have a look at this chart 3m, they were in the 90's in 2008.


http://www.moneyam.com/research/pricehistory.php?epic=SPA&day=&month=&year=&dayfrom=01&monthfrom=05&yearfrom=2008&dayto=24&monthto=08&yearto=2008&go=Submit

By the way it was a game then for me in those days and would have deffinitely got out if they had nearly doubled - it never happened so I beg to differ on the money a.m. chart. I will stand corrected if proven wrong.

Its the future what counts now 3m. As soon as I saw David Richards mentioned, I was invested. The performance of Wandisco takes some beating.

Yes very good DC. Being a woman I would not give up and have rooted and rooted in and out of filing cabinet and then safe and have found a print out dated 13/06/08 wth my portfolio 2191 shares at at a price of 26.8339 within 1 year of purchase they had gone down to 7.25 and they were in the name then of "Z GROUP ORD GBPO.05" so yes I am correct and they have changed their name and it is a load of bollocks that they ever went to 90p since then,firstly do you not think I would have sincerely gone. Do not believe what you read, read what you have in front of you and beleive that - still have a good weekend.

The FT has historic prices in 08 for 1spatial plc in the 90's . So there information is wrong is it ? no

Whatever - is a great saying so am I a liar????? No I am not and would have gone and not held - I shall take this up with the company as in my opinion it has never reached such great heights. I am and have been so minus for years it would have been one to go. I shall inform you on my perforance with the Company on their return to work on Tuesday. However continue to enjoy the weekend and I shall continue researching. Hope Goldfinger sees this as I am going to treat myself to some cachews - upgrading my pea nut brain. GL anyway.

Calm down. :-)) I have put a money am chart on here that you and I would expect to be accurate and you have challenged it and I'm trying to help you with an answer.
Have a go at money am, not me.

Found this chart 3m -have a look at 10yr . It does look like it challenges the money am chart. That only shows them at 7p when you said you purchased them. Lets give up .

In todays Daily Mail - Wandisco link boosts 1Spatial



Buyers were all suddenly over aim listed 1Spatial like a rash on hearing that David Richards will soon become deputy non-executive chairman.
He has a growing city fan club after bringing his co-founded software company WANDISCO to the junior market last June at 180p and seeing it rocket to trade above £10 months later. At last nights flat close of 952.5p, his near -16pc stake is worth more than £36m.
Shares of the provider of the location-based information company jumped 1.38p or 20pc to a 52 week high or 8.12p on hopes that Richards would have also subscribed for shares in yesterdays £18m placing. Some 300 million shares were placed at 6p a pop to help fund an earnings enhancing European acquisition.
Dealers heard that some of the very same institutions behind WANDISCO, including smaller company Expert Hargreave Hale, were big supporters of 1Spatial.
1Spatial is acquiring Star-Apic , a Belgium based provider of Geographic information systems software and solutions , specialising in land and infrastructure management.
Analysts believe the complementary bolt-on significantly enhances the company's capability in the rapidly growing Big Data market. Some of the worlds biggest agencies rely on 1Spatial, such as the Ordnance Survey in Britain which uses its software to update its records every day.

1Spatial aims for the stars (well, Star-Apic)

http://www.techmarketview.com/ukhotviews/archive/2013/05/24/1spatial-aims-for-the-stars-well-star-apic?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Thanks dc. I was not being funny last evening but I get very frustrated sometimes when I know I am right. Not your issue but mine!!! It was a game for me years ago but no longer as so much has gone t--s up, however maybe although I only have £500 invested and have for many years I would like to see a return before I pop my cloggs. Beautiful day today here and done too much as the weather is going to break again on Monday so I believe. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Good luck to you as you must be on a winner here.

I know 3m, you are right the money am charts are -----. I do not think David Richards for one moment would put his name to this company if it was a non performer. MVO.
Lets hope this one climbs like Wandisco has. Have a good evening 3m, the suns out as
well. :-))

Strong purchasing this morning.

David Richards appointment with all his contacts , I'm sure is playing a big part in this rise.

DC, I was interested in the chart above right as it appeared to have a gap down.

Unfortunately I don't think the chart is correct.

3m said the same skinny.

Has he been appointed yet? Still it is nice to see this rising but a long haul for me yet and I don't feel like putting anymore money into shares as I have got a lot of work to be done on my home. Sods law I will probably wish I had averaged down but one has to get their priorities right.

Money am has to get on top of this, not good enough.

