Directors Buying:
Over 4 Millions share were bought by directors during this month

For all this motives the shares at 1.15p are worth taking some aboard

lectricity Metering Networks
Electricity utilities and meter manufacturers are investigating ways of introducing Advanced Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to their businesses.

These technologies can significantly improve the information made available to energy service providers, including detailed energy usage profiles, diagnostic and status data from metering devices, and instantaneous usage from industrial and domestic consumers. This in turn helps to reduce the cost of taking readings, and prevent financial loss due to the fraudulent use of supplies. Load balancing can also be improved when information on instantaneous usage is provided. In addition consumers can benefit from improved information on their energy usage patterns by making better use of off-peak tariffs.

Cyan offers wireless Point-to-Point (P2P) and Meshing solutions for electricity AMR/AMI. Cyan's P2P solution use its ISM frequency band RF nodes (433/470/868/915/865 MHz). These allow a handheld meter reading device to directly communicate with each meter. Cyans meshing solution uses the same RF nodes to connect meters to a GPRS Gateway. A CyNet mesh network is formed around the gateway, which can be used to collate energy profiles, receive instantaneous readings, and send tariff updates to the meter. Cyan's GPRS Gateways can automatically monitor the mesh network and collect meter readings. Each GRPS Gateway has a RF node to connect to the local mesh network and GPRS modem for remote collection and monitoring from the backhaul system

Gas Metering Networks
A rise in energy prices and increasing focus on environmental issues has led to the demand for energy efficiency. As a result governments are legislating for the provision of Automated Meter Reading with a long term plan to move to fully Automated Metering Infrastructure

Cyan offers a wireless gas meter network solution that enables city wide deployment of wireless gas meters. The network uses Cyan's Cy-Net low power mesh network over ISM band (433/470/868/915/865 MHz). Each gas meter becomes an RF node on the network communicating with other RF nodes as well as mains powered concentrator gateways. The concentrators, Cyan's GPRS Gateways, automatically monitor the mesh network and collect readings from the meters.

Each GRPS Gateway has a RF node to connect to the local mesh network as well as GPRS for backhaul to remote central collection and monitoring system.

Industrial
Cyan's range of gateways and radio nodes can be used in a wide variety of monitoring and control applications. The RF nodes have on board resources such as Analogue to Digital converters with 12-bit resolution, digital inputs and outputs, timers and counters.

These can be used with external circuitry to sense conditions such as temperature, humidity, and movement. The combination of these resources, the Cy-Net radio mesh, and GPRS gateway can then be used to report telemetry to a central point, and/or send control signals to each remote node.

Street and Tunnel Lighting
With the rise of energy pricing and new regulation, operators of public lighting systems are driven to reduce operating costs. These reductions can be achieved by remotely controlling each lamp and managing its brightness according to need and by decreasing maintenance requirements by detecting faults remotely.

Cyan's technologies and products provide a complete control and communications network and user interface to lighting manufacturers. This complete system solution allows lighting manufacturers to manufacture and sell RF controlled street and tunnel lighting systems.

re - There is already a thread Master....

If that you call it a thread, then all yours, the only thing on the TOP thread is the copy of a link with no link conection.

To open a thread I expect the person to do some research and posted what has been found out, with charts and extrast, nothing of that over there.

I whoud rather prefer you said thank you instead for the new one.

Thank you--much better. I've hels this for a while due to the blockbuster potential--it's still a risk but nice to see director buys and increasing interest. one for you to look at tabby.

Why don't I start a third thread.....are you going to start a new thread everytime it gets interesting : and what have you put on ? no more than what we know already, I'll go back to the old one, thanks...

Large spread 1.00 / 1.20p, but the real prices paid are much smalller 1.06 / 1.14p

A good 400K buy after the bell

There has been a seller recently it could be Tosca fund or Helium. But none holds many shares to clear, so that is why I bought some last week, as the share price was moving higher.

From RNS 16/06/10:

"As the year progresses I am confident that Cyan will make further announcements of initial and repeat volume orders in lighting and metering markets around the
world."


Next update from the company is due in September

From the "UPS" thread ..........

UPS
CYAN 0.825 ( 0.80 / 0.85p

Bouncing from last Friday Low and MMs are moving UP prices fast.
Positive candlestick closing last Friday HAMMER (bullish reversal) on a good Fibonacci retracement

money am charts not working propperly ( nothing new)

   

not much movement on the share price, but at the end of the day the Large trades came in an it was one of the largest volume on a rising share price.

Lets see what it comes tomorrow, as rising with volume it suppose to be bullish.

Looks an interesting punt to me.... large orders on the books - strong potential!!!!!!!!

two way trading today but the large buys are taking over last one of 1,35M

positive Level 2 on 2 v 1

spread 0.82 / 0.85p

next offer at 0.95p

"large orders on the books"

Where ?

Offer has gone up to 0.90p

maybe a delayed trade as there is none showing around that time 14.56pm time that XCAP went UP

A post by "sturoym6" ( with compliments ) from another place, saying it could be right for CYAN business some councils reducing street lighting.............


BBC Breakfast had an article this morning on councils reducing street light operating times to reduce energy costs. This appears to be right up Cyan's street and, if they can get into that market, a nice little earner.

True, street lights do have timers, although many of them operate lights in quite large batches. The point with the Cyan lighting system, as described on the company site, is that their system provides considerable flexibility to adust individual lights easily, rather than having to go around and manually adjust timers in the street.
Using this flexibility one could, for example, arrange for alternate lights to be switched "off" and reduce energy costs by 50% and yet be able to return to full lighting easily if the situation in the field changes: inclement weather, road accident, special event in the area or even just different street usage on different day of the week.
In this way concerns about road safety being compromised as a result of reduced lighting levels, or more particularly with lighting being switched of all together, could be addressed. I am not a lighting expert but the Cyan system looks to me as if it could be useful to councils in balancing costs and safety considerations. Are there any CIBS members who read this board who might comment with more authority?

0.85 / 0.90p +0.05p

large trades during the last hour, so moving higher at both sides

The level 2 is bullish now as there is 3 MMs on the bid for 1 at offer, still the same price as on last Friday close.

0.90 - 0.95p +0.05p

is now on the move up after large volume yesterday and again today so far

I'm expecting a push to 2p on further orders....

Thats a good one RF !

"further orders"

lol

How can you write that on a bb ?

?...more orders for chips.....you know chips...fish and you get chips...or stake and you get chips or gamble and you get chips...more chips...orders...

Check out all the recent Rns's and there's no orders.

Plenty of placings though :-))

I think the word "further" is very misleading dont you think ?

Check out the rns of the 16th june 2010....not so long ago, 10000 chips for India...dyor...

Apologies, i missed that amongst all the meaningless rns's !

Still it's hardly a ripple is it.

It's a start and this could be a tremendous recovery story at the start....what were you saying about tips before the surge ?...well this could be it....if an order for say : 50000 chips or more comes along : 1.5p minimum....

So what kind of margins are there on these potential orders ?

Not a clue.....but this company has been going for some time now.....and from what I know...the orders could flood in...I'm gambling on the potential for recovery....

One million buy just gone through......just the sort of stock EK might tuck into.....

So it is a pump and dump then !

lol

Got to give you credit you are pretty good at it !

re - One million buy just gone through

The trade is a delayed trade @ 11.04am and goes with the MM ( SCAP) move UP @ 11.05am to make 2 MMs at bid for 1 at offer

News should be coming soon.....more orders will send this higher....

Up again...oh ! sorry...was it something I said...above 1p now....

RF.

What's your username on advfn ?

Never been on......I have one from donkey's years ago but I have never posted or even logged on....

ok.

I've done some research myself, shame you dont bother and just seem to post
anything you like.

They are burning a lot of cash, there's regular placings hence the dilution has
been great, they are always bullish but orders are thin on the ground and it
will take more than a 50k chip order before they break even, dont think the
market cap has been adjusted for the recent placing so they are valued even
higher than the current 6 mil, i cannot see the value, i think it's purely because
it's a decimal share that it gets the excitement, get rick quick punters love to
push these for fast gains so long as you are in first.

Personally, I wouldn't touch any compnay Barry Muncaster was involved with, even if it was a few years ago.

I personally do not take any notice of the 2 B@stard ( STALKERS ) and better if others do the same.

any how is moving higher at 14.06pm after their loose comments

now 2 at bid for 1 at offer ( spread 0.95 / 1.05p )

Has improved again the level 2 with 3 MMs at bid now, still 1 at offer

plenty of volume now over 7 million at the LSE, plus the Plus Market

Signs of wanting to move higher again after the retracemnet ( profit taking ) of the last couple days

Result of General Meeting

The Board of Cyan is pleased to announce that at the Company's General Meeting held earlier today all of the resolutions were duly passed, including the approval of the placing of 257,333,333 new ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each at 0.75 pence per share to raise approximately 1.8 million after expenses (the "Placing").

Full details of the Placing were set out in a circular sent to shareholders on 1 September 2010 (the "Circular"). Application has been made for a total of 257,333,333 new ordinary shares issued pursuant to the Placing to be admitted to trading on AIM. Admission and dealing is expected to occur at 8.00 a.m. on 17 September 2010.

In addition, the Company announces that application has been made for admission to trading on AIM in respect of a block listing of 10,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.2p each (the "Block Listing Shares"). As referred to in the Circular, in the interests of retaining cash within the Company, certain Directors will use a determined portion of their income from the Company to purchase newly issued ordinary shares in the Company on a monthly basis on the first day of each month. The number of Block Listing Shares to be issued each month will be determined by the closing mid-market share price of ordinary shares in the Company on the trading day immediately prior to the issue of the Block Listing Shares. The Block Listing Shares may also be used to settle cash sums due by the Company for other purposes. On issue, the Block Listing Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in issue.

