Members of the Sequiam China team have formed relationships with sources not easily accessible outside of Asia based largely in part on their multiple years of experience buying for other high volume production lines. Since this team can access suppliers directly Sequiam can eliminate the “middleman" and achieve cost savings that are passed on to their clients.
Sequiam’s US team has many years of experience in production line optimization and has created highly efficient processes that have reduced or eliminated “touch-labor” allowing us to stay competitive with lower labor costs in other countries. Sequiam’s China team is located in close proximity to Shenzhen, the largest manufacturing center in China. This central location has allowed the staff to develop relationships with many factories and vendors located in the area. The combined skill-sets of both teams means Sequiam can always provide the best solution to their clients based on their specific production cost, timing and/or volume requirements.
Sequiam’s manufacturing team analyzes every project up front to determine both initial and future production volumes. This process allows Sequiam to accurately project both the management efforts and investment required to manufacture and test the manufacturing lifecycle. Often times this review helps Sequiam develop a two stage manufacturing approach to production. Stage One production runs are designed for lower volumes and aim to reduce startup costs and lead-times for the customer. Stage Two production scales from stage one and is where product designs and production tooling are enhanced to increase volumes with at the same time reduce per-unit production costs.
Every client that engages Sequiam for its manufacturing capabilities can be assured that the entire production lifecycle will be under continuous review in an attempt to identify areas where efficiencies can be implemented thereby reducing per-unit cost and lead times while simultaneously increase end-user product reliability.
Obviously float on IECM is very low. Doubled today on just a little over 100K shares.
IECM looks like good buy in mid .20 to .40 area!
I started buying IECM this week!
Nice Company. VOIP could be niche for them. Especially overseas concerning the dial-up issues.
Biovault has more practical uses than a Gun Safe!

smartmoney...
I'm not disagreeing about gun locks being cumbersome I am trying to point out that that would be a nice area to have a bio lock. I just think that everyone is focusing on the bio safe as a gun safe and it actually has many practical uses in the home and office, not just for guns.
I'm thinking on getting one for my Viagra....you don't have those issues in the pan handle, fun in the sun, beach walks, excellent weather year around and the excitement of a hurricane or two every now and then!

Kidding about the Viagra….don’t need it…no weak knee here….Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
Knowles you stated publicly and confirmed from Kwikset website in July 07 below. Now what is this about buying at Home Depot again?

Someone help me understand this:
Kwikset SmartScan Deadbolt Satin Nickel
Out Of Stock Online
None on the shelf and you can't buy it on line, what’s wrong with this picture? On-line sales is directly shipped so does this mean that SQUM is void of these items too.
Please help me understand the logic of holding up any sales at this point? It is obvious that there is a production problem here and it points to not having product. Has Nick paying himself and defaulting on the loan placed SQUM in financial distress?
This pos was verified to be way off base.
Is it true that Sequiam shares of common stock have not been registered by qualification, notification or coordination and no permit has been granted, also known as a "Blue Sky Exemption" for their sale in Texas?
Sequiam subscribes to Standard & Poor's "Corporation Records" service that, among other things, serves as a recognized securities manual in many states (38 including Texas) for "Blue Sky Exemption" trading This does satisfy manual exemption requirements.
The Home Depot didn't roll out the lock until July 07. Maybe a small test market but not until May 07.
It just amazes me how someone can claim it is not in Home Depot and rant about it over and over in May and now over 6 months over later to state they bought the lock at Home Depot.
Everyone knows the rollout to Home Depot didnt' start until July. The main point he was trying to make back then was Home Depot wasn't carrying the lock.
All the while he made it clear Home Depot wasn't carrying the product and not on the shelves. Now all of a suddent the lock he purchased back in May he now states he bought it at Home Depot.
Additionally, the locks don't have white plastic covers on the back. Not the ones with proper Kwikset packaging. He claimed the lock he purchased had a white plastic cover. Seems that someone wants to constantly change his story.
All of the info is documented in your posts back in early May 07 on IHUB on the Sequiam board.
Sequiam's agreement with Black and Decker didn't begin until June 1, 2007 so whatever lock you purchased is not covered in the Agreement.
The lock you have which we debated back in forth is not the same lock and you know it.
Sequiam's agreement with Black and Decker Kwikset didn't begin until June 07.
Go back and read your posts in May. We debated this over and over. Just admit you made a mistake and move forward. Then you can find something else to be negative about.
Fujitsu is the major revenue driver for Sequiam.
Obviously you don't understand the Davenport Sales agreement.
Davenport Sales isn't out of the picture. Call Davenport Sales rep Keith Miller. He speaks highly of the relationship and reseller agreement Davenport has in place with Sequiam.
Davenport Sales doesn't slam the product. In fact, I think Davenport Sales efforts were partially a result of the Sharper Image deal.
Where there are positives there are negatives with any company.
Depends on whether you want to focus on the positives or negatives. I for one am a positive thinker and when I find a negative I try to correct in a way to make it better.
Agree it is fruitless to always look at things in a negative manner. Where there is a positive there is always a negative.
However, the over negativity with some individuals has reason for concern about specific issues.
It all depends on how some inviduals deal a negative view on life. Many times it creates something that doesn't make sense and makes people behave in irrational manners. They become consumed in their way of thinking and no one can convince them otherwise.
Black and Decker Kwikset branding was for credibility. Profitability will come from add-on deals. Listen to what they say about engineering concerning Sequiam's relationship with Black and Decker. Also stated on the new updated website as well in print discussing Black and Decker relationship.
"Black & Decker – Sequiam’s relationship with Black & Decker is based almost holistically on engineering capabilities. The SmartScan door lock with integrated biometrics is one of the greatest proof points that Sequiam is an industry leader in designing identity management solutions that maintain the traditional nature of consumer products while at the same time making them more convenient to use.
http://www.sequiam.com/affiliations/
Fujitsu Deal dwarfs the Smartscan Black and Decker deal concerning impact to the bottome line.
Your commments concerning your views were summed up back in May when you claimed the Rebranded Regency Biolock was the same product as the Kwikset Smartscan. They are completely two different products with differerent warranties, and manufactured differently.
Two different products which from your May posts indicate you are discussing the Regency Biolock which turned out to be a defunct company rebrand.
The Sequiam Kwiket Smartscan is completely different product with different agreement and the engineering and constant improvements are taking place on a continual basis.
Your reference to Home Depot is complete speculation and the conference call was very low key and not overhyped.
Product issues are just complete specuation on your part and the first products you tested weren't the actual brand.
When the product is accepted by the consumer then product improvements evolve almost for eternity.
What you buy today will be better if you wait! Then again, if everyone waits then no product comes to market.
The success of biometric applications is growing. Sequiam is not a one product company!
Sequiam New Website updated

