Superscape was founded nearly twenty years ago, and has been dedicated throughout its history to the development of ground-breaking software technology for the creation and delivery of innovative, high quality interactive 3D applications.
Over the years, Superscape has amassed unparalleled expertise and experience in the development of 3D software capable of working within the constraints of limited memory devices, slow processor speeds and strictly controlled file sizes.

Drawing on this knowledge, Superscape has established a world-leading position in the development of industry-standard 3D technology and applications for mobile devices. The company's Swerve technology has been developed specifically for wireless environments in close collaboration with ARM, and comprises a 3D engine (Swerve Client), authoring tools (Swerve Studio) and a broad portfolio of 3D content, with particular emphasis on 3D games. Swerve is being adopted on a global basis by many of the mobile industry's leading players, together with world-renowned content and brand organisations.

Superscape has corporate headquarters in Hook, Hampshire (UK) and San Clemente, California (USA) with regional offices in Tokyo and Sydney. The company is quoted on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: SPS).



Superscape (SPS) has received various tips in the press and by Analysts recently which will certainly give impetous to the share price. Indicators are looking good with the RSI rising off an oversold position and the MACD crossing showing BULLISH signs for the stock.

The mobile gaming market is still in it's infancy but the projected revenue is enormous. Mobile operators are looking at tapping the Gameboy market as they feel that users will not want to carry around a multitude of technology and if they have a mobile phone which can double as a gaming station than people will prefer this option.

People should also look at the recent contracts which SPS have signed for their technology. This is a technology company which could well be a great success in 2004.

Just spoke to Orange & the 6630 is availible from 2nd Jan, maybe with SPS on board.

Yesterday's Share Mag carried a short article on iTouch (ITU) - page 8.

They are launching a games service for 3 per month subscription giving unlimited access to their library for Java phone games. On the surface, this sounds very cheap as other suppliers, are charging upto 6 per game.

Does this affect SPS in any way ?

It will hopefully help sell the product of downloadable and onine games through your phone BUT of course they will not be 3D using SWERVE technology!Unless thsy also would like to buy from SPS!-IMO

More excellent news. And I think we are close to getting some indication on figures (i.e. hand sets sold with Swerve onboard and games downloaded).

SUPERSCAPE SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH HONG KONG'S LEADING NETWORK OPERATOR FOR 2D AND
3D MOBILE GAMES


Wednesday 12th January 2005, Hook, Hampshire, UK: Superscape Group plc (LSE:
SPS), the world's leading 3D mobile games publisher, announces that it has
signed a revenue-sharing mobile games distribution agreement with Hong
Kong-based SmarTone. Under the terms of the agreement, SmarTone will distribute
both Superscape's 2D and 3D games titles to their consumers.

SmarTone has also secured exclusive distribution rights for the recently
launched E680 mobile phone from Motorola, which includes a number of
Superscape's 3D titles including Evel Knievel, Independence Day and AMF Bowling.
Since its launch on 14th October, the E680 has proved to be an instant hit:
one retailer reported running out of stock within three days of the phones'
arrival.

Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: 'I am delighted with this most
recent network operator agreement. SmarTone is a major player in this region
and is recognised as one of Asian's leading brands. The results of an
independent survey confirmed that SmarTone offers the best network performance
for multimedia services in Hong Kong. I am sure that consumers will be excited
and captivated by the Superscape games which SmarTone will deliver to them.'

Superscape has previously announced distribution agreements with twelve of the
company's targeted top fifteen operators, together with more than sixty regional
operators.

This will rise past 60p by the end of this week.

hlyeo98,

I agree it will be over 60p (might take til mid next wk, but will happen). I think we need a new support level of around 75p - but RNS is needed for that.

skids

Now that Xmas is over, does anybody know if SPS will be coming out with a trading update ? After all the anouncements at the back end of last year it would be nice to see some hard numbers. You never know, even IC may come onboard !

I'd imagine we'll get an indicator before end of Q1. CarphoneWarehouse has released a trading update recently, and so will most other handset operators. The up take of new 3G phones looks good. Its the download figures we need, and with so many people now adopting Swerve it could take a while to consolidate all the figures.

My guess is by end of Jan we'll get some sort of indicator (IMO), perhaps not with hard figures yet, but a good idea.

skids

On the news today that the regulator, OFCOM, is opening up more of the airspace (or spectrum) to allow more 3G-type operators to compete. This will take place between now and 2012. Anything that adds to 3G (and the forthcoming Super 3G standard) can only help companies such as SPS

Carphone warehouse and Vodafone announced strong handset sales over Christmas with orecasts significantly exceeded. This will see SPS push up further early next week and hopefully even a trading statement. Will get to 70p no worries on this so long as in line with expectations.

I get the impression someone has been buying up stock over the last few weeks! Is there an update on its way perhaps?

skids

What akes you say this, skids?

Over the last few weeks there have been a large number of trades at mid price (i.e. not shown as buy or sell). The price has dropped, but not by much. It looks as though the sells out-weigh the buys (because most of the volume is mid priced), but I think there is actually a lot of buying going on, perhaps by the same buyer looking for a large volume.

My guess is we will be getting some news on figures soon (IMO).

Keep an eye on it. Lots of sells, then a big mid price trade.

skids

We need some news it is on the slide.

Kivver,

Is it? I don't agree. Its dropped, but I doubt it'll freefall. All these agreements and a global patent won't equate to no sales. Give it some more time.

The problem is no-one actually knows how much SPS could make. There have been guesses based on analysis of potential growth is gaming, etc. But we won't know until the cash starts coming in.

skids

now a 5% drop, lost too much money in the past to become to complacent, hope your right skids.

Kivver,

I'm in medium term, so if it drops by 10% I still won't sell because I believe SPS can only gain longer term. But if you need the money tomorrow, then you need to decide what risk your prepared to take - not wanting to teach you how to suck eggs, but we each have our own levels of risk.

PET is a good example I think, it fell like a stone and a lot of people (I imagine) lost a lot of money when they sold. But if PET goes back up in 6 mths then those that stayed will be OK.

I'm a holder of SPS and have been for a while now, so I believe in the direction. You must decide for yourself.

kind regards,
skids

P.S the market in general is bad today anyway.

Drops in price are always a concern especially in SPS whom i rate so highly, but as i know not of any change in their circumstances I am just envious of thos who just bought at 51p. I have no free funds or I would be tempted.

I thinks its just expectation that some news should have been posted by now of figures, etc. Fundamentally nothing has changed, if anything it should be rising on the back of recent revenue share deals. But as we all know, there are lots of people expecting a quick buck, and when it doesn't come off they go - arr well.

The 3GSM World COngress is on Feb 14-17, no doubt there will be figures by then. Who knows, SPS may even win an award.

60p is the hurdle at the moment, but so positive figures should scale that easily IMO.
