The joys of message boards!

Well there has certainly been some activity on the message boards as of late!! I think I have just waded though about 130 posts!

I thought I should pick up on a few of the points raised. Firstly yes, most of our OEM deals come with a 'gagging clause' as the client does not want their customer to know that we are doing work for them.

In terms of the dilution that is spoken about, can I urge interested parties to take a look at the Super8K filed for the reverse merge, consider the share structure declared, and what may have been converted by certain parties given that 12 months has now passed from that date? All the information is there and is disclosed.

The company was not involved in the "PR Blitz" their disclosure covers this.

As to the comments about me personally on the boards, thanks guys, appreciated :( - good job i'm thick skinned. I've been advised not to post on message boards and prefer to respond in this blog that I have control over what is written about the company and the directors.

Are we all busy at the moment - absolutely. And yes, we're all traveling a lot (Sales Team and Management) which is why we have been unable to respond to certain questions posed in a timely manor. We have more opportunities today than we ever have. If only a small fraction of these come off, we'll be a very different looking company in the near future.

That's me for now - a conference call to attend to

FATIH Tender in Turkey - 125K units

The rumor mill is buzzing at the moment about the suspected 125K unit FATIH government Interactive Whiteboard tender in Turkey. Every manufacturer is looking to get a piece of the action. However, what is clear is that the Turkish Government likes to "buy Turkish" so we're in a prime position for this one.

Timeframes and exact specification are still not clear - looking good though - watch this space

Potential partner in Oz

An interesting conference call this morning with a large IT/AV player from Australia. What is apparent is that the market is very much open to new players and the usual suspects have not really obtained a strong position.

The strategy of a few key focussed resellers pushing the product there could be interesting.

Watch this space as this develops

TUCN - Does the market know something we dont?

We're banging our heads together here at the Factory trying to work out what the market knows that we don't. The SP hit a $0.03 low yesterday giving the company a market cap of 75% of last year's sales - wow!

I guess it is kind of frustrating that there seems to be little shareholder confidence in the company. Q1 granted was a bit of a slowdown, but compared to other public players in the market, the numbers were down similar amounts for the period.

We delivered nothing but good news throughout 2010 and the future looks brighter than ever. We're working on some new OEM contracts in the USA, one with one of the world's largest furniture manufacturers, there is some B2B interest at retail level in the products with well known stores and we've just expanded into Puerto Rico with Dreyfous Associates. http://eduplatform.net/

In Europe we continue to work with the "big H" (see 10Q if you dont know who we mean) and we are pursuing new partners in France, Slovakia, Italy and Cyprus, just to name a few that have recently requested samples of our products.

We're confident of our future

Busy Times at TUCN

It's been a couple of weeks since the last post, but busy times at TouchIT Technologies. The Investor road-show this week in NYC was great fun. We met a series of institutions, brokers, high net worths and explained what we do and our vision for the future. Very positive feedback. Let's hope they liked the story and want to buy some stock.

The quarter results posting was a little less pleasing than normal, but the markets and the boards seemed to react ok to it. It is annoying as this is the first piece of not so great news that we have had to put out - it is always much more fun to be putting out the good news, I think we need to get back to doing that!

It was great to meet our customers up in Madison, WI this week. The USA buying season has just started to it was interesting to hear about the pipeline and the projects that they are working on.

That's all for now

In NYC 16th and 17th - Investor Meetings

It is now confirmed that both Andi Brabin and Ronnie Murphy will be in New York City on the 16th and 17th of May, with Cooper Global Communications for various investor meetings. If you are interested in meeting with management, then this is a great opportunity. Please contact Ricardo at CGC, "Ricardo A. Garcia" rgarcia@cgc-us.com to organize an appointment or join one of the meetings.

TUCN - Things are starting to build nicely

It's a sunny Saturday afternoon here in London and i'm reflecting on the short week we have just had with the holidays and all (in Europe)

We have had a couple of really good days of Trading and the stock has certainly started to move. I think that the guys at Cooper Communications are starting to bring in some real buyers - always hard to tell, but the volume certainly spiked when they said it would. At $0.07 we're moving in the right direction. The message boards seem to be positive also at the moment which is good.

I'll be over in NYC shortly with CGC visiting some of their contacts - looking forward to that.

The guys in the factory are putting the finishing touches to the prep for the Q1 Audit that will take place shortly. Being public seems to mean there is always a report that needs to be written!

A couple of rumors that we have won some good business in the USA in a school district not too far away from Boston - let's hope we hear something more concrete soon.

