ITIS is emerging as a leader in the supply of satellite navigation data in the information technology industry. They have come up with a new system of gathering real time and historical data called Estimotion. Profits for next year are forecast at 1.6 million but this is without the roll out of this new technology. Cash 6 million. ITIS report they are in a period of high growth.

Estimotion is an Israeli company ITIS purchased for $5m and combines real time and historic data to guide drivers through their satellite navigation systems to their destination avoiding traffic jams and giving the quickest route. They are also able to supply data to other systems including hand held satellite navigation and have contracts with Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood,
Panasonic, Pioneer and Siemens.

There stolen vehicle tracker NavTrak is the best selling in Europe and is fitted to 100,000 vehicles world wide. It has many other functions and further details can be found on the NavTrak web site.

ITIS have 13 three year contracts with major car manufacturers to supply RDS_TMC and combine their data gathering with the AA.

Further announcements are on the way and they also hope to win international contracts with both RDS_TMC and Estimotion. They are in talks with four governments.

Recently they came first in a comparison test with other companies run by the Sunday Times and there have been several write ups in Shares Mag including mention of the global market ITIS is aimed at.

Mobile phone companies will be interested in this one.

Well worth further investigation with announcements on Estimotion and foreign RDS_TMC contracts soon.

I like what is happening. I never had a doubt about the company and I have no doubt where the share price is going but I would like to see the newspapers get involved in this story.

TFC Insider share dealing, TFC company employees and management leaking RNS's on bulletin boards, TFC malicious reports and TFC planted press reports, TFC threats to ITH posters and involvement of the authorities. It might also get ADVFN closed down with a bit of luck.

Is cybit holdings a rival or a different type type of company altogether??

Great company. Undervalued. Topped up again recently.

ITIS Holdings PLC
14 September 2004



ITIS Holdings plc ('ITIS' or the 'Company')


AGM Statement


The following statement will be read by Sir Trevor Chinn, Chairman of ITIS, at
today's AGM to be held at Station House, Stamford New Road, Altrincham, Cheshire
at 10.00am.

'Trading has been very strong in the first half of this financial year and we
expect the high demand for our services will continue into the second half. Our
interim results for the six months ended 30th September 2004 will be
substantially better than those achieved in the same period last year as a
result of significantly increased revenues and tight cost controls which have
led to a substantial reduction in loss and reduced cash outflow.

Our business is split between into two main operating areas. ITIS collects
traffic information using Floating Vehicle Data (FVD) and our new Estimotion
technology (which anonymously samples the position of mobile phones in moving
vehicles) and distributes it to the automotive sector, (through RDS-TMC,
cellular networks and via short dial premium line numbers) and to both local and
central Government. NavTrak is our stolen vehicle tracking service and is sold
directly to OEM's and fitted to high value vehicles.

ITIS continues to be the market leader in RDS-TMC services and now has contracts
with Bentley Motors, BMW, Ferrari & Maserati, Ford Motor Company, Land Rover,
Lexus, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Renault, Saab, Subaru Europe, Toyota, Vauxhall
Motors and Volkswagen and in the aftermarket with Alpine, Becker, Panasonic,
Pioneer and Siemens VDO. We expect to announce further contracts during the
remaining part of this year ensuring that we remain the major provider of
RDS-TMC in the UK. As RDS-TMC is an international standard we are investigating
how we can use our knowledge together with the Estimotion technology to support
services outside the UK.

In February this year we announced a three year contract to supply historic FVD
to the Department for Transport and we are pleased to report that the DfT is now
starting to use and distribute our data widely. Both national and local
Government are key areas for ITIS and we will build on this contract from the
DfT to maximise revenues from this important sector.

The acquisition of Estimotion in December 2003 has exceeded our expectations. We
have secured O2 as a network partner in the UK and will shortly be taking our
first deployment in Scotland and expect other cities will follow shortly after.
We are working with the Flemish Government and Proximus, the largest network in
Belgium and last week we announced our entry into the US market with a
strategically significant contract to provide real time traffic information in
the Baltimore region. There is considerable interest from Government and
cellular networks around the world for our technology and we will find a balance
between taking advantage of this interest whilst ensuring that we do not over
commit in terms of resources. We will prioritise contracts where there are
immediate revenue streams and where we do not need to invest heavily in people
or infrastructure. Our preference is for licensing or partnerships with either
the cellular networks who can use the data which we produce to provide services
back to their customers or alternatively, those organisations who have access to
other markets where traffic data can be sold. Next month, under the terms of the
acquisition we will pay the next tranche payment of 816,000.

We believe that there is a huge market for real time traffic information using
our technology and we have proven that we can work outside the UK without the
need to use our own delivery channel. We are therefore focussed on using our
understanding of traffic and congestion combined with our knowledge of specific
applications, like RDS-TMC to support customers with the data they need on a
stand alone basis.

NavTrak is performing well as a result of our focus on manufacturer customers
who include Land Rover, Bentley Motors and Ferrari/ Maserati and is now cash
flow positive on a monthly basis.

