Sense Holdings - Detecting a Winner.
If
one could personify profit potential in a smallcap investment, it would
likely have similar characteristics to those of biometric company Sense
Holdings (OTCBB:
SEHO): amazing proprietary security/detection technology (a dozen
worlwide patents/licenses issued or pending) a market cap of just over
$8 million and a low share price (around 25 cents).
As you read on, we're confident you'll
agree that it's hard not to make a case for ownership of SEHO shares by
risk-oriented investors.
Tuesday's press release (see below)
details the impressive progress SEHO has made in the development of its
handheld detection technologies. So much so that the Company plans to move
the initiatives into the commercialization phase later this year.
We continue to believe that the
profit potential for shareholders who get onto SEHO early--read at these
levels--will be significant in the 6-12 months hence.
SEHO's detection technology works
at the molecular level. A useful analogy demonstrating the robustness of
the technology can be illustrated thusly: if a packet of sugar was dissolved
into a swimming pool, the device could detect a molecule of sugar in the
water. Now replace that molecule of sugar with TNT, heroin or anthrax--or
any other substance within those categories--and water with air. The wide-ranging
applications of the technology, not to mention the profit potential should
come into very keen focus for shareholders.
Let's
look at the technical trading picture:
As you will recall from our October
Trading
Alert, Beacon Equity Research produced a report and subsequent
update targeting the shares to rise to 75 cents over the next few months--a
triple from current levels. For our part, the shares have retraced 5/8
of last summer's up move. We like to get on stocks with this type of retracement
pattern.
With a small amount of momentum--given
the volatility of the shares and the decent volumes--this could well be
an excellent entry point for a positive run. The price consolidation over
the last few months bodes well for a move higher.
Tiny Detectors. BIG Bombs. Huge
Potential.
I won't waste any ink on reiterating
how dangerous a place the world has become. We know that. What we need
are easy to use, cost effective, cutting edge products to avert those dangers.
Alongside several proprietary biometric
detection systems, SEHO's technology is on the forefront of the detection
of explosives, narcotics and biological threats. In cooperation with the
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) the Company is rapidly developing
technologies that will likely allow it to enter the commercialization phase
of these handheld devices later in 2006.
From the release:
Sense also has expanded licensing
and patent agreements with Oak Ridge and now owns all worldwide exclusive
rights to the sale, manufacturing and distribution of this major new platform
technology and all of its applications to detect explosives, chemical threats
and narcotics. In addition, Sense has retained the right to acquire additional
licensing rights for all biological sensing applications in the future.
As well, since ORNL is managed for
the US Department of Energy, it's not much of a leap to conclude that SEHO
occupies a favored place versus competitors to have its technology eventually
deployed by the Government for Homeland Security applications.
As well, it is also not much of a
further leap to see selected of these robust, cost-effective applications
used in just about any venue where the public congregate--churches, hospitals,
sporting events etc. From our November
14th piece:
... the flexibility, customization
and robust nature of Sense's technology and products will undoubtedly open
it up further to even larger markets in the private and commercial arena.
Security and detection of a myriad of threats has become the province of
corporations and businesses as well as all levels of government.
Realistically, this handheld detection
technology could be used for airport luggage/passenger screening, a police
officer sweeping a suspect's car, looking for biological agents in a hotel
and virtually everything in between.
It should be obvious that the government/commercial
potential is enormous for this type of detection technology. SEHO's patent
protections, extremely competitive cost effectiveness coupled with ever
increasing sensitivity and rapidly reducing size of the chips responsible
for the detection will undoubtedly keep its technology at the forefront.
Need another example? Perhaps
the greatest terrorist risk comes from the thousands of cargo containers
that land on US shores daily. Only 2 percent are swept for explosives or
other nastiness. Picture the potential uses and profitability of deploying
these handheld detection units at ports in the US or indeed worldwide.
