SUPERSCAPE AND ARM LICENSE SWERVE i3D GRAPHICS CLIENT TO MOTOROLA FOR SELECT
MOBILE PHONES

Superscape Group plc (LSE: SPS) announced today a licensing agreement with
Motorola for the Swerve i3D Graphics Client, which was jointly developed with
ARM ((LSE: ARM); Nasdaq: ARMHY)). The client is JSR (Java Specification
Request) 184 compliant, which is important for the seamless integration and
distribution of 3D content to the global carrier marketplace.

Swerve i3D Graphics Client will be embedded on select Motorola devices expected
to hit the market in mid-2004. By using the Swerve i3D Graphics Client new
features such as 3D gaming and 3D character based applications will be enabled,
providing additional revenue opportunities for operators around the globe.

Additionally, a number of 3D games developed by Superscape, using the company's
Swerve Author toolset, will be either embedded on select Motorola handsets or
available as over the air (OTA) downloads.

Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: 'This agreement with Motorola is
a powerful statement of the important position the Swerve i3D Graphics Client is
establishing in the global wireless sector. In addition, Superscape has also
been given the opportunity by Motorola to develop Swerve-based content for their
mobile phones. I believe that this will provide us with a worldwide showcase to
demonstrate the speed and quality of JSR 184 compliant Swerve-authored
interactive 3D content'.

thanks Jumpin'

So I ask why is ARM twitching so much, thought it would be a steady riser today at least? Anyone able to enlighten me?

Plantec,
ARM a bit of a let down in this rally...jusr closed mine still made a profit, my expectations not realised...

As a protest I decided to short SAGE...!

agree there, very much a let down, was convinced they would get a bit of a move on after the announcements.....doh, such is life.....more red than blue today in my little lot, double doh!!!
Shorting now eh?? Good luck!

Planttec does your bike change colour too? If we get riding at the weekend, I hope we are both VERY happy!

lol Linzi
Now you come to mention it it does !! catch it in the right light and the black becomes the most amazing blue you have ever seen, and the gold, well it just shines :) unlike my portfolio which just seems to dribble down the drain :(
Still tommorow is another day, just want ARM to rise about 3% from todays close and im out then THUS by lets say 3% also and INC to fly and i can see the new 2004 ZX10 on the horizon :)))
Weekend ride sounds like a plan, whats the weather forecast?

Did someone mention a ZX10? So, I'm not the only biker here after all!

If motorbikes were shares though I'd have to vote 2004 R1.

Hi Skids - I've just ordered the new R1. Hoping to go riding with Planttec soon on my "old" one (2002)are you joining us? -= Linzi

Anyway, back to SPS Shares - I feel there is more to come shortly! (in me water)

Linzi - I wouldn't normally pass on a 'blast', however my bike (2001 Blade) is in bits at the moment after a crash a Lydden during a race. So I'll have to pass on the ride out :(

If SPS goes skyward I might be able to get back on it this season though!

Ah - just dump it and get new R1 with profits!

Tip Update: nerve needed at Superscape

Superscape could have done without having to publish its interim results today showing minimal revenues, and a placing to raise 10 million may worry investors, but the fruits of a number of big deals should start to flow through soon.

Turnover for the six months to July was just 94,000 down from 510,000 last year with losses down 26% to 3.7 million.


However virtually none of last year's revenues were from the wireless business, which is now Superscape's only focus, and where the big deals of the last few months have come from.


Chief executive Kevin Roberts told Citywire that the City was expecting the first half numbers. House broker Evolution Beeson Gregory is looking for full-year revenues of 1.5 million, nearly all of which will come in the final quarter of the year. For next year this rises to 4.5 million, and much of this is underpinned by the recent deals with the likes of Sony, Motorola, Siemens and Disney (see related articles).


The company is raising 9.3 million net of expenses through a placing of 27,118,644 new shares and placing and open offer of 6,892,058 shares at 29.5p.


Roberts said this was to exploit the 'outstanding' opportunities the company now has to do content deals, rather than because it needed the cash to keep going. He said the company had at least 18 months of cash to keep going, but the number of opportunities coming its way now required extra cash to help Superscape deliver on these deals.


In the next 90 days, Roberts reckons there will be further announcements to come with 'high level' intellectual property owners, with whom Superscape does deals for the rights to develop 3D mobile games based on their characters or content. There will also be more technology deals with major players.


Through its relationship with ARM, which has already invested in the company and which is re-investing in this round, and with the major handset players and content owners, Superscape is also talking to all of the major mobile operators.


The company has potential revenue streams coming in from a number of areas, including providing tools to games developers, where it takes a royalty on games developed. It also co-publishes games, as with its deal with Sony, in which it takes the lion’s share of the royalties.


‘The cash register is always ringing for Superscape,’ Roberts said, which will be good news for investors who have so far seen little evidence of any cash registering at all.


Citywire Verdict:
Shares (SPS) are up 0.5p at 33p.We tipped them more than a year ago at 21p, and have advised hanging on in there ever since. The shares have been as high as 40p, but I still think the company has yet to really show what it can do, and this is not now the time to bail out.ENDS.

Well that will do me, take note of the new deals etc over the next 90 days, a price pusher if I ever saw one. Not the time to bail out, more like the time to wade in I would say.

cheers GF.
