Siemens and Belgravium team-up for flexible and innovative financial solutions

London, 3 September 2007


Partnership enables more effective and efficient management of investments

Siemens Financial Services (Siemens), a leading provider of asset-finance solutions in the UK, has announced its partnership with Belgravium Ltd., leading manufacturers of ruggedized mobile data capture devices. Through its Master Lease solution, Siemens and Belgravium will help companies to streamline the process of approving subleases as and when commissioned.

Their partnership will enable potential and existing users of mobile data capture devices to manage their investments more capably and more effectively. The Master Lease covers all individual leasing requirements operating under a master set of terms and conditions agreed by the client, the lease is used to schedule staged installments. Thanks to its widespread applicability, the Master Lease is ideal for multiple site instal-lations, or customers who intend to make frequent orders, says Mark Hardy, Managing Director, Belgravium. Our partnership with Siemens will allow us to really focus on de-veloping our finance business, offering flexible finance solutions that enable potential customers to purchase better-fit, higher-specification equipment.

Clients who lease their mobile data capture solution through the new Belgravium and Siemens partnership will be able to realize the significant monetary benefits against the cash-purchase alternatives. Hardware, software, installation, training, and maintenance can all be included in one single finance agreement; helping to consolidate the entire cost of the financed solution, and spreading the cost over the life of the investments.

The Master Lease financial solution also allows smaller leases to be added to the mas-ter set of terms and conditions, providing the flexibility for inevitable changes to clients businesses. All additional leases have the ability to run co-terminus, and so are all able to finish on the same date.

Rod Tonna-Barthet, Sales Director, Siemens Financial Services, comments: Bel-gravium are a very successful company and are growing at a tremendous pace. The Master Lease solution enables us to provide Belgravium with a boutique, tailored ser-vice that delivers a best-value, results-driven financial solution. Im delighted that to-gether we are building our relationship and we look forward to working with them in the future.

Belgravium on the prowl
Companies: BVM
05/09/2007

Data capture specialist Belgravium Technologies is eyeing new acquisitions after raising interim pre-tax profits 41 per cent to 1.1 million.

AIM-quoted Belgravium, which has carved out a role in supplying and maintaining efficiency-enhancing and cost-saving data capture systems for warehousing, distribution and petrochemical delivery, increased turnover five per cent to 5.2 million in the first half of the year. The company, which is working to increase the more profitable software licensing part of its business, has been integrating major recent acquisitions and evaluating new areas of expansion, such as community transport and defence.

According to chairman John Kembery, Belgravium, which increased pre-tax profits 88 per cent to 1.8 million last year, expects to enjoy a very profitable second half-year. However, he warns that current uncertainty in financial markets might delay some impending contract awards.

Any new bids would be for cash, he stresses. At 13.75p, down 2.3p today, Belgravium shares have interesting medium- to long-term potential.

Today's sp fall once again proves the old addage buy on the rumour sell on the news!!

No interst 2008?
Well FWIW, the sp is down to a few pennies, = overall Market gloom, which makes me think this "might" soon become a good Buy. I note that earlier this month two directors bought collectively 27k-worth - that's far below my "interest-level" of 50k each!
So I suspect this is them saying: "All is well enough, but not that good...."
- IMHO -
I shall wait a bit longer. Anyone know their Cash position, Share-buybacks ( Grr!), etc.

Any opinions from long-term holders, perhaps?

EDIT, (22Dec08)-
?Maybe something in 2009 - currently abt 2.75p to buy.
EDIT-(1July09), down 10% after some improvement in Market generally, buy=3.5p
EDIT-(March2010)- Looking much the same a year-on...business does not need fancy tech; with zero orders.
