Now for the really nerdy amongst us, I would note that OBT already had a buyback authorisation in place for the previous year (these things go for a one year period, AGM to AGM). Exactly, as I said the last time our over ramper claimed this meant that they `are` doing a buyback, this authorisation doesn`t mean they are doing a buyback, just that the authorisation is in place if they decide to...its a legal requirement to clear it with shareholders, thats all. When/if they decide to go ahead with it they will announce it via RNS, not necessarily every purchase but just that the programme has started with the details of the total amount they intend to purchase. They haven`t done that yet, the same as they didn`t do it last year even though the authorisation was in place. As far as our resident over ramper, he`s comes out with so much bs and speculation that he`s even claiming that I`m not a shareholder, you`d only have to go back over my last 18 months or more of posting on here about OBT and what I`ve been saying to be able to satisfy yourself that I am a long term investor in OBT, but he prefers to make things up to try to claim some sort of credibilty. Here`s a guy who even posts links of speculation of takeovers and other wierd and wonderful theories from people on other sites who themselves admit that they are just guessing with `idle speculation` using terms like `I should imagine, and he puts a title on his post of `very interesting takeover thoughts`! This guy is an out and out balloon who lives in cuckoo land. TS, the only `fact` about any share buyback is that it has been authorised by the way of an AGM resolution, a formality should they wish to go ahead with it, the same authorisation that they passed last year....FACT!

I see our resident over ramper is back whipping hiself into a little froth...trouble is, some of his over ramping is just imaginary bs, like this buyback nonsense. We went through this a while back, so TS, please post a link where OBT have so much as hinted that they are planning a share buyback.... You can`t...... you couldn`t a few weeks ago and you still can`t today because they haven`t said anything about a share buyback. If they had it would be quite a significant move and would have been discussed at some length on here by more posters than just yourself. Keep your posts real ffs, not imaginary!

Merely.

BBN, the wording in the report mentions 'non compliance' which is standard terminology in industry in general so I wouldn't take that as serious failings. Alot of the time it is mearly pedantry to tick every box before a 'jobsworth' is prepared to sign the paperwork off. Non compliance sounds worse than it usually is.

Ok BBN, I can see what you mean about timeframes for the certs. All looks good for a rosy future and maybe see news about the timber situation soon too. The next few months look to be very important and more than happy to hold. Cheers.

Cheers BBN, I`ll have a look at some point over the wkend, the only thing I was thinking was that those timeframes etc may have been based on how they saw it before JD and her team were employed so could have changed since then. Obviously if it was published after she was taken on and included her assessment then thats where we are. I`ll have a look, thanks for that.

Not sure what you`re referring to, I`m just going by the results RNS at the end of June which don`t have pages listed by number. When I look at the website under `investor relations` > `regulatory news` it just comes up with the same RNS. Can you post a link so that I can see what you`re referring to. I presume its a pdf file.

The company seem like they are finally taking this issue seriously with the appointment of Julie Dedman and her team two months ago to help fastrack these food and safety certificates, as well as quality of production. Reading between the lines I think they have been trying to juggle too many balls in the past but are now eager to focus more on building a proper, well run, highly profitable business. This year will be a gamechanger in my opinion, with the retail outlets (one more opening very soon) being properly managed, the forestry reorganisation and the food production in full swing. With everything I`ve read about how much this company value should be I find it staggering that the shareprice is virually dormant at the moment, but thats how the market works I suppose, particularly AIM. I`m really looking forward to the day when they announce the food and safety certs are in place, because I think that will be the spark to light the blue touchpaper, and we can`t be far off now that the experts are on it. We are coming up to 1 month into the `within 3 months` that was stated in the results, but this time they must have asked Julie Dedman for her estimate, so I`m optimistic that this time their stated timeframe goal will be more accurate.

How people can be utterly convinced they know whether a trade was a buy or sell according to data that is not reliable. This question has been raised dozens of times on AIM stock discussion boards and some still take the published data as concrete reliable data. If there`s one thing I have learned its not to follow the trade data `too` closely, just look at the price, and particularly the closing price for the best clues. There were plenty of large `sells` today too, if you go by the data, but all just `too`ing and `fro`ing of daily AIM market as far as I`m concerned....fact is, price is hovvering around this level until a sniff of an update passes before the ones in the know, you know..the fat greedy bloated corrupt aholes that sit on their fat backend waiting for the nod and the wink. Then you`ll see the price move....before we get the official update.

