Hi Pete,
Hope the following helps explain my personal
enthusiasm for this opportunity, and why I believe their
is a high probability of good returns on the stock and the 6c
options.
In their half-year 30 June '03 report, the company
stated;
' ... We expect that both the aforementioned
commercialization activities and our membership of the ADF Team Australia
supplier group will lead to a significant increase in revenue in the future and
we plan to continue with an active R&D programme to broaden the product and
technology base of the company. ... ' (extract 30 June
'03 report).
For me, the statement is highly credible based on the
following:
1) Revenue up 32.10% (half year report 30 June '03) - 19%
drop in sales revenues due to delays in govt projects but propped up by
'AusIndustry R&D & export grant' of $400K (Sonacom was essentially a
R&D entity prior to Zylotech acquisition in Aug '02)
2) Loss also up; 87.31%; but as a company that spends
on research and development this is par for the course
3) Have not seen any entry related to debt exposure which
is a big 'plus' for me - development has been funded by
share issues
4) Zylotech is a member of Team Australia
Supplier Group to provide Aust Defence Force with airborne
acoustic sensor requirements
5) Demonstrations of long-life acoustic surveillance
solution SeaWatch SW1 (released on schedule June '03) for commercial and
civil defence coastal surveillance were scheduled over last two
quarters
6) Second release - short-life rechargeable version -
completion, testing and release to market end 2003
7) Commercialization Programme in place to appoint
additional resellers in Aust and overseas + major teaming alliances with major
organisations, eg; Fujitsu (refer ASX announcements); to push-market their
acoustic and video surveillance solutions and facilitate bidding on govt
tenders
We will soon hear details of Zylotech's Renounceable
Rights Issue, 1:4 offer @ 1c each + 1 free attaching option (exercisable at
6c and expiring March 2006). For me, this company has presented me
with a fabulous 'ground floor' opportunity.
With regard to the above, the present political climate,
the business they are in, etc, etc, etc, I find it hard to believe the price
will not be many multiples of the 6c option price within 2 years, i.e.;
by March 2006. (Just my own opinion which is worth what you paid for
it!!!)
Shares are trading .013 - .014 cents and the draw for me
is the major potential upside.
Obviously there is risk attached to this stock and if my
expectations are dashed by bad news, I have to also be prepared for the
downside as must any other investor considering this stock. For anyone interested, I recommend a long surf of their
website to take in all the related info, including financial and Defence
Magazine media release, etc, etc, to get a better feel for this
company's potential or risk, and for the shareholder opportunity
soon to be offered.
Regards,
Cris
