Have you emigrated ? lol

currently on biz in dubai but back tomorrow evening

...Shame -):

i agree .... the weather at this time of year in dubai is delightful - say 25/30 - with low humidity

All well and good but you can’t beat that good old traditional English weather I say, can’t stand the heat but as you say much better when it’s a dry heat.

Safe journey home as there’s rioting in Europe you know 😃

i'm already back at the office!

What on a Sunday? That’s double time then thank you very much.

He means the wine cellar. lol

Oh yeah I forgot how silly of me -:

no wine until this evening :-)

Detractors who might have been hoping for some ammunition to present itself in the interim results were disappointed. I was braced for a possible backward step if additional expenses had produced a wider loss - but that didn't happen, and the prospect for good news around e/o January, and February, looks promising. Promising enough to look good when the March 31st year-end figures appear.

Patent Award

Versarien plc
("Versarien" or the "Company")
Patent Award
Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that the Company's subsidiary Gnanomat S.L. ("GNA") has been awarded a patent by the Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas, the Spanish patent office, covering a method of obtaining nanomaterials composed of carbonaceous material (e.g. graphene) and metallic oxides.
Versarien acquired 62% of GNA, based in the Parque Cientifico Madrid, Spain, in September 2018. GNA is using Versarien's graphene products in an environmentally friendly, scalable production process for energy storage devices that offer high power density, almost instant recharging and very long lifetimes for use in electric vehicles and portable electronics products.
The patent covers a key element of this production process, allowing GNA to combine materials such as Versarien's graphene with metallic oxides in a liquid medium at moderate pressures and temperatures. These compounds can be produced in industrial quantities and the patented process allows the physical and chemical properties of the nanomaterials to be fixed by controlling the synthesis parameters. The Company believes that the nanomaterials obtained following this methodology provide good energy storage properties in a reproducible way.
It is the intention of GNA to extend this patent to cover territories including, amongst others, further European countries, the USA, Canada, China, Korea, Japan and India.
Roberto Clemente, GNA's CEO, commented: "The award of this patent is a key step to protect GNA's technology and the future commercial rights of its products. This milestone is part of our strategy to protect all of our key intellectual assets and we anticipate more patents will be developed and incorporated in due course."
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We have been very pleased with the acquisition of GNA and the progress they have been making in recent months. The award of this patent is a key milestone as we continue to develop technology that we believe will enable the development of commercially viable graphene enhanced batteries and other energy storage devices.
"The incorporation of graphene into energy storage devices has the potential to radically enhance their capabilities, meeting the ever increasing demands to improve power density and reduce charging times for everything from hand held devices to electric cars. This is just one example of Versarien's presence at the leading edge of developing commercially relevant graphene based technology."

I have just had the ex traordinary experience, because of my age, of an extended one-to-one with NR. I absolutely have to share it with fellow investors. I was left feeling that I had spent a preciously short time with a great visionary, at the same time unusually astute business and marketing manager/leader who will influence, even enable, major industrial change throughout the industrial world, and that the course is now set for exponential growth and dominance by Versarien of a step change in the production of a very large number of industries.

NR has often been quoted from his tweets as saying " you ain't seen nothing yet" and I now believe that what might come across secondhand as bombast and unrealistic optimism, is the truth beyond normal experience, which is why most of VRS announcements increase scepticicism with the average investor. The situation is analogous to that pertaining 10 years ago to self driving cars and today towards Elon Musk's courageous Tesla project and his outside-the-box efforts now extending to hyperloop travel. It all seems so plausible and just too good to be true.

Only it IS true.

This morning's RNS of a further mind- blowing collaboration MOU with a Chinese state owned aerospace company, will surprise no VRS shareholders and would on its own have been sufficient to underpin the future of VRS. As usual it has cut no ice with the City, who have demonstrqated time after time in their collective ignorance of science that they think that the UK can live on financial engineering, maniipulation and hot air, rather than from producing global industrial leaders from innovation and seriously heavy investment in infrastructure.

The current Government understands this with its following just in time of the EU lead in sprinkling funds effectively over the medical and engineering science reasearch departments of our world leading universities and science parks. Innovation is now being effectively seeded all over the UK.

VRS seems to be succeeding miraculously in laying the basis for an industrial revolution that could save this country. Its project is more desperately relevant than ever to mitigate the self harm in train from the UK political process.

Neill Ricketts began his life's monument traditionally, in a garage, and for five years grew the roots of a viable business in the narrow niche of heat transfer via copper foam. That was I think the most difficult part, The necessary frugal habits allowed him the growth without relying on the potential treachery of banks and greedy controlling financial partners. He is therefore unusually free from interference in forming policy. Current shareholders benefit hugely from the ensuing increase in their share of the assets, and freedom from the fear of takeover by an unwelcome approach.

IMO he demonstrated his ability to makea step changes in the profitability of the VRS business model with the first one, the RNS launching Polygrene. The incorporation of the nanene content into the base plastic not only adds value to each transaction, but it avoids the damaging risk of having to release and licence the knowledge of how to maximise the effect of the mix, and therefore preserves the value of the company's IP. This is far better than just selling the nanene and enabling clients to build their own proprietary know-how. NR intends to exploit this idea further down the added value chain to selling formed parts of the actual product improved by the inclusion of nanene. There are also secrets in the nanene production process which go far beyond the provision of a patented machine and quelled my fears of loss of IP from a very acquisitive and inquisitive range of Chinese giant corporations.

I have long felt that the consequence of the efforts of management experimentation, and thinking " outside the box" over the last ten years - and 18 months of initiating "Co-operations"with around 50 major corporations (possibly hundreds of small ones too) is in some ways analagous to successful farming.

This for the understandable sceptics who can "see" nothing happening:

The ideal land has been found, prepared, tilled, fertilised, and seeded.
A crop is predictable but unquantifiable in the short term but is just beginning to sprout. .Just one or two shoots are visible

Nonne can predict the size of thr crop but rest assured it is absolutely colossal.
