I have been holding this share for a long time. Glad to see it beginning to pay me back for my patience.

Recently had a placing which was over subscribed. Nice to see the ratio of B/s with rising price, but would like to have a heavy volume, but I think by the end of to-day we will see the Volumes go up.

barnymam - 15 Feb 2005 04:59 - 3 of 301

Fred, expect volumes on this one to increase a lot. It has true potential and we will see in the next month or so strong rises on this one.

Target 50p+.

PapalPower - 15 Mar 2005 05:02 - 14 of 301

Published: March 2005
By Cliff Feltham, Companies Correspondent

Having snatched the rights to screen the Boat Race from BBC, ITV is pulling out all the stops to make Sunday's event a hit with viewers; special close-ups of the straining teams will be shown for the first time.

One company hoping the result is a big success is Vislink, the communications and CCTV group, headed by entrepreneur Bob Morton.

Vislink is a supplier of the high tech wireless camera systems that go into outside broadcast equipment which is being trialled by ITV at the weekend.

Vislink has a growing business in the UK and the US with broker Investec today looking for a sharp increase in sales and profits for 2005. Morton, with interests in half a dozen quoted companies, has called Vislink his jewel in the crown.

Vislink yesterday reported fairly unexciting figures for 2004 with sales of 67 million depressed by the weak dollar and profits mauled by goodwill write-offs and various restructuring charges.

But Morton kick-started the new year with the acquisition of Link Research, a key supplier of the high tech equipment that goes into wireless camera systems. Watford based Link, set up by brothers David and Len Mann, has been earning juicy margins on sales of its systems.

Now those profits will drop in Vislinks lap. But the real prize is in the US where Link can be bolted on to Vislinks existing business, Microwave Radio Communications.

A programme of change, known as the 2GHz relocation project, requires US broadcasters to convert to digital equipment and relocate their radio transmissions to a higher frequency.

This means that they will have to scrap all their existing radio equipment and buy a new generation of equipment from companies like Microwave Radio Communications. It has already picked up an initial order worth $30 million.

Some of the estimates of likely orders are mouth-watering with up to 3,500 different units of radio equipment needing to be replaced at a total cost of between $100 million and $120 million.

Other parts of the business should see improved prospects, particularly CCTV equipment for the Norwegian oil and gas market. Investec sees greater profits in the second half as deliveries reach customers with an overall outcome of 5.4 million profits on sales of 85 million.

At current levels of 29.5p valuing the group at 40 million, the shares are selling on 12 times 2005 forecast earnings.

PapalPower - 30 Mar 2005 02:05 - 17 of 301

Hernis doing well, and Link is looking very good.

We should also be getting news soon on more US contracts.

PpP: Your reference to bottom feeders has come up on my radar so I am coming over for a look.

PapalPower - 03 May 2005 09:27 - 21 of 301

squidd, it looks like the bottom is done and the buy signal there. I would expect news very soon, could be another large US contract win. I have stuck my neck out on this one and expect mid September that it will be more than 50p after the return to profits is confirmed at the interims early September.

squidd - 03 May 2005 10:46 - 22 of 301

PpP: Have been distracted by my other favourite recovery stock - ELA - now my biggest holding after this morning's rise. However, thanks for the update on VLK which I am researching, though I don't think I can come up with very much before the weekend.
sd.

squidd - 09 May 2005 21:12 - 23 of 301

PapalPower: It's been a good day for the PpP portfolio with APH up 3.9% and
VLK up 2.9% - hope others are watching and comparing to the ASC challenge.
I've had mixed feedback on VLK; my contact expects good growth from the wireless camera division, which incidentally looks excellent on their website, but only modest growth from the group as a whole. This though is just one opinion.
For my part, I'm keeping about 50% cash in case the debt mountain implodes and mainly interested in recovery stocks, so from your portfolio UNG, OSH and APH join ELA and others on my watch list.
sd.

PapalPower - 10 May 2005 06:28 - 24 of 301

Squid, I have been happy with the news from APH we had some more just recently and some strong buying yesterday. ELA is turning up. VLK is turning up and you are right there, the extra good news is to be from Link but that is also with finally a good performance from Vislink as well, adding the Link extras into a good year for Vislink group means VLK will be going up probably peaking in price around October. Many people are sceptics of VLK now, IMHO this year they will prove the sceptics wrong.

UNG remains a strong buy, the market is just waiting for proof of performance at the next results. OSH remains unbelievably low and has all the bad news and more and yet more factored in, which is very unfair (good oportunity). They have taken good action (closed some loss making practices and restructered the debt such that provided interest rates remain below 8% they are fine and have extra money now to work with that was paying back the interest)

I see VLK and OSH and UNG and APH and ELA outperforming the market between now and the year end.

PapalPower - 13 May 2005 07:56 - 25 of 301

We have had some shorters burnt on VLK as they are trying to drive the price down to get in low and make the most of going long on what will be Vislinks best year for a long long time. Vislink is a strong buy in my opinion and buying volume will increase as we go through May and June.

Dividend of 0.2p later in June.

Annual General Meeting trading update - Wednesday 25th May 2005

Vislink plc ('the Group'), the leading supplier of microwave radio and satellite transmission products for the broadcast and security markets and of CCTV systems for the marine security market, held its Annual General Meeting today.

The Chief Executive Ian Scott-Gall made the following announcement to the shareholders present at the meeting.

The Group has made a promising start to the year. The Group's trading is in line with expectations and is significantly ahead of the previous year. The order inflow has been particularly good for MRC in the domestic US markets and for Hernis in its marine safety market. The Board is pleased to announce that MRC has been awarded an order in excess of $4 million for its TSSR US military radios.

Link Research Limited, which was acquired by the Group on February 11th 2005,
has made a good start. Link has now been accepted on the 2GHz programme as a supplier for wireless camera systems and continues to win new business. Its new
video cellular diversity wireless camera system was used for the first time to provide coverage for the recent University Boat Race.

The UK business is now seeing stronger international demand although the market has remained competitive. The large contract in Venezuela is expected to benefit the second half of the year with completion in the fourth quarter.

Hernis has made an encouraging start to the year with orders and operating profits in line with expectations. Hernis has seen growth in its Far East
markets with significant orders for both marine and offshore oil and gas projects.

In summary, the Board is encouraged by the current level of trading and looks forward to the rest of the year with enthusiasm and confidence.

PpP: I agree with you and it's good to see those splashes of blue in the PpP portfolio. But the ELA chart, with today's rise is telling me to stick to recovery stocks, so my main hope from your list is still APH to which I will probably add in due course. Thanks again for all the research you are posting.

Am looking hard at YOO which looks like a disaster area that might recover.

