ITT, do hush up. This person is waying up whether to invest. Don't forget they are on the cheap end of SP so there is a fair chance that the only way is up. I think that you have picked 2 wrong examples, Sinclair and Sugar were successful but you cant win them all.

They do not make meters. They do software and a small amount of hardware for link ups. Mark up is very good when it arrives.

You are on AIM. This year is the turning point, if it goes well you will make a fortune,but. A big but.

Who is going to pitch in here.

stedon, what happened to those shares due for purchase in April at 28p.

Yes but it is a start. I think that once DCC SMETS2 gets underway there will be a base income arriving, which should have happened last year. All these problems would have been less acute if that had been on time.

ITT, interesting summary on Directors pay. As I said recently they should take a 50% cut in pay until they create profits that warrant the current pay. Doing comparative earnings with other companies is no good unless you compare the size of company and their profits to shareholders. Stedon, I have been on about loans forever. If JC is so clever why does he not go to the meter manufacturers who use CC and ask for a loan. Simple, however JC does not seem to have that skill so why say he does. Hopefully as a result of AGM we will find out what income we are receiving from UKContract (as referred to by JC) recently. SMETS2 we are involved with but doesn't start til October, unless already in production for release, so what is Q2 income related to. This isn't secret squirrel stuff as signed, sealed and guaranteed. Just give us the facts John, how much money is coming in together with other income from elsewhere. It's vital for shareholders to know.

I follow most of those guides, the exception being CC. So the guidance is follow random bottom feeding by directors but avoid contrived purchases. LTI..You know that I have always been in favour of CC obtaining loans well it seems that JC should approach the Indian Government who he is apparently on good terms with for a loan. In this case as I always say it is in their interest to support CC. I am sure CC will feature big in the new requirement for RF.

Not good ITT, JC did say income from UK and Mysore which is recurring so should be able to squeeze a little bit but just may be too hopeful. BST, I was hoping that JC would be able to supply the answers without the questions. He said he alone had �850k in, I wonder how much that is worth now. Like it or not everything has built up to this year beyond that I think investors will flag.

It is not an all sell day but a mixture. Many close to mid figure. With our burn rate and alleged income can anyone guesstimate what cash is in the pot. A few years back I was in a company that hit a bad patch through sentiment, way below what it should have been, SP fell through the floor. CEO decided to take advantage and used part of the funds to buy back. With us 1,000,000= �95,000. Considering it is only a 128m. company. The company stabilised and we came out in pretty good shape.

Hello Colour, no the question is not asked from the floor but from this BB, its well read.

Colour, to be fair this business is a peculiar one-off. Apart from observing that EESL made a different decision to what was expected I do not think that anybody thinks our software is rubbish. JC/SS etc have invested a lot of personal cash as you and I have, so logic tells me they did not expect the resistance to roll-outs (esp from Governments). The fact is that most shareholders pots have declined by as much as 50%. JC will have to be a little more forth coming at AGM than just saying with a smile 'I can't give forward statements', the worry being that there are no forward statements. We know that money is and will be coming in from UK at probably �5m a year (contract (�27/�35 and more), Mysore payments etc have arrived and hopefully we will get payment for that first delivery to Bangladesh prior to the temporary holdup. JC should be able to cover those items at AGM which may allay immediate fears.

Hello stedon.. My lack of research on this point does not mean I think SP will sink much lower under present circumstances. Income needs to appear and without it we may see further fall. I feel that JC was expecting too much in way of contracts from the type of clients. These Governments do not at present practice the 'old boy network' but are out to get the best possible deal. Unfortunately that means demanding better and better terms which in turn means more and more delays. CC will get there but if it takes too long then we will go the way of Connode. Hence JC frustration when he turned on fellow panel, which he has never done previously, and asked why we had only 4 contracts instead of 20. That is now changing. He needs to explain Bangladesh more fully, is it Government, money, size of manufacturer to meet their delivery. The suggestion is not to worry, the question is why not.

Hello colour.. I remove that observation. I am sure that I read it somewhere. I still think the money will start coming from Q2 onwards. The main thing is for JC not to act like a kid in a sweet shop and cutting down on expenses and R&D. Difficult but you just cannot have �1.5m coming in and �11m. going out. He should be looking for light at the end of this PIPELINE (FRAMEWORK). His problem could well be getting hung up on leasing, there must be good cash involved as well.

I do not know what the LOL is about stedon, you own shares as well, or do you. To me nothing much has changed in the company assets, we were told that funds would last until end of year and we expect unstated income to arrive before that time.I hope the situation will soon be resolved in Bangladesh as we were told it was a short delay, UK income has started to arrive, do not know how much or reason, as we do not supply until September. May be someone in Government has been told the need for CC and the cash is flowing. Do not dig an early grave stedon, leave it til later. We all know this is the make or break year and we are on AIM.

Just come back on BB. Disappointing to say the least. Who would consider selling 9.25. Just MM's and dealers taking advantage. Turn the coin and it may be JST building a book. All shares are sold eventually so if someone comes in at 100,000 to 200,000 its a fair chance its our favourites. Don't forget JST is a big contact in his own area so could soon sell the product. So where are these sells now, my thought is being gathered up.

Thank you Colour. That's being lazy on my part. Connode had 600,000 connections so is there a possibility that we are involved with our Omni or Panmesh software in this project do you think.

LTI, were CC not involved in Sweden or have I got the wrong country.

I think now that JC needs to enlighten us a bit more about this super duper gear which allows all these other IoT's to communicate through our one platform. He said at the ISGF meeting when talking to his colleagues 'next month and you aint nothing yet' or words to that effect. Well if they are going to be so gob-smacked it should now be up and running and they should be clambering after it.

Colour.. The trouble with AGM's is they are only a nodding session. All agenda items have been voted through by Funds etc.. So attendance is only really 'I was there' syndrome.
