BB I don't know if you have noticed but if you go to the Block Shield site and click on 'LINKS' it takes you to a page with reference to Boeing,do you know if there are any direct links between BLS and Boeing

Here's the link

From the interims...on RFID

-----------

RFID

The newly established RFID division has delivered on its initial promise. The Group has enjoyed strong demand for its RFID solutions and customer satisfaction with the efficiency and performance of our antennae has been consistently high. We have also made significant advances in completing our proprietary roll-to-roll machines for the mass-manufacture of RFID tags. Importantly, from a logistical and cost perspective, the manufacturing process is now fully integrated to enable the antennae to be created and incorporated in the tags as a single process. As to commercializing our RFID efforts, we have Joint RFID Tag Development Initiatives with each of Innovision PLC., RSI ID, ITN Energy Systems Inc., and Transcore Inc.. We expect to have the first RFID tag machine available for sale to our first RFID customer in the first quarter of next year. This product will constitute a turnkey manufacturing solution which will enable our customers to purchase RFID machines for mass-production of RFID tags within their own facilities. Such an offering is obviously commercially compelling in an environment where the key driver to market penetration is cost and volume production. We continue to remain confident that our solutions are able to provide the cheapest and consistently best quality antennae and tags from existing and currently anticipated technologies. We are now in advanced discussions with a number of customers targeted for the purchase of our RFID machines and will report on further progress in due course.

Good to see some press.

For my records as much as anything I suspect that, reading between the lines, this machine is the first of possibly many.

It means the machine passed rigorous testing and is a mass production machine - no more protypes and jam tomorrow - this is jam today.

At something £500,000 a pop that fact one has been sold may mean orders for other machines might come thick and fast from manufactures that want to keep up.

The royalty payments may also add up given RFID's are produced in the millions.

Very good potential and still undervalued imo. It will be interesting to see if we get a broker upgrade or research note to follow this new.

--------------------------------------


Following a rigorous assessment process, Mu-Gahut decided to purchase the first machine for $800,000 in order to secure an immediate production capacity for one of the American Indian Companies it is currently in negotiation with.

Mu-Gahut management has stated that the agreement with Block Shield will enable
them to cover short, medium and long term requirements in three key areas:

1. By procuring initial manufacturing capacity of RFID antennas based on Block
Shield's innovative process that best fits the purpose of equipping suitable
Native American companies

2. By acquiring technical and industrial know-how from a proven source capable
of supporting Native American manufacturers throughout the learning curve
associated with the transfer of technological and industrial know-how

3. By establishing a long standing partnership with a leading innovator of RFID
technical and industrial solutions

From london evening standard;-

Shares in Block Shield took on nearly 17%, adding 23p to 159½p after the group announced the sale of its first RFID manufacturing machine to Mu-Gahut for $800,000.

Mu-Gahut is a 100% Native American-owned technology marketing company.

[britishbear] 27/2/2006 14:18

Heading for the fastest riser leader boards - 18% and still moving.

The illiquidity of this stock is not to be understated hence large rise on low volume.

Research is also tricky which means a slow burn effect - google on WaveZero is the only way of getting some "on the ground" information on BLS.

[britishbear] 27/2/2006 08:35

DAFAD - agreed. The beauty is that BLS are not competing directly with RFID manufactures (a competitive business) but are supply essential patented kit that all RFID manufacturers need.

Seems a simple play on RFID generally and does not require one to pick the winner when there may be many many losers.

This is one of the certainty buy and holds. £1.80 is realistic short term I believe.

[dafad] 27/2/2006 08:30

BB Don't think many people have realised the potential of this co,especially with the electo shielding and Rfid applications,as you say when more people cotton on to the fact 180-200 will be reached pretty sharpish

[britishbear] 27/2/2006 08:25

Excellent start to the day. This is an illiquid stock that can really motor.

Have expected new highs for a while now and here we are - this is an underrated stock still off the radar of most small investors.

This may be changing.

This co has enormous potential!!

Sale of First RFID Manufacturing Machine

Embargoed Release: 07:00hrs Monday 27th February 2006

Block Shield Corporation Plc

(`Block Shield' or `the Company')

Sale of First RFID Manufacturing Machine and Participation in US Initiative to
Expand the Industrial Capabilities of Native American Tribal Organisations

Block Shield Corporation Plc, is pleased to announce that it has been selected
by Mu-Gahut LLC as a key supplier of capital items, technical support and
mass-production know-how for their major joint initiative - in association with
the US Federal Department's General Services Administration ('GSA') - to
elevate the industrial and technical capabilities of Native American Tribes
with the aim of enhancing social equality and economic status through increased
profitable economic growth and empowerment.

