* 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.

Vigilant eyes carrier partnership
By L. Samuel Pfeifle - 07.23.2009

FOXBORO, Mass.Though video management software maker Vigilant is committed to the systems integrator channel, the company is eyeing another route to market as well: A major partnership with a telecommunications company that would make video surveillance part of its commercial service offering.

What we see is that local carriers are looking to differentiate themselves, said Steven Curtis, senior vice president, sales and service, for Telco Systems, Vigilants parent company. Were banking on surveillance as a service. You already have the disaster recovery and storage as a service, the magic of cloud computing. The infrastructure is in place so why not do surveillance, too?

Potential carrier partners would white-label Vigilants solution, so the company would have no brand exposure to the end user market. Some carriers will carve out a portion of their central station to do the monitoring of the video themselves, others might actually contract out the monitoring to a traditional security monitoring operation, Curtis theorized.

Carriers having an advantage because they own the bandwidth, and dont have to charge a margin on it, like traditional security providers do, he said. In addition, carriers already have a client based used to paying them a monthly fee and signing a long-term contract.

The carriers can go in there and lock them in for five years, Curtis said. Theyll also lock them in for voice and data, but with surveillance the customers wont jump to a competitor for five bucks less a month.

But why Vigilant? Shahar Zeevi, newly hired Vigilant corporate sales engineer and with a background at NICE, said its Vigilants back-end that makes the company attractive to the carriers. When you look at the screens, they all look basically the same, Zeevi said of video management software providers. The back-end is what makes Vigilant strong ... we have a solid solution that scales well, that can be used with different bandwidth scenarios, can be used regionally or nationally, and its very easy to drill down into all of the cameras.

Also, Vigilants relationship with Telco Systems, a large networking firm, helps the company understand what carrier-grade means when it comes to reliability.

Its a five-9s type mindset, said Curtis. When you look at tuning the network, we have the networking equipment to be able to look at each surveillance stream, thats what large enterprises and carriers are expecting to see.

Vigilant is hoping to announce its first major carrier partnership in the near future.

IC updateHere is the comment .......... BATM beats forecasts Created: 4 August 2009 Written by: Malar Velaigam BATM's computer network traffic control products have continued to gain traction in the medical sector, with first half sales in that division more than doubling from $5.7m to $13.1m (7.7m) on the back of increased sales and marketing efforts.The growth in the medical business helped offset weaker trading in BATM's larger telecoms operation, which saw first half sales dip by 7 per cent to $55.9m (33m). However, this was widely expected as 2008 figures benefited from the provision of communications products to the Beijing Olympics. Moreover, the company's networking peers have been reporting high single digit revenue declines this year, too. The telecoms operation enjoys higher margins, which explains the fall in BATM's operating profits from $14m to 10.8m, although this was still 14 per cent higher than the second half of 2008. Reported first half pre-tax profits rose by a third, though, due to 2.2m of gains on financial instruments and foreign exchange.Chief executive Zvi Marom remains confident on the full year outlook, based on current trading patterns and the strong forward order book. So analyst Paul Cornelius of FinnCap Research is expecting full year pre-tax profits of $26.9m, giving EPS of 6.6 (2008: 6.9).

Retracement how much will fall this time?

Second day falling, as I was expecting. During the last 3 month, the retrament have been pretty large.....
...92%, 87% and 83%, lets hope this time is better, but I do remember posters somewhere else were complaining saying: why BVC, gives almost all the rises away?

I think the rise earlier on, was much better from 24p to 35p a rise of 11p or 45% and only retrace to 30.50p or 13%.

good night

retracement chart ...

Yes, I am tired, the retracement % during the last 3 month, are much worse than I thought by eye