Following the admission of the Placing Shares and the Block Listing Shares on 17 September 2010 the Company's total issued share capital will be 922,115,992 ordinary shares of 0.2p each. This figure (922,115,992 ordinary shares) may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

From the "UPS" thread ......

KEEP an EYE

CYAN 0.96p ( 0.92 / 1.00 )
large volume and moving higher, two large trades showing on the ticker, could be an overhang being cleared.

Thanks for the BBC Article (Cyan also host similar descriptors), but I fear this is tackling the issue from the wrong end.
(((similar thoughts go to Torotrak)))
Let's face it, UK Councils can't repair roads (via contractor), so little chance they'll install new fangled lighting networks. It might be possible in a new street, for the usual "GreenWash" reasons, but this will be farmed off to a supplier and b***r the cost (esp. since taxpayers/Regional-Government will foot the Bill).

Historically most street lights had a timer (1-per) this contained a clockwork mechanism so "time" wasn't lost if the power went off. Modern ones will be electronic (with a rechargable battery).. However, in addition some have photocells (a circular "spike" on the top can be seen...this switches on if it gets dark - and prevents waaste when it gets light, early morning. I expect this is connected to the timer so as to provide local savings depending on the weather.
There was a system that is probably extinct now, whereby pulses were fed into the Grid and this could control street lights...but it was a "blunt instrument" with many possibilities for failure. Also many folk don't like pulses being fed into their houses, since the pulses go everywhere.....it's difficult to stop.
((IMHO it is this issue (and tech, too), that prevents meters being read by"readinig" the power-line.
Inter rivalry also kills off the notion that Water/Gas/Electric co's share the same network....so, don't even suggest it!))
I think the situation with CYAN's controller is somewhat similar - there is no-one that can impliment the technology, gain Approval of both the light-fitting industry AND the local authorities (as well as the local supply company)....because they have vested interests in leaving things as they are. Also there is considerable risk, since only a start-up Co would enter this niche market. Sure the likes of Siemens could but they'd want to use their own controllers (not Cyan's) and use the techniques alread in use on the Continent.
Individual local authorities would never see the benefit of this technology and "who would run it?" - it would need electronics folk that understood the system - which means they are very powerful, being few in number.
I suspect also that the unit cost (per lamp) will be high and, using current technology, the brightness on the road will be somewhat less than traditional luminaries. It's the same argument as switching off (some) lights after midnight - the few accidents/robberies feature large in the Public-mind.

I don't hold CYAN, I'd like to; but each time I look it's just too much of a yes/no risk issue. They may be taken-over for their contacts/database, but there are plenty of other fabless outfits that can provide similar tech and who are much more likely to be in business in 2020. For the reasons suggested CYAN meter-reading prospects are somewhat similar, but what do I know ? - ( er, well I've not lost any money on this faller to date).
Now, if there was a Act of Parliament...then there might be a feeding frenzy as Large Players try to edge out Cyan, whatever their technical expertise...etc.

As a "mad-man"
I'd suggest they install this on trunk roads, so the lighting can be adjusted to suit the traffic demand, dangerous junctions, road conditions (rain/snow/ice). This might justify the marginal cost on safety grounds - and the "savings" would be over a considerable time - pretty much the same as the new road is justified. The potential to install in tunnels is valid - but it's a tiny market and savings are unlikely to be much, unless the tunnel isn't in use for hours at a time; but such tunnels don't exist.
er IMHO. However, CYAN needs a partner, for they don't have the necessary "power" expertise and installers. . . . Invensys anyone...?
Good luck to all who sail in her.

Nice one about to take off!!!!!!!!111

On the move up since

2 directors buying 5,500,000 million shares between them last Friday.


01 October 2010
The Company announces that it has entered into agreements with each of its
directors to issue them with ordinary shares of 0.2 pence each ("Ordinary
Shares"). Further to the Company's circular dated 1 September 2010 and the
announcement referring to the block listing on 16 September 2010, the Company
confirms that it has issued 556,690 Ordinary Shares to Kenn Lamb and 310,444
Ordinary Shares to John Read at a price of 0.9p each. John Read and Simon Smith
have also today subscribed for 2,777,777 Ordinary Shares and 2,777,778 Ordinary
Shares respectively at a price of 0.9p each.

Starting to climb...so you can imagine with some orders what the sp could do.....and with directors buying, you can be sure that there are plenty in the pipeline needing confirmation....

Its a winner - a multibagger

this has been the dog of my portfolio for many years have they actually got any orders ?? no idea how they keep raising money to keep afloat still got about 100k of these be nice to get 2-3p for them one day

Its a winner today and yesterday

Are directors buying or taking instead of a salary as cash is tight ?
The clue is in the issuing of shares rather than the buying of shares

The directors have bought shares and are also taking shares in lieu. It's a very risky buy but I hold some as they must have great faith in their product and it's now very much in their interest to get the sp rising steadily. They are in the right markets and the rumours are that orders are about to come in from the cos who have been trialling the product maybe an Indian order. One good contract signed could be start of a transformation and I think that's why the directors are putting everything into keeping the co afloat! risky but promising --research well!!

A good contract would double the sp.

An initial order...the first of many I suppose....good start....

looks like slipped into the dog mode again ....

It's been a dog since it was floated by Barry Muncaster, aka MDX and a few others.

Dir. purchases below 50k, IMHO say Stay-away....this recent purchase was 5k - DYOR
ptholden are you 1)likening MDX--CYAN - or is/was there 2)shared Direcorship?
(FWIW I was always suspicious of MDX, couldn't sell their film during BSE-crisis)
I'll agree CYAN goes Woof! -but it's still here, and whilst the Co is always "hoping" I don't believe they've shouted excessivly, thereby raising punters' hopes.....this co is dependent upon this "meter-reading" being rolled out....such things are dreams of energy-execs (since 1970's) but it's always been too expensive. Now we have proved that Gogl can get data by driving-by, so it's possible for "New meter-man" to drive by -OR- use the phone network text-msg facility.... this infrastructure is here...all that's needed is the willingness (and meter investment)
That's the stumbling block, IMHO =- in these times will the Public accept a hike (so power-Co's can make more profit?), to pay for the new kit?.
I doubt it, so there is still a Wall of Issues - and this Co is pretty quiet about the roll-out.....or, did I miss the Big Push?

If I did, then so did Dirs...otherwise, why not put in 50k at these low-levels...?

Hangon

Muncaster has either floated or been involved in the flotation of a quite few AIM comps, I don't think any of them have survived to provide the longer term investor a return; in fact entirely the opposite, CYAN is about the only one still listed. Anyone who got into this pile of dog poo at flotation will have lost the majority of their cash.

Could be a star of 2011.....I'm expecting a lot more orders like that....

That is what they need orders and then more orders with good margins .......


Cyan wins China public lighting control order

Cyan has won an initial order for wireless monitoring and control of outdoor public lighting in China.

The initial order is for 10,000 modules, and installation will start after the Chinese New Year in Q1 2011.

The customer's initial project requires the replacement of 200,000 street lights in a single city and the installation rate is expected to exceed 10,000 units per month by Q4 2011.

The end customer is a large established Chinese lighting manufacturer which says it has already won, or expects to win, contracts in three further cities, albeit for smaller projects.

China cracked also India--the potential here is obviously massive imo. I held on here hoping the co would survive, the bod put money in and took shares in lieu so backed their technology----looks as though it's soon to pay off! next year a good one I hope. DYOR!

china cracked ????? and Q4 of 2011 before any 'real' sales I've been with this sometime and its always failed to deliver

Probably took shares MP because there wasn't any money to take!

so whats driving the 20% rise today ???

Insider OR Hot air I suspect, no RNS and Dir buying (ie Cash) 7k early Dec2010......hardly a vote of confidence.
This is a sickly puppy tied to an old gas meter, badly needs a walk, which is what retail shareholders should have done years ago.
Any remote meter-reading will take years to roll-out and it's only the meter-maker that may make some dough, not this tiny chipper - all IMHO. If it came to it, there are plenty of Si chip designers that can manage similar projects and I suspect the roll-out would go to competitive tender - why would any Energy Authority let CYAN name their price?.
Does anyone serioously think China/India can't make meter-reading chips?

It would be nice to see some Brit. success; but as always Co's are left to fight solo until the cash runs out. . . . . will we never invest in ourselves?
Oh yessir, plenty of money for Olympics, for a hanfull of medals and then sell-off the stadium to friends - where is the mass-employment future in that?

Moving into a BREAKOUT from recent attemps to go over 1.15p

1.55p +0.30p or 24%

BREAK OUT well ahead with volume buying

The break out is doing wonders for the share price, one of the top risers of the day

Damn...I sold out the other day.....rocketing now.....

"Cyan"
Signature of Memorandum of Understanding and Trading Update

Cyan (AIM:CYAN), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to implement a partnership with a large manufacturing company in India that has developed a sophisticated web based city lighting control system for a contract to replace 375,000 streetlights in one city. The partnership agreement gives the customer access to Cyan server control technology on condition of use of Cyan lighting control products and the active marketing of the combined solution to other cities. An initial order for 1,000 units has been received to set up a demonstration facility of the combined lighting control system.

