Sarantel’s revolutionary ceramic filtering antennas offer dramatically improved performance over existing antenna designs, resulting in a clearer signal, better range and a 90 per cent reduction in the amount of signal radiation absorbed by the body. Because of their smaller size and higher capabilities, Sarantel’s antennas enable manufacturers to create innovative wireless products for the GPS, Satellite Radio and Satellite phone markets. This company is only going forward from here.

Then you go and put this is shortly before I post... Sarantel’s technology has gained significant traction in the military market place and the Group is confident that it will maintain that momentum in this rapidly growing market as it develops new products and key customer relationships. There are also a large number of encouraging new opportunities in the broader GPS market and, having secured the £2m secured loan facility to provide additional working capital with support from a major customer and the Group’s Bank, the outlook for Sarantel’s technology remains very positive.

I don't see what relevance this has in the future of this company... I've quoted you... "We were never told that the Parent company of SLG's sub contracted manufacturing compancy had been liquidated and subsequently taken over by a French outfit! No wonder there were my suspicions of a "hidden agenda" GL here the Board remains "confident" for the future profitability." This is in the past and its not directly SLG. I'm sure this works the same way as The firms I work for in construction. If a company goes down the pan on a lower level then its not really a problem as someone else( in this case the french) will fill the gap. the other way around is a bit more serious eg the military going bust ? I dont think so. tee hee. The worst case scenario in what you have mentioned (IMO) is that the subcontractor no longer needs to be paid. tee hee. Its bad news for anyone to go under mind you but I dont think this applies to SLG si think we should stick with the positive news and what looks like a positive future.

This shot up on a very sharp spike to around 25% this morning I dummy sold 100,000 shares and my price was £1001 with commision taken out. This happened very fast indeed. I never took the offer, although i was rather shocked to see it and it went back down when I checked again. 1p share is not too far away and more from what I saw. I also put this down to a glitch in the matrix as I saw what I saw but the trend did not continue. Also the amount of shares available to sell was only 100,000 hardly enough to start a bidding war. What it tells me, or what I think it tells me is that this share is very much sought after. Mortazavi has not sold all of his holding,(he still has 25,000,000) so nothing wrong there.

If this company is expected to grow and this year turn a profit, do you think they will be investing elswhere to expand even more ?

Again ! All good news ! This company has still invested in research and improvement in spite of past setbacks and now it is looking rosy. Ps, is it not a plain goose (although pretty fat) that lays the golden eg rather than a golden goose ? (petty snipe at your informative and well written comments)

Revenues..Fri 07:39 Non recurring Engineering revenues improved 141% so if Revenue was £2.2Mns down from £2.9Mns then there must have been some dramatic drop off of sales from continuing operations! The company mentions somewhere(input overload D:) that some contracts were not fulfilled by others but the company recovered so this may be the reason for the drop off sales ?

well what do think is blatantly obvious ? I did have to google a bit to work out what you are saying. The way I see this in simple on the surface terms is that the contract is in place the money has been lent and the business can only go forward. The potential for business to increase on the strength of this is speculative. My opinion only.