Acquisition of an additional 14.86% of Star-Apic

1Spatial Plc

29 May 2013





1Spatial plc

("1Spatial" or the "Company")





Acquisition of an additional 14.86% of Star-Apic



1Spatial plc (AIM:SPA), the Spatial Big Data Company, has entered into a conditional agreement to purchase a further 14.86% of the issued share capital of Star-Apic from Meusinvest S.A ("Meusinvest"), based on the same valuation terms as the initial purchase agreement, announced on Friday 24 May of its intention to acquire 75.14% of the Company.



The additional share purchase is conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the Resolutions by the Company's shareholders at the General Meeting (to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 12 June 2013 at the offices of Brown Rudnick LLP, 8 Clifford Street, London W1S 2LQ), the completion of the Acquisition of 75.14% of Star-Apic as detailed in the Company's Circular dated 24 May and the signing of a new shareholders' agreement between the Company and Meusinvest. If the conditions are satisfied, this will take the Company's total holding in Star-Apic to 90.00%. Meusinvest will keep a 10.00% shareholding and a representative on the Board of Star-Apic.



Star-Apic is a leading European provider of Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") software and solutions, specialising in land and infrastructure management. It is headquartered in Belgium, with offices in France and the UK. Its software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. 1spatial's Directors believe Star-Apic is an important and highly complementary bolt-on acquisition for the Company, significantly enhancing the Company's capability in the rapidly growing Big Data market.



Capitalised terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Circular.

On Thursday, 1Spatial PLC (SPA:LSE) closed at 9.00, 2.60% below its 52-week high of 9.24, set on Mar 06, 2013.

STORY

Headquartered in Cambridge and with offices in Australia, Ireland and Belgium, 1Spatial’s software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. Customers include Unilever(ULVR) , Unisys (UIS:NYSE) , US Census, Ordnance Survey GB, the Brazilian Army and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Last month it appointed WANdisco chief executive officer David Richards (see page 18) as the non-executive deputy chairman, a boardroom coup.

BIG DATA PITCH

It recently tapped investors for £18 million to buy a 75% stake in Star-Apic, a Belgium-based provider of Geographic Information Systems software and solutions, specialising in land and infrastructure management. Considering that some of the world’s biggest agencies rely on 1Spatial, such as the Ordnance Survey in Britain, which uses its software to update its records every day, this looks a smart move that will significantly add to the company’s capability in the rapidly growing big data market. The fresh funds will also bolster sales and support in a new Middle East office, allow ongoing research and development and provide the firepower for more acquisitions down the line.



It’s been said in the past that 1Spatial was too early to the big data space, it struggled simply because many customers and potential clients assumed the theme was for the future, not today. But they seem to be catching up and this bodes well for the £29 million cap. It chalked-up revenues of £5.2 million last year to end January, but that figure was surpassed in this year’s first half alone, with sales jumping 146% to £6.4 million. This implies something around £12 million to £13 million for the 12 months to be confirmed when the finals are published probably next month. No forecasts are available but that could mean a break into the black.

COMPANY SAYS (Marcus Hanke, CEO)

‘Given the recent success and interest 1Spatial has seen in new markets, such as utilities, and the need to map networks and gain accurate insight into assets, Star-Apic is seen as a key acquisition opportunity, providing many benefits to support the group’s expansion plans and goals.’

this is a high risk, high reward stock which tells you all ...... instant profit of any size is unlikely, but maybe one to stick in the drawer with the premium bonds

1Spatial plc (AIM:SPA), the Spatial Big Data Company, held its General Meeting today, 12 June 2013, and all the resolutions proposed at the meeting were duly passed.



Placing



1Spatial has completed the Placing of300,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at the Placing Price of 6p per share with certain institutional investors, raising approximately £17 million of net proceeds for the Company and equating to 46.1 per cent of the enlarged issued share capital.



The new Ordinary Shares will rank equally with the existing Ordinary Shares in the Company. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for these Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which is anticipated to commence at 8.00am on 13 June 2013.



On Admission the Company will have 650,415,354 Ordinary Shares of 1p each in issue, with each share carrying the right to one vote. No shares are held in treasury. Therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company is 650,415,354. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.



Acquisition



1Spatial has completed the 90% acquisition of Star Apic, the leading European provider of Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") software and solutions.



1Spatial believes Star-Apic is an important and highly complementary bolt-on acquisition for the Company, significantly enhancing the Company's capability in the rapidly growing Big Data market.



The Directors believe that Star-Apic will provide:



· a utilities solution that can be sold into existing customers and markets as well as into new markets;

· access to new markets, such as France and North Africa;

· additional services and products to the Group's existing customer base. The Elyx software platform is built on the same core technology as 1Spatial's technology and can be integrated into the 1Spatial Management Suite easily and efficiently;

· a map publishing tool (Mercator) to produce digital and paper maps which can be added onto 1SMS; and

· additional product development resource to develop new products aligned to perceived customer needs.



