NetPlayTV plc (AIM:NPT), the interactive gaming company, is pleased to announce its Q3 KPIs.

· Strong Q3 performance

Average daily net revenue was up 19% on the same period last year despite the exceptionally hot weather which led to a reduction in the total number of players during the month of July.



Mobile and tablet performed very well in the quarter and continue to make a significant contribution to the Group's overall net revenue, increasing 171% on the same period in the prior year and 6% quarter on quarter.

During the period the Group's brand SuperCasino.com embarked on a major sponsorship deal by undertaking the sponsorship of Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother. This initiative proved very successful and contributed to new depositing players increasing by 30% on the same period last year.



The Directors are pleased with the company's continued strong performance and are confident of meeting full year market expectations.

Still very undervalued imo , plenty of upside and happy to hold.

Rated a strong buy from Simon T today of IC, upgraded his target to 24p.

Simon T - It's worth noting that Daniel Stewart has a price target of 25p, Sanlam has a target of 22p and N+1 Singer has a valuation range between 22.5p to 26p on the shares based on this year's earnings estimates, rising to a range 27p to 31p next year

I'm staying in for the long term

25 Oct Sanlam... 22.00 Buy

Some bloody rampers on here .... ChooChoo , geez says it all !!!

:-)

... 30p by xmas or I'm not English :-)

Being serious the good thing is dream it's just me and you at the moment. If they keep hitting forecasts then the re-rating is just a matter of time.

No doubt your mate halifax knows better ... I base all my buy and sell decisions on his take of things honest ... I do hope he thinks these are crap :-)

Good luck dream.

Cheers Dil.

Dil your wasted you should have been a comedian. lol Who said he is. :-))

Simon T of IC has a 24p price target.

Acquisition of Vernons.com

RNS


RNS Number : 8169R

Netplay TV PLC

On behalf of:

NetPlay TV plc (together with its subsidiaries, 'the Group' or 'NetPlay' or 'NetPlayTV')

NetPlayTV plc

Acquisition of Vernons.com

· Strategic acquisition enhancing NetPlay's scale and product offering

· Significant synergy opportunities will allow quick and efficient integration

· Includes Vernons.com registered user base of 367,000

· Expected to be earnings enhancing within first year

· Cash consideration of £3m funded through NetPlay's existing cash resources



NetPlayTV, the interactive gaming group, is pleased to announce that it has purchased Vernons.com, the e-gaming division of Sportech plc, from Sportech (Alderney) Limited ("Sportech")

Vernons.com operates an online casino, bingo, poker and sports book ("Vernons"). The acquisition includes the brand, customer database and various other gaming assets. The purchase, through the Group's subsidiary NetPlayTV Group Limited in Alderney, is for a total consideration of £3 million, which will be satisfied in cash from NetPlay's cash resources. In addition, Sportech have agreed to contribute £0.1m towards NetPlay's restructuring and integration costs which will be settled in full, in cash, on completion.

The significant synergy opportunities will ensure efficient integration and immediate profitability. Vernons draws the majority of its revenue from online casino, operates on the same software platform as NetPlay, and both parties have operations in Guernsey.

The acquisition provides the Group with further product differentiation, and it will cross market its existing live roulette TV product by offering it to Vernons' customer database post integration. In addition, the Group has signed a memorandum of understanding which will enable it to offer Sportech's football pools to NetPlay's customer base.

Vernons achieved an operating profit in the 12 months ended 31 December 2012 of £1.1 million on total revenue of £4.8 million. In the six months ended 30 June 2013, Vernons made an operating loss of £0.7m on total revenue of £2.8m. The acquisition is deemed a substantial transaction under the AIM rules for companies.



Commenting on the acquisition, Charles Butler, NetPlay said:

"I am very pleased to announce the acquisition of the well-known Vernons.com brand and its customer base. The acquisition, which will be immediately earnings enhancing, fits very well with the Group's core business, adds scale and customer reach, and will be integrated quickly and efficiently to realise the excellent operational synergies.

"This represents the acceleration of our strategy to grow through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. We look forward to investing further in our proven marketing strategy for Vernons.com alongside our existing brands and continuing to drive value for shareholders."

NetPlay: Daniel Stewart shifts target price from 25p to 27p and keeps a buy recommendation.

Should be earnings enhancing and perhaps we can see some movement in this share.
It is one of Simon Thompson's picks from Investors C.

Thanks David, closed up 8.55 %

Simon T today from IC - I have no hesitation in upgrading my fair value target price again from 24p to 28p and would use the current share price break-out above 20p as a major buy signal.

Wooo hooo dreamy baby .... every Tom , Dick and skinny be piling in soon :-)

Lol Dil.
