Dunskey, most certainly and thats why I keep pointing out this deal is massive.
A lot of investors and analysts I have to say, just havent caught on yet what this means but they will.

cheers GF.

GF,I like you am convinced but wonder how long a 28m market cap can survive surely one of the big players in this market will whip them off the table for 50-100m.

Have the company given any indication of how they see the revenue build up from this contract? Can you tell me what city analysts cover this stock.

ps bt more!

I note that Investors Chronicle give a highlighted section to Datacash this week and that is before they will have had time to digest the pre-close trading statement.The good news since the turn of the year should insure that Datacash is significantly re-rated by the year end.

Datacash shares lifted by improved trading outlook
By Astrid Wendlandt

Online retailers are growing at a much faster rate than their bricks-and-mortar rivals but they are starting from a much lower base, according to Datacash Group, the internet payment services provider.


The group, which expects to report a narrowing of pre-tax losses for 2003, said online shopping was expanding at an annual rate of 44 per cent while "traditional retailing" was growing at only 0.6 per cent, quoting statistics from Interactive Media in Retail Group, the trade body.

An improved trading outlook revealed in a pre-close statement lifted the company's shares by more than 14 per cent, or 8p, to 65p. They have been steadily climbing from a low of 18p in November 2002.

The company said it expected improvements in retail websites to continue fuelling growth in 2004. However, Datacash stressed that internet shopping was still relatively small as it made up only 2-3 per cent of total retail spending in the UK, up from 0.5 per cent in 2000.

David Bailey, chairman, said: "The online experience is much better than it was a year ago as many retailers have revamped and upgraded their sites."

It said it was now processing payments with a monthly value of more than 200m for customers such as B&Q, Boots and Homebase. However, it said its largest customers were gaming companies such as Ladbrokes and Betfair.com, which generated more than 65 per cent of transactions.

It said it had become the first UK payment service provider to have adopted a new technology called 3-D Secure Transaction - the online equivalent of the high street's chip and pin service, promoted by Mastercard and Visa, that will be introduced in January 2005.

cheers GF.

I expect this one to go higher this week and continue its recent good run.

cheers GF.

Lifted from another board re- growth company tip this weekend.

DataCash - BUY (66.75p)

Tipped as a buy on these pages a year ago at 26.75p, DataCash has justified
our faith with its steady share price performance and a healthy pre-close
trading update. Formerly known as Auxinet, the company changed its name in
June as it became focused purely on payments processing. Calendar 2003 was a
good year - pre-goodwill pre-tax profits came in at more than 700,000, a
resounding result given the 391,000 loss recorded in 2002. The year-end
cash balance 'more than doubled' from the 666,000 figure a year earlier.
David Bailey, the chairman, flagged up impressive transaction growth,
especially in the fourth quarter, buoyed by new deals with high street
retailers. Furthermore, online retailers are growing at a quicker pace than
their bricks and mortar peers - 44% annually against just 0.6% for
traditional retailing. Investors can expect more growth this year, as retail
websites sharpen up in terms of quality, online buying becomes more secure
and reliable, and broadband services burgeon. Intriguingly, this company
scored a notable success as the first UK payment service provider to process
a '3-D Secure' transaction. This is a protocol promoted by MasterCard and
Visa mirroring the high street's chip and PIN initiative that will be
implemented in January 2005. We reiterate our buy stance.

cheers GF.

We bottled out and couldn't say no to the quick profit on a closing deal. After such a sudden rise I expect some profit taking, esp as stock recommended at 52p (ish) a few months ago and has done little of substance since then until recent rise. Historically the two previous rises have been follwed by a fall and this last rise may be no different.

Minx, this time around, the rises are on the back of news releases that reinforce the notion that Datacash might well be gaining a dominant foothold in the UK for debit/credit card transactions security ultimately replacing the need for signatures by customers even in "cardholder present" transactions. They are the first to use 3D secure technology being developed in conjunction with Mastercard/Visa. First mover advantage in such a large marketplace could pay off handsomely IMHO. However, please DYOR, as always!

Datacash have won the contract for transactions made through the Government Gateway (see article below) - this is the central hub for transacting with and within the public sector i.e. the central hub for the Government's Modernising Government programme/eGovernment. Interestingly, the Government Gateway is built using two theologically oppposed architectures - J2EE and ASP. SchlumbergerSema built the ASP version of the Gov Gateway using Microsoft BizTalk Server, and I'd be keen to know who built the J2EE version and whether Datacash could win the contract for this piece as well????? Either way a prestigious contract win for Datacash. Decent tip GF.

DataCash rolls out payments solutions for Government Gateway
Date: Tuesday 13 January 2004

DataCash, the UK's leading payment services provider, today announced it has been appointed by SchlumbergerSema, the Information Technology business segment of Schlumberger Limited, to supply its outsourced solutions for the Cabinet Office's Government Gateway.

SchlumbergerSema provides systems integration and managed services for the Government Gateway and, in order to procure those services, has contracted DataCash to provide its card and direct debit payment services.

The Government Gateway is a secure, resilient hub that provides a single point of contact for citizens to access UK Government information via the Internet. The Gateway links to individual departments, local authorities and trusted portals. It is an important part of the government's strategy of delivering 'joined up' government, enabling people to communicate and make transactions with government from a single point of entry.

A number of government organisations are already available online through the Gateway including DEFRA, DWP, DARDNI, DTI, HM Customs and Excise, Inland Revenue, and LRNI.

One of the key business drivers in the latest release of the Government Gateway was the need to support all combinations of payment from citizens to government, business to government and intra government.

DataCash has been selected to provide the secure, outsourced, payments technology that supports the Gateway's ability to take and process payments made by credit and debit card as well as direct debit and direct credit.

Derek Ward, managing director for public sector at SchlumbergerSema, said, "The DataCash solution meets the needs of the Cabinet Office providing a secure, reliable and easy to use online payment mechanism. SchlumbergerSema has worked closely with DataCash to integrate the solution seamlessly into the existing infrastructure and deliver this new functionality to the Government Gateway on time and to budget."

Gavin Breeze, Business Development Director, DataCash said, "We are delighted to have been selected to provide the outsourced payment solutions behind the Gateway. We deliver a robust, scalable, highly secure service capable of processing what we anticipate will be a rapidly expanding volume of payment transactions. DEFRA was the first department to go live with our system and we look forward to working closely with both SchlumbergerSema and the Cabinet Office as we roll out the solution to government departments and local authorities."

Up again today and not far of the brokers 75p conservative target.
