Noticed TWN over the last couple of days ??

Up 100% on BB speculation on another website.

Check out ZYZ - minimal market cap - similar prospects to TWN - moves on small trades.

As always DYOR - but IMHO it could be interesting.....

Great set of interim figures and a divi !

Zyzygy: Two interesting IPO's approaching for the investment group

Duncan Lipscombe, Chairman of Zyzygy Plc, has the enviable position of chairing a company which probably takes the crown for the most unusual name for a listed entity.

He inherited the name though, so spare a moment for him when he explains to us, (no doubt for the millionth time) what on earth Zyzygy means. It turns out that Zyzygy doesn't actually mean anything, but instead is a play on letters that ensures the company is the bottom of the list for EPIC codes: ZYZ. You can't get any lower.

Clarification about the significance of July 2006,
for Marinetrack and hence ZYZ is to be found on a slightly obscure
part of the Swiss Billam AG website:
Quote:
UPDATE- 14/02/06

SSAS The Final countdown.

A Feature Article in Solutions (issue number 113)February 2006 states:

" Members of ship security alert systems are gearing themselves up for a rush of orders as the Deadline for fitting them (SSASs) to older ships approaches.

From July 1, every ship over 500gt not already fitted with an SSAS will need to install one at or before its next safety radio equiptment survey takes place. Since the requirement to install SSASs came into force on 1st July 2004, all ships built after that date, as well as all passenger ships and all tankers, chemical tankers, gas carrier, bulkers and high speed cargo vessel above 500gt have already passed their mandatory installation deadline. This year's deadline applies to all other cargo ships of 500gt and upwards and mobile offshore drilling units constructed before 1 July 2004.

Effectively, this means that in the twelve months after 1 July this year, more SSASs will be needed than in the two years leading up to the final deadline.

A spokesperson for MarineTrack has promised to provide an exclusive update for this website within the next few weeks!

Marinetrack along with Nicetech, another ZYZ investee,
has been mentioned as possible flotation candidates
for 2006.

SAR shares were bought by ZYZ initially at 0.75p
so decent profit again made by ZYZ's management

Nice profit and with 30M+ still left even better ;-)

0.55 and in come the buyers.

Yes, I am one of them Moneyman!
kim

Good luck Kim

Cheers!
kim

See your in BLR as well. That should produce a bounty on good results at Arce.

I am hoping so!!
Kim

I expect we could have news regarding the impending floatations soon which would see the companies float in the Autumn.

Interesting times ahead and a great opportunity at these prices.

Buying at full offer now and online limits have been cut.

in for a gamble hope better than PCM
Alex

Nice news just released.

Nice news just released.

Online touch price 0.5/0.55

0.55 may not last long if your looking at buying afew.

Good luck

Someone picked up 14M today...news coming ?

Well that 14M knocked the offer price up to .55 today from 0.5

Another 9M today !

Moneyman
what is happening? there appear to be a few big sells in the last few days.
if someone selling then i assume there must be a buyer somewhere as the MM are unlikely to keep hold of that many shares especially as they dont trade much.
is it likely to be good news or bad? your thoughts

only in for a gamble so can afford for co. to go belly up but product looks worthwhile following hence the gamble.
Alex

Robert not sure. Now they have dropped the offer and narrowed the spread they look more atractive. Cheapest i have seen them at with the offer at 0.45

NiceTech are recruiting on their website. I like the bit about Xbox !

Zyzygy PLC
22 December 2006


Zyzygy plc


Results for the year ended 30th June 2006

Zyzygy plc ("the Company") is pleased to announce its audited preliminary
results for the year ended 30 June 2006.


Chairman's Statement

It gives me pleasure to announce a profit before for the financial year ending
30 June 2006 of #1,058,000 before tax. During the period we were able to pay our
first ever dividend, on the basis of the interim results for the six months
ended 31 December 2005.

During the year, in November 2005 we saw the AIM floatation of one of our
investee companies Angel Biotechnology Holdings plc. It was our intention to
bring both of our two current major investments, NiceTech Limited ("NiceTech"),
the Cambridge based software company and MarineTrack Limited ("Marine Track") to
the market in the calendar year ending December 2006. Although we have continued
to work towards this end, we now expect that both companies will come to market
in the first half of 2007. We have continued and are continuing to support the
development of their businesses, and during the year we were able to increase
our holding in both companies to reflect our ongoing support.

NiceTech has continued to develop its unique Alice Server AR software. In July
we announced that we had increased our shareholding from 32 per cent. to 41 per
cent.. Since the end of our financial year we are pleased to announce that Nice
Tech have now secured their first major contract with an internationally
renowned media corporation, as well as having produced their first on-line
computer game which will soon be available for sale to the public.

MarineTrack has seen the appointment of a new Chairman Doug Littlejohns and the
promotion to CEO of Stuart Nicholls, previously Sales Consultant. Since the
changes to their board and thanks to our continuing support, Marine Track has
made significant impact within it's chosen market place, with contracts
established with several major shipping companies. In February 2006 we were able
to increase our holding in the company from 57.5% to 69.94% .

It is the Company's strategy to hold minority stakes in businesses and to exit
successfully from those investments. Recent changes in the interpretation of
accounting rules which would have required a majority investment in a company to
be consolidated in our accounts have led to a decision to dispose of
approximately 20.1 % of MarineTrack earlier than anticipated. I am pleased
however that we have been able to sell that stake to a substantial Zyzygy
shareholder, Billam AG at the current valuation in the Zyzygy balance sheet and
on terms satisfactory to the board.

We remain confident in the foundations that have been laid in both NiceTech and
MarineTrack and remain confident that our investment strategy for the Company
has the capability to continue to deliver growth and success for its
shareholders.

Seems like now people have digested the news and realised the true value this will be bought up. Some serious talk regarding the stock having been shorted which may account for the matched sells to buys over the last few months. If that is the case then we could see a significant rise if/when the shorter closes.

hello, any thoughts on where this will go?

maxtor it has been a rough ride for holders but I am sure when the full value of nicetech and Marinetrack are realised this will go higher.

It was interesting to see that when the price started to rise the buying limit was cut to 150K.The last few weeks it was 2M so maybe this is the turning point.

cheers moneyman, they were putting buys through as sells yesterday, or so i believe,and it brought sp down,
lets hope the blue arrow starts to appear soon.

buys are going trough again today, no sp move though.

good news. new contracts won.

This now puts ZYZ on a different level. Should be closer to 1p then this paltry .35

moneyman what do you think the sp could go to, if and when they float the investments.

ZYZ up 4% today, due to market interest in their sub-company winning BBC childrens TV contract.

maxtor I would not be suprised to see this trade back to the 1p level where it was prior to the drop. Fundamentally this is a great little company. You just have to look at the volume recently to appreciate the interest.

Up again seems to be atrend forming-)

moneyman
Watching this moving up nicely.

moneyman looks like your prediction of 1p sp is on its way

Keep buying whilst it rises easy money to be made.

Nice move today and a 1.5M trade to close.
