This technology services minnow is benefiting from restructuring its business, with a reduced loss in spite of a lower turnover. The company made a small trading profit - of 2,000 - which should bode well for the current financial year. Of its three trading divisions, cScape seems to be doing the best, winning a number of new projects and benefiting from the government's e-government initiative.
NetB2B2's publishing division ITM Graphics would appear to be breaking-even, while IBM business partner Blue Sky has changed its focus to higher margin hosting business, having shut down its consulting activities.

Shares says: Looks better placed after its share reorganisation and fund raising.

LAUNCH OF NEW CMS WIZARD IN CONJUNCTION WITH MICROSOFT
RESULT OF AGM

Netb2b2 plc, the AIM listed digital services group announces that its wholly
owned subsidiary company cScape Ltd has today launched a new Wizard tool
- The CMS Wizard, which will be given worldwide marketing support by Microsoft.

CMS Wizard has been jointly developed with Danish firm Mondosoft, and provides a
cost-effective way of building and maintaining a website. The CMS Wizard will
retail for $1,999.99 and is licensed on a per server basis. Revenue will be
split between the two firms.

The CMS Wizard requires minimal technical skills and has been developed to
create professional content managed websites from scratch within minutes.
Designed specifically to plug into both Standard and Enterprise editions of
Microsoft's Content Management Server, the CMS Wizard contains a range of
website styles designed to suit different organisational structures and comes
complete with an integrated search facility.

Netb2b2 plc Managing Director, Andy Gannon commented: "cScape has worked closely
with Microsoft Corp for over ten months to develop this product. Microsoft
promoted the CMS Wizard internationally to thousands of their Partners and
valuable feedback was canvassed from these parties to ensure the CMS Wizard
fully meets the needs of the partner community."

"We expect the product to be particularly successful in the public sectors,
particularly at the local government level. However, demand should also be
strong in corporates at a departmental level, where up until now they have
faced many deployment challenges when implementing a content management system
- a lack of relevant technical skills, prohibitive costs and lengthy timescales.
Using the CMS Wizard in conjunction with Microsoft's Content Management Server
companies can overcome these challenges by speedily creating well designed,
searchable, CMS-enabled websites at a fraction of the cost of previous
implementations."

Keith Young, Chairman, commenting at the Annual General Meeting of Netb2b2 plc
held today where all resolutions put to the meeting were duly passed, added:
"The positive trends mentioned in my chairman's statement of 19 November have
continued and we continue to place emphasis on both organic and acquisitive
growth going forward. It is very pleasing that our .Net Tools wizard has been
launched today in conjunction with Microsoft."

The CMS Wizard is available to purchase on-line at www.cms-wizard.com.

I see that this has risen quite a bit recently. Do you think it's still worth jumping in? Where do you expect the price to go in the next few months after results have been published?

Well?

It is an excellent price to buy these but these are a medium term hold. The price could get to 5 pence by the summer or languished at these levels.

A strong buy nonetheless. (See research on this thread).

Thanks for that! I suppose if the microsoft/Cscape deal goes well, then it could really fly. Big IF though!

Have been researching all weekend. If the NHS deal goes through this could soar and they have the right people with the right contacts, on board to ensure it does. I'll buy tomorrow or when opportunity presents itself.

Thanks!

A respected city broker firm contacted me on Friday who was trying to place a large amount of stock with individual private investors. They were selling the stock to me based on NETB2B2's relationship with IBM. They give a target of 5p within 6 - 12 months. (I don't hold this stock).

Prepared - when neb jumped from around .60 to 1p not many people managed to buy inbetween as the mm moved the price up very quickly so most of the holders are now in @1p or above. Keep an eye on this over the next few days as there may be official news on the msib plus pack which could see the price start to move.

Managed to get in today @ 1.28 and very pleased to be aboard.

bradleym - ITM Graphics a neb owned company has done some work for IBM in the past so hopefully something is cooking with them again, right now everybody is looking towards the 2 microsoft deals if another decent deal with IBM, NHS came along then this share will really take off.

No ramping intended here and as always... DYOR

prepared - lets hope you see an instant profit tomorrow !

Good Luck to all holders.

re: above message should have read Blue Sky a neb owned company etc...

Sue Helen

Any thoughts on the 800k sell? I am happy to hold medium to long term and will top up if I can get 1.25.

My broker has intimated that good news is expected when results are published later this month. This is too good to miss...topped up yesterday @1.30.

Good luck to all...DYOR as always.

when do the results come out ?

Last week of March I believe.
