dear shareholders ...we regret to announce we haven't actually sold anything... we're terribly sorry... but never mind...

Come on Orca do some deals....

[littleredrooster] 06/8/2005 13:45

The management team play in a beat combo in their spare time.

whizzkid -what do you mean

[wizzkid211] 05/8/2005 10:48

orca will jazz it at the costa del sol. soon to be featured near you...

[slapdash] 27/7/2005 23:44

this is a far more conservative company than emblaze..

bottom line is bidding for 20 something contracts...

In trials with a few including a big tier one and a small one in Europe...

And potential for upgrades to existing clients...

- CONCLUSION - on a purely probabilistic basis should get some good news from some of these soon. Appears simply improbable for this not to be the case..

I.e. if the probability of good news in each case is only 10% then the probabiliy of all having working out bad in next six months is 90%...

We have about 5 existing clients... 20 bidding on and then 2 trials... in total 27..

so 0.90 to the power of 27 gives 6% chance of no news from any of these in the next few six months... if we assigned a more realistic probability of no news of 85% to each then there would be a 1.2% chance of not being successful with one of these 27 factors in the next six months...

So I say bring it on... some news will be forthcoming...

Slapdash thanks agree with that. The reason why I don't think anything big will happen is the line "expects to meet revenue forecasts for 2005 as a whole", but Emblaze (BLZ) seems to issue much more positive outlook.

[slapdash] 27/7/2005 14:43

cyberdyme - talking about next year's revenues in US and Latin america for next year..

Doesn't affect prospective bidding on contracts here....

So could still get news here soon (Europe/Asia)..

Overall a positive as group says will be looking to get deals in US / Asia when didn't think it would get many there before...

From the above statement it sounds like maybe it would be better to come back into orca some time next year.

[ericthecat] 27/7/2005 14:00

good.

LONDON (AFX) - Orca Interactive Ltd, which develops applications for
Internet Protocol TV (IPTV), said trading was in line with its expectations in
the first half.
It also said last year's strong growth in its product pipeline has continued
and it therefore expects to meet revenue forecasts for 2005 as a whole.
Orca said there has been an increase in interest from operators in the North
and South American markets and the company has decided to commit extra resources
to its partnership with Lucent to take advantage of "this sizeable market
prospect". The first customer deals are expected to occur next year.

missed this its good news;-)

[britishbear] 26/7/2005 10:50

Seems to be a general sell off in this area. ADA, ANT, ORCA all down with very similar charts. Something is spooking the sector - I suspect this is not ORCA specific.

Watching carefully - maybe a good entry price high 80's.

AGM Wednesday....

Should be statement....

business looks like it is coming together.... but some license orders would be nice....

Why the sudden downturn in Orca shares recently when they seem to be getting well established in their niche. Anyone any ideas?

[ericthecat] 08/7/2005 09:48

The long summer months, the wait continues......

[tone] 28/6/2005 23:20

I guess it was BT

[cyberdyme] 28/6/2005 15:48

Agent smith it has been a long time. Any ideas on who the tier1 European Operator pilot Orca were talking about earlier in the month.

[ericthecat] 23/6/2005 10:00

More interest

an old friend

C-COR completes NCUBE purchase
Another element of the consolidation in the on demand video sector has been put in place with the completion of C-COR's purchase of nCUBE. Following the deal, which was announced in October, nCUBE will be integrated into C-COR's software business unit C-COR Solutions. Michael Pohl, previously President and CEO of nCUBE, will become president of the expanded unit. Last month Tandberg Television announced that it had purchased N2 Broadband in a deal that puts the company opposite C-COR and Seachange in the VOD space.

Nice only good news for orca;-)

[ericthecat] 23/6/2005 09:32

Orca talking tomorrow, may get some news?

[ericthecat] 20/6/2005 16:01

Thanks VT,

more good news, ORCA is shaping up very well indeed. They are the number 1 open source platform and with Microsoft having continued scale up problems ORCA is set to win some BIG contracts.

Two more shows this week for ORCA, would not be suprised to see some buying as one is in London ;-)