Consequently the Company is pleased to announce the sale of its first mass
production RFID antenna machine for US$800,000 under an extensive agreement
that includes options for further future machine sales and a range of
comprehensive licenses for ongoing technical support from Block Shield and its
wholly owned subsidiary, WaveZero.

Pier Antoniucci, CEO, commented:

"Block Shield's inclusion in this initiative is a very important validation of
our business model for the mass deployment of RFID component production. It is
widely known that the single largest buyer of RFID systems in the US is the
Federal Government and through the GSA they are provided with a mechanism of
preferential procurement from Native American Tribes who enjoy various
advantageous economic provisions including unlimited government set-asides and
various favourable fiscal structures.

I firmly believe that our association with this initiative gives us an
invaluable opportunity to benefit from the impending escalation in demand for
RFID production capacity from both Governmental and private sectors. I very
much look forward to reporting on our progress within this initiative in due
course."

GSA, Mu-Gahut and RFID Economic Empowerment Initiative

General Services Administration ('GSA')

The GSA is a US Federal entity whose mission is to provide goods and services
for other Federal Agencies. It is in effect a central buying and contracting
organization that is involved with best value acquisitions for work place
facilities, expert solutions, and management policies. It consists of the
Federal Supply Service (FSS), Federal Technology Service (FTS), Public
Buildings Service (PBS), the Office of Governmental Policy (OGP), various staff
and 11 Regional Offices. GSA is simultaneously a government full-service
department store, a landlord and a purchasing authority.

In 2005 the GSA's budget was in excess of $66 billion, equating to 25% of all
Federal procurement dollars.

Through GSA, the US Government provides a method of preferential procurement
from Native American companies as well as a range of incentives for the private
sector to utilize Tribal businesses as a primary source for outsourcing or
subcontracting. These generous incentives are a powerful means of promoting the
economic emancipation of the Tribal Nations community. The use of these special
economic provisions also provides American industry with a very logical,
cost-effective and competitive alternative to offshore outsourcing.

Some of the beneficial trade-offs derived from the onshore versus offshore
outsourcing model include total cycle cost reduction, greater flexibility in
supply chain reaction time, production of sensitive products in secure
facilities, ease of transportation and logistics, etc. as well as no customs,
language or time zone barriers and the elimination of bureaucratic
entanglement. There is also the not inconsequential matter of improved public
relations and image enhancement that comes from utilizing Native American
businesses.

Mu-Gahut LLC

Mu-Gahut LLC is a 100% Native American owned technology marketing company. It
specializes in technology transfer in emerging and/or high growth areas.
Founded by Native Americans with successful entrepreneurial histories, it is
chartered to elevate the industrial and technological capabilities of American
Indian Tribes in pursuit of the enhanced social equality that results from
profitable economic growth. Mu-Gahut's role is to both identify promising
technology for Native American manufacturing and to facilitate the marketing of
Native American produced technology and products. It targets the US Government
and its agencies that have preferential acquisition programs directed to and
set-aside for Native American manufacturers. Concurrently, it solicits US
corporations which can enjoy considerable economic and fiscal benefits from
business transacted with Native American owned corporations.

In addition, Mu-Gahut's mission includes identifying and promoting emerging
opportunities for manufacture of advanced high-profit technology by its Tribal
clientele. To achieve this, one of Mu-Gahut's primary initiatives is the
formation of a consortium of both "mainstream" and Native American companies
that at one or more levels has a vested interest in the manufacture and
utilization of RFID products. RFID component manufacturing fulfils this mission
due to it is characterized rapid expansion of high value technical content and
escalating demand for sources of low-cost, high-volume production. The type of
manufacturing that constitutes the core competitiveness of Block Shield's
unique proprietary manufacturing systems.

Mu-Gahut is currently working very closely with GSA's Native American Business
Centre on an agenda to coalesce the growing willingness of Native American
business into an action plan to take better advantage of often underutilized
Government programs and use the remarkable institutionalized fiscal
opportunities it provides.

RFID Economic Empowerment Initiative and the Selection of Block Shield as a Key
Partner

As mentioned above, one of the key objectives of Mu-Gahut is to elevate the
industrial and technological capabilities of American Indian Tribes. To achieve
this Mu-Gahut, working in conjunction with the GSA, has identified a
substantial and growing level of interest from many of the Native American
Tribal organizations in becoming Contract Manufacturers of RFID antennas and
tags. This is primarily based on the growing demand of the US Government,
considered the largest US buyer of RFID systems, and of Government suppliers
who are both consumers and suppliers of RFID systems.

