Service power looks like to have turned the corner (SVR)     

gordon geko - 19 Jul 2005 12:04

Thought I would start a fresh thread as the other title doesnt insipre me anymore

Brief

They are at half year 83% of the way toward achiving last years turnover
looking to get closer to break even that previously forecasted and recently
annouce new deals and more in the pipleine and directors buying again

so share price has risen from the 25p bottom by 10p in just over 10 days
ie 40% RHPS still tipping them to go to 80p in their opinion so some exposure
and with results due in september could get back to the 50p level before the
profit warning

Everything looks great,pity I did'nt see the golden cross on July 4 when this rally kicked off.
IMHO the sp could reach 50p as the chart looks good,with momentum the highest it has been for two years when the sp last reached that level.However,if something awful happens re terror attacks in U.K. then it would'nt be worth it for a cautious investor to buy into this at the later stage of the rally with maybe 10p profit in mind.
I shall certainly keep this on my radar....thankyou for pointing this out,Gordon.

SERVICEPOWER TECHNOLOGIES PLC

('SERVICEPOWER' OR THE 'Company')

New Products Launch Update

ServicePower, the recognised market leader in artificial intelligence based,
field service scheduling solutions and computer services, today announced an
update on the commercial launch of a new suite of mobile products.

The Company informed the Stock Exchange on 7th June it had signed a contract
with a major U.S. mobile communications company to provide software
applications for sale to independent service companies across the U.S. The
three-year contract with Nextel Communications Inc. allows Nextel to sell and
invoice for ServicePower's mobile software applications as part of the
subscribers monthly phone bill. Nextel have bundled voice minutes, a data plan,
an attractive option for purchasing a state of the art phone and the
SERVICEMobility application into a single highly cost competitive monthly
charge. The Company is pleased to announce the formal commercial launch of the
service took place at the National Electrical Servicers Dealers Association
(NESDA) trade convention in Orlando Florida on 27th July 2005. The services
will be branded as 'Field Service in a Box'.

Nextel is a leading supplier of mobile phone services to the major appliance
and consumer electronics service community in the USA. The Company believes
that the package will be highly attractive to existing Nextel users and will
also be compelling to attract new customers not currently using Nextel.

The first application to be released is the electronic despatch of service jobs
to a mobile phone, with instant accept/reject capability providing a
manufacturer the visibility and control over the despatch of service jobs
previously only available from corporate enterprise-wide software applications.

Further modules in the SERVICEMobility suite to be launched later this year
include GPS tracking of the phone, optimisation of a full day of work, GPS
tracking of the truck and turn-by-turn directions, drawing schematics and
credit card processing all to the phone. Pricing for the applications will
range from $9.99 to $24.99 per month for individual or packaged combinations
that the Directors believe is very competitive.

The applications will initially be targeted at the 60,000 independent servicers
already signed up to receive work from ServicePower, and Nextel has trained
sales staff across the U.S. to lead the sales campaign. In the future the
applications will be sold more widely to the independent service companies, of
which the Directors estimate there to be more than two million technicians in
companies of less than five technicians in the U.S. The Directors believe this
huge un-tapped market represents a significant growth opportunity for the
Company. More information can be found at
http://www.servicepower.com/intro/

trade-press-releases.shtml

David Brisco, ServicePower's CEO commented 'Typically, our enterprise customers
have gained over 15 percent productivity which equates to two or three extra
jobs per week from using our scheduling technology. SERVICEMobility offers the
small to medium sized service company the same benefits that large field
service organizations have realized for years, in terms of greater efficiencies
and reduced cost. We are focused on helping the two million technicians it is
believed work for Servicers with less than five technicians to become more
profitable. By providing tools such as SERVICEMobility, the Servicers will
ultimately save money, receive more work from manufacturers, retailers and
third party administrators and sustain their businesses by providing superior
customer service.

Chart is looking a mite toppy just now after a good run up, but yesterday's and any future good news should help it consolidate around the 36-38p level without losing much ground, whilst the 50dma golden crosses the 200dma before moving onwards and upwards in the run up to the interims in September when it could hit 50p, but probably not. This is more a sure but steady share.

January's 36p peak should now act as a support level and the next assault will be on September's 42p peak. If we convincingly conquer the Jan 2004 54p peak in the run up to Xmas we will be doing fine. Anything faster and I would be looking to sell out at any obviously overbought peak and buy back in as it fell back through the 25dma to safer territory.

