Look likes Shed is on the Upturn from a long dip down to 87p. Might be worth keeping an eye open. Newton Investment now have a 5.75% Holding.

An additional business benefit which will soon be available to Creation is the ability to manage the branding and content of all its partner deployments in-house for all products using Montage - iE's brand management tool. This offers Creation significant operational cost savings by enabling new partners, products and sites to be launched quickly without a dependency on IT resource. Phillip Blundell, Chief Executive, iE, believes all banks must enable their Internet platforms to support multiple distribution channels. 'Creation is leading the way in their approach to retail finance. Using the in-built business capability of the NetFinance platform, Creation can ensure quality customer service via multiple touch points - online, instore or by phone.' Stephen Hunt, Managing Director - Sales & Development, Creation, said, 'Creation's philosophy centres on offering innovative products and services to our partners' customers, wherever they are. Using the NetFinance platform enables us to launch new card programmes and products across a number of channels securely, cost effectively and quickly.' He added, 'The multi-channel capability that iE offers also provides us with an additional sales capability to maximize new business revenue.'

Intelligent Environments Group PLC 17 April 2007 CREATION FINANCIAL SERVICES ADOPTS IE's NETFINANCE SYSTEM FOR RETAIL CREDIT AND ACCOUNT SERVICING Creation Financial Services Ltd ('Creation'), a leading provider of solutions in the consumer credit and loyalty market, has adopted iE's NetFinance cards and retail finance system as its latest tool to offer a complete customer service and account management provision for its business partners. Creation will start rolling out the system during 2007 to enable improved Internet and call centre application capabilities. The deployment of the NetFinance platform is part of an ongoing programme of work between iE and Creation. Solutions for point of sale credit and online account management are being developed for launch during 2007. Key to Creation's decision to select the NetFinance platform was the straight-through processing capability of customer applications from whatever source - at home, in store, by post or over the phone. This minimization of manual workarounds and automation of risk and credit management will have direct business benefits: a customer will receive a credit decision immediately, receive their card quicker and be more inclined to shop with Creation's partners as a result.

Like all investments, there is risk. Zirax is a Russian company and its management holds the majority of the shares. Also there is no guarantee that Moscow City Council will renew its contract with the company for the upcoming winter, although it has done so for the past four years. Nevertheless, trading at 15 times forward earnings, the shares are worth a punt.

Suggestion for dasv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Zirax Our view: Worth a punt Share price: 15.25p (+0.5p) The Russian speciality chemicals group Zirax looks to be firing on all cylinders. Annual results from the AIM company yesterday showed a 35 per cent jump in pre-tax profits to $3.9m, on the back of a 21 per cent increase in sales to $25m. Zirax has two key areas of expertise. It makes de-icing products, but they are not your run-of-the-mill rock salt and sand. They are both environmentally friendly and very economical. The Russian company also sells chemicals to oilfields. Among its portfolio of products is PelletOil, which makes it easier for oil companies to extract crude from the ground. Zirax is doing very well in both activities. In de-icing, it yesterday boasted of a rise in sales from $13m to $16m. Moscow City Council is its biggest customer and the company is confident it will win the tender to supply it with de-icing product for the forthcoming winter. At the oil industry, chemicals side, sales soared from $3.5m to $9.2m. The boom in the Russian oil sector - driven by the high price of crude - has been a great help for Zirax. 2007 is expected to be an even better year for the group. Zirax hopes to significantly increase its output thanks to a capacity upgrade at its Volgorad plant in southern Russia and a new facility in Rosignano, Italy. For the year to 31 December 2007, brokers expect pre-tax profits to jump to $4.6m and sales to hit $32m. Like all in

Bucking the trend among Aim Chinese companies By Philip Stafford Published: April 13 2007 03:00 Raymond Chu, founder and chief executive of RC Group, admits that biometrics has something of an image problem in Britain and the rest of Europe. Yet Mr Chu will not lose any sleep over this cultural difference since his Hong Kong-based company has developed at a meteoric pace and provided a counterweight to sceptics about the appearance of Chinese companies on Aim. ADVERTISEMENT For most British people, fingerprint and facial recognition technology remains the preserve of Hollywood. Actual experience has been usually limited to seeing the cubicles containing iris-scanning technology while standing in line at the immigration desk of Heathrow airport. "The US, Middle East and south-east Asia is less concerned about data protection," Mr Chu admits. "Europe is the last continent we have to conquer." In many other countries, particularly the Middle East and China, RC Group's products are selling rapidly. The company develops biometric products, which identify a person by scanning physical characteristics such as a fingerprint, an iris or voice modulation. Products include locks and security systems with fingerprint recognition; security kiosks at airports; facial recognition access control; biometrically-enabled laptops and facial recognition computer log-on software. Last month it also launched a storage box with fingerprint recognition technol