Furthermore, when considering this increasing interest from the Tribes and the
increasing demand for RFID component pieces, Mu-Gahut, identified that to date,
the only limitation to the procurement from Native American sources of mass
produced RFID components is the relatively limited volume and marginal range of
high technology production capability. By combining the talents and resources
of their respective organizations, Block Shield, WaveZero and Mu-Gahut intend
to permanently alter this factor of the economic equation that has served to
enhance Tribal economies by transferring their cutting-edge technologies and
business development skills into corporate settings owned, controlled and
benefiting Native America.

Once this compelling and mutually beneficial structure had been identified,
Mu-Gahut and pre-qualified Native American manufacturers visited WaveZero
during December 2005 and January 2006 to view the initial production line of
the RFID machines in the last stages of completion. Following a rigorous
assessment process, Mu-Gahut decided to purchase the first machine for $800,000
in order to secure an immediate production capacity for one of the American
Indian Companies it is currently in negotiation with.

Mu-Gahut management has stated that the agreement with Block Shield will enable
them to cover short, medium and long term requirements in three key areas:

1. By procuring initial manufacturing capacity of RFID antennas based on Block
Shield's innovative process that best fits the purpose of equipping suitable
Native American companies

2. By acquiring technical and industrial know-how from a proven source capable
of supporting Native American manufacturers throughout the learning curve
associated with the transfer of technological and industrial know-how

3. By establishing a long standing partnership with a leading innovator of RFID
technical and industrial solutions

Good steady progess - the last RNS is the one to read for inspiration. Still expecting new highs in the near term

[britishbear] 19/1/2006 13:01

About time - always wondered why this fell after such good news. Something brewing I suspect as it does not take much volume to shift this share.

Still looking to reach new highs short term

[fieldbeans] 12/1/2006 07:25

I agree that charts are notoriously unreliable for small caps. The longterm trend is still upwards, however I don't like the fact that we have broken the 120 support level.

[britishbear] 12/1/2006 00:50

Chart is hard to call - need to call in an expert but there is an argument that it is at the bottom of a long term channel and will break up again soon.

Hmmm - could be a buy on rumour, sell on fact effect with the previous announcement.

[fieldbeans] 11/1/2006 16:39

Looks like the deal is not enough to break the current downtrend. I fear that chart is not looking too healthy.

[britishbear] 09/1/2006 10:13

Just topped up with a few. May not go any higher but this is an excellent vote of confidence from some big players.

Should make other contracts easier to get - IMB and largest medical company working with them using their patented technology.

RFID is also not going away and should break through soon to the mainstream soon.

Looking good

[britishbear] 09/1/2006 10:08

A tie up with IBM is always nice - should go higher as this sinks in.

Got to be quick to get in at this price - $2 million extra for 2006 is large relative to the size of the company and the deal goes on for 2 more years.

Now is the time to buy - new highs?


Edit - A nice little write up in todays independent basically talking about todays deal - impressive how they got it out so quick and even mention the $2million.

[fieldbeans] 09/1/2006 08:29

Good to see a big name attached. Hopefully the start of many such contracts.

EMC Division Volume Order

Embargoed Release: 07:00hrs Monday 9th January 2006

Block Shield Corporation PLC

("Block Shield" or "the Company")

Medical Devices Collaboration and Volume Production Contract

Block Shield Corporation PLC (BLS.L), a leading supplier of innovative Electro
Magnetic Shielding and RFID products and solutions for radio frequency
emissions, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the supplier of
shielding solutions for a new line of wireless medical devices to be released
by one of the world's leading medical equipment manufacturers, St Jude Medical
(`St. Jude'). In a collaborative project being managed by IBM and involving
other leading contract manufacturers of electronic equipment, Sanmina-SCI and
Future Logics as providers of the equipment parts. Block Shield is providing
the Electromagnetic Compatibility (`EMC') solutions for the enclosures to be
incorporated in the equipment.

Block Shield has already successfully completed the preproduction runs
contracted to WaveZero, Inc. (WaveZero), it's wholly owned subsidiary in its
facilities in Sugar Grove, Illinois, and will shortly commence initial volume
productions of the bespoke EMC shielding to be utilized in the enclosures. The
preproduction phase was devoted to fine tuning the different processes involved
in the collaboration between the parties.

Whilst actual business is dependent on ramp up and shipment rates, IBM expects
the potential value of business for Block Shield in 2006 to exceed $2,000,000.
This volume of business is expected to continue for at least another two years,
albeit at gradually diminishing yearly rates, dependent on the commercial life
of the equipment.

Dr. Pier Antoniucci, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"In this project, we are employing our proprietary technology of vacuum
deposition of metal on polymers. Importantly, we believe that our participation
in this collaboration was secured because we are the only group who could meet
the stringent EMC needs of the equipment. These require shielding to operate in
an onerous environment of cleanliness and with an accuracy which cannot be
addressed by more mature shielding technologies such as conductive painting or
metal taping."
