Brought these shares as a spectulative share has anyone seen any news or read any reports about it's protential?

Results were 'forecast' in a Penny Share mag, not too long ago. 260k profit this year 580k forecast for '04 & very bullish chairman

The last information I have was after their results the beginning of August '03. Share Mag wrote 'A combination of maiden profits and stronger balance sheet certainly makes IDN's shares look more attractive today than six months ago. The group, which provides integrated phone billing services, also reduced its overheads and improved margins during the half year. With a market value of under 4m and a leap into the black, IDN could be an attractive morsel to its bigger rivals. Speculative buy. Last Shares view 27.3.03 Neutral.

another impressive rise today .. surely somebody out there knows something good ... sorry for the cryptic message .. i don't know why it has been on the way up ..but i am holding tight

I held millions of these once upon a time but considered it to be a dog (much like myself), you see it's all about timing! and now if you don't mind i shall put my head in the oven. Well played windys.

these have been rising steadily no nearning the 4p mark, still few weeks to go before results are out..still worth looking into

IDN results are out the first week in March. The results are going to exceed all expectations. This company has been recomended as one of the penny shares players of the year.
It has also been tipped in plenty of colums as a company to watch out for. One article in the Daily Mail last week descriced it as a little winner.
I bought at 1.25 and I am sitting tight. The company has just gone into profit for the first time this year and greater things are round the corner. Should speculation about a take over bid happen then you could see this share price rocket.

it has been one of my better performing shares.. only regret i don't hold alot .. hindsight makes a fool of us all!

Only a week to go before results any thoughts on what will happen after the results have been released, considering how well they r doing could we see 7p ? or higher let's hope so.

soz windy i have just started a new thread on this ..for some reason i couldn't find this ..my apologise

that all right kantona what do you think the effect's of the results will have on these shares?

I am in with 250,000 of these at 3.1p, cannot see 7p in the short term. I am hoping for 5p in the next fortnight. Results are expected to be impressive, how impressive will determine where this goes next week. I see 4.5p by Friday close.

windy..in response to ur question .. the share price has been very positive since the trading update they have moved up from 2.6p to around the current levels .. i am going to be cautiously optimistic and say i agree with Doshmaker with his analysis .. the current momentum in anticipation of the results should lift theshare price to the 5p mark ..after the results are known and then it's anyone's guess.

should be interesting few days ahead for this ..

P.S there is another co i hold chelford group (chr) ..very similar story to IDN a recovery play ..results due mid march --last trading statement very positive. etc etc ..is also worth monitoring. i vll dig out that thread as well

with good results on monday any reason for the price still going down?

Not going down any more. Appears to be significant number of buys. Been holding for a few months now. Can't see there being a sudden hike Monday, but a slow tick up will probably be on the cards.

impressive set of results .....

Final results for year ended 31 October 2003

Chairman's Statement

In 2003 the IDN Telecom group enjoyed a very positive year and we are now
trading profitably after the years of establishment losses. Last year we worked
very hard to secure significant improvements in profitability and revenue
growth. The further strengthening of our product and service offering helped us
to achieve several new major customer successes.

The Company has been successful in winning many major new accounts with
annualised expenditure in the range of 100,000 to 400,000. Successes have been
recorded in local government, health care and the corporate sector.

Revenues in 2003 totalled 9,209,000, which was a 21% increase on the annualised
revenues for 2002. Full year pre-tax profits closed at 258,000, which is a
2,438,000 improvement over the 2,180,000 trading loss reported in 2002. EBITDA
amounted to 555,000 (representing 6% of revenues).

Gross margins improved in the year to 30.3%, which was a healthy increase from
the 27.1% in 2002. Overheads for 2003 fell by 32%, as compared to 2002 on an
annualised basis, and closed at 2,499,000. As a percentage of revenues
overheads have been reduced from 48.2% in 2002 to just 27.1% in 2003.

Cash flow in 2003 was enhanced through a 430,000 share placement and rigorous
collection of receivables. Net assets improved by 688,000 from a negative
281,000 in 2002 to a positive 407,000 in 2003.

The line rental product has been successfully introduced into the product
portfolio and the majority of new customer accounts now take advantage of this
product. Improved purchase rates from our network providers and our enhanced
focus on tariff management have combined to enable IDN to offer competitively
priced services to its customers whilst improving financial performance.

IDN's offerings are based on being competitive whilst striving to ensure that
customer service standards are second to none.

As a 'Virtual Service Provider' without fixed infrastructure, carrier
relationships are of crucial importance. IDN will use only those carriers that
offer a first class network for national and international traffic, competitive
tariffs and excellent customer support. To minimise risk IDN will continue to
spread its network requirements amongst 4 to 6 carriers.

The product portfolio has been strengthened considerably in 2003. As one of the
first adopters in the UK of the BT line rental product, IDN has successfully
provisioned and now supports many thousands of lines across its customer base.
The mobile product offering, which was launched at the end of the financial
year, now helps to provide IDN clients with a true 'one-stop shop' for their
landline, mobile and broadband requirements.

The current trading year will see a further expansion of the product portfolio
in line with the communication requirements of the market place.

The Current Year

Throughout 2004, multiple product penetration strategies will continue to be
deployed, as there is a significant opportunity to enhance revenues and customer
satisfaction via the broadening of the offering into existing and future
clients.

Financially, IDN will drive for increased revenues via both direct and third
party channels and enhanced profitability through tariff management, margin
control and improved productivity.

In summary, 2003 was a very satisfactory year for IDN. The Company is now well
positioned to capitalise on its market opportunities. As a Board we are very
confident that we will continue to improve and further strengthen the Group's
financial performance throughout 2004.

The improvement in the Company's results would not have been possible without
the commitment and hard work that has been shown by our employees during the
year, to whom I extend my appreciation.

Chairman
