    Quote:We have been keeping a close eye on iCash (ICP)
    for a while; most recently TP updated on the halftime
    result which yielded the groups first net profit
    of $1.86m for h1-10, including a positive return out
    of the Korean business, NEO ICP (without the need for
    transfer pricing). While still a young company, this was
    a significant breakthrough.

    The Australian business model {not unlike that of
    competitor Customers (CUS)} produces a stable,
    recurring revenue stream by placing machines in
    retail outlets and splitting transaction revenues with
    the merchant post costs.
    While still a small player in the Aus market, what
    distinguishes ICP from the likes of CUS is the ability
    (through control of the manufacturing process highly functional and compliant machines to client
    needs. This point of difference leaves it less reliant
    on price in pitching for business; the recently signed
    Metcash agreement illustrating the argument (the
    company signed a preferred supplier agreement in October
    despite ICP being the fourth cheapest on price suggests the other package elements are important). .

    OUR VIEW
    The company is still young, and credibility needs to
    be built before investors can start to feel confident
    the group will deliver what we have described.
    Long term aspirations aside, if the group can
    demonstrate the earnings we expect them to deliver
    for h2-10 and into FY11 with the associated
    improvements in cash flow, the market will be
    forced to sit up and take notice. Indeed, if the
    company produces such a creditable result, what
    may seem like blue sky now could suddenly
    become relevant.
    For those that wish to catch the worm, this warrants
    a harder look.
