Noticed that this share looks like it has turned a corner and is still less than 0.5p to buy.
Should I wait for a slip back before buying in though?
Buy now or wait, decisions decisions..........Oh well, we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Though somone else is holding around 120 million shares because according to Paro's records there are just around 101 million shares in free float. That figure does include the millions that we hold between ourselves.
Number of shares not in public hands 101,703,617 *
But the 101 million shares in free float also includes * Includes 30,102,716 shares held by Carey Pensions and Benefits Limited as Trustee of the ParOS Employee Benefit Trust.

So just a free float of around 70 million shares (less if include holdings of private investors) is amazing....11 million traded on Friday. A big short squeeze on stock could bring rises beyond expectations IMO especially with the presence of our large buyer who's even snapping up 3 million shares at 0.50 pence.

Important milestone on Monday when the price crosses the 200 day moving average at 0.50 pence. It would be for the first time this year and potentially mark the end of the downtrend fom 2.50 pence at the beginning of the year.

Next week: Alot of support now built at 0.35p + additionally with the 50 day moving average there as well. A few buys came in on Friday and IMO should see the start of the next wave of rises soon. Couldn't break through the 200 day MA on Monday when the price got to 0.50p and that is now at 0.47p...the next major milestone to break. Very significant it will be once the price goes past that level.

I have had a reply from Mr McHugh. Seems the delay was caused by travel and his email considering mine as spam. Some interesting points for any investors on this BB.
Dear Mr xxxxxxxxxxx
Firstly please let me apologise for not replying sooner to your e-mail. I am
afraid my over-zealous spam filter pushed your e-mail out on 16th November.
I have been in Athens from 19th November and only back in the office today
22nd November. I checked the spam filter today and found your e-mail.
I am very pleased at your continued confidence in ParOS. We are all working
very hard to make the business a success. It has just two years since
Imperial Innovations first asked me to help ParOS. Since then we have built
a real company, got funding through the reverse into Oak Prospects, joined
the AIM, got a European Patent, opened a Greek subsidiary, won our first
commercial contracts, cut the day to day spending to the bone, focused
strategically on the new energy markets and reorganized the team to give
greater commercial impact. I have only one disappointment which is just how
long it is taking us to achieve a commercially profitable revenue stream.
I was a surprised initially when Imperial Innovations first sold some of
their holding after the news was released that we had secured the European
Patent at the end of October. I did not know in advance that they were
planning to do this. I have of course spoken to the senior team at Imperial
Innovations and now know;
- they did not let me know of the sale in advance as they do not want to be
considered an 'insider' i.e. they want to able to trade freely in our
shares;
- they were approached by a market maker to see if they wanted to sell. It
was not their initiative;
- when we listed on AIM, Imperial Innovations had a carve out, as part of
the Concert Party, to sell their shares after one year without reference to
our Nomad. This is because they consider that their work is done and ParOS
as a spun out company is now part of their investment portfolio;
- Imperial Innovations is about investing in early stage technology at
Imperial College and they continue to do this. Selling some ParOS shares
enables them to continue this early stage work. From our perspective they
really have don't have anything more to offer ParOS;
- We still have in place an important Pipeline Agreement with Imperial
College which gives ParOS preferential access to relevant technology
developed in the College. This is what is important to ParOS. (In fact many
of the shares that Imperial Innovations hold were given to them in exchange
for this Pipeline Agreement).
- As far as I know Imperial Innovations may continue to sell their holdings
(though never down to 0%) when approached by Market Makers at a good price
for them. They have not lost any confidence in ParOS it is just that they
acquired their shares largely in exchange for services and the Pipeline
Agreement so they can sell today at a profit;
You ask about other organisations taking a significant hold in ParOS. This
is a very difficult question for me to answer as if I let you know anything
before there is a market announcement to all shareholders it would make you
an 'insider' and both of us liable to prosecution should you make use of the
information. However, the Patent enables ParOS to pursue our intellectual
property rights with larger organisations and we expect that this will
result in ever closer ties with the users of our technology.
The CONNECT project is progressing well. We have built a prototype batch
reaction pMPC controller using PSE models. One of our engineers is in
Thessaloniki having detailed discussions with the Greek brick factory
partner about building a controller for their manufacturing process.
As for the Patents we applied in 2002 for European, US and Japanese patents.
The European Patent has now been granted and we are getting it confirmed as
national patents in UK, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. The
US Patent has been through its first stage investigations and we are now
ironing out details expecting it to move on to Grant. Similarly, we have
heard from Japan that they would like clarification of terms before
proceeding on to Grant.
I hope this information helps, all of it is in the public domain of course
if you know where to look. I hope this e-mail provides a useful summary.
Please do continue to keep in touch as it is very encouraging for us to have
such an interested and informed shareholder.
Yours sincerely
Patrick McHugh

Plenty of stock available online and with a institution selling up and still
holding 26 million there's no rush to get involved here especially with
such a large spread.
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - ParOS PLC said Imperial Innovations Group PLC
holds 26.78 mln shares or about 5.66 pct of ParOS's issued share capital after
it sold 4.5 mln shares in the company, equivalent to 0.95 pct.

