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.

SPS have now signed 15 of their targeted 20 network operators.

skids: Fine, so they've signed 15 deals -- but what are the deals? There's an old saying in the software business "getting the deal is easy when you give it away".

How much and when?

You can always tell an ex-ICL employee by the level of cynicism towards anything even remotely positive regarding software deals and revenue ;-)

Ayway, to answer your question, the "deals" are distribution agreements for operators to make Superscape published games available for download. Superscape's share of the retail price will average 70-80% and will typically be paid monthly.

What else can we help you with, Derek ?

Errrrrrrrrrr. Don't they still need some spotty faced teenagers to actually buy the games before those 15 deals are worth anything?

Anyway, it'll be alright on the night 'cause Electronic Arts are going to buy them for a quid. Must be true .......... it said so in the Torygraph. Unless that's just a ramp to let a large seller out.

Actually, I think you might find that game downloads are one of the biggest things in some countries (far east).

I never thought ring tones would make much, but just look at how many bloody adverts we have now - they are making a mint. If games go the same way ( and I think they will) then SPS will bring in the bacon.

As usual, each to their own, I'm staying put.

Good luck to all.

Obviously the Nips have got small fingers and can press the little buttons quickly.

:o)

Hils, that is where you and your views are hiding. (FYI comments in the last post may be deemed by some as racist - a friendly warning - the term Japanese or Asian is acceptable, i would suggest an edit)

I'm not really the type to hide behind the wall of political correctness, proptrade, but thanks for the warning anyway. And I hope that we stuff the Frogs in the Olympic bid tomorrow too.

:o)

thats it luv, you keep em coming, then go make your hubby a cup of tea!!! lol (ps hope you are a lady)

Hotei,

You can always tell an ex-ICL employee by the level of cynicism towards anything even remotely positive regarding software deals and revenue ;-)

Actually, au contraire, old buddy, it's my twenty-odd years running pure software companies that gives rise to the cynicism, not my years of penal servitude at Infernal Confabulators Ltd :)

Why the interest today??? no announcements made!!

Kivver - notice of an aquisition made first thing this morning

part of the aquisition is to be paid for via share issues!!! Seen that before. I suspect todays rise will fall back.

Oh dear ;-)

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Superscape PLC (SPS.L), the U.K. mobile game specialist which posted a profit warning June 30, is looking to appoint a financial advisor to review its options, people close to the situation told Dow Jones Newswires.

"Superscape has recently met with institutions and shareholders that are aware of the delays in the launch of some of its games," one person said. "The company is now reviewing its options, which may include a sale."

She added: "It's very early on in the process."

Another person familiar with the situation said: "Superscape is looking for a bid in the range of 45 pence to 65 pence a share."

He added: "If Superscape is still on the market within two months, I'll be very surprised."

Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS.NQ), the California-based computer games company, and JAMDAT Mobile INC (JMDT.NQ), a U.S. mobile video game publisher, are both seen as possible bidders, according to analysts. The company's current market capitalization is GBP43.4 million.

Spokespeople for Electronic Arts and JAMDAT weren't immediately available to comment. A Superscape spokeswoman declined to comment.

At 1258 GMT, shares in Superscape were 3.75 pence higher, or up 11.2%, at 28.25 pence.

-By Sarah Thompson, Dow Jones Newswires; +44-20-7842-9280; sarah.thompson@dowjones.com

Expect a surge on an anticipated bid in the range of 50 -60p per share. Electronic Arts announced strong results Tuesday, hinting at more acquisitions and as they are spinning off high cash could be favourite. Also it could easily turn into a bidding war. It will be very intersting to see the market's initial reaction today:-

Superscape Group PLC ('the Company' or 'Superscape')

Re. Press Speculation


The Company notes the recent speculation and can confirm that the Directors are
currently considering all of the strategic options available to the Company,
including a sale of the Company. Investors should note that the strategic review
remains at a very early stage and at this point no advisers have been appointed.

Informative articles floating around - Talk of this share hitting between 45p - 55p Monday, Tuesday. Could this be another EIDOS type takeover - Doubled its price prior to disappearing. Good luck to those who hold.

Could you direct me to one of the informative articles ?

Cheers

SUPPLEMENTAL FORM 8 (DERIVATIVE)



DEALINGS/HOLDINGS IN DERIVATIVES

(This form should be attached to Form 8.1, Form 8.1(b)(ii), Form 8.2 or Form
8.3, as appropriate)




Description of all derivative products disclosed on this A Contract for Difference or CFD is an agreement between
form two parties to exchange, at the close of the contract,
the difference between the opening price and the closing
price, multiplied by the number of reference shares
specified within the contract. The reference shares are
the underlying shares specified in the CFD. The economic
performance of the CFD is determined by the performance
of the underlying reference shares. Although CFDs
replicate the price movement of the underlying reference
shares, they convey no right or requirement to acquire or
deliver the physical shares. The contract value of a CFD
is defined as the number of reference shares specified in
the contract, multiplied by the price of the underlying
reference share. If a client of Man takes a long
position, the client will make a profit if the contract
value increases. Conversely, if a client of Man takes a
short position, the client will benefit if the contract
value falls. The CFD contracts detailed below are
open-ended and without predetermined expiry/close value.
A Spread Bet is a product whereby the client to whom the
product is sold can realise a gain or a loss depending on
whether the price of the underlying share increases above
or falls below the reference price. A client's Spread bet
position is described as the client's stake. A stake is
expressed in pounds (sterling) per point and a point is
the price in pence of the underlying shares. A client
with a stake of #100 per point will make a gain of #100
for every penny increase in the underlying shares and the
client has an exposure equivalent to holding 10,000
shares.
Full details of any agreement, arrangement or None
understanding between the person disclosing and any other
person relating to the voting rights or future
acquisition or disposal of any relevant securities to
which any derivative referred to on this form is
referenced. If none, this should be stated.
