SUPERSCAPE FIRST TO MARKET FOLLOWING RATIFICATION OF NEW JAVA STANDARD FOR 3D ON MOBILE PHONES





Superscape Group plc (LSE: SPS) announces that following the official ratification today by the Java Standards Community of JSR 184 to be known as the Mobile 3D Graphics API the companys Swerve technology is the worlds first commercially available implementation of this standard for delivering rich media 3D on mobile devices.



The new award winning Mobile 3D Graphics API standard is the result of more than a years development work by a highly experienced Expert Group of the Java community. Superscape was a founder member of this Group, which also included Nokia, Vodafone, Siemens, ARM, Sony Ericcson and Motorola. Having been intimately involved in every aspect of the development of this new global standard, Superscape has been ideally placed to develop a standards-compliant 3D engine, authoring tools and associated content branded as Swerve.



Superscapes Swerve software has been developed in close collaboration with ARM. Swerve Client (the engine) has been optimised to run on a single ARM 9 (or above) processor and can also use any available hardware acceleration on the handset using OpenGL ES. It provides an elegant and cost-effective means of delivering console quality, high performance 3D applications, including games, on mass-market mobile phones. Swerve Studio (the authoring tool) is a fully compliant development environment for creating console quality interactive 3D applications for wireless devices. It is based on the industry-standard design software, 3D Studio Max.



Recent agreements with Siemens, Samsung and Motorola, as well as a number of major content and brand organisations, including Sony, have provided strong endorsement of the leading position of Superscapes Swerve technology in the global mobile marketplace.



Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: The final ratification of this standard represents a significant milestone for Superscape and the culmination of many months of highly focused development work together with other key players in the Java community. The new standard to which our Swerve technology has been designed to be fully compliant will enable the over the air (OTA) delivery of console quality Java games, a sector that is predicted to account for 88.3 per cent of total mobile game sales of just below $7 billion in Europe in 2006.

Sunday Tip

Midas, Mail on Sunday
30 November 2003
CREATING an industry standard is the ambition of every technology company and mobile phone games firm Superscape Group looks well placed in its sector.
Its Swerve three-dimensional graphics software, which it has developed with chip designer ARM, is used in mobile phones to enable them to play games and perform other functions.
Like many developing technology companies, Superscape has been something of a jam-tomorrow story, but in recent months it has begun to show signs of delivering.
Chief executive Kevin Roberts has released a steady stream of announcements, which are lifeblood to small companies such as Superscape.
In July, phone maker Siemens said it would use Swerve in a selection of its mobiles and last month it was joined by Samsung and Motorola, giving Superscape three of the top five manufacturers.
While Swerve's use on millions of phones in the next year will be a fillip for Superscape, the real kick to turnover will come from content, and the company has also signed deals in this area.
It has co-published with Sony a game based on the film S.W.A.T., starring Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Farrell, while it also has a revenue-sharing deal with Disney to develop two games.
Because the company is still in a development phase, having switched from creating software for PCs to mobiles a couple of years ago, it is still making losses.
Interim results announced last month showed operating losses fell 26% to 3.7 million, helped by cost-cutting. The company raised 9.3 million through a share issue at 29p to fund further development.
Shares in Superscape, which was founded 20 years ago, closed on Friday at 31p, valuing the company at 38 million.
Midas verdict: Superscape is operating in markets set for stellar growth in the next few years, but its success is not a foregone conclusion and it is a high-risk investment. Since it is making losses, valuing the group is difficult and investors must hope that it can convert its potential into turnover during the next couple of years. But there should be room in every portfolio for speculative shares. While Superscape could disappoint, if it succeeds the potential could be massive, so it is worth buying a few shares.

SUPERSCAPE SIGNS LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH ACTIVISION TO BRING LEADING PLAYSTATION
2 TITLE TO MOBILE PHONES


multi-player interactive 3D version of Street Hoops(R) under development for
Java and Brew-based mobiles


Superscape announced today that the company is working together with Activision,
Inc. under the terms of a license agreement to develop an innovative 3D version
of the street-style basketball game - Street Hoops(R) - for Java and Brew-based
mobile phones. The game, which will utilise Superscape's Mobile 3D Graphics API
(JSR 184 compliant) interactive 3D Swerve technology, will be accessible for
consumers via over the air (OTA) download and will become available Q4 2003 for
Brew and Q1 2004 for the Java version.


The wireless version of Street Hoops will be a two-on-two game where players
compete for points on a selection of different courts, including Venice Beach,
Jackson Park and Rucker Park. To successfully complete a court, the player must
beat four increasingly difficult teams. Cash prizes are awarded for wins, with
players having the option to use this to either unlock more courts or to buy
additional players. Well known street ball players, including Headache, Hot
Sauce and Speedy, will all be featured in the new Street Hoops game.


