They are not ripping the leather off the ball as far as growth, but what they have is a product called MobiKey which allows you to remotely, on a totally secure basis, reach into a computer from anywhere. US and Cdn governments uses this in a big way. The question is, will there be a broad rollout beyond the existing government users. Profitable.

Just announced that their average revenue per subscriber is up 8%, the average number of subscribers is up about 12% and the average dollars year-over-year is up about 17%. For the 1^st time, a Canadian legal firm has used this because people are becoming more concerned about security. US government is now starting to embrace it. The big catalyst is looking for a huge uptake in US government users. There is pretty good quarter on quarter increases in underlying subscribers.

A top 5 personal holding. They have their costs in Canadian dollars and their revenues in US dollars. They are improving approximately 20% because of declining currency. The catalysts are getting a large number of clients. They are already profitable and they have cash in the bank. They are hoping for increased sales to the US government. They don’t have stiff completion.

It is like watching paint dry as it trades between $0.04 and $0.05. Has been profitable, which is very good for a small company. Their product is an equivalent of a memory stick i.e. you put it in your computer giving you access to your other computers anywhere in the world. The US government is continuing to roll the product out. Thinks there is testing going on in the UK with the banking community. If they were to sign a significant contract, there would be a dramatic improvement for their outlook.

Not in the active part of his database because it is quite small. Recently reported, and earnings were profitable for the 1^st time in a long while.

Higher risk and thinly traded. It has the potential to break out, but it will take some time.

(Market Call Minute.) Customers just don’t need the amount of security they have. Revenues are only $6 million and they have little bit of cash. Business is okay, but it is just not going to be a big, big player.

Great technology. The US government uses it. It’s a recurring revenue model. They need to add more subscribers. Every subscriber that they add basically falls to the bottom line. Thinks there are opportunities for them in Europe on the banking side. Unfortunately you have to see subscriber growth and as yet they have not landed the big contracts that everyone has been waiting for.
