Yes bos - and RHPS tipped TPA as a buy last week - LOL - hope that does not happen to SEO - would not wish that kind of fall on anyone.
Just to clarify a few issues that are getting distorted nobody has said Asda will order 200 machines this was a business wire report similar to the one where HW later had to deny he ever said 27,000 odd machines as in the FYB email reply from him and said it was a misquote from a telephone conversation. Stanelco have never officially said 200 and if you note that the original business wire said 100 and was then replaced saying 200 I would take from that that Asda suppliers will convert 100 RF tray lidding machines and 100 Thermoforming machines making a total of only 200 and thats it !!!!
Second the third trial has no bearing on Asda orders if you read the AGM statement Philip Lovegrove says We announced in March that ASDA Stores Ltd (ASDA) would be the first to adopt GREENSEAL in the UK, anticipating several hundred machines to be adapted to use the technology during the first year at the earlier of the completion of three further trials with ASDA suppliers or the signing of the first commercial order . The first of these trials nears completion at Youngs Bluecrest, a leading ASDA supplier.
If you refer to the later RNS 23rd of May they had their first commercial order with Asda Stanelco announces that following extensive trials it has now entered into a formal commercial agreement for its GREENSEAL(TM) technology with a dedicated ASDA supplier, endorsed by ASDA themselves. This first commercial agreement will involve the conversion of a Mondini tray-lidding machine at the chosen supplier. Stanelco cannot reveal the name of the supplier for commercially sensitive reasons.
Therefore Lovegroves earlier of statement is concluded as the first order came and no need for the trials to be complete from the 23rd of May the 1 year commercial agreement has been in place resulting in so far 2 orders with Hitchens appearing very concerned placing just 1 order and conditionally 3 more with what looks like an escape route to not order.
The agreement with Asda covers RF sealing and Thermoforming (so the recent Thermoformer news is not new) it was in the original statement by Stanelco on the 24th March RNS and Sealing AND Thermoforming forms part of the anticipated (which means nothing as a forward looking word) several hundred machines Stanelco PLC, the RF (radio frequency) applications group, is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding contract with ASDA for a 12-month exclusive agreement for the application of the Group's GREENSEAL tray lidding and thermoforming RF technology in the UK and Ireland. ASDA anticipate that several hundred machines will be adapted to utilise the technology
The whole ramp on SE0 has come from one very meaningless and forward looking statement in the RNS on the 24th March It is expected that, according to plan, this agreement will generate a revenue stream for Stanelco significantly in excess of 5m in the first year alone. It was expected according to the plan that orders would flow in April - hundreds would be there by June and several hundred in the first year which started from the first commercial order on the 23rd May however as you see all that was said was anticipated according to the plan these mean nothing and are forward looking words and they are not accountable if nothing happens and its not achieved.
There is now 11 more months of that 1 year agreement left and order level is so far 2.
Do not forget in that 24th March RNS that it said quite clearly The agreement follows successful trials at a number of different ASDA suppliers and will mean that the suppliers involved in the programme will, where practical , convert from traditional heat-sealing to Stanelco's revolutionary RF technology.
where practical means there is no binding commitment and if the suppliers can find a reason not to convert they do not convert and save their money and not pass it on to SE0.
IMHO you will see only a maximum 200 Asda supplier orders and that will be a combination of RF tray lidding conversions and Thermoformers however it may be well below that 200 figure and nobody has officially said any sales figures its only what people ramp and wish it to be.
The company as I keep saying are very clever and not committing to anything people are getting sucked into the ramping of this and believe figures which have not in reality ever been committed to.
The SE0 share price presently equates to over 1000 confirmed orders of high margin RF sealing conversions with high margin 5 year licenses. IMVHO it will take SE0 over 5 years to ever achieve this if they ever achieve it. There may also be a severe erosion of those margins in sales as can be seen by the present hiding of contract values or license fee and terms which may mean that 5000 sales are required to support the price at 22.5p.
That the price is 2005 is equivalent to the potential price in 2010 or beyond is quite amazing and shows how well its been ramped and hyped IMO.

Another yawn day is no doubt spot on. Next week I think will be more positive.

this week is a continuation of last week, well the back-end of it, anything I touch falls apart (doesn`t work on `er indoors tho`), lets hope that the results don`t confirm my "weekis horribilis".
I mean how can you long oil and see it fall, short the falling FTSE - and look!!!,
and I have to put the bloody bins out today, and finish cutting that feckin` hedge, and if that dog barks -its dead.

Bos - I did say TPA looked good due to the excellent results they last posted - however I did say be careful as it could all turn bad - and it has.
You are correct I did post that earlier article before - but reposted as I wanted to the FL statement (at the end) in context with it - sorry.

Well - that limits their options a bit - today, Wed or Thur?
Good to get them out of the way. Wonder what accompanying current/prospective good news there will be? Since they've managed to set the date, maybe they have some to impart.

i agree sd. we all know the results will not be great , so wouldn't it be just like seo to include a nugget to accompany them.
