I just looked £3.4Million. Given their cash burn they will probably have a fund raise. Back to watching. Save my money for the grand national in Apr, better odds
Bold claim. Is that just a feeling. Sounds like year 2000 all over again when tech stocks kept running out of cash. Do yo know how much they have left.
Unrivalled Technology in addition to the potential Trump wall, multibagging is just a matter of time.
Maybe holders are tired of waiting for profits from all this business we hear about. Best estimates I've found seem to be break even two years away. Needs to fall a bit for me to consider a buy. I keep looking but 60million market cap is too high while still losing money in my opinion.
'Past' month.
Know that there was heaving buying around the 40p mark and have made a steady effort to take this down - no trades this morning and down 1.5% - similar pattern over the mast month. I'll review my position this time next year and allow traction of the acquisitions to take place.
When it first crossed our radar we could not believe the rumours – a British company could be in-line to build President Donald Trump's wall between the USA and Mexico. Closer inspection revealed talk of a firm which builds not physical walls, but is an established provider of the kind of border security which would seem like science fiction to most people. It technology – such as its EdgeVis Shield and ThruVis products – can and have been employed by military forces and border controls around the world and there seems little reason to see why they would not indeed offer at least part of a solution to President Trump's 2,000 mile-long problem. We happen to know that tests of the technology – which can detect human movement across entire border areas, deliver imagery and exact locations with near pin-point accuracy – has been tested in Gloucestershire. And although the firm, Digital Barriers, is listed on the AIM market in London, its beating heart is in Gloucestershire, its vice president a former Gloucester schoolboy who has moved back to his roots after a career in the military. "I went to Sir Tommy Rich's School then did an in-service degree in military telecoms communications engineer. I have been with Digital Barriers for a number of years now and have built a team up in Gloucester which is based around the solutions part of the business with responsibility for putting together tests for the group," said Neil Hendry. That group being a company which works seamlessly, but through acquisition is operates around the world and interestingly – with a certain high-profile project in mind – has just taken over an American company. "We won't be discussing, and never have discussed, if we are in talks with US border control authorities, and any other border authorities – as this would be confidential information. Regardless, if we did win a deal, as a listed company we would have to announce the win on the RNS," said a spokesman. Digital Barriers last full-year accounts show a turnover of £21.1m with international revenues increasing by 113 per cent to £15.1m and that aforementioned solution division seeing growth of 53 per cent to £18.2 million. More rapid growth is expected. It was formed in 2009 after now senior board members Tom Black, Zak Doffman and Colin Evans sold a previous business - specialist security consultant Detica – to BAE Systems for £531m in July 2008. Fourteen to fifteen acquisitions later, not to mention USA-based Brimtek Inc, it today operates in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), from regional offices in London, Nice and Dubai, Asia-Pacific, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, the Americas and from offices in Ashburn, in the Washington DC Metropolitan – and Gloucester. Rumours are the estimated cost of a 55ft high wall – some have reported £8blln – have prompted the search
A firm believed to be in the mix as a potential to build Donald Trump’s wall has not only revealed itself this week to have Gloucestershire roots – but that it is recruiting. We revealed on Southwestbusiness.co.uk earlier this week that rumours placed the firm Digital Barriers in the mix when it came to President Trump’s much mooted wall between the USA and Mexico. While the business has neither confirmed nor denied the reports that its digital and technological skills honed for contracts with the likes of the MOD and other border agencies are under scrutiny by Trump’s team, it highlighted strong Gloucestershire connections for the AIM-listed public company. It has now also revealed it has ambitious growth plans for the year ahead after a period of concerted acquisition - and that it is looking to recruit young talent. “We have just started a graduate scheme. We took on two graduates – in Gloucestershire – six months back. We are likely to develop the scheme business-wide as we grow,” said Neil Hendry, a former Sir Thomas Rich’s School pupil and army captain and now the firm’s vice president who runs the Gloucestershire-branch of the business. “This year is about growth. We have positioned ourselves as able to create solutions