The Company is also pleased to provide the following trading update for the year ended 31 December 2010.In the second half of 2010 Cyan, announced orders for tens of thousands of street lighting controllers, each for initial projects with future requirements for hundreds of thousands of units. These orders and customers represent a small proportion of Cyan's current active lighting-customer engagements, which in turn represents a fraction of the emerging global street light replacement market.

During 2010, Cyan shipped tens of thousands of units to wireless utility metering customers around the world. Most of these units were installed into large-scale trials. In the second half of 2010 a number of customers indicated to the Company that they were bidding for tenders of substantial quantity, and already in 2011 Cyan is aware of two new tenders for in excess of one million units.

Cyan has developed technology and products that deliver cost effective ready-to-deploy solutions. These allow established lighting and utility metering manufacturers to easily enhance their products to support remotely managed wireless networks of street-lights or utility-meters. There is substantial growing global demand for such wireless management networks and in recent years Cyan has made significant investment and has gained extensive expertise in designing, manufacturing and deploying such networks.

Cyan has evolved from developing and supplying just the wireless communication components, to providing complete system solutions, so much so that the Company is now better described as an integrated system design company.

As such Cyan has attracted the attention of major organizations in different countries, including government departments that are tasked to specify the next generation of wireless utility metering for their countries. One such organization, as part of a technology and supplier evaluation program, has recently informed Cyan that its current gas metering products have 'solid technology that already meets 99% of their requirement'. The Directors of Cyan are optimistic that they will soon be able to announce that the conclusion to this program has been the selection of Cyan as the partner for the next five to ten years, which could establish Cyan as the dominant wireless gas meter AMR technology supplier in that country.

In another region, Cyan has recently succeeded in initiating a program of engagement directly with a number of utility companies and influential government departments, who propose to define the requirements for their next generation wireless electricity meters. Cyan is supported by a number of established meter manufacturers who have already adopted and incorporated Cyan products into their own wireless electricity meters, and wish to see Cyan's mesh technology incorporated into any new national standard.

At the start of 2010 Cyan was well positioned with a number of lighting and utility meter manufacturers in multiple countries. At the beginning of 2011 Cyan's position has been considerably strengthened with a number of leading organisations that either specify or influence the choice of wireless lighting and utility metering technology. This is in part the result of becoming a fully integrated system design business and the efforts and increased reputation of the Company within these regions.

Outlook

The recent years of research and development have put Cyan at the forefront of wireless mesh networking technology for street-lighting control and utility metering, and the Directors are delighted with the progress the Company has made and in particular over the past six months. With our recently strengthened balance sheet, we are very confident for the outlook of the business during 2011 and beyond and look forward to reporting further progress to shareholders in due course.

As part of today's agreement, Cyan has received an initial order for 10,000 units of CyLux, which the Company understands will be installed in a new vapour sealed HID lighting product to be used on gas and oil installations in India and the Middle East.

In addition, Cyan has received the first order for a CyLux installation in Europe. LED lighting, monitored and controlled by CyLux wireless lighting control systems, is to be installed into a road tunnel in Italy.

CyLux is suitable for new lighting installations or can be retrofitted to existing systems. Indeed, through two of Cyan's partner companies, CyLux modules are being installed into ballasts for HID and HPS lights as well as drivers for LED lights. This eases the adoption of CyLux monitoring and control for lighting manufacturers as they can now simply install 'Cyan-Inside' ballasts or drivers to make CyLux enabled lighting products. The Company believes this factor will lead to a rapid rise in CyLux shipments.

Kenn Lamb,CEO, Cyan commented:

"These customers are installing our products within early stage projects and we expect high levels of follow on orders as their projects unfold. Initial orders, therefore, represent a small fraction of the much larger opportunity with each new customer".

"Today's announcement is significant in that it is taking us into new world markets beyond our existing reach as a business; principally Asia. It is pleasing to see our hard work leading to expansion into other geographical regions, which could well be the turning point for the Company".

It is good to see one of my little acorns starting to flourish. I hope the sp will be many multiples of today in a couple more years.

This is still a jam tommorrow story never seem to get beyond an initial order !!!

Appointment of Joint Broker

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:Cyan.L), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, is pleased to announce the appointment of XCAP Securities plc as Joint Broker, with immediate effect.

Kenn Lamb, CEO, Cyan commented:

"We are delighted to be welcoming XCAP to our existing team of professional advisers, as we look to capitalise on Cyan's strategic positioning and past investment in our technology."

AGM Statement.

At today's AGM of Cyan (AIM:CYAN), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, Kenn Lamb, CEO made the following statement:

"The progress that we reported at the time of our preliminary results on 28th March continues unabated. The upswing in order enquiries continues and we now see substantial momentum in our lighting control business.

"Accordingly, we remain convinced that this year will be the major turning point following two years of trials and product development by the Company. Since March we have announced another initial order for 10,000 units of CyLux taking the company into lighting on gas and oil installations in India and the Middle East.CyLux, our wireless lighting control system is proving popular and easy to integrate into a wide range of lights.

"In addition, the Company received the first order for a CyLux installation in Europe, where CyLux controlled LED lighting is to be installed into a road tunnel in Italy.

"In common with prior lighting order announcements these represent initial orders for initial projects with the expectation of follow on orders to satisfy the total requirement of the initial project as well and new projects from these customers. Initial orders, therefore, represent a small fraction of the much larger opportunity with each new customer.

"Cyan now has an established foothold in lighting control markets where energy saving is a powerful market driver and ROI periods are short. The board looks forward to the year ahead with confidence."

Order Update: China Public Lighting Control

Cyan Holdings Plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry announces that it has received a follow on order from a previously announced Chinese Lighting customer.

This follow on order is for a further 12,000 modules, for a project which has now grown to over 220,000 units in a single city. Including this order Cyan has received orders for 24,000 units to date from this customer for this project and Cyan expects to receive orders to fulfil it.

The Board of Cyan understands that since the initial order, this customer has been actively marketing their HID lighting solution incorporating Cyan's technology and has three further cities poised to order their product. This follow-on order will be installed in a suburb of the city for which the first order was made before the end of Q3, in order to demonstrate a single installation of greater than 10,000 lights and also to demonstrate a new maintenance feature implemented by Cyan. This additional software feature will signal the location and type of any light failure and provide a list of required maintenance calls each morning. Cyan understands that this demonstration of a 10,000 light installation is a prerequisite for orders from these three cities. Cyan believes that it is reasonable to assume that new cities will have comparable requirements.

Since the original order this customer's product has received authorization and endorsement from multiple Chinese agencies. Additionally Cyan has been informed that in July this customer expects to be allocated further cities under a government sponsored and investment funded energy management contract (Emc). The Board understands that the potential contract could require replacement levels in excess of five million of units over a three year period.

Kenn Lamb, CEO of Cyan Holdings plc commented:

"I am delighted to announce this follow on order. We have been working with this customer on their initial installations and have developed a hand held unit that will accelerate deployment, but even without this the customer is on track to achieve their target installation rate of 10,000 units per month in this first city. We can see that a further three cities are likely to place orders early in Q4, but it is the breaking news of the imminent release of government funds for EMC contracts that will transform the size of the market for this customer and for Cyan lighting control products. The potential requirement for millions of units in over three years is consistent with our understanding of the size of the lighting market in China and could be transformational in the Company's growth. This is one of a number of active lighting customers in China and India, which together promise to deliver significant revenue growth. I am pleased to announce that first half 2011 revenues will exceed revenues for the whole of 2010 despite this being only the very beginnings of the expected revenue growth curve."

Nice candle with volume.

Trading Update for the First Half of 2011

Cyan (AIM:CYAN), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry, is pleased to provide the following trading update for the six months ended 30 June 2011.

In the first half of 2011 revenues significantly exceeded revenues for the whole of 2010.

Additionally, Cyan has received a new order for 50,000 units of a legacy product increasing a substantial order backlog. Assuming this backlog of orders, accumulated during the first half of 2011, is delivered within the current financial year, the revenues generated in the second half of this year are likely to be double that shown in the first half and in excess of the total revenues shown in 2009 and 2010 combined.

Kenn Lamb CEO of Cyan Holdings commented:

"I am delighted to be able to report such strong growth in the first half despite the seasonal effects of reduced first quarter trading in China. The revenues and backlog halfway through the year represent the tip of the anticipated growth curve and we expect bookings in the second half to be stronger than those in the first half.

"The backlog represents only the initial orders for initial projects of existing customers, who prefer to place regular orders that match the rate of installation and not a single order for the total opportunity. Whilst we are targeting orders from new customers during the second half of 2011, additionally, we expect significant repeat orders for initial projects from existing customers, as well as new orders from existing customers for new projects. Added to this we expect to enjoy a run of orders from a pipeline of new customers.

"These factors should support a faster rate of growth in the second half than we have experienced during the first half of 2011."

Interim Results.

Highlights


Turnover of 220,277 was up significantly on H1 2010 (H1 2010: 66,207).

Strategic Agreement with Shanghai Yaming Lighting Company

Cyan Holdings Plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry announces that it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Shanghai Yaming Lighting Co., Ltd 'Yaming'.

Yaming is a well respected and long established lighting company that claims to be the largest manufacturer of Street Lighting sold in China. Established in 1923, Yaming has 87 years of experience in lighting development and has several subsidiary companies and operates as part of several joint ventures.

A new Yaming Emc (Energy Management Contract) company has been seeking a wireless control partner for its HPS (High Pressure Sodium) and HID (High Intensity Discharge) and LED Lighting Products. Cyan has been chosen by Yaming to be that partner.

