Superpuffer says "FD has no contact with the London market at all" whilst talking about MARS, as MARS has very little exposure to London (nor the South East in general) why do London trends matter to MARS prospects ? If he is talking about the stock market in London I think we all know on this board who to take notice of when analysing the financials & it sure is not superpuffer ?
We all know that the bulk of their estate is rather further north of the M25, perhaps he had been imbibing rather too much of their products last night as his after midnight posting is somewhat incoherent.

Clearly the CFO is a bright one, he knows it is much better to put his £42grand straight into the market than into a range of his crummy EIS portfolios like I did (before seeing the light & buying the shares) even after the generous tax breaks...

Amati are awash with cash from their last fund raise and in a recent (last 2 weeks) webinar said they are still trying to invest that cash.
Considering vct's are limited as to how much cash they are allowed at any one time due to their generous tax breaks, they are most certainly not selling to meet redemptions.
Perhaps they are just fed up with holding it ?
For a long time this was the vct's most valuable holding
Superdischarger (puffer)
So Stonegate now becomes Stonebridge, do you know something we don't ?
RF was a top man in your book. Andrea was splendid.
What made you change your mind on these ?
After your constant pointing out the increase of sales we'd see from the warm weather in summer, (when most were drinking at home on cheap supermarket drinks), I was amazed that you did not suggest that the 2 major storms recently would not also be good for Mars on Mr Robert Zimmerman's basis of "I'll give ya shelter from the storm".
My fancy is that would create more drinkers than your warm weather as people wouldn't want to leave, did you miss a puff there perhaps ?
I refer you to the rolling thunder tour for any more insight.
Thunder being rather stronger than your puffing I suggest.
FD
You beat me to it !
I note that they are sticking to their trading guidance so now let us see if the new suit can come up with a plan for the debt mountain, and an update on their unwanted premises would also be helpful.
RNS announcig the FD has resigned with immediate effect and they already have a replacement.
Never a good sign, especially with the enquiry still ongoing but perhaps that was the reason for the weak share price ?
I always felt this could be a takeover target, perhaps that day will come ?
