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

BREAKOUT

Indeed very large volume. Something looks afoot, I Certainly think we're long overdue a considerable rise higher.

Master RSI and Greyhound re your last posts it seems something is happeng here with this company. Today they notified a change of advisor. This share does seem to be on the verge of a breakout.
Remember DYOR.

After last week results, Investors Ctonical had a comment about BVC.........

BATM has put the telecom industry's recession behind it with a strong return to profitability. And these results are even better than they look, as profit is reported after $2.6m (1.35m) of exceptionals - mostly relating to a write-off on the sale of an investment in Taiwanese ethernet-switch maker Lantech, along with some rationalisation costs after the acquisition of Metrobility.

Sales to Nokia continued to build, as did those to a big, new customer for telecom equipment, Alcatel. Margins have also benefited from increased sales of software products - which is offsetting the fall in the older 'legacy' products - as well as lower research and development costs as operations are moved from the US to Israel and Eastern Europe.

BATM is, too, pushing into new markets, mainly in Asia. So prospects look good this year and even better in 2008. That said, recent restructuring in the telecom sector among the big players still makes for some uncertainty. The forthcoming merger between Nokia and Siemens could, for example, result in Nokia cutting back on equipment orders.

House broker Shore Capital expects pre-tax profits (before exceptionals) of $12.9m in 2007 (from $10.9m in 2006) and EPS of 3.05, rising to $17.9m and 4.01, respectively, in 2008.

A better day for the share price after a bit of going nowhere, but it was due to the share price is on the process on the charting world of shapping for a CUP, so now is on the bottom part rising slowly

On the way of a CUP and Handle pattern
After an uptrend, is common to see a CUP & Handle and eventualy a new BREAKOUT


The Cup with Handle is a bullish continuation
pattern that marks a consolidation period
followed by a breakout.

THE CUP
Shape: The cup should resemble a cup,
meaning it should have a rounded
bottom or U shape; a well-developed
U ensures that there is sufficient support
at the bottom of the cup. Ideally, the
sides of the cup are of approximate
height, but this is not necessarily a
requirement.

Master RSI, let's hope so. It's a long time coming and this hasn't done much in a couple of years. Would like to see the end of the 30's once and for all (on the upside you understand!)

from another thread.........

Master RSI - 26 Apr'07 - 13:26
Look at the chart I made yesterday, and at this price at the other side ( left ) of the CUP there are a few ups and downs 30.50/31.25p, most likely will do the same, just an idea




Master RSI - 1 May'07 - 23:54 - 16959 of 16959 edit
Today's chart share price still on the circle

Ready for February highs once more!

News early this morning and share price on the rise to filled the CUP on the chart .........

BATM signs agreement with major EU telecoms operator

BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LSE: BVC) ("BATM"), a leading designer of
broadband data and telecoms systems, announces that it has signed a long-term
supply agreement with a major European telecoms operator to provide Carrier
Ethernet equipment.

Whilst the contract contains no volume commitments by the telecoms operator,
BATM believes that the agreement is likely to be worth several million US
dollars. Deliveries of equipment are due to commence later this year, with the
majority of the orders expected in 2008 and beyond. In addition to Carrier
Ethernet equipment, BATM will also provide systems support on an ongoing basis.

Dr. Zvi Marom, Chief Executive of BATM, said: 'We are very pleased to have
signed such a prestigious new customer in Europe, and believe that there is
potential for further major agreements.

'Trading in the first quarter of 2007 has been encouraging which provides us
with continued optimism for 2007 and beyond.'

It seems we finally done the BREAKOUT from the APIX on the CUP & HANDLE

As the chart says, the UPtrend is on for the last Year

Selected this morning on the "UPS" thread ......

(Added by Master RSI on Tue 28 Aug 09:27 am)

BVC - Mid 31.125p

Reason - Due for results on a couple weeks (10th September) Order book and volume getting better after some time on the negative side, company said volume up 15% for the 1H, but vey good results for the full Year and 2008 is expected on the Market

Good morning all ,on 1H results day

Not much time to look at them properly yet, so the fisrt impresiton is a good set of results but nothing to set the world alight.

As I said a few weeks ago on the profit forecast, we were a bit to bullish and the results would not reach those high expectations, so that is the case today as the results came out.

It seems everything is higher than last year, and that includes the admistration cost.

RESUME of the Figures

On sales UP 16% the company managed to increased Gross profit by 30%, this represent they managed better margings 46% ( 42% ), once taking higher administrative charges and a written off from Lynnx that gives Pretax were UP by 27% to $5.7M and then a higher tax 8.2% ( 5% ) gives a final EPS up 21% or 1.33c ( the most important figure for calculations of PE )

On having a closer look at the figures I am finding some bull points aswell as some bear ones

Positive
Company continues to grow at a decent pace EPS of 21%
Margins also increasing
New contracts have been won recently
Cash positions are increasing despite some larger R & D

Negative
The 1H sales did not increased as much as expected
Once again another write off
Cash balances did not increased as much as should have been only $1.56M ( pretax profit were $5.7M )

No much happening today apart from sales.

But I managed to make another chart were the UPTREND of the last Year is still on

RESUME OF THE last 4 years chart

We still are on UPTREND but what it worries me is we did not had a breakout from the high of early January 2006, despite good results recently and a string of orders for the future.

The downtrend would be on moving under 26p. The rest is on the chart

I knocked this one on the head some time back now, but don't doubt that at some time in the future it will come good. I just think there are better opportunities to make money rather than tie it up for years in the ISA. Even just putting money in Rio Tinto this year will have seen much better performance.

The chart is really looking in a bad shape over the last 9 month
On breaking under the 30.50p, is consider as DOWNTREND
