Well there were no trades on Friday !
The Security & Policing Event starts today. Will be interesting to see how much interest this generates. On the face of it sounds like it could have many, widespread uses!
Could be game changing for this company

I fear I will soon be able to buy IGE after taking out a second mortgage !
Back in the day this was 13p with same amount of shares in issue...but not doing as well as it is now. Funny old world.
Between a forecasted return to profitability (due to be confirmed in early December), the significant sales and their constant presence at trade shows during these times of heightened security awareness, the steady climb in share price over the last few weeks suggests there's some excitement brewing here

My mistake no RNS on Image Scan Holdings getting ahead of myself
Makes absolutely no sense at all but the share price was trashed today. Aim really is a bloody casino. Anyway, not only will this years results be good according to the trading statement. They'll also have some extra juice to add with these sales.
For anyone who might have missed this article posted on Monday 23rd October: https://www.3dx-ray.com/3dx-ray-announce-significant-sales-in-the-run-up-to-milipol-paris-2023/
"3DX-Ray who will be exhibiting once again at this year’s important Milipol Exhibition in Paris, have announced the successful sale of four AS1 Portable X-Ray Systems and four more AXIS-A33 walk-through metal detectors.
The AS1 Portable X-Ray Systems are a repeat sale of four systems to an established EOD Unit customer in SE Asia. These systems represent an upgrade in capability from their existing LS1 and LS3 systems which they have used successfully for years. These new systems give them the higher image resolution and sophisticated image processing software from the very latest product in the 3DX-Ray product line..."

Err that's 2 and a half years old...
Still the company is now on the right track, just surprised the Broker forecast was so conservative. Guess they are under promising but hoping to over deliver. Think it will creep up a bit from here .
Ooh was hoping this would do well this week.
Oh well next week then
Mannan, you said you hold about 1% of the company and after yesterday's update must be extremely encouraged as the company is clearly going places now. Sadly, your 1% is hugely in excess of board members holdings, especially the chairman and that message I'm afraid is what kills this stock every time.
People selling with little profit I will hold for few 100 percent

Expects revenue to jump 50% in its recent financial year and to swing to a profit.
Shares in Loughborough, England-based Image Scan were up 5.9% to 1.80 pence each in London on Tuesday morning, following its pre-close trading update.
The X-ray screen system supplier to the security and industrial inspection markets said it expects to report "strong" sales and profit growth in the financial year ended September 30.
Revenue is expected to be GBP3 million, up 50% from GBP2 million the previous year. It predicts to swing to a pretax profit of GBP100,000 from a loss of GBP350,000 the year prior.
"The uplift in market activity as mentioned in the interim results has continued and government opportunities which were suppressed or delayed, by Covid and its aftermath, are now actively progressing. The extension of the product range has already borne fruit and offers the company wider opportunities in the Counter Explosive Ordnance portable x-ray marketplace," Image Scan said.
It added that it has dealt "very adeptly" with the challenging global economic conditions and in particular with the significant inflationary pressures and supply chain delays.
Image Scan's Chief Executive Vince Deery commented: "I am delighted with the work we have undertaken this year to ensure organisation changes and cost controls have had their impact which has helped deliver the hugely welcome return to profit. With the improving market conditions, we wish to build on this result and use the coming period working with significant shareholders to look at the strategic opportunities for growth as a listed business."
Image Scan Holdings Sees Strong Sales, Profit Growth For Year
Bought some at 1.90 .

Trading Update
Image Scan (AIM: IGE), the specialist supplier of X-ray screening systems to the security and industrial inspection markets provides a pre-close trading update for the year ended 30 September 2023 ("FY23").
The Group expects to report strong sales and profit growth for the year. Unaudited revenue is expected to be c. £3m for FY23 (FY22: £2m) an increase of 50% and pre-tax profit c.£0.1m (FY22: £0.35m loss). The Board is very pleased and encouraged with the Company's performance during the year given the market challenges.
The team has shown great energy and enthusiasm in achieving this turnaround. It has dealt very adeptly with the challenging global economic conditions and in particular with the significant inflationary pressures and supply chain delays, the latter of which is now showing signs of improvement.
The uplift in market activity as mentioned in the Interim Results has continued and government opportunities which were suppressed or delayed, by COVID and its aftermath, are now actively progressing. The extension of the product range has already borne fruit and offers the Company wider opportunities in the Counter Explosive Ordnance portable x-ray marketplace.
The industrial activities of the Group have continued at expected levels. The transition of this business to lower cost-based locations in Eastern European and Asia has been well managed in order to mitigate any impact to the Group's revenue and profitability.
The restructuring and cost control programs, previously reported have contributed to the return to profit, coupled with prudent cash management the Company closed the year with £959k cash (FY22 £690k).
Image Scan's Chief Executive, Vince Deery, commented: "I am delighted with the work we have undertaken this year to ensure organisation changes and cost controls have had their impact which has helped deliver the hugely welcome return to profit. With the improving market conditions, we wish to build on this result and use the coming period working with significant shareholders to look at the strategic opportunities for growth as a listed business."