from our technology. We see that as exponential growth.” As for Trump’s wall, as you may have guessed Digital Barriers is not linked to a physical wall. But its technology – such as its EdgeVis Shield and ThruVis products – can and have been employed by military forces and border controls around the world and there seems little reason to see why it would not offer at least part of a solution to the President's 2,000 mile-long headache. We happen to know that tests of the technology – which can detect human movement across entire border areas, deliver imagery and exact locations with near pin-point accuracy – have been carried out in Gloucestershire. It is understood its EdgeVis Shield technology has been trialled in American border state Arizona. The screw-shaped Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) is buried but processes seismic technology so advanced it can differentiate between small animals, vehicles and humans as well as tunnelling activity. Its ThruVis technology is a highly sensitive camera (as used by US Transport Security Administration) which works like an x-ray machine, but can detect non-metallic objects such as explosives. Digital Barriers last full-year accounts show a turnover of £21.1m with international revenues increasing by 113 per cent to £15.1m and that aforementioned solution division seeing growth of 53 per cent to £18.2 million. It was formed in 2009 after now senior board members Tom Black, Zak Doffman and Colin Evans sold a previous business - specialist security consultant Detica – to BAE Systems for £531m in July 2008.

Is it a pre news shake? Drop is on low volume, no change to main share holdings. Recent articles in the news.
I am as surprised as you and can find no reason for the recent steady fall. It does worry me though,as i feel the markets are due for some serious profit taking ,so when that happens where will the price go?
What's the cause of the fall in the SP in recent days, any guesses.

Persimmon - I share your views. Sadly the global climate has never been better for DGB and with their strong relationships in the U.S. it's just a matter of time until the big contracts roll in
The MM's are making a concerted effort now to buy your shares, dropping the price on very little volume. If and when an order is placed from US homeland security for Trumps digital wall this will move rapidly. Do your own research and then I feel sure you will agree.
From land technology to maritime, interesting trials possibly on cruise ships. Streaming video. With cruise ships having a wide array of video surveillance cameras on board, should an incident happen, the question arises of how to stream the resulting ‘live’ and usable footage to those on shore or to other ships who may be looking to organise a response. Marie Clutterbuck, Marketing Director, at Digital Barriers flags up the fact that at sea most communication from passenger cruise ships takes place over Satcom systems which are not only expensive but have limited bandwidth: “It can be challenging to transmit bandwidth-hungry live video, should the need arise.” Clutterbuck goes on to say that Digital Barriers has held discussions with leading cruise operators and port authorities with a view to having a full trial of the vendor’s EdgeVis Live technology up and running next year: “EdgeVis Live technology makes obtaining video feeds from vessels at sea both viable and cost effective. It uses around 60 percent less data than standard video transmission technology and continues to work at bandwidths as low as 9kbps.” http://www.securitynewsdesk.com/are-terrorists-like-isis-and-pirates-threatening-cruise-ship-security/
Unless its a new Institutional Investor
Shares traded over the last 2 weeks. By my estimates 95% of that volume were buys. SP down 5% over that period - must be a TR1 due?
good to see he is munching away.
chunky buys again, picked up a few more today myself
will significantly boost revenues here with their border security programme Already in H1 we were seeing significant growth in the US Sales highlights in the period included more than $8m of EdgeVis video surveillance solutions to a number of US flagship agencies, a $1.65m investment in ThruVis by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a £2m follow-on contract from BT Redcare, and a £1m contract with an existing transportation customer in Asia-Pacific
Strong buying yet the SP dropping, I just picked up a few at a good price, hope for a steady rise soon.
When this goes it will be out of control, there are hardly any shares available. Its probably held back for one of those II's to load up.
I think we are in agreement then that this company is going places. The buying of a small US company was a sound strategic move, which places them in a very good position. Just wish I knew what was going on in the background though. The s.p is being artificially held down for some reason, which I suppose is to be expected on AIM. I really believe when it does blow it will gain traction very quickly.
pmsl, are you still on the sidelines mate? You got me with that one.
