still a punt for me mate but with the sp at an all time low and funding sorted and some interesting buys happy to be holding

Nice buys mate..patience will be rewarded i feel...

Been waiting for this news http://www.smh.com.au/business/atm-deal-gives-customers-feefree-access-20100711-105k6.html may take a while to be acknowledged but good for us

http://medhealth.tmcnet.com/topics/healthcare-innovation/articles/91490-oncology-biomarker-research-funded-as-step-early-cancer.htm

T/O i feel is a strong possibility Mike many reasons for that.Its the perfect add on to any major pharm who will see it as a cost saving aswel as a very cheap add on very well located in the states (anne arbour),market leader in biomarkers with an expanding portfoilio Zeus trust has been payrolling them for a long time now and hold about 80% of the company..just like pi,s they will want a healthy return on the investment. Obviously no idea of timescale but happy to wait and add on this one.

One thing to remember is biomarkers save pharma,s millions in research..if the biomarker proves negative the research can be adjusted accordingly

And a recent buy of 52,307 could it be our Australian friends building a stake? Noticed this on customers ltd site the news on July 1st http://www.customers.com.au/media/ very cosy....of course if you didnt want to issue anymore shares but had an interested party you wanted on board you would have to get the pi,s to sell first if stock was minimal ,then again the interims would have to be mediocre and any new major contracts gained after the reports

Yes i has http://www.healthcare-market-reports.com/market-reports/biomarkers-advanced-technologies-and-global-market-2009-2014 well worth a read

If i remember rightly NGG still own 28% of this company ...http://www.exetek.co.uk/accessories.shtml will have a look at them and get back to you also http://peter-ertl.com/ from Novartis made a large investment in NGG if i remember right...alas changed pc and all my origional research was on that..But i will dig it all up

just a little footnote as i remember how hard it was to get my head around biomarkers basically they are like a pregnancy test except each biomarker is for a different condition

Evening mate,does sound strange saying a company with so many issued shares moves on little volume,but in this case it really does. I do believe the current price is a bargain now with the funding sorted they can carry on for quite a while,they also have some good tie ups with Sigma Aldrich and Thermo Fisher http://www.dddmag.com/news-Thermo-Fisher-Partners-With-NextGen-Sciences-060509.aspx which has been extended this year http://www.genomeweb.com/proteomics/thermo-fisher-extends-collaborations-validate-protein-biomarkers-build-srm-based Seems that mass spec has also been a strong point with Thermo http://www.genomeweb.com/proteomics/particularly-strong-mass-spec-sales-help-push-thermo-fisher-q1-revenue-19-percen

I agree with you and in fairness i should have added that

Hi mate sold this one on a spike a while back but still keep tracks on it. Looking to have a little dabble on it this week biomarkers are moving along and becoming more established Nextgen are at the forefront of this tech and the last couple of contracts due seem to make it well worth a punt,also noticed biomarkers getting more news now http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/judithpotts/100044495/the-biomarker-a-new-way-to-spot-cancer-before-it-develops/ and http://www.healthimaging.com/index.php?option=com_articles&view=portal&id=publication:10:article:23008:neurology-complementary-biomarkers-may-predict-alzheimers&division=hiit which is quite interesting as Nextgen have done alot of work on that subject http://www.nextgensciences.com/assays/csf.php

Alot of lines to read between and i guess it depends on if you are an optomist or a pessimist . My personal thoughts as an investor i was happy to see " February 2010, we made new appointments to the Media Sales team with the objective of strengthening our direct sales capability. We are seeing good progress being made in this area and since the period end" The word "direct" instead of agency related. Also with the last 2 rns with the overseas contracts which should see atmad installed for a fee which has been missing for the last 12mths or so. " Software & consultancy sales These are generated through the sale of software licences to ATM network owners for the use of atmAd. Income is also generated from associated maintenance fees and integration services. We shall see still no mention on Aus and no answer from an email to the company on the subject,but happy to hold,top up on lows and wait....

Loads of info mate click on Ana Stewarts name http://www.strategyinstitute.com/100609_dsic4/dsp_speak.php#stewart "on the brink of establishing business foundations in North America and APAC" http://www.dailydooh.com/archives/21151 "Justin Stark, National Sales Director at atmAd told us “We have very ambitious plans for the next twelve months" http://www.oaa.org.uk/images/OAA%20News_sept09.pdf Near the bottom "atmAd has just delivered its most complex month-long campaign across ATMs at Tesco stores. 12 different promotions were rotated via 2,253 ATMs, ranging from money off crisps and biscuits to discounts on travel insurance and tesco.com deliveries. Each campaign delivered a bespoke branded ATM receipt featuring a bar-coded voucher, which could be instantly redeemed in-store, as over 85% of Tesco customers use the ATM before shopping" Thats 12 ads rotated on one machine which obviously multiplys the revenue possibilites. Sorry can answer the interims date have emailed but no reply,but historically due now. GLA

Not sure if you have seen this http://www.financialstandard.com.au/news/view/26292/ Then from twitter and Ana Stewart CEO Of Idg "Melbourne fantastic place - Great to see our screens up and live in Sydney and Melbourne airports on the DDC machines 2:52 PM Jul 9th, 2009 via Echofon Its on page 2 http://twitter.com/ana56 Then we have at around the same time http://www.digital-media.net.au/article/ATM-advertising-network-atmAd-launches-in-Australia/490984.aspx Which seems to tie in with this? http://www.customersatm.com.au/assets/php/process.download.php?d=7 Then we have http://money.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1048804 so it seems Transaction media are doing ok...but still no mention from Australia officially from IDG although they do list Steve Newton as http://www.i-designplc.com/images/stories/Australasia.pdf

Good to see Tim Hufford earning his wages http://technologyweekly.mad.co.uk/Main/InDepth/SocialMedia/Articlex/ea2ee1a90fc244cd835a4d2c5f51b01f/The-brand-is-alive-and-well.html

Hi Frankie i agree with you on your thoughts on the CEO,S grip on the company i see that also as a plus,another fact is the below companies have stuck with IDG and have an average of around 60p a share each. None to date have sold or lowered there stake,my feelings are IDG and all the directors etc would like to see the companies benefit and profit from there belief and support all the below have been major shareholders for many years. And indeed the companies must also have a belief in the return on the investment as we pi,s do. Sigma Capital,Scottish Enterprise,Artemis Investment Management Limited ,Rathbone Investment Management Limited ,Williams de Broe Limited,JM Finn & Co ,Richard Swinfen. MikeF from what i can make out the Arab Bank and Saudi bank use atmad for there own internal promotions and not for 3rd party advertising as of yet,but again good customers to have.

I must admit apart from making a few quid here the next best thing will be YOU making a healthy profit from IDG...You have patience and have stuck with the company through some terrible lows and a complete lack of news And hopefully as the company turns the corner and appears on the radar that will happen..gl you desereve it..still early days but the signs are very good.

hi Mike yes Australia and Canada have both been mentioned and the research all backs it up,but alas lost in here as it is many posts back. Have contacted the company about interim dates as of yet no reply but historically around now.Would like to think the large buy today was from a serious investor as that alone will keep the sp up. The mms play on pi,s selling and a quick retrace after a few days inactivity ,of course they will try any trick in the book to shake the tree as they will know more than us. GL mate. To me this company is in a far far healthier state than when the sp was 70p so i will hold and add on retraces..
