There are many reasons to sell any share, often unrelated to the prospects of the company. If it's a PI, a decent profit, you need the money for something else, or the share price hasn't performed as you expected it to and have other opportunities you think might do better, tax etc.. Institutions have other reasons to sell - change of management, policy etc.. At the end of the day, you couldn't buy any shares if there wasn't a seller on the other side and SPs would be flat each day.

30k is hardly dumping in any case and I suspect there's a buyer on the other side. Perhaps the seller thinks that with no scheduled news until December there's better short-term things to do with their money. After all, we're hoping IGP will make a profit this year but that may not be the case if they have to ramp up their costs to meet their partners training/selling needs while the revenues don't materialise until these projects move from pilot to full rollout. Any holder here should have a 2-3 year view IMHO.

I doubt it's spooky. Ask him.

strange how suddenly someone has started selling, at this stage of the year, with small cap stocks due for a rally in september, and the id/smart card market going into a rapid growth period, got a feeling its spooky whos dumping.

BS is fine. Net cash inflow last year of 440k increasing cash balances to 1.1mm. They have 1.4mm convertible debt which has been extended until 2009.

damb, these guys are good:

[blueliner] 21/8/2006 21:26

pretty well flatlined all year what about the bs

[igoe104] 18/8/2006 22:06

smartcards are going to be all around us soon

Great find igoe104.

Looking at the GSA / NIST approval lists I reckon IGP are involved in about half - Gemalto, Verisign, Oberthur, RSA and Safenet (on preapproval list). I doubt there'll be much revenue until H2 and looking at the complexity facing the govt institutions, it may well even be next year before the license fee benefits are realised but thereafter, things could get interesting.

great piece igoe,

governments the world over...

just as well igp nicely diversified.

Thanks Domestos,

a search re: Duncan Hine on the QinetiQ site throws up a couple references:

[domestos] 16/8/2006 02:29

"Impressive contact book" - I'd say so!

This just keeps getting better & better. The appointment of Dr Duncan Hine is real quality and looks extremely promising. QinetiQ are an absolutely enormous company! Just have a look at what they do:



Dr Duncan Hine's position within QinetiQ is shown on this list under "Security & Dual Use":



We could be talking about Intercede's technology being used by the Ministry of Defence – which could have massive implications for Intercede.

I cannot think of any other organization where security is so important. All staff have to be security vetted because most of the work is classified (eg: Confidential, Secret, UK Eyes only, etc). Staff cannot access any information unless they have the appropriate authority. Basically, security is paramount within MOD and QinetiQ!

[rambutan2] 15/8/2006 23:18

sounds a useful addition. he's certainly a man with an impressive contact book.

I think the 10,000 may have been a sell - the MMs are desperately short of stock and probably happy to take some on at 30p.

[igoe104] 08/8/2006 09:29

yesterday 10,000 buy and 1500 sell, and the share price drops. crazy

Search Joan Ryan (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office) Hansard source

Section 37 of the Identity Cards Act 2006 requires a report to be laid before Parliament every six months, following Royal Assent, setting out the Secretary of State's estimate of the public expenditure likely to be incurred on the ID cards scheme during the 10 years beginning with the laying of the report. The first six-monthly report on the costs of the identity card scheme is due on 30 September but, because of the dates of recess,it will be laid before Parliament on their return on 9 October 2006.

consortium first meeting.


• Security in numbers

• Building the PIV team

Any access-control system probably will have to work with a wide variety of applications, some of them off-the-shelf, some homegrown, some up-to-date and some legacies. This will require a lot of integration and in all likelihood some modification of whatever software you buy to manage access.

These issues put a premium on interoperability and customer support from vendors. Agencies are looking to industry for guidance in implementing systems that will leverage new HSPD-12 PIV cards.

The industry is responding to these demands with the HSPD-12 Interoperability Consortium. The consortium held its first meeting in June with an initial roster of nine vendors offering PKI, physical access, ID management and auditing solutions.

The group's goals are to develop and test an end-to-end interoperable system and establish an interoperability testing lab. The lab will be hosted by SafeNet to test preconfigured, end-to-end multivendor turnkey solutions.

Not sure IGP is part of that consortium - can't find a mention on the RTIC website though several of their partners are.

NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANY INVOLVEMENT. ( BUT WE ARE PART OF INTEROPERABILIITY CONSORTIUM.)

Draft U.S. Registered Travel Specification Released

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration will review a proposed specification for a "registered traveler" card, released last week by the Registered Traveler Interoperability Consortium, a group of airport officials and vendors.

The specification covers the technical elements–such as the biometric formats, data formats and key management–for a smart card that could be issued to travelers on a volunteer basis, giving them expedited access through airport security lanes. A registered traveler program could involve 3 million to 4 million frequent U.S. air travelers who would pay an annual fee for the card.

The specification is loosely based on the Personal Identity Verification spec drawn up for a U.S. government employee and contractor credential program, says Bryan Ichikawa, solutions architect with Unisys, a prospective vendor for the program, and one of 13 organizations involved in writing the specification.

Among the differences between the two identification schemes are that registered traveler participants would not need a personal identification number as PIV users do. And registered travelers may use iris as a biometric identifier, something that is not an option in the PIV scheme. Also, registered traveler cards would require a minimum of four fingerprint templates to minimize the potential for false rejections, whereas the PIV requires only two templates. And registered traveler cards will be contact only. PIV cards are dual interface, contact and contactless.

"The business of registered traveler is very different from the business of PIV," Ichikawa says. Among other things, the consortium's specification "creates an interoperable model that lets companies offer a product that can be used at airports serviced by competitors," he says.

The TSA has said it wants to launch this year a large-scale trial, involving as many as 20 airports. It has not released a timeframe for that trial, however. In 2005, a five-airport pilot ended. Currently, there is one operational registered traveler program, in Orlando, Fla., run by Verified Identity Pass Inc. More than 25,000 people have signed up for a Clear card from the company. A handful of airports, such as San Jose, Calif., Cincinnati, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Ind., have also said they're interested in registered traveler programs.

Larry Zmuda, a partner in Unisys's Homeland Security division, estimates 3 million to 4 million passengers might eventually sign up for a registered traveler card over the next two to three years.

The public comment period on the draft specification closes July 31, after which the consortium will resolve any changes that need to be made. The revised draft will then be submitted to the TSA for its review, though no formal deadline for that approval has been announced. (2006-07-27)

I was wondering if it might have been IBM that nominated them. (Nice if it was!)

Looking at the British Computer Society's list of medallists:



The IBM logo is shown alongside the nominations in the Systems Category, which is what Intercede's Digital Tachograph Project comes under. (At least that's what it looks like to me.)
