A recent aquisition for Intelliplus Group plc and new contracts for this company are coming in thick and fast. Result - share price is consistently heading north - Up 46% since 1/10. Perhaps one to quietly be a ten bagger over the next few months. DYOR

LOL

This purchase by Herald Invt must be good for the share price surely? This stock has not done much for a couple of weeks.

Not sure what the results will be like when it comes out in a couple of weeks. Anyone any ideas?

Herald Investment Trust are obviously expecting good results otherwise it would be rather foolhardy to buy this close to the results date.

ticker, I think the 1.75mln buy of Herald Inv is part of the strategy of ETQ to fund a vigorous publicising, marketing and sales campain of the stand alone portable Nightingale UVGI units.

As perhaps you may know, ECK's management want to get the Nightingale out in the market and being used as quickly as possible. Hence the reason they focused on the two stand-alone portable models first.

The cost of upgrading an existing air conditioning system in large buildings e.g. hospitals etc., would mean an extremely long lead-in time for the budgets for these types of contracts to be approved. This is because it is not just a simple matter of adding the filters to the air conditioning ductwork system but also to lower the position of the air extraction inlet and sanitised air outlet grills from ceilings to extracting air from floor level and deliver sanitised air at desk / standing zone of a room. Therefore, it would be sometime before sales for UVGI filters in existing air-conditioned systems for public, commercial & industrial buildings would show to build-up. New buildings in the future may well be designed to incorporate the Nightingale UVGI filters in new air conditioning systems but this will not happen overnight.

In the mean time, the stand-alone portable Nightingale UVGI filters are an immediately effective air sanitation unit that can work alongside air conditioning systems or on their own. These units give ETQ & UVGI a much faster route into the market and show its products effectiveness. The unit which will be on trial with NHS sometime next month will mean that relative quickly they will not just be accredited by Porton Down 'Dstl' but also by the U.K. public health authorities.

UVGI believe that the first companies to buy & make use of the filters is the Food Processing and Co's in industry, Insurance Co's in commerce & Passenger Cruise Lines Co's in Travel/Leisure industry.

I would have thought that it is near to the time UL labs in USA will have completed tests and accredited with approvals for entering that market. Certainly I think the City has some knowledge and confidence in this coming to fruition and news of this could be any time but are waiting for this to come out before the share price will begin to head north.

Legins,

a little late night confusion over ETQ and ECK me thinks? Given that i also own both it was interesting for me but perhaps baffling for others. worth reposting on th eother board though.... I took the liberty of doing this for you

global nomad

Thanks for your post GN. I was rather confused when I started to read Legins recent post.

Anyhow, I still think ECK is a good company with excellent products. I will hold onto my shares for the time being.

Any other supporters out there?

i alao holding ECK

Thanks guys, yes I,ve posted my last post on the wrong thread - late at night and not concentrating on what I've been doing. Sorry for the confusion, I'll repost this in the right place. However, I do hold ECK & ETQ, both of which are long term plays and start with E.

My appologies, especially after a pint to many.

is it still looking good?

Red hot penny shares this week,say buy.

I take it from your post roma that perhaps these guys think the results will be good.

Lots of activities today, volume is pretty high. Can anyone with L2 tell me the two big trades of 1m+ shares whether it was a buy or sell?

Thanks

Not sure whether to buy some of this stock before the results. Their website is pretty impressive.

Care to comment?

Eckoh Technologies and BT extend their
Speech Recognition Alliance to December 2006


Eckoh Technologies plc ('Eckoh'), one of Europe's leading speech application
service providers, and BT, one of the world's leading suppliers of
telecommunications services, today announced that they are extending their
alliance to provide BT's customers with advanced speech recognition technology.

The original 2-year agreement, which commenced in January 2003, provides BT with
a range of products developed by Eckoh to target companies in sectors such as
government, finance, utilities, retail, IT and travel and leisure. The Alliance
provides a dedicated, managed service infrastructure operated by Eckoh and
installed in a BT facility, which is one of the largest self-service call
processing platforms worldwide.

In September 2003 the companies announced a 2-year contract with TD Waterhouse,
and have since secured other significant business, demonstrating a strong new
business pipeline. As a result of these successes, and to give customers
confidence in the long term, both parties have agreed to extend their agreement
by a further 2 years until the end of 2006. Under the terms of the agreement,
revenues generated by customers of the Alliance are shared by both parties on a
variable basis.

Nik Philpot, Chief Operating Officer of Eckoh Technologies, commented:

'Over the past year we have worked extremely hard developing a strong team and
close working relationship with BT which has created the right platform from
which to develop our Alliance. It is therefore immensely satisfying only midway
through our agreement to be able to point to a profitable venture which is being
extended because of its early success. We remain committed to Eckoh becoming the
market leading hosting provider for Speech Solutions and having a longer term
contract with BT undoubtedly brings us closer to delivering on that strategy.'

Andy Hill, head of Voice Commerce, BT Global Services, said: 'Our relationship
with Eckoh Technologies has enabled BT to provide an effective platform for the
delivery of hosted advanced speech solutions to our business customers. Early
wins with this exciting proposition have demonstrated the significant impact
that well-designed speech applications can have in transforming businesses
operations, and have truly proven the hosted model.'

large corporations and organisations using ASR (Advanced Speech Recognition) and
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) technologies. It is a leading UK service

In January 2003, Eckoh signed a landmark deal to create an exclusive speech
alliance with BT to provide hosted speech recognition solutions to their
corporate client base over the next 2 years. This contract was then subsequently
extended until December 2006. A two-year contract with TD Waterhouse for a
speech recognition share check service was announced by BT and Eckoh in October
2003.

In June 2003 Eckoh enlarged its call processing infrastructure to 7,000 lines
(capable of handling 500,000 calls an hour) by installing another platform into