Please explain why you think the share price rose from an intraday low of 8.13p on the 16th Oct `14 to a close of 12.5p on the 19th Dec `14...a 50% rise, and whats changed since then apart from profit takers cashing in and the AMI overhang keeping the price artificially low. Some people don`t do their homework as to why the price has fallen recently, and by the way, it also went from 8.5p to 12.25p in March...with volume of 16m in two days!!! The recent results didn`t spark the expected rise because the GAP food safety certs have been delayed a little longer...thats already factored in to the current price and if it was going to collapse it would have done so by now. The certs getting signed off and the forestry divestment news and already stated dividend prospects(imminent/anytime) `will` have a positive effect on the shareprice. I just hope you are still short when they are announced because you `will` be caught with your `shorts` down and will have to rapidly close. And remember, this is AIM and when these announcements hit the market you will be lucky to close your short below 9.5p...if you`re quick, and lucky, and not caught out on the toilet at the time. Very risky!

Well said balloon, I couldn`t be bothered to say it because its a waste of time. He`ll only come back with `look at the price`. He hasn`t got an opposing view, just one liner deramps because he`s gambled on a short.

Ha ha, yeah thought so, you`re short but you haven`t got the courage of your conviction to admit it. That is one of the riskiest shorts I`ve seen, high risk/low reward, right at the low of an established year long channel. Unless you`re banking on a full Greek default but even then you could have picked a better target to guarantee a good fall!

You`re too late, you should have shorted 3 months ago!! Ha ha! The next phase is up, no doubt when it gets back to the top of the channel at 12.5p you`ll be saying its time to buy. The question remains, why are you here Mr honest?

ha ha ha....yeah that was a little tongue in cheek moment from me on a day when the whole market was down. Notice how the whole market had a better day today and low and behold OBT goes up with it. You joined the LSE yesterday purposely to deramp this share with your inciteful and well researched prophesy of `6p tomorrow`....brilliant. You are obviously short, and I hope you are forced to close very soon...if you haven`t already.

Yes this clown joined LSE on Wed and just posted nonsense on here to see if he/she could get a bite from anyone, I`m glad you all saw through this obvious deramp. I also hope he/she was short and soiled his/her pants/knickers when the price ticked up today!! Its not that easy to spook any holders on here, OBT has too many positives......maybe try somewhere else!

Agreed....a greed! Thats all it was, these `poor` people were suckered in at the end of a long rally, a bull trap! And to make matters worse for them alot were pursuaded to take out loans to `join` the rally. Don`t forget this is a country that hasn`t got alot of experience of capitalism, but they`re learning now.

Lovely jubbly, yes all those lovely large buys today and no rollovers...apart from the shareprice which `rolled over` yet again. Give you a nice warm cosy feel doesn`t it.

yeah, and now a 380, 871 buy pops up even earlier than that one. It has to be a buy @8p.....and the price goes down!!! If this corruption wasn`t so depressing it would be hilarious.

This has been a bit confusing tonight, and I couldn`t work out why Barclays were showing volume of 8.863,740 today, yet MoneyAM, LSE, iii, and my Sharescope Gold trading program all show volume of 1,213,740 !! Then I looked at the date and the 2 x 3.5m rollovers were from last Thursday 2/7/15, the day of the extended lower intraday shadow on last weeks candle. Don`t have a clue why this happens but at least my head isn`t playing tricks on me now, although it does leave a balance of 650,000 unaccounted for on the day. I`m sure its in the trades data somewhere but I won`t be scrambling my little brain anymore trying to find them! Another AIM market smoke and mirrors trick no doubt.

No surprise there then, MM`s were always going to knock this down after the Greek vote. Varoufakis`s resignation might facilitate a bit more room for a deal, he obviously wasn`t liked by the dictators in Brussels because of his straight talking. Lets see where we close for the day.
