Tech recovery-growth stock Accesso Technology (ACSO) approximately 750-bagged to latter 2018, from the middle of the previous decade, to about 3,000p. ACSO was once a dog, falling from over £1 to about 4p, as investors gave up and threw in the towel at the bottom. It turned out that was precisely the time to be buying. And more recently the company has risen from about 150p last year to about 1,000p, as the World has emerged from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Any other views on OSI's imminent interim results? Or do people need time to meditate on it? "FINDING PEACE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM December 11, 2014 When life gets really messy and it’s hard to see beyond the clouds, where the sun may not permeate and there are more dark days than light days, what can you do to find peace? I have developed many practices that I lean into now: the practice of yoga, Shambhala meditation (shamatha practice), walking and hiking, working in the garden and weeding, and speaking with a teacher who empowers my own voice (rather than one who tells me what to do).

An extract from "100 baggers" by Christopher Mayer, page 131: "Most people chase returns. As an example, consider one of my favorite studies of all time, by Dalbar. It showed that the average mutual fund earned a return of 13.8 percent per year over the length of the study. Yet the average investor in those funds earned just 7 percent. Why? Because they took their money out after funds did poorly and put it back in after they had done well. Investors were constantly chasing returns."

DARK are up another 9.1% so far today, to about £8 per share! Which just goes to show how upgrades can move share prices. So roll-on OSI's interim results!! The 14.6.21 OSI video interview revealed that the company had won 25 new customers in Q1 2021. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttRp6mON5k That equates to an annualised level of 100 new customer wins p.a. In comparison, OSI won 16 new customers in 2020, a year in which revenues rose £0.26M. (2020: £1.43 million; 2019: £1.17 million.) 11/06/2021 07:00 UKREG Osirium Technologies PLC Final Results " ... Our "Land and Expand" model is built around securing an initial sale with a customer and then following with additional licences or product orders. This model continues to prove successful.

" https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/osirium-technologies-OSI/share-news/Osirium-Technologies-PLC-Final-Results/85337692 If the above stats. apply to the whole of 2021, that would equate to £1.625M. of net additional revenue. I.e. 100 new customers x £16.25K. of net additional revenue per new customer. Of course, reality could work out differently: the Q1 level of customer wins may not be maintained, and the net additional revenue per new customer may be different to 2020. But this 'back-of-the-envelope' calculation could indicate the potential for a nice 'surprise' on the upside. Note that as from Edison's 11 June 2021 update, they were forecasting 2021 OSI revenue of £1.68M. That looks pretty conservative to me, and I think that it could easily be upgraded. OSI's H1 results to the end of June are imminent (due in September), and could herald an upward rerating of OSI's s.p.

Last October OSI announced a contract for 5,000 endpoints (i.e. devices), compared to for e.g. contacts for 250 and 500 devices earlier in the year. Contract fees aren't revealed, but OSI's Fast Protect ransomware protection for backup systems is currently £4,995 for 10 devices protected for 3 years (additional devices available as an option). HTTP://www.osirium.com/osirium-fast-protect A contract for hundreds of times more devices than that would obviously be 'discounted' per device because of size, but still sounds like a big deal. So the fact that OSI is now capable of winning such larger contracts could potentially help to bring about a step change in revenues. OSI may also be increasingly seen as the 'go-to' specialist PAM provider for NHS trusts, judging from its contract wins over the last couple of years, and the company's statements. 20/02/2020 07:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Osirium Technologies PLC Contract win with major regional NHS Trust LSE:OSI Osirium Technologies Plc "Contract win with major regional NHS Trust Osirium Technologies plc (AIM: OSI.L), a leading vendor of cloud-based cybersecurity software, is pleased to announce a contract win with one of the UK's largest regional NHS Trusts.

