The main points at the Year end results were:
* Strong cash position: $55.2 m and no borrowings (2001: $56.6m)
* Significant R&D program maintained
* General and administrative overheads reduced by 37% - in line with strategy
* Awarded an exclusive contract with a leading regional Bell operating company in H2
* Won first major contract for VOIP platform in the US

The company is increasing its presence in several markets which have substantial potential, including the Far East and despite the recent decline in revenues, they are now serving more customers in more countries than ever before.

Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive has ensured the company is debt free and cash rich. He has kept a tight control on expenditure and been very smart as to whom he chose to do business with.

The high speed Internet business just taking off and systems have to be upgraded to take up high data load and telcos simply need equipment’s made by makers like BATM.

With time, Financial Institutions will seek out companies which represent good value and strong potential in terms of their growth and BATM is one such company.

Very good news ahead of the AGM .............

BATM says exceeding all expectations

BATM Advanced Communications said it expects revenues and operating profits for 2008 to be significantly higher than present market forecasts and its earlier expectations.
In a statement ahead of its AGM, the company said growth has continued to be very strong, with trading significantly exceeding its expectations.

BATM said it expects to exceed current market forecasts of revenues of $110m for the full year, following last year's reported figure of $97m, by at least a further $10m.

The company added it expects its investments to make a positive contribution to its performance this year and to grow substantially next year and beyond.

And a further BREAKOUT after the movement up of the last few days and the positive news today

Master RSI - 11 Jul 2008 13:03 - 117 of 402

The last spike that resulted on a new BREAKOUT, is not looking good at the moment on the chart.

Looking closely at the Chart, though still early days, could signal a HEAD and SHOULDERS if the price was going
to hold for a while at 45 / 47.50p, then the signal could be to go lower again to 35 / 40p

Technology companies are the strongest ones at the moment compare to the rest of the market,
not only for the share price performance but for the strengh on their current business

WORST Scenario
HEAD and SHOULDERS to come

RESUME of the RESULTS

Sales were as expected much higher after the AGM update, with better margins aswell

(Gross profit margin increased to 50% of revenue during the period (H1 2007: 46%). ).

What it seems is suffering a bit is the new business needed an extra support once they were adquired and that got the expenses on the administrative side a bit TOO high.

(General and administrative expenses were $4,553,000 (H1 2007: $2,171,000) representing 6.8% of revenue compared with 5.5% in H1 2007. This increase is primarily related to the support activities for newly acquired businesses.

Balance sheet holding well with the cash, after the adquisitions ( mainly in shares)

( Our balance sheet remains strong with effective liquidity of $61.7m (H1 2007: $51.9m).

Master RSI - 26 Aug 2008 17:51 - 121 of 402

END-OF-DAY OVERVIEW:

BATM Advanced Communications rose 3p to 59.25p after it revealed first-half pretax profits rose 161% as revenues grew 68%. In reaction, FinCapp raised its target and estimates for the broadband and telecoms group.

Yesterday news ...........

BATM says Q3 performance stronger, confident on FY

LONDON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - BATM Advanced Communications Ltd:

* Performance in the third quarter of 2008 has been much stronger than in the
same period in 2007

* Revenues have grown in the first 9 months of the year by 58% over the same period last year to $99,768,000

* Our balance sheet remains very strong and we ended September with effective
cash balances of $60.1M

* Performance re-enforces our confidence of meeting our targets for the full
year

Master RSI - 04 Nov 2008 13:35 - 127 of 402

Any changes on the news?


The rate of revenues for the 3Q $33.4, looks much the same as the growth at the Interim stage $66.4M, so if we consider the adquisitions lately were included on the 3Q, then it must have been a slow down on some parts of the business.

My expectations of $140.8M for the full Year, most likely will be a bit short if we look into the $99.8M of revenues for the last 9 month.

BATM powers ahead
Created: 3 November 2008 Written by: John Hughman

Telecom equipment provider BATM Advanced Communications said sales over the first nine months of its financial year had increased by 58 per cent from the previous year, and that it was on course to hit full year forecasts.

Last Friday 7th November 08

"The shares have slipped 20% since we suggested buying them (52p, 25th September 2008). But this reinforces our view that BATM's fundamentals are sound. Buy at 40.5p.
