Oh deary, Seeing m/c chairman steps down and there is no explanation, - or replacement (a board member steps in-DYOR),
This was ann. at the AGM held in Canbera - that's about as far away as you can get from their AIM-listing, and puts a BIG question-mark over their strategy.

- I would have thought their Market was UK/Eur/US, so that's a GOOD reason for having their meetings in London (where many of their Investors will have access, inc. journalists!).

SP dropped 17% on the News....

EDIT (7Feb2012)- Recent RNS says Canadian Investor is holding 6% - but sp fell today, now 2.75p - not looking good, Eh?
EDIT (8Jn2012)- 15% down, today at 2.13p . . . . Trend/friend?
EDIT (11Dec2014) _ looks like5 Dec14 placing at 5.5p was oversubscribed.( sp today~ 5p7 ).
EDIT (3June2015) - 4p5 isn't exactly good news.
EDIT(21July2015)- sp 5.6 after Rec. in MOS and Co ann. deal with US auto maker to make their driver-alert kit available . . . . may be good idea for HGVs but the Market isn't impressed with deals - only Sales..
EDIT (21Sept2015)--sp 4.5p it's half that at the start of 2014 DYOR - if you include dealing costs, you've probably lost more than 60% - this isn't for me as I understand it's an Australian business, so why no AGMs in London?
EDIT (20Dec2016)-sp ~4.5p - - - Posters obv. like this Co... Just wonder if "driverless cars/lorries" will spook Automotive sales? . . . but new tech could take more than 10years to blow-away drivers' jobs.
EDIT(10Nov2017)-now 5p5 spiked to 6p on collaboration news - far too early for income.... expect fall-back.
EDIT (16Feb2018)-sp 5p looks like a fall-back happened.... now about half-=price compared with previous spike to 10p+ I'm just not sure that "driverless" will blow-away this business, which appear to be a Retro-but-similar. Given that the likes of Uber, and countless others making vehicles, I fear the money is in the "whole-thing" rather than the camera-parts. Time will tell.

Results of Australian Offer and Overseas Offer

Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE), the AIM listed technology company with a focus on operator monitoring and intervention sensing technologies and services, announces that, further to its announcement on 4 December 2014, it has finalised the Australian and Overseas Offers (the "Offer") and raised £570,600 (approximately $1.05 million) through the issue of 10,378,188 new Ordinary Shares (the "Offer Shares") at a price of 5.5 pence (or 10 Australian cents) per Ordinary Share to eligible Seeing Machines Shareholders and Depositary Interest holders. The Offer follows an earlier successful raising of £5.7 million from new and existing institutional investors, as announced on 4 December 2014.

The net proceeds of the Offer will provide the Company with working capital and further flexibility to pursue its six-sector business strategy, in particular to accelerate its engagement with a growing list of global car makers as well as launching a new product for the commercial transport market.

Demonstration at Consumer Electronics Show

At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held last week in Las Vegas, Seeing Machines demonstrated its next-generation driver monitoring system (DMS) in a modified Jaguar F-TYPE on the Intel stand. The prototype DMS was jointly developed with Takata and Jaguar Land Rover. The DMS uses attention-monitoring sensors to detect eye and facial movements so it can identify if the driver has become inattentive, either due to drowsiness or distraction. The interactive demonstration of the Company's technology at CES generated extremely positive responses from the automotive and silicon industries as well as the broader technology sector.

As previously announced, Seeing Machines is working with its partner Takata to develop driving monitoring system technology for automotive OEMs, with one OEM contracted and others in various stages of technology assessment and commercial discussions. The Company will make further announcements if and when it secures contracts, through Takata, for additional OEMs.

Further information on the CES demonstration can be found at http://www.seeingmachines.com/investors.

Admission of Offer Shares

Application has been made for the Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on or about 15 January 2015.

Following the admission of the Offer Shares, the Company will have 940,978,309 Ordinary Shares on issue, all of which will carry voting rights. This figure may be used by shareholders of the Company as the denominator for calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or change to their interest in, the ordinary share capital of the Company.

Half Year Results to 31 December 2015

Record revenue and profit results, driven by Caterpillar licensing deal

7 March 2016

Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE) the AIM listed vehicle operator monitoring technology company, is pleased to release its unaudited financial results for the six months to 31 December 2015.

Key Points:

Financial

· Business revenue for the half year increased by 594% to A$29.3 million (December 2014: A$4.2 million) driven by the Caterpillar licensing fee of A$21.8 million
· Sales and service revenue increased by 76% (A$7.4 million compared to A$4.2 million for 2014)
· Mining industry sales increased by 6% to A$5.7 million, despite ongoing challenging market conditions
· Fleet revenue of A$681,484 for the half year
· Profit for the half year increased to A$11.2 million (December 2014 net loss of A$4.3 million), reflecting the one off Caterpillar licensing fee
· Cash at 31 December 2015 decreased to A$10.2 million (30 June 2015: A$14.2 million) mainly as a result of the increase in R&D activities and building out the working capital requirements for the fleet business.

