Well, that's a good start isn't it? SP down a tad !

But I still think this'll come good.. I'm hoping for confirmation of product launch, good trading statement and good results ! not hoping for much am I ?

All quiet...at the moment!.... interims could be released any time in the few days...last year it was 4th Nov!..hopefully we'll see good numbers/trading update and some new deals/contracts thrown in for good measure ! (imho)

More good news!

red24 (Redt 6.25p, 2.8m) red24 has signed agreements with two major insurance underwriters in the US to provide special risk consulting services. The contracts are expected to add a minimum of $700,000 of additional revenue over the next calendar year. While we would roughly calculate that this would equate to EPS of around 0.12-13p it is likely that at least some of this growth is already accounted for by the 1p EPS forecast this year to March 2010 (the company recorded 0.39p for the first half to 30th September) and the EPS of 1.27p for March 2011 into which the majority of first year of earnings from the contract will fall. Even so this looks like excellent news for Red 24 which is hardly expensive on the basis of existing forecasts. Thus even if this contract only goes to shore up the March 2011 outlook, the company looks great value at just over 6x March 2010 and under 5x 2011 earnings. BUY.

More good news!

Also, the maiden div was paid into my account yesterday...can't be bad...onwards and upwards! ......

red24 plc ("red24" or "the Group")

Contract for Special Risk Consultancy

red24 is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with another North American based assurance company to provide kidnap and ransom consulting services. The contract is for an initial period of three years to provide advice worldwide and, where necessary, the appropriate response services.

Simon Richards, Chairman, commented:

"Towards the end of last year we identified special risk services as a potential area of growth which complements our core operations and which has significant cross selling opportunities with our existing business. We therefore invested in a highly skilled team which is based in the USA and can leverage our outstanding Crisis Response Management Centre in Cape Town. The initial response has been very encouraging and this latest agreement is the third special risk contract that we have achieved in a short space of time. This is further evidence of the progress being made by the business as a whole and underpins our confidence in the future."

More good news...:-)

Buy red24 at 7.75p

Says exclusive small cap specialist website UKMicrocap.com

In a recent ShareCrazy.com (sign up for free here) review of HSBC Chairman Stephen Green's book Good Value, it was noted how he explained globalisation has now passed the point of no return - the internet, in particular, seen as "spinning the threads of culture and commerce into the furthest corners of the world". red24 is a play on this phenomenon as the company provides global security services to corporates and partners and with continuing security uncertainty across the world as well as attractive P&L, balance sheet and cash flow profiles and a lowly rating, its shares, at 7.75p, are a "buy".

Company Description:
Founded in 2000, red24 is a security risk management and training provider. It operates from offices in England and South Africa, as well as having a presence in the United States and other areas of the world, and through two divisions;

red24 security - provides a range of preventative (e.g. intelligence and advice) and reactive (e.g. 24-hour emergency response service) solutions to help individuals and businesses avoid and manage security risks to themselves and their staff.

Training - accredited training courses for security managers.

Financials & Trading:
The company's most recent results were for the six months ended 30th September 2009. Released on 5th November, these showed a 16.7% increase in pre-tax profit to GBP231,000 on revenue just over 16% higher at GBP1.87 million. Earnings per share increased from 0.39p to 0.43p and a maiden 0.15p dividend was also declared - which the company emphasised it aims to make "a regular part of shareholder returns".

Before changes in receivables and payables (-GBP286,000) and debt repayment (-GBP130,000), the company generated GBP264,000 - with its cash flow facilitating GBP125,000 of the GBP130,000 of debt repayment to be the early repayment of loan notes. At period end the balance sheet showed net cash of GBP309,000, net current assets of GBP278,000 and net tangible assets of GBP414,000.

The red24 security business increased operating profit (before unallocated head office costs) by 12.7% to GBP426,000 on revenue almost 30% higher at GBP1.5 million. Whilst still robust, the profit growth was held back by two thirds of the additional revenue being at lower margin than budgeted and by the impact of the strength of the rand which has increased the costs of the company's Crisis Risk Management Centre in Cape Town. However, the company noted the growth in the revenue stream for this segment "augurs well for the medium term prospects for the business".

The training business saw more difficult trading conditions, though it remained profitable to the tune of GBP44,000 (against GBP51,000) as revenue fell by just over 19% to GBP368,000. However, it noted "overseas work continues to grow and prospects for the second half appear encouraging so that the year as a whole should turn out to be more profitable than last year".

