I shall write up the letter Sunday evening (23rd) and post Monday AM. I won't be about Fri or Sat but i promise to read up and include all genuine contributions from here and FYB.

What do you want to know..................?

Are you producing Starpol for NatureWorks?
When do you expect FDA approval for Starpol usage with meat products?
When is the auction for the cigarette filter technology going to take place?
In a previous RNS you said new products would be revealed at the recent conference in the US. What were they?

Bema, Would you please ask them for an estimated launch date for the Mondini RF machine; IB reckoned in a conversation I had with him at the last co. meeting that this was going to be an early and easy route to good revenue.
Also please ask how many RF conversions they have done under the Asda exclusivity contract and is there a projected target take-up rate by which they are measuring progress and are they achieving it?

Will they be attempting to settle with Bioprogress before the court date in January, it looks a lost cause which shouldn't be pursued in the eye's of most shareholders.

LOL, knew that question was coming from you bela. ;o)

Don't like to dissapoint! :-)

very good idea , bema. i have three questions.
could you ask if they are concerned by boardroom leaks? the manipulation of the sp the day before an rns seems to suggest that mms are being tipped off by someone.
also, could you ask why nothing further has been mentioned about the reckitt beckinser, reiser and grampian trials? ( just seeking a satisfactory explanantion as none yet has been given by seo)
finally, (very simialr to niels' question), do seo intend to manufacture starpol or do they intend to license the ip?
thanks

I am also in touch with PM1, he has suggested:

I guess we should be told what new Starpol products were announced at the show earlier this week, as we haven't had any press release or RNS yet.

Is one of the new Starpol 2000 products an Oxygen Scavenger ?

Do they think Wal-Mart are waiting for FDA approval on Starpol 2000, so that they can change to a Greenseal and Starpol 2000 combination, and bin the Polythene ?

Are all the US big retailers using Polythene, or are there any in a position to use Greenseal without Starpol 2000, like ASDA are ?

A report from Lemming Investor due at the weekend, will hopefully answer some of your questions.

There have been six reports on SEO in 2005. If you ask nicely, you get a free report on SEO. Heres one for going on with. SEO

Questions so far, i've had to change the wording of some so i hope everyone is happy that their questions are still there and intact.

Again i'm not sure that they will be able to answer all questions but theres no harm in asking. I expect they will be happy to clarify the Natureworks questions and will be suprised at the trouble the reports have given us!

1) What was Stanelcos role at the recent conference at Philadelphia? Did they speak at all, demonstrate or were they just in the crowd?

2) In a previous RNS you said new Starpol products would be revealed at the recent conference in the US. What were they?

3) Is one of the new Starpol 2000 products an Oxygen Scavenger?

4) Is Wal-Mart waiting for FDA approval on Starpol 2000, so that they can change to a Greenseal and Starpol 2000 combination, and bin the Polythene?

5) Are all the US big retailers using Polythene, or are there any in a position to use Greenseal without Starpol 2000, like ASDA are?

6) Do you have any idea of the expected timeframe for FDA approval for Starpol usage with meat products?

7) What does the recently announced tie-up with Natureworks actually mean? Unfortunately the reports on this have been translated in many ways so there are several versions floating around the net.

8) Are we just buying material from Natureworks for use in Starpol that we sell to other companies or are we supplying Natureworks in any way?

9) Does SEO/Biotec intend to manufacture all Starpol or do they intend to license the IP?

10) Are Stanelco producing Starpol for Natureworks?

11) As shareholders in Stanelco, are the directors concerned by the negative market vibes regarding the company recently? and if so/not then why?

12) Is there any concern over potential leaks of information? The regular manipulation of the share price the day before an RNS seems to suggest that someone in the market has advance knowledge.

13) The company is perceived by many on the outside to be 'jack of all trades, but master of none' as from the outside many feel we are spreading ourselves too thin on numerous products. Why is it that Greenseal appears to be on the backburner yet we have engineers and the like in the USA waiting for deals?

14) Are the Stanelco actively seeking to end the BPRG court case fiasco?

15) Why has nothing further has been mentioned about the Reckitt Beckinser, Reiser and Grampian trials? This gives the impression that these issues have now been quietly dropped.

16) Are you able to give a potential launch date for the Mondini RF machine?

17) How many RF conversions have Stanelco done so far under the ASDA exclusivity contract? Is there a projected target take-up rate by which Stanelco are measuring progress and are Stanelco achieving it?

18) How long do you expect to have to keep the 'auction' open for the sale of the cigarette filter patents?

bema, very well done, great stuff. an excellent set of questions and hopefully seo will answer as many as they possibly can. good luck and please keep us informed of the answers you receive.

Thanks from me too, bema.
Like most people in this company, I want to know what has happened to the stuff that was announced, looked good and then wasn't mentioned again. Those questions should answer that.
Alan

Well done bema a good set of questions.

Cool, well if the questions dry up i can send it today, but i wanted to give everyone a chance to contribute so i'll give it a while.

Yeah top stuff Bema-and cheers for peoples input.

Cant think of anything to add to that list-very complete :-)

An addition to q13. How many advanced and premier engineers were actually trained and how many of these are actively involved in client work?

Eric

bema, well done. If you have the time kindly rephrase q18 to my original wording: "When is the auction for the cigarette filter technology going to take place? "

I'm 99.99% sure I read an Evolution (or other paper) stating that the technology is not fully developed/approved and that SEO intends to auction the IP now to the highest bidder that believe it will work.

Again, thanks for your efforts,

Bema,
Could you ask them to clarify the SP Metal Order. What are the 10,000 tons of Starpol for, film or semi-rigids, and who is the is the end user or supplier.

Thanks

Bema - the guys are not back in the office until Monday - so dont break a leg trying to get it out today.

Thanks for coordinating this - well done

Baza

No problem Nielsjensen, just had several questions on the auction and was trying to cover it with one. will correct.

Ok the latest version. I have added your question rather than change it Nielsjensen. I don't think we need both but i want to keep every contributor happy.

QC has also given a new question that i think is very important. Number 11.

I'm going to send late Sunday. Please feel free to point out typos or correct me if you feel i have altered your question. I have no problem with a little editing to keep all contributors happy, this is after all "your letter" :o)

10) Are Stanelco producing Starpol for Natureworks?

11) There are various statements around regarding Starpol. It is claimed that both Natureworks PLA and Starpol are compostable. In particular I had been lead to believe that Starpol would decompose on my own compost heap within 6-8 weeks. As PLA is the main ingredient in Starpol and has since been shown to only compost in temperatures of 135 deg F or 57 deg C (well above a normal compost heap temperature) can we have clarification on the conditions required for Starpol to decompose.

12) As shareholders in Stanelco, are the directors concerned by the negative market vibes regarding the company recently? and if so/not then why?