Yaming's long history, the size of the company and its reputation for quality puts Yaming in a strong position to win future EMC lighting contracts across China, and Cyan is delighted that Yaming has selected Cyan's CyLux lighting control technology.

Yaming has already purchased a number of CyLux controllers that have been installed in Yaming lights for a pilot installation used to demonstrate the working product to municipality officials. Other controllers have been purchased so that the entire assembly can be put through accelerated life tests and meet Yaming quality standards. These products are scheduled to commence production shipments in February 2012.

Cyan has signed an agreement to co-operate in the addition of further customer requested features into the Cyan lighting management system and to modify the graphics to feature Yaming Branding.

Kenn Lamb, CEO of Cyan Holdings Plc commented:

"We have worked hard for some time to secure this strategic partnership, as we believe that it positions us well for future growth in the Chinese street lighting market. Yaming is likely to be awarded a significant portion of future EMC's and, as such, we look forward to Yaming winning large contracts for its wireless lighting control product. Yaming's selection of Cyan is expected to have a positive influence on other companies seeking a wireless lighting control solution."

Substantial Developments in the Indian Smart Metering Electricity Market

Leading Supplier Status for Indian Market

New Tender for 1.5M Units Released

Short Term 200K Unit Opportunity

Mind the gap - now +44%.

INDIAN SUMMER FOR CYAN

Cyan Holdings, which provides wireless solutions for lighting control and other sectors, has been confirmed as a leading supplier of a smart metering solution for the Indian market.
The Cambridge UK business was the only company at the Smart Energy Conference in Delhi to demonstrate a live metering installation that conformed to the specifications as published by India's Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
The CEA is an attached office of the Ministry of Power, which set up a committee to finalise the specification of single-phase electricity meters for India's advanced metering infrastructure and has published a report which refers to a 200 million meter requirement in India.
The committee to which Cyan demonstrated at the show comprised representatives from electricity utilities, meter manufacturers, component manufacturers and India's standards bodies.

This may be good news, but CYAN needs to come home and show it has a grip on matters nearer to home.
The issue in India isn't reading meters . . . they have millions who can do this - it's paying for the infrastructure and finding enough souls to pay for it (and the Electric). I don't think the meter-market is that bouyant, although the Elec-Bosses think of nothing else.

Nearer to home CYAN is a serial disappointer, having a technology that they cannot sell in sufficient volume to repay all that research cost. It might be brilliant stuff, but to make money you have to sell it on.
Sadly this is a common issue with BritUK co's, .....yet, they jet-about trying to sell their wares....

hangon - unfortunately that is largely true - lets see if history repeats itself.

There is also the Chinese market which is huge......the market cap is tiny and this company could be worth about 50 million soon....at the present time just 7 million...: room for the sp to climb a few pennies perhaps ?....

Cyan Technology and Wipro enter into an Alliance to help Indian Utility customers implement Advanced Metering Infrastructure

Cyan Holdings Plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for lighting control, utility metering and industrial telemetry announces an alliance with Wipro Technologies, the global Information Technology, Consulting and Outsourcing business of Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT). Wipro will provide Consulting and IT Services to power utility companies in India deploying wireless meters incorporating CyLec(TM) , Cyan Technology's wireless communication solution for electricity metering. Cyan Technology is an integrated system design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and has become a recognised player in the Indian utility sector.

The alliance with Wipro forms the core of Cyan Technology's approach to building strategic partnerships with key players in India to become a major player in the fast growing Indian electricity metering market. The alliance brings together Wipro's strong track record of success in the energy and utilities space and Cyan's world-class CyLec(TM) solution to provide Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) that offers seamless, robust, end to end wireless communication right from the customer's meter all the way to the utilities' internal IT systems and applications.

Indian utilities can now benefit from the advanced features provided by CyLec(TM) and Wipro's extensive capabilities in the Utilities sector to address the need for immediate and automatic detection of tampering, enable load balancing through remote connect and disconnect, provide live monitoring of energy usage and forecast of energy requirements. Besides, Indian utilities are suffering staggeringly high aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses at 28.4% and they are very keen to adopt solutions that help them reduce these losses that result in lost revenues.

Faced with oncoming challenges such as efficient grid integration of renewable sources for the Indian smart grid, Indian utilities are keen to implement AMI as part of their distribution infrastructure, with typical installations running into a few millions of wireless enabled meters.

"Wipro is a global leader in the Energy and Utilities sector with proven expertise in IT transformational programs and significant domain expertise in the 'Utilities space'." said Bijan Mohandes, Vice President - World Wide Sales and Marketing, Cyan Technology. "We believe that by partnering with Wipro, we can combine their service delivery expertise with Cyan's CyLec(TM) solution to deliver much sought-after benefits to Indian utilities."

For health reasons Kenn Lamb will stand down as CEO and as a board member of Cyan Holdings plc and all other Group companies from 5 January 2012 and will be employed as Chief Strategy Officer for Cyan Holdings plc and Cyan Technology Ltd from that date until 28 February 2013 when he will leave the Company.

The non-executive directors are currently considering the appropriate ongoing structure of the Board and further announcements will be made when appropriate.

Investec > 3%

perhaps the Directors could use this time to find out exactly what their story is so far, so private shareholders can fathom out why the sp always goes down.
I suspect it's a Gravity thing, maybe caused by using Heavy Silicon.

Am I right in thinking this is the only UK-based manufacturer* of silicon chips?

Grief, it's woeful when you think every appliance has at least one in it and cars probably twenty, or more. Each one an Import.

FWIW I discount any excitement in Chinese meter-reading - since China can make their own chips, probably better than we - and certainly a lot faster, so I'd expect any sales to China merely to accelerate the manufacture of copy-cat (or better) which will do Cyan no good at all.... it's like " ... pouring your IP down the drain...."
-ditto- India, S.America: although they "might" respect Patents better(& IP), how on earth can anyone Police it?


IMHO Cyan needs to satisfy a home-market first; to be close to its customer(s) so the product really satisfies real-world needs. Any company that finds it difficult in their "home market" is, IMHO, selling the Wrong Stuff.


* please don't let's get into discussion whether CYAN make the chips themselves
- Rolls Royce makes car, but they don't make the steel from ore.

No...PVCS is one...IQE...another....

Update on TNEB Tender

-- TNEB 1.5 million tender submission date extended to 20 February 2012
-- Expected to mean that the number of meters submitted which incorporate Cyan's CyLec technology will be higher than originally anticipated

-- Board will update investors when further information becomes available
Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system design company delivering wireless solutions for lighting control and utility metering today gives an update regarding the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) Automatic Meter Reading tender.

TNEB is one of the largest electricity distributors in India. In November, it published a tender for the supply of 1.5 million meters as part of its consumer network upgrade programme. This represents the first phase in what is anticipated to be a total upgrade programme of 18 million meters.

Cyan has received information that TNEB has agreed to extend the deadline for submission of samples to 20 February 2012, a further 10 day extension to the original closing date of 10 February 2012.

-- John Cronin appointed as non-executive director to Cyan Board and will take over from John Read as Executive Chairman at the Company's AGM in May

Dr John Read, Chairman of Cyan, commented:

"2011 was a strong year for relationship building and pilot demonstrations of Cyan products. We have secured strategic partnerships with majors in both of our key markets, China and India, and on both sides of our product range. These agreements are expected to result in significant orders for the company in due course.

"We have seen follow on orders from China's main Government authority on street lighting, now into the tens of thousands, with the opportunity for eventual orders to total many millions of units. This stands out amongst a number of smaller but nonetheless important orders.

"We are extremely well positioned to exploit significant opportunities in our target markets of metering and lighting in both India and China respectively. Similarly we have the right product range to be seen as the optimum choice in any bidding situation for which we put ourselves forward. The Board is therefore confident that 2012 will be Cyan's most successful year to date."

The sp doesn't reflect this great opportunity, IMHO and recent purchases by Dirs doesn't fill me with great confidence, when they risk less than the cost of a very secondhand car.
((Skinny, Post#103 - How do these purchases sit with that statement, I wonder.))

Furthermore the two areas they are most excited about, India and China - at least one of them is so far away this Co cannot control its sales/patent rights by any stretch of the imagination - If they get Royalties on 1m units we are supposed to become excited, whereas the XYZ Elec Co might be installing 100m - how would anyone know?

The sp has drifted down over the last few years and appears to continue on this path. Recent "Fundraising" doesn't inspire me - it says "Dilution" - and until they have a home-based product that account for (in excess of) half their income, I think it's "Bargepoles at dawn"

Any counter-views welcome . . .

EDIT (1May2012):- Recent Director Buys are well below my £50k "iinterest point" - Oh deary.
EDIT(22May2012)-re sp movement...looks like a "leak" just a day prior, eh? and that order isn't exceptional although it might stem annual losses, assuming they make a profit of a few coppers on each unit....still, in the right direction we can hope.
EDIT(22May2012)_Expert appointed...Huh! Shouldn't that have been leading their development? "Cart/horse" springs to mind...
EDIT (8Jn2012)- some excite here for 500 unit trial(more contenders using CYAN) - This is not big-news, 500 is nothing....it's Trial RESULTS - must be favourable. Jn15th sp drift 0p41

Kenn Lamb, former Chief Executive Officer

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:CYAN.L), deeply regrets to inform shareholders of the death of Kenn Lamb, who served the Company as Chief Executive from 2007 until 2011. He passed away peacefully at home, having bravely battled a long illness.

Kenn was instrumental in transitioning Cyan from a narrowly focused microchip controller manufacturer, to where it is today as a system supplier offering an integrated suite of software and hardware products for some of the fastest growing markets in the world.