Vislink puts bad year behind it
Wed 25 May 2005

VLK - Vislink


LONDON (SHARECAST) - Broadcast business Vislink, which enables customers to broadcast events over the TV, managed to put a troublesome 2004 behind it today as the group said trading is significantly ahead of last year.

Chief executive Ian Scott-Gall said at the AGM today, Vislink has made a promising start to the year. The Group's trading is in line with expectations and is significantly ahead of the previous year.

Vislink said its UK business was seeing stronger international demand, although the market has remained competitive. The large contract in Venezuela is expected to benefit the second half with completion due in the fourth quarter, added the firm.

"The Board is encouraged by the current level of trading and looks forward to the rest of the year with enthusiasm and confidence," added Vislink.

In September the group shocked its shareholders saying it had dived into the red at the halfway mark, adding that a lack of demand for its products would also hit full-year 2004 profits.

Post copied from poster on another BB and which reads as great news.


This is an article from tomorrows IC:

Vislink

Shares in IT hardware group Vislink had a fantastic run between the beginning of November 2004 and the middle of March, gaining around 70 per cent as news of an acquisition and a major contract win were well-received.

That rally in part also reflected a recovery at the group's UK operations, which had experienced poor trading in the first half of 2004. However, the shares have since fallen from mid-March's high of 32.75p and are now looking cheap again.

Vislink supplies microwave radio and satellite transmission products to niche sectors such as the broadcast and security markets, as well as integrated CCTV (closed circuit television) systems for applications in the marine security and petroleum industries.

And final results (released in late March) revealed that, despite last year's turnover from continuing operations being flat at 67.8m (68m in 2003), Vislink had actually improved second-half sales to 37.7m from 30.1m in the first half. This increase was partly driven by the group's US-based Microwave Radio Communications (MRC) business as it benefited from a strong intake of orders, particularly from the US government.

But Vislink's UK business, despite a move to rationalise its operations into one site at the end of 2003, continued to suffer from weak sales and trading losses in the first half. After a further 1.5m was spent last year on restructuring, though - which involved operational management changes and additional cost-cutting - the business returned to profitability in December.

The group's marine safety business, Hernis, saw growth in both order intake and operating profits during the year. Currently, it is experiencing increased demand from the Norwegian oil and gas market.

For the 12 months to 31 December, the group's pre-tax loss was reduced to 809,000 (from a loss of 3.4m in 2003). Earnings per share, before goodwill amortisation and exceptionals, were flat at 1p.

The current year has got off to a good start, too, with Vislink's MRC winning an initial order of $30m to build equipment for a North American provider of wireless communications services.

Link Research - a provider of digital wireless camera systems that Vislink bought for 10.8m in January - will also profit from this deal as purchases made by MRC from Link will increase as a result of the order. The Link acquisition benefits the group as a whole because it now retains the royalties that it previously paid to Link on products supplied to Vislink, while the integration of Link's wireless camera systems with Vislink's own product offering is expected to provide opportunities for further growth.

Vislink is now expected to return to profit this year, and normalised earnings per share are set to increase by 40 per cent to 1.4p. For next year, the consensus forecast estimates earnings per share to more than double to 3.2p. Consequently, the shares represent good value.

PapalPower - 03 Jun 2005 10:39 - 37 of 301

squidd with weekend write ups I hope we can break 35p early next week here at VLK. Have you looked at CCN as it seems bottomed but any film festival update or acquisition news could see a large jump up, it will be strong in the second half (as already said by the company) but first half is just only news related moves but worth watching.

PapalPower - 09 Jun 2005 08:22 - 38 of 301

squidd an associate of mine has been in contact with Ian Scott Gall and as limited as his reply is restricted to be the response was that the bullish statements in recent announcements means that all is going well I am therefore looking forward to my dividend soon and also the results news in September. I would still class this as a buy until 35p with a higher buy level once the results are announced in September.

squidd - 13 Jun 2005 04:16 - 39 of 301

PpP: Thanks for updates on VLK. all sounds upbeat, but with summer absences now in prospect, I've had to decide not to extend the variety of my portfolio beyond what I see as classic recovery situations, which can be left unattended.
Will be keeping an occasional watch on your portfolio.

squidd I have a feeling that before summer finishes there will be exciting things on the FTSE:AIM, I am keeping an eye on a few others that are very much undervalued and out of favour but that will offer surprisingly good news in Autumn, if they keep to that potential will let you know late summer time.

If you like energy stocks take a look at TAG as it is getting like a compressed spring and should soon be ready to unleash with news flow.

MRC Shipment of TSSR Radio Systems Breaks 1000 Mark
Released 06 June 2005

Microwave Radio Communications (MRC), a Vislink Company, announced today that it has now shipped over 1000 of its TSSR tactical microwave communications systems. The TSSR is a transportable 15 GHz microwave system that was designed to support terrestrial relay of voice and data communications from satellite and troposcatter ground stations to tactical nodes and command centers. The TSSR has also been widely deployed for connecting approach radar and surveillance radar systems with remote air traffic control systems. Shortly after the achievement of this milestone, MRC received a new $4.6 million dollar order for TSSR systems.

These events mark important landmarks for our company, said MRCs president Tony Finizio. With global events such as they are, we are pleased to provide high quality, reliable products like the TSSR that our military continues to desire for its tactical capability.

Drawing from the experience gained in more than four decades of designing and building microwave systems, MRC has been supporting military programs since the Vietnam conflict, and continues to develop a broad range of products to solve demanding point-to-point and satellite communications problems. The TSSR transportable system can be quickly deployed in the field, and readily interfaces with TRI-TAC ICD baseband signals, or AN/TAC-1 fiber optic systems.

squidd we have now had late afternoon strong push ups for a few days running will it be the same again today or start early today. As it is the last day before XD tomorrow I am expecting strong buying again today, breaking through 32p will be a strong sign.

With IC saying they are good value and the Times reporting potential upgrades it all looks confirmed for a return to profit in early September reporting.

squidd/baza there was always going to be an amount of holders who purchased in just in case the news was better than expected, they will sell out with a small dip in the price before the buyers return in the run up to results.

A small dip on a small amount of profit taking before the buying returns and the price rises to the next level which will be over the 45p mark.

If you notice the trading statement it is positive in they say "in line" which means only upside. It would have been normal or negative if they said "broadly in line".

Contract Wins
Released 12 July 2005

Vislink plc, (The Group) a leading supplier of microwave radio and satellite transmission products for the broadcast and security markets and of CCTV systems for the marine security market, is pleased to announce that a number of significant contracts have been awarded to both our broadcast businesses and Hernis, our marine safety business in the second quarter.

In June, Vislink Communications, the Groups UK satcoms business, has won several contracts from a Western European satellite operator to supply satellite uplinks for mobile flyaway systems and fixed earth stations. The value of these contracts for delivery in the second half of this year is in excess of 2.6 million.

