Iverson, Alphinat signs QUebec Government contract feb 15 2010
Fresh off the pot, the Quebec government has finally signed the renewal of their agreement, which means Bell Canada can now proceed with several ramifications to be soon announced, meaning the revenues are going to increase going forward.
The Québec government renews the SmartGuide(TM) annual maintenance contract 2/15/2010 9:13 AM - Canada NewsWire
MONTREAL, Feb. 15, 2010 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) -- Alphinat Inc. (TSX-venture : NPA) is pleased to announce that the Québec government has renewed the annual maintenance contract for the SmartGuide(TM) license used to deploy e-government services to better serve constituents and enterprises.
The "ministère des Services Gouvernementaux" acquired the government license of SmartGuide in 2007 in order to deploy e-government services allowing constituents and entrepreneurs to interact in a more efficient fashion with government. Since then, over thirty Web applications have been deployed online by various ministries and agencies of the Quebec government.
"We are pleased with this vote of confidence from the Quebec government and look forward to continuing to participate in modernizing government operations" says Philippe Lecoq, President and CEO of Alphinat.

Re: NPA.v @ .085$, appoints investor relation ...
I definitely IR will increase liquidity and the share price. and if I was a potential acquirer, I would say we aren't that far off, because you don't want to overpay. Alphinat just hired QIS Capital, they sealed deals with Bell and the French government, and they claim to be working on a partnership for North America (ie USA) in their latest MD&A. Lots on the table, not withstanding the Swiss GOvernment who still has only one Canton signed up (with 10 licenses), but we all know that Alphinat made an exhaustive to them on nov. 18 2009 for expanding their service throughout. And see the link below for confirmation:

Therefore, I think we are getting pretty close to a pop....
Re: NPA.v @ .085$, appoints investor relation ...
Nice choice Tara. You've been on this one for a while. I looked at the shoutbox on Pinnacle and saw you posted about them almost two years ago. With the recent price increase, any thoughts of selling? Or are you hoping the IR will help broing liquidity and hopefully a higher share price?
NPA.v @ .085$, appoints investor relation firm QIS Capital
http://www.qiscapital.com/showpage.php?article_id=440
Keep your eye on Alphinat, they just hired the “Top Gun Investor relation firm in the Canadian Small Cap Arena”. With QIS Capital providing exposure, and informing its web of savvy investors, who have clearly demonstrated over the years they have an appetite for small cap stocks, especially when the story is palpable such as in Alphinat’s case, the stock price should break out of its current range.
The obvious signs and characteristics for a price run-up on a small cap are clear for Alphinat:
• Hired QIS Capital, one the most influential IR firm in the Canadian Small Cap arena
• Recent insider buying
• Just turned a profit
• No long term debt
• Recently signed very meaningful contracts and partnerships: French Government, Bell Canada Partnership
• Proprietary software and trading at very low market capitalization which makes Alphinat an acquisition target
• Small free float, allowing quick ramp up of the share price
• Wealthy management team who has funded the company thus far (working capital)
• High quality customers (governments) who pay well and offer recurring revenues
• High gross margins with very low cost structure, allowing quick impact on profitability once contracts kick in
QIS Capital will surely live up to its expectations with the above parameters, and move the share price out of its current trading range. And here’s why QIS is a prime choice over many other IR firms when dealing with a Canadian Small Cap ( my opinion):
• QIS will translate their report into Chinese, for dissemination in the wealthy Asian community of the Vancouver area;
• QIS is well connected in the Oil & Gas money flowing in the Alberta region;
• QIS is in contact with an investor base that has a demonstrated appetite for penny stocks;
• QIS management are also the principals who organize the Small Cap Conferences/Symposium, which will enhance visibility for Alphinat;
• QIS is well entrenched with practically all the movers and shakers evolving around the Canadian Small Cap interests, with prominent figure heads making regular appearances on TV( such as BNN);
For recent proof of their price impact, check out the most recent proven results on the following (3) stocks:
Boyuan (BOY.v)
Jite Technologies (JTI.v)
And Synergex (SYX.v)
Of course, once again, the above is simply my personal understanding and not to be construed as investment advice. I’m not a broker, promoter, director, manager or employee of the aforementioned company, just a shareholder. Some typos could have occurred , do your own due diligence.
NTG Clarity (NCI.v) @ .045$ Appoints Investor relation firm QIS
NCI.v @ .045$, appoints investor relation firm QIS Capital
NTG Clarity (NCI.v) now has everything under its belt for price multiplication. The winning combination of undervalued accounting parameters and sought characterics are:
• Appointed QIS Capital, one of the most reputable firm in the Canadian Small Cap arena, known for its share price impact; recent proof of price runups are BOY.v, JTI.v
• Recent insider buying by the CEO and chairman
• Share buyback in place
• Trading below working capital per share ( .07$)
• Trading below book value ( .06$)
• Trading below accounts receivables per share (.14$)
• Profitable in 15 of the past 19 quarters
• High gross margin >50%
• The company has backlog of contracts on the books
• Long term debt is very minimal and not a concern (about $500k)
• The company has no lawsuits
• The company has a team of high calibre experts with contacts, and over 100 employees/consultants with almost 20 years of existence
• The company recently announced an important joint venture in the middle East, along with opening an office in the region; and any middle east investment by these interested parties could dramatically move the share price
• Expenses are well under control with reasonable salaries
• The company trades at significantly undervalued trailing net earnings multiples ( 2008 EPS = +.02$/share)
And last but not least, one should pay close attention to forward looking statements in the QIS report (see the following link: http://www.qiscapital.com/showpage.php?article_id=437 ) “ Given recently announced agreements and an improved revenue stream, it appears that Q3 results should be repeatable which could translate into annualized earnings (pre-tax) of over $1.0 million or $0.04 per share. Despite this potential, NTG Clarity continues to trade below working capital value attributing nothing in share value towards the current or future profitability of the company. “.
Needless to say, QIS Capital will surely live up to its expectations with the above parameters, and move the share price out of its current trading range.
Of course, once again, the above is simply my personal understanding and not to be construed as investment advice. I’m not a broker, promoter, director, manager or employee of the aforementioned company, just a shareholder. Some typos could have occurred , do your own due diligence.

Re: Pinnacle's Stock Challenge
Hi TA_Sleuth. If your blog is imformative,worthwhile providing facts and knowledge that others are seeking, you will receive points. Bashing and making derogatory statements without facts can lead to minus points. Sometimes,however,the truth is not always accepted as the gospel and you end up being crusified for your beliefs. The problem is,because of this,We end up with a lot of goodie two shoes bloggers patronizing pumpers and dumpers and getting plus points. Forget about points, medals, stripes and ribbons. Just post what is on your mind.The truth will set you free.
