I just found this also good news...
LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Chinese fingerprint and facial recognition systems company RC Group Plc is targeting banks and airports for its security systems and said its 2006 results would beat market expectations, boosting its shares.

"We are currently in talks with one bank in Dubai and also with a couple of banks in China to deploy our security solutions for their banking services," Raymond Chu told Reuters in a telephone interview on Monday.

"With our systems, people go to the bank and just use their fingerprints or faces to get money out of the machine or do other banking services," Chu said, adding that the focus in 2007 would be to provide their products to the mass market.

"People might still be feeling more comfortable with using their debit or credit cards, but the technology is there to make things more secure and the fingerprint is your best friend," Chu said.

The firm, whose technology is also used to track newborns in hospitals and allow access to laptops via webcams, expects 2006 results to come in significantly ahead of expectations.

Corporate Synergy analyst Tony Lancelott raised his 2006 pretax profit and sales estimates by over 10 percent to 15.7 million pounds ($30.8 million) and 54.9 million respectively.

In 2005, RC made a profit of 4.4 million pounds while sales came in at 13.5 million.

The news lifted RC shares 7.8 percent to 97 pence, valuing the company at around 190 million pounds.

Chu is confident that biometrics will be used more and more in everyday life, as it facilitates procedures, provides greater security and "is fun".

"We think that the capability and the market to deploy biometrics on a massive scale is there," Chu said, adding RC was already targeting chain stores and health clubs in China.

Biometrics uses individuals' physical characteristics -- such as fingerprints, hand geometry, eyes or voice patterns -- to assist identification.

RC Group has also made progress in its target to provide its security solution to airports and airlines to strengthen security and smooth passenger journeys.

"We are in talks with five airports in China and two airlines in Asia," Chu said. Last year, the Hong-Kong-based firm ran a pilot project with an airline and two airports in Indonesia.

LONDON (AFX) - RC Group (Holdings) Limited, an international provider of biometric identification products, security and RFID systems, confirmed it has secured new orders of around 3.8 mln usd for the current year in the Middle East.

RCG Middle East has continued to build up its distribution networks throughout the Middle East with sales orders having been confirmed from Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates ('UAE'), the company said.

Orders include demand for the i4+, S-series products, Fx-window logon, FxGuard Pro and Fx-laptop, as well as tailor made multi-factor kiosks combining fingerprint, facial and RFID identification.

One of the orders is for the provision to one of the UAE's leading private banks with a fingerprint recognition-based security system for its 50 plus branches in Dubai.

In addition, Sharjah Charity International ('SCI'), a Sharjah-UAE based humanitarian organisation operating both within and outside the UAE, has been provided with a compact device for convenient yet secure access control to its premises.

RCG's biometrics system has also helped streamline attendance management and time recording, moving the organisation away from maintaining manual records.

RCG said it has also has designed and installed a biometrics time and attendance system at a well-known oil refinery training centre used for the majority of oil centres in Abu Dhabi.

Great reaction to a great set of results

Miles ahead of forecast and optimistic about future, goodness knows where this is going but with this sort of growth, cash in bank, dividend, current p/e is way too low imo.

Buy and hold with the occasional add on any dips is the order of the day here I reckon. Those looking to get in on post results selling must be cursing today.

all the best
