Nice find I didn't know SEO made biodegradable bags I thought that was sp metal our other half?

Does harmony mean sheep to the slaughter?

My hunch is to hold fire .A lot of people are expecting news to be released next week.
What will happen if none is released?
IMO the show will further consolidate Stanelcos presence in the minds of potential purchasers.

Has anyone read the Teather & Greenwood report.

I thought it was a good report erring sensibly on the side of caution re uptake of machines & downplaying Walmart & Starpol potential.
However I was surprised that no mention was made of the Bioprogress Court case.Is this a good sign?
Also good to see that they have 4 million cash at year end.


Someuwin - good find - lets hope the UK & other EU countries follow suit.

Next week could be a good time to top up for the long term after the dust settles.

HEWITTALAN6.
re your last. I suspect an rns will follow Tues. I agree with you, I'm holding off buying until late next week. I suspect a lot of peeps will take a small profit over a serious potenial investment.
hopefully a small drop in sp will favour the brave.
We could always just dump carrier bags all over the city and then push for a green alternative.....environmental capitalism......i like it.

Agree totally with cantlose. I prefer to see what next week actually brings and then make a decision. Has sp recovered based on this weeks RNS or is it in anticipation of something next week? An announcement with Walmart before full approval of FDA? This weeks RNS offers encouragement that 200 machines will happen with a rapid scale-up next year but is has to happen as the sp is only justified by that happening followed by further expansion. I'd also like to see some profit projections for Starpol, there are a lot of packaging companies doing big volume with retailers and being busy-fools, lots of volume, minimal profits.
I like the idea if Walmart want large volume that SEO licence the IP.
Long-term this remains a fantastic company, next week we will see how the market has really reacted to this weeks very promising reports.
I still have the chance for back in below 20p so I'll wait and see.

News showing on Reuters out of Orlando about Stanelco and France's announcement.

Stanelco's starch-based packaging approved in EU

By Ahmed ElAmin
14/10/2005 - The use of polylactic acid (PLA), a natural, biodegradable food packaging alternative, took another step forward this week, as UK-based Stanelco said its application has been approved for use throughout the EU and the US.

Many analysts believe that biodegradable packaging has a bright future. Growing environmental awareness and consumer power coupled with the inexorable rise in pre-packaged disposable meals means that food manufacturers and packagers are increasingly being targeted to improve their environmental performances

I was asked to post this here by a poster on advfn, if anyone has any thoughts i'll let him know.

Hi. I'm an bprg investor but have a couple of questions of mutual interest. before people say anything, i don't subcribe to or agree with the petty rivalry between the two companies (as a couple of seo investors who ventured on the bprg thread can probably confirm).

anyway, i would like both companies to make success of their respective business. there is discussion of the court case (cc) on the bprg thread and i wondered whether it is discussed here. for me i think there is merit for both companies in a deal to resolve the case. for seo it would remove uncertainty, deal with a potential liability and would allow them to focus on there core activities including greenseal, frogpack, etc.

could people say what the view of ingel and the cardinal deal is? is anything happening? is it dead? is it on hold? does ingel really form part of seo's business now?

i am not trying to be antagonistic. bprg has had a major strategic review and the management are now focused on what is strategic important for revenue, growth and what is most important for the business. it seems to me that seo has huge potential in its technologies such as greenseal and that Ingel isn't now in the price and could be more of a diversion than an asset. is that you view or do you disagree? if seo and bprg settled the cc with the three patents going to bprg and ingel effectively closing but with reduced damages paid would this actually be a benefit to seo?

i have no reason to think that a deal can or will be done but i am very interested in the opinions of seo investors and also whether anybody talks to seo's management about these issues?

Gave what answer i could on ADVFN.

For what its worth, and from a business point of view, I am of the opinion that any court case is a gamble for both sides, and the longer it drags on and the more questionable the points of law and value of the patents become, the more likely it is that either or both parties will take a pragmatic view, and the whole thing will disappear without a trace, or be resolved amicably, with neither side losing too much and the lawyers booking more exotic holidays!!
Don't know if this is what you were referring to, but it is a tried and trusted method among businesses to start with litigation and end with mediation. Call it the equivalent of a trial of strength or a staring game, where no-one wants to blink but eventually become bored and their eyes start to hurt.
Not overly concerned about the legal wranglings.
Alan

Alan - best make sure you're not dumping Asda bags across the city!

With regard to next week, I'm not sure we are expecting concrete news. We may get a better idea on strategy and corporate responsibility going forward.

I only live 2 miles from Asda HQ. Now that place really does need recycling. What a dump!!!
Alan

I have always said that SEO should buy out bprg then that would be an end to it.

driver

A quid per share and they can buy my shares!

May be a merge then, I wouldn't want to see you get too much out of it.

No, no. You've got hold of the artists impression, post refurbishment and modernisation!!
Alan

A perfect example of mugs rushing in to buy a "cheap" shre, back to sub 14p very soon

OBLOMOV WAS THE ONE WHO USED TO BCK pm UP TO THE HILT WHEN HIS RAMPS SUITED HIM

I believe Stanelco did in fact look at buying-out Bioprogress but were advised not to touch it with a barge-pole. I'm paraphrasing, but that was the gist.