Prezzo Shares: 84p-1¼p Questor says Buy The Kaye family are doing it again. The Prezzo pizza chain, run by Jonathan Kaye - cousin of brothers Adam and Sam who founded ASK Central and whose father founded Garfunkels - continues to serve up lip-smacking financials topped off with strong share price growth. Yesterday's full-year results were no different, with pre-tax profits in the year to December of £8.28m against £6.1m last time. The roll-out of the concept continues faster than expected, and it is one of the real winners of the growth in the casual dining market. Added to this the recent hiring of former leisure analyst Alan Millar as finance director - a man who knows the world of leisure like the back of his hand - and the company's growth trajectory is set to continue. Tipped at 56¼p last September, the shares have further to go despite recent rises. james.quinn@telegraph.co.uk

Prezzo Our view: Buy Share price: 83.75p (-1.5p) So far everything the Kaye family has touched has turned to gold. Prezzo, which was founded by Philip Kaye, the man behind Golden Egg, Garfunkels and ASK Central, and his nephew Jonathan Kaye, has expanded rapidly since its flotation in 2002 with just four restaurants. Next week the pizza and pasta parlour will be celebrating the launch of its 100th restaurant, which opens in South Woodford, in Redbridge, north-east London. The group beat City forecasts yesterday with strong full-year figures. Pre-tax profits jumped 41 per cent to £9.1m on a 45 per cent increase in turnover to £11.4m. Despite this, shares in the company dipped 2 per cent yesterday, which analysts put down to the fact that they have enjoyed a strong run since the beginning of the year, increasing by 50 per cent. Speculation is also doing the rounds that Prezzo could be a takeover target for the private equity house Tragus after it lost out to the tycoon Robert Tchenguiz in the bidding war for the La Tasca tapas chain. The Pizza Hut owners Gondola and Paramount, the group behind Chez Gerard, are also on the look out for new brands. The restaurant boom shows no signs of slowing down and with the casual dining market the fastest grower, investors would do well to tuck into Prezzo shares.

Following the results a later report. Date: Thursday 12 Apr 2007 LONDON (ShareCast) - Shares in Prezzo, the Italian restaurant chain, ran into some profit taking despite profits and sales rising by more than 40% last year. Revenues in 2006 increased by 45% to £54.2m helped by 27 new restaurant openings, while pre-tax profits were up by 42% to £8.7m. Chcief executive Jonathan Kaye said the group is in “great shape” with 99 restaurants in trading and another eight in build. “We have made an encouraging start to 2007 and trading is currently in line with management expectations,” the group said. “With our existing opening programme and the incremental contribution from restaurants opened in 2006, we expect to deliver further growth for shareholders in the year ahead,” it added. The final dividend increases by 40% to 0.175p. Prezzo also said it appointed Alan Millar, formerly of Dawnay Day Corporate Broking, as Finance Director.

Losses widen but investors cheer Deal Group Media DEAL Group Media edged ahead yesterday as the online media-marketing firm reported results for the year ended 31 December broadly in line with market expectations. The company, which said it has ceased all offer talks, reported a pre-tax loss of £2.2 million, an increase from a loss of £490,000 in 2005, on turnover up 12 per cent to £23m. The company said the success of sales activity in the fast growing Asia Pacific region was "very encouraging", with online advertising budgets high and competition low, relative to Europe. In addition, the firm said it had substantially reduced both its UK operational costs and central cost base in the final quarter, with the benefits expected to be seen by the end of the current financial year. Looking ahead, in the UK Deal Group plans an aggressive relaunch of its core product offerings in the second quarter, enabled by substantial investment in technology last year. The establishment of a new base in Singapore is expected to cost the group a net £1m over the current financial year. Shares in the company closed last night up 0.25p at 3.5p.
