I bought at 20 and cashed in half when they reached 44, so I thought I'd let it ride.

I've increased my holding sub 50p

A bit of a rollercoaster, but looks to be on the up again

I'm not a holder of GBO, but for anyone interested here this has been posted this morning on another bulletin board!

"GBO SHORT"

http://uk.advfn.com/cmn/fbb/thread.php3?id=30753660

Anyone interested in starting a "class action" (collective) against this group of market manipulators?

The aim would be:

1. To show fatty & co they can't do this without becoming a target themselves,
& quite rightly too.

2. With sufficient media exposure (hardly a problem these Facebook days), to shame the FCA & others (FCA dependent on the Exchequer) to get a set of teeth, MYA & do their job.

3. Show the rest of society how useless authority has been in bringing markets under control, expecting us to pay for the bail-outs instead.

4. To link with those on other Financial sites to join in - "L'unité fait la force".

5. A high profile barrister should be able to nail the libel & false accusations, as well as quantify the damage in £St terms.

6. Get GBO's management (& other BODs) to wake up instead of put up. They, after all, are there to protect shareholder intesrests (of which they are often a part).

I'm open to suggestions, not claiming the "Mr Big" role in this (I live abroad anyway, not in/near London) but will be happy to participate actively in my small way.


IMO, if this snowballs, we'll be neding a reasonable amount of readies, as in 250 participants @ £100 each,

or to find a US-style lawyer who works on commission!.... Doesn't mean that my pupose is to get money/profit from this, but it makes things much easier.

I've started a new thread for this, and only this, purpose. Fatty's gang might well turn up to try & disrupt, but they've done that anyway!

It would be good if this here thread were not congested by this theme, so please post over there for this purpose. IMO a 24hr gestation period to just get a form of participation together before looking further would be a good idea.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thursday, 31 October 2013


Globo Plc ('Globo' or 'the Group')

Q3 trading update & publication of additional information

Trading update

So far in the second half of 2013, Globo has continued to achieve strong growth with revenues for the nine months ended 30 September 2013 up 58 per cent on the same period in 2012 to €50.01 million. This performance, which is ahead of management expectations, reflects growth in demand in both the enterprise and consumer businesses.

Overall, cash flows during the third quarter have generated positive free cash flow of €0.4 million resulting in a net cash position for the Group of €11.2 million (30/6/2013: €10.8 million). The Board is confident that cash flow will further improve as the Group continues to penetrate more mature markets which will improve the rate of collection of receivables.

Since the interim results, the Group has completed the acquisition of Notify Technologies Inc. to augment the GO!Enterprise offering. The subsequent fundraising of £24 million (gross) has strengthened the balance sheet and provides the basis for further expansion. As a result, and combined with continuing profitable growth, the Board is confident in the Group's future financial performance.

Publication of additional information

Following the announcement of 28 October 2013, Globo has published additional information which provides further insight into:

a) the disposal of 51 per cent of Globo Technologies S.A. ("GT") in December 2012;
b) revenue recognition, collection of receivables and working capital; and
c) R&D capitalisation and amortisation and its financial impact.

This information is available on Globo's website at http://www.globoplc.com/default.aspx?lang=en-GB&page=14.

Disposal of 51 per cent of Globo Technologies S.A ("GT")

The decision to dispose of GT followed careful consideration of a range of factors including the management decision to focus on expanding the Group's international mobile business.

The consideration of €11.2 million was based on an independently verified valuation of GT, and the Group has received prompt payment of the amounts due under the payment schedule, which is up to date.

Net debt of €0.23 million (consisting of debt of €7.29 million and cash of €7.06 million) was transferred to GT as part of the disposal.
No trade receivables due to Globo were moved off-balance sheet as part of the disposal.

Since disposal, GT has operated independently of Globo with no management relationship existing between GT and the Group.

Revenue recognition, collection of receivables and working capital

Revenue is recognised in accordance with the Company's accounting policies, in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS), set out in the 2012 annual report.

Collection of receivables is in accordance with Globo's terms of business which reflect local factors, including currency export and other regulations that apply in different countries.

R&D capitalisation and amortisation

Globo's accounting policies for R&D capitalisation and amortisation fully comply with IFRS and have been consistently applied since inception.

Further improvements in the product line and a significant shift towards Western markets are underway as we focus our efforts on establishing Globo in Enterprise Mobility, one of the biggest global technology markets.



Globo is attracting major interest from international partners and customers that chose to invest in our technology, as well as being recognised by leading firms of industry analysts.



We are delighted that our shareholders recognise the progress we are making and support our growth strategy."

Some shorts getting closed out I would imagine to today's move higher.

Directors buying

Thats the shorters out then.

RBC reiterates outperform rec today, tp 110p

Chief exec Costa Papadinitrakopoulos (that's what I call a big league name!) purchases 150,000 shares at 65 p.

A 15% fall not good.

Followed by 15% rise. Staying put for the time being, I still think it will end up higher once the shorters move on.

"We are proud to be recognised as a leader in our industry," said Costis Papadimitrakopoulos, founder and CEO of Globo.

Globo revenues up 57%
StockMarketWire.com
Globo - the international provider of enterprise mobility management and telecom software products and solutions - achieved a strong financial performance for 2013, ahead of market expectations.

It says revenues for the full year from continuing operations grew 57% to 72m and profits will be in line with market forecasts.

Growing sales of GO!Enterprise resulted in an increased operating profit cash conversion ratio of around 80% for the full year.

It says 2013 will be the second consecutive year of positive free cash flow, before the impact of acquisitions.

Globo's year-end cash position was 64m (2012: 19m) and net cash position was 42m (2012: 14m).

At 8:18am: (LON:GBO) Globo PLC share price was +5.38p at 62.38p


Story provided by StockMarketWire.com

After reporting a 57% increase in revenues one would expect the share price to be rising, but it isn't. Hopefully this is a temporary lull and GLOBO will continue to rise.

From someone sending an e-mail to Costis regarding the posts by Simon Cawkwell and got the following reply:

Dear Mr
We are aware of this already. We appreciate your frustration as we also feel the same way.
Globo is stronger than ever, and our business grows everyday.
I hope our trading statement, issued on the 28th January, is very clear.
Our Nomad and Legal advisors are looking at it and any action required will be taken.

Thank you for your trust in Globo
Best regards
Costis Papadimitrakopoulos

Shares Magazine last Thursday

Mobile enterprise plat form developer GIobo (GBO:AIM) has definitely beaten off last year’s bear raid attack with 2013 a landmark one for the company on so many levels.

GO!Enterprise has established itself in the important US market wherethere is clear demand. Revenues from the platform jumped 155% last year to close on €31 million, pushing total sales to a record €72 million, up 57%. Important progress has also come in turning profits to cash with an 80% conversion rate achieved. We’ll get full details in April but as revenues continue to build the difference between capitalized costs and amortisation are falling into line, down from €6.3 million in 2011 to €3.4 million in 2012, and €1.7 million in the first half of 2013, excluding the effect of acquisitions. Shares readers had the opportunity to get in early at 21p by following us. Yet success to date will be surpassed in 2014 as scale builds thanks to several key reseller agreements.

Shares says :
We still see a bright future for Globo and think the shares are likely to hit a 90p analyst target price in 2014.

Been quiet here recently and rather frustrating. Numbers are good, so value will out in the end.

A lot of tech related companies seem to be struggling price wise at the moment.
