Interim Results

Positive Developments

Profitability achieved - Gross margins increased by 3% and overheads at
lowest level since admission to AIM.

Improved liquidity - The combination of positive EBITDA results and a
430k share placement has strengthened IDN's balance sheet.

One stop shop - Now with calls, line rental and broadband services, IDN
is a 'one stop shop' for telecommunication requirements.

Customer commitments - With the launch of IDN's line rental products, a
significant number of clients have demonstrated their commitment to IDN by
signing one to three year contracts.


Chairman's Statement

IDN has made encouraging progress in the first half of the current financial
year. At the interim stage, IDN has recorded a small net profit for the first
time in its history.

For the six months ended 30 April 2003 IDN achieved revenues of 4,349k and a
profit before tax of 5k. The trends over the past 6 months have been maintained
and IDN remains on track to achieve its full year objectives including a
significant year on year profit improvement.

Gross margins have continued to improve during the first half of the year and
are now 3% higher than at the beginning of the period. This reflects increased
focus on returns from new business, improved product mix and a reduction in
existing revenues where gross margins were low relative to the support costs
required.

Overheads remain under tight control and are at their lowest ongoing level since
IDN's admission to the AIM market. However, IDN will continue to invest in
infrastructure to enhance service and support to its clients and to grow both
the direct and indirect sales force.

The cash flow reflects EBITDA of 125k and share placement proceeds of 430k.
Net assets have improved as a result from a negative position of 282k as at 31
October 2002 to a net asset position of 153k as at 30 April 2003.

The market remains competitive but sentiment to IDN's services is positive
across the SME sector. IDN remains focused on its aim of providing excellent
customer service, comprehensive products and services, and competitive pricing
to its existing and future clients.

The direct and indirect sales resources are primarily targeted at the mid to
upper end SME sector and many successes have been secured in the corporate and
local government sectors. New clients in the period include Sara Lee Courtaulds.
Existing clients adopting IDN's calls and rental product in the period include
South Warwickshire Primary Health Care Trust and Lee Valley Regional Park
Authority.

Activity in the second half will continue to be focused on the objective of
growing revenues and maximising profit and cash generation. In the first half,
IDN has improved its position in the marketplace and expects that this progress
will result in a year on year increase in profitability for the full year.

maybe someone has heard that the results are going to be exceptional this year or it might just a feel good factor for the company pushing the price up. long may it continue. I wonder how hilary is feeling now, must have been a very good vet that this company went to. ha ha

mrjasonp - 01 Feb 2004 21:01 - 12 of 101

Results were 'forecast' in a Penny Share mag, not too long ago. 260k profit this year 580k forecast for '04 & very bullish chairman

bella - 02 Feb 2004 11:31 - 13 of 101

The last information I have was after their results the beginning of August '03. Share Mag wrote 'A combination of maiden profits and stronger balance sheet certainly makes IDN's shares look more attractive today than six months ago. The group, which provides integrated phone billing services, also reduced its overheads and improved margins during the half year. With a market value of under 4m and a leap into the black, IDN could be an attractive morsel to its bigger rivals. Speculative buy. Last Shares view 27.3.03 Neutral.

kantona - 05 Feb 2004 10:23 - 14 of 101

another impressive rise today .. surely somebody out there knows something good ... sorry for the cryptic message .. i don't know why it has been on the way up ..but i am holding tight

Golddog - 05 Feb 2004 10:47 - 15 of 101

I held millions of these once upon a time but considered it to be a dog (much like myself), you see it's all about timing! and now if you don't mind i shall put my head in the oven. Well played windys.

these have been rising steadily no nearning the 4p mark, still few weeks to go before results are out..still worth looking into

jenger - 15 Feb 2004 17:40 - 20 of 101

IDN results are out the first week in March. The results are going to exceed all expectations. This company has been recomended as one of the penny shares players of the year.
It has also been tipped in plenty of colums as a company to watch out for. One article in the Daily Mail last week descriced it as a little winner.
I bought at 1.25 and I am sitting tight. The company has just gone into profit for the first time this year and greater things are round the corner. Should speculation about a take over bid happen then you could see this share price rocket.

kantona - 16 Feb 2004 17:03 - 21 of 101

it has been one of my better performing shares.. only regret i don't hold alot .. hindsight makes a fool of us all!

windys160 - 01 Mar 2004 11:34 - 22 of 101

Only a week to go before results any thoughts on what will happen after the results have been released, considering how well they r doing could we see 7p ? or higher let's hope so.

kantona - 01 Mar 2004 12:23 - 23 of 101

soz windy i have just started a new thread on this ..for some reason i couldn't find this ..my apologise

windys160 - 01 Mar 2004 12:40 - 24 of 101

that all right kantona what do you think the effect's of the results will have on these shares?

Doshmaker - 01 Mar 2004 23:03 - 25 of 101

I am in with 250,000 of these at 3.1p, cannot see 7p in the short term. I am hoping for 5p in the next fortnight. Results are expected to be impressive, how impressive will determine where this goes next week. I see 4.5p by Friday close.

kantona - 01 Mar 2004 23:52 - 26 of 101

windy..in response to ur question .. the share price has been very positive since the trading update they have moved up from 2.6p to around the current levels .. i am going to be cautiously optimistic and say i agree with Doshmaker with his analysis .. the current momentum in anticipation of the results should lift theshare price to the 5p mark ..after the results are known and then it's anyone's guess.

should be interesting few days ahead for this ..

P.S there is another co i hold chelford group (chr) ..very similar story to IDN a recovery play ..results due mid march --last trading statement very positive. etc etc ..is also worth monitoring. i vll dig out that thread as well

windys160 - 05 Mar 2004 08:18 - 27 of 101

with good results on monday any reason for the price still going down?
