Penny Share Review 273

14 February 2005

Press

The ‘Investment Extra’ column of Saturday’s Daily Mail recommended Aerobox (ARX) and explained about how its technology could impact upon the air cargo industry. The Group hopes to win 10% of the market within a year and then ultimately achieve a 25% plus share, making it the industry standard. The paper believes the shares have a great deal of long-term promise, but that investors may need patience. Shares in the Group advanced by 1.25p to 19.00p this morning.

Saturday’s Independent reported on the suspension in the shares of Caplay (CLY), after the former CEO, Ken Murray obtained a court order freezing the Company’s bank accounts. Mr Murray is seeking £750,000 from Caplay, which he claims to be owed under the terms of his contract. He lost his initial claim, but is still pursuing the Company through the courts. The papers said that even if he wins the appeal, he looks set to lose hundreds of thousands of pounds, as he is limited to claiming a maximum benefit of one years salary and benefits. The shares remain suspended.

According to the Daily Express on Saturday, shares in Matrix Communications (MXC.L) rose on Friday due to speculation that a deal with Vodafone could be announced within the next few days. Matrix shares nudged up by 4.5p to 237.5p on Monday.

Netcall (NTC) was profiled in the Business, following its recent move into profit, as a result of higher sales and reduced costs. The article explained about the business model and the success of its QueueBuster software for call centre customers. The papers concluded, news that the business model works and the Company is building a market for QueueBuster has seen the shares rise to 20p and “they could go higher. Buy”. The shares stormed higher by 5.25p to 30.25p this morning.

Monday Morning prices above were taken just after 10.30am on 14 February 2005.
