Small Aussie company into supercapacitors

Issued statement on 23/10 bemused at share price fall

Stock has since droopped another 15%

Basically I'm guessing institutional seller that got in on ipo needs out no buyers ----- free money for the patient --- 3-6 months if you belive the management that is

As for the business I have no idea :-)

Sydney, Australia – May 18, 2015 – CAP-XX (LSE:CPX), a leading developer of flat supercapacitors for burst and back-up power in space-constrained electronic devices, today launched its Thinline series of single-cell supercapacitors. The world’s thinnest at 0.6mm thick, and with prices starting at less than US$1 in large volumes, Thinline was developed to address the size, weight and cost challenges of designing thin, sometimes disposable electronic devices for the Internet of Things (IoT). Examples include wearables (medical, fitness and health monitors, smart watches, drug delivery systems), portables (active credit cards, smartphones, RFID tags), and connected electronics (smart homes and smart buildings, electronic shelf labels, wireless sensor networks).

To reduce thickness and manufacturing costs, CAP-XX increased the power and energy density in its electrode materials to deliver equivalent performance in about half the volume, and eliminated the folded edges and copper terminals that contribute to thickness in its Standard line supercapacitors. (For comparison, CAP-XX’s thinnest traditional single-cell supercapacitor is 1.10mm.)

CAP-XX supercapacitors benefit from a unique nanotechnology construction that stores electrical charge in engineered carbon electrodes on aluminium foil, to minimize resistance and maximize capacitance (see diagrams at www.cap-xx.com/products/photo-gallery). This unique electrode construction packs the highest energy and power densities possible into thin, prismatic packages.

Supercapacitors are ideal for handling peak power events, supporting batteries and energy harvesters configured to provide low-power current at maximum efficiency. This architecture allows designers to use smaller, cheaper, low-power batteries and extend their run-time and cycle life, or intermittent ambient energy sources such as solar photovoltaic. Supercapacitors are also ideal for ultra-quick device charging and wireless power transfer, and provide the backup needed for graceful shutdown and “last gasp” transmissions in mission-critical applications.

CAP-XX Thinline supercapacitors deliver all these benefits to IoT devices, supporting power requirements for wireless communication (BluetoothTM, Bluetooth SmartTM, ZigbeeTM, Z-WaveTM, AntTM, active RFID), electronic paper and OLED displays, haptic feedback, vibration alerts, GPS acquisition, and injection or inhalation systems.

The idea was born while working with a customer designing a disposable insulin pump. “We figured out how to eliminate materials and change some processes to reduce costs and thickness,” explained Anthony Kongats, CAP-XX CEO. “Thinline works with thin-film, solid-state, and other low power batteries such as coin cells/button cells, energy harvesting modules based on solar, vibration/kinetic, RF, and other ambient energy sources, as well as inductive/wireless and cable/cradle fast-charging systems.”

Support at 4p has hold again

A few days now since moving higher and then down around this 4p price
so it has to be considered a good support line.
the little profit taking it was a good opportunity to buy it seems, as the bid side was strong not long ago sells were 4.06p (some thought were buys ) v 4.09p

spread at the time 4 v 4.10p

Reason why I am in

Supercapacitors bridge power gaps.

If the peak power required to support a function is greater than the average power required by the device, you’ve got a job for a supercapacitor. One ubiquitous example of this is radio frequency transmission. Wireless technology enables billions of consumer and industrial devices, but it can be very power hungry. Everything that connects needs bursts of power to transmit data – power that batteries and other current-limited sources like energy harvesters and USB power supplies often can’t supply, but a supercapacitor certainly can.

And if the primary power supply is subject to failure or fluctuation (like a mains plug being pulled out, a battery running out of charge, or a cloud passing by a solar panel), a supercapacitor can ride through the power gap too, acting as an on-board, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

And if your primary source is an energy harvester, or if you just want a battery-free, fast charging solution, a supercapacitor will function as the energy store, the power supply, and the on-board UPS.

Supercapacitors create advanced power solutions that enable the latest technologies. Discover how CAP-XX provides the power to wireless, consumer, and commercial devices.

It went to 3.75p intraday low today

what someone else think...........
IF it is a pennant it needs to complete and b/o in a maximum of 15 trading days, otherwise it is classed as a triangle. [according to Bulkowski]
needs to hold 3.75 line

The average b/o takes place at 85% of the length of the pennant, therefore CPX sp could b/o from tomorrow, but must do by May 27th or pattern is bust.

re - CPX has been manipulated too much

naturally I have level 2 that I look at it once too often
One can see MMs moving prices without trades and sometimes by 12K trade
PEEL has been on the offer once too often for my take ( not just now) but their latest move was out of touch though there was a small trade with it.
From being all day and weeks at bid or offer, now is on the side lines

the total trades at 4pm ( though not always accurate but I do not see much delayed trades )

buys 4,762,959
sells 3,487,725

but we are well down on the day

edit 26 May chart

3.85p +0.225p
Today is the day for CPX to break from the Pennant pattern downside

The Pennant
The pennant forms what looks like a symmetrical triangle, where the support and resistance trendlines converge towards each other. The pennant pattern does not need to follow the same rules found in triangles, where they should test each support or resistance line several times. Also, the direction of the pennant is not as important as it is in the flag; however, the pennant is generally flat.