Perhaps corporate activity is afoot or good news on trading / orders is coming. A few good buys can move this share up and down sharply even though there is no news. However I hope things are looking positive for Image Scan financials and SP going forward. Braveheart upping stake a while back adds interest.

Hey IGEers, I've made a post on my page Content for Investors summarising last weeks' interim results - I thought they were excellent and are the first signs of a turnaround happening under new management.
I aim to help get exciting AIM announcements like these noticed by a wider range of Private Investors. If you think this is useful then please drop a like and repost, it would be greatly appreciated.

Lovely to see people buying this up to 2.5p
In their interims they talked about R&D on high end portable products, I'd be very interested to know a bit more about the direction they're taking with this.
both IGE and PMG (worth a look ) doing well today

Early days, but results today indicate the possibility of better times going forward. I have traded this share profitably over the years in addition to long term holding and feel this company now is on the up. There have been added share purchases by by people connected with the company in the past who obviously saw beyond short term issues or had hopes it would get beyond them. I also believe this company might attract interest from others or it could go for acquisition again once continued profitability is confirmed, which in itself should stimulate a rally in the share price.

There was a buy order filled at 2.1p today, the highest in eleven months. If the new management are any good (which I've heard whispers they are) and they steer the good ship IGE back into profitability then this uptick might be the start of some fun.
Braveheart and especially Rise Step's involvement makes things even more interesting - after having a quiet word about the direction of the company and getting one of their men (Sunil Vadgama, someone with great x-ray commercialisation experience) on the board this will be a test of whether they've read the room correctly.
Does anyone know when results are due? The website says H1 prelim results are due April 2023 so hopefully we'll know a bit more in the next few weeks.

Evening Folks,
Have we got any idea what each unit sells for?
SG
3DX-Ray (a wholly owned subsidiary of IGE) have announced that they've sold 'a quantity' of their THREAT SCAN-LSC systems to the Brazilian State Military Police. Whilst not clear how many units, it's now being used by six different state teams (Bahia, Pará, Paraíba, Rondônia, Santa Catarina and São Paulo). Brazil's a big country and these states are geographically dispersed so we can assume it's AT LEAST six units.
Great news and following on from their recent sales in Africa it demonstrates that these Threatscan systems have a global appeal.

Not sure what is "looking good". Fairly lacklustre Annual Report with limited optimism for medium term recovery? Not sure I share your outlook on the company...
Looking good and not long before it going to take off.

Price up on Friday and down today - why? Its the lack of news that I don't understand. Is there really nothing worth reporting, or are they simply not sharing any news with share holders (a bit odd for a plc)?
Interesting burst of activity today and 20% rise. No news as I can see. Been buying for a long time and did so again recently keeping the faith that this company will plod on through thick and thin and eventually come right. Is that about to happen? I wonder , and watch for news.
Trading Update
Image Scan (AIM: IGE), the specialist supplier of X-ray screening systems to the security and industrial inspection markets provides a pre-close trading update of its unaudited results for the year ended 30 September 2022.
Further to our revised guidance issued on 22 February 2022, we confirm that revenues and profit for the year will be below market expectations principally due to the slippage of contracts into next year that had been expected to complete before the year end. The second half has been challenging due to government contract delays and component supply issues which have had an impact across our product range and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
There is an uplift in market activity particularly around government opportunities which have been suppressed or delayed over the past two years. The levels of demonstration activity are improving along with attendance at trade shows - this is encouraging for the coming year.
Although the prospects for the global economy in the months ahead are uncertain and the exchange rate will provide opportunities and risks to the business, we believe that we are well placed to deliver an improvement on this year's suppressed results. This is based on the continued opening of the global market place post pandemic which has allowed our new products greater exposure both at trade shows and through customer demonstrations. Although our opening order book is stronger than last year, our expectations for the coming year are now lower than they were previously expected due to a prudent assessment of the continuing challenges.
Image Scan's Chief Executive, Vince Deery, commented: "Despite the challenges of the uncertain economic outlook, contract delays, supply side challenges and exchange rate concerns we retain our optimistic outlook for the future and an improved 2023. We continue to invest in new products and product developments to maintain and grow our market share."

Nearly every time I buy this share it shows as a sale. Who is trying to manipulate the value of this volatile share?
Share price clearly lower than indicated here. I have made 3 small buys over last fortnight and all show here as sales. I suggest most of these sales are in fact buys.

Yes, agreed, Monty, this is more than just a tip...! Let's see what transpires but, like you, I hope it is something other than a takeover
It is beginning to look like more than a tip in Master Investor two weeks ago. It is illiquid, but for decades a move of over 15% after a rise in prior sessions has often resulted in a takeover bid or very positive RNS. Sadly in the current climate I suspect the former.
