PURECIRCLE LIMITED

('PureCircle' or 'the Company')

MAJOR CONTRACTS WITH PEPSICO AND WHOLE EARTH

TO SUPPLY REBAUDIOSIDE-A (REB-A*) AND EXCLUSIVE LICENSE TO MARKET REB-A UNDER THE PureVia BRAND

PEPSICO AND WHOLE EARTH INTRODUCE ALL-NATURAL, ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER WITH PURECIRCLE-SOURCED REB-A

The Board of PureCircle announces that it has signed substantial, long-term contracts with PepsiCo and Whole Earth Sweetener Company for the supply of high purity Reb-A for use in beverages and tabletop sweeteners worldwide under the PureVia brand. In addition, PepsiCo and Whole Earth will grant PureCircle an exclusive license to market Reb-A under the PureVia brand in certain categories. PureCircle will be entitled to all profits (including sub-licensing fees) related to this exclusive licensing agreement.

PureCircle will continue to be free to sell the non-branded ingredient to all customers across all categories and geographies.

The announcement, from PepsiCo and Whole Earth Sweetener Company, states that PureVia will debut in a new nutritionally-enhanced PepsiCo beverage called 'SoBe Life,' to be launched in Latin America, starting with Peru. PureViaTM will be available initially in three SoBe Life flavour blends: Tropical-Pomegranate, Strawberry-Kiwi and Orange-Tangerine.

Meanwhile, PureVia tabletop sweetener will launch in the United States this autumn, before expanding into drink and food products around the world.

Commenting on the contract award, Magomet Malsagov, Managing Director of PureCircle, said:

'PureCircle has worked extremely hard to build a capability which can support leading food and beverage manufacturers, such as PepsiCo and Whole Earth, in bringing natural, healthy products to consumers on a worldwide basis. These contracts are an important sign of confidence in PureCircle's capabilities to deliver high quality, consistently-pure Reb-A. We look forward to further developments in this exciting market, which we believe will herald a new era in natural sweetening and engender higher expectations on product taste and delivery among consumers.'

go to post 122 for better charts ..... indications are now that sp might drop to 150 = bottom of bollinger band before rallying

I would be most surprised if we drop to that level as with both the interim results, followed by a presentation to analyist, next wednesday.Although in this market anythings possible, its usual for such pending news to attract shorttermers
with the corresponding rise?

As usual cyners giving his advice and well recieved it is.

Got it wrong though this time.

If only he could do accounts and become a Gary Sobers or an Ian Botham.

Big deal done.......

Strong Results Very Strong Results.......

http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=200903040700122693O


Gross margins improved 9 percentage points from 31% to 40% but, with projected volumes for FY2009 running at just 17.5% of December 2009 refinery capacity, the Group has significant potential to improve margins further as refining throughput increases and the Group reaps the benefits of economies of scale.


The Group has a robust balance sheet with net assets of US$86.0 million and a strong cash position of US$27.3 million.

In todays market. results which shine out like a beacon in the night,i'm very comfortable with my long term stratagy with this company.

And just look how the margins are increasing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes i can see the market will enjoy these once digested, perhaps some of the info
was already known to them, but still always better to have them confirmed.

I do believe they are meeting with a load of analysts later today? It'll take a little time before we see some real SP reaction imv, so hoping the market holds in the meantime?

London: 12 January 2009

PureCircle (LSE:PURE), the world's leading developer, producer and marketer of high-purity Rebaudioside A (Reb A), the first all-natural zero calorie sweetener, will be announcing its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2008 on 4 March 2009. A presentation for analysts, which will include an update on general business developments, will take place that morning at 09.30 at the offices of College Hill*.

fingers crossed for today.

bit of a damp squib so far!

Yep was expecting big things from this one.

Sign of the times we are in at the moment.

The potential is massive.

Disappointing responce to the half year report, thought we might test 200p seeing
as it broke 190p a few weeks ago. A very positive upbeat set of results and i think this view copied from elsewhere say's it all,

Well, little action on these results, I guess because things are simply "on track". I think everyone invested here is aware of ramifications for growth companies when targets are not achieved. The last few paragraphs of the chairmans statement sum up pretty nicely what we are paying for.

Events are moving on at a pace in the wider market. With widespread regulatory clearances and many major product launches, it is clear that this is going to be a large global industry.

PureCircle is the undisputed market leader. We are demonstrably scaling our business rapidly and we have robust plans in place to keep doing so.

This is an exciting time for PureCircle. As with all businesses, but we look forward to reporting on further progress.

So you either believe and happy to hold as contract news could be just around the corner, or sell and possibly miss the boat.

Perhaps the sp may move if there is a hint of a takeover otherwise its dead money for sometime.

Disappointed it didnt move to 180p today.

note how low the volume .... however, assuming NY holds its strong performance, you may see some action .... worth buying? .... a bit questionable i think

Lets all be honest here cyners as a good point.

Its been a damp squib on these results.

No good kidding ourselves otherwise.

Im holding my physical stock but closing out on my trading s /bet.

unless something spectacular happens this morning, which is extremely unlikely, digit's stance must be the correct one

Buy at 150p and sell at 180p is my philosophy third time in 3 months.
