Contract Win with Fifth African Operator

Synchronica plc, the AIM listed mobile email and data synchronisation provider, announces that it has received a purchase order for US$ 197,000 for an initial 20,000 user license from a West-African mobile operator for its award winning mobile email product Mobile Gateway, as well as a contract for professional services.

The order is the fifth deal in this region in 2009 and the 12th operator contract announced by the Company in 2009. This is the third order received through the same major network equipment provider, demonstrating the effectiveness of the strategy to use channel partners to accelerate the roll-out of Mobile Gateway.

The operator will use Synchronica's Mobile Gateway technology to offer a push mail and mobile synchronisation service to its subscribers. Synchronica's industry-standard technology requires no additional software client to be downloaded to the handset and enables push email for the broadest range of handsets, from high-end Smartphones to low-cost entry level devices.

According to a report from Blycroft Publishing, a UK-based telecommunications publisher, Africa's mobile phone market grew by 25% in 2008, attracting 74 million new subscribers and taking the total number of subscribers to 370 million mobile. Some of the factors that contributed to this growth, the study found, included the launch of 11 new networks in Ghana, Benin, Botswana, Congo Brazzaville, Guinea-Conakry, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan and Uganda. A further study from Ernst & Young (Africa Connected: A telecommunications growth story), indicates this trend shows no sign of waning, with expectations of the mobile phone penetration in Africa to rise from 37% today to more than 60% in 2012.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica, said, "We are very pleased with the success of our strategy of using major network equipment providers to scale our business on a global basis to reach as many countries and operators as possible. Our fifth purchase order in this region demonstrates the attractiveness of our products for operators in emerging markets. By enabling operators to address the entire spectrum of handsets, our products allow them to attract new customers and introduce data services to the mass-market."

11:51GMT 04Nov2008-Synchronica up on first devices order

Shares in Synchronica rise 11 percent after the developer of mobile email software receives its first purchase order for low-cost mobile devices from a Central-African operator.
"Whilst we expect the revenue from this initial order to be modest and Synchronica will only recognise the revenue in its H1 2010 accounts, it is significant that the purchase order has been received well ahead of expectations and Synchronica is delivering against its strategy," says analyst Paul Cornelius at FinnCap.

11:00GMT 04Nov2008--Umeco rises after results

Shares in Umeco add 3.4 percent after the aerospace parts supplier reports first-half results, which prompt Brewin Dolphin to lift its rating on the stock to "buy" from "reduce".
Umeco posts a 15.9 percent fall in first-half operating profit from continuing operations due to lower demand, but says it is confident that its long-term prospects are robust.
Brewin Dolphin, in a note, says it recently took a cautious stance on the stock (it had a "reduce" recommendation on Umeco since the difficult July trading update).
This was based on its fears that the recovery in the group's end markets could be protracted and the risk that year-end debt covenants could be tight without a pick up in demand.

But "this morning's announcement provides encouragement over both our concerns" -- hence the recommendation upgrade. Reuters Messaging rm://tricia.wright1.reuters.com@reuters.net
10:57GMT 04Nov2008-RPC up; broker sees re-rating on cards

Shares in RPC gain 2.4 percent after Edison Investment issues a bullish note following a site visit to Germany and says near-term benefits offer scope for a re-rating of the firm's shares.
The broker says the supplier of plastic packaging "is weathering the recession relatively well" and expects 2010 to show signs of recovery, boosted by its restructuring programme and a focus on its in-house design team.
"With restructuring benefits to be realised over the next 18 months and backed by an attractive yield, there is scope for upwards re-rating of the shares," it says.

Shares in Imagination Technologies gain more than 10 percent, topping the FTSE 250 leaders board after Panmure Gordon raises its target price to 250 pence from 200 pence and repeats its "buy" rating following a positive meeting with the chip designer's management.

