IM interested in all rapid growth areas. i like igp because they seem to be getting a strong position in the usa, where the usa government are not bothered at throwing money, at security projects.

I,ve got my eyes on other areas of rapid growth areas, put i won,t let on........ until i hold strong positions in these companies that are involved in such a growth area.

Hello Igoe. I see that like me, you are into this sector. A good call I feel. I see IGP are up today. IDD doing very nicely and results this month, RAB bought in heavily. There are one or two others I am watching, but wont go on about any,dont want to be accused of preaching to the converted. sk.

At the end of the day awilson, depends if the company deliver. if the share price is 12p+ in a few years, nobody will complain then. if it stays at this level, people will moan.

Like you, I was a little disappointed by the option price.
This morning, I checked with SMRT -"guidance issued by HMRC to calculate the option price is Bid Price plus one quarter of the spread.On 28th February at the close of business the share price was 3.5p-4.25p. Therefore the option price was set at 3.7p."
I hope there are no more options issued as they dilute eps.
It would be bad form if the recently appointed Duthie were to be given any until it can be proved he is actually delivering the goods.

Thoroughly underwhelming response so far to the note in terms of trades - either way.... Its like holding IGP three years ago! I have to say that I was hoping for just a little more detail in one or two areas. But it was good to get updated forecasts: 5 times 2008, 2.5 times 2009 forecast earnings I can live with ;0)

yes, very encouraging update. i'm guessing that they'll also land the second big contract - hence the recent recruits.

With being in a massive growth section, i expect smrt, and igp to do well over the next few years. i,ve been spending lots of time, looking for the next big winners. i,ve found two companies that i think, will go up at least 1000% with-in 3 to 5 years.

When picking shares, the first thing i do...... is find a high growth business area, then i find a company which i think that will benefit most, from this section.

i,ll let you boys know, in june after the may sell-off, (which is always a great time to pick cheap stock up)....... which these companies are ?
and why i think they will rise 1000 % +.

PS HAVE SOME SPARE FUNDS READY garth, and wjjc, (YOU could well like them.) i,ll be putting in 60k into them.

WJ,

No, I had wondered what the note might hold. They look to have pulled the £3m in 2008 back by about 25% (quick glance only) but I've always said that I thought that number would soften. 1.48p in 2009 is interesting - with rail franchises, bus concessionary travel, Hitachi etc. one would have thought that there is a certain measure of visibility.

One thing I should add is that that "£3m contract" is still out there - just taking longer than either Ecebs, or the customer, thought it would.....

DYOR.

Positive SVS note just out, 'BUY' stance retained. Numbers given for 2009 for the first time:

info@svssecurities.com

"Advanced Smartcard has made two important announcements relating to focus and contract wins. On 14 February 2007, the Company announced that an agreement with Hitachi Ltd for the use of Advanced Smartcard's core smartcard
technology had been signed. This represents a monumental leap forward
for the Company."

"The Company is currently engaged in ongoing discussions with a major
global payment organisations interested in adding Multefile™ to its range
of smartcards."

3 year forecasts included. 2007 only reduced by a little by the looks of it..... and still represents almost 100% growth. Gross margins last year were 74%, up considerably on the lower-margin mix of the previous year.

EPS:
2006 +0.11p (Actual)
2007 +0.20p (Est)
2008 +0.74p (Est)
2009 +1.48p (Est)

I can add to the content of the note the following points for long termers who have discussed the following:

The ITSO contract, won under tender, is open ended - there is no fixed term. The contract is Eceb's. Barriers to entry are suggested to be high - in fact near impossible - for anyone else to provide. There seemed to be genuine puzzlement at the idea that anyone else might provide ISAMs.

There is no royalty element on ISAMs but the lifetime of each ISAM is 3-5 years so there should be 'repeat order' flow.

Multefile will be added to all Hitachi MULTOS cards. Customers will have the option of activating.

Hope that helps.

DYOR.

Who says they are buys? FWIW there is a substantial overhang in this stock.

Have to agree with ram, the excerise price seems, low. 6p would be more in-line.
Its just to easy at 3.7p, he should have to work for it, rather than be given it on a plate.

Couldn't get a quote for less than 3.98p....

I see buys appear to have gone through at 3.8p. However, I haven't found where I can get them for less than 4p so I assume these are favoured deals - institutions (a bit small for that really) or directors?

Possibly the Duthie appointment may explain the caution about current year's profitability as he will not come cheap. Bu it adds strength in depth to top management.

And another new partner I have only just noticed

Ian Duthie - Ecebs' Latest Partner

20 - February 2007

Advanced Smartcard Technologies plc are delighted to announce that Ian Duthie has joined forces to work with it's wholly owned subsidiary,Ecebs Limited. Ian has spent the last 15 years as a Marketing Manager for Secure Microcontrollers within the chip manufacturing sector and is globally recognized throughout the Smart Card industry.

Ian has seen the Smart Card market grow from its embryonic days in the 1970's while at Motorola when its chip design team developed the world's first ever microprocessor Smart Card on behalf of Bull-CP8. He joined the Smart Card marketing team in 1992 and has presented the silicon vendor's viewpoint on Markets, Technology and Security, in Smart Card journals and at leading international Smart Card conferences in Africa, Asia, Europe and the USA.The last few years a key focus area for him has been on contactless payment technology.

Commenting on his appointment, Ian stated "Having been involved with Ecebs as a silicon vendor since almost its beginning where our close partnership provided a blue chip client with a dual-branded EMV solution, I am delighted to be invited to join the Ecebs team. The company's successful experience in the Ticketing sector and its strong background in Financial payment systems, I see great opportunities as these two sectors converge upon contactless technology. Couple this with Ecebs' very versatile Multefile ™ platform, providing ultra-rapid application management and shorter time-to-market, I see a bright future ahead."

A couple of items in the news about uptake of smartcards in Canada as they move towards EMV. Massive market being highlighted. Interesting in light of the recent appointment at Ecebs.....

Canada 'will have 100m smart cards by 2011'

Mar 2 2007 4:20PM

An expansion in the use of smart cards is set to be seen in Canada in the coming four years, it has been claimed.

New research has found that the number of smart cards used in the country could reach 110.2 million by 2011, with payment smart cards constituting 90 per cent of this demand.

Technology Surveys International discovered that transit and security uses of the technology may also increase during this time, including the implementation of automatic fare payment systems and electronic passports.

And wireless payments - such as those enabled by the London Underground's Oyster card - may become more popular than cards which require contact.

Oyster cards use radio identification technology (RFID) to allow users of a range of London transport systems to pay in advance for discounted travel tickets.

By holding their pre-paid card in front of a reader, money is automatically discounted from the card and they are free to continue with their journey.

TUV Product Service, part of the TÜV SÜD Group of companies with 1bn Euros turnover, in excess of 9,500 employees and 500 locations worldwide, is a leading producer of Compliance and Assurance Solutions for the smart card and RFID sectors.