You are referring to the Regency Biolock you purchased thru Cyberkey. Knowles, we already had this discussion back early summer.
Sequiam's agreement with Black and Decker/Kwikset wasn't finalized until late May.
The lock you purchased had plastic gearing etc. and was not backed by Black and Decker/Kwikset nor did it have any warranty.
You are confusing Sequiam's Black and Decker Smartscan with the Regency Biolock. Might look the same on the outside but not the same on the inside.
Your problem is due to purchasing the rebranded lock thru Cyberkey. If you had purchased thru Sequiam you would have no problem.
Only your opinion. It really doesn't bother me that you call the lock junk as everything Sequiam launches you call junk.
I do have the opinion you purchased your lock thru a defunct reseller that is no longer in business. Otherwise Sequiam would exchange the lock or Black and Decker would exchange the lock as it carries a 12 month warranty.
However, if you purchased your lock thru Cyberkey which my guess is you did then you really have no backup and are stuck with junk.
If you purchased the lock directly from Sequiam they would exchange. However, I also remember you stating you purchased your lock last spring before the lock was even available on the Home Depot website.
Home Depot, Black and Decker and Sequiam stand behind their products.
Cyberkey is a dead horse.
In the "Line of Duty" Great Video, Demonstration and Further Credibility concerning the Biovault.
http://www.lineofduty.com/content/view/88921/81/
So why can you post on a certain board and every post I make on this board be deleted?
There is a correlation between the issues of this board has with Sequiam for some reason. By way of attacking and coordinating an all out attack in a bashing attempt.
Cyberkey is out of business and on the death bed. Does that mean nobody can say anything to the contrary about Cyberkey?
One questions why the moderator of this board is using this forum to attack other companies which had been engaged in doing busines with this fraudulent company?
What is the issue with Cyberkey and their fraudulent practices?
I completely disagree. Nice return by February if accumulate at the current share price.
Expecting an exciting January!!!!!!!!!!
RTQ .115. Great place to take position
0 shares traded today?
You should refresh your delayed quotes.
Yes, Expecting nice move in Sequiam in 2008. Tax loss selling will be out of the way and this is a good area to take a position.