The market makers IMO are trying to very best to keep a lid on the price with the spread as wide as possible. Few buys have still been drifting in over the last few trading days and rightly no one selling at these cheap prices. It won't be long now before we start our next wave of rises. With recent encouraging statements from the company, I'm hoping that they'll announce one of those significant deals. The large buyer was bullish enought to pay top whack - 0.50 pence for 3 million shares recently and the price will breakout over that level as soon as the rises start. We've already seen when the price does rise, how quickly it does and how the MMs cap at limit on the online buy limits straight-away and then charging a premium for anyone looking to buy a decent quantity. The story here is only beginning and if the company can get significant royalties through the commercialisation of the technology then in 12 months time the price may well be back up to the 3-4 pence levels seen at the beginning of last year. Not a quick buck/or day trading stock because of the spread and sometimes the behaviour of the market makers.

Some good buying today and IMO if there wasn't a large buyer around then they wouldn't be a big fat spread and the widest possible at close. Showed strong support at 0.35p again today with the price recovering to finish unchange. IMO not long now for the next set of good rises.

I'd be wary about buying this, firstly this Active character is a pump and dumper
who has a bad position in Paro and wants out into any strength, he is pushing
this stock on 3 different bulletin boards.
Secondly the spread is horrendous and thirdly there is a huge seller in the shape
of Imperial who after todays sale of 2.5 mil still hold over 24 million shares.

Chart + Indicators:


Neutral -Medium term, Nov 26, 2007 Analysis Explanation
Has broken through the ceiling of a falling trend channel. This indicates a slower falling rate initially, or the start of a more horizontal development. Has received a positive signal from the moving average indicator, thus signaling a continued rise. The poor liquidity of the stock (traded 95% of the days, mean 1.38 mill per day) may weaken the analysis. The stock is overall assessed as technically neutral for the medium long term.

Level 2 closed at 2 v 1 with the other two market makers on the 0.40p offer. No large sell for Imperial came through and no large buy. One of the MMs collected Imperials 2.50million sell yesterday at 0.32p so may see that filled for the large buyer at 0.35p. I'll be looking to top-up with another 150,000 shares in the morning to take my holding to 1.45million shares. Price at an all time low again with excellent news out recently and much more good news to come in my opinion.

Anyone who buys into this company is nuts in my opinion. Miniscule interim turnover turnover of 80k and costs approaching 500k, says it all really. Active reminds me of a previous poster renown for pumps and dumps specialising in micro stocks. He/she attracted quite a following, but they were always left holding the baby once mission was accomplished.

Background information on the 'Guaranteed Performance of Dynamic Behaviour of
Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ("MUAV")' research programme.
Recent technological developments have generated a broad interest in the use of
MUAV. Their underlying potential is recognized by several authorities including
the United States government which is investing over $10 billion between 2002 to
2010 in MUAV. Civil applications involve grid searching for mining, oil
exploration, surveillance and reconnaissance for traffic control, rescue
missions, fire extinction, identifications of hazardous materials, oceanographic
and geological surveys, marine and border inspection. Military applications
entail similar tasks such as target recognition, forward-deployed offensive
missions, information gathering and communications. The main thrust of the '
Guaranteed Performance of Dynamic Behaviour of MAUV' research programme is to
develop a rigorous, analytical framework that determines in detail the number
and characteristics of the vehicles, the interactions between the vehicles and
their embedded guidance and control schemes. This framework will be used to
predict MUAV behaviour in two multi-task mission scenarios and to assess the
resulting performance through simulations and ground vehicle experiments.
Background information on ParOS
ParOS advanced optimisation and control solution technologies have been
developed by a team, led by Chief Technology Officer, Professor Pistikopoulos,
at Imperial College's Centre for Process Systems Engineering, over the last 15
years. In October 2007 ParOS was formally granted European Patent EP1399784 for
the use of its parametric Model Predictive Control ("MPC") technology. ParOS
became a spin-out company from Imperial College in January 2002 providing energy
saving advanced optimisation and control solutions to industry. In March 2006
ParOS plc was admitted to trading on AIM with a view to commercialising its
existing technologies and to utilising its intellectual property pipeline
agreement with Imperial College.
Advanced control, referred to as MPC, is achieved by repeatedly solving
optimisation problems online to determine the best control action, given the
sensor measurements at any given time and a desired target value for these
measurements. Until now providing hardware and software applications to support
MPC has been expensive and time consuming. ParOS technology overcomes these
obstacles using parametric optimisation techniques to determine MPC solutions
offline that run online with low cost process controllers. ParOS' solutions are
currently installed in the Automotive (Active Valve Train and Van Refrigeration)
and the Process (Air Separation Systems) Industries.
