just added to ITL - had to go around all the MMs to hunt for cheap stock. It seemed there was a real stock shortage all of a sudden. Managed to get 0.5p inside with Kleinwort on the last call but he only let me have 25k.
Worth watching - think they have widened the spread to put people off.
Chart looks appealing too with indicators now turning positive, seems ready for a big move.
These boys are winning contracts ding dong andf the Mican forced disposal 2m ago took the steam out of the rise.
That stock seems to have worked its way out of the system so the stock is likely to move ahead now.

From today's The Business - Small-Cap Investor by Andrew Hore who edits Durlacher's Aim Bulletin.
Intec Telecom Systems provides software to help telecoms companies to lower costs and make their networks more flexible. Management recently confirmed that the outlook for telecoms spending is improving and there are four significant contracts that should emerge in coming months.
Intec supplies operations support systems software which is used to automate network operations and billing. The market for this software is estimated at around $30bn a year - or 3% of global telecoms revenue. Most of this is currently spent in house by the companies. The addressable market is nearer $3bn but is growing rapidly, because telecoms companies are finding the costs of in-house development teams rising.
Intec was founded in 1997 and has been quoted for nearly 5 years. More than half the worlds top 100 telecoms carriers are customers of Intec. Its overall customer base covers more than 70 companies. The company generates revenues from software licences, upgrades, consulting projects and support and maintenance. Intec has grown organically and through add-ons. The most recent was last years purchase of the Single.eView billing platform.
Management says four-fifths of orders are for more than one product. This shows the worth of Intec adding new products to its range as telecoms companies try to cut the number of suppliers they deal with.
This year the main focus is integrating Single.eView and cutting duplicated costs. This will hold back the short-term progress of profits. Q1 figures included Single.eView for the first time and showed a rise in turnover from 15.6m to 23.9m but a small fall in pre-amortisation profit.
Durlacher forecasts turnover will rise sharply from 69m to 115m in the year to September 2005. This growth is helped by last years acquisition. Pre-amortisation profit is forecast to grow from 7.6m to 11m but a rise in the tax charge from last years usually low figure of 7% to 23% means that eps will fall from 3.6p to 3p. There may be scope to upgrade forecasts during the year. Next years earnings are forecast at 4.1p a share putting the shares on a 2005-06 p/e of 18.
The business is very cash generative and net cash is expected to increase from 28.2m to 41.4m at the end of the current financial year.
The shares are near to the high achieved just under 12 months ago but there is still more long-term growth to go for. Buy.

I have put some cash today into this following the very good results. The management seem to me to be pro-active and the company is forward looking.

The price is now ready to break out of 60 - 65p range. Expect some sharp movement upwards, to the region of 75p app.

I don't expect anything, I am more into hoping for an upside, but do think the share deserves more attention with the increased volumes of new business and decent management

Of course I'm right ;)
This share will trade above 1 next year ( just don't ask me exactly when).
80p is the breakout point according to the charts. If you can afford to hold for several months, you'll be well rewarded. This company is going places.

couldn't agree more, now that overhang cleared(created by old owner Mike Frayne's share sale, though think still holds approx 20m) and definite signs of instituitional buying, and as you say breaking out of old range- i can see 75p soon, which almost equates to PE of 20 on this yrs adjusted EPS. prospective earnings can only be guessed at because next yrs synergistic effect of single view is difficult to estimate at the moment, however if it's going to carry on in this yrs vein, with a 60 % increase in pre tax profit then surely a sp of 100p is conservative- can't understand why there's not more interest.

I agree with both of you.
I wish I had bought more but I am almost fully invested.Slight concerns about Fraynes remaining overhang, if any, but with any luck they will be snapped up if the price keeps heading north.

Not a very nice update....
Intec Telecom Systems PLC

For immediate release 22 November 2006
Intec Telecom Systems PLC
Trading Update
Intec Telecom Systems PLC ('Intec' or 'the Company'), a leading supplier of
software, solutions and services to the global telecoms industry, today
announces a trading update for its financial year ended 30 September 2006.
On 7 August Intec issued a trading update indicating that, due to consolidation
among certain major customers leading to contract postponements and delays, it
expected that revenues for the full year would fall in a range between 113m to
120m. The Board noted at the time that 'it continues to be difficult to predict
the quantum and timing of specific purchasing decisions and the Board will
therefore continue to review the likely outcome for the year.'
Against a backdrop of continuing commercial effects resulting from the
consolidation in the US telecommunications market and the inherent uncertainty
this is creating, Intec has taken a prudent view with regard to significant but
substantially complete contracts with one US customer and has deferred
recognition of 5.5m of licence fees where payments have yet to be received,
which directly impacts EBITDA for FY2006. At the time of the 7 August trading
statement it was expected that matters relating to this customer would have been
satisfactorily resolved. As a consequence, the Board now believes that revenue
will fall below the previously stated range, at not less than 111.7m and EBITDA
before exceptionals will be not less than 3.2m.
Subsequent to the 7 August announcement, Intec has undertaken a thorough review
of its operations which has resulted in the acceleration of plans to move
delivery and development resources to lower-cost offshore locations. This will
lead to a one-off restructuring charge of 4.0m in the FY2006 accounts, which
will deliver an equivalent or greater payback in FY2007.
