Pursuit Dynamics plc is a UK based research and development company, which was founded in 2000 to develop and commercialise a revolutionary pumping and propulsion technology. Pursuit Dynamics (symbol: PDX) was listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange in May 2001.
PDX 25 Sonic.
The PDX Technology is a steam-based system that has applications in both pumping and marine propulsion. It is cheap to manufacture, extremely robust, contains no moving parts and is virtually impossible to block. Pursuit Dynamics owns 100% of the Intellectual Property Rights that surround the PDX Technology.
Pursuit Dynamics is now working towards the commercialisation of the technology it has developed.

Pursuit are rumoured to be close to closing their first deals, which may be in the food processing industry.

Legins,
Until a deal is signed, you cannot assume it has been sucessful, although we clearly like to believe it has. and nothing in the RNS suggests otherwise!
As a regular football fan, I know from experience that "it ain't over til the fat lady sings"!!!

just bringing the discussion thread back up to the top.
Despite what some doomsters have been intimating, another week passes, (and hopefully nearer the first signed deal), and the prce has held steady.
It would now appear that the contenders for the first signed deal are either in the nuclear waste, brewing, or waste water induestries.

I think it is a little naive to expect a major confectionery manufacturer to trial a unit like the PDX for about 10 weeks and then sign a deal. Correctly, before their trial was complete, they have asked for more time. And they may need much more time yet.
Major capital acquisition and implementation programmes, which have such far reaching implications for manufacturing processes, equipment, and even personnel, cannot be committed to in a matter of weeks, certainly not for the kind of numbers that Pursuit will want for their first major deal. And the larger the company concerned, the longer it takes.
The mere fact that the trialler (whoever it might be, and I do not subscribe to the current unfounded ramp being expressed elsewhere) is not only interested enough to continue beyond the original trial period, AND is prepared to pay a small amount for the privilege, is reasonably encouraging news.
We are now told elsewhere that a deal with BNFL or similar is about to be signed - nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Yes, fine - I will believe it when I see it, but find it deeply sad that such innuendo is felt to be required in the cause of a product which can speak for itself without such nonsense.
The PDX unit has massive potential, and could revolutionise the process industries. What it does not need is the overt and pretty amateurish ramping, and equally amateurish deramping presently being expressed on other BBs.
How nice to find a PDX thread which is reasoned and sensible, with no foul language, and no slanging matches!

Wendy,
I agree completely!
With regard to the first signed deal, I believe nuclear decomissioning was mantioned in vague(ish) terms during our visit, and beyond that people may simply be speculating which industry will end up signing PDX's first deal, based upon their own asumptions, nothing more than that.I
During the visit they obviously discussed the possible capabilities and utilisation of the PDX unit, and these included some areas where the PDX may have a future, so some poeple's comments may well reflect what was heard then.
Sadly, due to the actions of a small group deramping PDX, some may feel it necessary to defend it with ramping style posts as a counter balance. I would prefer it if neither type of post existed, let's just deal with the facts, not stories.

Well said andy, well put, lets just stick to the facts and then enjoy the profits (hopefully).

Well, PDX has once again tested its support level of 100p and bounced back.

Yeah, bright future ahead hopefully, would never sell at 1.00 in for the long
term...

Had me worried for a day or two, there. Need some good news from the trials to spur this one on.

Hoot,
Well the start of the week was duller than expected, and the results anounced yesterday were lacking in excitement, insofar as they didn't confirm any deals, contrary to our hopes and expectations.
The market was clearly disappoined, with a 93p bid price at one time, but PDX has recovered for the moment to reclaim the 100p support level.
In some ways this has shown a level of supoport for PDX, that some suggested was not there, so imagine what will happen when news is announced!

FYI - 4th of March by which time contract will be signed. Hence the reason investors are back in buying, this will be worth millions from a billion market.

PURSUIT DYNAMICS PLC ('PURSUIT' OR 'THE COMPANY')
PURSUIT DYNAMICS SIGNS ADDITIONAL TRIALS & EXCLUSIVITY AGREEMENT WITH
CONFECTIONERY MANUFACTURER
Further to the Company's announcement dated 1 September 2003 and following
completion of initial trials of its innovative PDX Technology in confectionery
and soft drinks applications with a leading confectionery manufacturer, Pursuit
is pleased to announce that it has now entered into an agreement that
incorporates further development trials with the same manufacturer.
The trials are fully funded by the manufacturer and are scheduled to be
completed by the end of 2003. In addition to funding the trials, the
manufacturer will pay Pursuit 15,000 per month to maintain exclusivity for the
trialling of the PDX Technology in confectionery and soft drinks applications
until, at the latest, March 4 2004.
John Heathcote, Chief Executive Officer of Pursuit said: 'This is more good news
for Pursuit. We are successfully marketing our PDX Fluids Handling System
across a broad range of processing industries. We are developing strong
relationships with dominant companies in our targeted sectors with a view to
bringing our technology into commercial use in a structured and timely fashion.'

Legins,
PDX is moving nicely north now, and clearly something seems to be afoot, as volume is rising.
I wonder if the confectionary trial has been a success?
Legins

Andy,
We might have to wait until 4MAR for an RNS but IMHO the trials were a sucess prior to the extension in order for time to negotiate & thrash out contract details. No company ("the manufacturer" has to be CRBY) in their right mind would pay 45K for a 3mnth tempory exclusivity period unless they intend to complete a deal. The contract will be announced.
Countdown to contract 5Wks 6Days.

legins,
Let's hope so, but it isn't in the bag until the ink is dry, and the RNS is issued, IMHO!
I was wondering if we may hear something else first, maybe a smaller deal, like waste water or brewing perhaps?
Legins

Andy,
True, but in my view by paying 45K for the 3month exclusivity period its as good as a letter of intent.
It would be nice if there are some other contracts news sooner rather than later from another industry and waste water or brewing are in mind each of which are $billion markets. Not so small as you might think!
One possibility is that if CBRY are "the manufacturer" who signs the deal, Cadbury-Schweppes, is a large multi-national with a highly ethical & environmental policies. Due to their size, all their factories would have the need of PDX's technology to be used for both their manufacturing and waste/waste-water disposal & recycling processes?
In which case will the expected licence and royalty deal, hence the real reason for the trials extension, cover PDX technology licences in food & confectionery, brewing and waste water industries all in one deal. CBRY have the financial, marketing and sales muscle to do just this.

Legins,
Very true, but I have heard mention of a small(ish) contract with a brewer in the UK being a possibility, so my comment was based on that.
I think a large multi-national confectioner would have more then one use for the technology, though I doubt waste water, as they presumably already dispose of this into the sewer network.

They could use the technology in the treatment works, macerator etc etc, not
a pleasant subject but could be worth lots of money, maybe RWE might be involvoed.....
