just a note to investors in this share.as well as holding a modest portfolio i own a engineering co which sub-contracts from electro-mec.
Despite frequent calls for payment even a converasation with the ceo i was left with no alternative but to instuct my lawyers to issue a "winding up" order which they will be in receipt of this week.
For investors in this co,i hope it is just cash flow problems.

ACTIVCARD ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER 2002 REVENUES
Achieves 34% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth in 2002 and Positive Cash Flow from Continuing Operations in Fourth Quarter
FREMONT, CA – February 10, 2003 -- ActivCard® (NASDAQ: ACTID/NASDAQ EUROPE: ACTI), the leader in IDentity Management (IDM) software for remote access, secure sign-on and digital ID card solutions, today reported financial results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2002.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002 increased 34% to $41.8 million compared to $31.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the fourth quarter of 2002, ActivCard reported its fourth consecutive quarterly revenue increase, achieving revenues of $12.1 million, an increase of 79% over the $6.8 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2001 and 1% higher than the third quarter of 2002.

Net loss, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $45.5 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared to $16.7 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The results for 2002 include a write-down of other intangible assets of $5.1 million, restructuring charges of $8.6 million and a loss from discontinued operations of $16.8 million. Net loss, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $9.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $9.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2001 and $2.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2002. Pro forma net loss for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $1.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a pro forma net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2001 and $1.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2002. Pro forma net loss for the quarter excludes acquisition-related charges, re-incorporation costs, deferred stock compensation charges, restructuring charges, foreign exchange gains and losses, and the loss from discontinued operations.

“We are very pleased with the revenues we achieved in the fourth quarter and our 2002 growth rate of 34% is at the high end of the objectives and guidance we provided at the beginning of 2002,” commented ActivCard Chief Executive Officer Steven Humphreys. “We established a leadership position in the U.S. government during the year, which drove our revenue to record levels. We believe our recently completed re-incorporation as a U.S. company will position us well for further growth in U.S. government markets in the coming years.”

We succeeded in winning major deployments in the U.S. government and, despite the struggling economy, achieved record gains in our enterprise business, in both the U.S. and Asia.

We generated positive cash flow from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2002 and are approaching break-even on a pro forma basis."
