Thanks Legins what great "leg work" Kind of you to share that with us. I am often suspicious of the intentions of some research by fellow correspondents but when backed up in the way you have it is very assuring.

Oakapples142. News like this is always worth sharing with others, as saying goes "In giving you will receive". I'll eat my hat if this falls on stoney ground. PDX is very promissing!

Fantastic news for PDX.

Pursuit Dynamics plc ('Pursuit')
First sale into the prepared food market
Pursuit is pleased to announce it has sold its first unit to Welcome Food
Ingredients Ltd ('Welcome Food'), a leading UK-based manufacturer of prepared
foods and similar products.
Welcome Food has bought the first PDX system to be used in production. A PDX
unit has been in operation in a pilot plant at Welcome Food's premises for over
a month. During this period the PDX system has been used in the manufacture of
over 20 products including sauces, soups and stocks. This pilot operation has
demonstrated a reduction in manufacturing times of up to 95% and a reduction in
the cleaning time between batches by as much as 80%.
Alex Sutton, Operations Director at Welcome Food comments: 'We are very
impressed by the speed of the process and with the resulting product. Moreover,
it may enable us to create new sauces, pastes and other products that cannot be
manufactured commercially using conventional processes. The faster cooking and
mixing, together with shorter changeover times, will make a significant
difference to our business.'
John Heathcote, CEO of Pursuit comments: 'We are breaking into a large and
rapidly growing market with a product that has demonstrated major, quantifiable
advantages over existing technologies. The proven benefits of the PDX system
provide a compelling rationale for early adoption by prepared food manufacturers
worldwide. Our sales and marketing effort has generated a very positive response
globally. We are confident that this will prove to be the first of many units
leased or sold into the food processing market this year and we are expanding
our business team to exploit this opportunity. Our business model remains
committed to leveraging the value of our intellectual property by generating
revenue through leasing, licensing and direct sales where appropriate.'

Thank goodness for PDX and there announcement to-day otherwise my portfolio would be in a very sorry state. What do we now make of the 30K exclusitivity deal they have made with AN other until 30 April

If it weren't for the news today absolutely everything in my portfolio would be in the red. Everything else is marked down a ridiculous amount. The old adage of how MM's react is "Someone has sneezed, now everyone has pneumonia!". The US market is not as big as the rest of the world. Tossers!

Yeah wat a depressing day but you need to look forward, everything is going down
only got 3 in the blue.... Still future looks bright for PDX.

AN other agreeing to pay an extra 30K for exclusivity of the PDX technology in their confectionery industry must be worth it to them as the end of April they will have spent a total of 120K. Serious money outlayed already if you ask me! Is the manufacturer paying "exclusivity" for their results or is it for the PDX technology for the confectionery industry?
Given that trials of PDX technology with Welcome Foods has in just 1Mnth approx. is showing astounding results of upto 95% reductions in manufacturing process times and upto 80% reductions in downtime for cleaning and servicing, the rest of the industry, including confectionery, will be crying out for these pumps.
Perhaps now, the confectionery industry could be thinking it's about time to agree terms and cement the deal before they loose out to someone else.

All,
The price has ticked up a tad on a rumour that a confectionary deal will be signed next week.
Worth watching the price AND VOLUME now for clues I think!

Adieh,
Well I have topped up today, and was intending to anyway before the expected announcement, although this is earlier than I expected. I have a decent profit already, so not too worried if they fall a bit.
I saw a reference to it in the trader's room here on AM.

Thanks Andy, yeah I was deliberating whether to purchase more, decided to stay
put on my holding, may top up tomorrow if its positive again. Like the broker comment regarding if deals are signed he can see 4.00 (not ramping). Fingers
crossed.

Oh how its nice to be British(!). This is my champion up 250% on original buy and two more dips since then - intended to go for more to-day but its climbed rather too much initially. I will wait for the profit taking and then go for more. Imagine if there was a deal for Fire Fighting as well as Confectionery!
