More like 140 by November

[sonofbanjosinger] 02/9/2018 08:27

A couple of years ago they just published the figures without a disclosure before hand

40p by November. Who uses banknotes?

Nicostradamus can’t predict the next time he will fart.

[nico115] 01/9/2018 16:27

If I had to guess ,mid September ?

[argylerich] 01/9/2018 14:00

Anyone found confirmation of when the results are being published?

Last year it was 5th September.

[speedsgh] 30/8/2018 18:46

All very quiet here. Was hoping for a TU by now and confirmation of date for release of Interim Results.

[nico115] 22/8/2018 15:16

As we approach our figures in 2 weeks time there is a nice spread in size Good two way Still think a good buy sub 90p

Item 4 above was, I believe, addressed in this subsequent rns on 14/5...

G20 Central Bank begins Funding Sensor Development -

Spectra Systems Corporation, a leader in machine-readable high speed banknote authentication and brand protection technologies, announces that it was engaged on Friday to commence Phase I of a four-phase funded sensor development with a G20 central bank for use with polymer banknotes. The successful completion of all phases is expected to result in a long-term Sensor and Materials Supply Agreement commencing around 2022.

Dr. Nabil Lawandy, Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are excited that one of our polymer security features is on track for adoption by a G20 central bank. Once completed, this will be a decade or longer direct sale rather than a license and supply arrangement through a partner. We expect that this will firmly establish our capabilities and products for use in the growing polymer banknote segment of the market".

By way of reminder, the following was included in the Final Results released on 19/3 -

Prospects

We are targeting five specific opportunities, two of which are relatively near-term and three of which are somewhat longer-term.

The important, near-term opportunities are:

1) The initial small-scale sales of TruBrand materials along with cloud based authentication services in 2018

2) The funded commercialization of a polymer banknote technology by a major central bank

The longer term (2-4 years) opportunities are:

3) A licensing and supply agreement for polymer based technology developed through external funding with a major central bank

4) The development and supply of further upgraded sensor capability to a G7 central bank in response to a standardization requirement

5) The adoption of our Secure Transactions Group products for sports gambling which is on the verge of being legalized in several states. From New York to California, lawmakers in at least 20 states are wagering that sports gambling could become legal in 2018 and are crafting legislation to make that happen within their borders.

In addition to these specific and defined targets, we continue to pursue banknote tenders with major central banks using other covert security features we have developed as well as our TruNote technology. Furthermore, we have a second polymer based technology which we believe may be of great value through a possible partnership with a polymer supplier. This is an approach we are exploring before reverting to the more traditional approach we have taken in the past where we license technology to a major banknote printer or supplier.

We are pleased that we are able to supplement our sustained and growing profitability with a number of near-term and longer-term prospects of a significant scale. We are particularly delighted that the authentication business outside of banknotes is growing ahead of expectations, which provides recurring revenue to supplement our long term banknote business with its characteristically extended sales cycles and delays. We believe that we have a number of transformative opportunities ahead in several aspects of our business that will drive near and long term earnings growth for the Company and its shareholders.

Last year they issued a TU on 21/8 followed by Interim Results on 5/9 so shouldn't be long to wait for some concrete news/figures.

[trident5] 09/8/2018 11:07

No harm in it - it's just that his outbreaks of optimism seem to always presage a fall; although it's moving in the right direction this morning.

[blueeyes13] 09/8/2018 11:05

DbyD...yep, I'm still waiting for the lovely AJ Bell folks to pass on the divi to me also! :-)

[sonofbanjosinger] 09/8/2018 09:54

Yes thanks for that ...but just wanted to understand whats the harm of a large shareholder being positive about his investment.

[trident5] 09/8/2018 09:29

Son - Most of my comments on here were trying to help you recover the tax on your dividends.
