    Hi Steve,

    I just wrote you a long reply and something happened to the thread while I was doing it, so it went into cyber-space and I couldn't locate it again!

    I love this micro-cap zone. I used to use a $20m market cap as a benchmark for a growing company turning a first profit, but these post-GFC days there are some solid profitable stocks there at well below. Many of them just became so illiquid that they were sold to ridiculous lows and buyers have never found the courage to push them back to a price where liquidity could emerge again.

    I've looked at 75% of these shares in the past 12 months. One I liked best was MBD. I'd also be happy enough to own EMB or SNL, but I can't see them doing a fast multibag. I have a mental note to re-look at CLQ, particularly after todays announcement and price action. GLE is in my net-net portfolio. RZR will do well if they can even announce one new sale - but the longer they drag on, the less likely that is looking! SOO interests me, but I've never bought - seems an uncertain area. PTB made it as far as my watchlist, but I haven't watched it very closely...

    Otherwise, I'd squeeze in HIT if I could (cos I'm biased since I got them at 2.5cps and might want to sell them again one day!) - revenue is under $10m though. AMO (also a net-net) just squeezed under your $10m market cap on todays price too - and the buyback might keep it from falling much lower.

    Flemo - Is it hard to add another filter, removing dividend paying companies?

    That is something I don't want from my micro caps.

    Why not? I would have thought that sometimes a dividend is the only thing that will get a neglected and illiquid share on the radar.

    KW/Liz - I understand where you are coming from, but right now only have a hole in my portfolio for a short/medium term bagger. In my mind, I don't see big div paying micro caps producing that. But very keen to have other stocks (and knowledge) in the bank when the time comes

    In my experience, both investing and working I worry about small companies paying large dividends. The big thing is the strong hint from management towards maturity/unable to find NPV+ projects. Also, in many cases companies like this restricting their growth (by giving it back to shareholders), also restricts themselves building that economic moat, or competitive advantage. Because in time, (I think) these small companies will either get chipped away at or totally swallowed by a major (CLQ from China?) who have the advantage of more resources and scale.

    This is quite theoretical thinking however. I need to follow more of these companies to see what can pan out. And also understand the shareholder bases of these companies to get an understanding on what they think of dividends.

    Default PEH - Pacific Environment Ltd

    PEH not on the list yet, but maybe one to make it in the next 12 months.

    Listed 2008 at 50cps and acquired environmental consultancy and software type businesses. Got themselves into financial difficulty, particularly after one acquisition supposed to double the size of the business, suddenly ended up in VA a few months later (during the GFC).

    Have historically produced about $7m revenue and losses, but HY revenue up 20% to $4.6m, so may see them getting $9-$10m revenue this year. Also maiden HY profit of $154k, but would have been about $465k if litigation costs (associated with failed business) and share based payments were excluded. Market cap $10m at 10cps. Balance sheet now strengthened with support of major shareholders, leaving net debt of $1m at last tally.

    Overall, can't decide if they are poor operators or just caught some bad-luck in timing their listing and acquisitions. They seem to employ a lot of bright staff and they should be in a good area with specialist emissions consulting. The bump up in first half profit could be interesting if momentum is maintained in second half.

    Default Savcor Group - SAV

    Would have to hope SAV could make it on the list this year. Market cap is $13m and they have just restructured the business, leaving only Savcor ART strand. With $80m revenue, would have to be some hope they can turn a profit... however, if they can't, the business has to be on the line. Furthermore, they still have a few tough EBIT covenants around debt, so it's a somewhat risky call, especially around December.

    Either try to pick it off the chart or wait for the May agm when they should give some indication as to how the year is going.