The Board are extremely satisfied with the financial performance to date and are
pleased to report that with continued strong demand for our services and greatly
reducing losses our cash balances remain strong.'

ITIS Holdings plc (the 'Company' or 'ITIS')

Results for the six months ended 30th September 2004



ITIS Holdings plc, a leading UK road traffic information and data specialist, is
pleased to announce its results for the six months ended 30th September 2004.


Highlights


New contracts for RDS-TMC with Land Rover, Renault, Nissan and Vauxhall
Motors;


Extension of BMW Group contract for RDS-TMC to include Mini announced
today;


Estimotion acquisition has exceeded expectations with deployments in
Antwerp (Belgium), Baltimore (USA) and Scotland;


Turnover up 46% to 4.6m (2003: 3.2m);


Loss for financial period almost halved to 1.6m (2003: 3.0m), including
0.7m of costs associated with Estimotion operations and deployment;


Period end cash balance remains strong at 5.5m (6.1m at 31st March
2004);


UK business now approaching breakeven;


We are pleased to announce today that our next confirmed Estimotion
activity will be in Melbourne and Sydney (Australia) under the terms of a
new licencing agreement.



Stuart Marks, Chief Executive ITIS Holdings plc commented:



'These excellent results demonstrate that the combination of a strong order book
and vigorous cost control have enabled the company to continue to invest in new
technologies whilst retaining leadership in the provision of traffic information
services in the UK. The Estimotion technology has been very well received,
RDS-TMC goes from strength to strength and NavTrak has performed well.



Trading has remained strong throughout October and we expect the UK business to
reach breakeven during the second half of this financial year. As a result, the
board is confident that the company is well positioned for considerable growth
and profitability.'







Financial Overview


For the six month period ended 30th September 2004, turnover increased 46% to
4.6m (2003: 3.2m), which has resulted in an increase in gross profit of 1.0m
to 1.1m (2003: 0.1m). Operating costs have again been stringently controlled,
with a reduction over the six months of 0.5m to 2.7m (2003: 3.2m). The
increased revenue and continuing cost control has enabled us to reduce the
operating loss for the financial period by 47% to 1.6m (2003: 3.1m).



At 30th September 2004, the cash balance of ITIS remained strong at 5.5m
million (30th September 2003: 7.5m). Increasing revenues and the strength of
the UK business leave the Directors confident that ITIS has sufficient cash to
develop the business and to fully exploit the opportunities now being afforded
by the Estimotion technology in the UK and internationally.




Business Review



RDS-TMC



ITIS is by far the dominant RDS-TMC service provider in the UK and has been
solely responsible for developing the largest commercial service in Europe. We
currently have contracts with Bentley, BMW, Ford, Land Rover, Lexus, Nissan,
Saab, Subaru, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volkswagen and further manufacturers are
expected to sign up over the next few months. We also supply TMC to all major
aftermarket navigation manufacturers including Alpine, Clarion, Kenwood,
Panasonic, Pioneer and Siemens VDO. We recently improved our broadcasting
coverage through an agreement with Scottish Radio Holdings plc to acquire extra
bandwidth in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our customers sell their vehicles
throughout the UK and it is important that wherever a driver uses a navigation
system TMC can be clearly received.



TMC is recognised as the only international standard for delivering traffic
information into a vehicle navigation system. Through our international
development with the Estimotion technology we now have access to potential new
markets for TMC which we may operate with local partners.



Estimotion



Since its acquisition in December 2003, Estimotion has exceeded our
expectations. Over the last six months there has been a huge business
development drive running in parallel with integrating the software development
teams in the UK and Israel. This had led to deployments in Belgium, the US and
the UK, which are expected to contribute revenues in the next financial year.
Whilst the majority of enquiries we receive are for traffic flow information,
discussions at Government level have highlighted additional applications for our
technology.



Whilst the fully operational service in Israel enables us to demonstrate the
benefits of the Estimotion technology, there is no doubt that successful
deployments in Antwerp, Baltimore and Scotland will lead to important new
contracts - especially in the US where the Maryland Department of Transport are
viewed as early adopters of new traffic collection methods.



At the Company's AGM on 14th September 2004, we stated that our preferred method
of geographic expansion for this technology was to form partnerships in local
markets. This will reduce marketing, sales and administration costs and enable
us to receive licence fees and revenue shares with minimal set up costs.



We are therefore pleased to announce today that we have reached agreement with
Traffic Intelligence Pty Ltd, to be our exclusive licensee for the Estimotion
Technology in Australia and New Zealand and, as appropriate, other markets in
Asia Pacific. Traffic Intelligence Pty Ltd is in the process of finalising a
supply agreement with a major network and expects to open up Melbourne and
Sydney next year. Traffic Intelligence Pty Ltd is also tendering for various
Government and automotive projects which require high quality traffic
information. This transaction and others underline the flexibility of the
Estimotion technology and we continue to receive serious enquiries from around
the world which we expect to lead to the deployment of this technology in
various new cities.