He was at the helm during a testing period, given the onset of the global economic crisis, and it is testament to his abilities that he successfully guided the Company through these difficult times, when so many other businesses did not survive. Moreover, during this period the Company was strategically positioned in its target growth markets of China and India, with many key relationships built and secured.

Whilst his illness and subsequent retirement from the post of Chief Executive meant his involvement decreased significantly over the last 10 months, his experience and wisdom was keenly appreciated in discussions with the board and senior management.

John Read, Non-Executive Director said:

"I had the great pleasure of working alongside Kenn, in my time as Chairman of Cyan. He was an extremely impressive professional, a real gentleman and a good friend. We enjoyed working together and I shall miss him both professionally and personally. We offer our condolences to his family and our thoughts are with them at this sad time."

Be careful with this one guys,the company has had many many false dawns and
has been a stockmarket dog for a long time. They are also in need of huge fundraising
to advance all of their products and licences.

If they can get into revenue before increasing shares in issue above 5 billion it may
have a chance though in the future.

Proposed Placings and Notice of GM"

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control announces raising, subject to certain conditions, approximately £2.1 million before expenses, by way of two share placings ("Placings") pursuant to which 602,730,000 Ordinary Shares will be issued at 0.35 pence each. The Placings were managed by Cenkos Securities plc and XCAP Securities plc. as joint brokers to the Company. It is intended that the net proceeds from the Placings will be used for general working capital requirements, business development and other product development work as set out below. In addition Placees have been granted warrants ("Warrants") to subscribe for up to a further 301,365,000 Ordinary Shares at 0.5 pence per Ordinary Shares within twelve months of Admission. A General Meeting ("GM") will be held at 11.00 a.m. on 2 August 2012. A circular containing the notice of the GM (the "Circular") will be posted to all shareholders in the Company on Monday 16 July 2012 and will be available to view on the Company's website at: www.cyantechnology.com.

Oh dear just ten day after Directors buy a very modest amount of stock, the Co ann. a Placing at 0.35p - so when is a closed-period these days? I thought it was at least 3 months, but aparently not.

This is needed as "working Capital" - yet further diluting LT shareholders, who probably are clinging to 10%.
Furthermore there are Warants for half as many shares again, so presumably MM's will push the 0.5p price level, within a year. Pity it's not profits doing it, eh?

This new issue could be nearly 50% of the current no. of shares....that's more than slight dilutiuon . . . it saying Stay Away!. DYOR.

· Cyan informed that only two companies have passed CPRI testing, both of which are Cyan partners

· TNEB has invited remaining bidders to resubmit meters

· Two further Cyan partners have confirmed they will continue with pilot installation and resubmit CPRI testing

Another zillion shares coming to the market on the 6th, bringing the total to a squillion or so.

Might be time......to keep an eye on this as it has a tendency for some lovely spikes upon good news....

Seems to be a big problem on the trades as it is showing nothing but sells but in fact there are buys as well....

Attn Guys-
One of my well informed city friends told me this morning that he has been told that the directors of Cyan are flying out to India in two weeks time!-fingers crossed that we should be hearing some positive news as a result!!-

That's what I'm hoping for......could be a fivebagger on a big order !...

Some people will believe anything posted on a bulletin board - lol

Hi again guys-
Same source tells me that the company will be making RNS next week and the following week-keeping shareholders informed -lets hope it will be positive news!-

Update on TNEB tender

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control today gives further information regarding the timings of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) tender.

A number of Cyan partners have begun with the installation and commissioning of the 500 unit pilots at Trichy (Tiruchchirappalli), in the state of Tamil Nadu. The Cyan partners in question are confident that the installations are moving forward as planned and estimate that the pilots will be ready for inspection during September/early October.

TNEB are actively observing this phase of the tender process and on completion will review each pilot. At this stage, TNEB will test the technology to ensure it complies with the tender specification which includes interoperability of solution.

John Cronin, Executive Chairman of Cyan commented: "We are continuing to support our partners in the installation and commissioning of our CyLec® technology. This includes working with them on the ground in India as well as from Cambridge to ensure the pilots can be successfully demonstrated to TNEB."

Half Yearly Report

Highlights

· Turnover of £192,923 (H1 2011: £220,277)
· Successful fund raising of circa £1.9 million (net of expenses)
· Appointment of John Cronin as Executive Chairman at the 2012 AGM
· Significant position achieved in "potentially transformational" TNEB tender in India
· Largest order in Company's history (over US$1M) for CyLec® products in India
· Partnership with major Indian electrical and utilities supplier Larson and Toubro Limited ("L&T")

John Cronin, Executive Chairman, commented:

"Whilst shareholders will no doubt be somewhat disappointed with the H1 2012 revenue numbers, I want to confirm that we continue to take significant strides forwards towards achieving our aim of being the recognised leading provider of smart energy solutions for the utility and lighting sectors in emerging markets. During the first half of 2012, we have won orders in India and China and have strategic partnerships with major manufacturers in both territories. We are very well positioned in the TNEB tender, which is now approaching its final stages, and represents a potentially transformational turning point for the Company in terms of revenues and financial stability.

We would like to thank our shareholders for their continued strong support in what continue to be difficult market conditions in which to raise funding. We hope to be able to confirm that their patience has been rewarded before the end of 2012."

The BREAK OUT on the share price is back on after the positive RNS today ......


Cyan remains confident over TNEB tender

Cyan Holdings remains confident about its competitive position on the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board automatic meter reading tender.

The company says its four meter manufacturer partners have now completed the installation and commissioning of their pilots in Trichy (Tiruchchirappalli), in the state of Tamil Nadu.

The installations demonstrate Cyan's interoperable solution, CyLec.

Over the last week, Cyan personnel have actively participated in the first on-site evaluations with TNEB officials as well as attending a subsequent review meeting.

Cyan says it has been informed that of the 16 companies that formally submitted samples and bids on this tender, only six have deployed pilots and the Cyan partners are the ones offering an interoperable solution.

Cyan has also been informed that the next stage in the tender attribution process will be 'price bid opening'. This is where the sealed bids of the meter manufacturers who have deployed pilots will be opened in a meeting at TNEB in front of the participants and the selection of the meter manufacturers to fulfil the tender will start.

Cyan expects to start receiving the first orders for delivery of product as soon as this next step is completed.

Executive chairman John Cronin said: "We are pleased that CyLec has been successfully demonstrated to TNEB and remain confident of our competitive position on this tender.

"I look forward to providing Cyan's shareholders with a further update shortly."

At 8:48am: (LON:CYAN) share price was +0.04p at 0.58p Cyan remains confident over TNEB tender

Starting to rise here.....

Will it or won't it.,.
">

If Cyan get some orders : it opens up perhaps a floodgate of orders and this is just India......China and the rest of the world awaits.....this share has been disappointing in the past but something above 2p is a possibility with some decent orders and then who knows ? ....

And there in lies the rub!

Its always been a story of if only....

I do hold btw.

We shall know soon if they have, or are cracking the Indian market....

Are we getting ready for take off.up over 10%.

Yep !...steady rise....... and continued buying has helped lift the sp....

Good start !...

Really motoring now...goodo....

Be careful on this everyone it is being ramped across all sites at moment.

The company has been a well known dog for a long time and promising "big contracts"
are coming and they never do! while this is going on they have been forced to dilute
the share capital on a massive level to maintain themselves in business.To the point
now that even if they do actually win contracts they would have to be huge long
term contracts just to justify the current market cap. The chances of them ever
getting to a point of profitability and debt reduction are very slim indeed.Over time
lots of people have lost huge amounts on this share and it will happen again.

For insight on what will happen here please see link below.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBMNkVelerA

It is only a very small cap and if orders start from India ; it could snowball very quickly indeed.....a rise to beyond 2p is a distinct possibility ...if not more....look at Magnolia petroleum rising as well ; 3 times the market cap of this one with just chicken feed production....anyway CYAN is very...very..promising....

You must be kidding?
Revenue of £170k producing losses of £1.5m
1.3 billion shares in issue.
Only ramping will get this rubbish over 2p and on fundamentals it won't be warranted

are you talking about fogl??? lol rf likes that one too.,.

Not having a go at RF, but he's also put money on Cardiff FC this Saturday -):

it's what's coming with this one.....they have the technology for the meters of the future for the whole world....and the orders could run into hundreds of millions....what we need is India to give it it's first major order and then who knows....many orders from China and Southeast Asia and beyond should follow..

Nice start for this tech gem (...perhaps star).....zooming up...

Golden cross.

Soaring now......perhaps and I say perhaps...contracts imminent which in turn could trigger loads more.....3p is not impossible on good news...

RF - you may be right, but don't get too carried away - this has been a notorious 'jam tomorrow' story for a long while.

Too right Skinny...I have been caught out myself before....but this time they have contacts all over India and the far east which should generate serious future revenues..as usual it's risky...but huge upside.....

Talking about risk : have a look at NEW......risky,... but huge potential.....

Some good news...bit by bit this can come incredibly right...

Much more to come from Cyan....so much potential with probably the whole of South East Asia being interested once an initial order has been finalised....

CAMBRIDGE TECHNOLOGY DRIVES INDIAN SMART GRID

Technology from Cyan in Cambridge is driving a high profile smart grid project in a region dubbed as ‘The French Riviera of the East’ – India’s Puducherry on the Bay of Bengal.

The UK company specialises in mesh-based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control but its shares have been bumping along the bottom at 0.75p as it struggles for financial traction.