Appointment of David Richards



David Richards has been appointed as deputy non-executive Chairman, effective immediately.



David is the CEO, President and co-founder of WANdisco which he founded in 2005. David brings a wealth of experience to the Board, with over 15 years' in the software industry, sitting on a number of advisory and executive boards of Silicon Valley start-up ventures.

David James Richards, 42, is, or has been in the previous five years, a Director of the following companies:

Current:

WANdisco, Inc

WANdisco International Limited

Previous:

Heffalump Limited

The Company confirms that there is no other information which is required to be disclosed pursuant to Schedule 2 paragraph (g) of the Aim Rules for Companies.



Commenting on today's news, Marcus Hanke, Chief Executive of 1Spatial said:



"I am happy to announce we have completed the Placing and subsequent Acquisition of Star-Apic. Star-Apic is seen as a key acquisition opportunity, providing many benefits to support the Group's expansion plans and goals. In addition the appointment of David Richard as deputy non-executive Chairman will bring a wealth of experience to the Board".





About Star-Apic:



Star-Apic is Belgium incorporated and a leading European provider of GIS software and solutions, specialising in infrastructure management (mainly utilities) and land management with offices in Belgium, France and the UK. Elyx, its proprietary end-to-end software solution is used to make the best use of geographic data to improve efficiencies and derive business benefits. Over the last three years, Star-Apic has successfully migrated its existing customers onto this new Elyx technology. Like 1SMS, Elyx is based on Oracle database technology. Following the acquisition, it is intended that Elyx will be updated so it can be integrated into 1SMS, thereby making use of the Group's accuracy and validation engine.



Founded 30 years ago and currently employing 110 people, Star-Apic has three product areas:



- Elyx Suite - the core product end-to-end land management and infrastructure solutions software;

- Mercator - Cartographic publishing software; and

- indoor location data centre infrastructure management software.



Mercator, a tool for the cartographic publishing of maps into digital and paper form, will be a complementary additional product which can be added into 1SMS. The Indoor location data centre software is noncore software but has value. Its value and fit into the Group will be fully assessed post acquisition.

Let us hope David Richard can turn this around, I have just dared to look at my Halifax dreadful portfolio 70.80% down overall all. Crumbs not good. I think I should have done a course in picking good companies other than a load of crap. Hey ho I am the one who made the awful selection. Not one of my shares is anywhere near what I paid for them. Glad to see you are doing okay on some of yours dc., you have made some good choices of late. What happens to shares if one dies? Not thinking of going just yet but just been thinking (were dangerous) when a woman thinks!!!!

You would leave them to who ever in your will

Cheer dc I just thought they may have frozen them (they are ice cold anyway). Had better get down to the solicitors then as they are not in my will. Perhaps I should leave them to the children, they might reach my age by the time they do anything. Joke!!!!

The solicitors will advise you 3m.

Yes will seek advice, I think I have thought of this before but can't remember so shall take it up shortly. One for the 'things to do list'. Cheers dc

They may get frozen by Halifax, as the account will be in your name.

That is also what I was thinking - a.s.a.p. enquiry to be made. Sounds like I am thinking of popping off shortly but one never knows the minute.

Are you still with us. :-)) lol

Oh! yes I am still here on the phone talking actually - my friend just checking that I am alive. ha! ha!

Anybody still following this one ??

I think this will gain a lot of interest when Richards takes his position in the company, what with so many contacts.

Up just over 8%

Just had a look at what I wrote on here on the 12th July how things altered dramatically on the 19th - still here dc.

This may well do well in time 3m. Good to see you are ok.

This may well do well in time 3m. Good to see you are ok.

1Spatial losses deepen for the full year

Mon, 01 July 2013


Data handling group 1Spatial said full year losses widened after it booked impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of 3.5m pounds.

Loss before tax widened to £4.8m in the year ended January 31st 2013 compared to a loss of £1.6m a year earlier. Revenue jumped to £12.1m during the year from £5.2m before.

CEO Marcus Hanke said the group's restructuring would enable execution of its new growth strategy

"1Spatial is entering an exciting growth phase following a successful placing to raise funds for a highly complementary acquisition as well as the future strategic development and expansion of the business."

"The company has an impressive and growing customer base and a healthy pipeline of opportunities including National Mapping Agencies and blue-chip companies. The addition of Star-Apic gives increased scale to the business as well as future growth opportunities with management will be working over the next six months to integrate the two businesses."

1Spatial said it is encouraged by the progress made during the start of the current financial year, and looks forward to the future with confidence.

A buy in this weeks IC - Save some portfolio space for 1Spatial.

