Well done to CFU for getting a NOMAD. Next up the suspension of the stock will be lifted in the UK, then we will see how many holders want to run for the door. The price should be set to open at the UK equivalent of the Aussie price through arbitrage at 2.98p, a significant drop from the 3.75p it closed at when it was suspended. £5m of debt, that won't help the SP at all. Dreams of 10p, yeah right, keep dreaming. Below are the MCap's of all the new NOMAD's stocks, not very big list and not many big MCap's in there. 7 12 14 14 18 22 22 24 24 39 49 51 55 63 87 98 99 117 123 137 147 170 201 225 283 320 322 368 392 555 593 623 1700

Yet again I am spot on. I said a few months ago that the next fund raising would likely be as low as 2p and it is at 2.14p. Also worth noting they are only able so far to raise enough cash to last 3 months at the current burn rate. If they get the tax refund they should be safe for 6 months but will need to look at raising cash again in 3-4 months. Sales in Q1 were rubbish. Manufacturing cost is still far too high at £18,000 per system and they will only drop around 18% if they double production, but sales are not coming in to make that happen. Best hope is that they get some sales momentum and that the next fund raising is again at 2p, but it looks so risky now that a sell off could mean 1p or less in 4 months time.

The next RNS that CFU holders will be praying for is to say that CFU have appointed a new Nominated Advisor, if that one does not arrive then the next certain RNS will be to say CFU is being delisted from AIM. They might issue an RNS on fund raising before a UK Nominated Advisor is appointed, but that does not guarantee that a UK Nominated Advisor will be appointed, it just makes it a bit more likely.

spred, that has absoultely bog all to do with CFU. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/04/27/uk-montepaschi-nomura-idUKBRE93Q03220130427

larryh, I have been warning people for years about the cash burn of CFU, leading to dilution after dilution, because they were nowhere near looking like becoming profitable in the past several years that I have been keeping an eye on them. Well I guess today is a bad day because as ianous says, if CFU fail to appoint a broker within a month then the stock will be delisted from AIM (I don't know about ASX though). The reason the broker quit has to be to do with the fund raising, If CFU are going direct to the Chinese supplier for cash again then the broker might be peeved at not getting a slice of the action. If CFU are having a lot of trouble getting cash of anyone then the broker would have lost all confidence in the company and that would have made it quit. If CFU want enough cash to last 2 years (and boy it does NEED it) and was going to get the cash off the Chinese supplier then the broker would see the huge dilution other shareholders would get and the broker would quit before the sh** hit the fan. Whichever way you cut it the broker quiting means there is bad news for shareholders behind the scenes. Bluegen.net is still only showing 265 units installed. Only 20 BG's installed in 4 months, 60 per annum. Still a cottage industry and a heavy cash burning one at that. Investors could be totally screwed now.

Looks like the broker has lost all confidence in CFU and thrown the towel in. That is usually the reason for brokers quiting on companies. Maybe the fund raising is as I had predicted, a large chunk of stock going to the Chinese supplier and heavy dilution for regular investors that were diluted enough just 7 months ago. At least the stock is suspended so it can't go down .... or at least not until the day they take it out of suspension!!

Gin is enjoying a boom, with sales in pubs up 12 per cent last year. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/10015046/The-best-gin-cocktails.html

Well done Blavod for securing another distribution deal and well done Howard Raymond for picking Blavod to distribute your new spirits :) It's going to be very enjoyable watching our company grow, unlike our children lets hope Blavod turns out to be a monster!!

Nice to get another tick up on a day where most of the small cap stocks were marked down on low volume on the back of the drop on the main market and gold price. Back above 1p now, next target 1.5p. eddyojb, for me the spread is not that important, what matters is the buy price and where the price will go this year and next year. What you have to remember is that the bid price only matters if you want to buy today and sell tomorrow, because if the price goes up significantly as I expect it will, then the bid will be well above where it is today regarless of the spread (even though the spread would close as the price went up anyway).

My prediction of fundraising was bang on, only 15 days out going by the RNS, but I guess CFU were trying to raise cash at the end of March and hence the delay have RNS'd it at this time, hence I claim 'bang on'. Only 20 BG's installed in 4 months, 60 per annum. Still a cottage industry and a heavy cash burning one at that. What price this fund raising? Who will get the stock (not PI's by the looks of it)? How much dilution for PI's this time? See you later for the next exciting episode of this multi-million-pound drama. My post from 06 Dec 2012 Still no sales since the fund raising so not looking good, as CFU will need more cash before the middle of next year. Cash at end of Sept was £8.7m, cash burn for the Sept quarter was £2.9m, so enough cash for 9 months exactly, but fund raising will need to be done about 3 months before cash runs out, which means fund raising at the end of March 2013.

Nice tick up today to add to the weeks gains. Still a long way from fair value IMVHO.

A nice little 8.8% rise on just a few small value buys. Imagine how it would rise with significant interest. Only a matter of time IMVHO.

I have been visiting my local wine and spirit merchants asking them if they have any RedLeg Rum, if not I tell them about it winning the double gold medal in San Fran, then I tell them it's from Blavod and they make Blavod Black Vodka and Blackwoods Gin. I tell them to Google Blavod Wines and check out the offerings, they said they will. If all shareholders do this it will help their investment, maybe only a little bit, but for a couple of hours 'spreading the word' it would soon add up if everyone did it. It's not just the number of shops selling the products, it is the number of shoppers that see it, buy it, get to know it, give it to their friends, tell their friends about it, join it on FB or Twitter, etc, etc.

Blackwoods wins Gold as well https://www.facebook.com/blackwoodsgin

The announcements from the links below are chock full of positives, for sales figures, margins, new customers, lower costs, lower losses, better management, best selling products, gold medals, improved debt collection, improved stock management, etc, etc. The positives clearly outweigh the negatives by a decent margin and as with these RNS that margin is continually getting bigger. Just read the RNS in chronological order and it's obvious that Blavod is heading the right way faster than the market is appreciating it. One day the market will catch up and the stock will get a re-rating, IMVHO this year. http://www.investegate.co.uk/blavod-wines---38--spirits-plc--bes-/one/trading-update/20120906070146H9033/ http://www.investegate.co.uk/blavod-wines---38--spts--bes-/rns/blackwood-s-gin-listed-in-uk-multiple-retailer/201211220700157228R/ http://www.investegate.co.uk/blavod-wines---38--spts--bes-/rns/half-yearly-report/201212141458046054T/ http://www.investegate.co.uk/blavod-wines---38--spts--bes-/rns/renewal-of-three-year-agreement-for-branca-brands/201302270700107154Y/ http://www.investegate.co.uk/blavod-wines---38--spts--bes-/rns/australian-multiple-orders-redleg-rum/201303070700174102Z/ http://www.investegate.co.uk/blavod-wines---38--spts--bes-/rns/redleg-wins-double-gold/201304041030015697B/