In the US, MRC has seen a particularly strong order inflow in the second quarter as a result of growth in both their international and domestic markets. Recent international orders included a $2.0million Korean order for digital fixed links and orders approaching $1.0 million dollars in both Hong Kong and China for portable and helicopter microwave links. MRC continues to receive on-going orders from their domestic market under the BAS rechannelisation programme.

In June, Hernis, the Groups Norwegian based marine safety business, has been awarded a contract worth in excess of 0.5 million to supply a video surveillance system for the large Bohai Phase II Project in China. The system consists of close to 200 specialised camera stations and digital recorders for the hazardous area environment that will be installed on five different wellhead platforms and the main floating production platform.

peeyam it looks like we will go through a period of profit taking. I will wait and then add on the bottom of the dip.

PapalPower - 27 Jul 2005 15:20 - 78 of 301

squidd and peeyam I have had a top up today. The charts say this is a new higher low and going by the charts you can say this is going to near 60p. Results in just over 4 weeks and we have been told they will be good.

The big change recently is the dollar dropping, this will make those MRC profits even better for VLK and also make MRC even more competitive in the second half and we know they got loads of orders in the first half.

This was breaking 40p at the time of those sad London bombs.

squidd - 28 Jul 2005 04:14 - 79 of 301

PpP: I think too, that VLK looks due for another cyclical upturn. Additionally, with the current raised security concerns, someone surely must have noticed the success elsewhere, of VLK's surveillance equipment. Here's hoping.

PapalPower - 28 Jul 2005 08:59 - 80 of 301

squidd 237K buys & 25k sells yesterday I think and I checked the earlier trades and it looked like someone was mopping up the sells after the London incident stopped the price as it was going through 40p, so to check this I topped up with a buy at 34p yesterday and as soon as I did the price went up. The buy was shown as a sell and as the price went up there is seems to be no slack so someone was mopping up the recent small sells. Would not be surprised to see lots more buying into the results 1st of September and another increase in one of the insitutions holdings.
My target for the price after the results do show how good things are and we are back to profits is well over 50p maybe touching 60p.

PapalPower - 28 Jul 2005 14:23 - 81 of 301

squidd and peeyam every buy now seems to push the price up and up it really is primed for the run into excellent results and a return to profit !

I would say 56p minimum as the target.

His comment for yesterday night was 'Vislink rose nicely yesterday and I don't think it'll be long before it'll be in a serious rise'

PapalPower - 29 Jul 2005 10:29 - 85 of 301

Still going up with every buy makes it very bullish.

peeyam - 29 Jul 2005 10:55 - 86 of 301

Immediate target for the share is 42p to 45p or so thats what our research suggests , agree with papalpower that the bombing in london did halt progress but looks like it may be for the good since the share was nearing the upper band of an uptrend it got time to correct.

PapalPower - 29 Jul 2005 11:06 - 87 of 301

peeyam yes it tested the support level and if it went through 30p it would have been bad and that it did not and bounced up from 34p offer is very bullish. Those who sold had their shares brought by the lurking Goldman Sachs in my opinion and thats why it is stronger now and into the equation goes the strengthening dollar making all the US and Asia contracts by Vislink group more valuable in sterling terms.

PapalPower - 29 Jul 2005 14:52 - 88 of 301

squidd still going strong on VLK next week could be a real gainer and I see your buy on APH was well timed in the morning with a rise in the afternoon.

PapalPower - 30 Jul 2005 08:05 - 89 of 301

squidd and peeyam they did not get any real sells on Friday afternoon so we should be having another strong week ahead as they will be short of stock for buyers.

squidd - 31 Jul 2005 05:19 - 90 of 301

PpP: Wot the heck is a White Marubozu and why is it stalking VLK ?
I heard this mentioned once before, from a guy at that psychiatric clinic which was set up to treat traumatised victims of the dotcom crash, but we never found out what it was and the guy is probably still rambling on about it at some institution. Oh for the good old days when investment was simple.

Could and should be another positive week squidd.

peeyam - 01 Aug 2005 09:30 - 93 of 301

the share is up 3 days in a row, hence could be on constant gainers list soon, this will get the buying volumes higher I think. by end of week if share keeps up the momentum we can expect around 44p

PapalPower - 01 Aug 2005 11:15 - 94 of 301

peeyam very true the thing thats hidden from most now is the fact that even with the EPS forecast to double for next year on the excellent orders the sterling to dollar effect will raise EPS even more.

Its a case of adding into the results now as I think that once they are released there will be a serious upgrade to EPS forecasts.

PapalPower - 01 Aug 2005 12:12 - 95 of 301

I think it will end stronger today peeyam so keep watching.

PapalPower - 01 Aug 2005 14:22 - 96 of 301

macd is building up nicely peeyam

PapalPower - 02 Aug 2005 06:44 - 97 of 301

peeyam I passed this over to Wapit so here for you too, large contract news in the coming weeks would no doubt be a massive boost to the price however so will an EPS upgrade as Vislink is presently trading at only 12 times forecast 2006 EPS. With US interest rates due to go up and UK rates to go down the dollar will continue to strengthen which will boost Vislinks sterling profits for the second half. A 2006 EPS upgrade to 3.5p would make 13 times the forecast 45.5p and an upgrade to 3.8p would make 13 times forecast 49.4p.

Sector average PER is 19.5 and market average is 13.49 so if you give Vislink a PER of 16 on upgraded EPS forecast of 3.5p you get a price of 56p. Even if you leave present forecast 2006 EPS where it is and give a PER of 19 then the price is 60p. There is plenty of room for upgrades and also plenty of reason and March and August are the times the Institutions like to buy Vislink.

If you look at the Price to Sales Ratio (PSR) for Vislink its x0.58 where Sector average is x5.44 which leaves plenty of upside (market average is x2.36), give VLK a PSR of x1 and its up in the 70p range.

This is the question do you add and buy now or wait until the brokers upgrade by which time its too late as its gone up already before you hear about it. In these recovery plays its all about getting in on the growth in EPS before the brokers upgrade their forecast, which will be due for VLK in mid September in my opinion.

Brokers upgraded VLK 2006 EPS forecast early July on the contract wins and what has not gone in yet is the sterling profit to dollar increase which I am sure will be mentioned in the results due around the 1st of September after the previous results wording and will cause another upgrade in September along with a strong order pipeline for Link, Hernis and MRC (and of course Vislink) which should be noted in the coming results in my opinion.