Recent Newsflow

On 3 February 2015, CAP-XX announced that it had signed a mutually exclusive
MoU with a North American Global Tier-1 Automotive components company,
initially for the development of products for the North American truck market. The
MoU is for the development of CAP-XX's large automotive supercapacitors for a
standalone system which can serve both original equipment and aftermarket
applications.

On 8 April 2015, CAP-XX announced it had signed a R&D agreement with the
Thales Research Centre. As part of the agreement, Thales has contracted CAP-XX
to evaluate innovative technology developed by Thales and to examine CAP-XX's
own technology according to the requirements of the avionics market. This initial
study is a first step towards the use of supercapacitors that target avionics
applications.

On 29 April 2015, the company announced the launch of its Thinline range, to
address the space constrained needs of new products developed for the IoT. The
range is designed for use in ultra-thin electronic devices, including wearable
devices, such as medical, fitness and health monitors, smart watches, drug delivery

CAP-XX an investment opportunity? - Posted on June 2, 2015

I’ve been interested in CAP -XX for the following reasons.

1) CAP have a patent for the worlds smallest supercapacitor. These are like mini batteries. Please see here for more information.
2) Small company that previously traded at a much higher sp. Believe they have stagnated due to cashflow issues.
3) CAP have a licence agreement with Murata who are currently buying similar type companies. Murata could potentially make a bid for CAP-XX.
4) The timing of the patent for the worlds smallest super capacitor is perfect as product is ideal for wearable technology and IoT (Internet of things). IoT being something we are going to be hearing a lot about.
5)Murata are selling components to Apple for their smart phones. This could be a route into Apple for CAP-XX.
6) It is possible that CAP-XX are currently arranging with Murata for them to mass manufacture their components under licence. The sp should rise when we get an RNS about components being manufactured or a significant announcement about an order.
7) CAP-XX have just received £1m for investment via a placing of new shares at 3.25p. You wouldn’t therefore expect the sp to fall below this level in the near future.

8) CAP-XX have recently become of interest to many private investors. The share price has therefore become more volatile. At the current low share price the opportunity exists for the sp to double in the short-term providing the opportunity to remove original capital whilst retaining an investment the business. This being a strategy I use for risky investments.

This is a speculative investment and the returns will be either significant or zero.

Time is running out to invest in CAP-XX as business is involved in road shows mid June, awareness amongst investors will therefore increase regarding the businesses potential.

The reason for investing now.

The following chart indicates that resistance is strong whilst the support line highlighted suggested that it should be possible to purchase shares at c3.45p. The support line however is getting shallower and shallower.

The sp in May has fallen by 34%. The last two candle sticks however indicate a bearish engulfing pattern suggesting the fall in the sp is about stop and a reversal happen.

Today I invested at 3.44p based on believing this is about as low as the share price will fall. Time will tell if I have made the correct decision and entered at the bottom.

the Fibo 61.8% is working, now positive after being down earlier

DELAYED BY 15 MINUTES

Looking at the 4 days chart, it shown clearly yesterday's marked down to 3,275p was the lowest point and now although not on a strait line should be moving forward.

Nice finished on a down day for the market
consolidating is the name of the game

A few sells earlier with the FTSE well down once again and it could be punters switching to news of Horse Hill-1 Well.

Well some took the opportunity to buy at those low prices and has recovered partly since

Thales sees sales of aircraft entertainment systems up 10 pct
Mon Jun 8, 2015 3:20pm EDT - By Alwyn Scott

MIAMI (Reuters) - Airlines will drive annual sales growth of in-flight entertainment systems by more than 10 percent for several years as they scramble to put better Internet connections on aircraft, the head of Thales' connectivity business told Reuters on Monday.

Travelers increasingly want airlines to provide connectivity on flights that matches what they have at home, Dominique Giannoni, chief executive officer of Thales' InFlyt Experience business, said in an interview at the International Air Transport Association annual meeting in Miami.

People want to watch a movie on an in-seat screen while checking email on a computer tablet and working on a laptop, he said.

"It's multitasking in the air," he said. The Thales unit provides entertainment, Wi-Fi and connectivity systems on aircraft.

The stakes are high for airlines, which can spend hundreds of millions of dollars equipping fleets and want to ensure systems are not quickly outdated.

But airlines also must compete with new systems offered by rivals, meaning they are looking at steep upgrades.

Many current systems provide only limited bandwidth and use in-seat screens that frequently freeze and need rebooting. Customers want fat bandwidth and bigger screens, Giannoni said, fueling growth for Thales, market leader Panasonic Corp and others.

"What is changing our world is the arrival of high-capacity connections on aircraft," he said, noting the growing use of satellite connections from providers such as ViaSat Inc, Iridium Communications Inc and Intelsat SA.

In five to seven years, almost all commercial aircraft will be connected, he predicted. A year ago, only half of the worldwide fleet was expected to be wired by 2020.

For Thales, whose entertainment and connectivity systems are on Boeing Co and Airbus aircraft, demand will soon drive sales above 10 percent a year from the current high single digits, Giannoni said. Industry sales also will rise to more than 10 percent. He expects Thales to gain market share.

Thales does not break out the unit's sales.

Thales is creating modular systems that allow components to be changed to offer a range of configurations and minimize concerns about obsolete technology.

Giannoni predicts premium seats will continue to have large in-seat screens, even as some airlines experiment with phasing screens out of the economy cabin and simply letting travelers use their own smart devices
