I am with you on this. It is very vunerable down here.

In fact I would not put it past our only sizeable holder to be deliberately offering stock to push the price down to encourage a predator to make an offer for the company.

Any bid would have to be around the 70p level and it would make a nice profit for someone!

Last year I was expecting a price nearer £1.50 with the news flow and contracts. But no longer.

Just frustrating jailbird.....the share price is now at its lowest level since Aug '06 and look whats happened since then....madness! am still holding for that sunny day...It will come.

[smartmoney100] 16/1/2008 09:15

Right now, I wish they would, Lol

[237gmoney] 16/1/2008 09:13

Down again. ok the market is taking a battering and small caps will fall with only sells and no buyers coming in....mkt cap now around £9m. How can they come to that price when the company has not said a word. If they released bad news then I would understand.....but like I said the UK ID card issue is only on hold it hasnt gone away. The foreign nationals card is still there and likely that MyId will be used.....

How long before Mr Parris and co do something to stop this sorry mess. If they can buy stock at 35p then why buy at 28p????? anything to give us some confidence in the company then others will follow suit.....only way its going at the moment is down.....

the US may be hitting a recession but security will not be comprimised. TWIC will continue and so will the other projects IGP are involved in. seems a MBO will be more than likely if this carries on.....or it seems more attractive to Oracle than it did last week as they could probably take this out for 50-60p now.....

[boadicea] 15/1/2008 16:58

I would think its days of independence are likely to be numbered at this market cap. So, no I can't see it at 30p in two years - It will either be a multibagger from here or taken out altogether.
Unfortunately it's about 10 weeks before we can routinely expect a tu, so rather a lot of sag time to come.

[237gmoney] 15/1/2008 12:59

Theres only one fund with any large amount of stock to sell.....and they were selling all last year so they cant have much left....either way this stock needs a new large investor to pick it up.

[pyman] 15/1/2008 11:59

Is there a large seller knocking about? volume so far a non event. presume there must be...

[topvest] 15/1/2008 10:53

Another good buying opportunity. Looking forward 2 year, can you see this at 30p? Should multi-bag from here is my best guess, but it will take some time.

[237gmoney] 15/1/2008 10:24

whats going on? down 12% in two days and for what? mkt cap now less than £10.5m when the company is likely to make £2m profits in the next two years??? I dont get it....can now buy for 30p.....so when are the buyers gona come in?? or is no one interested now that the UKID card is on hold....there are over 200 other countries and the SSC healthcard sceme in the US and the TWIC card will decide where this company goes, not the UK ID card.....

This will be an interesting test for Hargreave Hale.

It was quite prepared to buy a 6% stake at some 30% discount to the trading price a short time before the announcement.

It then when on to play around selling part of the placement afterwards showing it really was in for the long-term!

And now the shares are almost but not quite below the 32p placing price without any buying.

Someone is testing the market to see if Hargreave is prepared to put more money where its mouth used to be.

If we do not see support around here then we are back to 22p-25p and a good opportunity to buy some cheap stock.

This share has provided a superb example of how to raise cash expensively by placing stock with a fund that has shown no intentions of loyalty.

It's all so very disappointing.

[237gmoney] 14/1/2008 16:01

seems a big sell gone through at 28p now....lemmings jumping ship...

Its odd because on one side of the coin you have the news about the UK ID Card and on the other side of the coin, which was always more realistic and with IGP involvement is issuing compulsory ID cards for foreign nationals who want to stay, and with the new border controls announced today and the rumors announced last year in the daily mail, IGP look to be getting this contract...



But hey people have short memories...

[igoe104] 14/1/2008 15:47

I think its a case of someone selling and nobody buying, thats why its fallen.
UK id card rules still unsure at the moment.its still under parliamentory debate.




U.K. Prime Minister Discusses National ID Cards with Parliament



In yesterday's round of Prime Minister's questions, U.K. PM Gordon Brown was asked to discuss the national ID card scheme. The Identity Cards Act became law in 2006, with the first cards expected to be issued to foreign nationals later in 2008.

As it stands now, the U.K. government is fully committed to introducing compulsory ID cards for foreign nationals as well as a voluntary system for all British citizens, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said. He said that the implementation of ID cards would provide protection against illegal immigration into the country and help shield people from identity fraud.

The prospect of compulsory card carrying for all people in the U.K. would be subject to Parliamentary debate, he added.

"The whole purpose of identity cards is to protect personal identity. People recognize that what the identity cards will contain is little more than the information that is now given for people's passports," said the Prime Minister.

He went on to add that biometrics are key to the protection of people's identity: "The whole purpose of identity cards is to protect people's identity and the way to do that is to use, in addition to the passport information that will be part of the identity card, biometrics so that use of the information cannot be triggered other than by the facial or fingerprint data that are part of the biometrics."