Management:
Chairman Simon Richards is a Chartered Accountant with more than twenty years of experience in corporate management.

Managing Director Maldwyn Worsley-Tonks is a former Lieutenant Colonel in the British Army, with over ten years of experience in the security industry. He is a specialist in corporate contingency planning and disaster recovery.

Non-Executive Director John Mocatta, also a Chartered Accountant, has vast corporate finance and directorship experience.

Bull Points:
- Increasing globalisation and security uncertainty

- Cash generative with positive balance sheet

- Post-results contract wins

- Total dividend yield of 4.1% should the 0.15p interim payout be repeated at full-year

Bear Points:
- High dependence on one or two key accounts, though the customer base is being broadened

- High dependence on key personnel

- Continuing strength of the South African Rand and mention of some margin pressures

*The value of investments can go down as well as up. Past performance is no guarantee of future success. Investing in equities can lose you part or all of your capital. The tips given here are of necessity, general. They cannot relate to the individual circumstances of investors. Anyone considering following the recommendations contained here should seek independent advice. Smaller company shares usually suffer a wider bid offer spread the blue chips and can be illiquid and hard to sell and must therefore be deemed higher risk investments.

Recommendation:
The interim results put red24 on course to at least meet current year forecasts and news just over a week after those results of deals with two major insurance underwriters in the United States which are anticipated to "add a minimum of $700,000 of additional revenue over the next calendar year" suggest the forecasts should prove quite conservative. However, even on these numbers the current 7.75p share price represents an earnings multiple of 7.8 falling to 6. Considering this is a cash generative company which already has net cash and is expected to grow earnings by 30% in a year just 3 months away, this rating looks far too low.

Given the stated factors, even an earnings multiple of 10 seems unsatisfactory - though would suggest a pretty short-term target price of 13p. With this before mentioning that even if the 0.15p interim dividend is only repeated at the full-year stage, the overall dividend yield would be 4.1% (and with the spread on the share price not appearing too severe), red24 is a "buy".

From RNS a couple of days ago....

Good to see borrowing down to virtually nil now. 500k paid off over the last 24 months or less with a consequesnt decrease in financing cost ---> higher profit.

'Trading continues to be in line with market expectations and will benefit from the strengthening of the balance sheet.'

..looking fwd to the results end May/beg June...ought to be good with div confirmation etc...expect to see further gradual rise in the sp in the run up..imho

It's looking good...should see a very positive trading update end Sept/beg Oct and break the 10p level!.(imho)

No update yet so now expect an anouncement in a few weeks of when they plan to release the interims.
They will probably say that the results will be in line with expectations or a little ahead.
I'm still in for a while longer on this one.. now expect to see 12p late spring (imho & dyor, etc)..surprised that this hasn't moved up abit already!

Results are out.... not brilliant hence the pull back in the sp over the last week or two..... but nice increase in the div.

After an initial spike I expect the sp to continue to drift down to 6p-ish level over winter b4 perking up in the spring (unless we get good news of contract/deals)
Hope I'm wrong and the sp doubles...but can't see it happening...will continue to hold.. (imho & dyor.

RED 24 HAVE HUGE POTENTIAL

Red24 set to make $0.7m next year from two new risk consulting contracts in US
Friday, November 13, 2009 Shares in Red24 (AIM: REDT) were in demand this morning after the security company announced contract wins with two major insurance underwriters in the US to provide special risk consulting services.

The first agreement is for an initial period of three years in the field of product contamination, while the second deal is for the special risk services, representing a first sales success for the additional staff hired in autumn. The contracts are expected to add US$0.7 million of additional revenues over the next calendar year.

In the company's half yearly statement we announced that the company had taken on additional staff to offer a fuller range of special risk advice and I am delighted that this has led to such immediate success. These contracts are further evidence of the solid progress being made by the business and underpin our confidence in the future, said chairman Simon Richards.

Red24 released its interim results earlier this month, reporting a revenue increase of 16% to 1.87 million and a pre-tax profit of 231,000 compared to last years 198,000. Growth in the customer base led to a 30% increase in its segment revenues. The company also managed to renew its contract with AIG Travel Assist Inc for security assistance services for another five years, which it said supported its strategy of expanding business in the Americas and Asia.

Shares in the company rose 8% on the news this morning.