Flying TV add new COFDM airborne system from Link 2005-08-08

Link have sold an airborne XP system to Flying TV, the UKs only ready to go TV Helicopter.
G-PIXX is equipped with Links latest 5W COFDM Amplifier and rack mounted TX unit which enables any satellite truck equipped with a COFDM receiver to receive the transmission. This system will give a range of around 100Km without the need for any mechanical tracking antennas enabling G-PIXX to cover any breaking news or sports event.
Link have been working with Flying TV over the past six months and have already used this system to great effect on many news and sports stories including the 2005 University boat race.
"The LINK COFDM system has delivered over 80 hours of robust live transmissions into a variety of fixed and mobile receive sites all over the UK. As we operate with a 2 person crew we love the 'fit and forget' design of both the TX and RX side - it's easier to use than a cellphone - and it enables us to offer live coverage to our customers over distances never previously achieved in the UK."

PapalPower - 11 Aug 2005 08:50 - 100 of 301

squidd the on balance volume making new highs again after London knocked it down means they will have to keep raising the price to get sellers to fill the buys. Its looking very strong and an upgrade to EPS forecast after profitable results based on strong order book and increased profits from the weakening pound to the dollar are due so 50p here we come in my opinon.

Would not be surprised to see a few more 100K buys at the end of the day like yesterday in the remaining time before results as I think Goldman are after another million having got about 400K to 500K at the moment.

PapalPower - 11 Aug 2005 09:49 - 101 of 301

And we are off squidd !

My target is a 2006 EPS forecast upgrade from 3.2 to 3.8 after results (based on strong order book and increased sterling profits due to dollar strength).

3.8 x 15 = 57p fair value for me in my opinon.

PapalPower - 11 Aug 2005 15:13 - 102 of 301

squidd looks strong and got over a resistance level today so will be good going into the results which are quite soon now. I added into UNG today and will add into both VLK and UNG in the run up to their results which should be VLK 1 week before UNG.

PapalPower - 12 Aug 2005 10:13 - 103 of 301

squidd - 12 Aug 2005 13:29 - 104 of 301

PpP: My computer has been down, so VLK & APH welcomed me in blue on return - at a time when some of my recovery stocks are temporarily drooping. Both these shares are looking more and more like backbone shares to maintain stability in the portfolio, when others are looking uncertain.
I never did get into UNG because of the sudden jump in the spread and I was then distracted by ULT, which is looking exciting at present.

PapalPower - 12 Aug 2005 17:56 - 106 of 301

And there we go 300,000 buys at the end, if my thinking is correct then thats Goldman now with about 800K and still 200K to go for their 1 million top up.

Its simple to read and watch this one fly into the results now.

PapalPower - 13 Aug 2005 15:09 - 107 of 301

PapalPower - 17 Aug 2005 08:14 - 108 of 301

Looks like a rash of profit taking now, the losses in the USA might make the profit taking gain momentum at the moment.

squidd - 22 Aug 2005 21:54 - 109 of 301

PpP: Had to sell my VLK holding, at a small profit, first thing this morning in order to release urgently needed funds to top up in ULT.
The battering taken by the big pharmas on Friday after the Vioxx case, looked set to continue this morning with GSK in the firing line after release of a report pointing to suicidal tendencies with Seroxat, and I thought this would give a big boost to ULT. And so it proved - was able to scoop much of the 20% rise.
I think ULT is building mostly on hype at the moment with few actual sales - would appreciate any views you have however.
sd.

PapalPower - 22 Aug 2005 23:57 - 110 of 301

squidd a profit is a profit and it seems like you made a good move with a 20% jump on ULT. The recent contract news was good but then again there was profit taking after that rise including EK selling out. If they can sustain more good news and contracts then it will move up, but like you say it could be peoples expectations of more things thats giving the second rise, so there might be a time to do some top slicing when the current rise loses momentum if no new news comes.

PapalPower - 01 Sep 2005 08:22 - 114 of 301

I am now looking for a good set of positive interims from BOI and UNG on the 7th and 9th of September respectively. VLK moved up well ahead of the results and should remain strong on them. BOI and UNG are yet to make their moves up in my opinion if we get good positive statements.

MRC Win Military Orders Totalling $8.4m Released 08 November 2005

http://www.adventcomms.com/press/container.php?recordID=83

Microwave Radio Communications (MRC), a Vislink company, was recently awarded a number of contracts to supply equipment to support US military programmes. These included a $6.1m order from the US Marine Corps for 70 TSSR transportable radio systems to be shipped between January and April 2006.

The TSSR system can be quickly deployed in the field and is designed to support terrestrial relay of voice and data communications. This order comes only four months after MRC announced the milestone of having already shipped more than 1000 TSSR systems.

This demonstrates MRC building momentum supporting and developing the US military market inline with Group strategy said Vislink Chief Executive, Ian Scott-Gall.

Moving up, the buys started just after 9am, this normally means a new contract done and to be announced in the next few days, do your own research on it though.

Saintserf - 23 Nov 2005 14:44 - 125 of 301

This share looks good. The chart looks like it has 20% upside, although I'd like to wait another day or two to make sure it's moving up. It was picked out by the chartist in shares magazine this week. They're normally not too bad with their short term chart predictions, as opposed to their plays of the week which are awful. By the way, papal power congratulations on champion investor. Are you safeguarding your lead now by staying out of the markets. one of the reasons this thread may not get many posters is that it's just underneath tadpole's thread, something none of us wish to be associated with

PapalPower - 23 Nov 2005 14:55 - 126 of 301

Saintserf, VLK should be good in my opinion for a break through 45p and then up to touch 55p before dropping back to 50p, just my thoughts. It needs some news to push it up, another big contract win would be good.

It not overpriced, but needs a broker update or contract win to give it the force to go through 45p I think.

On Champ Invest I have just gone long on LEAD in a very big way, fully invested in that, with a few other smaller trades for balance.

Glad to see you're still doing well, papal power in champ investor. I know vislink's got nice trendlines that say buy as the sp is between the bottom and middle I think. It also has 20% rises and 10% dips by my calculations regularly. Thus a continuous ascending price channel. But it doesn't seem to get many trades and doesn't move much consistently. I know these things don't matter much if a share's in a trend pattern like this but they're just a bit discomfiting. What do you think of leadcom's potential at the moment given its rise today. I also wondered if you have any views on Wolfson, seeing I was in Edinburgh today, it's base. I visited the Scottish Parliament today for the first time, very impressive. It made me feel very patriotic.

PapalPower - 14 Dec 2005 06:13 - 129 of 301

VLK is still in limbo, although we all know they will make a full year profit, they still have not made one yet. Things will change as full year reporting approches and also after that, as VLK then is classed as a profitable enterprise. VLK also do not offer an interim div, only a full year one, as this causes them to suffer "loss of interest" once interims are out of the way.

Wolfson has performed very well recently, I would not like to have a guess at what the immediate future holds without a lot of research into them.

LEAD I expect to move upwards big time in the next 8 weeks, at sometime, do not know when. Something is happening in the background at the moment, which is keeping a lid on the price, but once this is out of the way, the sheer excellent fundamentals will deservedly push the price much higher. I would expect LEAD to pick up some tips for 2006.