Hadn't seen the Biovault but good to know they are adding products. I did call Sharper Image last week and talked with a salesperson over the phone and he indicated they were having success in selling the Biobox. Didn't know how the ScanQ was selling but as a owner of a Biovault I feel it is a very good product although not fireproof.
I agree on the distractions. Everyone is on to the game these posters are playing. They really showed their hand today when another new basher started posting about the Transfer Agent being gagged. These guys go out of their way for some reason to spread false information. I don't feel it should be allowed but it is getting easier and easier to rebut their nonsense.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Sequiam subscribes to Standard & Poors “Corporation Records” service that, among other things, serves as a recognized securities manual in many states (38 including Texas) for “Blue Sky Exemption” trading.
This satisfies manual exemption requirements.
Any confusion started by a particular poster about no filing with Texas Securities Commission was only done to create confusion. Basically, a non-issue again concerning the agenda of the "Know" it all that really "Knows" nothing.
Yes the conference call was low key and not a lot of hype which is very uncommon for microcap companies. It was very obivious to me management was in no way trying to hype the stock to attract investors for dilutive purposes.
It takes very little trading volume to move Sequiam in either direction and up volume exceeds down volume by a 4 to 1 ratio.
Expect great things from Sequiam for 2008. It should be a great year for the company.
Nonsense started about Texas.
Sequiam subscribes to Standard & Poors “Corporation Records” service that, among other things, serves as a recognized securities manual in many states (38 including Texas) for “Blue Sky Exemption” trading. This does satisfy manual exemption requirements.
Here is more information on it from S&P if needed.

Standard & Poor's services for Investor Relations professionals and their advisors and legal counsels enable your firm to comply with critical state-level "Blue Sky" statutory requirements.
Public company securities must meet state-level "Blue Sky" statutes before the securities can be recommended to investors in those jurisdictions. Standard & Poor's Corporation Records, published continuously since 1917, has been the premier resource for addressing "Blue Sky" compliance in up to 38 states through "Manual Exemption".
Standard & Poor's Corporation Records facilitates trading for your company's securities, whether it is US-based or global, and particularly if it does not trade on the NYSE, AMEX or Nasdaq. Furthermore, it can provide maximum visibility for your company to individual investors, brokers & advisors, and institutions. There are two services within the Corporation Records Program:
Corporation Records Basic Coverage for fast and efficient inclusion in Corporate Records for "Manual Exemption" purposes
Market Access Program, for maximum visibility provides Corporation Records coverage with enhanced services that prominently project your company through several of the most widely used financial and investment information venues.

Sequiam subscribes to:
Overview
Corporation Records Basic Coverage provides complete in-depth coverage of both domestic and international publicly traded companies.
The monthly volumes contain comprehensive data on the business, finances, securities and background on over 10,000 of the largest concerns, while the Daily News section provides updated information such as management changes and annual and interim earnings for those companies.
Published continuously since 1917, the publication is used by over 250,000 investment officers, pension fund managers, registered representatives and others, and has evolved to meet investor demand for complete corporate data.
Corporation Records is available in print, electronic, CD-ROM, over the Internet, and through NetAdvantage. S&P's NetAdvantage offers online access to S&P's independent research, data and commentary on stocks, bonds, funds and industries.
Exactly, Low key and no hype. This was the message I took from Sequiam's SQUM publicly announced conference call previously announced for all to attentd. No hype and No "Rose Colored Glasses"
For the record, a particular individual on this board has indicated they have contacted the SEC and other authorities to monitor Sequiam. Everyone "Knows" who it is!
We are very interested in the speculative comment brought up by this individual about Sequiam not being registered in the state of Texas. I do hope this individual realizes his posts are being monitored as well. Surely he "Knows"
Let me add, I do feel Blue Sky Laws govern solicitation of securities more as it applies to Broker Dealers and individual brokers but I will leave this open for debate. For the record, I've copied some info concerning Blue Sky Registration requirements.
I feel Sequiam is abiding by all of these terms and the individual that brought this up has an agenda all of his own. By doing so he is opening himself up to liabilities due to his continued obsession on following and posting fraudulent information which in many cases we have found to be outright lies, untrue, while he has coordinated an outside agenda by contacting others to support his claims while this poster supports a bona-fide fraudulent company which is not Sequiam although he is the moderator of another board with a hypocritical viewpoint. Evidently, all of his actions and posts are allowed thru IHUB via the IHUB TOU Agreement which he emphatically uses as supportive evidence to support his efforts when we correct this poster when he is wrong and spams the Sequiam board.
Again, not mentioning any names but 99% of the readers on this board "know" who he is, the company he supports whos CEO has been indicted as well as incarcerated as well as the coordinated efforts he has instigated from other posters on other message boards to support his agenda due to an outright agenda to hype stocks not worthy of hype. There is bona-fide evidence on more one occasion that this particular individual coordinates a conversation amongst himself to support his view!
Otherwise this poster would wisen up and "Know" better. This poster should "Know" that he should provide more info concerning Blue Sky Registration Requirements and trust me his posts are being monitored as well!
Blue Sky Laws
Every state has its own securities laws—commonly known as "Blue Sky Laws"—that are designed to protect investors against fraudulent sales practices and activities. While these laws can vary from state to state, most states laws typically require companies making small offerings to register their offerings before they can be sold in a particular state. The laws also license brokerage firms, their brokers, and investment adviser representatives.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/bluesky.htm
Blue sky laws are state regulations that govern the sale of securities in an attempt to safe guard investors from fraud. The blue sky laws in each state vary in the specific details, but all states require securities, brokers, and brokerage firms to be registered with the state. Although the SEC is the most common enforcer of regulations against fraudulent practices, the states also have the power to go after violators of its anti-fraud, or blue sky, laws. Recently, the state’s authority and power to limit and restrict the sale of securities has declined as not to be duplicative of the federal regulations of the SEC. States are still able to investigate potential fraud and maintain their notice and filing requirements.
There is much more security for investors these days than in the past. The government goes to great lenths to protect the public from fraudlent investments. It is still important not to solely rely on the state and federal regulations to protect you. Research and awareness is the key to being a smart investor and to not get taken advantage of by deceitful investments.

