Perhaps it's worth SEO casting its eye over the value of BPRG's IP assets and making an all share offer for them.
There is obvious synergy both in the operational interest and cancelling in a novel way the court case, so all those provisions can be written back to P&L on both sides.
It would give BPRG shareholders fair value based on good future prospects.
It keeps BPRG in business, although inevitably some overhead cost savings and redundancies (especially failed top management) would be required.
Their bio-degradable medicine capsule seems a good product if it can be properly marketed and rolled out (SEO would be good at this I am sure).
Then there are all the other IP goodies in BPRG's bag.
It would be a grand gesture with a keen eye to future expansion of profits for SEO.
The potential dilution on SEO's SP should not be too great to bear.
Anyone know Ian Balkin well enough to propose this to him?

stockdog, do not think you should stable a good stud (seo) and a donkey (bprg)together. The result will only be a "also run"

what are the chances that we are both going to be the same price at the end of the day? i dont mean to sound gloaty and i do have genuine sympathy for SOME bprg holders but it wasnt that long ago this bb was filled with vile bastards wanting to crucify the seo board and put seo out of business. truth be told, this could happen to any blue sky company. even seo.

I think there is a salutory lesson to be learnt from BPRG - it certainly made me stop and reasses my risk and exposure to SEO.
I am still comfortable with my risk and holding - but it did make me stop, think and reappraise my position.

I also think it is the end of the CC. Any new mgmnt wouldstop wasting further money on it and reach a painless mutual-use and cheap agreement with SEO. I said months ago that SEO and BPRG sp was converging!
Shows what can happen though - they just had their results a month ago - and then they come out with this. This stockmarket place can be VERY treacherous - Lord help us!!!

Adie H. Where are you?????????
Are you still in SEO? I know you were hedging your bets on both BPRG and SEO and bought at 1.30. I hope you sold BPRG weeks ago and stuck the funds in SEO.

Bos, share your views on thos BPRG holders who took a swipe at us when we were 4p and they were 130p haeding to 300p!! Oh dear!! But at the end of the day there are many decent BPRG holders who are in deep shit right now and it might have been us in that boat but for the excellent job done by Balchin and the team. I've offered them some advice on how to retrieve their losses.
I think we will be more likely to see 300p within 3 years than BPRG who going cheap might be worth a few bob on a possible takeover????

Hi Bos - I wish it was me doing the buying. I also think that there may be an opportunity over next day or 2 when price will consolidate and maybe even drop a little, to top up again -

Biggest mistake i ever made was not get into this one........I had the buy nearly executed at 10p but ended up buting more stream group!!!
I'm sitting on a heavy loss on a number of my stocks cause i miss judged a couple of momentum driven shares but im going to close most of my loss making portfolio and pile into this when the dust settles a bit

I imagine there will be a few BPRG holders having a dabble here. Good for you blackbelt, reckon it won't be long before you start making a profit again, the only direction we're headed here is up up up!!

I stumbled upon this excellent forum about 2 months ago and having bought seo at 13p at 8am i got to work and sold one hour later for a 900.00 profit.At the time i was elated but on reflection it was the worst trading decision i ever made.I have bought back in various times at the 20p level and im`e not making the same mistake twice.These babies are going away for a long time because fortunately i don`t have to touch the money,but anyone not setting a stop loss on such a fast moving share must be more daring than i am.
It`s also very refreshing to find everyone getting on well on this forum as i understand things can get a bit heated on these boards.Keep up the good work you guys [and girls] it makes compulsive reading.

Ive taken the plunge into SEO, dumped pixology at a heavy loss but think it would take too long to recoup.....this provides a long term potential as well as the opportunity to salvage a bit of capital!
I also feel shares will reiterate a buy on this one tommorrow in their plays which should help generate a bit more upside....
