Possibly another piece of the jigsaw, at least it shows SPheres capacity to obtain the potato starch:-

'AdventAgri will be able to work in synergy with Biotec, an entity of the SPhere group, to develop agro-materials. Biotec has 200 patents and ten years of research in the development of the bioplastiques ones. It is also planned to create an application laboratory and innovations to Haussimont and to integrate projects in the pole of Inudustries competitiveness and Agro-resources of the areas Champagne-Ardenne and Picardy. Lastly, a unit of granules the bioplastiques ones should leave ground in the three years with to key 50 to 80 employment. '

Fred, sadly yes, it stands for shares not , but hey, who knows, by the year 3000 when the next Starpol is produced it could well stand for . Mind you, by 3000 will probably be equivalent to today's 1p.

From the recent trading statement:-

'Biotec, which is owned 50 per cent. by Stanelco and 50 per cent. by SPhere S.A.,
sells virtually all of its biopolymer output to its shareholders. In the current
financial year to 31 December 2007, it was envisaged that each shareholder would
take approximately half of the production capacity of biopolymer and Biotec has
prepared itself for that eventuality. However, the Stanelco sales and product
pipeline is currently nascent and is expected to be developed over the course of
the next 18 months or so. '

Could it be that SEO have seen more potential in using it's 50% production capacity with Sphere to produce bioplastics for the French bag market than using it in the U.S.as was previously proposed?

I thought SEO were only capable of imagining potential Oblo, not actually seeing it! We can live in hope though.

Well, in this case it may have been pointed out to them by Sphere, Kim!

Sphere seem well-placed to make this happen (using Biotec) - SEO would benefit without too much involvement, or opportunity, hopefully, to 'male it up'.

edited in view of Greeks post below - now I'm off to the Male It Up Inn for a pint or two!

I think we all believe the ace in the pack is Biotec,just wondering how Stanelco are going to manage to screw this one up as well,if they allready havn't!Tempted to buy a few mill.,but the Biotec scenario looks to good to be true so it probably is,so will hold off for a while.

Sorry Oblomov,

But you can't say Cock Up anymore (see The Talk to Yourself Thread last week, post 5973) you have to say Male it up.
Wash your mouth out with soap.
I have a good mind to report you to the thought Police

I promise to get back to being sensible when I have something to talk about re SEO.

Been tryring to do some research on silos and the only thing I came up with is that "silos" is an anagram of "i loss", so its probably true :-(
Alan

Alan, I did some research on SPhere and all I could come up with was that 'sphere' is an anagram of 'herpes'!

I'm still hopeful something good will come of this, though, SPwise.

Oblo, is SPwise an invitation for another anagram? we Pi*S?, in the wind perhaps?

The conspiracy theory deepens.
Stanelco is an anagram of "lets con A"
Speaking as one of the Alans of the world, this is worrying..................

Probably, Kim - but like I said, I'm hopefull.

Strange, but since around the time of the open offer and a bit before I was pretty pessimistic when most others here were going through a positive phase - Alan and his ASDA cricket playing pal. Eric and Schroders, etc.

Now I seem to be alone in thinking something good can come out of all this mess.

The way I see it is SEO have hit rock bottom now and can only go up. The core business is functioning as well as ever and the SP is very low considering that.

Paul Mines has drawn a line under the past. Why would he have taken on the job at the time he did if things were as dire as it seems, unless he could see a future?

He has put a stop on the MMP's and Greenseal - a brave decision and not one he would take unless he saw a more profitable direction to take the company in.

I really think those who sold out after the latest drop in SP have got it wrong - with the Sphere/Biotec position the SP could rise dramatically from its current position over the next year or two, though probably not to its former dizzy heights.

And speaking of anagrams - dont forget STANELCO is an anagram of CANT LOSE,
lol.

Also anagram of `act no sel` which just about sums it up

It is also an anagram of 'nose talc'. Could this be a revolutionary new product, are SEO at last ready for global domination? Or will they 'pick' something else??

STEAL - CON

No, the best one is "Cant lose"!!!

The oily one

I'm sure I read that one before, Oily. Oh yes, there it is in my last post! lol

"Last cone"? Former management seen driving ice cream van around Southampton.

"Nose Talc"(Bolivian marching powder),now there's a profitable business!Not to be snorted at.