As a direct result of the progress made with the development of the technology,
on October 1st 2004 we paid the deferred consideration due for the Estimotion
intellectual property of US$1.5m (0.8m). Excluding running costs and general
overheads of US$75k per month, this takes our investment in Estimotion to date
to US$1.8m. Up to a further US$2.7m earn-out may be payable over the next two
years dependant upon the performance of the ITIS Group as a whole.



NavTrak



NavTrak has enjoyed a solid performance for the period and is now cash flow
positive on a monthly basis. We have seen the subscriber base growing strongly
and the product has now been successfully launched in several European countries
in association with Bentley Motors.



A landmark event was the recent decision by Ferrari SPA to fit NavTrak on the
production line at the Ferrari and Maserati factories as opposed to the original
agreement where units were fitted at Maranello Sales in the UK. This is a
prestigious achievement for NavTrak that we are confident will lead to further
business in this area.



People



As the Group reaches this exciting stage of its development the Board would like
to thank everyone in the UK and Israel for their continued hard work and
commitment. We are particularly pleased at the integration of the software
development teams in the UK and Israel and the knowledge that is now flowing
between us, enabling them to further improve our technology. The NavTrak team
have put in an outstanding performance culminating in successfully integrating
NavTrak onto the production line at Ferrari and Maserati.



Current Trading and Prospects



The Board believes that the company is now entering an exciting and high growth
period. The front end investment of the past few years and management's ability
to control costs during this period have resulted in a business that is more
than capable of becoming a leading global player in the traffic information
market. The approach of careful cost control with consistent increases in
revenues should lead to a profitable and well capitalised company.

Watch out for TFC they appear to be nicking the initiative - see press report

From the FT.

Mr Marks said Estimotion would turn the company into a global force.

"Wherever there is a cellphone network, our software can sit on top and transform information into traffic flow predictions."

THREE THINK ITIS WILL FIND WAY

"ITIS holdings (ITH:AIM) has never made a profit and has never paid a dividend. Despite that several directors led by non-executive chairman Sir Trevor Chinn, have bought shares.

Chinn bought 150,000 at an average of 26p, as did another non-exec John Hewett. Steve Norris, the beleaguered chairman of Jarvis (JRVS), bought 100,000 at 28p

ITIS provides traffic information for it's 60,000 customers through RDS-TMC. Its satellite navigation systems alert customers to traffic jams.

As British roads become more congested satellite navigation will probably become more popular. Indeed, car manufacturers supply equipment as standard on certain models. ITIS has done 17b deals covering manufacturers such as BMW, Saab, Saburu and Toyota.

Apart from these models the company has contracts with both the Maryland Department of Transportation and Flanders government. Although neither contract is huge this international validation of the technology should be helpful in the medium term.

Despite the loss making record, the tenor of announcements from the company has become more optimistic. The interim statement said the group should break even in the second half. House broker Altium Securities is forecasting a maiden profit of 1.9 million in 2005/06 (earnings of 1.8p).

Steve Norris has not always backed a winner, but hopefully he has on this occasion. The faith of three directors should act as a good navigation aid for investors."



Also from Shares mag

"Road traffic information provider ITIS appears to be going from strength to strength. The group has landed several new contracts with the likes of Renault, Nissan and Vauxhall to deliver traffic information through vehicle navigation systems and saw turnover jump by 46% in the first half. Trading in the second half remains strong and the group expects the business to break even during this period.

Its Estimotion acquisition has been highly successful as demand increases for traffic flow information. Cash flow is set to improve and the group has 5.5 million in cash.

Shares says; This field looks set to expand rapidly and ITIS is well placed to take advantage."

Estimotion will be deployed all round the world with attractive licensing agreements deterring patent infringements. This is going to be a good ride.

Is this a worthwhile investment please help!!!

If the technology is as good as the company says it is and enough third parties take up the technology it's a 10-bagger IMHO!

ITH is now supplying RDS-TMC technology to most of the motor industry in the UK with Europe next in its sights. Estimotion is being deployed world wide.

ITH have always been confident of delivering what they call 'Global Glory' to share holders and in recent months they haven't disappointed with Estimotion being deployed in the US, Australia and Europe. The technology is a new innovative way of gathering data and many more deployments are set to follow. No foreign offices are needed, deployment is quick and cheap and very appealing to budget conscious Government Transport Departments. Of particular interest is ITH have set in place a contract a major US mobil phone operator so more US cities are targeted.

Shares say, "The industry looks set to expand rapidly and ITIS are well placed to take advantage"

The company has always delivered and if Estimotion does the same a price target of somewhere reaching close to 1 over the next year is not unreasonable.

IMO this company has struck gold with Estimotion!!

DYOR.

With almost every European govt now looking seriously at congestion issues thisseems to be an extremley interesting niche

I am already well into profit on this one and am not selling a single share!
