Well, that's what the Times reported was going to happen earlier in the year. From Times April 18th 2016. Microsoft takes aim at Rosslyn Data Technologies A small AIM-quoted handler of so-called “big data” for multinational clients looks like being the latest British technology company to slip into American hands. Microsoft appears to be the most likely buyer of Rosslyn Data Technologies after several clients are understood to have expressed an interest. Rosslyn joined the Alternative Investment Market in April 2014, but was caught up in the negative reaction to other technology floats, such as Just Eat and AO.com. The shares were floated at 33p, but on Friday night were worth only 9½p, valuing Rosslyn at little more than £7 million. At a recent clients’ conference, a delegate from Microsoft is believed to have indicated an interest in buying the company and advancing it to its next phase of development, with sales of potentially as much as £50 million a year. Other clients who are thought to be interested are Genpact, a global business processing company, and PwC, the accountancy giant. Rosslyn helps them and other clients, including Diageo, Xerox and Boots, via the internet to turn reams of data into a useable form. Its latest figures, covering the half-year to the end of October, show revenues up 46 per cent to £1.8 million and losses before tax decreasing by 22 per cent to £1.3 million. Rosslyn was founded by Charles Clark, who served in the army during the first Gulf War, and Hugh Cox in 2005. Analysts have suggested that the market has failed to appreciate the progress made by management in taking the company forward. One in January described the present valuation as “aberrant”. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/microsoft-takes-aim-at-british-minnow-3gblpxnsj
'Further to the announcement on 29 July 2016, the board of Braveheart is pleased to announce that it has agreed terms to conditionally sell its 1.25 per cent. interest and the 3.75 per cent. interest held by Strathclyde Investment Fund ("SIF"), in which the Group has an 89.3 per cent. interest, in mLED Limited ("mLED") to a large US based technology company. The sale is conditional, inter alia, on the termination of certain ' I would this to mean that BRH hold 89.3% of SIF's 3.75% interest. Not 89.3% of mLed as a whole. all IMO - Happy to be advised otherwise.

Because SEN is being valued at 15% of the new group and has 27million shares , you calculate that the rest of the company will then have 153million shares. Does this need to be the case? Surely they could raise the other funds at higher than the current SP of SEN. A possibility?

Article starts The Chilean renewables market has been the focus of much interest in recent years as the industry reacts to the potential for growth. In August 2014, the government awarded 76 concessions to more than 30 companies for development of 3.1GW of wind and solar energy projects. Latest figures released by the Centre for Renewable Energy in Chile in September 2015 have exceeded all expectations, with an encouraging pipeline of 50 renewable energy projects, corresponding to 2,394MW, declared under construction and planned to become operational between September 2015 and August 2017. As of August 2015, there were 69 renewable energy projects undergoing environmental evaluation by the environment authority with a total capacity of 6,015MW. Renewable power is likely to continue to develop and to take a more prominent role in the energy profile in Chile. In August 2014 the installed renewable energy capacity represented 8.7 per cent of the total electrical capacity of the distribution system in Chile, whereas as of August 2015 this figure has increased to 11.27 per cent. Its growth will be sustained by a new renewable generation target of 20 per cent by 2025 http://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/knowledge/publications/134773/chile

Directors options - A realistic possibility or pie in the sky? It was announced in November 2015 that director options would not be exercisable unless and until the Company's share price equals or exceeds 37p for a period of at least 90 consecutive days and upon exercise is at or above the 37p threshold. Is it a realistic possibility that the shares can reach 37p and stay above that price for a least a 3 month period? Well this certainly won't happen overnight. At 9.5p the current MCAP is only £5.54M ,at 37p ,with the same number of shares (58.32 million) , the MCAP would be £21.5M. The Director options announcement came after it was unveiled that the Funding Affording Homes (FAH) was to forward fund Extra Care Housing schemes. This FAH partnership is key to ASH reaching and maintaining an SP of over 37p. It was announced in Sep 2015 that Ashley House's Extra Care housing schemes pipeline currently stood at a revenue value of £149m over nineteen schemes. IMO ,the reason to be optimistic about ASH and why the option price of 37p may at some point be reached is what seems to be happening in the background. With a pipeline of 19 schemes, there must be quite a few currently going through the planning phase which will only come to light one by one as they are given planning approval. Already in 2016 , ASH have been given 3 Extra Care schemes planning approvals, two in Leicester and One in Havant. FAH only last week announced that they had received a further investment of £15m from Big Society capital and that they are aiming to invest over £100m in 2016 and £500m during the first three years of operation. Thus ASH's partnership with FAH should allow their Extra Care pipeline of schemes to be increased somewhat over the next few years. Also, the FAH announcement 'during the first three years of operation' implies that it will be going longer than that, which can only mean that ASH's pipeline of Extra Care schemes seems secure for some time. On top of the FAH Extra Care schemes , there are also other avenues of Extra Care projects, in particular with the North Yorkshire County Council , where it was named last year as a framework partner to enable it to win contracts to work on the multi-million pound initiative to bring Extra Care accommodation to major towns in North Yorkshire. All in all, there seems to be plenty reasons to be optimistic about ASH's future prospects and that may be a realistic possibility that the Directors will be able to exercise their options at some time in the not too distant future and perhaps it's not pie in the sky. :-)
Further news: ASH's funding partner Funding Affordable Homes ("FAH") (see RNS 30th Sept 2015) for its Extra Care pipeline has received an investment of £15m from Big Society Capital. ............................................................................ FAH announce £15m investment Tuesday 19th January 2016 (extracts from article) Funding Affordable Homes (FAH), a social impact company, has announced it has received an investment of £15m from Big Society Capital. FAH has also signed its first co-operation agreement in the general needs affordable housing sector, with Housing Solutions, a leading housing association in the South East, which owns, manages and maintains more than 7,500 homes. The agreement will see FAH and Housing Solutions work together to identify housing development schemes for FAH to invest in, and which Housing Solutions will maintain and manage. Since its launch in September 2015 FAH has committed £25m in three projects which will deliver 136 individual homes and 72 hostel places. The company is aiming to invest over £100m in 2016 and £500m during the first three years of operation, becoming a significant participant in the sector and introducing new long-term sources of funding. Projects into which FAH invests must be capable of delivering social benefit. Recent agreements signed by FAH include: Ashley House: Two separate forward financing transactions have been signed by FAH with Ashley House Plc, the Extra Care Housing, Health Property Partner and founder member of the Social Stock Exchange. This followed the earlier signing of a funding and partnering agreement in September 2015. Both transactions will see FAH provide forward funding for affordable housing projects in Essex; the first being an extra care and learning disabilities project in Harwich, and the second an extra care project in Walton-on-the-Naze. Both projects will allow residents requiring varying levels of support to retain their independence. link to full article hTTp://www.24dash.com/news/housing/2016-01-19-FAH-announces-15m-investment
