Access Intelligence is a group of companies delivering a range of business
critical support services to private and public sector organisations.
The team of Directors, Jeremy Hamer, Brendan Austin, Colin Davies, Ian Savage
and Alwin Thompson, has extensive experience in making successful acquisitions
while simultaneously driving organic growth: in less than two years since
flotation, Access Intelligence has acquired and successfully integrated five
businesses in four different market segments.

The Group Today

Today, Access Intelligence is a technology-based Support Services Business. It
harnesses the power of internet-based Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to deliver vital information and support services. Specifically these are:

* Digital marketing services and business development support.
* Online and offline data storage back-up and retrieval
* Sourcing and procurement software for both buyers and suppliers in
industry and local government
* Electronic news and current awareness digests of Government initiatives,
policies and finance affecting business, the professions and the public sector

The Business Model

The majority of the Group's income is from repeating revenues delivered through
recurring contracts ranging between one and five years. This model provides
excellent visibility of future revenues and, with effective customer retention,
outstanding gross margins over the longer term.

The Strategy for Growth

The strategy is to acquire businesses which have good management and high growth potential that fit the revenue model while, at the same time, adding value to the Group's existing services.

The businesses acquired will have substantial autonomy to develop within budgets
agreed with the Group Chief Executive and Finance Director, whilst benefiting
from the experience and cross selling opportunities provided by being part of an
expanding group of companies.

At this stage of the Group's development, the Central Group Executive Team,
which is based in York, will be kept to a maximum of four people, including
support staff. The Non-Executive Directors will continue to be involved in
sourcing and evaluating potential acquisitions and monitoring the performance of
the Group.

Moving up nicely now, thanks for your effots Papal.

silvermede, I think the MM's got short today, but they did a nice combo play of gapped rollover, shake and delayed trades and managed to panic a few weak holders into selling.

Another day of buys like today and we should be breaking through 10p. The buys above 8p today are a very bullish sign and now we break out of the recent trend.

Current year (06) pr EPS is 0.75p, forward PER around times 8 and potential for upgrades I think given the bullish way the results are going to be announced this time.

Papal,

Any views on short and long term targets for the SP or wait until results?

Some coverage on UK-analyst.com email, should help raise the profile :) Silvermede, no the SP, but in my mind it should be in the 10p to 12.5p range, whether the market will put it there I do not know.

"Access Intelligence saw its shares move 1.25p ahead to 8p as investors bought in anticipation of full-year results. The numbers won't be released until early next month, however, confirmation of the results date was all that was needed to breathe life back into the stock."

I like the work you're doing on this thread papal power, this looks an interesting share. How much profit in terms of pounds did they make in the last year? You have called Leadcom and Vislink well. Although, I think vislink may be taking a breather. When you say the sp 10 -12.5 p depends on whether the market lets it go there. What do you mean by "the market"? Do you mean us, traders who make up part of the market, or do you mean "market makers" who set the prices or some shadowy other who endowns positive or negative sentiment onto shares. I ask a bit facetiously because a lot of people speak about "the market" as if it's some omnipotent force that has control over where a share price goes. Is it a euphemism for "the city" and basically their view on the shares?

Saintserf, I can only go with the broker notes and as they moved into profits during last year, weigthed with a move from loss to even to profit during the course of the 12 months, the broker forecasts in the header are for 170K of profit last year (2005) and for 610K profit this year (2006). I would hope these comign results will put ACC into the 7.5p to 10p range (around 9p would be good) with a break through into the 10p to 12.5p range after interims later this year (H2).
The "market', the "city" its all of us and all of them, everyone, if people buy into the grwoth story, and see the outlook strong for ACC with recurring revenues, then in time the price will rise along with the good news. Its best performance may come in 07/08/09 but certainly in 06 the start of the story should be seen, and therefore people should start to take notice.
The other turnaround one I am following in this "unloved" class in UNG. Recent price movements may suggest otherwise, but I thouroughly see that one as going into full year profits at March prelims, with a progressive div policy, and with a clear vision. On current year (06) forecasts its on a pr PER of 7 (if you believe the forecasts, I do)

I am a little surprised at the lack of interest in this gem.
Full results out in just over a week with for me the interesting
bit a mini presentation.
Eager to tell us how much dosh they have made....lol

It is quiet, but that in itself is sometimes a good sign ;) Most stock charts you see with big rises, if you go backwards, their BB's were very quiet before ;)

What's going on here then.
Suddenly awake. on zero trades
Must be some large buys coming through.

It's the start to a week of frantic buying before the results next wednesday Ted1!!!?!

kim

Lets hope so eh.
What price are we heady for 10p...12p...
Who knows

A heady one that's for sure!!
Kim

Nice moves today.

I'm in @7.5p from last week..... here's hoping !

PP, excellent moves on small volume, finals due wed 8th I believe, could gather a head of steam approaching them.
2517

Kim, no sign of frantic buying yet, but a tick up on a sell, just like yesterday.
2517

2517

Probably see a bit more movement Mon to Wed, buyers on the lookout for good Pre-Close updates, marrying them with finals date and then stacking up for a few days beforehand - those are the ones who will sell after the results irrespective of whether they are good or bad, I'm sticking with these long term no matter what! It was encouraging to see directors buying last October,usually a good sign.
kim

Kim
Yes directors buying is encouraging, although not massive amounts, I will be hanging on to mine as well, may even top up as I bought lower than the directors prices, I have PP to thank for bringing them to my attention.
2517

2517
Yes, you can usually count on PP to pick a good one - isn't that right PP?!
I usually shy away from Techy shares, there are so many companies out there and sooo many failures! ACC does seem solid and I have felt comfortable holding.
kim

There we go... afternoon tick up again..
Results out on Wednesday.