Dave Anderson, Director of Business Development and Licensing for Activision,
Inc. said: 'We are delighted to be working with Superscape on the development
of a version of Street Hoops for mobile phones. We believe that Superscape's
Swerve technology is a unique development platform, providing high quality
images and the small file sizes which are essential for over the air delivery of
mobile games.'


Kevin Roberts, CEO, Superscape Group plc said: 'The development and
distribution of high quality 3D content for mobile phones, utilising
well-established IP such as Street Hoops, is a key part of Superscape's strategy
to establish Swerve as the de facto standard for 3D on wireless devices. I am
excited by the opportunity to work with Activision, a leading global publisher,
and believe that this new version of Street Hoops will prove a hit with network
operators, handset manufacturers and consumers.'

Thanks Toby Jug.

Maybe they will leave Nokia news for Christmas release ;-)

Strong buying again today.

OT take a look at the vol and MM activity in PXC today.

I think its inevitable that Nokia will sign some sort of agreement to use the SPS technology in some of its phones. The patents are in place and SPS will increase on the back of sales, which will hopefully be more than games - as the technology is for 3D graphics increasingly being used on mobiles for everything from Menu's to WAP to games.

skids I agree that it is just a matter of time before we see that RNS and it should be worth 15-20%.

The main force that will be giving massive support to SPS's Swerve technology is the graphical user interface & content urgently required by mobile phone co's who need to recoup the enormous fees they paid for their 3G Licences.

Until they have a reasonable amount of graphical user content with business & personal software applications (as well as games) on all new 3G Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Seimens, Motorola, Samsung Etc. phones then their RPU will be limited. The likes of Vodaphone, Orange & T-Mobile will be certainly looking for the return on their investments and there is an obvious race for these networks to earn as big a slice of the 3G mobile communication market there is. The better the content for communication software applications available, the swifter existing users will upgrade their phones and new customers are attracted to use 3G networks.

It is SPS's following announcement which makes it certain that their share price will increase significantly over the next 12 - 18 months and could well see their former glory when the share price was above 500p in 2000.

Superscape will see several streams of increasing revenues from their Swerve technology as :- 1) phone manufacturers with royalties from Swerve Client embedded into ARM9 chips in mobile phones. 2) They will earn licence fees & royalties from 3rd party software developers programming 3D graphical applications in Java & Brew for the mobiles phone game & business / personal communication market using Swerve Studio. 3) SPS are to also earn fees & royalties from 3D Graphical Games & Software Applications they win contracts to develop for clients, e.g. Walt Disney, or for themselves.

"Superscape rose 7% to 30p. Seven Investment Managements Justin Urquhart and Redmayne Bentlleys Michael Coleman have picked it as one of their broker tips of the year, citing its exposure to 3D game for mobile phones."

Also a couple of tips in the papers.

Borrowed this from the iii board, - Well worth reading and well researched:-

Now we can talk about more important issues regarding this small, highrisk/reward company, which is NEWS-FLOW!!!!

There are few of us who believe that the transformation of SPS will depend on development of games and their collaboration with major player ( I am definitly one of them ), so have a look at the contracts been signed and decide if what has been achieved so far deserve a market value of almost 36 m.

Brokers Forcast
"Well only one broker covering SPS....EBG and been bullish about SPS with a BUY recommendation!!"

BULL points

"@ 35% of the company shares with major institutions, including ARM. Well there are hundreds of small companies out there, and if superscape don`t have a recipe of a successful company they would not have the back up of these big names! @ Booming, explosive sector......mobile gaming!!"

"@ A long list of contracts been signed so far with big players, the like of Motorola,Sumsung, Siemens, Disney, Sony,to name but few and more to come in the next 3 months."

"@ Some of the financial tipsters are getting excited about this company and been tiped few times in the past...as well as new year tip which work both ways!!"

Bear points
@ No forcast of future revenues, so nobody knows if all these contracts signed will generate enough cash till profitibility.
@ The recent open offer which was unexpected.
@ They consume around 5mil a year!! (what do they do with the money), although they cut the number of employee.
@ The market may not take 3D concept as much as we think!
@ The company never made a single penny in profit, so it a jam tomorrow type company and if they don`t make this time then we are all doomed......
@ Nokia decided to develop thier own client, as well as other companies may start competing in the same market. but this one is not happening soon, I hope!!

"I think most of the SPSer on this board share this Verdict with me.......A high risk/reward company with a high chance of its technology to become a defacto of the mobile 3D market......so all in all it is a BUY after you do your own research!!"

"I hope you find this helpful and don`t hesitate to correct me if I am wrong.
Happy new year and best of luck!!