Cyan is banking on India’s pursuit of energy efficient systems to plug the revenue gap.
Executive chairman John Cronin revealed that one of Cyan’s partners was utilising its technology in the recently initiated smart grid project in Puducherry.

The project is being led by the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), a government of India enterprise. It involves installing an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solution in houses throughout Puducherry to support the electricity department’s objective to save power.

Shooting up......news imminent perhaps...hope it's good...

Up again...

I hear that TNEB are holding up proceedings for some reason and this would explain the drifting downwards of the share price over the past 10 days or so-also i hear that John Cronin is going out to India in January --it looks like further delays in key decisions being made -but we are of course having to deal with the Indian beaurocracy and they are well known for taking their time!- I just fear that the longer it takes the further the shares will fall- any comments would be welcome from anyone on here who follows Cyan shares!--

the bounce from 0.615p was a 50% Fibonacci retracement
also the closing Candlestick being a HAMMER is very bullish


HAMMER
Definition:
The Bullish Hammer Pattern is a significant candlestick that occurs at the bottom of a trend or during a downtrend and it is called a hammer since it is hammering out a bottom. The Bullish Hammer Pattern is a single candlestick pattern and it has a strong similarity to the Bullish Dragonfly Doji Pattern. In the case of Bullish Dragonfly Doji Pattern, the opening and closing prices are identical whereas the Bullish Hammer Pattern has a small real body at the upper end of the trading range.

Recognition Criteria:
1. The market is characterized by a prevailing downtrend.
2. Then we see a small real body at the upper end of the trading range. Color of this body is not important.
3. We would like to see the lower shadow at least twice as long as the real body.
4. There is no (or almost no) upper shadow.

Explanation:
The overall direction of the market is bearish, characterized by a downtrend. Then the market opens with a sharp sell off implying the continuation of the downtrend. However, prices suddenly turn upwards, the sell-off is quickly abated and bullish sentiment continues during the day with a closing price at or near to its high for the day which causes the long lower shadow. Apparently the market fails to continue in the selling side. This observation reduces the previous bearish sentiment causing the short traders to feel increasingly uneasier with their bearish positions.

Important Factors:
If the hammer is characterized by a close above the open thus causing a white body, the situation looks even better for the bulls.

Video of John Cronin interview, well worth watching

John Cronin states “The tender will be awarded to three meter manufacturers”.

interesting post from LSE

"Cyan's prospects in the Indian Electricity metering market are now stronger than ever. Whilst we are having to be patient with the pace of progress on the TNEB tender, this opportunity represents a potentially significant turning point for the Company and we are exceptionally well positioned as the process nears its final stages. It is the view of Cyan's Board, and this has been confirmed by third parties, that the award of the TNEB tender to Cyan's meter manufacturer partners will be transformational in terms of Cyan's perception by customers and will open up an opportunity to establish the market standard for Automated Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") solutions in India (where more than 100 million smart meters are expected to be installed over the next 2-10 years)."

Share moving up STRONGLY after yesterday end of retracement, on what it seems all buying this morning

Further delays .....nothing unusual....but one day this company might just surprise us...

I have been given to understand that there is a small problem to be resolved before any deal or deals can be struck and it relates to the size of the brown envelope!--we all know how things operate business wise in countries like India!--maybe that is why John Cronin is flying out to India in January to resolve this problem, etc--
I still fear that the longer all this takes the likehood is the shares will decline further-lets see anyway what transpires!-Good luck all!-

Moving nicely up today, on a good spike

Smart meter potential in emerging markets

SMART GRIDS INDIA - A NEED FOR SMART PLANNING / 17 DEC 2012

The North India power outage of 2012 left 300 million people without power for 15 hours and even disrupted the regular functioning of the National Capital. The question however remains, what steps are being taken to strengthen the system and avoid another blackout. Though an audit of the protection systems was commissioned, a fundamental re-engineering and restructuring process to curb over drawing of power must be set in place. With rising demand for power in the urban sector, a focus on power supply to rural India must also be given top priority. The Ministry of Power has sent its proposal for addition of 76,000 MW of power capacity in the Twelfth Five Year plan (2012-2017) to the planning commission. Steps to encourage foreign investments in the power sector have also been taken with FDI up to 100 per cent that is permitted under automatic route for projects of electricity generation (except atomic energy), transmission, distribution and power trading.

Efficient transmission,distribution and monitoring systems play a pivotal role in any power related sector. Therefore, utmost care and attention must be given to ensure 100% reliability and accuracy when in operation. Smart technology and innovations coupled with Smart planning should now be the fundamental objective of Indian Power sector. The Indian smart meter market is estimated to be 100 million nodes alone and with the support of Government, revolutionizing India's Grid to an enhanced and dynamic network will be the solution to the current power problems.

Shri Reji Kumar Pillai, The President of India Smart Grid Forum quotes “Indian power sector MUST leverage smart grid technologies to alleviate the perennial problems of the sector – huge t&d losses, power cuts, poor quality of supply and equipment failure. Smart grids can provide end to end visibility of the system in real time that will facilitate effective management of all sources of generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electricity; and also contribute to optimized asset utilization, increased employee productivity and better customer service.” A global perspective comes from Mr. Thor Hjartarson, Manager - System Reliability Planning at Toronto Hydro, who said "Today's Asset Management and Engineering is about finding optimal solutions for a complex system operated as close to utilization as possible. Smart Grid technologies and analytics will enable this through better system monitoring, more accurate and timely information as well as enhanced automation and operation. "

The Smart Grid India Energy Efficiency Optimization Summit on 20 & 21 February, 2013 in New Delhi will touch upon the need to adopt grid and meter technologies that will pave the path to energy efficiency in India. The summit will host speakers such as Shri Reji Kumar Pillai, Mr. Thor Hjartarson alongside Shri Tarun Kapoor from The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and Shri V. Arunachalam from CPRI.

All these companies are paying to get a few minutes of so-called Conference, in front of a few well-known shareholders.
Each talk will contain nothing that isn't already known by the Market and the event is starting mid-day, so there's hardly any time to do more than arrive, run-round and leave.
EDIT: (15Jan2013)- Some good news from Report, but I fear CYAN isn't using the best BM, whereby they take a tiny % of the deals by providing the billing infrastructure, etc. - this should remove Elec Co's fear of getting paid and means CYAN would benefit from general rises in costs - and/or software updates - maybe they do, but I'm not (yet) conviinced....FWIW.
EDIT (16Jan13)-Re Directors taking Shares, in lieu:-IMHO not quite so positive, as the Co is trying to save cash....yet maybe it shows some potential.

There you go Mike :- Cyan to Present at Innovators & Investors Forum

Smart metering industry forecasts

Report forecasts half of all global meter market revenues
to come from smart utility meters by 2016

they would have to sell lots and lots and lots to make a decent profit - i cant see it.

Director Shareholdings

Further to the Company's circular dated 1 September 2010, setting out details of a Directors' Share Purchase Scheme the Company confirms that all of its directors have agreed to revert to receiving shares in lieu of fees from January 2013 until March 2013. This arrangement will apply to 100% of each director's fees.

As before, the newly issued shares will be issued on the 1st day of each month, with the number being determined by the closing mid-market share price of the Ordinary shares on the trading day immediately prior to the issue of the Ordinary Shares. The first issue will therefore be made on 1 February 2013, relating to fees for January 2013. These shares will be issued out of block listings admitted to AIM up to July 2012.

~184 - Agreed, but once you are a Supplier that's a very long income stream . . . it's getting it started that's the problem, but CYAN has managed to keep going and whilst it would be nicer to be UK-sales, we can't be too picky. A meter is a Meter. I think their ability to "switch-off" is going to be attractive as this ensures payment and in lighting helps loadshedding, which benefits generation costs.
~185 - I'm now warming to Co where Dir take shares in Lieu (but NOT "as-well"), as this shows a L-T committment and real hope . . . . their future is going to be rosey. It's about time LT holders benefited, but there is still hope.

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM: CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control announces the conditional placing of 223,333,333 new Ordinary Shares of 0.01p each ("Placing Shares") with new and existing institutional shareholders ("Placees") at a price of 0.45p per share to raise £1 million before expenses (the "Placing"). The Placing is conditional only upon the admission of the shares to AIM.

Directorate and Management Changes

Change of Advisor

- - - Another setback - - -
90% Club since only 2010 DYOR
Execs down 60%, since July "13
I'm down near that too.... Ooops!

Yes, I have about half a crowns worth left too - Oooops indeed!

End of th line..?

Cant see much value here.

Prob is they are good a giving away Shareholder-value, but very NOT good at receiving it. I wonder if the BRIC Elec. co are struggling to receive any revenue - so CYAN is at the end of the queue. Today 0.13p as another "Fundraising" lowers the sp to "placing-price" - that nearly half what I paid earlier 2013 - knowing that was well-down on early-movers.
Not looking good...
EDIT (10Feb2014)- 0.23pence is not reading good. However, this may show the Fundraising hasn't done too much damage. Pity they still don't understand "Profits".
EDIT ( 17 Feb2014 ):- Today 0.18p =another slip closer to the Fundraising price...

First Cyan order for retrofit commercial deployment in India

Update on Metering Partnership in Brazil

AGM Statement

Cyan Holdings plc (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control, is holding its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 11 a.m. today and provides the following statement:

The Board of Cyan was delighted to announce its first order for commercial retrofit deployment in India today, as well as confirmation of the successful pilot in Brazil. Cyan now has multiple pilots deployed in India and Brazil, with both public and private entities of varying sizes, and other pilots waiting to be deployed. The pilots are mainly for Cyan's solution integrated into new smart meters rather than the retrofit product, although the retrofit product is receiving good interest from both India and Brazil. Whilst it is difficult to determine whether any of the Company's prospects and pilots will convert to meaningful orders, as stated in Cyan's annual results, local partners are reporting strong prospects to close opportunities during 2014. With today's news and developments seen in the market, the Cyan team remain highly motivated and confident.

