DDD Group (LSE: DDD.L - news) , has developed software and hardware products that enable the viewing of 3D images without the need to wear special spectacles. The company has just signed a 3-year deal with nWave Pictures to covert a number of movies into its TriDef format. Could be one for the watch list.

On my watch list.

LOL

No demand for pretend 3D from DDD. Maybe a small demand for the real thing.

You will be surprised, Haystack.

DDD don't do real 3D.

DDD Group H1 pretax loss 1.028 mln stg vs 582,000 stg
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - DDD Group PLC, the 3D software and content company, announced a half-year pretax loss of 1.028 mln stg, compared to a loss of 582,000 stg in the same period the year before.

Turnover was 146,000 stg, compared to 283,000 stg in the same period the year before.

DDD said that it was anticipated that the second half would deliver a stronger result, based on the assumption that licensing royalties and content-related revenues for its 3D mobile phone would be underway.

This expectation was recently revised, the company said, since the current mobile phone licensee is taking longer to complete the redesign of their 3D mobile phone, a circumstance that is beyond the direct control of the company.

DDD said it now appears likely that the launch of the redesigned 3D mobile phone will be delayed until 2007.

An interesting pst from iii

DDD's once more, delayed 3d Phone has GOT to be one hell of a gadget, because the one I saw at the Agm this year was pretty ordinary indeed, even with its slightly dull 3d image display.
Phones today have come a long long way in style, usability and cost.
The new release 'when it finally' appears in 2007 will need to be very dynamic indeed, especially on the price, to get the customers rolling in.

Hence, I will not buy back in DDD at the moment, as I feel there's more downward sp movement to come, coupled with the cash burn situation, which could result in investors haing to stump up more cash very soon.
All IMHO of course

results

Turnover of 146,000 against 2005: 283,000


Loss before tax of 1,028,000 against 2005: 582,000

Half the turnover and twice the loss!

No wonder they gave a profits warning a few days ago.

DIRE.

Net cash outflow from operating activities 844k for six months. They have 683k net assets as at end June. That should last until mid November. It looks like we should expect another cash call. They have had 1.2m in extra cash this year already.

More dilution!

What numpty from Shares mag made this a 'play of week'? Go on...name and shame!

Haystack, you have not posted on any advfn threads since June. Why is that?

Its out of the bag DDD has not held back on its interim report.. As the company has already issued the news that turnover would be down.. Because of the late roll-out of the 3D mobile which is out of their hands.. The company say in there report that the roll-out should now take place 2007.. Interim report indicates that they had 625,000 in the bank.. The company will have to hold back on any spending then cash burn should just about last until the extra income comes on stream from licensing royalties and content related revenues for the 3D mobile phone..

Take time out and visit www.ddd.com its well worth the visit keep your 3D eyes on DDDDid you take a 3D view and invest in DDD..?

The cash they have should last until around December. You can safely ignore any revenue fron 3D mobiles for at least another year. No only do the mobiles have to come out, but they have to be sold and people have to want to pay for pseudo 3D images rather than real 3D. Royalties will be slow coming, if they turn up at all.

It looks to me as though the SP is going a lot lower yet. I am expecting a cash call in the next few months based on a new discounted, dilutionary share isssue.

Hi Haystack I would think that the MM's would like to see the SP trade up.. this should help the expected cash call...

What we realy require is some goods news on one of DDD's other products... Its wait and see time...

The MMs wouldhave no view on thematter. Thye only mke money on turnover of shares. The price is of no consequence to them. In fact a lower share price would make the cash call easier and cause more share to be issued. What is usually needed for a new share issue via a placement is a stable share price. A new issue with a falling share price is a nightmare as the price might fall below the issue price.

Hi Haystack... that's what I was trying to say... falling share price will not help anyone... Should there be a need for the company to call for more funding..

The key as I see it is more news flow from the Company...

On going business for DDD.. The redesign programme is moving ahead for a 3D handset which will have an improved 3D display.. I am led to understand that the roll-out of the new mobile telephone for the domestic market could take place early 2007..

There could be a extra development work with the licensee, securing further minor development.. This ongoing business is indeed first class news for the company.. its a big step from design to retail,. once made DDD will soon make amends to the shareholders.. take a 3D view on DDD website at www.ddd.com its well worth the visit.. Anyone out there who has taken a dip and invested in DDD?..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5403588.stm

Mobile phone sales start to slow!

Who really is going to buy eD phone and who would pay to view a clip of DDD's pretend 3D. DDD only do conversion software from 2D to pseudo 3D. That's the sum total of their business. I remember when some investoras thought that DDD did hardware or screens.

Great news for Haystack...


DDD's mobile licensee renews exclusive licence
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - AIM-listed 3D software company DDD Group PLC said its DDD Mobile licensee has renewed its exclusive rights to license the company's 2D to 3D conversion capabilities in its domestic market.

The deal will allow the licensee to embed the software in its 3D mobile phone handsets, allowing consumers to convert any 2D still or video into 3D and yielding a per handset royalty to DDD.

It looks like the sort of window dressing you get before a new fund rasing exercise.

Still an unnamed mobile phone company and still next year. Wasn't that what they said last year?

DDD still looks as bad as ever though.

More good news for DDD.....



DDD Group PLC
30 October 2006

DDD SIGNS 3D MOBILE CONTENT AGREEMENT



Santa Monica, California (October 30, 2006) 3/4 DDD Group plc (AIM: DDD), the 3D
software and content company, today announces that they have just signed the
company's first agreement to supply 3D content for mobile telephones with a
leading mobile telephone SIM card manufacturer.


DDD has supplied a 3D content bundle comprising six still images, five
multimedia messaging (MMS) animations and five short video clips. The 3D content
bundle will be pre-loaded on a new generation of SIM card that provides a
substantial amount of built-in data storage. The SIM card will be introduced to
subscribers by a mobile telephone operator prior to the end of 2006.


The initial agreement covers the supply of up to six thousand SIM cards. The per
SIM card royalty is US $6. DDD retains two thirds of the royalty while the
remaining third is paid to third party copyright owners. A non-refundable
royalty advance of US $14,400 (or 40% of the total amount potentially payable
under this agreement) became due on execution of the agreement.


The content will be supplied in the red/blue 'anaglyphic' 3D format allowing it
to be used with standard mobile telephone handsets in conjunction with a pair of
3D glasses supplied with each SIM card.


The company expects to provide further information confirming the various
parties involved in the project in conjunction with the formal launch of the SIM
card later this year.


Chris Yewdall, Chief Executive of DDD said: 'This agreement to supply 3D mobile
phone content represents the achievement of another milestone in the company's
mobile telephone strategy. We have been able to capitalize on our 3D mobile
phone content library in advance of the launch of 'glasses-free' 3D mobile
telephones. In addition to pre-loading content on SIM cards, we also plan to
provide content pre-installed on handsets and to allow subscribers to download
individual items of content to their handsets.'

Have you even read the detail? The most that they can make out of this agreement is $14,400 * 100 / 40 = $36,000 and it's dollars not even pounds.

NOT even worth an RNS.

LOL