The first ever live, true High Definition transmission from a wireless TV camera took place recently, at the West Asian Games in Doha, Qatar.
Presteigne Broadcast Hire, having been the first company in the world to buy LinkHD systems, supplied the equipment and specialist crew for this groundbreaking project.
Presteignes systems broadcasted HD pictures live from the Hamad Aquatics Centre for the duration of the event, with Al Jazeera TV and additional Asian satellite TV channels taking feeds.
The latest signal delay recorded for the LinkHD system is 62 milliseconds, which is equal to about one and a half frames. These results prove that the performance of the LinkHD will match the broadcasters tough requirements for live sports broadcast.

Following a thorough technical evaluation and a formal European Tender, BBC English Regions has appointed Link Research as its preferred supplier for wireless camera systems and is ordering LinkXPs for thirteen BBC regions.
The BBC regions news crews will be using Links L1910 COFDM wireless transmitters with 2-input diversity and clip on 1 watt power amplifier. This new technology will allow the BBC regional news teams to take on a new and dramatic new look to the way they report on local, regional and national stories from their respective areas.
BBC English Regions is responsible for over 70% of the BBCs domestic programming hours. With a team of journalists based in each regional centre, they produce daily regional news programmes such as Look North and Points West as well as the regional aspects of the BBCs current affairs shows.
LinkXP systems have been ordered for Birmingham, Hull, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Plymouth, Southampton, Tunbridge Wells, Norwich, Newcastle, Oxford, Cambridge and Bristol.
After a competitive tendering process between several leading manufacturers, the BBC decided that Links equipment would give the best performance.
Cellular Diversity is a concept that Link Research has developed where live signals from a wireless news camera are sent directly to a receiver linked into the broadcast network. This will be a highly efficient way to gather news in cities where tall buildings reflect the digital COFDM signals. Link's cellular diversity was first proven with the Oxford/Cambridge boat race coverage and is now being installed in several fixed locations including Helsinki The LinkXP wireless camera system consists of a transmitter with receivers that will deliver a robust performance well beyond the expectations of OB crews used to using analogue equipment. It is a popular choice with broadcasters worldwide.
Link Research has recently enhanced the LinkXP systems to operate in the 3.5 GHz bandwidth and launched a High Definition model of the LinkXP system for sports broadcast at IBC last year.

The service is being provided by DigitaOY, a leading Finnish supplier of data networks, for a number of user groups including broadcasters.

Annual General Meeting trading update - Wednesday 24th May 2006

Vislink plc ('the Group'), the leading supplier of microwave radio and satellite transmission products for the broadcast and security markets and CCTV systems for the marine security market, will hold its Annual General Meeting later this morning.

The Chief Executive, Ian Scott-Gall, will give a trading update to the meeting
including the following comments.

'The Group has made a very strong start to the year. For the first four month's
trading in 2006

Order inflow is 35% ahead of the same period last year
Sales are 72% ahead of the same period last year
Adjusted operating profit for the period, being operating profit before
the amortisation of acquired intangibles, is over 50% ahead of the
3.2million reported for the first six months of 2005

Both the international and domestic markets remain strong for MRC our US
broadcast business. MRC's recent success in winning two Broadcast industry
awards at NAB 2006, the world's largest electronic media show, demonstrates
continued progress with new product introductions.

Our UK broadcast business continues to benefit from the growth of Link Research
with increasing demand for their new HD products and from sales growth and the
return to profitability of Advent, the satellite communications business.

Hernis, the specialist marine safety and security business, has made an
excellent start to the year with orders currently 50% ahead of the first four
month's of last year. Hernis continues to win significant orders from both
marine and offshore oil and gas projects.

In summary, the Board is pleased with the progress made so far this year and
looks forward to the rest of the year with enthusiasm and confidence.'

Interesting, Cynic, (and I thought so regarding your mail too, for which, thanks very much!).

My view is that if they make as little as 7 mil post-tax (estimated/extrapolated for the full year; next expected results are for the half year), that leaves them on PE 15.5 at current SP, for EPS of 5.1p.

This leaves a PE/growth ratio plausibly around 0.28, although I'd be prepared to accept a more conservative 0.5 as a fair estimate.

I'm inclined to be a touch more bullish.

soul traders - 22 Aug 2006 11:42 - 170 of 301

Additional:- you may be right regarding a dip in the short term, but with five weeks to go before the results, I think this could grow nicely in between whiles. Looking ahead to the end of March 2007, I'd say the prospects are good for a decent rise.

Disagreements welcome as always. :o)

cynic - 22 Aug 2006 11:43 - 171 of 301

hi soul* ..... as i mentioned to you, the figures will assuredly be terrific, but they are already well flagged ..... for myself, i shall wait until after they are announced as i do not feel the odds are well stacked at the moment for continuing upward spiral.

soul traders - 22 Aug 2006 11:49 - 172 of 301

We shall see - I'm still young and dumb enough that I have to try everything out and sometimes learn the hard way :o)

soul traders - 22 Aug 2006 11:53 - 173 of 301

got in at 80p including costs, anyway!

PS I don't know much about RSI's, not being a particularly dedicated technical analyst. However, I would have thought that amongst the smaller caps, the RSI tends to be less applicable due to the obvious volatility inherent in such stocks. It would be another thing to compare, say, FTSE-100 stocks with the index as that would compare like with like. What do you think?

cynic - 22 Aug 2006 12:00 - 174 of 301

I am no analyst either, but RSI must have relevance whatever the stock ..... with RSI for VLK standing at 80, my view is that one needs to be quite or even pretty brave to dive in now.... of course, it may be that the figures are just so stunning that any profit-taking is easily absorbed, but surely the odds do not favour that?

MULTIMILLION DOLLAR US DEAL FOR LINK-XP WIRELESS CAMERA SYSTEMS

Aerial Video Systems (AVS) has placed a multi-million dollar order with Microwave Radio Communications (MRC) for the LinkXP wireless camera systems supplied by Link Research Ltd (Link). Both MRC and Link are Vislink plc companies. This transaction is part of the Sprint 2 GHz relocation program under way in the US.

The AVS order will make the company the largest provider of LinkXP systems in the world. This investment will enable the company to make even greater strides in the delivery of live content programming to customers around the world.

AVS took delivery of its first LinkXP systems two years ago and was the first customer in the United States to order the Link HD wireless camera systems. In a bit of history, AVS was the first to successfully demonstrate a high definition wireless camera system in the United States at a Monday Night Football game in December 2005. Since then AVS has covered numerous live events with the AVS/Link HD camera system such as the Super Bowl, NBA playoffs and finals and the Academy Awards.

AVS has always been about being on the technological cutting edge and our continuing partnership with Link will further that mission, stated Randy Hermes, president and CEO of Aerial Video Systems.

