Garb, I guessed it.


You have a third eye.

Kim, spot on....the kiss of death for any share!

Fred1, my third eye had nothing to do with it!

We're doomed! ;o)

garyble,

You really are the kiss of death.

Now for Gods sake, short 'em and give the rest of us a chance...............

Alan

It's ok garyble theres two of us that need our butts kicked, I got the weeks muddled in my head and thought results day was last thurs and sold the day before with a minor profit. could have doubled if left till yesterday. Thats life!!

After this mornings fall, I've been checking on garyble's CV;

Recently he has held the following posts;
Head of lending risk @ Northern Rock
Investment strategist @ HBOS
Advisor to the Treasury - Iceland
Todd Cartys head trainer @ Dancing on Ice
Senior growth specialist @ Woolworths
Founder of the charity, the honest MP's trust.

Now the bugger has bought SEO shares............;-)

Thanks guys, I fully expect this to continue its new trend all the way back to the 0.3p range.

Unfortunately I added to the 1.5m shares I've held for the past 4 years and swore never to dabble again with this, but to hopefully recoup most of the >100k I've lost on this bugger.

If nothing else, it's served to reduce my breakeven price a little.

World famous environmentalist David Bellamy explained the benefits of biodiversity and habitat creation to children at two Bedfordshire schools, and planted trees donated by Marchant Manufacturing and Stanelco BioPlastics, manufacturers of compostable bags.

Tree Appeal is managing the environmental initiative, set up by Marchant Manufacturing, which is working to make the compostable bags used by Central Bedfordshire Councils Waste Team, even greener.

By donating trees, Marchant Manufacturing and Stanelco BioPlastics are offsetting their environmental footprint, helping their customer contribute to the balance of the natural world, and educating local children about their environment, claim the firms.

Children at both Russell Lower School in Ampthill and Southlands Lower School in Biggleswade produced imaginative drawings about the event showing their understanding of recycling food waste and the importance of trees.

Re-brand of biodegradable products - now to be called political integrity in bag form and bank balance in sheet form.
Expect to be profitable , just not sure when.

Chairmans Statement;

"I am pleased to announce these results to the markets".

This isn't a highlight -It's the whole statement.

You missed one Alan.

The seal on our Greenseal tray has turned green so we may have to through it in the bin, er, we mean compost it; we think.

Alan,

Can you please get back to being serious.

I have a cunning plan.

I have suggested to Gordon Brown via e-mail that they approach Stanelco to produce biodegradable bank notes. The idea being that so many can be printed and issued making us all feel so rich we go out and spend like never before. After 6 weeks all these bank notes just disappear into thin air (where the government gets them from in the first place). This would mean that fiscal stimulus has worked as we all have items paid for but all proceeds from sales that have been placed with the financial institutions has disappeared (again) leaving no surplus money in circulation therefor leaving no danger of a return to boom and bust or inflation.
They could bundle the remains up and sell them on as financial investments.
Obviously all the bank would be responsible for the monetary loss and have to be bailed out by the government with loan notes and the like. This would mean yet another round of fiscal stimulus funded by even more Stanelco notes, which would be issued and, 'well you get the drift'.
A bit like a Ponzi scheme, which Madoff proved you could get away with for years.
Can't see any flaws in my plan but there must be a few.
Perhaps GB and AD will see the benefits of my suggestion and implement it immediately.
If implemented we could all spend our cash bonus on more Stanelco shares which would obviously easily reach that magic figure of 35.
And no I did not discuss the idea with Trev, as he would only take the credit.
I await my Knighthood.

Its been tried, greek.

I refer you to the last 20 years.

Are you a historian by any chance???

So your saying it will work. After all our illustrious rulers never learn from the past.

Results.

Looks like they are on the way up. Sales up in all areas. Cash flow OK.

Growth in total revenues - increased by 6.7m (84%)
Growth in bioplastic revenues from direct sales by Stanelco plc - increased by 1.4m (385%)
Growth in total gross margin - increased by 1.0m (52%)
Reduction in loss from operations before exceptional items - reduced by 0.3m (10%)

The looking forward (prospects) that should always be taken as just that, look excellent.
Number of sets of customer trials in BioPlastics 48
Percentage of trials leading to production orders 60% (very good figures). Makes a massive change from the old days when most if not all trials came to nothing.

New product launches in RF 5

So not in profit yet but if this progress continues at this pace profit is not far away. Looking at the rate of trials success leading to orders, momentum looks to be gathering pace at a great rate.

Whilst excepting that the company started it's climb back from very low depths, there are not many companies out there that can show such growth figures to the previous year, especially in this financial climate.

Still a long way to go.
Never thought I would say this, but well done SEO.

Looking at the SP the markets believe my RNS a bit more....................

Hi Alan,

Yes true. I feel that SEO have for some time been a quick dash in and out for most, hoping for a quick profit. The results will be very disappointing for many, re not showing the figures (profit) most were expecting. After all the disappointments over the last few years I am very positive for once.
I wonder how many shares have been shorted over the last week!

OK lads and lasses, you'll be happy to know that I've just sold 40% of my holding at ~80% loss.

The way is now clear for all to top up as the SP will now rise dramatically.

Greater love hath no man...............

Greek,

I am quite pleased with the results.
Everything going in the right way and a mature non-sensationalist reflection.
Very unlike the SEO of old, and promising for the interims.
Alan

Reuters) - Stanelco, British maker of biodegradable packaging technology, posted a narrower loss for 2008 helped by a good performance at its Biotec unit and higher sales of bioplastics made directly by the company.

The company said it planned to broaden its product portfolio and widen areas of business.

For the year ended December 31, the company posted a pretax loss of 0.5 million pounds ($0.7 million), compared with 5.0 million pounds a year ago.

Revenue surged 84 percent to 14.8 million pounds.

The company said the Biotec unit, a joint venture with SPhere SA, that makes biodegradable products from its base in Germany, added 5 million pounds to its revenue for the year.

Sales of bioplastics increased by 1.4 million pounds, up 385 percent from the previous year, Stanelco said.

"Whilst pushing forward with organic growth, the board continues to consider acquisition opportunities which would allow it to take significant steps forward in scale," Chairman John Standen said in a statement.

Stanelco shares closed at 0.59 pence on Wednesday.

The results talk about blue chip companies being involved in the trials.

If it were the old SEO, this would have been trumpeted, each one named and an SP of about forty quid.

Wish these results would name just one, so we got a different SP reaction. If only for garybles sake.