Finally, let me know if you can think
of somewhere that wouldn't benefit from SEHO's detection technology, because
I can't.
With commercialization likely on
the horizon, accumulation of SEHO shares now looks like exactly the right
timing.
PRESS RELEASE
Sense Holdings Reports Key Progress
in Development of Handheld Explosives Detection Device Technology
Sense R&D Partner Oak Ridge
National Lab Designs New Generation MEMS Chips for Multi-Use Bomb and Chemical
Detector
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Jan. 24, 2006--Sense Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:
SEHO - News; FWB:OUP), a developer of next-generation biometric
and explosive detection security technologies for government and commercial
security markets, today announced important recent progress report under
a research and development project with the U.S. government's Oak Ridge
National Laboratory to develop a new line of handheld multipurpose explosive
and chemical detection device products for the global homeland security
marketplace.
The recent advances include
the development of a new generation of enhanced explosive detection chips
with a range of enhanced capabilities, including increased detection sensitivity,
increased flexibility and lower costs.
Sense is developing proprietary
advanced Micro Electromechanical Sensor (MEMS) technology to create a line
of low-cost, multi-use, handheld detection devices that security and law
enforcement personnel can use to screen for concealed explosives, narcotics
and chemical and biological threats. Sense is developing the technology
under a joint research and development project with the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL), an advanced research facility managed through the U.S.
Department of Energy.
The Oak Ridge-based scientific
team working under the Sense Holdings agreement has designed a new generation
of explosives detection chips that have shown improved sensory capabilities
in ongoing experiments. These MEMS-chip components will be used to enable
more sensitive detection of a variety of explosive materials that could
be used in concealed bombs. The new-generation MEMS chips are also smaller
than previous versions, with each chip now measuring 2mm x 3mm yet containing
six sensors.
Other recent progress
under Sense Holding's exclusive research and development agreement with
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) includes the completion and installation
of advanced laboratory and experimental equipment.
"Since executing our
Company's CRADA research and development agreement with Oak Ridge in November,
we have made exciting strides in our research facilities, scientific resources
and the detection technology itself," said Dore Perler, CEO of Sense Holdings.
"We believe this accelerated progress will enable us to move the explosive
detection technology into the commercialization phase this year."
Sense has focused its
initial efforts at Oak Ridge on developing for commercialization a powerful
explosives detection technology, whose key advantages would include low
cost, extremely high sensitivity and real-time operation while maintaining
an almost complete immunity to false alarms. The technology is based on
novel chips that would each fulfill different detection needs in the war
on terror, including hidden bombs, unexploded ordnance and landmines.
"Additional research
and development will enable us to develop more chips for testing, which
will ultimately go into the final product," said Bruce Warmack, Principle
Investigator on the Oak Ridge/Sense joint development project. "Our
goal is to produce a range of different chip sets for different applications,
with each chip set having perhaps a dozen or more sensors, each responsible
for sniffing out, or sensing, different types of chemical, biological and
narcotic agents."
A combination of U.S.
agencies over the past decade has dedicated about $10 million to ORNL for
the further development of this MEMS-based sensor technology, including
the US Department of Energy.
"We feel confident that
these tiny but highly robust sensors will be a valuable contribution to
U.S. Customs, border patrol, and law enforcement for applications such
as sniffing out cargo containers along with many other potential uses,"
Mr. Perler said. "Many advanced explosive detection technologies are quite
expensive, but a key part of Sense's business strategy is to produce a
next-generation detection device that will be extremely affordable, in
order to put the this safety and security technology within reach of all
the agencies and organizations that need such products, in the United States
and around the world."
As previously announced
Sense also has expanded licensing and patent agreements with Oak Ridge
and now owns all worldwide exclusive rights to the sale, manufacturing
and distribution of this major new platform technology and all of its applications
to detect explosives, chemical threats and narcotics. In addition, Sense
has retained the right to acquire additional licensing rights for all biological
sensing applications in the future.