AVS is based in Burbank, California and specializes in next generation camera and video solutions and has been recognized with seven Emmy Awards for technical achievement.

Results due out tomorrow?

PapalPower - 29 Aug 2006 11:17 - 177 of 301

Yes, will be a good read.

soul traders - 30 Aug 2006 10:36 - 178 of 301

Results are here. SP down slightly on profit-taking, but FWIW only 0.32% of the shares in issue have been shifted so far today, so there has not been much of a rush in either direction, as it would appear.

Here is the results summary:

Vislink plc

Interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2006

Vislink plc ('The Group'), a leading supplier of microwave radio and satellite
transmission products for the broadcast and security markets and of CCTV systems
for the marine security market has today announced its interim results for the
six months to 30 June 2006.

Financial summary
---------------------------- -------- -----------
For the six months ended 30 June 2006 2005
'000 '000
---------------------------- -------- -----------
Revenue 50,764 35,753
Operating profit 6,234 2,527
Adjusted* operating profit 6,910 3,046
Profit before taxation 6,076 2,092
Earnings per share - basic 2.73p 1.07p
Adjusted* earnings per share - basic 3.08p 1.33p
---------------------------- -------- -----------

PapalPower - 30 Aug 2006 10:38 - 179 of 301

A very good set of results, the buyers will be back later in the this week or next, once the profit takers have moved on.

soul traders - 30 Aug 2006 10:46 - 180 of 301

And here a breakdown of earnings per share:


CONSOLIDATED GROUP INCOME STATEMENT
for the six months ended 30 June 2006

Six months Six months Year ended
to 30 June to 30 June 31 December
2006 2005 2005
(Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Audited)

Earnings per share expressed
in pence per share:
From continuing operations
- basic 6 2.73p 1.07p 2.66p
From continuing operations
- diluted 6 2.68p 1.06p 2.62p


Taking the diluted earnings as datum, and doing a swift calculation, that gives EPS for the last twelve reported months (i.e. H2 2005 plus H1 2006) of 4.24p. At current SP of 77p that gives a PE of 18.16

It's worth noting also that EPS for H1 2006 is greater than that for the whole of 2005.

If we can assume that in FY 2006 5p EPS is reached, then the forward PE to year end is only 15.4, which seems to me to be undemanding for a company whose earnings are basically doubling.

However, there has been an almost uninterrupted 200% rise (i.e. three times original price) in the SP over the space of approx 2 years, so it is unsurprising that one or two are choosing to bank their profits now.

I'd be interested to see what opinions will be offered up by the analysts over the coming days, as I would expect this still to be rated a buy.

all IMO, PDYOR, contradictory views welcome.

soul traders - 30 Aug 2006 10:47 - 181 of 301

I agree your sentiment in post 179, PP.

soul traders - 30 Aug 2006 11:06 - 182 of 301

FWIW, just found this forthcoming EPS estimate on FT.com:

Earnings (pence per share)
Year Ending Dec-06 5.80
Year Ending Dec-07 5.80


Naturally one hopes they may be revising that 2007 estimate upwards. 2006 looks good!

PapalPower - 01 Sep 2006 08:28 - 183 of 301

soul traders - 01 Sep 2006 10:50 - 184 of 301

Yep - I'm in profit on the deal I did the other day (by the narrowest of margins!) and we have a new all-time high for the SP! (if you ignore that alleged purchase yesterday of 10,000 at 117p, which I cannot take seriously)

Nice piece in this morning's Daily Mail

BUOYANT Vislink boss lan Scott-Gall flies to Amsterdam next week to bang the drum at the International Broadcast Convention. He should pick up more industry sales for the broadcast, security and marine CCTV group's equipment. First-half profits soared 190pc to a record 6.1m on sales 42pc up at 50.8m. Investec forecasts 12.7m for the full year and says buy. Shares eased 1'/2p to 76'/2p due to profit-taking.

Seems to be getting better! "

HARRYCAT - 04 Oct 2006 13:37 - 192 of 301

Seems to be ticking up nicely, but strange that each 5p/10p move on the chart seems to represent a resistance level, so if it can clear & hold above 80p then 85-90p should be the next resistance level.
As you say st, thank goodness for VLK at the moment (Oil & gaming not going to plan).

soul traders - 04 Oct 2006 15:24 - 193 of 301

HC, I'm regarding VLK as a longer-term play (couple of years, anyway), as it is clearly in a growth phase. Am well into oils but avoiding gaming on principle and jolly glad about it!

HARRYCAT - 04 Oct 2006 16:27 - 194 of 301

Long term play, possibly, but can the present rate of growth in the sp be maintained over the next two years?
I might have to lock in profit before that, but happy to hold at present.

soul traders - 09 Oct 2006 16:43 - 195 of 301

Up 1p today, but on chunky turnover of 4.3 million shares, notably 4 x 1,000,000, apparently all purchases, around midday. Looks like somebody's putting together big stakes - maybe for different fund segments managed by the same fund manager??

There were also 4 x 1,000,000 possible buys on Friday.

HARRYCAT - 20 Oct 2006 11:58 - 205 of 301

VLK have 136 million shares in circulation.
The chart can't go on forever like this. What's your opinion on a fair valuation, soult?

soul traders - 20 Oct 2006 13:02 - 206 of 301

Phew, Harry, I'm not quite sure to be honest. Shares Mag last week had this on a forward PE of 13.8 for 2007 at share price 82.75p, which means that at 90p we're on PE 15.

(If you take the EPS of 2.68 from the interims and double it for the full year (5.36p), at 90p you get PE 17).

Given that the Interim EPS was up 132%, a PE of 15 looks fairly cheap. (PEG 0.11!)

Even if year-on-year growth at year end turned out to be only only 50%, that's still a PEG of around 0.35.

So I don't think that the current SP is overdone. I could see us coming out the right side of 100p on prospects of the promotion to the All-Share Index and maybe 110p afterwards, but that's just guesswork. That would still only be 20.5 times EPS of 5.36p, though, and I think there's more growth likely.

I expect that a few more analysts will start to cover VLK if it gets to the All-Share, so maybe we'll get some better estimates coming out of the woodwork. So far there is only one analyst's "add" recommendation on www.newratings.com.

Hope this helps; apologies if it's a bit waffly, but at the end of the day I am as enlightened or unenlightened as anybody else.

soul traders - 20 Oct 2006 13:06 - 207 of 301

FT.com has the consensus forecast EPS for both FY 2006 and 2007 at 5.8p, which is even better. Allegedly there are two analysts who believe this, don't know which ones.