Immediately following the AGM, the Company will give a short presentation to shareholders, a copy of which can be found on the Company's website at www.cyantechnology-ir.com/html/investors/presentations.asp.

Second Smart Metering Contract Win

Consortium led by Larsen & Toubro has been selected by Tata Power Mumbai

Cyan (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control, announces that a consortium led by Larsen & Toubro ("L&T") has been selected by Tata Power Mumbai for the deployment of Cyan's CyLec® Advanced Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") solution in India.

Tata Power Mumbai ("Tata") is a Tata Group company and part of India's largest integrated power company with a significant international presence and approximately 400,000 retail customers in Mumbai. Tata have spent the last 12 months evaluating the consortium's technology and following the success of this evaluation, Cyan has now received an order from L&T to provide a complete AMI solution consisting of 865MHz RF modules, Data Concentrator Units, Head-End Server software licenses, onsite software installation services and an annual software maintenance contract. The Cyan 865MHz radio communication modules will be installed inside the L&T smart meters that will be deployed for Tata. The initial contract with Tata is for the deployment of 5,000 consumer meters in a district in Mumbai and is currently planned to go live in early 2015.

The consortium members include L&T (consortium lead partner), Cyan and Neosilica, who in partnership will provide an integrated CyLec AMI solution to Tata. L&T will supply smart meters, with CyLec® wireless technology inside, and Neosilica will provide a Meter Data Acquisition System ("MDAS") interface from Cyan's Head End Server into Tata's Meter Data Management System for billing and fault management.

John Cronin, Executive Chairman of Cyan, commented, "After the announcement of the first retrofit order from Essel Utilities less than two weeks ago, we are delighted to now have our second significant order and commercial deployment in India. Since signing a partnership agreement with L&T in February 2012, we have worked closely with them to ensure we can provide a fully functional end-to-end solution for the Indian market. As Tata are viewed as leaders in the generation and transmission of electricity, their selection of the consortium's AMI technology will act as an important reference for other utilities evaluating smart metering technologies across India. This selection demonstrates the strength and credibility of the consortium's offering and further establishes Cyan as a credible solution for emerging markets."

Reji Pillai Kumar, President of India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF), commented "I wish to congratulate ISGF members Tata Power Company, L&T and Cyan Technology on the commercial deployment of full AMI solutions on sub-GHz RF mesh network in India. Utilities have recognised the benefits that can be achieved by adopting smart grid technologies and an important step towards reducing T&D losses is to remotely identify and collect data from every meter. I am pleased that Tata Power is progressing to commercial deployment of the CyLec AMI platform which would support Tata Power's billing and fault management processes as well as provide the full benefits of these advanced technologies."

Satyam Bheemarasetti of Neosilica, CEO, commented, "We are pleased to be part of the consortium selected to provide enterprise level scalable solutions in smart grid AMI that will deliver tangible savings to Tata Power. We appreciate Tata Power and L&T for taking this crucial first step towards commercial adoption of smart grid in India."

The Indian power sector is heavily focussed on reducing transmission and distribution ("T&D") losses which will support the distribution companies' requirement to improve their financial health. Smart grid technologies have been identified as a solution that could address these losses effectively. By implementing a smart metering solution, it allows the utility to collect and analyse data from every meter ensuring accurate billing and collection for every customer. As revenues increase, and T&D losses decrease, monies can be reinvested into further smart grid roll outs. With 200 million meters currently, it is estimated that India will install 130 million smart meters by 2021.

Second Pilot in Brazil and Order Update

New Pilot with Indian State-Owned Utility

Cyan (AIM:CYAN.L), the integrated system and software design company delivering mesh based flexible wireless solutions for utility metering and lighting control, announces that a bidding consortium of 5 companies including Cyan, has deployed a proof of concept pilot of 60 meters to demonstrate Cyan's CyLec Advanced Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") technology with the Indian state-owned utility, Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Ltd ("UGVCL").

The pilot, in Naroda and Deesa, is part of a competitive tender process that began in late 2013 with four other bidding consortia, consisting of technology providers, system integrators and meter manufacturers supplying their AMI solutions for evaluation by the utility. The consortium which includes Cyan technology is believed to be the only one to have demonstrated an interoperable, sub-GHz smart metering solution. If Cyan's consortium is successful, it would represent a major endorsement of the Company's hardware and software and is expected to clearly illustrate the CyLec compelling value proposition for other electricity utilities across the region.

The UGVCL pilot is one of 14 smart grid pilots under the Smart Grid Task Force ("SGTF") in India being run by the Ministry of Power. Whilst no guarantee can be given at this time that the consortium will be successful in converting this pilot into a commercial order, or that UGVCL will roll out AMI on completing its evaluations of the various solutions currently in pilot phase, Cyan is pleased that its technology has already proven its interoperability across two meters supplied by different manufacturers.

In a separate smart metering initiative at the same utility, Cyan was formally invited by UGVCL in April 2014 to install a further 100 meter 865MHz smart metering proof of concept. The pilot letter specification required that the meters be capable of self forming/self healing mesh networking and be capable of being read at a range of at least 100 meters. This pilot has also now been deployed by Cyan, with UGVCL expected to evaluate the results over the next few months.

· Cyan's management believes this is the first commercial implementation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") technology by a public utility for consumers in India

· CESC distributes power to more than 1.5 million domestic customers in India

The purchase order from Enzen, worth INR 95 million (approximately £1 million), is for a project to be implemented for CESC. CESC is a public utility with responsibility for power distribution to more than 1.5 million domestic customers across five districts of Karnataka: Chamarajanagar, Mandya, Hassan, Kodagu and Mysore. CESC is implementing an AMI solution designed to reduce the cost of meter reading and aggregate technical and commercial losses, as well as to improve peak load and power outage management. Enzen is a global energy and environment company providing high-end solutions to the energy and utilities industries.

In April 2014, Enzen was awarded a contract to provide energy infrastructure solutions to CESC and Cyan will act as Enzen's end-to-end solution provider for the smart metering elements of the contract. Cyan will supply its 865MHz RF mesh communication network (including the modules, data concentrator units and head end software), a Meter Data Acquisition System and 21,824 smart meters. Cyan will manage the supply chain through local meter manufacturer partners. In addition, Cyan will provide facility management services to CESC in Mysore for a period of two years post deployment, which is expected to represent around 10% of the order value. The project is expected to go live in phases with the first meters installed, commissioned and live before the end of 2015 and the remainder live in the first half of 2016.

The project is the first of 14 smart grid pilots under the Smart Grid Task Force in India being funded by India's Ministry of Power to be rolled out. Cyan's management believes that this is the first commercial implementation of AMI technology by a public utility for consumers in India.

John Cronin, Executive Chairman, commented: "We are delighted to have our first commercial order for a public utility in India, following our two private utility project wins at Tata Power and Essel Utilities last year. The order for the CESC project, one of the 14 smart grid pilot projects in India, will provide substantial credibility for Cyan's CyLec solution amongst government-owned utilities as well as the wider energy distribution market. Furthermore, it will act as an authoritative reference to opportunities in India and across Asia.

"CyLec has been developed to address the requirements of utilities in next-generation economies, of which India is one of the leaders; India has a growing population and 300 million without power* The Indian government has committed to spend billions of dollars on smart grid infrastructure, according to a new report from Northeast Group. The report forecasts that over the period 2015-2025 the cumulative spend will be $21.6 billion**. At present, India has 200 million legacy meters currently deployed and it is estimated it will install 130 million smart meters by 2021***. We look forward to building further on our market leading position and taking a significant role in this technological evolution."

Newsflow, SP graph
..............Not looking good is it?
Directors buy large chunks of shares ( Well done them ) yet there are sellers out there that just want to off-load their holdings. SP just wanders down further.

Until they can find some decent income-stream this will continue - you cannot rely on retail investors to keep buying - why should they?
Obviously, CYAN Directors "expect" it to come good, but they would and need to protect their earlier commitments . . . . but from my perspective it's not looking like they have something to should about yet . . . and maybe not at all....

Good luck to anyone that attends - perhaps a run-through of impressions later?
-but please do not copy/paste Co. hand-outs.

CYAN Dirs since 2013 have been investing in their Big Thing . . . yet consistently their trust in themselves has been dashed - so why should anyone else put their money there? I distrust Co's that operate out of the UK . . . it means you cannot really check what's up....and gives rise to the suspicion that they can't convince UK folks to pay for their services either.
If UK Co's can supply suitable metering kit ( and pres. the whole of Europe!), then why does CYAN have to scurry off the other side of the globe? It makes little sense to me. . . . . and their turnover/profits rather confirm it in crisp detail.
I note that one recent Dir details shows LSE Subx - yet that appears to be zippo... anyone?
EDIT (23Feb2016)- RNS - Cyan sells kit to Iran - about £60k-worth . . . but it does show they have sales and it's tech that others want . . . good news of sorts . . . but no mention of "profits" and I missed any "servicing contract" -
EDIT-(6April2016)- sp rises 100% (=0.28p)on large Iran order ( do we sell there, too?) - DYOR....but it seems the sales will be in next FY . . . so expect sp to slip well before then.... still, modestly good news, eh?
EDIT-(11April2016)- Just to bring us down to Ground-level. . . I hope the Dirs have ensured they get a large pre-payment so if this Order goes wrong CYAN shareholders aren't left holding the baby.... Whilst the Order may be a turning-point if it goes well and cust. is satisfied - there are plenty of issues/places where high-tech can falter - unbeknowns on both sides . . . Seller Beware !...
EDIT (29April2016) sp ~ 0.29 - abt. double a short while (no-news) ago. This could be MM "push" -
EDIT(22Aug2016)-sp ~ 1p13, despite a big increase noted here . . . but it's still losing money and no prospect of a dividend for the years we've waiting - AND still dilution reigns. This is a drain.

