The whole world is now ON ALERT - HIGH ALERT.>>>This is effectively giving GOS a Silver Bullet of Solutions to Governments and Large Institutions and Multi National Companies who NOW really DO need to increase spending whatever the cost on Fortifying their defenses.In step GOS Systems.SO if anyone is thinking £30m back then is still the same.

Updated GOS Systems Presentation 07/01/2015 070 RNSNON Touchstone Gold Limited GOS Systems Investor Presentation "London, 7 January 2015 - The Board of Touchstone is pleased to notify shareholders that an updated investor presentation is now available on the Company's website which covers GOS Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Please visit the Company's website: www.touchstonegold.com."[link] GOS Systems January 2015[link] Quite superb stuff!! Reading this new presentation, one can't help but be struck by the sheer class and quality of this company, and its quite stunning value at the current lowly market cap. It seems to have everything: huge growth market, essential services, recurring revenues, high barriers to entry, high margins, and a hugely impressive management team. What's not to like?! The company has invested millions of pounds on R&D to develop its tech products, and those alone should cover the current market cap. at 0.625p. Big data: big opportunity!!

Smart Desk Systems On 21st. November 2014 TGL's Chief Operating Officer Franz Forrester and Company Secretary Trevor Wells were both appointed as directors of Smart Desk Systems.Smart Desk Systems is headed by Steve Berry (its Executive Chairman), who is also Chief Executive Officer of TGL's recent acquisition GOS Systems.And Messrs. Forrester and Wells replaced Peter McKee and Don McQueen, both also of GOS Systems.[link] its website Smart Desk Systems looks like an impressive outfit, and would certainly be a substantial and exciting RTO for TGL.And moreover complementary to GOS Systems."Intelligent Communication SolutionsSmartDesk makes smart messaging solutions. They create a vital edge for businesses by helping them communicate better, enhancing efficiency and improving the customer experience, whilst reducing operational cost."[link] Systems + Smart Desk Systems.These two companies would be a good fit inside TGL, both in terms of type and quality of business, personnel, and even their names!SDS may well be TGL's preferred RTO (reverse takeover) target, and there is a good chance that news on this front may be forthcoming in the New Year.A Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to everyone!

Re: Good GOSh!!! 15/12/2014 070 RNSNON Touchstone Gold Limited Update on Investee Company GOS Systems" ... GOS has secured a contract with a national law enforcement agency in the Asia Pacific region to supply its cellular identity solutions.This is an initial agreement that will be fulfilled in the months ahead, and may lead to additional sales with the customer. The contract is significant as a reference for other national law enforcement agencies that are currently in the business development pipeline.Additionally, GOS has also received material orders from existing customers. It should be noted that an important business development initiative that has been successful in the past few weeks is an order for an equipment upgrade from a European law enforcement agency.These orders give GOS' management further confidence that, following the restructuring of GOS Systems, not only has the existing customer base remained intact, but that business development and expansion plans can be implemented with confidence.The aggregate value to GOS of these two sets of contracts for the calendar year of 2015 is approximately GBP300,000. A further update on the business plan and revenues beyond the next few months will be provided at the end of Q1 2015. ... "[link] Systems has won £300K. of new contracts in just under one and a half months under TGL's ownership.If that rate of contract wins was kept up, it would equate to about £2.5M. ofnew contract wins p.a.Starting from a revenue base of a couple of million pounds or so p.a., that would equate to growth of over 100% p.a.And it could give GOS Systems annualised revenues of about £4.5M. p.a. by the latter part of next year.Compare to Falanx Group (FLX) in a related field of operation:Revenue of £4.436M. in the year ending 31.3.14Market cap. £18.93M. at 37p[link] looks to be more consultancy and cyber-focussed than GOS Systems, without GOS's cellular capabilities, and lacking GOS's range of intellectual property.This probably means that FLX has lower barriers to entry and margins than GOS, and a lower proportion of recurring revenues.[link] Systems is high growth and high margin, with recurring revenues, and great intellectual property (13 families of patents).And GOS Systems is only part of the TGL story!

Re: Another impressive new director Thanks Man Who Can!And please keep up your own excellent contributions: although they are not frequent, they are very high quality.08/12/2014 070 UKREG Touchstone Gold Limited Appointment of New Director"London, 8 December 2014 - Touchstone, the AIM listed investment company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Almeida to its Board as non-executive director.... He continues as advisor to early stage technology companies, including businesses in the 'big data' sectors. ..."[link] wonder if any of those 'big data' companies that TGL's new director is advising are looking to come to market? Via a RTO?It's certainly interesting that the RNS about Richard Almeida singles out big data in particular for a specific mention, and nothing else currently.And big data is an area that looks to be very complementary to both quantum computing, and GOS Systems:"Leading the way with tactical and strategic intelligence gathering and secure communication solutions for law enforcement, homeland security and government agencies around the world."[link] addition, it's also an area which may well be one of the 'next big things'." ... Growth stock expert David Thornton says: "If you don't invest in Big Data small caps NOW – you stand to miss out on the most rampant bull market of the next 5 years!"... For the first time ever, we are able to make sense of all the information we are collecting...This new breakthrough is called 'BIG DATA'.And it is being put to extraordinary uses – unlocking a new wave of breath-taking innovations…It is being harnessed in ways that will change every industry on the planet, including: energy, medicine, business, biotech, and agriculture.Over the last year or so we have started to make the transition from having so much information it's virtually useless…To being MASTERS of our knowledge and data. What used to take months or years to accomplish can now be done in hours or minutes.We now have the capability to sift through masses of information in moments… and it's fuelling some incredible breakthroughs.From the useful:Like tracking your run on a Sunday jog… making sure you pay less for aeroplane tickets… or checking your glucose levels on your smartphone.To the incredibleecoding our DNA sequence… 3D printed artificial limbs, intercepting terrorist attacks before they occur … isolating cells that cause cancer… even re-growing body parts.All of this will soon be possible, and used to improve our lives in ways often imagined but never before possible.Yes, these are all remarkable breakthroughs… you may already have started hearing about them in the news or seeing reports in the paper… But as a growth stock expert, I am most qualified to show you how you could make money out of what's happening. ..."[link]
