SUPERSCAPE - TECHNOLOGY FOR THE FUTURE. (SPS)     

Happy1 - 03 Mar 2004 22:47

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.

News flow appears to be supporting the price at present. However the quality is not good enough for the market at present. Expect the downtrend to continue very shortly .SPS still massively overpriced. SP was ramped up big time last summer for the right issue. SP is still working this excess out.

ehall - 26 Apr 2004 13:45 - 42 of 707

Disagree momentum, 10 million swerved up phones out by the end of the year, count the royalties (not massive admitedly) but each phone will have at least one game on it and you get the significant revenue increases KR was talking about. I think it is reality, sometimes the best time to buy a stock is when the market has the opposite view now. would you go and buy a new house now, ask an estate agent, they will till you to but I wouldn't go near the housing market, same analogy!

Siemens gets Chinese WAP

More in your face than 3G


By Tony Dennis: Monday 26 April 2004, 10:17

DISPLAYING ITS preference for proven technology rather than bleeding edge stuff, China Mobile has awarded Siemens a contract to set up what it claims will be 'the world's second-largest WAP installation' in the South Eastern part of China.
The pair claim that more than 100 million mobile phone users will be able to use mobile internet applications via Siemens 'Mobile Smart Proxy' product.

More to the point this WAP gateway can support more than 2,400 transactions per second whereas by comparison the worldwide average is less than 100 transactions per second. Users will gain access to the usual stuff downloadable images, ring tones, and Java applications.

Plus they'll be able to use online games via their mobile phones and enjoy secure access to Internet sites. China, of course, had some 269 million mobile subscribers by Q1 2004 compared to some 293 million land lines, so mobile is more now important than the fixed Internet.

Siemens was the biggest loser from China's recent decision to delay 3G licences until 2006 as we reported here. Siemens doesn't say where the world's biggest WAP gateway is located, though.

Drivel momentum ! Try and understand the potential of the market which SPS are addressing and gaining major deals in !

Happy1 - 27 Apr 2004 10:19 - 44 of 707

Moving up nicely today with some strong buying.

I liked the 800K and 1.5M trades we have seen over the last few weeks.Seems as though someone wants a stake and if this continues then expect the price to be alot stronger from here.

momentum - 27 Apr 2004 13:34 - 45 of 707

Answer me this then Mr Happy explain SP performance the past 9 months.And if you like 3 months prior to this.However once a big seller is remove from the market the technical picture can change quite dramatically. Once 30p-35p is overcome rise could be substantial. Also 30p could prove a barrier to great and the downtrend continue.

Happy1 - 27 Apr 2004 22:02 - 46 of 707

Do you not think the Mms played a blinder today ? The 200K was a delayed sell from earlier and then on two small sells they marke the price down a penny on the bid !! Some other large buys and ratio was in favour of buyers.

Seems like they have a big order to fill at a pre arranged price !

SUPERSCAPE meeting with management

Following the results last week, we met with management of Superscape, the mobile gaming technology and content business, to discuss prospects for the coming year. Key highlights below:-

The business model has evolved from technology company to technology-led entertainment company. What does this mean? By securing relationships with the major mobile handset manufacturers last year, the company is now pushing hard to secure high quality branded content from the major film, entertainment and sports organizations and will earn the bulk of its revenue from downloads of content.

Handsets, complete with Swerve 3D engine installed, are ready to be rolled out into the market place from late May with European launches in the late summer.

The group has indicated in its press release that they expect 10 million such Swerve enabled handsets to be in the market by January 2005 (this appears conservative based upon production schedules) but the key will be whether that number is mass market within a further a twelve months i.e. nearer 100 million by that time.

First handsets are now on demonstration including the E680 from Motorola which, with 3D games running, look stunning. We understand demand is encouraging from the networks to have these phones running. Importantly, there does appear to be a desire to see these phones down at an attractive pricing point for the consumer.

The company has secured some attractive titles for launch within its library of 3D games. These games will be distributed either by embedding directly on the phone or being made available by Over the Air download. Swerve tools and the 3D engine allow for a game file size to be compressed to ensure a swift download onto the phone.

This week, the group announced that it has secured the rights for the Van Helsing film which is due for launch in the US in a week or twos time. A 3D game will be available and significant marketing budgets are being provided to launch the mobile gaming version. We would expect Superscape to derive revenues from this title in a number of ways including Over the Air downloads and embedding on selective handsets.

They would expect to be able to announce a significant number of new deals in the content area in the next six months which will cement its market leading position with library content.

They also expect to be announcing numerous deals with the network operators such as Vodafone in the coming weeks as they seek to drive the content component of the revenue stream. Gaming is expected to be a key driver.

The market has had difficulty in providing a valuation for Superscape as the business is still at the pre-revenue stage. Forecasts are naturally being kept conservative and this includes the timing of revenue lift-off and what impact this has on cash burn and cash resources. The company believes it is fully funded and that the move to cash flow positive will be during the second half of 2005.

Overheads of the business are around 8 million of which the only rising component is Research and Development of around 3 million. We expect tight control on these costs. The forecast for the current year is for revenue of 4.5 million of which 800,000 is already secured due to deferred revenue carried forward from the previous year.

The model is still high-risk, of course, but no one can dispute that the management has positioned this company well to benefit from the interest in mobile gaming. The agreements in place provide the endorsement for the technology. The shares are beginning to rise as the company moves towards revenue growth and one can begin to ascertain how successful the model will be. We remain buyers for high risk investors.

Yes the news keeps flowing and interesting to see revenue details too.

Seems like the Institutional buyers are continuing today adding further support to the price.

I have bought it today following its recommendation in Shares and it prospects of going higher

hlyeo98, that was good timing eh! There's loads going on now and the news flow will now be relentless. IC will probably call them a sell tomorrow morning but they did say buy antisoma a couple of weeks ago and they generally talk cr*p. Do the maths, look at the killick note above and combine with the revenues per game. 10 million phones by January and that's conservative, each with a minimum of 1 game, chip royalties, development royalties etc and then look at the estimate for mass market penetration of 100 million swerved phones, this is what will sell 3G. american distributor, Nokia and Vodafone on the way, Killick know that for sure. IC wil say this company is not worth 40m, I agree, it could be worth many multiples, bag some now as they could be about to rcokect and hold for a couple of years, then give up the day job!!!!!

Happy1 - 29 Apr 2004 18:48 - 56 of 707

Expect more news and more deals in the comming weeks.bbbbbbb

dusman - 29 Apr 2004 18:58 - 57 of 707

hi everybody things looking good at sps front.now who could calculate what could be the share price in a year time. thanks

Happy1 - 29 Apr 2004 21:26 - 58 of 707

dusman,

Lots of talk about SPS being profitable next year.This would be a major turnaround from where we are now and is probably the reason why funds are buying in at present.

People never thought mobile phones or text messages would ever take off.If you can play all your gameboy games on a mobile then why have a gameboy !!

The future is bright ------ the future is Superscape.

Adding tomorrow !

aevansdj - 29 Apr 2004 21:32 - 59 of 707

It looks like things are starting to move, a 14% increase in the price today.It looks like the tips given at the start of the year are starting to bear fruition.
All the positive news and more to come the only thing that remains is for the Directors to start buying more shares.Then the City has to start taking note and realising the potential.
I think the run upto Christmas could be a big shot in the arm for shares as 3G starts to come into the market.
This share could be the next big thing in the tech market I'm glad I'm in now!
