Topped the share charts on Friday following a lucrative contract announcement and is rumoured to have several more contracts in the pipeline.

Thank you dc. Nice chunky buy just gone through - 3.8million @ 2.45p

DC

Thanks for that link. To be one of the most followed companies even on a day when there is no RNS is quite an achievement. I'm not waiting for the next RNS and have topped up again today.

My guess is there could be another RNS very soon re "Holdings in the company". Perhaps Commerzbank increasing their stake.

Share price nudging up again after more buying pressure.

3.5million exchange announced after the close tonight.

Edit - time given as 10.09.

Doodlebug

On LSE it shows as two separate delayed 3.5m trades on on 28th May one at 10.09.45 and the other at 10.09.55.That is almost 2% of the company. II's are certainly getting interested now.

Thank you for that info 4Pete.

Errr so someone sold 3.5 million to someone who bought 3.5 million , what's so exciting about that ?

It was such a boring day on the markets yesterday Dil - anything happening at all was exciting. Well at least it woke me up!

lol

Dil

Both 3.5m trades show as buys on the LSE list of trades.

Another 3.5m buy today. Holdings RNS soon.

The movement in the share price today was significant, far more sells than buy yet the SP has risen well. I imagine that the explanation may lie in a big delayed trade or director buy that will perhaps show up tomorrow.

CEO's Statement

Coms made very little traction during the year 2012/13 and the actual financial performance was disappointing.

I was appointed CEO on the 9th January 2013 after investing my own money and embarked immediately on a turnaround of the business. However with only 3 weeks of the financial year remaining there was no time to make an impact upon the 2012/2013 fiscal year.



However the plans to turn the business around have been put in place, I have strengthened the Board and Management and clearly communicated the new focus and strategy for the business.



Overall, the market for hosted VoIP services continues to expand as customers seek alternative lower cost solutions to traditional fixed line carriers. The main market for Coms has always traditionally been SME businesses. However this will evolve and expand such that all customers large and small will be catered for within the new strategy. This can be demonstrated with the large contract win recently announced, amongst several other smaller contract wins and the positive activity the Company has announced since I have joined the business.



Following the placing announced on 14 May 2013, the finances of Coms are now on a stable footing and I am extremely excited and proud to be part of the new Coms plc story. I am very confident that the Group is now in good shape and under control. I look forward to working with the refocused Board and Management and to creating significant shareholder value.


David Breith

CEO

The RNS was exactly what we expected and it is good to have that one out of the way. Thank goodness that Drummond is gone (Although he still holds some shares). The future from here onwards looks extremely promising.

The market agrees with your last sentence 4PetesSake - nice intraday reversal and up 15.79% now.

A smart move by David Breith to get the Final Results out a month early and draw a line under the past. There's a clear statement of intent and confidence in his own ability and the ability of his team to deliver.

The significance of the quarterly trading update in the RNS on 13th May has probably been overlooked my many who perhaps concentrated on comparing the annual losses to the previous year. My reason for saying this is that on 13th May the SP fell by 15.5% from 2.58p to 2.18p, whereas if people had spent time analysing the update, the SP should have risen.

The figures in the update also allowed us to compare compare Coms’s Trading Update for the 3 months ending 30th April (exc. Vcomm which has been sold) to the previous 12 month figure and it make for very positive reading.

For the 12 months ending 31 Jan:

Turnover – £1,600,00
Gross Profit – £950,000
Ebitda – £850,000 (loss)

For the 3 months ending 30th April: (All under DB)

Turnover – £570.000
Gross Profit – £331,000
Ebitda – £59,000 (loss)

The massive improvement in the Ebitda is a real indication of the way that the company is being turned around. However when you then factor in the new big contract that was announced right at the end of the quarter on 26th April then you can see what a game changer that is.

The revenue from that contract alone amounts to £1,875,000 per quarter.

The Company's new in-direct sales (wholesale) division has also built a pipeline of sales prospects, which represents a potential of just over £7m annualised revenue or £1,750,000 per quarter.

The retail division has also won 3 new contracts with two NHS Trusts based in the North and a Police Constabulary based in the South East. Its sales pipeline is currently showing a potential gross margin of over £300,000 per quarter.

There is also the Government sales activity initiative (now enhanced by the G-Cloud iii accreditation) which is likely to generate additional sales for the remainder of this financial year and beyond.

Almost all this information is contained in the Trading Update RNS, I have just paraphrased it.

All this will make the trading update for the quarter ending 31st July very interesting reading. We will be no longer be looking at an Ebitda Loss but rather working out the margin of the positive Ebitda in relation to the turnover.

The chance of buying in much below the current SP is a pretty forlorn hope.
