Arcontech Group (ARC) feels the need to RNS contracts worth £115k PA. Well that is 8% of T/O. Lost money last 5y. F/C 4/3p this yr though!
Indigovision Group (IND) FY tradng: "expects to report a profitable outcome for the year to 31 December 2016 as a whole.

Smallcap Sweep. 06-Dec-16
Real Good Food returns to form and it's not sweet.

Dialight (DIA) trading. "Following a good November performance and looking forward to the prospects for December, the Group is now targeting an underlying EBIT (including FX) for the year ending 31 December 2016 materially ahead of expectations." Closed my short on this, thought they'd miss.
Porvair (PRV) exp FY beat. Weak £ no benefit yet due to hedging.
600 Group (SIXH) H1 flat but order book risen to 30% above prior year and new quotation activity remains high.
Sareum Holdings (SAR) following Sept's licensing deal, they are handing some of the profits to the board in case they are tempted to bugger off for more money. Will have vote to approve - credit there,
Real Good Food (RGD) H1. Prepare for disappointment. Totte followers know the drill. "Sales trends for the key third quarter are in line with expectations to date and we anticipate significant year on year growth in EBITDA in the second half. However, we face some challenges due to the recent weakening of sterling and increased raw material prices and the timing of price recovery. This, as well as the uncertainty in commodity pricing in particular at Garrett Ingredients, means that, while we expect our year end EBITDA to be ahead of last year, there is a risk that it could fall short of current market estimates."
AB Dynamics PLC (ABDP) placing at 475p, 5% discount for the new factory, sorry 'manufacturing facility', and accelerated R&D.

Veltyco Group (VLTY) "trading in Q4 has been strong, particularly in the binary options marketing business. Given current levels of business, the Board expects the results for the year ending 31 December 2016 to be ahead of market expectations." Er, nowt to say on the proposed binary-options clampdown?

Proxama (PROX) Trading and Funding update. "expect to announce in the near term a very significant US partner relationship which should accelerate sales across that market." Sale of Digital Payments Division: "we have had to extend the sale process into 2017. The Company remains committed to the sale and we believe that it will be completed." Then the sucker punch: £1.8m issue of convertible loan notes ("Convertible Loan Notes") to Darwin Capital. You know, the Death Spiral financing chaps. Bargepole,

Chenavari Capital (CCSL) To enter wind down of assets from 1 Jan. Exp "current portfolio will be substantially realised (assuming no assets are sold or otherwise disposed of) and over 90% of the projected cash proceeds returned to investors before the end of 2020."

Audioboom Group (BOOM) trading. FY rev to beat mkt f/c and reach £1.3m. Wow! Take that sceptics. "The rate of growth in 2016 has continued to accelerate from H1 to H2" Boom! "Due to acceleration in audience acquisition costs and higher recruitment fees to acquire USA commercial head count, the Company expects its EBITDA loss for the full year to be greater than market expectations." So they've just spent like crazy to buy sales. Baaaaaaaregpole.

Ilika (IKA) wins £320k of grant money to develop a power source for McLaren Applied Technologies' wireless sensing platform. Good news, big name, IoT, but why is the Govt shovelling money to connect a solar cell to a battery that Ilika is already developing?

Severfield (SFR) It's 50/50 JV wins £29m contract in India.

BooHoo (BOO) guides higher and excercises its option to acquire 66% of PrettyLittleThing for £3.3m. Leaves 34% as incentives for mgmt. Family connection, became an 'issue'.

Smallcap Sweep. 23-Dec-16

Redcentric (RCN) H1. "The forensic review [of misstated accounts] and subsequent remedying actions will result in an exceptional charge of approximately £1m for the current financial year. Banks remain fully supportive."
Artilium (ARTA) buys Belgium's ELLO Mobile for €300k. "Ello Mobile currently donates its entire profit to social-minded and non-profit charity project...[Artilium] has committed to donate a minimum of €50,000 per annum to charitable organisations in each of the three years following completion of the Acquisition." So they are going to take most of the profit now. That's rather tacky.
OptiBiotix Health (OPTI) proposes to extend some warrant end dates by 6 years. Worse, a director holds some. Nomad Cairn happy of course.