Back to the sun, one has to enjoy it while it lasts in the UK

TUCN - looking good for the LCD - potential OEM opportunities a plenty

The LCD was on a potential OEM outing today with Christy and Ronnie in the USA. Very positive feedback on all accounts from the client so we are clearly doing something right. Thumbs up on the performance and the aesthetics

We also received news from a European client that they will be evaluating the LCD to add to their portfolio - again under OEM license

The LCD being a larger ticket item will have a positive effect on company revenue and as we stated in our 10k with the SEC, we see this as our future

Prototyping motorised stands at the factory tomorrow, fun, fun, fun

Good Day Today for $TUCN

Today was a particularly good day. We got a number of accounting matters resolved, notably agreeing a new fee and booking our PCAOB auditor Mazars Denge for the Q1 review audit.

Secondly, we solidified the design of a new LCD stand that we will be launching in the coming weeks - watch this space for the new specs, it is looking good!

Thirdly, we got some excellent feedback on a new OEM project that we have been working on for a number of months now. The client responded very positively to the prototypes that are being sent this week - we're hoping this account is going to be big in the future.

There is a nice buzz at the factory at the moment - almost as if everyone knows it is the calm before the storm as the busy period is approaching

TUCN - Pipeline a plenty

The sales pipeline is looking very interesting indeed for us over the forthcoming weeks. There are a couple of potential "game changers" which whilst they are not guaranteed, we're working hard towards closing them.

The interest out there for the LCD is astounding. We knew that it would be high, but not this high. I think we have developed a fantastic product here and something that will get us to the next level as a company.

DEMCO in the USA is really putting in the ground work - they are down in Austin TX this week at the Library show - if you are there, why not visit! Ask for Sean!

$TUCN - TouchIT Technologies Inc. Continues its Profitability with Sales Growth of 176% for the Year Ended December 31st 2010

Istanbul, Turkey, 31st March 2011, – TouchIT Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: TUCN), a leading manufacturer of touch-based visual communication products, has announced today that sales grew 176% in 2010 and the Company continues to post profits.

Total revenues for the twelve-month period ending December 31^st 2010 reached $3.58 million, a 176% increase from the $2.05 million of revenues reported at the end of the same period of 2009. Gross profit was $1.07 million or 30% of net sales, as of December 31st, 2010, up 375% from $287,027 in the same period in 2009.  Total comprehensive income at the end of the year 2010 was $165,178.  This compares with a net loss of $262,178 for year-end 2009.

Additionally, the Company recently closed on a $1 million ABL facility through TCA Global Credit Master Fund LP to meet its rapid growth expectations into 2011.  This will help the Company increase its production capacity of both the interactive whiteboards and the soon-to-be launched new range of Interactive LCDs.

"We are outperforming the visual communication market and some of our much larger competitors with our rate of growth," commented Andi Brabin, TouchIT Technologies' Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Brabin further added that the improving performance has been “a result of continued expansion” in both the Middle East and the U.S. market places, with the U.S. currently being the largest market in the world for Interactive products.

With a growing sales channel and several potential OEM opportunities, TouchIT Technologies is confident that it will achieve its earlier sales forecast for 2011.

New LCD Stand

The new LCD stand design is coming along nicely. We are planning to have a height adjustable stand that is also portrait/landscape adjustable but we're still working on the mechanism.

Should be good...

Florida

Sounds like Sean had a good road trip down in Florida - there is certainly a lot of interest down there for our products - FETC certainly helped and PC Mal Gov are backing us all the way

New Stands in the making

TUCN - We're working on a couple of new stands at the moment - one for the LCD which is great and this gives us a portrait-landscape rotation as well as being height adjustable and we're working on an "all in one" short throw mount for the whiteboard that holds a short throw projector - should be ready in a few weeks time - looking good!

TUCN - The markets continue to grow

Here is some interesting data for you all: 

- The market continues to grow and we are growing a rate much quicker than the market. 

The full year 2010 had 21% value and 15% volume growth with 895k IWBs sold at a value of $1.4 Billion. For 2011 Futuresource now expects 12% volume and 13% value growth, with 967k IWBs at a value of $1.5 Billion. 

- The market is huge! 

Over 3.6 million IWBs have now been installed globally. World classroom penetration has just tipped 8%, leaving 35 million of the total 39 million classrooms in the world without a board. There is still a large opportunity in the school sector. In the current economically unsure world, education is one thing that is globally valued. Additionally, the Higher Education, corporate and Government markets are major unexploited opportunities.

Good Trading volume today for TUCN

I'm pleased with the trading volume today 237K so far - I wonder if it is due to the imminent filing of the Form 10K that is due before the end of the month?

Shares are doing well today

There is a good volume of shares trading today and the price is up 24% - a nice post on the Yahoo message board (makes a change!) we usually get slated there!

We're a real company!

Not quite sure why there is a rumour out in the investment community that we are not a real company and a scam - we couldn't be more real if we tried!
