i-design raises its South American profile with deal 23 Jun 2010 Fife-based i-design, the ATM advertising specialist, has won its first contract in South America. The contract signed by South American partner Teller Service is with a major bank in Ecuador for the deployment of i-design’s “atmAd” solution across the bank’s network of around 500 ATMs in the country. The group’s software enables ATM network owners to run third party advertising as well as internal marketing campaigns, while i-design benefits from ongoing fees for the use of its operating systems. Teller is representing i-design in several other South American countries. Ana Stewart, chief executive of i-design, commented: “This is a strategically important agreement for us, establishing our ATM advertising solution in a major new marketplace.” Stewart said she was confident that the deal would pave the way for other opportunities on the continent. Last month i-design announced a doubling of pre-tax losses to £1.1 million, but also its first US contract. The deal with Cardtronics, the world’s biggest non-bank owner of ATMs, covers 2200 machines in the US and a further 800 in the UK. Stewart said she was still “very positive about prospects for expansion both in the UK and internationally”. The AIM-listed shares regained ground lost this month, rising 2.5p to 17.5p. http://www.heraldscotland.com/business/corporate-sme/i-design-raises-its-south-american-profile-with-deal-1.1036646

They sure do, let's just hope it applies here ;) GL

It is frustrating waiting for the results when we thought we would see them mid June but they will be released shortly... a poster on ADVFN said that he has spoken to them and the beginning of the month and they were expecting to release them in mid June! Hopefully the delay is becuase of some good news attached to them!? I'm sure our patience will be rewarded! GL

of 3453 @ 4.25p. Couple more and we should tick up here. GLA

Small buy of 2,622 on PLUS just in @ 18.5p... GLA

Agree, good to see some contracts finally being announced by RNS, i have been a watcher for a very long time and bought my first batch yesterday, will be looking to add when funds become available... GLA

Small 5882 buy in on the bell at mid price...

Hoping to see us in the blue again today! With recent broker notes showing 30p+ and contract being won it looks like a great time to invest in this company. GLA

a bit of blue today! GLA

Thanks again for all our research on this. Hopefully you will start to see it bearing fruit now. Look forward to the results and further contract wins. GL

Hi, finally got onboard after todays contract win, will be building a small stake in here for the medium term. Is the date for the interims confirmed yet do you know? I was also very surprised at that buy, every time i have done a dummy buy i have been limited to the amount i can pick up! What is the contract you are expecting to be announced soon? If i remember rightly it is an Australian contract isn't it? ATB

interest with second contract win within a month! This co. is really progressing. GLA

over recent weeks, should see a bounce here at some stage... overdone now IMO. GLA

rivaldo - 22 Jun'10 - 13:21 - 227 of 228 HB have a 30p valuation and upgrade to Speculative Buy. IDG actually had £1.7m of net cash rather than the £1.4m they mention: http://proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/17980/hb-markets-daily-smallcap-newsflash-including-blinkx-entertainment-one-sinosoft-velosi-and-others-17980.html "I-Design Group (IDG, 15p, £2.12m) The ATM advertising operation has won its first contract, via a channel partner, in South Africa. The contract in Ecuador is for deployment across a bank’s 500 ATM machines and will go live in the last quarter of 2010. We have been Holders but the group does appear to have sufficient cash, some £1.41m at the year end, so has an EV of just £0.71m against sales last year of £2.37m. Even allowing for a further £0.4m of cash burn we see upside to above 30p, so we move from Hold to SPECULATIVE BUY."

23k Buy on PLUS @ 4.3p. Should see this bounce back up this afternoon IMHO. GLA

You invested in here? I have been a watcher for a long time and thought todays price was a great entry level!

IDG 16-19 16.7% up CHNS 210-230 34.8% down

i-design breaks into South America By Lee Wild Tue 22 Jun 2010 IDG - i-design group Latest Prices Name Price % i-design group 17.50p +16.67% FTSE AIM All-Share 687 -0.46% Media 3,728 -0.85% LONDON (SHARECAST) - Cash machine advertising specialist i-design has followed up last month’s maiden US deal with its first contract in South America. The AIM-listed company, whose technology allows ATM network owners to run both third party advertising and their own internal marketing campaigns, will deliver its atmAd solution across a network of about 500 ATMs for “a major bank” in Ecuador. It will benefit from an ongoing revenue stream from fees relating to the use of its proprietary systems, which allow the management of ATM advertising campaigns. Sites are expected to go live at the beginning of the fourth quarter. “We are confident that the benefits of atmAd, which remains globally an unrivalled ATM advertising solution - capable of running on multiple ATM networks - will lead other ATM network owners in South America to explore the opportunity atmAd offers both for market positioning and new revenue generation,” said chief executive Ana Stewart. “We continue to remain very positive about prospects for expansion both in the UK and internationally." In April, i-design signed a big deal to sell ad space on behalf of US-based ATM network operator Cardtronics. That contract covered about 3,000 ATMs, about 2,200 of which are located at retail sites in the US, and the rest in the UK. http://www.sharecast.com/cgi-bin/sharecast/story.cgi?story_id=3529905

I have taken a few at 4.3p today, the company has said that it needs to raise capital but only a small amount! I feel that if there is an issue of equity that it will be minimal and with a current market cap of under £3m this is a steal at current price... GLA
