The unveiling of two license agreements, along with notable royalties and sales this month, reflects a remarkable turnaround and a greatly enhanced strategic approach.
Organizations are purchasing the product, it indicates strong demand from their customers. Just imagine, once the share price rises and the Ukraine war concludes, the potential for explosive growth could be immense.
As always I am not here to encourage purchasing , I am just here to warn of the clowns that circulate these forums
VRS, like many companies listed on the LSE, has experienced its share of challenges. Despite the negative sentiment some hold, suggesting the company's imminent downfall and pointing to the decline in share price, it's important to look at the full picture.
The company underwent significant changes last year, including the dismissal of a CEO due to subpar performance. A new strategy was implemented, which has shown signs of promise; this is evidenced by an grant from the European Union to a subsidiary, which may lead to increased revenue streams.
Additionally, the sale of the Korean plant and subsequent licensing revenues have bolstered the company's financial standing. The recent agreement in South America further supports the effectiveness of the turnaround strategy.
When examining the stock's performance graphs, it's clear that after reaching a low point, there is a resurgence in strength. This suggests that VRS is currently in a more stable position compared to others, which faces potential administration issues.
This analysis aims not to influence purchasing decisions but to provide clarity amidst the speculative noise generated by market makers' agents who may have an interest in driving the stock price down.
Well, well, well, would you look at that? The parade of doom-mongers marching out of the woodwork is truly astounding! But sorry, folks, this isn't the apocalypse we ordered. Take "Cambridge" for instance, the poster child for spreading panic faster than a squirrel on an energy drink. Check out his BB messages on other companies where he claims he's not a stockholder, yet he's peddling more doom than a haunted house on discount.
And can we talk about the only RNS updates we seem to get? Selling assets in Korea and winning contracts in Brazil with royalties
Sure, the company has had its share of misfortunes, but they've got a strategy up their sleeves to turn things around, and guess what? It's actually working!
So, to all the doom-and-gloomers out there, kindly pack your bags and sling your hooks because this creative panic party is invitation-only, and you ain't on the list!
0.20 paid there.
look at the other board. time after time, day after day, hour after hour - there are the same names. if you really have to show up to do your civic duty of warning people off the investment rocks almost every 30 minutes, are you really concerned about how other people invest their money - or have you got vested interests? surely, it’s a no-brainer.
some even imply that you can’t go short. wow, suddenly no spread-betting on aim stocks? just because institutional short interest above a certain level doesn’t show doesn’t mean you can’t heavily bet against the company.
but, for good measure, how about a review of the criticisms.
complaints that the board/mgt don’t buy. if they did ahead of material news, well, there are rules aren’t there. which critics allege the company haven’t followed. a time of trying to sell off assets and (hopefully) announce new contracts may just present difficulties with insider buying windows. so damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
tw (and his fans or aliases) - frequently trumpeting his wins about aim fraudsters. most sme’s fail. you could pick any basket of aim shares and be sure that the vast majority of them will get over excited and fall to near zero. look at similarities in hype post and disillusionment. that’s human behaviour.
also tw - why is he so selective with where he dumps his rusty ‘sherrif’s’ badge? was he sniffing around 4d pharma? that’s been catastrophic. where’s the outrage and investigation? how many times does he initiate shareholder action groups and get successful outcomes?
also tw - the self confessed climate sceptic. you might want to take advice on innovation from someone who respects science. (remember, his sensationalist headlines aren’t just looking out for ‘mug punters’ - it’s subscription hunting).
climate scepticism and innovation don’t sit happily together. you’ll be a lot happier with a basket of oil and gas majors. you might be forgiven for concluding that tw is on the books of the oil and gas lobby.
it’s also worth keeping in mind that our exit from the eu goes deeper than trade barriers. back in sept the uk rejoined the eu’s horizon programme. that’s 2 years of missed opportunity for uk science from the world’s largest science fund (approx €85 billion).
then there’s china, and our hockey ****ey relationship with who uk plc wants to get into bed with. but let’s ignore that, too because - we’ve all been conned!!!!
and so the list goes on. should you invest? probably not. you’ll tell yourself, ‘don’t put in more than you can afford to lose’. but you won’t. stay away from aim.
look at the misery caused. people complaining about marriages ruined, homes sold. doesn’t matter whether you’re a ‘mug’, or a ceo. it’s greed. we all think we’re immune, and very few of us are. (whether or not it would have to be this specific stock that’s responsible for your ruin is irrelevant).
The inaccurate use of words e.g. "soars" in the media is verging on criminal. SP has risen from a great fall e.g. "collapsed"
I bought in today and mine is showed as a sell.
Best Wishes Karl
My 650,000 sale was also a buy!
The 10:32 transaction of 162000 shares was in fact a purchase, so I think it's safe to assume all those recent so-called sells this morning at around that price (0.15) are also buys. The investment proposition is starting to look much more attractive now with these latest contractual developments and the positive media coverage should help things along nicely.
You would have to think that news relating to concrete and 3d printing is imminent due to Ben's return
I see the mathematically illiterate are out in force elsewhere - surprised they haven't made it here yet - by claiming that the deal announced today is only worth £25k (when in fact it guarantees £50k [if really pessimistic] or £200k if you count everything mentioned - with an unlimited upside beyond £200k).
Yes £200k isn't a huge amount - though for Graphene related sales actually it is (and this applies as much to HAYD, DCTA or anyone else as much as it does to VRS) - it does demonstrate that things are moving forward.
Overall the last week has generated ca £700k of income with unlimited licensing revenue - not a bad story and shows that VRS are making progress regardless of what some may have you believe. Now if only they could come up with some news flow in relation to Concrete (and especaily Admixes)
Agreed LSE, this appointment augurs well, as I don't see anyone choosing to join a sinking ship, especially a professional of his calibre. Couple that with today's Korean sale news and licensing deal, then we might conclude that the turnaround strategy is visibly starting to come to fruition. I was heartened that it was some solid, progressive news, for a change and not the much anticipated further dilution. Additionally, I feel that NR must know that this phoenix is destined to rise from the ashes, otherwise he wouldn't be unashamedly chasing it through the courts for more cash - with all of the ensuing bad feeling from ex-colleagues/local business contacts - so he obviously feels that it will be well worth his while. Looking to be an interesting year ahead imo and no, I don't foresee administration just yet.
That is interesting,use99.i hadn't realised the still had the 3d printing machine (i assume from this appointment that they must still have it).

Hardly the actions of a company about to go bust. Far from it. There's obviously a pressing need for this appointment. Somethings afoot. That's very clear

VRS lost £3.4 million in last six months.so Versarien Korea saves £250,000 in six months and Ricketts saves around £120,000 so Versarien still loses a lot even after removing your two items.
Versarien Korea Limited, which operated the Korean Plant, made a loss after tax of £771,690 in the 18 months to 30 September 2022. So that's a £771k loss off the books forever plus £604k for the sale of the assets. Ricketts garden leave payments are finished now too. Significant savings and much improved financially going forward
The sale proceeds won’t last 12 months from when accounts are published just look at how frequently it has placed over last 15 months.
The group remains loss making so a material uncertainty over going is pretty much nailed on from auditor.
I suspect net assets will be minimal as well once they record write of intangibles.
At last a patented use for graphene as promised by this company,i take it we didnt sell many football shirts then.
Don't talk rot. No chance of admin. The auditor will now sign us off as a going concern with this cash now on the books. Happy Monday everyone 😀
Will all be sold off and this will be in administration by summer
Due a good here, it’s dropped to the floor and ready to bounce.
