I agree the point about tungsten becoming profitable. However the last thing anyone needs is directors fighting it out. They should focus on keeping the business running and growing. Let’s see what the market makes of it.

It’s a crap RNS

Offcourse it’s bosch Even though the company have not announced it, the pictures from the exhibition clearly showed the Kylos unit. Also Starcom Systems is following the division that showed the product at the exhibition on their Twitter. Join the dots as they say.. Somethings are blindly obvious that you don’t even need them to confirm it

There is a time lag, between receiving orders, placing them, paying the supplier and receiving payment once that order is delivered Hence the capital raise

It’s not a deadline It’s simply a date that they hope to conclude a deal by (which depends on other parties too)

Absolutely agree with you yrabs I’d much rather them staying silent and announcing solid news rather than the constant tweets which are not material in any way.

I know Bayer was being discussed on iii. Well Bayer deal scheduled to close this week on Thursday Our deal to follow afterwards?

I think just to avoid misleading the new readers of this board, it should be pointed out that piece of news is 2 months old... However I agree - It's absolutely positive for the company.

Ignore my last post It’s totally wrong Sorry

Trading update would normally be for the year ending 30th June So just over a month to go

Either way draft - I think we all agree that the future is most definitely electric. The projections all show this to be an area which will increase exponentially. Massive massive scope. So regardless of manufacturer - we will reap the rewards hopefully GLA Good research by the way

Actually draft, reading your post again and connecting the dots - I think you may be right, however equally could be way off and it could be another US electric bike manufacturer I think we all agree on one point - The future is changing and this should be good for sales figures if this really picks up.... The company builds about 2,000 motorcycles annually, and labels itself as the Tesla of Motorbikes

The full results stated "a large US electric bike manufacturer". With all due respect, I would not class Harley Davidson as a large electric bike manufacturer. I actually think it's Zero. Zero Bikes is an established large US electric bike manufacturer. The other one is Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, but like the name suggests, that's actually German, so can't be that I actually think it's Zero Bikes Got this from a motor bike magazine A quiet revolution is coming. Electric motorbikes are increasingly staking a claim in the market and with big name brands committed to the technology, it�s only a matter of time before they go seriously mainstream. But it�s been a long time coming. Electric motorbikes have been around far longer than you might think, mentioned as far back as the late 19th century in patent paperwork. In the 1930s, the technology produced an early success story when the Limelette brothers founded motorcycle company Socovel in Brussels, producing an electric bike as a solution to Second World War petrol rationing. They reportedly sold 400 motorbikes, with a range of around 30 miles, in 1942 but switched back to petrol when hostilities ended. Fast forward via various prototypes to 1974, and Mike Corbin, godfather of motorcycle seats, was breaking the electric land speed record with 165.387mph at Bonneville, Utah. US-based Lightning now claims the record for its LS-218, which achieved a top speed of 218mph, also at Bonneville, in 2011. The bike is said to be the fastest production petrol-driven or electric motorcycle in the world. Other milestones on the way to where we are now include the Peugeot Scoot�elec electric scooter, produced from 1996-2006, which had a 40km range and is regarded as the first mass-produced motorbike, although its total sales were apparently less than 4,000. But rapidly advancing technology in the decade or so since the Scoot�elec bit the dust, plus an ever-increasing awareness of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, means that the electric market�s time has well and truly come. Existing and new fans of two wheels are recognising the advantages of electric motorbikes from an energy efficiency, environmental and road congestion perspective, driving rapid growth in the global electric scooter and motorcycle market. According to market research specialists Research and Markets, it was worth just under $13 billion in 2016 but will almost double to $22 billion by 2025. Current developments Harley-Davidson unveiled its all-electric Project LiveWire back in 2014 but now it is moving up a gear. Speaking in January this year, president and CEO Matthew Levatich described the prototype as �an exhilarating, no excuses, electric Harley-Davidson�, which the company plans to bring to market within 18 months. All very exciting. GLA

Hey Draft Excellent piece of news if true Where’s the link to Harley Davidson and the new electric bike?

Agree draft Starcom don’t really need the UN Contract. However if it comes then agree, it’s just an icing on the cake.

Probably 10 to 20 percent of overall deal size So around 50 to 100 million

The company is most definitely gaining traction

Whose def going?

People are just trying too hard. Relax It’ll come good eventually

The fact that it fits a variety of locks and the fact that any profits don’t have to be shared is good business sense. Excellent news from a profitablity point of view.
