DYOR - - - - - - - - - Biom Technologies mid-July 2010 AIM
This is the new resting place for Stanelco, the wonder producer of starch-based food-trays...only they didn't catch on.Over the last 10 years to 2010 the 0.1p shares traded abour 2.5p then shot up to 24p during 2005 with promise of Tray-Trials I understand. Within a year or so, they fell to new depths and finished at 0.2p Of course they were full-list then and some were held in ISA's hoping there would be a big profit...only now these are distressed sales as the Company slunk off to AIM, presumably "...to provide better shareholder-value"
Perhaps someone closer to the Co. can explain why the new name is Biome
....rhymes with Home. Often it is done to remove the previous sp-history.
Could it be..so new investors can bask in ignorance, etc. I'm not aware of any "change" in fortune for SEO, rather the reverse.
In my limited experience, the longer the name of a company the longer you have to wait for any return...Huh . . . . . .
. SEO had been a terrible investment.
DYOR.
Can Biome be any worse...?
EDIT ( 24April2017)- "just woken up" -me not BIOME - sp is 154, but I note about June 2013 there was what looks like a CONsolidation . . do I recall many LT investors were sold-short?... as I believe the (new share) numbers were terrible! . . . Anyone?

McDonald's using compostable plastics at the London Olympics
By Anthony Clark | PRW
Posted July 26, 2012
LONDON (July 26, 7 a.m. ET) -- McDonald’s, which will be running the world's largest fast-food outlet at the Olympic park in Stratford, east London, will be using Novamont’s Mater-Bi bioplastic for its cups, cutlery, straws, lids and containers.

“Many McDonald’s items were already compliant with the EN13432 compostability standards but did not have the certification,” said the company’s environment consultant Helen McFarlane.

“We obtained this by working alongside our suppliers for almost two years, with considerable investment in research and development.”

Mater-Bi will compost with anaerobic digestion, according to Italy’s Novamont, helping make the expected 3,300 metric tons of food and food-related packaging waste that the games will generate easier to handle than if conventional materials are used.

London Olympic and Paralympic Games organizing committee (Locog) has set the objective of 70 percent of the waste produced by the events should go for recycling, re-use or composting.

Novamont operates in the UK, Germany, France, Benelux, Scandinavia, Denmark, US, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

According to an independent environmental agency report, it has been shown that the average normal thin plastic bag has a lower carbon footprint than the average
re-usable bag and does less overall damage to the environment.
If you use such a plastic bag only once, you would have to use a cotton bag 327 times (don't ask me how they worked that out) to achieve the same carbon footprint.
Customers do not tend to keep cotton bags this long, and if they do they become breading grounds for bacteria.
Also in use, cotton bags can leak chemicals whereas plastic bags do not.
It is disposal that causes the big problem for the plastic bag.
END.

Just a thought.
Perhaps some company with a forward looking Bod could develop a plastic bag that is bio-degradable.
Just think what a winner they would have.
After all it would surely be a product that potential customers would be queueing up for.
Surely this would be a 'No Brainer'.

I'm sure that in my distant memory there was such a company!
I wonder what became of it!

From a female monkey to a greekman F Knows (The F could be interpreted as FLIP)!!!! The FLIP could also be underlined. What a load of cods wallop this has turned out to be.

Agreed, its nuts monkey, or should that be ?

Shares Magazine this week highlighting in a positive way BIOM. Am I dreaming?

Kiss of death :-)

can not go down any lower so any upside is a bonus-relatively speaking- hope to see approx 3p/s in my lifetime to breakeven .......

Shares Magazine a joke last week they were upping BIOM today i.e 1 week later they come out with a serious sell call. MUPPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuffing great - I must be 99.99% down on these from wonderful Stanelco days, what next - bust or what????

I actully did quite well into the initial Stanelco rally all those years ago, you must have turned up at the party late along with most posters here and got caught out paying a high premium to valuation. Its always a hard lesson, move on and learn from your mistake, no point investing any further energy here. I feel this stock will be delisted before long..

Royston Wild was the author of both articles! Job vacancy coming up at Shares mag?! ;o)

To be fair, he didn't tip BIOME as a buy in the first article.

NO BUT HE WAS UPBEAT ABOUT THEM. BECAUSE OF THAT I BOT ANOTHER 25 MILLION BIOME SHARES -COST ME ANOTHER TENNER.......LOL

Skinflint! ;o)

Blah blah blah.

Prototype Delivery for Stanelco RF Technologies

Biome Technologies is pleased to announce that its Stanelco RF Technologies ("Stanelco RF") division has successfully delivered the first prototype portable welding device to Durapipe UK Ltd as required under the development contract announced on 10 January 2012.

Possible revenue of over £2 mill spread over 3 to 4 years.
Not knocking any sales contract but this on its own won't save Biome on their cash burn!

Hmm. Their wonderful Greenseal machine was a prototype too!

Interim Results

Highlights
· Group Revenues reached £7.5m; loss from operations £1.1m
· Cash position £1.2m
· Loss per share 0.022p
· Stanelco RF delivered its first prototype portable welding device to Durapipe UK
· BiomeHT signed up for pre launch evaluation testing with a leading single use foodservice products manufacturer
· Actions to reduce costs by c£600k per year have been completed
· Turin court ruled in favour of Biotec, Biome's joint venture with Sphere, in the first instance with regards to the Novamont litigation


Paul Mines, Chief Executive Officer said:

"I am pleased to report that despite a challenging market both divisions have made significant progress in bringing our innovative products a step closer to commercialisation. The RF division is developing a portable induction welding system with Durapipe and has delivered the first prototype. In addition, bioplastics division has signed a pre launch agreement with a leading manufacturer of single use foodservice products for BiomeHT, which is our innovative range of temperature stable bioplastics. During the period we have also aligned the cost base with the subdued demand in the bioplastics market in Europe."

- Ends -

Obviously not looked at the detail yet (do we need to) as I feel the first couple of figures says it all.
Over the last 6 months revenue down well down, losses well up.

Losses in last 6 months £1.1mill.
Cash in bank £1.2mill.

Paul Mines, Chief Executive Officer said:
"I am pleased to report that despite a challenging market both divisions have made significant progress in bringing our innovative products a step closer to commercialisation.
And whats the wording of this supposed to convey, 'Group Revenues reached £7.5m', as it makes it sound like revenues are climbing upward.There not!

That step closer to commercialisation will have to be a very big and very quick one, as if they burn cash at the present rate, after another six months they will only have £100,000 left.
Just about enough for a closing down party.

The end must be nigh!

Greek - I've effectively written these off.
