What a fall! Previously well above 50p on the hope that their screens would revolutionise advertising....but whilst it looks a good product it requires careful manufacture and the investment has dropped away, it seems ( DYOR!).
However, it's surprising there is no-one interested (here), since Displays (if they become popular) will result in large sales - however, there is an alternative (leaving aside LED which is a bit grainy - although that could change if an led assembly was made to address the "large-screen" market). I don't know the name sadly, but it is being made in the US by someone like Ricoh - not an enormous player, but large enough...sorry don't know what their technology is either......(oops).
My fear with SCT is that the punters have got themselves excited too soon....if fresh funding is needed it will have to be at a discount to the recent 35p-ish....so I guess they'll go about 25p.....and consequently (uunless Directors chip-in) the Market price will follow for a while.
The funding is needed to make a faster manufacturing machine....the technology appears to be OK and they have some displays out on trial....can't say I was over-impressed, but maybe at 25p, it might be a buying opportunity. At recent c.70p I was wary and whilst it is nice to support technology, it can hurt and this has been demonstrated although somewhat unexpected even by a cynic like me!
. If there is a snag it's two: this new technology could eclipse SCT on size -- - since SCT is fixed as a multiple of 15" "laptop" screens, this is a worry as consumers demand larger screens and once the market moves-on SCT could find sourcing expensive...although now that is a distant issue only. Being fixed as a multiple of 15" is fine.....but if the "new tech" screen was just 10% bigger it would beat SCT into a cocked-hat for "attention" and SCT still has a feint "tiling" effect to master. (DYOR, it may be 16").
I don't hold for the reasons stated, but I might at the right price...it's easy to pay too much...I usually do!

From Results last month:
The conversion of this interest and opportunity into sales has been slower than
expected. The Board believes that this is a consequence of a lack of comparable
products to establish market expectations, "growth pains" of a young and
emerging digital signage market and the natural early adopter reticence with any
revolutionary new product. In addition, Hantarex are behind expected schedule
for the availability of their modular product. Nevertheless the opportunity is
great and ITrans offers a compelling product, so sales growth is expected to be
very significant once early momentum has been achieved.
Product capacity
The Company has established strong trading relationships with Gerresheimer
Wilden in Germany and the Czech Republic, Hantarex in Italy and Shearline in
Ely. Two high speed machines are available for installation over the coming
months as demand comes on stream, one is due to be installed in the Czech
republic and one in Ely. This is a highly scaleable production business model
which enables volume manufacture but controls working capital need. This puts
the business in a position where it can quote for larger orders, the first of
which is now anticipated in early 2008.

Level 2 is still v.positive at 3 v 1 with just LAND on the 2.75 pence offer.
The normal market size seems to have increased with the 25,000 shares trade reported straightaway. That would have been delayed in reporting by 2 hours last week.

problem is no cash
If that is sorted, they will probably multi-bag straight away
If it ain't sorted, they are probably worthless
They only have cash till the year end or so, so they do not have a lot of time left.
I think MTI are going to take them private, which means ord. shareholders could end up with very little. imo.

I think MTI will take it private too, but at well above today's price. I spoke to Tom Jarman at lunchtime and he was able to say they are working very hard to get the product off the ground. Other options like trade and partner support is also being looked at. He was also able to say that they will review where they've got to in 8 weeks time.
IMO if one big sales order comes through then this could easily be a ten bagger.

think they have to review it in 8 weeks time as that is when the cash runs out!
Its a high risk game here, but if there is some good news in the next few weeks you are right, could 10 bag from here no problems.

Level 2 closed at 2 v 1 and real prices closed at 2.06-2.18 pence. IMO we are more less at the bottom with the current mkt capt only reflecting the value of the AIM listing. No value of the business is priced in at these levels. IMO the recent fall has been exaggerated with Schroders selling up and I am still expecting the price to bounce back up strongly to the 5 pence levels even without news as those who were short close their positions buy back stock and on hopes of some orders. If some orders do get announced then 10 pence will come in a flash. Alternatively some outsider could take the company private. High Risk High Reward as things stand!

British Bulls: still a BUY-IF again after today's close.
BUY-IF

Screen Technology Group PLC
Daily Commentary
Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous SELL recommendation was made on 21.09.2007 (31) days ago, when the stock price was 8.5000. Since then SCT has fallen -73.53% .
The BUY-IF alert is still valid. A confirmation today however is denied. The pattern is not rejected yet since the day was not a long black candlestick one.

Very good volume today and the price is now poised for some good gains during rest of this week. A double bottom formation has completed at 2.30 pence. IMO the price should get to 5-6 pence even without any news in the coming days. Any good news should on funding or sales should propel the share price to double figures. Level 2 closed at 1 v 1 and more importantly LAND have moved of the offer (the MM who had surplus stock). All the other MMs have taken positions above 3 pence on the offer. Chart + indicators are also nicely poised!
