I seem to remember the next RNS announced that after a 3 day trial period it been succesfully filled with 0.989 litres of water and that hopes were high that 3 mugs of tea would be produced shortly........

I believe that an RNS is due on Monday, my inside info is that, due to the fact that one of the mugs had a cracked handle, only two were produced.

The two produced were of an unacceptable strength and one didn't even contain the correct amount of sugar. There is also an issue with the milk not lasting the length of the trial but R&D are experimenting with starch based whitener.

I think the issue has been sorted Alan, apparently supplies department had bought the ingredients from somewhere other than ASDA

I will be long retirement before then if my PCM take's off.

I dont think your No9 I'm a committed long-term shareholder will make me add more SEO to my portfolio but I do agree with the rest
P.S what about the biodegradable corks that can be No 11

Stockdog
I have not looked recently, but last time I did there were a number of solid institutions backing SEO.

I am aware of the Howard White thingy but could you tell us of the others?

driver - I just wanted to make it a round 10 reasons!

zscrooge - you're right I shouldn't post unsubstantiated remarks. Does anyone have Level 2 to look at who the major shareholders are apart from Age of Reason who still owns about 24% from memory? I hope there are some! Please list them here if you find any.

as far as the kettle trials, I understand the biodegradable tea-bags have now had to be withdrawn. apparently their customers were spitting!

Hello once again,

I like the way the price is heading back up, I hope it reaches a higher trading range next week, maybe it's the right time for some price moving news to get a new upward trend going ?

Does anyone have the brokers note from 28th Feb ?

I'm not sure there was one JJS, haven't seen anything anyway.

Is this the nowt thread !!!! -

How's it going with Base Group, JJS? Are the MMs still short of stock or did you sell your 4 million?

Hello Lindos,

You beat me to it, as I just went to post that on another website, and found someone had beaten me too it there too, but with a bigger summary of the note as follows :-



The Company hopes to announce production JVs with Wal-Mart suppliers before mid-year. Ahead of firm contracts our forecasts remain only projections, but the opportunity is more impressive than ever.

The UK food packaging market is more advanced than the US in terms of technology, but is dwarfed in scale. For instance each year Wal-Marts suppliers use over 75,000 tonnes of plastic to supply just one line of food tray. Wal-Mart wants to go sustainable and to save money.

the projection for FY07 and FY08 could well be cautious. The type of tray mentioned on page 1 require over 500 tray-lidders in the US

Stanelcos bioplastics will work happily with existing heat-sealing units, but Wal- Mart has specified its support for Greenseal as well as bioplastics. Therefore we believe suppliers are likely to support both projects in tandem. The first US-adapted Greenseal unit has been installed at Advanced Technologies, Stanelcos US engineering partner.

(Starpol) Stanelco will supply the plant and the know-how. In return it expects to make a 15% operating margin supplying plastics to the tray-makers. At around 1,500 per tonne, this implies sales per unit of 31m and OP of 2.3m. Stanelco hopes also to negotiate an upfront fee and a small royalty on the converters own sales revenue. We have not factored either of these into our projections.

We have had detailed discussions with one of Stanelcos major US supporters, a household name with sales over 10bn. Its head of packaging research and development rated Stanelco a world-leader in three out of five categories of sustainable plastics. This has given us great confidence in Stanelcos near-term prospects in North America.

The Wal-Mart bioplastics opportunity on its own supports the current share price. It has global sales of over $300bn, including about $100bn of food. Packaging usually contributes 4% to 5% to the price of food, suggesting a global spend of $4bn to $5bn. Even if Stanelco only captures 5% of this figure, its revenues would exceed $225m. On a 15% margin its profits would be nearly $34m, implying taxed profits of about 12m. On merely a 12x multiple (allowing for ramp-up) this implies a value of 144m.

Managing director Howard White controls 23% of the Company, probably a blocking stake. But the Company would make a logical target for Cargill, whose own PLA material is likely to be displaced by the Starpol family.

Thanks JJS - good reading.

VERY INTERESTING READING.
Thanks.
Lets hope for some actual deals soon.
Rumours of a buyout would'nt hurt the sp either.
I hate it when I become attached to a share, but I really do hope SEO reaches it's full potential.
be lucky

The report also confirms the post by ssanebs regarding the fixed tooling problems with greenseal.
