Orca Interactive (LSE: ORCA), a global market leader in developing applications
for IPTV, announces at today's Annual General Meeting that trading for the first
half of the year has been in line with management expectations.


Strong growth in Orca's pipeline of opportunities was reported at the time of
the Company's full year results announcement in February and this positive trend
has continued throughout the first half of the year. For this reason, Orca
remains confident that revenue expectations for the full year to December 2005
will be achieved.

Yep 20 mil dollars is about 12 mil pounds not much cash: lets hope results are good; they must be poor otherwise why would this share still falling;

[littleredrooster] 13/9/2005 23:56

I never claimed that you stated pounds. I merely pointed out that the 20 million referred to 'dollars, not pounds'. I am capable of reading. What you wrote was ambiguous, and probably most people may have thought that you meant pounds since the value of the company is usually given in pounds.

[hamidahamida] 13/9/2005 13:52

littleredrooster
never said pounds
read before u take out mistakes

[wapit] 12/9/2005 19:30

AGM trading update



Orca Interactive (LSE: ORCA), a global market leader in developing applications
for IPTV, announces at today's Annual General Meeting that trading for the first
half of the year has been in line with management expectations.


Strong growth in Orca's pipeline of opportunities was reported at the time of
the Company's full year results announcement in February and this positive trend
has continued throughout the first half of the year. For this reason, Orca
remains confident that revenue expectations for the full year to December 2005
will be achieved.


Since the start of the year there has been a notable increase in interest from
operators in the North and South American markets. The Board of Orca has spent
this time reviewing the emerging opportunity in the Americas and has now
determined to commit extra resources to its partnership with Lucent to address
this sizeable market prospect in order to increase customer deal flow. As a
result, there will be some investment in sales and marketing and staff
relocation to the US over the coming year, which is not expected to exceed $2m
in the current financial year. The first customer deals to arise from this
investment are expected to occur during 2006.


Haggai Barel, CEO, commented, "Historically, our focus has been on the rapidly
growing European and Asian markets but as the opportunity in the Americas has
emerged during 2005, so it has become increasingly important for us to build a
presence there. Our partnership with Lucent provides us with a perfect
opportunity to enter this market with maximum support and minimum risk."

SEPTEMBER 09, 2005



AMSTERDAM -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT - message board) made the biggest splash during the opening day of International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2005 with some set-top box initiatives that will tighten its grip on the carrier IPTV sector (see Set-Top Boxers Support MSFT).

Microsoft has built a strong position for its IPTV middleware in the telco TV market during the past two years, announcing the sector's most high-profile customer wins and securing a partnership with one-time rival Alcatel (NYSE: ALA - message board; Paris: CGEP:PA). (See BellSouth's Smith Details IPTV Plans, Telecom Italia Trials IPTV, Microsoft Wins at BT, Swisscom IPTV Stall Sends Shivers, Alcatel & Microsoft Going Steady, SBC Awards Microsoft $400M IPTV Deal , and Verizon Makes Microsoft Video King.)

With deals like that under its belt, it was only a matter of time before set-top box manufacturers would want to build products that could interact with the network-based software. Today, French vendor Thomson (NYSE: TMS - message board; Euronext Paris: 18453) and its partner Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC - message board) announced the commercial availability of the IPM11xx set-top boxes "that support Microsoft TV's IPTV Edition," while Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT - message board) and Scientific-Atlanta Inc. (NYSE: SFA - message board) are among those set to launch similar products.

Both Motorola and Scientific-Atlanta have already been awarded deals by Microsoft IPTV customer SBC Communications Inc. (NYSE: SBC - message board). (See SBC Taps Motorola and SA.)

And to help expand its influence on set-top box makers even further, Microsoft is working with chip firms to develop low-cost system-on-chip products that can be used by the set-top box firms to make cheaper units more quickly. Sigma Designs Inc. is the first chip firm to have made such a product commercially available.

Sigma says that because its SMP8634 processor incorporates support for such features as high-definition TV (HDTV) and multiple video codecs, including MPEG-4, that this will make it easier and cheaper to build set-top boxes. The chip can also be used in other domestic entertainment products, such as TVs, DVD players, and gaming units.

But would products using that chip only work with Microsoft's IPTV middleware and not systems from rivals such as Minerva Networks Inc., Myrio Corp., and Orca Interactive Ltd.?

Absolutely not, claims Microsoft TV's marketing chief Ed Graczyk, who says other players in the sector have been spreading "totally false" rumors about the proprietary nature of his company's IPTV developments: "These chips will work with other systems, too, though we believe the best experience would come from using them with the Microsoft solution."

He says the cost of a set-top box using such a chip would depend on what other functions were incorporated into the product, but says this initiative is part of a drive to help reduce the cost of making a set-top box from $150 per unit last year to $70 by 2007.

Graczyk didn't have any customer news, but he noted that the full version 1.0 of the Microsoft IPTV Edition software platform would be shipping to telco customers in the next few weeks. Up to now, carriers have been testing and trialing beta versions that haven't included the full range of IPTV management functions.

Microsoft isn't the only company announcing a pre-integrated IPTV chip at the IBC show. One of its smaller rivals, Orca Interactive, has been working on the same concept with Texas Instruments Inc. (NYSE: TXN - message board) (see TI, Orca, ANT Join Forces ). And that's not Orca's only IBC announcement (see Orca Gets Flash at IBC , Energis Upgrades Its MetaSolv, and Dansk Bredband Picks IPTV Suppliers).

Trading Update

ANT plc (LSE: ANTP), the UK-based developer of software solutions for
interactive digital TV and consumer electronics entertainment devices, today
issues the following trading update.

The Group has achieved satisfactory results for the six months ended 30 June
2005 despite a delay in the expected growth in its core IPTV market. Full
details of the interim results will be released on 7 September, but turnover
will not be less than #1.17m (H1 2004: #1.03m) and loss before tax will not
exceed #0.87m (H1 2004: loss of #0.43m). The Group is in a financially strong
position with cash at the end of June of #9.81m.

However, Group revenues for the full year are now expected to fall materially
short of expectations as a result of specific customer delays in planned
rollouts. These rollouts are still expected to occur but have been delayed by 6
to 12 months, leading to a similar delay in ANT's revenue growth.

Costs have been managed very closely, in line with those anticipated at the time
of the flotation, and are likely to remain at their current level for the
foreseeable future.

Whilst this is disappointing in the near term, ANT has made considerable
progress in building upon previous growth in its core IPTV market by further
developing its leading solutions, strengthening its relationships with those
influencing software selection, and concluding a number of licences for its
software solutions. It has materially strengthened its position through its OMC
agreement with Alcatel which is expected to lead to significant deployments. ANT
also recently announced the launch by six of its licensees of set top boxes
equipped with its next generation browser-based software.

Simon Woodward, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"ANT has continued to grow its market share and position in IPTV and beyond
and our confidence in the medium to long term prospects of the Group remains
undiminished."
