Overfiend you are getting edgy. None of us know facts apart from expenditure which now happens on a monthly basis and can be countered by income at any time, if we are lucky. That is why I bang on about having monthly figures. Most contracts that CC enters are now 50/50 so for the next 5>10>15 years that is an increasing income, it will not go away unless we have defaults. We now need to know income on a monthly basis. Once you see costs getting nearer to breakeven nerves will settle. We know contracts are on the move with SAT unless not successful so income must build.

Colour, it would be 'head in the sand' not to go along with most of your reasoning in this regard, but we are not getting any information on the spot of income. It is of no use ITT just quoting another £700k. this month when we know that there are various incomes arriving from new contracts, leasings etc, UK, India, Iran etc.
Only theoretical but supposing we had £700k minus incomes of £300k monthly that leaves £400k costs. ITT like us is only in a position to quote the £700k. With incomes supposedly rising on a monthly basis from now on and R&D costs falling in January again then the balance sheet should improve greatly during 2019.

The problem here ITT, as you rightly point out, is we have been told the monthly expenses (forecast) but not told income for equivalent periods. When I suggested it, and still do, somebody said they could not possibly do that it would give too much information away. They were not in the real world. So we are left with a one-sided equation. There's money in them there hills and we should be made aware of it.

Hello LTI.. A slight misreading of my comment. What I said is that we cannot go anywhere without supply being there.
Villages will be very happy with basic supplies but will soon move on and Government has already indicated Smart. If we get going with Omni in existing Urban areas the next step would be rural and by then as with most communities they will be expecting the earth. Don't we all.

Hello LTI.. That's good news. Any smart activity (CC included) cannot happen without the supply. The emphasis now being on Smart as PM Modi wants to bring them all into modern energy supplies to compete with the likes of China.
If CC's new Omni is as low priced as we are assuming then I think they will achieve a fast roll out on any contracts they win. Speed is now of the essence with next lot of elections on the horizon.

You may laugh out loud as much as you care but your position is relevant. You have dogged CC, heralded EESL and yet you are still here. Beggars belief.
Regarding UK my eye is now on Arqiva, their downside is that they need Towers and are much more expensive.
I feel we are going to get very good results from CC shortly, unfortunately these things take time and patience which you seem to lack.
UK Government wants results from SMETS2 and unless there is a drastic seachange CC can do that.
On Vodafone don't forget we are old friends. We are also working with E.On.

Colour, oh ye of little faith..I'm some others share my thoughts I am sure. You really should not be on AIM, not good for your depression. You cannot see any prospects in RF, UK, Canopy, White Label, etc., so why do you bother. Beats me.
It would be nice if you sold up, like Stedon, but he may be back in, or am I thinking correctly that you came in way back and cannot take the chance that if you go all that waiting will be lost and we suddenly take off.

What we now need is an assessment of our position in Smart market. We are all putting our Pro's and Con's. JC gave a lengthy report last month.
From an investors view we now need to know our position compass-wise from CC. JC forecast the future to be RF low frequency and got it right. Now the others are looking more closely. Has JC achieved a lot of 'white label' contracts, yet to be announced with these big organisations who were struggling with the penetration problem.
We are guaranteed our 10% of UK market possibly 30% but what was the outcome of the Telegraphs piece on private wireless circuit, if this is going ahead will CC be the main mover.
I think that there is a lot to be told and hopefully before Christmas.

Could this be the start of pre end of year buying. Hope so but it will take something from JC to kick it on its way.

Hello stedon..
Very good for an ex shareholder

Get one in before midnight.
I think we have mostly got used to Colour's negative remarks.
He did concede a point to me a couple of months back. I was shocked but have now forgotten it.
JC has very little time left to give us a Christmas present but you never know.
Now that JC has handed over India to Anil, a local lad we should see much progress there with new Omni, sorry Colour I think that he is very capable but of course you have not met him.
Goodnight, John-boy, wherever you are, LOL

Hello Vas..
The trouble with the UK Government is that instead of doing a pilot (at least I think not) like all the other pains taking clients it creates a massive project £11bn I think the biggest worldwide, sets loads of impossible requirements, sets loads of targets and dates and finishes up where we are. I would definitely have handled it differently having seen the money wasted by Government in my line, the NAO comes in miles too late. It has done in the past with passport office, PPI etc.
The DCC will probably be able to sort it by having all signals in then converting them as required but I should imagine that would add to the £11bn. Hey ho, its the Civil Service, cash is not likely to bother Sir Humphrey.
Savings although probably not going to the customer will likely be in less gas tanker shipments and the worrying statements of 'we have only got 2 weeks supply left' etc. The Government pays good money to have 'mothballed' power stations standing by so big savings there.
I think CC will get a massive part to play with UK contract, then heads will look up.

Hello Vas, for when you get back. I must admit I missed that one. I have been a member of Innovate for years. Whilst we will go forward in most of that direction I think it will be many more years after watching SMETS progress. For as much electricity as is predicted to be needed it will take a lot more rooftop panels and noisy windmills, and of course tons of iron and plastics and possibly rare materials will be required.
As I see it the best we can hope for is command and control (I've used that expression all my working life, elsewhere) of the flow of existing electricity. Smart meters if used wisely will create various tariffs through peak periods and downtime (nights) saving money during winter time by not bringing online 'mothballed' power stations. With Smart/IoT demand can be more finely tuned. Electricity can travel hundreds of miles with little loss under the right circumstances (sub zero temperatures) and that could be a thing of the future.
I think this interim period of 10 years will see the development of Smart to upgrade existing meters and connect remote areas as in India. By that time we will be in a position for the third generation to come online.

Hello Vas.. Looks like a great idea. I will put a generator on my static exercise bike. They were hoping with the advent of DCC that SMETS1 could be reprogrammed but I do not think they had resolved it, may be now they have. It would be a pity to waste all of new meters, who knows just may be they stuck a retrofit on the side.
Should hear a bit more soon from JC regarding that DCC Forum meeting last week.
It would be very interesting if that June Telegraph piece about a private wireless circuit is true, could bode well for CC.

Cricky Vas, a bit early, I have accused others of being too near the bottle but surely not you.
Where are you getting all this SMETS1/2 from, if its that easy it would have been done quietly.

Don't want to disappoint you Greengrass. BUY, BUY, BUY. Lol
I am off for a drinking day but will keep a bleary eye.
I told Santa to take the brake off his chariot and ring the bells loudly.
Look in over weekend.
So as to keep CC flying I think we will hear some good news in next couple of weeks.

Well stedon lucky you are not the ships cat, I would have slung you overboard as you are not a member of this crew or are you back.
Colour, I used to listen to your tales of India with The Village People but no longer, your information is very weak every time you get challenged you take a side swipe to avoid answers. I remember once you had a bit of valid information and immediately stated it. Looking forward to year end and next 2 Qtrs. Who knows you may be able to crow.

There you go again Colour, you everlasting require that I prove it.
I only want to have a look at this 30m and current installations.
You must have them because you are so factual.
Oh, was I wrong about India requiring RF, possibly I was.

Colour, everytime I say something you say prove it. We all know it is mostly anticipation. I do not dispute what you think you are saying but can you give us a link for these current figures regarding EESL. Also I may be wrong but I thought latest edict from India required RF.

Sorry Colour, missed that, I was typing. Is this a prediction I see. Nobody is allowed to do that. How many have been installed and paid for, you like to know that, are they definitely not having RF and are they on time.
You probably know all these answers.