Operational Highlights - Automotive

· As separately announced today, the Company has secured a follow on order to deliver a second generation driver monitoring system (DMS) to a global car maker, in partnership with Takata. This order follows the successful development of a first generation system for the same manufacturer, expected to launch this year in 2017 models. The second order is expected to deploy DMS technologies into more than ten, higher-volume, 2018 vehicle models.
· DMS technology is becoming a key component for semi-autonomous driving systems, with ongoing discussions at various stages with 13 other car makers.
· As previously announced, the Company is working on further strategic and commercial options to maximise the value of this very large market opportunity and capture more automotive business more quickly to maximise returns for our shareholders. This work has recently accelerated, with the Company appointing external advisors based in Palo Alto, USA, to advise the Board on how to optimise our structure and best fund and execute these plans. The Board and management also continue to take into account feedback and requirements from car manufacturers and the automotive supply market.
· Based on the strong market interest and advice we are receiving, the Board and management are currently working on a plan that includes developing and selling a propriety automotive hardware module containing the Company's driver monitoring engine software, rather than purely licensing its software. We believe this will enable the Company to capture a greater share of the revenue and margin in the automotive ADAS market.
· The Company is also investigating the option of executing these plans through a to-be established, separately-funded company, solely focused on the automotive industry. If the Company pursues this option, we expect to retain a significant equity stake. The Company and its advisors are in discussions with potential investors and strategic partners for this opportunity. The Company has not entered any binding commitments in respect of these funding plans and there is no guarantee that these plans will be realised. The Company will keep shareholders informed if and when these activities result in binding agreements.

Other Operational Highlights

· Continued to execute our strategy of commercialising our technology in multiple global industries: mining and rugged off-road industries; commercial fleets; road vehicles; rail and aerospace.
· Secured a global product development, licensing and distribution agreement with Caterpillar. Caterpillar will market Seeing Machines' DSS and Fleet products for in-cab operator fatigue and distraction monitoring, across multiple industries (mining, construction, cement, quarry, forestry and marine). In return for exclusive rights to our technology in their fields, Caterpillar pays Seeing Machines a license fee of A$21.85 million over four years, all of which has been recognised as revenue in the current period, plus ongoing royalties.
· Caterpillar is currently working with Seeing Machines to develop their first Cat branded DSS product and are contracting Seeing Machines' DSS manufacturer to restock their DSS hardware inventory.
· Successful deployment of Fleet units to Insurance Underwriting Managers' commercial fleet customers in South Africa, and accelerating Fleet assessments in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the U.S.
· Plan to launch an enhanced Fleet Product in March which includes a Forward Facing Camera.
· Our in-cab operator fatigue and distraction technology is being trialled in locomotives by two rail customers in North America.
· Worked with Samsung to develop and demonstrate the world's first eye-tracking enabled heads-up-display (HUD) on a car windshield, on Samsung's transparent OLED display technology at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
· Agreement to sell our shares in our joint venture company in Chile back to our original distribution partners, as part of the transition of the DSS business to Caterpillar.

Ltd. (VSIV), a leading integrated electronics manufacturing services provider (the "Placing"), subject to admission to trading on AIM.

* A total of 129,654,000 new ordinary shares in the Company (the "Placing Shares") have been placed with VSIV, at an issue price of 5.199 pence per share, which is a premium of 20% to the Company's 30-day volume-weighted average market price ended 16 March 2016. VSIV's interest in 129,654,000 shares represents a stake of 12% in the Company's issued share capital following admission of the Placing Shares.

The investment from VSIV will provide the Company with additional working capital to enable it to fund the recently announced automotive programs and ongoing automotive product developments. On 7 March 2016 the Company announced that it had secured a follow-on order for its DMS technology from one of the world's largest automotive manufacturers, in conjunction with tier 1 automotive partner Takata. As previously announced, the Company continues to investigate the option to establish its automotive business as a separately-funded company. The Company and its advisors are advancing discussions with potential strategic investors and industry partners for this opportunity.

V S Industry Berhad is a public listed company in Malaysia and Hong Kong, with over 34 years' experience of multi-product OEM contract manufacturing and electronics manufacturing services. VSI is ranked in the world's top 50 contract manufacturers and counts among its customers or partners, Dyson, Keurig Green Mountain, Zodiac, SMART Technologies, Valeo and Fluidic Energy. The VSI group employs over 11,000 staff and in the 2015 financial year generated revenue of approximately AUD 640 million.

Automotive Business Term Sheet Signed

16 May 2016

Seeing Machines Limited, (AIM: SEE), the AIM listed vehicle operator monitoring technology company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a term sheet with a US-based investment firm with extensive experience in automotive technologies, for investment into a separately funded company solely focused on commercialising Seeing Machines' technology in the automotive market. Seeing Machines would retain a significant equity stake in the new company. The term sheet is non-binding, except for customary legal obligations and due diligence. Seeing Machines and its advisors are working with the lead investor and other investors to finalise the investment round.

Ken Kroeger, Seeing Machines CEO commented: "This continued execution of our multi-sector transport strategy builds on our successful venture with Caterpillar for rugged off-road industries. We believe that spinning out the automotive driver monitoring business will sufficiently resource the automotive business, further develop our automotive industry relationships and maximise the return for Seeing Machines' shareholders."

"Additionally, the Company continues to develop and deliver driver monitoring systems (DMS) for a global car maker, for their first and second-generation DMS platforms, launching first in early 2018 models. The automotive industry requires the highest levels of reliability and this strong continued support confirms Seeing Machines' ability to deliver the automotive industry's requirement for driver monitoring technology."