HARRYCAT - 23 Oct 2006 10:04 - 210 of 301

Thanks, soult.
Am still holding, but assuming a resistance level at 100p, might be tempted to take profit at that level, although cynic's strategy of having a core holding & playing with a top up seems logical in this instance.

soul traders - 23 Oct 2006 15:47 - 211 of 301

Harry, you may be right about resistance - however I will probably just be holding and hoping!

Red, I agree that there does not seem to be much growth forecast for 2007, and there are indeed very few analysts' reports to be had as far as I can see. This may all change in the near future and more coverage start coming out; I would like to wait and see how this pans out as there may be more encouraging reports on the way.

PapalPower - 23 Oct 2006 20:31 - 212 of 301

Keeping on going, 100p will be a key level to break or retrace down from perhaps, lets hope VLK can break through.

soul traders - 24 Oct 2006 11:06 - 213 of 301

Yup, yesterday's rise was very heartening and the fun hasn't stopped just yet:

Sure. but even you must have a profit taking strategy, soult???
Nothing is forever!!! If there is a big market correction,VLK will not be immune!
Am starting to get sweaty palms!!!

soul traders - 24 Oct 2006 11:54 - 215 of 301

LOL - that's what I am trying to gauge at the moment, Harry. because I work in a bank, I am obliged to hold shares for a minimum of one month, so I cannot trade in and out as quickly as most. This makes it more sensible for me to buy and hold for the medium term; I'm looking to newsflow to give some guidance as to VLK's prospects and will review and act accordingly. My holding is too small to be worth top-slicing in any case.

soul traders - 25 Oct 2006 11:23 - 216 of 301

I could happily watch this stock rise all day long:

VLK Bid: 95p Offer: 96p Change: 0.75

HARRYCAT - 25 Oct 2006 11:59 - 217 of 301

Still holding. 100p mark will be crucial imo.

soul traders - 25 Oct 2006 14:25 - 218 of 301

And up some more . . . Looking at the chart, VLK seems to be having its biggest calendar-month rise in two years; some 30%.

VLK Bid: 96p Offer: 97p Change: 1.75

100p by the weekend? But how long can it last?

HARRYCAT - 25 Oct 2006 14:28 - 219 of 301

Steady soult - don't jinx it!
I may have asked this before so apologies if so - Do they pay a divi, if so divi date could be a good target.

soul traders - 25 Oct 2006 20:18 - 220 of 301

Harry, they paid a full-year div of 0.5p at end of June. There will be no Interim div,and in any case the amounts involved are currently so small that I don't think they'll create much of a break in any SP trend.

Decent end to the day, though:

VLK Bid: 97.5p Offer: 99p Change: 3.5

Some big trades, which I take to be purchases, hit the system towards the end of the day. Big boys muscling in . . . ?

Trade time Price (p) Volume Assumed purchase/sale* (p) Bid (p) Ask (p)
16:23 96 200000 sale 98.75 99
16:23 96.5 500000 sale 98.75 99
15:21 97 200000 sale 96.5 98

HARRYCAT - 25 Oct 2006 20:51 - 221 of 301

Apologies. I did get divi in July. It was so small that I had forgotten about it! Last time they paid an int. divi was 1998. Been so focussed on GOO today that I have not done proper research here on VLK.
The trades you mention are sells I think. Delayed trades & single protected transactions.
Nevertheless, onwards & upwards we hope!

HARRYCAT - 31 Oct 2006 12:24 - 222 of 301

Any further thoughts here soult?
Fairly heavy selling, but the sp seems stable at 94p, but still the 100p seems a resistance level. May indicate that this is now a fair valuation of the company???
Am still holding but common sense would tell me to take profit soon, particularly if the FTSE starts to slide.

cynic - 31 Oct 2006 12:27 - 223 of 301

FTSE is technically (chart) still strongly up-bound

HARRYCAT - 31 Oct 2006 12:35 - 224 of 301

To what level?

soul traders - 31 Oct 2006 13:15 - 225 of 301

Harry, it's probably a good idea to listen to your common sense, although I think there may still be some headroom for VLK, especially if it gets promoted to the All-Share.

I, however, took a decision to cut and run on Friday, so I sold all my VLK at an 18% profit and spent the proceeds on SOLA at 196.55p. Which, as you can tell, I am so far not regretting in the slightest.

I would have preferred to sell something else and keep VLK, but have had to restructure a fair bit of my portfolio in the last couple of weeks and it just wasn't possible to do everything at once.

Good luck to those still holding.

soul traders - 31 Oct 2006 13:21 - 226 of 301

PS - I'm not sure if it's yet fair to refer to 100p as a resistance level. VLK enjoyed a very strong run in the previous month and has only had one peak at 99p so far. The small drop back after a nice run up fits with the pattern of trading for the year to date.

Don't take my word for it, as I'm not a chartist, but I'd still be inclined to think there may be more to come unless a stronger downtrend begins to set in.

IMO, DYOR, etc.

HARRYCAT - 31 Oct 2006 13:24 - 227 of 301

Can't believe you jumped ship!!!
Am now hyperventilating into a brown paper bag & considering my options.

soul traders - 31 Oct 2006 13:31 - 228 of 301

Harry, Don't panic - (I'm sure you're only kidding anyway!) - as I said, I would rather have sold something else but was a bit stuck for liquid assets and simply made the best call I could under the circumstances. VLK could well be over a quid by mid-Nov.

And please don't take too much notice of what I say or do, as I have made just as many hideous investment mistakes as everyone else (but I don't admit to all of them on here :o) !!)

Here's a consolation prize: keep an eye on SUB. (Shares gave it a mention last week).

HARRYCAT - 31 Oct 2006 13:39 - 229 of 301

Relax, soult! I am adult enough to be responsible for my own decisions :o)
I also have SOLA. Two lots (1x 2.45 1 x 1.94), so looks like we are pretty much on the same wavelenght!
Am watching SUB, but think there is more downside before the up.
Will hang on to VLK for a day or two & watch.

soul traders - 31 Oct 2006 13:43 - 230 of 301

LOL - good to hear that, Harry!

Re Sola, I guess we are on a similar wavelength, although surely you mean you paid 145p for your first chunk (I did!). as far as I am aware the SP only got as far as 237 ????

You're right re SUB - am also playing a waiting game and need to take some time to read and research properly in addition to the quick scan I gave it a couple of months back, but I thought that Shares' mention was pretty compelling.

VLK Bid: 99p Offer: 100p Change: 5

Need to see the bid price through 100p.......fingers crossed :)

Cheers, soult! Was starting to feel a bit dizzy. Must have ben the old brussel sprout smell. Hope you think VLK worth re-investment soon.
Re SUB: thanks for the tip, but think the concensus of opinion is 'Stay out' especially after todays news release.

soul traders - 01 Nov 2006 13:28 - 235 of 301

Harry, I admit I couldn't have foreseen today's RNS on SUB, but "stay out for good" would be a little too strong for my liking. I've posted my reasons, more or less, in #81 on the SUB thread.