Dylan: The conference call I also agree was held appropriately.
I do not sense that anyone is forcing dilution and overhyping the stock.
The conference call was not conducted in a manner for a hype pump and dump session. I sensed they have a game plan to bring in serious investors. It was very low key and Chris Barrow seems to be very credible.
Let's see what happens after the first of the year.
I'm not expecting major news before the conference call.
There should be enought to discuss and explain in more detail concerning.
1. Black and Decker Smartscan rollout
2. Biovault and Biobox Resellers in addition to Sharper Image.
3. Overseas business. i.e. Bank of Uganda, CJCC
3. Fujitsu.
4. Microsoft and Intel execus joining the B.O.D.
5. Chris Barrow taking responsibility of COO and what appears to be eliminating much of the duties of Nick V.
6. Robert Allen.
Isn't it amazing that some on this board want to discuss the lack of trading volume and make a big deal. Then when a big surge comes in on one day on no news the same posters want to imply it is manipulation.
Manipulation in what means? No news,,,No reason for anyone to buy or trade the stock,,,,,, and out of the blue almost 5 times normal volume and no big deal.
Sequiam is off the radar and off the screen. No big deal.
Nice volume today!
Nice volume today. No news?
I think the lows have been set. Very strong accumulation at this level and a nice return could be made in a very short period of time in my opinion.
Sequiam Fujitsu deal could be much bigger
$600,000 is a fairly large order for just one month for 10,000 units.
Biometric device manufacturer Sequiam Corp. has started production on 10,000 biometric hardware kits for Fujitsu in an initial order worth $600,000, but one that potentially could be worth millions of dollars, company officials say.
The hardware kits will be used by Fujitsu for multiple security access applications including Novell's eDirectory and www.annesdiary.com, which Orlando-based Sequiam (OTCBB: SQUM) touts as the world's first secure social networking site for children, particularly young girls. The site has 600,000 subscriptions around the world.
With biometric fingerprint security, the networking site will be able to keep out hackers and predators, Sequiam founder Nick VandenBrekel says.
The lack of security of social networking sites has been making headlines, most recently when a 13-year-old girl committed suicide after reportedly being bullied online.

One of the subsidiaries that we are most interested in is http://www.annesdiary.com/. This is a blog, chat room and shopping site for young girls. Now this in itself doesn't shout large investment, but the site ‘ClubPenguin.com’ recently sold for $350mn (some reports say $700mn) to Disney. Disney know, as an outlet for targeted advertising this site is great, hence the price tag.
The site itself is, essentially, a closed off world for its users. For a monthly subscription, children are given a fingerprint reader and a blue tooth necklace that detects when a child has left the area of the computer and logs it off. To become a member of the site a child must have their application signed off by a local schoolmaster, police officer or some identifiable responsible member of the community, thus creating a flow of information on exactly who the user is, a verifiable young girl.
The child then logs onto the computer and into Anne’s Diary via the finger print software and the parent knows that everyone she talks to will be verifiable as another young girl. Should a predator get onto the system by manipulating a child, then there is a verifiable and reportable trail of evidence to the person who signed off and who the user is. Even the most stupid of pedophiles would not venture into such a situation and would, more than likely, move on to sites that weren't protected.
And therein lies the rub. Sooner or later sites that do not have the protection offered by Anne’s Diary will begin to suffer. Why? Simple economics. We all know the litigious nature of the US (not a criticism, just an observation).