Data analysis is increasingly big business and that's potentially great news for 1Spatial - which is focused on the spatial big data market. Don't worry to much about the hefty reported loss, either 1Spatial's trading businesses all made positive cash profit contributions.
1Spatial's focus is on managing data sets, accompanied by geographic co-ordinates, that are too large and complex for traditional data processing applications.
And progress looks good. Having acquired the 1Spatial business in late 2011, the new management team spent much of 2012restructuring and working on products that utilise the group's capabilities . This has culminated in the development of a new flagship geospatial product suite, 1SMS to be launched imminently.
Moreover, revenue from the 1Spatial division reached £9.7m - well up from 2011's £7.3m - and included some strategically important contract wins with major data players, such as the US Census . Broker N+1 Singer expects underlying 1Spatial revenues to increase another 20% in the current year. Operating margins should rise, too, given the group's largely fixed cost base.
N+1 Singer forecasts group-wide revenues of £18.6m for 2014, but a mere £0.1m of adjusted pre-tax profit , rising to £1.6m in 2015, giving EPS of 0.2p.


Flush with cash following May's £17m financing , and in a sub-sector with considerable growth appeal, 1Spatial has potential. Granted some of that's already priced in after a share price hike of over 300% in the past 12 months. But N+1 Singer's discounted cash-flow valuation implies fair value at 11.3p- suggesting more longer-term upside ahead.

1Spatial, the Spatial Big Data Company which manages the world's largest spatial data, is pleased to provide a trading update for the 12 months ended 31 January 2014 ahead of its full year results to be announced on 13 May 2014.

Key events that took place during the year ended 31 January 2014 were as follows:



- Raised £17.1m through an over-subscribed placing of shares to fund future growth

- Completed the strategically important acquisition of Star-Apic

- Established a world-wide organisational infrastructure

- Broadened and enhanced our core off-the-shelf product offerings and commenced the integration of Star-Apic product and service offerings into our range

*Adjusted refers to before integration, strategic and other one-off items





Marcus Hanke, Chief Executive of 1Spatial said:



"The year ended 31 January 2014 has been one of building. Our results were in line with expectations and show good growth. At the same time, we raised significant funding, completed a major acquisition and set in place the structure to support greater future growth.



We have a strong team in place and an exceptional product offering. The Company has an impressive and growing customer base and a healthy pipeline of opportunities. The Board looks forward to the future with confidence."

Shares - 1Spatial’s time is coming


It’s been said in the past that 1Spatial (SPA:AIM) was too early to the Big Data space. It struggled simply because many customers and potential clients assumed the theme was for the future, not the present. But this seems to be changing and today’s confirmation of in-line results for the year to January 2014 underscores the rapid growth potentially capable by this £44 million business.

Today’s announcement was relatively short, but sweet too. This line is encouraging: ‘The Company produced a solid performance over the year and confirms that adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) and overall results for the year will be in line with market expectations.’

Yet this bit is more important for the future: ‘The Company enters the new financial year with a strong order back-log in excess of £7 million and a significant pipeline of opportunities.’ Investors certainly like the cut of 1Spatial’s jib, the shares jumping 8% to 6.75p. This, however, remains way down on the 10.5p levels seen at the start of the year, the shares slumping as part of a wider technology sell-off.


To re-cap, 1Spatial’s software is used to create, manage, analyse and display geospatial data. Customerso includes Unilever (ULVR), Unisys, US Census, Ordnance Survey GB, the Brazilian Army, and Ordnance Survey Ireland. Tapping investors for £18 million last year to buy a 75% stake in Star-Apic, a Belgium-based provider of Geographic Information Systems software and solutions specialising in land and infrastructure management, it significantly bolster 1Spatial’s scope and scale, with sales and support teams bolstered in new Middle East offices. It also helps ongoing R&D and provides the firepower for more acquisitions down the line. It’s worth noting that the business now owns all of Star-Apic after buying the last 10% slug of the company in January this year.

Interestingly, 1Spatial is not burning cash as fast as it might, or was expected to. With £11.1 million on its books, or 25% of its market value, that’s more than the £10.8 million analysts at N+1 Singer anticipated at this stage. And that’s after the spending £600,000 for that last Star-Apic stake not expected by the City, equating to nearly £1 million cash better off.

Singer forecasts revenue of £18.6 million for the year to January, from which investors can expected rough £1.1 million of adjusted EBITDA. For the financial year to January 2015 the company is forecast to produce £24.2 million revenue and £2.8 million EBITDA.

Seem to have hit the bottom and now rebounding.

The recovery continues

glad to see it moving in the right direction but i had this from avision (i think) days and got a long way to go.,.

Lets hope it gets to your target Bb.

Another good leg up today - 6.45%
