The JUST Group has earned the RICH members' tag as the "tip of the month".

The leading integrated licensing and visual media company has just announced pre-tax profits in its interim results to the end of October of £1.23 million - an increase over last year's interims of 64 per cent.

Having acquired Optical Image in September, turnover increased to £6.5 million and it has since acquired MediaKey. Both the new buys add to the company's creative power and improve its position as a children's entertainment group.

But licensing remains at the heart of the business. And while those Martians may be Butt-Ugly, they have attracted licence take-ups by major companies, most notably Habro.

All the same, who can be certain whether Just desserts will be good or bad?