Well.....this is a turn up for the book !.......a massive order from Iran of all places !.....£10 million pound contract.....for once one of my dogs is no longer one.....

Well done for holding the dog required field and good luck better not take profits to early as now the dogs out the trap things should only get better - give it a few more years and the rewards could be very rich indeed.

Takeover bid by this company perhaps....had a negative effect on the sp....or another fund raising......not sure what to make of it.....this company has big potential but then look at AFC......can't believe the disappointing sp for that one....time these companies showed their investors some progress for real !....

Fund raising


The Board of Cyan Holdings plc notes recent press speculation and confirms that it is considering its financing options to raise approximately £12.5 million to be used for a potential acquisition and for working capital purposes (the "Potential Transaction"), although the terms of any potential placing have not yet been agreed.

The Potential Transaction, if it were to proceed, would be classified as a substantial transaction for the purposes of the AIM Rules for Companies.

A further announcement will be made in due course, as appropriate.

wont be cheap for long - fantastic rns today - near 600% increase in revenues - imminent pipeline orders to be converted and generate large revenues - under the radar for now but not for much longer - gla

CYAN -Electrical Switchery - it's like this co is always passing-round the begging bowl ...True the sp is up, on a year ago...but for earlier funding, say Jan 2015.... Ouch.
Hopeless for LT investment which should be what we are looking-for . . . you can't stock-watch every day and you never know what lies ahead.
Perhaps, because most of their contracts (hopefuls) are overseas, the weaker pound has given (hoped-for) Overseas Sales a boost . . . but I suspect ( but cannot know) the picture will remain upbeat with little sales improvement. I Don't mention "dividend" either.
EDIT (2Feb2017)- sp 0.19 - prob says it all. . . . The engine's still trying, but the clutch is gone
EDIT (20March2017)- Placing at 0.1pence has floored the sp.
EDIT(12Sept2017)-briefly up to 0.2p, soon down today=0.17 ... DYOR
EDIT (18Sept2017)- What's this about Fundraising at 28p consolidated shares?
EDIT(23Nov2017)- sp 24p.....seems CONsolidation was 200:1 - Ooops! Oh and a fundraising - funny that, poor LT shareholders, eh?

$29m purchase order for smart metering in Ukraine

Largest Order to Date Successfully Expanding Geographic Reach

CyanConnode, the world leader in narrowband radio mesh networks, has received a purchase order worth $29 million from its strategic partner NIK LLC ("NIK") for a smart metering contract in Ukraine.

The purchase order is significantly larger than any received to date by CyanConnode and marks a further step change in the Company's commercial progress.

As a result of this new contract, the order book, representing the value of purchase orders received but not yet delivered, will be $100 million, which includes $33million of expected software licence and support revenue from the UK smart metering contract.

Purchase Order
The purchase order is for the supply of CyanConnode's hardware and software advanced metering infrastructure solution for a 1 million unit smart metering deployment to be delivered over the next three years.

CyanConnode will receive $13 million for the provision of hardware with the majority of deliveries expected to be weighted towards years two and three.

Once each meter has been installed and is operational, the Head End Server software ("HES") licence payments (to be made on a per meter per year basis) will commence. The HES payments will be made over the 10-year period post installation and will be worth $16 million, providing the company with a recurring revenue stream.

NIK, an energy management system company based in Ukraine, currently manufactures circa. 1.5 million utility meters per year and will integrate CyanConnode's hardware with its meters at their production facility. The NIK smart meters, enabled by CyanConnode's narrowband radio mesh network technology, will be part of NIK's 'smart meter' product offering and will replace their existing ZigBee-based smart meter offering.

This is the Company's first order from NIK for a utility customer in Eastern Europe, and the order size and revenue visibility provided by this contract reflects the Company's ability to win and service large scale contracts providing increasing levels of high margin recurring software revenues.

Furthermore, this order further demonstrates the Company's growing geographical sales footprint in addition to highlighting the advantages of CyanConnode's radio mesh network technology over conventional ZigBee-based solutions.

Strategic Partnership
CyanConnode and NIK have also signed a non-exclusive, strategic partnership agreement to collaborate on the supply of all aspects of smart metering technology for gas and electricity meters, initially in Ukraine. As part of the agreement, NIK will be responsible for all certification of CyanConnode's hardware in Ukraine and when NIK have sold an agreed number of units, it will take over local manufacture of the Company's hardware, under a licensing model.

The Large Market Opportunity in Eastern Europe
A recent report by Northeast Group, a well-respected market intelligence firm based in Washington, DC, highlighted that Central and Eastern European countries are forging ahead with investment in smart grid infrastructure with a reported US$25.2 billion to be invested over the next ten years.1 The overall number of electricity consumers in Ukraine is circa. 16.5 million, providing scope for further significant follow-on orders.

John Cronin, CyanConnode Executive Chairman, commented: "We are pleased to announce such a significant order from our partner, in a new geographic region. This latest contract win further demonstrates the suitability of CyanConnode's award-winning technology for smart metering implementations and the scalability of its collaborative business model.

"NIK has the skills and experience to deliver integrated smart metering deployments in Eastern Europe as well as other markets including Russia and South Asia. We look forward to working with NIK to implement existing contracts as well as win new opportunities."

Sergiy Bokoch, Chief Executive Officer, NIK, commented: "As a leading smart grid solution provider we are seeing more opportunities for narrowband RF mesh networks as the technology offers resilient, feature-rich and cost-effective solutions. NIK selected CyanConnode, to replace its existing ZigBee solution, based on the performance, reliability and the total cost of ownership of CyanConnode's technology. Furthermore, being part of CyanConnode's partner eco-system provides NIK with world class support for the integration and deployment of narrowband networks."

Oh dear, another round of listening to Execs saying it will be alright.....soon.
Similar pattern about 8-years ago.....
EDIT (23Jan2018)- Buy some if you feel lucky.... but the pattern could be a repeat.... small rise due to Execs telling folk it's all good, then nothing as the sp falters. I don't recall any significant Orders...Let alone repeat orders.... What does this say?
EDIT (28May2018)- sp is ~10p - Yet after CONsolidation ( Oct 2017-DYOR), it reached 30p . Turnover is about £1m with losses about 10x that ... the loss/share is about 10p ( see Accounts) . . . . meanwhile Execs are collectively costing almost £1m ( some payment as Shares)....doesn't look good, does it?
EDIT (15June2018)-CONsolidation was 200:1 DYOR - but now ( that 24p sp), is abt. 8p - Nasty. IMHO....If a Co can't Sell in its HOME Market, Buyer beware!
EDIT (20June2018)- After the AGM a fall to 10p75 doesn't make that CONsolidation look too good, eh? - better than 8p (LOW) but nowhere near the CONsolidated price just a short while ago. Having a Poll at an AGM means the punters don't agree... but Management uses their stock to push policy...IMHO.
EDIT 11Sept2018)-sp 7p after results show losses slightly lower, but years bf profits.
Maybe more CONsolidation to return to double digits? - Huh!
EDIT(24Sept2018)-sp up, up ~12p mid... presumably on Order News. One day there might be a profit from all their time in India. DHB.
EDIT (15Nov 2018)- Seems fundraising has created massive dilution and not much sp benefit to compensate...I guess, but cannot know, this cash will soon be spent and more will be needed as this money pit keeps croaking "more cash" . . . it spiked to 16p (=2-Nov). but has already fallen back to ~10p now.
EDIT (7Dec2018)-Oh dear...Tech licence to China.... sp now 12p, but for how long?

CyanConnode (AIM: CYAN), a world leader in narrowband radio frequency (RF) mesh networks, is pleased to announce the receipt of a $2.9 million purchase order for a five-year support and maintenance contract for an Omnimesh smart metering deployment by a State-Owned Utility in India.

This contract relates to the $11.6 million purchase order announced last week, for Omnimesh IPv6-based hardware, perpetual software licenses and services, received from a Tier One Metering Partner. It includes support and maintenance of the RF Canopy, firmware and software support and training. The contract will start within six months from the commencement of meter installations and is for an initial period of five years.

Anil Daulani, Managing Director of CyanConnode Pvt Limited, commented: "We are very pleased to announce this significant, follow-on order for support and maintenance for the Omnimesh smart metering solution being provided to the State-Owned Utility. As an integrated network services company, we have the technology, partners and expertise to provide end-to-end smart metering RF communications solutions that enable utilities to reduce their cost to serve and improve customer experience.

"This contract demonstrates our commitment and ability to provide both world class technology and expert support to customers, from integration to ongoing maintenance. CyanConnode designs, delivers and supports solutions and services which enable organisations to create, improve and operate the smart networks that their businesses depend on. Our comprehensive approach builds customer confidence and loyalty, providing scope for follow-on orders as well as further revenue streams."

The Omnimesh product was officially launched on 27 June 2018 and the total value of orders received for this new product is now more than $18.9 million, which demonstrates its suitability for the Indian smart metering market.

The information communicated in this announcement is inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014.
