The company issued a clarification this morning that the contract is basically worth $10 million per annum after the initial ramp up phase. Not bad considering revenue last year was $41 million, but the 40% jump in the share price yesterday seems a bit of a knee jerk reaction.

I am a huge fan of this company and its potential, I can't see that it has any meaningful competition but its progress in signing up other states outside NSW seems to be woeful, growth of the PISA program seems to have stalled, and the sudden departure of CEO David Caspari has not been explained satisfactorily.

The new CEO has excellent credentials, so I'll hang in there. Come on Janison, its time to lift your game.

I hear you @Foolednomore! Im still hesitant to top up and average down right now - am wanting to see what the new CEO brings to the table first. Would have been good if this win was under her leadership - it would inspire confidence, but she only starts in the next 1-2 months I think.
