I think this is the gist of how it works --NOT CAST IN STONE

Small deals get shown pretty quickly, larger deals get delayed -- probably some time restriction -- but do not need to be shown immediately

While yours is not a huge deal it could be for the share --- this depends on what the mm sizes are on the screen as to whether they delay recognition -- deal outside the size they can delay I think

That's why your purchase can look like a sale if the share price has moved a little between when you buy and when the deal is shown.

ta.
it all sounds a bit fishy.
Hopefully soon to be wrapped in biodegradeable film, and I can stop worrying.

Interesting find from PM1, which is further confirmation of some of my own research and what you have already read here :-

http://www.sustainweb.org/pdf/LFS_MarkBarthel.pdf

Page 19 shows the Salad Bags under trial with ASDA.
Page 23 shows a sealing machine and extolls the advantages of RF.

The pdf document is, I think, slides of a WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) presentation.

wish i'd waited a bit before dipping in.
Soooooooooooooooo DEPRESSING.

Now that's very interesting. That trade of 1.95m shares was shown on the screen at around 8.40am this morning but at 4.1p. When I used the refresh button, it disappeared off the screen and the volume of shares traded dropped by that amount.

It now appears on the screen as a trade at 3.89p. What's the explanation?

Anyone out there cleverer than Pooh Bear?

The oily one

I briefly popped into an ASDA, Watford just now.

I found MadPad's Braeburn Organic Apples from NZ in loose-fill bags (sealed with a bit of a knot of sellotape!). No mention of Mater-Bi, or anything else about the packaging, on the bag. Only the usual guff about origin, storage, addresses etc. Plus a badge of approval from the BioOrganic Assoc (or something like that).

Sounds like MadPad's pommes might be part of an ongoing limited trial - now where have I heard that before?

Do you think Novamont and their shareholders will but up with being w*nk*d about for nearly 2 years with trials?

(Bit tongue in cheek - but expresses some of our frustration!)

PS - no sign of "Mixed pepper Salad" as in page 19 of the presentation I listed earlier today. Another limited trial?

SEO will slowly dwindle to 2p by the end of the year

Novamont broke even in 2002, T/O of 33m Euro and 100 employees.

Novamont founded in 1990, so 12 years to break even!

Also:

"packaging was used for organic food products, in the British chain stores Sainsbury's and Tesco"

and

"Novamont increased the production capacity at its Terni Factory, from 8000 to 20,000 tonnes/year"

So SEO appears to be on a faster track in terms of production, perhaps because of the focus on higher volume products.

I hope so mate as I sold 320,000 at 3.9p so would be great to get the cahnce to re-buy at 2p....If only I were so lucky!

That was a good find from pm1 he has his uses
From the pdf file.

Radio Frequency (RF) technology - leak proof seal for most thermoplastic materials including food packaging trays.
Seals APET to APET, PE, LDPE, PVC and EVOH materials.
Can seal APET to APET - saves cost of PE lamination
Seal is stronger - more durable, increased yield, fewer complaints
Less material: lighter packs
Less material: with reduced costs

No mention of -
-the 70% power saving
-the lower operating temperature and it's possible benefit to the food within.
-the extended shelf life (possibly because of the above).
-works on Starpol!!! and possibly other degradable, starch derived plastics

Maybe WRAP's area of concern is purely packaging materials and processes.
Maybe the 2 new SEO "Interim" Managers will sort out these presentational poiints.
Maybe...
Maybe...

I'm tired. Good night.

Morning all.Tony I dont think your bag was Mater-bi..After all if Sainsburys are telling us all about it on the bag I would have thought ASDA would also be promoting their green credentials,at the very least it should have said "compostible" ,if not what's the point.

Plse correct me if i am wrong but i heard that WM is having a conference on sustainability that will be co-hosted by SEO. Surely WM will not require SEO as a co-host if there was not something in the imminent pipeline?

Co-hosted with Tetra-pak, I think Robin

details here:-

SEO needs all the positive exposure it can muster ..... and that will probably be insufficient

Oblo SEO listed as being present at the event. cheers.

For what its worth:

Partner Host: Tetra Pak
Co-Host: Stanelco

SEO have all the contacts at high level...........just spending cash without any deals being announced. Would like to know what is going on behind the scenes. If the major supermarkets and packaging houses suspected they might go under, it would surprise me if they would wish to be associated with SEO today -- but they are and none of those predicting gloom can deny that.

Would the packagers and supermarkets keep moving ahead with trials and appearing to endorse the SEO intellectual property if there was a wiff of them being ridiculed or losing credibility by association?

That is just one reason I strongly suspect SEO will come through this cashflow crisis, but SEO continue to surprise me, they'll do it again I'm sure.

......a little worried

Garyble

I hope you get the opportunity to buy in again for the rise. With my day job, I would not be around to catch any announcements in time to repurchase.

There are no fundamentals to drive the share price, just speculation. Supermarkets probably couldn't care less whether SEO survives or not. They know that if the company goes under, another organisation will buy what's left for a song and will exploit whatever is there to be exploited.

If this happens, the shareholders will end up with nothing as per Marconi (and others).

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that just because the share price is low it represents value for money.
