panic - 22 Jun 2007 17:23 - 4 of 1468

hi Bugz got in at just under 24 for a small holding, liked what I saw about this float but been wrong before

Bugz - 24 Jun 2007 10:23 - 5 of 1468

Panic, nice to see someone else in! :-)

Yeah I picked some up at the IPO at 23. Seem a good management team (save for White's history at Stanelco!) but the real test will be when they deliver the first unit to Akzo Nobel-if that's a success with little technical problems (prob unlikely!) then we'll see some really good upside.

Generally though the stock hasn't been reported on much and I reckon the volume will pick up quite a bit in the following months. I hope anyway! :-)

I too have been wrong before, very wrong! But hey, we can only try!! lol

I also got in on the IPO for a large holding @ 23p

Do feel also that this is being overlooked although we should get an update on the Money being recieved soon together with the 5kw tests results in August.

Technological milestone - successful operation of first fully scaled single cell

AFC Energy, ('AFC Energy' or the 'Company'), the low cost alkaline fuel cell
company, is pleased to announce that it has successfully achieved its second
technological milestone, the operation of a fully scaled single cell, within the
projected timescale described in the Admission Document.

The scaled cell electrodes are the same size as the electrodes from the first
prototype system measuring 150mm by 250mm. The scaled cell is now being tested
under specific harsh operating conditions, designed to demonstrate durability
and corrosion resistance of the system.

The successful development of the scaled single cell unit is another important
step towards full commercialisation during 2009. The next expected milestone is
the 500 hours operation of the scaled single cell scheduled for October 2007.
These tests have already begun with the scaled cell being exposed to constant,
transient and no load conditions.

The scaled single cell unit successfully demonstrates the generation of
electricity, using both cathode and anode electrodes, from hydrogen and oxygen.
The Directors continue to believe that AFC Energy's fuel cell will have a
conversion efficiency of approximately 60%.

Gerard Sauer, Chief Executive, said: 'AFC Energy remains on track with the
development of its low cost fuel cell. Excellent progress continues to be made
with the electrode and results from initial tests show that power performances
are very encouraging and catalyst degradation is minimal.

'AFC Energy continues to work closely on the development of its technology with
its customer Akzo Nobel which produces substantial amounts on hydrogen from the
production of chlorine. We look forward to delivering our first fuel cells to
Akzo Nobel during 2008.'

Bugz,

Thought I would join you on this quiet thread. Not in yet, just watching and researching AFC after coming across the company a few weeks ago.
The idea looks good and with the Akzo Noble connection it could be the start of something big. As with most sky high or bust shares, I tend to look far deeper than blue chips.

Regards Greek.

greekman - 20 May 2008 09:07 - 11 of 1468

After watching this share closely for several months, decided it was time to take a punt.
I just hope my small foray into AFC is not the kiss of death.

greekman - 23 May 2008 09:51 - 12 of 1468

Re RNS.

Would like to know why and to whom the nil rate transfer was to, as this transfer could be a possible tax move, or a reward system tax loop hole or both.
Just curious as it is only a small amount in value terms. Any idea's anyone.

hlyeo98 - 23 May 2008 11:48 - 13 of 1468

Fuel cell shares are useless. Look at CWR, ITM, CFU. All going down - AVOID

greekman - 23 May 2008 13:55 - 14 of 1468

Hi Hlyeo,

It depends on what type of fuel cells. AFC are the only such company that are taking the actual fuel cell system to the fuel source. There may be others, so I stand to be corrected.
IMHO fuel cell shares have to be looked at as a medium to long term punt. They are not going to make anyone loads of cash overnight.
Oil can't last forever, so some company perhaps already out there will come up with the equivalent of the Holy Grail, so to speak. Obviously most will fail but not all.
Not one for widows and orphans as they say, but, for those willing to bet on fairly long odds that might just pay off.
No risk no gain!

greekman - 03 Jul 2008 08:12 - 15 of 1468

Results out. Not much to say except everything appears to be proceeding as planned. Cash in hand appears sufficient at present flow, hopefully to last re expected time frame regarding other future contracts

greekman - 22 Jul 2008 15:02 - 16 of 1468

What's with so many late trades.
6 plus with 1 (after hours trade that was reported pre market opening so understandable) of total 1,488,270 shares out of 17 trades. That's a very big percentage reported late. Obviously there will always be trades reported late but with a percentage of such proportions, how the hell can anyone get a true real time picture.
Yet another case of market shenanigans, or am I being my usual suspicious self.

I am a mushroom!

greekman - 21 Aug 2008 14:12 - 17 of 1468

Probable seeing something in nothing, but AFC opened level and now just a tad up with no trades. After 7 days of no movement could some info be starting to leaking out.
Or am I straw clutching.

greekman - 21 Aug 2008 17:01 - 18 of 1468

Ops, Almost as soon as I posted the sp moved to level and now closed down so do I eat humble pie and let the above post stand, or do I edit it out hoping no one saw it. I know I will do what Gordon Brown would do, wait till tomorrow and will think about making a possible decision then.

greekman - 22 Aug 2008 07:08 - 19 of 1468

Bugz,

Received your E-Mail, Thanks and agree re AFC possible prospects.

Regards Greek

greekman - 28 Aug 2008 08:26 - 20 of 1468

RNS.

And yet another stage reached in time re delivery of the system to Akzo (6 out of 6 cant be bad) and the system will be switched on and tested sometime in mid-September. No doubt if this system has a successful run in mid Sept then that will no doubt be the start of something big. I can't see anything but success as no doubt the system has been tested in as full a way as you possibly can when running a trial 'off site'.
Still a gamble but not that much, IMHO.

greekman - 28 Aug 2008 15:20 - 21 of 1468

Clarification re previous RNS.
Is this the first hint that AFC are not being straight with what they say. OK may be just a slip but, it's not that hard to get it right, is it? The problem is company statements are like talking things over with the wife, if they catch you out just once,trust, well you know!
Although it looks like someone was so keen to let the world know that they pressed the go button on a release already written.
Lets just hope the word imminent means just that.

greekman - 28 Aug 2008 15:51 - 22 of 1468

Just managed to read the bit that states, delivery intended tomorrow. On this site the clarification RNS was not fully readable for some unknown reason, via the Stockwatch Link. I could only read the previous one a few minutes earlier.
So no doubt tomorrow or Monday we will have the facts.

greekman - 05 Sep 2008 15:08 - 23 of 1468

Looking at last few posts it looks as if I am the only one reading this thread.
Still here goes.

I have just sent the following E-Mail to AFC.

Re misleading RNS+amendment RNS.
I am a member of a share group holding AFC shares.
The amendment RNS used the word imminently. As this implies ready to take place or/and about to happen I feel that clarification of the situation is required. Whilst I except that delays can and do occur, shipment was expected to have been completed by end August. If there is a reason for none fulfillment of the expected order I respectfully submit that as a shareholder I have a right under LSE rules to be informed.

Buys/Sells of AFC shares were effected by both these RNS releases. END

Whilst I appreciate they can not under LSE rules give a selective answer to any individual, they might just clarify that a RNS will be forthcoming in the imminent (that word again) future.
I will obviously post any reply even if it is as expected none committal.
