NetPlayTV is the UK's largest interactive TV gaming company. We use our extensive knowledge of creating profitable games with our proven ability to create great TV show formats. Applying this unique combination, we develop highly successful brands that people can play on TV, online and on their mobile.

From TV bingo to live blackjack. From televised fixed odds draws to mobile quiz games NetPlayTV is building a strong reputation for delivering interactive products that customers love to play. At NetPlayTV, the customer is at the heart of everything we do. Our acquisition, retention, VIP, loyalty and customer service programmes are world class, which is why our players stay with us longer and have higher lifetime values than our competitors.

We see little point in developing technology for technologists. Our aim is quite simple - "To deliver an interactive gaming experience to the mass market". We achieve this by using the flexibility of the Internet, linked with the trusted medium of TV. By combining these two powerful pieces of technology we can offer the consumer products and services that are not only fun but extremely easy to use.

The Company

NetPlayTV plc was admitted to trading on The London Stock Exchange, Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in April 2001. The Company was established in 2000 to develop and market a complete range of mass-market entertainment and information products through IVR, SMS, online and offline.

In December 2006, the Group underwent a significant change when the fixed line telephony business was sold and the TV gaming business was acquired. NetPlayTV has a strong marketing led focus backed by an extremely strong technical team. We currently offer the following interactive services:

From IC -

It's not often you get the opportunity to buy shares in a company for three times next year's earnings estimates, net of a substantial cash pile, when the business is in a strong upgrade cycle and where brokers have upgraded estimates not once, but twice in the past six months.

But that is exactly what is on offer from gaming company Netplay TV

(NPT: 12.5p), which issued yet another bullish trading update to shareholders a few weeks ago. The company operates a number of interactive gaming services under an Alderney gaming licence including Supercasino.com and Jackpot247.com. These services can be viewed 24 hours a day on Sky Channel 862, in the evening on FIVE, and for five nights a week on ITV1. New customers are certainly tuning in as Netplay attracted a further 2,000 new depositing casino players in the final quarter of 2012 to take this segment of the business to almost 14,000 customers, which in turn represents a 51 per cent increase over the course of 2012. Interestingly, the business is gaining traction with mobile and tablet players: this segment accounted for 31 per cent of all new deposits, a fourfold increase on a year ago. As a result, Netplay currently has 25,376 active depositing casino players across all platforms (mobile, internet and television), a 43 per cent rise on the fourth quarter of 2011 and a 13 per cent rise on the third quarter of last year.

Importantly, after factoring in higher marketing spend and TV advertising, which has been pulling in the new players, these customer acquisitions are proving highly profitable. In fact, analyst Johnathan Barrett at N+1 Singer, who had already upgraded his profit and earnings estimates by 16 per cent in September after bumper half-year figures, has just upgraded full-year numbers by a further 12 per cent. On that basis, last year's revenues are forecast to have risen by 20 per cent to £26.8m, which lifts both adjusted pre-tax profits and EPS by 50 per cent to £3.6m and 1.2p, respectively.

Interestingly, given the operational gearing of the business, the latest 12 per cent upgrade in earnings was driven by a just 3.8 per cent additional rise in revenues. That's worth noting because Mr Barrett has only modestly upgraded his 2013 and 2014 estimates based on Netplay "continuing to aggressively invest in marketing spend (circa 50 per cent growth), but without an automatic assumption that it achieves the same strong returns that have been generated by the recent strategy". In other words, if Netplay can maintain the momentum in attracting new signs ups, there is a good chance that earnings estimates for this year and next could be exceeded, which opens the door for further upgrades. However, even without them, the company looks too lowly valued.

For example, based on a 15 per cent rise in revenue this year, as N+1 Singer predicts, pre-tax profits are set to rise by 20 per cent to £4.3m to produce EPS of 1.4p. This assumes player growth of 15 per cent which, from my lens, looks conservative. The respective figures for 2014 are revenues of £33.6m, pre-tax profits of £5.4m and EPS of 1.8p. So, on that basis, the shares, trading on a spread of 12.25p to 12.5p, are rated on only nine times current year earnings estimates, falling to 7 times 2014 forecasts. Moreover, having paid a maiden dividend of 0.15p a share at the time of the half-year results in September, analysts expect a final dividend of 0.25p a share to be declared by the board when Netplay announces its full-year results in April. If they are right, then the prospective yield is 3.2 per cent.

If that isn't enticing enough, it's also worth pointing out that Netplay is a highly cash-generative business with a strong balance sheet. At the end of June, for example, the company was sitting on net cash of £10.5m and this is expected to have subsequently swelled to around £11.7m - the equivalent of 4p a share or a third of the current share price. In other words, strip out low-yielding cash and the shares, at 12p, are trading on a miserly 6 times 2013 earnings estimates. But it gets better because assuming Netplay hits those 2013 estimates, the year-end cash pile will swell even further to £15.1m, or 5.3p a share. To put that into perspective, unless the share price starts making progress, by the end of this year Netplay will be trading on only 5 times 2013 earnings net of cash. And by the end of 2014, when the cash pile is forecast to increase to £19.1m, worth 6.6p a share, net of cash, the forward PE ratio drops to three.

At that level Netplay's shares are deep into bargain basement territory and, in my view, offer a tantalising 44 per cent upside on a six-month basis to my 18p conservative target price. For good measure the share price is on the verge of major break-out. Strong buy.

Been in these for 2yrs at 40p haven't done me no good so far.,.

A good gain today.

''Been in these for 2yrs at 40p haven't done me no good so far.'',. wow Bb you purchased right at the top, as they have only ever hit 46p odd.
