We believe that the expertise and experience across a diverse range of materials available from IQE is unparalleled within the compound semiconductor industry.

IQE secures major outsourcing contract with leading RF component manufacturer
IQE's North American subsidiary, IQE Inc, today announced it has secured a major
outsourcing contract to supply a leading North American RF Component
Manufacturer with epitaxial materials for its RF based components used in mobile
handsets. The agreement, which is effective from 1st November 2004 and is for a
minimum term of two years, renewable annually thereafter, provides for IQE's
Bethlehem site to supply more than 90% of the customer's anticipated demand for
their advanced RF wafer products and is estimated to be worth around US$25
million in revenue to IQE over the initial two year period. As a result of the
agreement, internal wafer manufacture at the customer's site will cease. Both
parties have been working closely together for several years; a relationship
through which IQE has gained a high degree of confidence in its own ability to
service the outsourced epiwafer needs of major manufacturers.

IQE's President & CEO, Drew Nelson said "This agreement with such a prominent
global supplier of RF components for the cellular phone market demonstrates a
clear movement towards the outsourcing model within the compound semiconductor
industry. Their selection of IQE as the primary partner, as a result of our
large and comprehensive production capacity, and low cost structure, endorses
the Company's commitment to the outsource model"

A spokesman for the customer commented: "outsourcing certain products and
services such as the manufacture of our RF epitaxial wafers allow us to
concentrate our efforts on the processes that add significant value to our
product offering within the global, highly competitive RF market place and we
are pleased to build on previous work we have undertaken with IQE. This
agreement will allow us to be one of the most highly cost effective players in
the RF component marketplace"

IQE (IQE) Buy
Mkt cap: 36m Net cash: 11m Contract win Price/Target: 11p/15p
Breakthrough contract win
IQE has announced that it has won a $25m two year outsourcing deal
with a leading US RF component manufacturer. This is a genuine
breakthrough for IQE it gives us the confidence needed to raise our
target price to 15p
IQE have won a major outsourcing contract with a leading US Radio Frequency
wireless/mobile components company. The contract has a minimum term of
two years and an initial value of $25m. This is one of the four contracts that
management were referring to at the time of the fund raising in November
2004. The other three do not appear to be close to signing at present but the
list of potential customers is still there and management continue to talk to
other parties. This contract win proves that there is a market for wholesale
outsourcing of epitaxy and we expect others to follow but not in the
immediate future.
We estimate the split to be $10m:$15m between year one and year two. The
contract involves the closure of the customer's facilities and because of the
sensitive nature of this the identity of the customer has not been announced.
We are not changing our forecasts. This $10m for the first year is already in our
27.2m revenues estimate for next year. It is worth noting that because the
contract is with an existing customer there is an element of revenue substitution
in this contract. However, this announcement does mean that we are
considerably more comfortable with the forecasts than we were.
If more contracts come through, the revenues should go straight into our
forecasts. We would not expect the other contracts to be as substantial as this
but given the marginal loss/profit scenario we have forecast for next year their
effect on earnings could be significant.
As a result of this announcement we have increased confidence in the forecasts
and so we are increasing our share price target to 15p.

I remember her well. She lied you know.

What we need is for Goldfinger to start ramping these as well, SueHelen and Goldfinger The Dream Team.

But kidding a side this is still a decent investment and at these levels it is still a steal if you take a 3 month investment persepective

Oh no - and I thought everyone had gone to the movies.

Nice to see such a strong buy/sell ratio in early trades.


On line the buy cap is at 100,000 with a higher 150,000 sell limit. This is as it was in the run up to the results.


Go with the trend.