Legins - 28 Jul 2005 22:02 - 7 of 29

stockdog, your comments re the SP are a very interesting read, but whilst you think the "Chart is looking a mite toppy" for SVR, two of the most common and reliable indicators MACD & RSI when used in conjunction with moving averages and overlaid on this chart seem to disagree with your view and suggests the SP should continue to see a steady rise at least for the time being. These indicators also suggest atm that SVR's recent contract news with very large US companies have impressed the MM's.

Nextel Communications Inc's 'Field Service in a Box' looks to be an extremely low cost & effective solution for engineers and contractors thus saving them hours of time in communicating with their suppliers of works orders and sucessfully completing the tasks on time and therefore extremely good value for money for this product/service using SVR's software to manage logistics. In my view this will ensure a rapid takeup and a healthy cash flow position with an increasing monthly revenue stream in the next 3 yrs and beyond for SVR.

stockdog - 28 Jul 2005 22:56 - 8 of 29

Well, Legins, I'm interested in your views as an aid to developing my interpretation of chart indicators. My readings were as follows:-

SP - a sharp rise over the last 4 weeks - how long can it continue unbroken

MA's - heading purposelyfully north, a good strong sign over the mid term

Bolinger - we have been hugging the upper coastline of this overlay, now dipping below its confines, but still well above middle ground

MACD -we have been in stong positive territory, but the faster line is just poised to dip down below the slower line, indicating a change in sentiment

Slow Stochastic - the faster line has just cut down through the slower line as both prepare to fall from above 80 to more moderate realms

RSI - we have cavorted above 70 for 2-3 weeks in overbought territory, although we seem imminently to return to less exuberant waters

On balance volume is chortling away above its 20dma - onwards and upwards

So all looking a bit toppy except the ma's and the last one, but, as I said, if good news keeps flowing we will not see a dip but a consolidation at the present level until the above indicators lose some of their ardour and return to cooler climes.

Any help with my probably erroneous interpretations is more than welcome.

I remain a firm holder and can wait for 50p till Xmas quite happily.

looking forward to results next week think they are wednesday

stockdog - 23 Sep 2005 20:28 - 10 of 29

can't help reflecting - legins 0, stockdog 1 on the prediction for the SP since end July - not that I took any advantage. lol!

Here's hoping the interims put a bit fo fire back under the SP. I have them down for Wednesday along with ARX and EEN - keenly awaited also.

2m revenue in 2006 contract update

New Contract Update

ServicePower, the recognised market leader in artificial intelligence based,
field service scheduling solutions and computer services, today announced an
update on the rollout of the US Digital TV contract (USDTV).

The Company reported, in September 2004, the roll out of the USDTV service
across the US had stalled due to a delay to the second-round funding. The
Company is pleased to announce that a $26 million second round funding has now
been completed and the USDTV service will be re-launched in September 2005. The
funding agreement with an investment group that includes Fox Television
Stations, Hearst-Argyle McGraw-Hill Broadcasting and others, provides funding
and strategic support to expand its low cost, all-digital, 'over-the-air'
alternative to cable.

ServicePower will continue to provide exclusive installation and other services
to USDTV in the existing three markets in Salt Lake City, Albuquerque and Las
Vegas. In November USDTV plans to launch in Dallas followed by a further 8
cities by the end of 2006. Plans are in place, but not yet funded to, to
rollout to a further 22 cities in the years 2007-2010 with a target to achieve
a total 8.1 million subscribers. If this rollout plan is achieved the Directors
expect ServicePower to invoice more than 2 million revenue in 2006 and
substantially more each year thereafter.

Note: ServicePower refers to the company and SERVICEPower refers to the
product.

stockdog - 28 Sep 2005 11:40 - 14 of 29

Results look as expected - pretty promising at first glance and the market seems to be holding steady.

I've got so used to knee-jerek sell on results over the last few days, I was braced for a dive today, but no I am confounded.

greasepaint - 05 Oct 2005 13:30 - 15 of 29

stockdog - 24 Feb 2006 17:01 - 19 of 29

Nice RNS re deal with Genereal Electric and not a dicky bird on the price, except the offer goes up a 1p to widen the spread and 3 largish sells meander through. When is this share going to wake up as promised by TB on RHPS?

Should I go or should I stay - got better places for my cash haven't I?

sd

greasepaint - 01 Mar 2006 19:21 - 20 of 29

yubba yubba do. Another contract safely tucked away.

stockdog - 01 Mar 2006 19:50 - 21 of 29

When will this be reflected in the SP - been very patient for some time now?

Oh this MUST be the ten bagger of the year I definitely am going to make a $billion from this, what a goer