It's interesting to compare OSI's latest 'outlook statement', from June of this year, with that from three years earlier. The latest outlook is subtly but significantly more bullish, including the phrases "exciting opportunities" and "vast opportunity ahead of us". The April 2018 outlook statement in comparison was confident, but more muted. The June statement also specifically mentions ransomware and home working, two trends that seem to be driving strong new OSI growth. Cybercrime has been described as the “number one problem with mankind” by Warren Buffett ... and who can argue with the 'Oracle of Omaha'? And OSI looks to me to have the most direct gearing to the ransomware menace of UK-listed cybersecurity stocks (not that there are that many). 24/04/2018 07:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Osirium Technologies PLC Final Results LSE:OSI Osirium Technologies Plc " ...

Since the year end, the funds raised in March 2018 will provide us with the capital to invest further in our sales, marketing, R&D and engineering teams to ensure the Group's momentum continues. As the global cyber-security market continues to grow and with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on the horizon, Osirium is well positioned and is sufficiently differentiated to take advantage of this opportunity. The Group has built strong foundations for the year ahead and we are confident of delivering significant progress as a result. Simon Lee David Guyatt Chairman Chief Executive Officer ..." https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/osirium-technologies-OSI/share-news/Osirium-Technologies-PLC-Final-Results/77243542 11/06/2021 07:00 UK Regulatory (RNS & others) Osirium Technologies PLC Final Results LSE:OSI Osirium Technologies Plc " ... Current trading and outlook Moving through 2021, we are seeing continued momentum with a record Q1 and a healthy pipeline of opportunities through our direct and indirect sales channels. While we remain vigilant to the ongoing economic uncertainty and risks to our end markets, we are encouraged by the gradual normalisation of trading conditions. Home working has laid bare many of the risks to cyber security among organisations, and many have made PAM a priority to ensure their company data, privileged accounts and regular business processes remain secure. The ease of implementation of the Group's platform and professionalism of customer engagement remains a key competitive advantages. Osirium provides the ideal solution for organisations wanting great quality security but without unnecessary complexity and protracted implementation. Healthcare, a key target market for the Group, continues to provide exciting opportunities, with a number of deals signed with providers in the public and private sectors during the period. In December 2020, NHS England announced funding for trusts via NHS Digital for PAM projects to protect backups targeted in ransomware attacks. In the first quarter of 2021 the Group secured a substantial number of new NHS accounts and will continue to capitalise on new opportunities in this sector. More widely, we continue to see strong demand across the public and private sectors for our services, with organisations valuing our ease of implementation and levels of customer support alongside our first-class technology. Post-period end, in April 2021, the Group also raised approximately GBP2.17m by way of a placing and subscription. These funds will facilitate the next phase of Osirium's growth primarily through scaling the Group's business in PAM and digital process automation, expanding the Group's partner channel network, and accelerating the Group's recruitment across sales, engineering and R&D. The Board would like to thank all shareholders for their continued support. Looking ahead, we expect the pandemic to continue to provide uncertainty throughout 2021 with respect to both our direct and indirect sales channels. While the exact timing of deals will remain difficult to predict in the near-term, market conditions are gradually improving, there is momentum in the business, and we have a clear and proven strategy to capitalise on the vast opportunity ahead of us.

