The fact of Environmmental damage, energy shortages - - -etc. - - -does NOT mean that SEO will come good! All it means is "There is an Opportunity" - the problem with outfits like SEO is they have a so-so product and very so-so management who don't have a clue (Let's suppose). They waste shareholder money and time trying to do deals and look busy - but in reality their potential customers realise what a shower they are and look for an alternative. Lo and Behold another company comes along with a marginally better product (or not) but with Management that is making all the right noises and insists on committment....therefore the Supermarket Boss understands his options: Go with this new outfit (and it's looking good)...or wait for SEO to come round (again) with some other proposal that's not thought through...AND....
-Now, which would you go with?
Well, let's say: SEO sp tells it like it is ....=a so-so product and ever so Management....what other explanation can there be?
As to "wait until the...(insert any date)..."
Yep, I'm waiting, but why should this be the breakthrough that we've been expecting?....unless of course the whole board's been stricken by food alergy and we get a fresh Start.
In summary, poor management will always have something "about to happen" but will only achieve alerting their competition to potential business; thereby losing the "first-mover" advantage. Does anyone remember when the starch product was first released? Or the CD packing? which is so old consumers have moved not on to DVD, but Blue-Ray DVD...Arrgh...it gets worse before it gets better.
(PS this stock was 28p not that long ago, on hope)....

well said hangon!
I believe there will correction: not be a major revelation come the annual results, just most probably an indication of another step or two in the right direction....hopefully.

Madpad don't get your hopes up about 2 MMFs up and running, if SEO had even agreed a deal and started to build we would have heard about it as it is just about the most share price sensitive piece of info. they could release at present. No news (RNS) omn MMFs to me means that they are still trying to negotiate with either new parties or renetiotiate with those parties that signed letters of intent way back in September. There is a 3rd option of course but one that doesn't bear thinking about. I also think given the news blackout of the last 5 months when something does come it is going to have to be good or they are in big trouble. ON RESULTS DAY I ALSO WANT TO SEE SOME CLARIFICATION OF WHAT BIOTECH ARE PLANNING TO MANUFACTURE AND SELL IN 2007.
Cheers

Dawall,shouldn't no news mean "progressing as prospectus"?Hopefully some light will be shed on the situation on 21st.

Patisear,
Read Stashintheattics post, it does give a bit more but still not much.
I appreciate re confidentiality at these do's but would liked to have more evidence of a good sales force/promotional teams efforts.

Sounds to me that the Easyfair stand was a bit of a disappointment to some; have to say that it does not put me off at this stage. There is a possibility that as ASDA no longer have exclusivity as far as Greenseal is concerned, this has merely been extended to a few other companies, so that for the moment there would be no need to spend time and money advertising the product - that would come through proof of product after it is in full swing. If this is the case then SEO were right to concentrate on Frog products, sales of which look set to leap (sorry!). My confidence is growing daily due to the lack of large scale selling by the institutions involved with SEO; it is now far too late for discreet selling by them and they surely would not risk losing a not insignificant amount of cash at this late stage..................would they?

Mad Pad,
I believe Wrap 100 is a starch based alternative to waxed paper, not a clear film.

Lets face it, if they give a jot about shows around the UK for "Dev's" corner shops then trouble is even closer than I ever thought. Who gives a flying f&*k about these shows. Its about real deals with big companies that count. Oh well, back to Dev? Away for a month's skiing in the USA Oblo, catch u later!

Enjoy your skiing - but keep an eye on the news issued on the 21st March!!
Can't you see what is developing?
They do not need to let us know of everything that is actually happening - would you?

Hi Q -
enjoy the skiing. Apologies to others for going OT, but not much (good)to say about SEO at the moment so I'll keep off that subject so as not to harm the sensitiviies of some here!.
I got back from Zermatt yesterday - back out there next week. Excellent conditions, good off-piste. Prince William (and friends) was there all week on his hols. Decent skier. Not as good as us though, Q!

Garbyle,sorry meant to say Starpol 3000,believe this can be made into a clear film,unlike 2000 which is opaque.

Talking to the guy who has Chinese connections today, and now I understand (though do not neccesarily believe) the link.
The Chinese community buying into SEO are the owners and associates of a Chinese supermarket who are saying that the providers of Chinese goods are ordering the purchase of them wrapped in SEO product because they see it as an environmentally friendly approach to shipping!!
They consider the packaging worthwhile to minimise pollution if and when cargo is lost during sea transportation, as plastic would kill marine life and Starpol would not.
The logic is fatally flawed for obvious reasons, but if there is an order, why should I care??
Secondly, the debate over the 24th being a Saturday was that a press launch was planned for then. I do not particularly believe that either, but who knows.

Blimey Alan, you dont half come out with them. First the imaginary friend and now the Chinamen! China is hardly known for being very concerned about the environment.
