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.

Excellent news. It also looks like there is more than one potential bidder.

Stock market report tonight

Shares in 3-dimensional games group Superscape rose 0.75p to 17p after London's Evening Standard said that Rupert Murdoch's Fox media empire was understood to be the front runner to buy the company - and a deal was expected soon. The newspaper said that the board was believed to be under pressure from institutional investors to conclude a quick sale.

From AB so the press rumour rolls on. The buyer has been identified an announcement from SPS will send this share rocketing. Strong buys at the close 3 1m buys. Someone getting in big will wait to see the Rule 8s on this one.
DYOR (As with EA the rumour was not correct) SPS is not a share for the feint hearted just those with empty wallets (at the moment). This time next week could mean a different story.

moneyman - 23 Jan 2006 22:37 - 628 of 707

Or those looking for a company with potential exponential growth !

hilary - 24 Jan 2006 09:23 - 629 of 707

Or put another way:

Disillusioned large shareholder wants out (who can blame him?).
Morally corrupt broker takes naive financial journalist for free lunch.
Feeds him prawn cocktail for starters followed by a large helping of bullsh!t for main course.
Journo prints "scoop" in Sunday rag.
Mug punters rush in on the mark up Monday morning.

pinechris - 24 Jan 2006 09:48 - 630 of 707

is this the same superscape that was tipped over 12 months ago in a certain shares mag at about 55p, with an excellent 4?th quarter forecast which turned out to be crap at best, and how about this list of about 10 companies supposedly all wanting to buy the company? of course it has potential growth, I mean, it can't go down much further can it?

I guess it just goes to show that there's no such thing as a free lunch. I'll bet that journo's got indigestion now.

hlyeo98 - 30 Jan 2006 12:50 - 633 of 707

Taken a turn downwards to 13p today.

hilary - 30 Jan 2006 12:56 - 634 of 707

Morgan Stanley still dumping. Wonder if there's another free lunch going?????????

:o)

Hotei - 30 Jan 2006 13:22 - 635 of 707

oh dear - that hurt !

hangon - 30 Jan 2006 15:53 - 636 of 707

Forget all the Potential, all the dev costs and the cash - what will you pay for a game to play on your mobile-phone screen?
You'd become short-sighted before completing one game, or somone might notice you weren't working too hard.
/
I suspect it isn't a business that has great potential until they find an outlet....that is something/where folk want to spend real money. IMHO that can only be TV screens and with the possibility of internet interaction who will want yeaterday's games technology (esp on small mobile phone screens).
/
I had held these for some years then sold at 24p after a disasterous AGM when investors were made to feel pretty unwelcome. The rest, as they say, is history.
/
Keep your investors sweet; keep your customers happy; keep the business growing - only then award Execs whatever is left.
Too many business get their priorities wrong and it ends in tears - so SPS has a cash pile - have you seen it?
Grr

hlyeo98 - 30 Jan 2006 18:10 - 637 of 707

This poor management will go below 10p within this week

Didn't you top up.

LONDON (Reuters) - Shares in mobile phone games developer Superscape Group leapt 40 percent on Monday after the group said revenue in the current year would be significantly higher than the year before.

Shares in Superscape were up 35 percent at 13-1/2 pence by 0920 GMT, down from their earlier high of 14 pence, valuing the group at around 24.3 million pounds.

The stock had sunk to a near record low of 9-3/4p late last month, a fraction of a peak above 723p seen in early 1996.

Superscape, which develops and publishes 2D and 3D mobile telephone games such as Ali Boxing 3D, Ducati 3D Extreme and AMF Xtreme Bowling, said revenue in the current financial year would significantly exceed that of the year ended January 2006.

The group said following a recent restructuring programme to save 3.5 million pounds a year, it was on track to turn profitable and cash flow positive during the second half of fiscal 2007.

The group is expected to post results for the year to end-January 2006 on April 21. In the year ended January 2005 the group posted a pretax loss of 5.5 million pounds.

Hilary? Top up on SPS? You must be joking. Backing losers just isn't her style.

hilary - 04 Apr 2006 07:58 - 642 of 707

Put the coffee on and take a whiff, driver.

They've p!ssed away 5m in the 6 months from end July to end Jan and are continuing to do so. They've fed investors with jam tomorrow bullsh!t since Adam gave Eve an apple, and they still continue to do so. They've got just about enough cash left to last around 15 months before going t!ts up, so it's no wonder they've implemented a major cost cutting program.

Will they be able to tap up the market for another rescue rights issue in 1 years time or has the market had enough at last?

And at the end of it all, who really gives a stuff about the silly little games anyway? You need to file your fingers down to a point to be able to press the keys and have eyes like a hawk to see the screen.

MM's right. I don't back losers!

AGM STATEMENT


Superscape shareholders approved all the resolutions put to the Annual General
Meeting held in Hook , Hampshire today. At the meeting Chief Executive , Kevin
Roberts , announced that total revenues for Q1 06/07 were approximately #1.8m
(unaudited) of which publishing revenues represented 90%. This represents an
increase of 27% in publishing revenue over Q4 05/06. Mr Roberts also announced
that quarterly paid game downloads had exceeded I million for the first time.

moneyman - 08 Jun 2006 14:25 - 644 of 707

Good to see the Superscape now starting to set expectations and then, if anything, slightly over-deliver. The 10% revenue contribution from non-publishing is useful to see.

The publishing revenue growth story still appears to be increasingly solid, as each successive quarter of growth is confirmed:

Last Year
Q1 339k;
Q2 365k;
Q3 888k;
Q4 1287k;

And now around 1635k in Q1, almost 5 TIMES the Q1 result last year.

There is an obvious TREND here, for anyone who cares to look; and I don't think the Q1 period is a seasonally strong trading period.

Anyway, already a 7.2m annual run-rate business, with plenty of further growth to get added to that before year-end.

However, to be balanced, I'm also hoping we will get an update of the expense base situation. But, give it another quarter or two, and I'd guess Superscape should reach the all-important profitability tipping point.

Price now reacting nicely to yesterdays news from the AGM.
