The main points at the Year end results were:
* Strong cash position: $55.2 m and no borrowings (2001: $56.6m)
* Significant R&D program maintained
* General and administrative overheads reduced by 37% - in line with strategy
* Awarded an exclusive contract with a leading regional Bell operating company in H2
* Won first major contract for VOIP platform in the US

The company is increasing its presence in several markets which have substantial potential, including the Far East and despite the recent decline in revenues, they are now serving more customers in more countries than ever before.

Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive has ensured the company is debt free and cash rich. He has kept a tight control on expenditure and been very smart as to whom he chose to do business with.

The high speed Internet business just taking off and systems have to be upgraded to take up high data load and telcos simply need equipment’s made by makers like BATM.

With time, Financial Institutions will seek out companies which represent good value and strong potential in terms of their growth and BATM is one such company.

BATM shares are trading at cash position 8.50p but at half their NAV of 17p, with all this good points, and the trend on the chart is definitely on the up since the start of April, time to get on board. Dates -- News

Selected as a hot stock for 2006 at S M........

SHARES MAGAZINE -- THURSDAY 15TH DECEMBER 2005

The Cover Story:
*15 Hot Stocks: -
PartyGaming (PRTY.L) - Man Group (EMG.L) - Daily Mail (DMGT.L) -
Invensys (ISYS.L) - Babcock (BAB.L) - Corus (CS.L) - Alizyme (AZM.L) - Imagination Technologies (IMG.L) -
BATM Advanced (BVC.L) - Reed Health (RHG.L) - Walker Cripps (WCW.L) -
Eleco (ELCO.L) - Victoria Oil and Gas (VOG.L) -
Minster Pharma (MPM.L) - GW Pharma (GWP.L).

I think BATM will have an excellent 2006 and the recent large contract win (probably Nokia) will help visibility in earning more contracts, which should have a quicker effect on the bottom line.

Something appears afoot. Large volume and sp up approx. 10%. Failing that, a realisation that this is still very cheap.

Rumours of a link up with Microsoft....

evrytime wall st falls, this 1 goes with it, was going great guns again today, cant break 38p at the mo

Absolute disaster buying these. Poor peforming stock since I bought them!!

Depends when you bought them - I wouldn't be too concerned with today's move.

A negative review apparently in Investech which states that there is a slightly negative outlook through the medium to long term according to a poster on iii. I'm out because the mucking around of the spread will see BVC go nowhere!!

i got out at 35.5p a few days ago for a fair profit, might buy back in if it goes below 30p which might be possible

What a daft share this is. It moves up and down on AT trades and not buy and sells.

Good news from BVC but seeming as it only affected by AT trades it will go nowhere with the spread it has

Some very good trades went through the ticker today, large ones by the way
and had push the volume high with the share price rising ahead of results on Wednesday.

Just note all at diferent times but the same price:
115K at 35.5p
300K at 35.5p
117K at 35.5p
250K at 35.5p
500K at 35.5p

but later
250K at 36p
250K at 36p

This are Institutions buying at a fixed price till MMs said now pay 36p

Hope I am right and this helps

Talk about disillusioned. Lost all the gains of yesterday on basically hardly any volume. What will happen tomorrow is anyones guess but I expect nothing when BVC is concerned!!

Well that was a damp squib, failed to deliver yet again so no point in holding these any longer. Poor very poor!!

I selected BVC today on the "UPS" thread........

Category - UPS
Nickname - Master RSI
Epic - BVC
Mid - 26.375p
Reason - The volume is improving today with hardening price on the bid, now is time to take a dip ahead of results next week, that from the sales on the various contracts should be very good. A very positive L2 on the order book just now

This another cool company for long term investors. shame that i have a modest amount of shares. Best luck to big holders.

The turn around has been achieved, as everything is looking very good so far.....

marked by a return to profitability and the business relationships that we have
established and built upon provide a substantial underpinning of our prospects
for future growth.

"We are encouraged by these favorable results and look forward to a continuation
of our renewed, profitable, strong growth into the second half of this year and
beyond."

A very good sets of Results were everything aim for the last few years is now achieved "PROFITABILITY"
That was mainly due to the contracts announced lately and able to produce a set of results, were from sales to EPS have been better
The cash point most investors were interested were also in line with predictions after the Adquisition

There is growth it seems for the 2nd half and beyond according to the CE, so all and all very encouraging
"Our balance sheet remains strong with cash of $45.4m (H1 2005: $47.1m). The
majority of the decrease in cash compared to last year resulted from our
investment of approximately $1.8 million in Metrobility Optical Systems"