"10 SEPTEMBER 2021 Are UK businesses doing enough to protect against ransomware? Mark Warren ...How prepared are UK businesses for a ransomware attack? New independent research shows UK businesses are vulnerable to ransomware attack. Although around 80% of companies have been attacked and over 90% say backups are critical to their recovery plans, a surprising number aren't taking all precautions to protect those backups. Why are backups so critical? Let's start by stepping back a little. If you consider how a ransomware attack works, you can see why this is so dangerous. Typically, the ransomware will be installed accidentally by a user that clicks on a bad link or installs an infected application on their laptop or workstation (take a look at Osirium's Privileged Endpoint Manager (PEM) to see how to reduce that risk). The ransomware then starts trying to escape the endpoint and work its way around the network. At that point, the attack is looking for high-value targets. In particular Domain Controllers because that would allow the malware to easily install itself on other endpoints and servers. It will also be looking for Virtual Machine (VM) hypervisors as many critical applications and security devices (for example, firewalls) will be running in a VM. Once the attack becomes active, those VMs will be disabled either through encryption or deleting VM images. At the same time the malware will be looking for backup management systems. It does this for two reasons: it could be looking to change backup policies to prevent backups being taken, and looking for locations and credentials for the actual backups. Once the malware has access to the backups, it will again either encrypt or delete the backups. The malware may stay dormant for weeks or months to ensure that complete backup cycles are repeated so that the infected data from end user devices or servers are copied into the backups. Once the ransomware becomes active, it will encrypt and/or delete the backups before the victim has a chance to protect them. Once the backups are gone or damaged, the task of recovery is much harder, even impossible, which makes it more likely the victim will end up paying the ransom demand. You can learn more about how ransomware attacks work in this blog post. Why aren't businesses protecting themselves? A worrying data point uncovered in the research is that a majority of businesses (53%) would prefer to pay a ransom than invest in protection against attack. That is very worrying. It's not clear from the data why this attitude is so prevalent. It's possible that IT and business leaders are underestimating the cost and impact of an attack, or that they feel willing to take the risk that they will be able to recover after paying a ransom. Either way, that's a very risky strategy. Part of the evaluation of cost of protection vs ransom could be a mis-placed assumption that protection if complex and expensive. But that doesn't have to be the case. How can backups be protected? The simplest protection is to ensure the credentials used to access the backup management system and the backups are never revealed to users or their workstations. If the credentials can't be harvested by the malware, then it can't do its damage. The research shows that although most businesses depend on backups for recovery, only 35% are currently taking active measures to protect access to their backup management systems and backups using privileged access management (PAM). You can see how PAM can protect backups in this video. Although this demo uses Veeam, the same principles can be applied to any backup system. Regarding the assumption that PAM will be expensive or complex, modern PAM solutions like that from Osirium are very different. As Saunderson House said, "We had Osirium PAM up and running in under a day" and Osirium are currently offering a special "Fast Protect" package to help new users get protection in a day. If you like to know more about the findings of the research, you can download a complimentary copy here, and please get in touch if you'd like to learn more."

OSI market capitalisation at the current share price of 25p: £7.35 million. Divided into OSI 2020 R&D spending of £1.81M. = PRR (price-to-research ratio) of 4.06. This highlights OSI's quite fantastic value and growth prospects. From the legendary tech stocks guru Conor McCarthy: "Calculate annual R & D expenditure per share and compare it to the share price. If the PRR (price-research ratio - share price divided by R and D per share) is 5 or less it is nearly always worth buying the shares. This applies particularly to recovery situations. As long as an exploration company has the wherewithal to drill holes, there is always the possibility it will strike it lucky. The same goes for an out-of-favour technology company. As long as it can continue to invest in R and D there is the chance it will come up with a blockbuster product. The lower the PRR the more development bang you get for your buck."

SWG (Shearwater) has been following a buy-&-build strategy, e.g. Brookcourt Solutions Limited for £30.3M. in 2018. So most of its growth is not organic, unlike OSI's, and it's dishonest of you to present non-organic growth as a comparator to OSI's organic growth. SWG's acquisitions cost has been massive dilution.

Well you can read, can't you? There's two lies of yours exposed very clearly in my posts 284 and 285 above: 1. The OSI share price HASN'T been in free fall for three years. 2. OSI's revenues HAVEN'T only seen modest increases relative to companies like IGP etc. As regards OSI's spending, you've got to remember, over two fifths of OSI's admin. expenses are research & development spending: £1.81M. last year (up from £1.77M.), accounting for 42% of the admin. expenses of £4.3M. (down from £4.57M.) This impressive level of R&D spending is building up the company's valuable intellectual property, including multiple patents, so to criticise the company for not reducing it is crass. It's like criticising a biotech company for making losses, and I certainly wouldn't want OSI to reduce their R&D.