Panmure Gordon says its confidence in Imagination's prospects is increased following the presentation given to the broker's salesforce, with further insight gained into the firm's Meta processor core business and its Pure digital radio operations.
The broker says both operations have the potential to significantly exceed its expectations.
"Imagination is in a stage of positive momentum. We believe newsflow will continue to be favourable and that will drive a premium rating," Panmure says.

10:26GMT 04Nov2008-Nviro falls on cash call concerns

Shares in Nviro Cleantech slump nearly 15 percent on fears the firm may need to raise further cash after the company says it has received final approval of a European Union grant of up to 785,450 euros ($1.16 million) for its wood fibre recycling technology business.
Nviro, a clean technology developer which operates in Britain, the United States and Cayman Islands, says operations could continue with current overhead levels to the end of the financial year ending Sept. 30, 2010.
"We remain cautious due to the danger of an additional cash raise," says Hoodless Brennan in a note, as the broker retains its "sell" rating ahead of further possible dilution.

10:15GMT 04Nov2008-Alterian higher after results

Shares in Alterian gain more than 3 percent after the marketing software provider posts first-half results, which prompt both Panmure Gordon and Investec Securities to lift their target prices for the firm.
Alterian says its first-half loss narrowed, helped by a 40 percent growth in revenue, and that it is confident about its outlook for the current year and beyond.
"A banner set of interim results -- ahead of revenue, profit, cash and featuring stronger YOY growth in the U.S. -- the lead geography," Panmure says in a note.
The broker moves its target price to 229 pence from 201 and lifts its FY EPS estimate to 15 pence from 14.4, while repeating its "buy" rating on the stock.
Alterian makes no reference to challenging markets, says the broker.

Panmure says instead, Alterian argues that in H2 the combination of market position, a strong pipeline, the broadening of products and distribution together with its recurring revenue model and financial characteristics leave it "well placed for continuing success".
Investec, meanwhile, lifts its target price for the company to 213 pence from 153. It also repeats its "buy" rating.

First Order for Low Cost Devices Ahead of Expectations

Synchronica plc, the AIM listed mobile email and data synchronisation provider, is pleased to announce that the first purchase order for low cost mobile devices ("LC Devices") has been received, ahead of expectations, following the collaboration agreement concluded on 7 July with third parties to design, build, market and sell LC Devices.

This first order for LC Devices is from a Central-African mobile operator which recently purchased a 100,000 user license for Synchronica Mobile Gateway. The LC Devices will utilise the infrastructure provided by Synchronica's Mobile Gateway, building an end-to-end entry-level push email product. The devices are scheduled to start shipping before the end of the year, on time for the planned service launch with Mobile Gateway.

Under the collaboration agreement, Synchronica will receive a commission of 3% of the net sales revenue from the sales of the LC Devices. This revenue will be in addition to licence, professional services, support and hosting revenues from Mobile Gateway which were sold separately. Whilst total revenues to be generated from the commission of this initial order are expected to be modest, it is significant to note that this order has come well ahead of expectations as the first sales of the LC Devices were not expected to occur until calendar year 2010.

Interest in the LC Devices appears strong across the majority of the carriers that have reviewed the product offering. In the coming months, Synchronica and its collaboration partners work closely with carriers around the world to support their technical evaluation and implementation of the LC Devices and Mobile Gateway platform. The Company continues to be optimistic about the sales and profit potential from the collaboration agreement for Synchronica in 2010 and beyond.

Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica, said, "We are very happy not only to have received this purchase order, but for it to have come ahead of our expectations. This deal demonstrates the synergies between Synchronica's device neutral infrastructure software Mobile Gateway and the optimized LC Devices. Synchronica delivers the best of both worlds - a device neutral platform delivering push Email literally to any device in use today - as well as the advantages of an optimized end-to-end solution with low cost email-centric devices optimized for our platform.

"Having received the first order from a carrier from Africa, at the heart of Synchronica's marketing strategy, should also be considered as a vindication of our focus on emerging economies. Carriers in emerging markets have the unique opportunity to make the mobile phone the primary device for Internet access and Synchronica can provide key components to make this vision a reality."
