Will it help NCH bottom line?

If not then I'm not interested. I don't want any of the stocks I own to be just charities doing good deeds for their markets or some industry standard or board.

Can NCH patent something that can generate revenues if later adopted as a standard?

Interesting stuff on the recent acquisition:



"December 11, 2007 10:48 AM PST
Encryption consolidation may benefit the industry
Posted by Jon Oltsik

There was a relatively small acquisition on Tuesday: nCipher, a U.K.-based encryption specialist, purchased storage encryption appliance vendor NeoScale Systems. This could be looked at as basic industry consolidation, but the impact could ripple further.

Encryption and, more specifically, key management really needs a set of standards to prosper and grow. Key management standards must include standard ways to connect encrypting devices to key managers, key managers to key managers, and so on. There are a few nascent standards efforts in this area, but nothing concrete.

Here's how this niche merger could impact the stalemate. nCipher has strong relationships with IBM, while NeoScale works closely with EMC-RSA. nCipher also has developed some very simple yet elegant key management communications standards and interfaces. If nCipher-NeoScale can build some consensus on standards with IBM and EMC-RSA, the rest of the industry is bound to follow. This could lead to a pragmatic solution to a vexing problem.

The industry needs leadership here. If we don't fix the key management standards problem, data is bound to get lost or stolen while operating costs increase. If nCipher-NeoScale can help move the industry in the right direction, this seemingly minor merger could have a profound industry impact."

CWA1.
Many thanks for info. I would guess that 5000 is the NMS (Advfn Financials no longer show a figure)
I have this down as 'patience required'

Nowt much you can tell from L2 except that PMUR are indeed on the offer. With three on the bid; PIPR, KBC and WINS. They are all up in lots of 5,000 but you can't really tell anything from that. PMUR could have a huge line of 100k to offer for all we know and the bidders could be buyers of only 5,000 each and might scarper if any selling volume comes in.

However the online limits are currently pretty low for buying, 750 shares. The selling limit is 5,000. I would take that as modestly encouraging overall. But nothing to get TOO excited about.

FWIW
Robbie Burns aka 'The Naked Trader' bought some NCH and his comment yesterday was :-
Apparently the share I bought last week NCipher was tipped by a big tipsheet this weekend but it is not moving on the buys generated from the tip today. Looks like market maker Panmure has a few shares to sell but once the seller is gone they could rise sharply.
Anybody with level 2? Does L2 support his view?

And remember this from a couple of months ago - this was at 252p!

"Unloved and undervalued," was the verdict of Ian Mitchell, of Charles Stanley, on nCipher, the internet security firm, up 15½p at 252p. He increased his price target to 345p and said that the stock was on a lowly forward p/e of 14 times because of the historic poor performance of Abridean, its American acquisition."

Charles Stanley value NCH at 345p and Panmure at 280p. Hopefully we'll get more broker support and a bit of press over the coming days.

I certainly agree that the price is below broker expectations(for what they are worth). As for market expectations, well, we'll just have to agree to differ on that one :-)

Again, FWIW, I am currently a holder as well, so would be nice to see some price improvement however they come.

Cheers.

CWA1, share prices do not necessarily reflect market expectations, this is not a very competitive market being so illiquid so it does not behave in the same way as say the market in vodafone, therefore the price in my opinion is anomolous and certainly considerably below broker forecasts/expectations.

Hi Jonnyo1

current market expectations are 280p +

I assume that you mean that broker expectations are 280p+? Market expectations are, unfortunately, about 219p at the moment :-(

that's good to see. we should see a bounce from here bearing in mind current market expectations are 280p +

Ta from me too Das. Looks like ALN will prove to be a good tip judging by their statement today - as will NCH :o))

Excellent solid trading statement today here. NCH are just far too cheap imo (and ISAble too):



"Cambridge, UK - 7 January 2008 - nCipher plc (LSE:NCH), a global leader in
protecting critical enterprise data, announces that trading for the 12 month
period ending 31 December 2007 is in line with market expectations. The recently announced NeoScale product line acquisition is being integrated in line with management expectations.

The management will update the market further at the preliminary results
announcement."

Welcome back in Mart. Featured in the Times today - no idea what this rot about finance sector involvement is, the pullback has been on tiny volumes and was simply due to the small cap malaise imho...



"Tiddler to watch

Shares in nCipher, the provider of encryption technology for internet data, have been held back by its exposure to financial services clients. But Nick James, of Panmure Gordon, believes new hirings to the board and recent research showing soaring data security breaches will help the stock, up 3½p at 220p, to reach his 280p target."

Hi guys,
Yea, quiet threads are usually better. Decided to join you and go back into these. About time they did something. Fingers crossed.

Hi TTB, yep, I love these quiet threads, always a sign of quality. Back to just about break-even for me having bought back in in my ISA in the autumn at the low, though in these markets that's not been a bad performance for a small cap!

Happy to hold here. There's bound to be another bid for NCH at some point imo, even if there's isn't a re-rating on fundamentals (which there should be). Having profited nicely twice here from a bid situation and then the share buyback I'm hoping for a hat-trick :o))

NVS has finally gone, with some impressive appointments today including a new COO:



Nice little comment at the end:

"'This new Board appointment and strengthened management team demonstrates our
commitment to leveraging our position in the rapidly growing global security
market, most particularly in North America, in the coming years.'"

Time for a 2008 share price rebound on both fundamentals and chart-wise methinks :o))

NCH are putting the boot in to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs about all the missing data leaks :o))



"Cryptography firm comes out with Government health warning
19/12/2007

While encryption would have massively reduced the outcry over the HMRC data loss and the slew of others since, it comes with its own risks, warns data protection software firm nCipher.

Geoffrey Finlay, CEO of nCipher, makes the point that, although encryption is increasingly accessible – being embedded in trusted platform modules (TPMs) or bundled, as with Microsoft's BitLocker – the problem is what happens if the keys that lock and unlock the data are lost.

"Encryption is a powerful tool, but getting it wrong can at best result in a false sense of security and, even worse, leave data scrambled for ever – the equivalent of a corporate document shredder," says Finlay.

He suggests that with data protection stakes high, there should be a growing demand for secure and automated encryption key management to manage the rapidly growing number of keys across multiple applications and servers. "Large organisations may literally have millions of them," he says.

"A well-planned deployment of encryption, supported by strong key management and access controls will eliminate further HMRC, DVA and Driving Standards Agency catastrophes, and result in better protected data that is available to the right people at the right time.

"The idea of end-to-end encryption may still be a long way off but cryptography is increasingly playing a vital role as the last line of defence. Encryption and key management is now a must for all organisations with sensitive data," says Finlay."
