The main activity of Biofuels is the large scale production and exploitation of biodiesel and glycerine following the construction and commissioning of the initial plant.

Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and, as an environmentally friendly product, can make a significant contribution towards reducing green house gases and meeting Kyoto targets.

Could heve gone in at 80p last Friday.

you could..
I made a big mistake when I sold my over 3600 QXL shares at 315 and accepted a very big loss over a year ago... If I remember correctly, It was my biggest holding at the time.... I could be rich now.

ahoj ,let me know how many you buy ? good luck.

ahoj
Just to rub salt into the wound you would have had 327600 worth of QXL shares if you had held.

Driver ,just to rub salt in to the wound ,if you'd been born with the name Bill Gates you would have 40 billion ,, you would'nt half be a geek though !!

and who says any bid will be over a 1 ? They'd be mad with all that debt overhanging the balance sheet, but there's nowt as queer as folk :)

I wouldn't be buying right now, but I don't mind if people keep pushing up the price, so I can cut and run!

jimmy
How do you know Im not Bill Gates.

Wow, this a laugh a minutes.... I am just sitting tight.... I was in at 90p so I am still in profit....

Just pleased I didnt lose it all...

Took the cowardly approach! Out at 110p with a considerable loss but just pleased to get some capital back! Good luck to those still in ..

An observation (not a holder). It seems that any bidder would basically have only to keep Barclays happy and if they were to get their debt back on this you would hear the whoops of joy from Canary Wharf on the BFC site.Would not therefore expect any bidder to offer more than a few crumbs for unsecured creditors and rather less for ordinary shareholders. We shall see.

Evil's latest

I see that Biofuels (BFC) is back from suspension and that Barclays has promised to lend it stacks of cash albeit at LIBOR + 7% until its plant is finally built. This is really very expensive debt -it would be almost as expensive to borrow on a credit card. The company will be drowning in borrowings and at some stage it really must issue fresh equity. I see that the shares are being driven higher in relief which is sheer lunacy. I see that an early stage bid approach has been made. I doubt that it will come to much as an acquirer is buying a pig in a poke (until Biofuels can deliver at an operational level) and a piggy with an awful lot of borrowings to boot. I had marked down Biofuels as a sponsor of my Christmas cellar. But I stay short and suspect that this will be the sponsor of the Easter excess.

So DOO was thinking of a merger , i don't think they would have the cash to buy BFC .

Jimmy, apart from the semi-flippant answer that D1 Oils only needs to find 1 in total (isn't that the usual price one pays for a company up to its gunnels in debt?), isn't it more likely that there would be a huge equity restructuring diluting existing shareholders out of sight? How else will Barclays come out of this with its interests secure as far as it can?

Bones i can't believe the buys going through (some must be buys) ,this has to be going down over the next couple of months ,people over on the other bb are coming up with all these crazy take out prices ,,180 - 200p ,,i just can't see it,, and i'm sure i'm not missing the point..

Jimmy, whatever happens, I'm happy watching from the stands!

It's not doing much good for D1 's share price. As much as i'd love a take out at 180-200, I also can't see it. I think I might sell the lot soon, I can't take the stress of this share any longer!
