GECR Target price 397p WANdisco Significant Growth Opportunities AIM-listed WANdisco is a provider of global collaboration software to the software development industry. With organisations facing increasing issues arising from network latency and inconstant availability, restrictions on scalability and security, the group has recognised a market opportunity to provide a cost-effective resolution to these issues. It has secured in excess of 200 customers to date - including some of the world‟s best known and well regarded companies, such as Aviva, Hewlett Packard and Honda – but this amounts to only a small percentage of the total market opportunity. Furthermore, the high level of customer renewals provides the group with a sustainable, predictable and recurring revenue stream. As the group now looks to apply its differentiated technology to other adjacent markets, we initiate coverage with a recommendation of speculative buy.

Analysts at Westhouse Securities have today lowered their price target on the shares of mining and logistics group Hargreaves Services following its results for the year to May 2012. These were in line with expectations, but overshadowed by the discovery of gas leaks at Malty and the consequent potential decision to close/mothball the site. Even so, they write that: “this decision, which should be cash neutral at worst, will achieve two things in our view. First, it will materially de-risk the investment case by removing deep-mining risk altogether, and second, it will allow greater investor focus on the strong E&C business and the low-risk surface mine at Tower.” Nevertheless, the broker has lowered its target price to 660p (from 893p) to reflect the uncertainty until the mine is closed, but remains a buyer of the shares.

Analysts at Credit Suisse have today taken the decision to upwardly revise their price target and recommendation (to Neutral from Underperform) on shares of power station operator Drax. That as a result of updated estimates for biomass costs and biomass output trajectory, although they add that they still prefer SSE (Outperform, TP 1,450p) as a play on power prices in the UK. Thus, they point out that on their estimates the £700m of capital expenditures which the company will undertake to convert half its units to biomass merely offsets the negative impact from the loss of free CO2 emissions permits and the CO2 floor price.

Current trading and future prospects The announcement of our contract today with another Tier 1 mobile operator is excellent news since it further validates the trends we have seen develop in our market during the last 12 months. Mobile operators are seeking out applications that will help to grow revenues and retain customers. The increased sophistication of handsets, the reduced data tariffs and the related emergence of the workforce management sector is driving more mobile operators to explore the opportunity that Instant Communication solutions can offer. We now have customers in every corner of the world; Mexico, Brazil, USA, Germany, France, Italy, India, South Africa, Denmark, Sweden and the UK of course. There are negotiations and trials being conducted with potential customers in several other countries. The message is that we have great momentum and an increasing pipeline of opportunity. The key requirement now, is that our customers launch the services to their own customers, and that these services are taken up in large numbers. I believe we are approaching this stage with many of them and look forward to reporting over the coming months on the results.

Review of operations The momentum we have generated in the last 12 months has continued, with the announcement today of a further contract with a Tier 1 Mobile Operator, this one based in France. This deal was secured after an extremely tough trial process, where our solution was tested by one of the world's leading technology consultancies, for its functionality, resilience and scalability. Our success in coming through this process has demonstrated once again that we own a carrier class platform, which the world's leading mobile operators are now embracing to deliver instant communication services to their customers. Our technical team has worked hard to install the solution and we expect to announce the commercial launch of services later in the year, at which point more details as to the identity of the carrier may be disclosed. Our technical team has also been engaged during the period on installing our platform in Telcel (Mexico) and Claro (Brazil), the first two operators scheduled to launch the Push to Talk service under the American Movil umbrella. We are now very close to satisfying all the requirements of the customer, and I expect that we will be able to announce a full commercial launch before the end of the year. We continue to explore strategic relationships with handset manufacturers and during the period announced a deal with Handheld Group, a fast growing manufacturer of rugged PDAs. As the demand for Instant Communications increases in the workplace, we expect to see an increasing number of rugged handset manufacturers looking to install the application on the device at source. We are well placed to capitalize on this trend. We have recently opened up a new market opportunity through the partnership agreement we have signed with Cellhire, a global service provider specializing in the delivery of short term communication solutions for major global events. These events are traditionally served by Private Mobile Radio ('PMR'), a heavy duty, costly network designed for near universal coverage and availability, with very quick call set up and group communications. We have already been able to demonstrate the functionality, versatility and cost benefits of our solution compared to PMR. We look forward to developing this new channel to market with Cellhire over the coming months.
