Gary,
'ASDA will most likely want at least and equivelant extension to the exclusivity period'

SEO have agreed to extend the exclusivity period for two months from the time of the first commercial conversion - this came from the AGM. So another 4 months of exclusivity, if the 8 week to first commercial conversion is realistic.

Assuming (hoping) there will then be a queue of potential customers wanting trials, aren't they going to need rather more than the three machines they have at present?

JJS,
'Looking undervalued even to the sceptics now LOL !' I'm sceptical of everything SEO say nowadays but I wouldn't still be in if I didn't think the SP was undervalued.

BTW, sorry I said you had predicted a 25 SP - It was actually PM1, but you're becoming so indistinguishable I thought I was talking to him!

Explosive,

Before you blow early on the Starpack awards, it's going to be a tad delayed, LOL !

I just had a reply from Terry, he's out of the office, but got back to me from his blackberry with the following :-

"This year we put no products in for Starpack awards as the rules state that the products must be on the market during the previous 18 months, so we decided that next year they would be better placed and better known to the judges. The other reason is that as I am chairman of the judging committee it would be better for impartiality to wait until I retired from being senior judge as I have been for the past 5 years. This year was my last (I think)"


I hope this post is not to 'ramping' for Oblomov

Oblomov,

You must have a screw loose if you say broker reccomendatios are 'hype', where do you think institutions get their info ???????????


Hilarious. What do you think the function of a broker (particularly house broker) is? There are dozens of shares whose sp has fallen (or risen for that matter) contrary to the statements made by brokers. And some are more trustworthy than others, particularly on small caps - you only need to look at those who have been taken to court for insider dealing and manipulation.

And as for institutions? Their judgement is often that of fund managers who are useless.

Do us a favour PM1 and at least try to write in a different style than that ramping cut n paste king.

LOL what a load of self-opinionated BS !!

Do us a favour and bog off back to bprg or wherever you crawled from !!

Thats more like the Old PM1 I knew!

Cue reams of cut n paste articles plus the words might, cusp, possibly, holding talks, continuing trials.

I give up.

zscrooge - pleased you spelt 'cut n paste' correctly, not sure about 'cusp' though! or is that the lastest euphemism?

Both are on the cusp of full commercialisation eric.

End of day I think everyone sitting on these shares knew they would be a long play. Whats another year, if all this does end up materialising think of the profit!!

I was expecting a long play, but this is like the Lord of the bloody Rings (or The Ice Man Cometh, for those older amongst you)! I expect to die one day (I'm only in my fifties) - I'm just hoping they can convert a few machines before that happens! lol

Just how I feel

Pack Expo International is one of the biggest, if not the biggest exhibition in the World with several hundred exhibitors. I can't find any reference under exhibitors listed to Stanelco or any linked company. Looking at the site I initially found that unbelievable. Why wouldnt Stanelco be at one of the largest packaging showcases of the year?
I then considered a different scenario. Perhaps SEO know that it would be a waste of time, money and effort. What if there is such a queue of potential customers wanting trials say over the next 12 months, they know that there is no point in looking for extra customers. There is no point in attracting potential customers if you then have to turn them away in the short to medium term. Stanelco's biggest showcase ever will be if/when Walmart get on board. I wonder how many companies are now following Stanelco's progress, with Greenseal and Starpol.
We have already received plenty of hints (ok rumors perhaps) of other such companys interest, McDonalds for one example. When the exclusive tie-in period Seo/Asda is completed, there will be in my opin'ion a large queue forming at Seo's checkout for their products. Obviously all imho, and I welcome any other thoughts from fellow posters.

Possibly comes down to manpower, greekman. with SEO having to man so many fronts at present. When reading about SEO in talks and meetings with the like of WM, McD, etc I think we tend to forget what a tiny setup they are. Does anyone know the total number of employees?

Hopefully they are using their manpower to concentrate on the important areas rather then spread themselves to thinly. They cant be everywhere.

Oblomov,

Yes, that's what I was saying. They are as you say a small company. They are I hope being carefull that they don't overstretch themselves. If they get as big as their potential appears to be who knows.

Oblomov,

Last I heard there were 46 staff, hopefully a few more sales people now.

Oblomov,

Thanks for failing so dismally at your challenge, says it all about you really.

Oblomov,

Here's a challenge for you, though I fully expect you to fail.

Don't mention PM1 in any post for a whole week



oblomov - 10 May 2006 20:01 - 16442 of 16453

Thats more like the Old PM1 I knew!

Oblo,

From the 2005 annual report:
3. DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES
The average weekly number of persons (including Directors) employed by the Group during the year was:

Management 13
Administration 8
Sales 3
Manufacturing and engineering 28
TOTAL: 52

Garyble,

Thanks for clarifying that :)

With only 13 Management and 3 Sales they must be working their socks off getting round all these meetings with Walmart and its suppliers, Perseco and its suppliers, ASDA, and all the other prospective clients. No wonder they called in Graham Whitchurch to help, probably a few others from around the group too !

Interesting