There are those in opposition to the Identity Cards Act.

"We have learned in the past few months that it is completely unsafe to trust the Government with any more of our identity information," countered Opposition Leader David Cameron alluding to the British government's recent lost of personal information.

In November, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) revealed that data on 25 million people, all British families with children under the age of 16, had been lost. Then in December, the British Driving Standards Agency revealed that the information on 3 million people was lost when a hard drive containing the information went missing.

"Everybody in the House wants proper biometric visas for people visiting this country ... My personal view is that I am against compulsory identity cards," said Cameron

Igoe, think its the bbc news which has caused it, but to knock nearly 10% off for something that doesnt exist and there was only a possiblity of it ever existing, I think this drop is over done.....unless something else is going on???

TWIC now upto 59 ports by 30th Jan....that news seems to miss the radar. Will start to get some funds together and be ready to pounce if I can gbet these below 30p......come results time in March, the company will be in the best shape it has ever been yet the share price will be at 2006 levels.....

[igoe104] 14/1/2008 14:48

The problem is, no news is bad news in poor market conditions.
WE have so many partners but very little news, from most of them.



all these of these partners, but very little news, its very disappionting.

[237gmoney] 14/1/2008 14:39

Someone just sold 180 shares at 30p......guess times must be hard....stock now down 7% on less than 20k shares sold or maybe theres a big T trade to go through later today. whats up Mr Parris????

Something we should know about????

[237gmoney] 14/1/2008 12:21

Guess this had something to do with today's drop but as the company didnt have the UKID card, it has no effect on current trading....therefore it makes no sense to drop the price 5%.....still we need confident news on other contracts to attract buyers.

[237gmoney] 14/1/2008 10:51

Dwindling away......maybe will hit 30p after all....seems there are no takers at this price and any sells the mm's will just drop the price...15,000 shares knocks a few hundred thousand off the mkt cap.....its a funny ol' game...

[jailbird] 14/1/2008 09:46

WELL SOMEONE HAS sold 15k this morning...so far anyway!

own up!

[boadicea] 11/1/2008 23:45

237 - I think that would be better phrased as "pound at 10 month low."
The dollar is still generally falling against most other currencies including Euro, but the pound is falling faster and is likely to continue until it gets to a sensible value around Euro 1.20
With UK inflation set to rocket, don't bank on much in the way of interest rate cuts either. Remember, the government has relinquished control to the BoE giving it a remit to control inflation (if it can!)

[237gmoney] 11/1/2008 14:11

Dollar at 10 month high...all the time making more money for IGP....With UK interest rates going to fall next month the dollar will only get stronger.....

Latest on the twic project.

WASHINGTON, DC -- 01/09/08 -- The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced that enrollment in the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program will begin at 10 more locations in the coming weeks. This program ensures that any individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and vessels has received a thorough background check and is not a known security threat.
TWIC enrollment began Oct. 16, 2007 at the Port of Wilmington, Del. The addition of these 10 locations will bring the number of fixed enrollment centers open for enrollment to 59. Ultimately, the program will be rolled out to 147 fixed enrollment sites and will vet more than 1 million workers through 2008.

"TWIC is one of the world's most advanced interoperable biometric systems and raises the bar on port security," said the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Maurine Fanguy, program director for TWIC. "We are off to a strong start with thousands of workers enrolled and credentials issued."

Today, the TSA released specific dates for the following ports:


Victoria, Texas Jan. 16, 2008 Pittsburgh, Pa. Jan. 24, 2008
Kahului, Hawaii Jan. 17, 2008 Texas City, Texas Jan. 24, 2008
Portland, Ore. Jan. 17, 2008 Kauai, Hawaii Jan. 25, 2008
Bourne, Mass. Jan. 23, 2008 Salisbury, Md. Jan. 30, 2008
Green Bay, Wis. Jan. 23, 2008 Toledo, Ohio Jan. 30, 2008


Workers at these ports, as well as another 49 where enrollment has begun, are able to pre-enroll for TWIC on the TSA Web site (www.tsa.gov/twic). Pre-enrollment speeds up the process by allowing workers to provide biographic information and schedule a time to complete the application process in person. This reduces waiting and in-person enrollment times for each individual.

More information on the TWIC program is available at www.tsa.gov/twic and additional information on port security is available at the U.S. Coast Guard's Homeport site at by clicking on the Maritime Security link.

More likely to be Bell ID since they also work with Gemalto and do the Quatar ID card. Depends how advanced the Yemenis want to make it. Bell ID is a CMS only so is used mainly for card provisioning - MyID adds the IDMS element and interactivity with a much broader range of devices.

[237gmoney] 09/1/2008 12:41

Yes Gemalto are a partner, just they may not use MyID for the Yeman ID Card...

TWIC now at over 40 ports of 147. hopefully will hit 100 ports before year end.