Can't see myself getting back into VLK at the mo due to stretched finances and my love affair with SUB and also a little gold-miner called Ariana (AAU). Might have a swing at TAN sometime when I want dependable growth, though.

Interesting that the pension funds of BT & Royal Mail have invested here recently.

soul traders - 15 Nov 2006 12:10 - 239 of 301

Harry, when I last checked, BT was actually reducing its VLK holding as part of a wide-ranging portfolio restructuring in which it was selling a great many equities.

HARRYCAT - 15 Nov 2006 12:25 - 240 of 301

Gee, soult, you are just regretting selling!!! But you are right. This is a reduction, so please disregard my earlier post.

CURTISR14 - 04 Dec 2006 13:56 - 243 of 301

I think close of play tomorrow is when we find out if VLK is admitted to the FTSE allshare. If it is, then this should surely have a positive impact on the share price, as the implication is that tracker funds would start to add the stock to their portfolios.

Yes, Bob Morton is Chairman of Vislink and also of The Armour Group which is another in my share portfolio. Have followed him over the years and with some very successful companies I recently made a 25 grand Profit from Vislink in under 12 months.The AGM is end of Dec and some sparkling results are anticipated.

HARRYCAT - 29 Dec 2006 16:31 - 251 of 301

Sold my stake in VLK just before Xmas, with a healthy profit, as they seemed to have reached a bit of a resistance level during december.
But still think this company is worth watching & would definitely buy back in when cash becomes available (i.e. when GOO stops buggering around).
I believe VLK goes ex-divi on the 31st, so sp may drop a little in jan.

cynic - 29 Dec 2006 16:38 - 252 of 301

judging from their company christmas dinner (only for about a dozen), the top management clearly reckons it had plenty to cheer about in 2006, and thus probably well into 2007

HARRYCAT - 29 Dec 2006 16:57 - 253 of 301

Management changes at Link Research.

On the 31st December 2006 Len Mann stood down as Managing Director of Link Research Ltd, in the culmination of management changes planned since the sale of Link to Vislink PLC by Len and David Mann in February 2005.

Len will now focus on his role on the board of Vislink and his role as Vislink's Chief Technical Officer. David continues to work for Link, designing antennas and providing technical consultancy and support.

Len Mann said "Building Link with my brother David has been a fantastic journey and weve had many challenges and achievements along the way. In todays wireless world there are as many new opportunities for Link as there have ever been. I am delighted that Link will move forward with a very strong team of directors and an excellent workforce. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped Link to become what it is today, including Links staff, cus! tomers, suppliers, several organisations and Vislink. I believe Link and Vislink have a very bright future ahead"

HARRYCAT - 16 Jan 2007 11:44 - 259 of 301

Not sure what is going on here, but may have something to do with the CEO exercising his 650k share options.
There doesn't seem to be any bad news on the horizon, so no cause for immediate alarm. I confess I sold at 98p, but will watch for another oportunity to get back in.
What we need is cynic here to give chart analysis info. Am I right in saying that resistance should be around the 80p level for the 200 DMA?

Vislink plc
2006 year end trading update
Wednesday 17th January 2007

"The Group has had another record year with profits in line with expectations for
the year ended 31 December 2006.

Sales increased by 17.5% to 100 million compared with 85.1million for 2005.
Orders received were ahead of last year at 97 million (2005 - 95.5 million)
and the order book remains strong at 34 million.

The Group expects its adjusted operating profit for the year, being operating
profit before the amortisation of acquired intangibles, to be not less than
13.5 million, compared with 8.35 million for 2005.

The domestic market has been particularly strong for MRC, our US business, as a
result of the significant volume of business derived from the 2GHz
re-channelisation programme. Our UK business continues to benefit from sales
into the US through MRC and the increasing demand for Link Research's new High
Definition products as well as the good recovery in sales and profitability of
Advent, the satellite communications business.

Hernis, the Norwegian specialist marine safety and security business, has had
another record year for sales and orders, winning significant orders from both
marine and offshore oil and gas projects.

In summary, trading has been strong across the Group, with record sales and
profits from each of the US, UK and Norwegian businesses. The Board looks
forward to 2007 with enthusiasm and confidence."

The next main event to affect the sp for VLK may be the release of results on the 28th March '07.

hey guys..
i dont post very often ..im doing a bit of research into Vislink ..but no update on this thread since mid-jan.
I was thinking about getting into these but im a bit spooked by the price drop in the past few days ...any views from anyone ??

p.s i am also in Chaco and i recognize a few posters names from here..

PapalPower - 09 Aug 2007 12:40 - 265 of 301

Just got myself some VLK, first time in a long time I am holding. Looks like a herd exit today, which means it should bounce back before too long.

HARRYCAT - 09 Aug 2007 13:27 - 266 of 301

'Too long' meaning.....?
Looking at the chart, there don't seem to be many support levels.

cynic - 09 Aug 2007 13:29 - 267 of 301

i held these too about a year ago from memory ...... just because a share falls, why should it then recover? ...... bad logic for you PP ..... much more pertinent would be to know why the precipitous fall with very significant volume

HARRYCAT - 09 Aug 2007 13:34 - 268 of 301

Results due on 30th Aug. Maybe with heavy exposure in the U.S. the weak $ has hit the results???

PapalPower - 09 Aug 2007 13:40 - 269 of 301

I think just a shorter attack, knowing Robbie Burns and his followers were all stop loss set at 72p.

Herd selling..............I think. :)

They have just bought a company in California. I can see no rumour as you suggest, crockham.

Vislink has materially widened its H1 pretax loss to £32.2m, from a year-ago loss of £881,000.

The loss included a write-off of inventory and capitalised development costs leading to adjustments of £6.3m, and another of goodwill and acquired intangibles leading to an adjustment of £23.3m.

Revenue was lower at £22.6m, from £26.6m.

"We continue to see significant underlying organic growth in our software business with a strong order intake which has carried through into H2," said executive chair John Hawkins.

"The long term prospects for Pebble Beach Systems continue to improve as we augment our core enterprise software solutions with cloud enabled software applications.

"We also have a pipeline of partners and software bolt-on acquisitions which will further enhance the Group strategy of building a high margin, cash generative software business.

"In its core broadcast market Vislink Communication Systems has seen a reduction in spend from broadcasters as they divert budgets from building infrastructure to investing in content. A technology shift to IP infrastructures has also delayed key buying decisions.

"With this background and with a desire to increase the efficiency of VCS and ensure that we build a cash generative sustainable and profitable business we have taken a number of decisive actions as part of our business improvement plan, including the move of the VCS finance function to Head Office leading to improved cash collection.

"We will continue to re-evaluate implementation of the business plan as trading progresses into H2."
