There were 2.6+ milion trades at 3p yesterday, what were they?

azhar: Is that the reason for this mornings tick up?

The one fact that really matters is that IDD is in a growth industry that is well illustrated by their Interims posted on 2nd December 2004

Banking and financial sector sales up 135% helped by two major contract wins

Retail card sales up 154%, helped by loyalty and gift cards

Card industry now showing very strong demand across all sectors

From the Chief Executive's Review

ID Data sees major growth opportunities in its financial services business:

.....the smart-card industry is experiencing increased demand as banks introduce smart cards for Chip and PIN, retailers seek efficiencies, telecom companies expand and governments, influenced by geopolitical trends, focus on security and identity controls.

The benefits of these contracts will start to flow through in the second
half of this year:

"Since winning two significant orders in the period from two of the world's
largest issuers of financial cards, ID Data has seen the successful introduction
of this business and enhanced systems to ensure their exacting standards are
met."

I like the comment within ........
"There are some very interesting products coming out of the ID Data stable within the next few months".....
Very interesting!!

Is there anyway of confirming the late 1m quantity trade at 13:06 is a Sell? i.e. is there anyway it could be a Buy.

regards,
skids

some heavy buying again. something is brewing and some already know. been in these for ages, almost forgot I had em. We should see some substantial movement especially if the rumours of Id cards becomes true.

:o))

more like back to 11p ? and further.

This for me is a long term big help towards a villa in the sun !!

Im contemplating buying in to IDD. Is there anything that you lot have got to say that will convince me Im making a good decision?

Increased growth use of credit cards should see increase in IDD revenues

Great potential with national id cards, post office use of cards, chip n pin, banks etc

The acquisition of Mids & Horsey in March was principally paid for by a 4 million placing at 7p a share.

Recent agreements to supply major players GE capital and Citibank

Expected to make 1 mill pre-tax profit by March 2006 = 0.3p eps, putting shares on current sp on forward p/e of 8.3 = cheap!!

Uks leading card manufacturer; customers include Tesco, AA, Nectar, and EDS, plus many major banks, building societies, High Street retailers and telcos.
